Weve always known that Angela and Hodgins belong together….
The scene where they talk about how they broke up has existed since they broke up.

It just felt like the right time to get them back together.
I do sometimes think of Hodgela Hodgela?
It lets off some pressure [that fans build up watching Bones and Booth go back and forth].
But its its own story.
++ Hanson has what could be the final scenes ofBonesalready written.
Idoknow where its going.
Its just how many steps between now and then are that I dont know.
++ The show will (as of now) keep its Thursdays at 8 p.m. timeslot.
But things can change.
++ They once seriously explored a crossover withLie to Me, but it didnt work out.
A crossover is not completely off the table.
Its one of those fortuitous things.
++ ABonesmovie was once talked about, but there are no plans now.
++ Hanson said six scripts exist for next season and eight stories are being developed.
As I was writing the season finale, the writers room was churning out the stories for next season.
Were quite a machine.
This next part is not safe for spoiler phobes.
++ This weeks episode opens with Brennans Gravedigger-related nightmare.
Thats part of the reason shes questioning the whole murder business, Deschanel said.
++ Ryan ONeal reprises his role as Brennans father in this weeks episode.
And hes not just there for moral support, teased Hanson.
++ During the end of the season, Brennan will be questioning her field.
++ Hanson anticipates that this years finale will cause a stir among fans.
I guess the short answer isyes.
And, you know, fifth season, you gotta do that.
++ Dont expect a lot of closure in the season finale, even with the Gravedigger storyline.
Closureis not the word I would use as we barrel forward into season 6, Hanson said.
I think its overrated, Deschanel added.
More scoop in when this weeks Ask Ausiello hits the Web.
But until then, what are your predictions for the finale, PopWatchers?
And would you like the idea of a movie or (non-cartoon) crossover?
Personally, Im game as long as neither involve Booth getting another brain tumor.
