05/10 - Emily Deschanel's notorioulsy uptight Brennan [will sing in the episode.] "She sings 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun,'" laughs [executive producer Hart] Hanson.

As the team searches to find out who silenced Tommy once and for all, a shocking occurrence may change the Jeffersonian team forever as one member is caught in the line of fire.

The investigation quickly leads them to the Checker Box Restaurant, where Tommy took part in "open mic" nights.

Besides Pam (see spoiler below), other suspects are Tommy's neighbor and people who took part in the "open mic" events. Zack tells Cam his secret to being deceptively strong.

- 12/13/2007 - American Idol Season 6 contestant Brandon Rogers reveals: Last month I did something REALLY exciting... Early next year, look for me to be featured in a guest spot on the crime drama Bones on FOX!! It was an Idol affair as Season 5 finalist Ace Young is also featured in the same episode. For the record, his part in the show is WAY more integral to the story line than mine. Source: Brandon Rogers' MySpace page
- 12/13/2007 - That cliffhanger at the end of episode 12 is going to be more difficult emotionally for Brennan than for Booth. Someone's suffering physically as well... Source: Kristin on E!Online

As you may have heard, John Francis Daley is joining the cast permanently, and by midseason he'll be fully in the mix, assisting in suspect interrogations and working up psych profiles. This turns out to be especially useful when Booth gets himself an admirer/stalker. Source: Kristin on E!Online

- 04/23 - When a human jawbone shows up at the Jeffersonian, Brennan and the team quickly realize that the Gormogon serial killer has struck again. In a shocking turn of events, an explosion in the lab sends Zack to the hospital; Gormogon's silver skeleton goes missing from the basement vault; and every Jeffersonian employee becomes a suspect, with the very real possibility that one of their very own may be working with the twisted and elusive serial killer.

- 03/23 - "We'll get a quicker ID on everyone's favorite medieval serial killer, Gormogon. He'll be corralled in a single episode instead of an extended arc; while no one's giving away any deets on the Gor-man's identity, we can tell you that Hanson loves everyone's conjecture - he actually giggled when we suggested it might be John Francis Daley's Dr. Sweets - and he promises that Gormogon is "not just somebody out in the world. I probably told you too much." Source: Entertainment Weekly
Episode 4.01: The He In The She (Season premiere)
Airdate: August 26, 2008
- 04/23 - "We're currently shooting our second episode back from the strike, and that's the first two of the eight we are shooting through the end of June. The last two of that eight will be a two-parter shot on location in London, England - we hope. The two that we'll shoot in England are supposed to air as the season four premiere on August 26, and then the middle four episodes of those eight will air after the season premiere, in September," [show runners Hart Hanson reveals.] Source: Kristin on E!Online
- 04/09 - Get used to the name "Vincent Juarez." I suspect we may be seeing a lot of him next season. He's one of Dr. Brennan's brighter grad students and he'll be joining the Squints until Brennan can find a new full-time forensic anthropologist. The yet-to-be-cast character loves to lighten the mood in the lab, but he definitely thinks he's funnier than he actually is. [...] In related news, does anyone know why Bones would be looking for a new full-time forensic anthropologist?
