Zooey and Emily Deschanel give Bones fans an early Christmas present. Zooey Deschanel, star of the romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer and sister of Bones' Emily Deschanel, will guest-star in "The Goop on the Girl," a special holiday-themed episode of Bones airing Thursday, Dec. 10 (8-9 pm ET/PT) on Fox.
The show will be the first-ever on-screen pairing of the Deschanel sisters. Zooey plays Margaret Whitesell, a distant relative of Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily). When Brennan's father, Max Keenan (guest star Ryan O'Neal), contacts Margaret, he invites her to spend Christmas with him and his daughter.
And to further celebrate the holidays, Brennan and Booth (David Boreanaz) try investigate the death of a man, dressed as Santa Claus, who was blown up after a botched bank robbery.
