Fox's Bones capped off its eighth season on Monday with a surprising ending, as hacker Pelant (Andrew Leeds) messed up Brennan's (Emily Deschanel) marriage proposal to Booth (David Boreanz).

Pelant demanded that if Booth didn't end the relationship with Brennan, he would go on to slay more people.

Bones executive producer Stephen Nathan told TV Guide that Brennan may indeed fall back into her old ways, following the less then ideal ordeal.

"It's going to be a big setback for Brennan and a big setback for the relationship when we open Season 9," he said. "She opened herself up and was somehow emotionally betrayed. And there's been no satisfactory reason given."

The EP also elaborated on the murky waters that will undoubtedly be in the forefront of the upcoming season.

"We're now entering season 9 with Booth having to resolve a situation that has put distance and potential danger between Brennan and him," Nathan added. "Booth knows what it will take to right his relationship with Brennan and to right the injustices that have been rained down on him, the squints, and all of these innocent people who have died. And Booth usually gets his man."

There's been no word yet on when Bones will return for season 9. Be sure to keep checking back for more details on the TV series.
