On BONES on Wednesday, Nov. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), the skeletal remains of a federal prosecutor who disappeared five years earlier are discovered in the desert outside Las Vegas. Brennan and Booth suspect his death is tied to the mob, and then vultures lead them to the more recent remains of a young woman, just a few yards away, whose injuries point to abuse. Following an anonymous lead into the world of gambling and underground ultimate fighting, Booth and Brennan go undercover as Vegas high-rollers, and Booth takes his turn in the ring, risking his life in a desperate effort to uncover the mystery of “The Woman in the Sand.”

The following week, on Wednesday, Nov. 15 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), when the bodies of twin teenage boys kidnapped five years earlier are found in Pennsylvania, Booth and Brennan find themselves on the trail of The Grave Digger, a notorious serial killer whose M.O. is to kidnap, bury his victims alive and make a single, exorbitant ransom request. If the money is not paid in the specified period of time, there is no further communication and the victims are left to die. During the investigation, Brennan and her scientist colleague Dr. Hodgins become The Grave Digger’s latest victims, forced to try to solve their own kidnapping from an underground grave in the “Aliens in a Spaceship” episode.

“The Headless Witch in the Woods,” the final Sweeps installment of BONES airing Wednesday, Nov. 29 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), finds Brennan and Booth investigating the remains of a headless body discovered in the DC-area woods. The legend of a woman who lived in the forest and whom many thought to be a witch runs rampant through the case. A videotape found with the bones contains frightening images of what went on the night the mystery person was killed, and the team try to keep their heads about them as more details bring a decidedly creepy pall over the investigation. Meanwhile, Hodgins tries to comfort a terrified Angela in hopes of inching closer to her.
