The Resurrection in the Remains is the fifth episode of the eleventh season of Bones and part one of the crossover event with Sleepy Hollow.

Summary[]

It's Halloween time at The Jeffersonian, as the team gets a surprise visit from newly minted FBI Agent Abbie Mills and Ichabod Crane, who have traveled from Sleepy Hollow to claim a headless body already under investigation by Brennan and her team. The new foursome must figure out how to work together to discover who the 200-year-old headless corpse is, and how it is linked to a contemporary murder victim. Meanwhile, Booth and Brennan come up with the ultimate Halloween pranks to play on each other in the special crossover episode.

Notes[]

  • This episode is the first of a two-part crossover with the supernatural show Sleepy Hollow. The story concludes in the Sleepy Hollow episode "Dead Men Tell No Tales" (However, the Bones side of the crossover is mostly standalone, although the Sleepy Hollow episode both follows up the fate of the corpse of General William Howe and is a part of the show's current struggle against Pandora).
  • This episode raises the possibility that Bones and Sleepy Hollow share a universe, which would mean that, despite Brennan's skepticism, magic, demons, witches, angels, gods and the undead are all real.
  • It's also possible that this episode is not canon to the Bones universe. In the Season 9 premiere, The Secrets in the Proposal, Hodgins mentions to Angela that their DVR is set to record Sleepy Hollow. Given this episode, it is not logical that he is referring to any adaptation of the short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving, since the showrunners of Sleepy Hollow confirmed before the show premiered that the story was never written in-universe (hence Abby not having heard of Ichabod Crane or the Headless Horseman before encountering them in person).

Quotes[]

Aubrey: She made you think you were eating human brain, so the only appropriate response is to make her think she's eating something worse.
Booth: Like what?
Aubrey: I'm thinking...well, I hate soy cheese.
Booth: She already eats that stuff.
Aubrey: Oh. Well, then she's in her own personal hell, there's nothing I can do.

Wendell: Now we have to go through all of it [the evidence] to find General Howe's skull.
Hodgins: Yeah, that's where the fun is! I'm as excited as a little boy on Christmas morning!
Cam: That makes me feel just a little bad for Michael Vincent.
