The Bones Episode That Got Pulled After A Real School Shooting

A Bones season 2 episode was shuffled back into season 3 in the wake of a real-life shooting in 2007.

From the central relationship between Emily Deschanel's Bones and David Boreanaz's Seely Booth to the camaraderie and romances shared by their deep bench of subordinates, the show treated its dedicated fan base as part of an endearingly twisted family. Hardcore Boners undoubtedly noticed something was up late in the show's second season when, during the "Bones" episode "Spaceman in a Crater," entomologist Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne) mentions that his colleague and lover, forensic artist Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin), previously rejected his proposal of marriage. Though the situations are obviously very different, the awful scale of the attack (32 people were killed) and the fact that it happened on a college campus carried the potential to jar viewers from what was meant to be a one-hour escape from their workaday lives.
