Bones: The Woman in Limbo

As Brennan works to identify the remains of a Jane Doe, she is shocked when she finds that the remains are that of her mother who went missing with her father 15 years ago. The unexpected news that her mother is dead hits Brennan hard, but leads Booth to open an investigation into the case for the first time. His investigation provides some shocking news -- Brennan's parents were living under assumed identities -- all of which forces Brennan to deal with a new reality.

Episode Notes
Bones' family was not exactly who they said they were. Her mother and father were bank robbers on the lam. Here's what she thought her family's names were and what they really are.

Matthew Brennan - Max Keenan (Father)
Christine Brennan - Ruth Keenan (Mother)
Russ Brennan - Kyle Kennan (Brother)
Temperance Brennan - Joy Keenan (Herself)

At the end of the episode, Bones has a message on her answering machine from her father asking her to stop looking for him.

Bones' second novel is called "Bone Free", but at the end of the episode, her copy of the manuscript has that name crossed out.

This is the final appearance of Jonathan Adams (Dr. Daniel Goodman) as a main cast member.
