Episodes

[edit]

The season is truncated due to Emily Deschanel's pregnancy and maternity leave. Originally, six episodes were scheduled to air in 2011 before the series went on hiatus,[5] but the sixth episode was postponed to January 12, 2012, with the series then going on hiatus until the spring.[6] The season begins a few months after the end of the previous season with Brennan in her third trimester.[7] The season also introduces a new recurring antagonist, whom executive producer Stephen Nathan describes as "more of a 21st-century, tech-savvy foe" compared to the series' past recurring antagonists. The first six episodes also deal with Booth and Brennan preparing to raise their child.[5]
