"Bones" is giving its fans double the Deschanel for Christmas.Noted cotton wearer and "(500) Days of Summer" star Zooey Deschanel will join her big sister Emily on the Dec. 10 episode of the FOX series, the network announced Thursday (Oct. 29). The episode will mark the first time Emily and Zooey have appeared together on screen.
Emily Deschanel and "Bones" creator Hart Hanson said at the start of the season that they wanted to have Zooey on the show but weren't sure if her schedule would allow it. That has obviously worked out now.
In the episode, which has the very "Bones"-ian title "The Goop on the Girl," Zooey will play Margaret Whitesell, a distant relative of her sister's character, Temperence Brennan. Brennan's dad (a returning Ryan O'Neal) comes into contact with Margaret and asks her to spend Christmas with him and Brennan.
The "Goop" part of the title comes from the case of the week, which has Brennan and Booth (David Boreanaz) investigating the death of a man in a Santa Claus suit who was blown up in a bank robbery gone wrong.

Hopefully they'll find an excuse for Zooey to sing, too.
This is awesome. I'm excited.
I agree. I could listen to her sing all day and all night. Everyone go pick up her album. The group is called She and Him...brilliant.
It'll be good to see the more talented sister on the show.
On another note, I'd really appreciate it if they'd kill off Ryan O'Neal's character. I cringe every time I see he's going to be on an episode...he is, and always has been, a bad actor.
Excellent . Zooey is awesome .
Talented . Seriously easy on the eyes .
The chicken processing plant scene in "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey kills me . The look on her face was priceless and Carrey's "beak in the bucket" faint makes me laugh every time I see it .

This is amazing. I love Emily so much, and Zooey is so great! This is probably going to be one of my favorite episodes yet! :]
I was so excited to hear this news! I love them both (Zooey, since 'Failure to Launch' - hilarious!) I CANNOT wait!!!!
I can't believe I forgot to DVR Bones last night. I'm kicking myself and really p.o's. I don't suppose anyone has the vaguest idea when it will be shown again ...???
I think that you need some stuff that is not a lie I know this because I read gosope magazines. So I know you lie so don't say I'm wrong. Or I will scream
