They are asked by local officials to lend their expertise to a high-profile murder investigation involving a young British heiress and are paired up with their respective British counterparts, Dr. Ian Wexler (guest star Andrew Buchan) and Inspector Cate Pritchard (guest star Indira Varma). The duos venture through London to investigate the puzzling murder of the young and glamorous heiress, whose father is a wealthy American businessman.

- 08/24 - Detective work isn't the only thing on the itinerary, however...there's a little flirtation as well. Emily said: "I am giving a lecture at Oxford, and I have been invited here by Dr. Ian Wexler, another forensic anthropologist-the top forensic anthropologist in England. He's kind of like me in London. The lecture is on interstitial lamellae remodeling-one of my favorite subjects to speak about-and Booth falls asleep while I'm giving my lecture, which I don't appreciate." But don't worry B&B fans, Booth isn't falling down on the job. According to David Boreanaz: "Ian Wexler is the forensics guy over here, and he's moving in on her-which is fine, but it's also going to drive me crazy, obviously." Source: Kristin on E!Online
- 07/12 - The premiere, which has filmed in locations at Wrotham Park, Greenwich, Canary Wharf and the Guildhall, will see Brennan and Booth attempt to solve the murder of an American girl. [Hart] Hanson explained: "It has a slight Upstairs, Downstairs aspect to it, with servants and royalty and the class system. An heiress with an American father is yanked from the Thames in her Range Rover. Brennan and Booth are here lecturing. Booth is lecturing at Scotland Yard and Brennan is lecturing at Oxford about working with cops. The murder happens... the FBI would have jurisdiction over it if Scotland Yard invited them."

- 07/12 - I'm told that Sean Blakemore (you can IMDb him here) will be playing Grayson Birimbau, the superperfect über-mensch (kind and brilliant, and hot and rich to boot) who met Angela one hot night in Fiji and persuaded her to become his wife (even if just for that one hot night).

- 06/21 - Grayson "Birimbau" Barasa, aka Angela's husband, finally surfaces. He doesn't want to sign the divorce papers, claiming that he still loves Angela. She told him that she now loves Hodgins but Birimbau doesn't want to listen. He reminds her of the night they met and how they both felt in the hope that Angela's love for him comes back. Later, Hodgins meets with Birimbau at a diner to have him sign the papers. Birimbau tells Hodgins that he has been looking for Angela for the past four years and that he even built her a house in Florida so there is no way he will let her go without a fight. Angela and Sweets meet Hodgins and Birimbau outside of the diner. Hodgins and Birimbau start to fight and Sweets joins in on the action before Angela walks off. One of the London folks Brennan and Booth interact with is Inspector Cate Pritchard. Source: SpoilerFix.com
- 06/14 - Cast and producers from Bones have crossed the pond to shoot in London this month, the first time the series has shot at an international location or outside Southern California.

Shooting at various locations in and around London, including the Thames River and Oxford University, Bones production will be in the U.K. for several weeks to complete scenes for the show's Season Four two-part premiere episode, "Yanks in the U.K. " Additional locations include shooting near the historic Tower Bridge, the stately Lambeth Palace, official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as throughout the streets of the city. "We are immensely pleased to be shooting our Season Four opener in England and are eager to work with the excellent cast and crew available in the U.K. Bones has never shot much more than a few miles outside of Los Angeles before, so we may as well start small by leaving the continent," said creator and executive producer Hart Hanson.

The lab is using some of Brennan's brighter grad students until they hire a permanent Forensic Anthropologist. In this episode, grad student Vincent Juarez is working along the team. Brennan doesn't seem happy with this tasking and sends Vincent back to the lab even if Cam brought him along. Vincent also has a hard time around Cam because he makes lame jokes and uses familiar terms that will not please Brennan.
