Zooey & Emily Deschanel Will Share The Screen on 'Bones'

Actress and She & Him singer Zooey Deschanel will join her sister, Emily, on a Bones episode airing December 10. It’s the first time the Deschanel girls have been seen on screen together!

Emily, 33, who plays Dr. Temperance Brennan on the Fox drama, will be joined by little sis Zooey, 29, in “The Goop on the Girl” episode. Zooey will be playing Margaret Whitesell, a distant relative of Temperance’s.

“When Brennan’s father, Max Keenan (guest star Ryan O’Neal), makes contact with Margaret, he invites her to spend Christmas with him and his daughter,” Entertainment Tonight reports.

The episode will also include a plot where Temperance and Booth (played by David Boreanz) solve the mystery of a Santa Claus suited-man who was blown up after a failed bank robbery attempt.

Catch Zooey and Emily on December 10 (Thursday) @8PM ET/PT on FOX!
