The priest who married Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) died in episode 4. Aldo Clemens’ murderer was the son of a Bosnian warlord. Booth had shot his father several years ago at his son’s birthday party.

It became clear towards the end of this week’s episode that the warlord’s son’s next target is Booth.

What will happen next in “Bones”?

Despite the threat to Booth’s life, he and his wife will go back to solving cases in Season 12, episode 5. According to the synopsis of “The Tutor In The Tussle,” the Jeffersonian-FBI team will solve the murder of a dead tutor. She used to teach privileged students.

The team questions all possible suspects including disgruntled parents to her roommate with a criminal record.

The preview of the upcoming episode of “Bones” reveals that the killer used a shotgun to murder the tutor. Moreover, the crime scene is littered with ample evidence and clues. Some even fall from the sky and on to Aubrey’s (John Boyd) coat and shirt.

Episode 5 will see the return of Aubrey’s father Philip (played by John Boyd’s real life father). Another preview of the episode shows Boyd talking about what is next for his character in the final season.

Aubrey’s father had stolen billions from his client so that he could be rich. He believed that his father was living aboard until his girlfriend Karen (Sara Rue) informs him that he is in Washington, D.C. He finally confronts his father in “Bones.” Perhaps he will get the closure he needs.

Elsewhere, Brennan gets frustrated with the voice of her audio book and tries to prove that she can record it herself.
