VIDEO: Booth meets Stewie Griffin on 'Bones'

The season's strangest crossover episode happens Thursday night on "Bones," when Stewie Griffin from "Family Guy" starts talking back through the TV screen at Booth (David Boreanaz).

Thursday's episode is the one where Brennan (Emily Deschanel) decides she wants a baby and tells Booth she wants him to be the father -- presumably because empirically, he would be the best genetic candidate. The feelings her decision dredges up, coupled with an undiagnosed medical issue, causes Booth to start having hallucinations in the form of Stewie. Take a peek:

Other previews show Stewie popping up in an interrogation room, so the hallucination apparently isn't an isolated incident. There is, of course, also a murder: The episode is called "The Critic in the Cabernet," and the case centers on a body discovered inside a wine barrel during a tasting (bleah).

Brennan's baby decision will continue to resonate into next week's finale, but Stewie will be gone by then.

I live in Canada and tonights episode of Bones aired here last night. I normally don't mind spoilers - I read them on this site, but I have to say, I'm glad I got to see the episode last night before reading this article - it made the last 10 minutes of the show that much more powerful for me. I was a bit leary about what they were doing with Stewie, but they used it well and it was NOT a "jump the shark" (man I hate that phrase!!!!!) moment at all. Fantastic fantastic acting in that last 10 minutes - the heart in the eyes.

That... looked more like an episode of Family Guy than Bones...

toomuchtv: thanks for the head's up. can't wait!

As long as Stewie isn't dancing next to Booth and is actually, you know, on the TV, don't mind him there at all. Booth and Stewie all in one night...gonna be a good day. :>)
