"Whips, chains, nipple clamps..."
That is exactly how Bones is lightening the mood this Thursday after two emotional episodes dealing with the death and aftermath of Sweets' (John Francis Daley) shocking death.
No, Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) walking into "a sex dungeon" isn't the set-up for a joke or the beginning of a fan fiction story a la Fifty Shades of Grey. It's what is going down in our exclusive sneak peek at the Fox hit's all-new episode, "The Purging of the Pundit."
Press play on the clip above to see Boreanaz and Deschanel try (and fail!) to keep a straight face while talking about the kinky episode! Plus, we find out just how many shades of grey Booth is willing to try out...
While the team bid an emotional farewell to Sweets in the last episode, executive producer Stephen Nathan said fans shouldn't expect to see the show take on a darker tone.
"Bones is not going to turn into a dark show where they are dealing with these demons all of the time," he said. "We are going to be back on our traditional Bones footing very quickly."
Hence the whips and chains and bondage of it all!
Bones airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.
