Spoiler: Alums in the Finale

Question: What's the latest on Zack returning to Bones? --Will

Ausiello: The latest is he's probably definitely most likely going to be in the finale on May 14. And he won't be the only Bones alum appearing in the ep. "The finale is pretty much going to have everyone who has ever been on the show," reveals exec producer Stephen Nathan, who says Patricia Belcher (Caroline) and Ryan O'Neal (Max) are among the MVPs slated to join Eric Millegan (Zack). "It's going to be an interesting last episode of the season. Very different for us, but it should make sense in the context of the season.

it should make sense?
will he give me a heart attack now?

Wait a minute... does it mean that... I don't know... for example, Sully will be there, too?! He better stay on his boat! Ot Tessa? Rebecca?! DON'T need them in an episode with BB in bed!!!

I wouldn't mind to see Sid and Goodman though. And Cullen!

Oh yes.....I didn't even think about that possibility.....I don't need Sully or Tessa either.....Rebecca wouldn't be too bad though.....maybe together with Parker.....

It says 'pretty much everyone'. Now you native speakers have to help me out on the semantics here but 'pretty much everyone' doesn't mean 'everyone' does it?

I just hope they're not trying to put too much into the whole episode...

Wouldn't it be fun to have an episode where there is not really a case/or a trial but just like the 'aftermath' of a case??? That way they would have more time for the characters...

I'm not a native speaker either, but pretty much everyone is not everyone.
And I guess it would be a little much, if they would ALL appear again.
But I like the idea of one epi dealing with the aftermath of a case.

It's probably because of Booth's allucinations! maybe he is imagining some of them are there with him.

haha nice insight
but i hope it not "everyone"...very crowded episode if it was.
Wouldnt give enough B&B bed time....

The date of the finale...is it going to be different because Bones was bumped again? I hope they do a double-episode week so the schedule isn't all screwed up.

I'd think that they would keep the finale in the same time spot...

Me too, because 'So You Think You Can Dance' starts the week after.

So coudn't they just air two episodes on finale night? Or that week?

Yeah, it doesn't mention 'everyone', just mostly everyone. But really...Max? Caroline? They could easily be there for excusable reasons. And probably Parker, which could mean Rebecca, which would not really be that bad.

But what do they mean by "should make sense"? Booth's hallucinating seeing all of them, or you know, halluinating past AND future events or something? I don't know. I just don't want them to mess this up.

Aloemilk read a rumor/spoiler that Goodman would be back for the finale... that was a couple of weeks ago and now it's really looking likely.

I think by "should make sense" that perhaps all of Booth's hallucinations will finally be put into perspective.

I guess this is true too.

Goodman coming back could be interesting. Like seeing him and Cam both on the platform. Unless of course it's due to a hallucination, then it really wouldn't matter.

And yeah, any chance we'll get to see Russ too? Or is that too much wishful thinking and characterness for one episode?

Because this episode is starting to almost look too big to squish into one hour. So, hey, here's an idea: Have part one be all case-like with those things going on. And then like someone else said, just have the second part be all of the character stuff. Yes...I know. Too much wishful thinking.
