The Long-Awaited Resurrection: Unraveling the Mysteries of a Bones Revival

Summary

The number 447 in Bones remains a mystery, leaving fans eager for answers if the series is ever revived.

The working dynamics between Booth and Brennan remain uncertain following the bombing incident, but a revival would bring much-needed clarity. The health of Angela and Hodgins' unborn baby following the explosion is still uncertain, leaving viewers curious about potential side effects or conditions.

There have been ongoing rumors about the potential revival of the TV show Bones, and if the cast and crew were to reunite for another season, the new episodes would have to address several unresolved mysteries. The procedural crime series aired on Fox for 12 seasons and 246 episodes, concluding on March 28, 2017. The series finale intentionally left certain aspects of the show open-ended, possibly in anticipation of a revival, reboot, movie, or some form of continuation. Regardless, the last episode left viewers with numerous lingering questions concerning the fate of the characters.

Bones starred Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and David Boreanaz as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, with the plot revolving around their unconventional partnership. Brennan, a forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian Institute, frequently collaborated with Booth to solve murder cases. Throughout the 12 seasons, the cast also included Michaela Conlin as Angela Montenegro, T.J. Thyne as Dr. Jack Hodgins, Eric Millegan as Dr. Zack Addy, Tamara Taylor as Camille Saroyan, John Francis Daley as Lance Sweets, and John Boyd as James Aubrey. If there is ever a season 13 of Bones, it is hoped that these characters will return and provide answers to the following ten questions.

10 The Full Truth Behind Bones' 447 Mystery

The number 447 made several appearances throughout different seasons and episodes of Bones, sparking numerous fan theories about its significance and role in the series' conclusion. However, the importance of 447 remained unexplained when the last episode aired, leaving fans disappointed. The Fox procedural show chose not to disclose the reasons behind its frequent sightings and references. Therefore, in the event of a network revival of the series, viewers may finally receive the answers they have been seeking regarding 447.

9 Did Booth & Brennan Remain Partners?

The previous episode of Bones showcased a catastrophic incident where a bomb devastates the lab at the esteemed Jeffersonian Institute. This unfortunate event compels some of the characters to temporarily go their separate ways. In the concluding scene of the series' finale, Booth and Brennan find themselves sitting on a bench outside the Jeffersonian, fondly reminiscing about the past 12 years before embarking on a joint journey into the distance. Undeniably, their marital bond remains unshaken, but one lingering question revolves around their professional relationship. It is hoped that the bombing incident does not alter their dynamics, and a potential revival of the series would put those uncertainties to rest.

8 Did Angela Give Birth To A Healthy Baby?

Following the explosion in Bones season 12, episode 11, the condition of Angela and Hodgins' unborn baby became a major concern. Fortunately, both Angela and her child survived. However, prior to the explosions, the couple expressed worries about their infant potentially having Leber's Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), as both Angela and Hodgins were carriers of the disorder. Since Angela did not give birth before the series concluded, viewers were left pondering the baby's health and whether they suffered from LCA or encountered any other side effects due to the traumatic explosion.

7 What Does The New Version Of The Jeffersonian Look Like?

The conclusion of Bones left fans eagerly anticipating the reveal of the rejuvenated Jeffersonian Institute. As the series ended, a construction team diligently worked to restore the lab to its former glory. Characters expressed their anticipation for the final outcome, leaving viewers to ponder whether the reconstruction would bring about noticeable changes. If a revival of Bones ever becomes a reality, the unveiling of the new and enhanced Jeffersonian lab would finally provide the long-awaited answer to fans' curiosity.

6 Was Cam Ever Going To Return The Jeffersonian?

5 Did Hodgins Remain The King Of The Lab?

In the penultimate episode of Bones, Cam tied the knot with Arastoo Vaziri, one of Brennan's interns who made his debut in season 4. Following their nuptials, the newlyweds made a heartfelt decision to expand their family by adopting three boys from Mississippi. In light of this new chapter, Cam took a well-deserved break from her role as head of the Forensic Division at the Jeffersonian Institute. This led to speculation about whether Cam's departure was a permanent leave or just a temporary absence. Hopefully, her absence is just a temporary one, and we can anticipate her eventual return to her rightful position at the Jeffersonian Institute.

After Cam left on a break during the finale of Bones, she assigned Hodgins as her replacement, who wasted no time in proclaiming himself as the undisputed "King of the Lab." Hodgins was overjoyed, as he had been advocating for this title throughout the show's 12 seasons. As the Fox procedural series concluded, his long-awaited wish finally came true. If Cam chose not to return to work permanently and instead focused on her new family or pursued a less demanding career path, Hodgins could have enjoyed his reign as the "King of the Lab" for a considerable amount of time after the finale.

4 How Innocent Was Zack?

One of the most shocking plot twists in Bones occurred during season 3, when the characters discovered that Zack Addy, Brennan's loyal intern, had been collaborating with a notorious serial killer. Shockingly, Zack had been under the influence and manipulation of a notorious criminal known as The Gormogon right from the start. It was eventually revealed that Zack had committed a murder while working with the killer, although doubts about his innocence lingered throughout the subsequent seasons. After a lengthy trial, Zack was ultimately acquitted of the charges against him, but he still had to serve the remaining 13 months of his prison sentence for his role as The Gormogon's apprentice. The constant uncertainty surrounding Zack's true involvement in the crimes left viewers perplexed and questioning his complete culpability.

3 Did Zack Resume His Job At The Jeffersonian?

After Zack's release, it would be logical for him to regain his position at the Jeffersonian Institute in Bones. His former colleagues maintained communication with him throughout the years and even provided testimonies during his trial, making it unsurprising if they advocated for his reinstatement. If Fox ever decides to revive Bones for a thirteenth season, Zack's return is imperative as he was a vital and intricate character, and the fans would appreciate an update on his professional journey.

2 Did Aubrey & Karen Start Dating?

The finale of the Bones series showcased a breakup between James Aubrey and Jessica Warren, along with Aubrey declining a job offer in Los Angeles. Following this, there was a playful interaction between him and Karen Delfs, hinting at the possibility of a budding romance. Sadly, the audience was left without witnessing their official start as a couple. Nevertheless, a potential Bones revival holds the potential to reveal whether Aubrey and Karen ever took the courageous step of exploring their mutual affection.

1 Did Brennan's Brain Injury Have Any Lasting Side Effects?

Brennan suffered a minor brain injury during the penultimate episode of Bones that impacted her memory. Consequently, she was unable to recall a crucial clue that would have aided the team in their final case. Thankfully, Brennan's memory conveniently returned at the perfect moment, although it's important to remember that this was a fictional TV series. Nevertheless, viewers might still be left wondering if her brain injury had any other long-term effects that could potentially be explored in a Bones revival.
