Bones and Sleepy Hollow might have similarly playful tones (and excellent banter between the two crime-fighting duos at their core), but it's still a little crazy that the two Fox hits are doing a crossover.
And yet, here we are—with E! News' exclusive sneak peek at Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie) making their first appearance on Bones when they arrive at the Jeffersonian to talk to Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Hodgins (TJ Thyne) about a set of remains.
There's a Nordic rune involved, so naturally conspiracy theorist Hodgins is into the possibly "otherworldly" case.
Enter Ichabod and Abbie, who are clearly ready to take on the possibly supernatural case. Hodgins is confused by Ichabod's outfit, and Ichabod doesn't appreciate Hodgins' assessment of his clothing as "cosplay."
"Do I look as though I have just beamed from the planet Vulcan? No. I wear these clothes to honor the men who fought so this country could be born," he shoots back.
But Abbie is focused on the task at hand: Getting the headless remains back to New York. "This is about solving a case in Sleepy Hollow. We're not leaving without those bones," she says.
Sleepy Hollow and Bones in one sentence? Drink! (That's the first rule for our unofficial crossover drinking game, which so far only has one rule and should be played responsibly.)
The two-hour Bones-Sleepy Hollow crossover event begins with Bones on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 8 p.m., followed by Sleepy Hollow at 9 p.m. on Fox.
