'Bones' Season 9 Episode 17 Spoilers: Handsome Cuban Intern Works on New Case, Hits on Brennan [Video]
A handsome and suave Latin intern will spice things up during Monday's all-new episode of "Bones."
In the next installment, "The Repo Man in the Septic Tank," the team will investigate the death of a repo man whose remains were found within a septic tank. When the Jeffersonian team finds out that he had a troubled past, a few key witnesses from his life will become potential suspects, notes Hollywood Hills.
In the meantime, Cuban forensic anthropologist Rodolfo Fuentes will work as an intern on the case, using his charm to heat things up with the women.
A promo for "The Repo Man in the Septic Tank" shows that Angela and Cam seem to be really impressed by the smoking hot new intern. Rodolfo also hits on Brennan, telling her "I think soon we'll make love."
Executive producer Stephen Nathan disclosed some details about Rodolfo, revealing that he is a "Cuban defector who was the chief forensic anthropologist in Havana, but his credentials don't work here. As often happens with people who come from another country, they have to get accreditation again," reports the Examiner.
"So the Secretary of State has asked the Jeffersonian to give him the position because he needs an internship before he gets his accreditation. So he essentially is an equal with Brennan, but Brennan is his boss and he is in fact an intern. Ignacio's fantastic. He's just terrific. We can't wait to have him back. He will return," he continued.
Furthermore, Booth and Brennan will discuss whether they want Christine to have a religious upbringing.
According to CarterMatt, the official synopsis for Episode 17 reads, "A repo man's remains are found in a septic tank, and the Jeffersonian team must work together to figure out who the killer is. When the team discovers that the victim had a troubled past, some key witnesses from his earlier days become potential suspects. Meanwhile, handsome and charming Rodolfo Fuentes (guest star Ignacio Serricchio) has defected from Cuba, where he was a forensic anthropologist, but now needs an internship to complete his degree. Brennan agrees to try him out as an intern on a case, and Brennan and Booth discuss whether or not Christine should have a religious upbringing."
TVLine also dropped a few teasers about what's to come in the rest of Season 9, unveilng that there's a new twist in the Ghost Killer story arc and "a complex and conspiratorial" new layer will deepen the mystery in the season finale. The Ghost Killer is now slated be resolved in Episode 20. "One aspect of it is going to be resolved. We will, on one hand, tie up the murdering part, but leave open a far more complicated and nefarious story that will embroil everybody," Nathan said.
For fans wondering about Angela's real name, Nathan teased, "I think we're going to get to that next season."
Nathan added that Parker is in England and will not going to be at Christine's birthday party. Plus, when it's time to celebrate the little one's anniversary, Booth and Brennan will be "investigating a murder that tangentially takes place at a children's show called The Vegetabills. So there will be dancing and singing vegetables, some of whom are suspects. And in the midst of that, Booth is trying to work on Christine's birthday with Brennan, and we find out that Brennan has never had a b'day party herself when she was a kid. Max (returning guest star Ryan O'Neal) never threw her a party. So we see Max and Brennan working stuff out and bringing it to the party." Wait - there's still more! "Also in that episode, David [Boreanaz] fulfills a lifelong dream of having something to do with a one-man band."
