In an apparent attempt to boost the launch of Bones spin-off The Finder, FOX has made some schedule changes. First off, Bones episode 6, “The Crack in the Code” will be replaced on December 15th by The Finder pilot which originally aired as part of Bones season 6. Then, on January 12, Bones will return with its midseason finale at 8pm followed by the premiere of The Finder at 9pm, just before going on hiatus.

Stephen Nathan and Hart Hanson thank you for believing they actually have the power to influence the FOX scheduling of Bones. They do not.
