TV Guide Magazine: In the Sept. 23 episode, you revisit your popular undercover personas Tony and Roxy. The fans love them. But it's been a while!
Boreanaz: Emily and I were looking back at old episodes. We did Tony and Roxy for the first time some six years ago —
Deschanel: Seven.
Boreanaz: I looked back to get a sense of Tony again. He's evolved a bit and has more spice!
Deschanel: I feel like a New Jersey housewife or a young Mrs. Roper [from Three's Company]. And although no one knows, I even wear a bright bra underneath my shirt.
Boreanaz: Tony knows!
Deschanel: The first time we did Tony and Roxy, in Season 2, our characters went back and forth because Brennan didn't want them to be married, so Booth suggested Tony and Roxy be at least engaged. Even portraying a fake character being married scared her back then.
TV Guide Magazine: And now it looks as though Booth and Brennan will finally tie the knot this fall. But first they have to deal with why Booth backed out of the engagement in last season's cliffhanger, right?
Deschanel: There will be some progress by the second episode, but they're still not in a great place, and she doesn't know why he did what he did — which is why the writers chose to put them in a couples retreat, so they can address some of their issues. She's still hurting.
Boreanaz: The exercises the two of them do at this retreat — a sweat lodge, an obstacle course — bring them a little bit closer to realizing how deeply rooted they are as a couple.
