Season ten, time for blackmail!

When Bones returns on Sept. 25, Booth (David Boreanaz) will still be behind bars, and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is willing to do whatever it takes to bust him out. Even blackmailing a federal prosecutor.

In this exclusive sneak peek from the Fox hit's premiere, Booth's wife is doing just that...without fear or hesitation. "There is a statistical risk that you could arrest me," Brennan says to the shocked prosecutor, before pulling out that awesome Hunger Games-related line: "The odds are far more in my favor."

Watch the clip below to see just how badass Brennan is while getting her blackmail on.

But don't think that just because Brennan is fighting to get her man out of prison that everything will be OK between the couple, as Emily Deschanel told us, "It puts a big strain on the relationship."

And here's hoping Brennan's blackmail tactics work quickly as Deschanel previewed that Booth is having a pretty hard time. "His life is in danger because he's in jail with all of these guys who he put there that want to kill him. It's not good."

Looking ahead, Brennan will be facing some professional competition once again in the form of Saturday Night Live vet Nora Dunn, as E! News can exclusively confirm she'll be back in season ten. "She's so funny. She plays a rival crime novelist who's not a scientist," Deschanel said of Dunn's character, Tess Brown, who first appeared last season. "She's my rival with books and we go to a forensics convention and that's a big one."

Bones returns Thursday, Sept. 25 on Fox.
