Cyndi Lauper will be returning to TV's when FOX's Bones returns next month, and we have the pictures to prove it. Bones has enjoyed quite a following over the years, and it looks like season 5 of Bones will see the writers going out in some interesting new directions. If nothing else, the relationships have managed to stay fresh and engaging despite and exorbitant over-play of sexual tension. Cyndi Lauper guest stars as Avalon Harmonia, a psychic who provides leads to Brennan and Booth and subsequently becomes a suspect in their murder investigation.
In case you know absolutely nothing about Bones, here is a little low-down on the show before we get into the promo shots from next season.
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (Emily Deschanel) is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, DC, and writes novels as a sideline. When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless - when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that CSI gives up - law enforcement calls in Brennan for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim's Bones.
Most law enforcement can't handle Brennan's intelligence, her drive for the truth, or the way she flings herself headlong into every investigation. SPECIAL AGENT SEELEY BOOTH (David Boreanaz) of the FBI's Homicide Investigations Unit is the exception. A former Army sniper, Booth mistrusts science and scientists - the "squints," as he calls them -- who pore over the physical evidence of a crime. But even he cannot deny that the combination of his people-smarts and Brennan's scientific acumen makes them a formidable team.
