Before the duo makes their Bones debut, Brennan and Booth (David Boreanaz) will be going on their honeymoon. After Bones returns on Nov. 4, the newlyweds will go on their honeymoon and then eventually face the topic of parenting.
"Like any parent whose job puts them in danger, they will have to balance whether they want to continue with that kind of job," Bones creator Hart Hanson revealed to TVLine recently. "Is it fair to the child or children to be in gun battles and stuff? We have to start talking about that as a story generator."
Bones returns Monday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. on Fox.
