Six months after the events of last season, Booth, Brennan, daughter Christine and the new baby are ostensibly living a dream life, a world away from the murder-filled life they left behind. But a case with close personal ties to the couple compels Brennan to become involved in the forensic analysis of the remains, and Booth mysteriously goes missing, prompting an FBI investigation into his whereabouts led by Agent Grace Miller, who works closely with FBI Agent James Aubrey on the case. However, tensions rise when Miller tries to investigate one of the team’s own as the primary suspect.

In previous seasons the episode was available the day after it aired, but season 10 has fallen behind. Would be 5 stars if it were available the next day as they used to be.

This show gives you a great view of what Anthology. Where ever the case takes you, it's in the BONES. Getting married to Booth made Bones a great person that now can deal with human interaction.
