Grayson “Birimbau” Barasa, aka Angela’s husband, finally surfaces. He doesn’t want to sign the divorce papers, claiming that he still loves Angela. She told him that she now loves Hodgins but Birimbau doesn’t want to listen. He reminds her of the night they met and how they both felt in the hope that Angela’s love for him comes back. Later, Hodgins meets with Birimbau at a diner to have him sign the papers. Birimbau tells Hodgins that he has been looking for Angela for the past four years and that he even built her a house in Florida so there is no way he will let her go without a fight. Angela and Sweets meet Hodgins and Birimbau outside of the diner. Hodgins and Birimbau start to fight and Sweets joins in on the action before Angela walks off. One of the London folks Brennan and Booth interact with is Inspector Cate Pritchard. Source: SpoilerFix.com

Cast and producers from Bones have crossed the pond to shoot in London this month, the first time the series has shot at an international location or outside Southern California. Partners Dr. Temperance Brennan and Special Agent Seeley Booth make the trip from Washington, DC, to Scotland Yard as television’s most addictive and amusing procedural shoots scenes for a special two-hour premiere event airing Wednesday, Sept. 3 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Principal photography begins on Saturday, June 14. Shooting at various locations in and around London, including the Thames River and Oxford University, Bones production will be in the U.K. for several weeks to complete scenes for the show’s Season Four two-part premiere episode, “Yanks in the U.K. ” Additional locations include shooting near the historic Tower Bridge, the stately Lambeth Palace, official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as throughout the streets of the city. “We are immensely pleased to be shooting our Season Four opener in England and are eager to work with the excellent cast and crew available in the U.K. Bones has never shot much more than a few miles outside of Los Angeles before, so we may as well start small by leaving the continent,” said creator and executive producer Hart Hanson. The premiere episode finds Brennan guest-lecturing at Oxford University and Booth speaking at Scotland Yard when they are asked by local officials to lend their expertise to a high-profile murder investigation involving a young British heiress.

Bones creator Hart Hanson has revealed how the hit forensic show’s season four premiere came to film in London.

Speaking at a press conference last week, Hanson explained that network Fox was looking to air two-hour season premiere specials for shows in its Autumn line-up.

He said: “We worked out a story that seemed to work only in England. Once the network saw the outline they got on board. I’m shocked because the exchange rate is brutal here for us!”

The premiere, which has filmed in locations at Wrotham Park, Greenwich, Canary Wharf and the Guildhall, will see Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) attempt to solve the murder of an American girl.

Hanson explained: “It has a slight Upstairs, Downstairs aspect to it, with servants and royalty and the class system. An heiress with an American father is yanked from the Thames in her Range Rover.

“Brennan and Booth are here lecturing. Booth is lecturing at Scotland Yard and Brennan is lecturing at Oxford about working with cops. The murder happens… the FBI would have jurisdiction over it if Scotland Yard invited them.” Source: Digital Spy
