The Secrets in the Proposal

The Secrets in the Proposal is the first episode of the ninth season of Bones.
== Synopsis ==
In the season premiere, the Jeffersonian team investigates the murder of Jonas Siedel, an accountant for the state department, whose remains were found in a hotel air conditioning unit. When Booth finds his old army buddy and CIA agent, Danny Beck, clearing away evidence at the victim's condo, he begins to realize that Siedel's murder could yield more suspects than the team had anticipated. Booth also seeks out Aldo Clemens, his friend and an ex-priest from their military days together, to get advice on his relationship with Brennan, now that Pelant has put a wedge between them. Meanwhile, Brennan must decide whether to have faith in Booth or to end her relationship with him.

== Notes ==
*Booth mentions to Aldo that he's been searching for Pelant for three months. However, this episode does not take place 3 months after the season 8 finale, "The Secret in the Siege", as the character's reactions to the rejected marriage proposal suggest that the events are relatively recent. It's likely the "three months" Booth mentioned is the time since Pelant returned to D.C. in "The Corpse on the Canopy".
** In one scene, Hodgins mentions to Angela that their DVR is set to record Sleepy Hollow. Interestingly, Bones would later have a crossover with Sleepy Hollow in Season 11.
** Actor Freddie Prinze Jr. (Danny Beck) married and worked with Sarah Michelle Gellar on Scooby Doo, and David Boreanaz used to work with Sarah on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Both times, they played a couple (Fred and Daphne; Buffy and Angel).
