The premiere episode title for Bones' ninth season has been revealed in addition to a few key details.

The first episode of Bones season 9 will be called The Secrets in the Proposal, according to a Tuesday report from TVLine. The episode title is a reference to Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) proposing marriage to Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) in the season 8 finale, which did not entirely go as planned.

"We want to continue exploring how Booth and Brennan adjust after their ill-fated proposal and the secret Booth is forced to keep," said executive producer Stephen Nathan. "Secrets will be a theme we keep alive - and dead (we are a murder show after all) - in the episode."

Near the end of the season 8 finale, Booth was forced to call off his engagement with Bones due to Pelant the serial killer threatening him. Pelant called Booth telling him that if he got engaged to Bones then five innocent people would die.

As Enstars previously reported, when the season picks up there will be an ex-priest from Booth's past that will help him with his relationship with Bones and his Pelant problem.

Deschanel would be joining Boreanaz, Nathan and series creator Hart Hanson at Comic-Con on Friday, July 19. Only Boreanaz, Nathan and Hanson had been confirmed to be on the Bones panel, as Enstars reported Monday. The panel will be taking place at the San Diego convention on July 19 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in Ballroom 20.

Bones is scheduled to debut its ninth season on Monday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. on Fox. It will continuously air in that timeslot before moving to Fridays at 8 p.m. starting on Nov. 8.
