** Alternatively, NCIS is an alternate universe in which Booth and his younger brother are never born, which is why you don't see them in NCIS. In Bones, Gibbs doesn't turn to boats after Shannon and Kelly, and he never met Franks, he just drinks a lot and later has the two Booth kids. The only problem is the last name.

In "The Secret in the Service", the team encounters the Secret Service, who are preparing for the President's visit on a fundraising stop. This means that the President has to be just finishing his first term, meaning that a) he's not BarackObama, and b) he beat whoever was holding the office from 2009-2012. Confirmed when the President is shown to be a white guy named Randall.

[[WMG: Bones doesn’t actually share a continuity with Series/SleepyHollow.]]
“The Resurrection in the Remains” showed a crossover with Series/SleepyHollow and “Dead Men Tell No Tails” (of that show) returned the favour, which would seem pretty clear cut to show that Bones and Series/SleepyHollow now share a universe.
This has several implications for Bones fans because it implies that a universe mostly established as being set in the natural world (with just a little MaybeMagicMaybeMundane now and then) is actually set in a very supernatural world and just not aware of it.
However, there does exist an alternative that Bones didn’t really crossover with the real Series/SleepyHollow at all. Instead, the possibility exists that Bones crossed over with an alternate continuity of Series/SleepyHollow while Series/SleepyHollow then crossed over with an alternate continuity of Bones.
“The Resurrection of the Remains” avoided showing any explicit supernatural elements but did show some things which would seem to imply that the supernatural had to exist (even if Bones didn’t accept it). Firstly, there’s the letter that was somehow written in Ichabod’s handwriting 200 years ago. Second, the episode ended with Ichabod talking about how he’d known Benjamin Franklin
The alternative explanation to how this happened is that Bones merely crossed over with an alternate version of Sleepy Hollow without the supernatural elements in which Ichabod Crane (not his real name) was in fact a con man who was pretending to be a man who’d lived 200 years earlier. He’d adopted this man’s name and identity after reading everything he could about him. Knowing people might do a handwriting comparison between the two, he taught himself how to forge the man’s handwriting and now exclusively writes in that man’s style.
That explains why Angela was able to match their handwriting and why Ichabod claimed to know Franklin. It was all part of the con.
Meanwhile Ichabod Prime (as I shall now call him to distinguish him from Ichabod Alternate who is the fraud) along with Abbie Prime met with Brennan and Booth Alternate (who were basically the same as Brennan and Booth Prime except living in a supernatural world) and together they shared a continuity.

It would be expected if Booth or Hodgins did it. Everyone would ''expect'' Brennen to be fully rational and not want to endanger herself by killing Pelant. Even Pelant will expect this.

[[WMG: Pelant's clock bomb in the bedroom WILL hurt or kill someone.]]
Stephan Nathan confirmed that bomb is going to go off in season 9. It's just a matter of who's nearby when it does. Nearly everyone has sufficient PlotArmor to survive being blown up, but each possible victim would create tons of drama.
Max: Pelant surely knows Brennan's father is probably even more dangerous than Booth. Booth MIGHT possibly arrest him, allowing him to magically escape with his computer voodoo. Max has already gotten away with murdering a dude for daring to come after his little girl, and would surely do it again. He's an undesirable variable in Pelant's chess game with the Squints and surely would have to be removed for Pelant's endgame to kick into gear. Blowing up Max might also be the catalyst Bones needs to gather her rage and put a bullet in Pelant's head.
Zack: Doing this would be basically asking for another InternetBackdraft, but bringing Zack BackForTheDead would allow the writers to kill off someone "disposable" (since he's no longer on the main cast), yet still high-value (due to being a fan favorite and beloved by the team), for the sake of taking the melodrama up a notch.
Angela: She could be babysitting Christine when the bomb goes off. The chances of her dying are almost zero, but her injury would send Hodgins into a rage and quite possibly bring Billy Gibbons back out of the woodwork. Lord only knows what sort of horrible fate the two men would impart upon Pelant. But it would likely end up being offscreen (like the two times Billy got his son-in-law hammered to slap tattoos on his shoulders), and would be so epic and terrible that [[NoodleIncident only the beginning and aftermath could be adequately displayed]].
Bones: Brennan would survive, being the TitleCharacter, but her being critically injured yet again would set Booth on an absolute warpath. Everyone between him and Pelant would either get their ass kicked or suffer terminal lead poisoning. He might even resign from the FBI so he can hunt Pelant down on his own terms. And either he'll drag Pelant's ass into the FBI headquarters, a boy scout to the end, or Pelant will hammer that BerserkButton one too many times and get a clip emptied into his chest.
Booth: If anything could finally shatter Brennan's shell of hyper-rationality, it would be Booth getting blown up. If the writers plan to have Bones be the one to put Pelant down, it'll likely be Booth who eats the bomb.
* OP here. With [[spoiler:Pelant FINALLY in the ground]], this WMG has been jossed. The bomb may still go off, but [[spoiler:Pelant's not around for the gang to kill anymore]].

[[WMG: Pelant's clock bomb in the bedroom WILL hurt or kill someone.]]
Stephan Nathan confirmed that bomb is going to go off in season 9. It's just a matter of who's nearby when it does. Nearly everyone has sufficient PlotArmor to survive being blown up, but each possible victim would create tons of drama.
Max: Pelant surely knows Brennan's father is probably even more dangerous than Booth. Booth MIGHT possibly arrest him, allowing him to magically escape with his computer voodoo. Max has already gotten away with murdering a dude for daring to come after his little girl, and would surely do it again. He's an undesirable variable in Pelant's chess game with the Squints and surely would have to be removed for Pelant's endgame to kick into gear. Blowing up Max might also be the catalyst Bones needs to gather her rage and put a bullet in Pelant's head.
Zack: Doing this would be basically asking for another InternetBackdraft, but bringing Zack BackForTheDead would allow the writers to kill off someone "disposable" (since he's no longer on the main cast), yet still high-value (due to being a fan favorite and beloved by the team), for the sake of taking the melodrama up a notch.
Angela: She could be babysitting Christine when the bomb goes off. The chances of her dying are almost zero, but her injury would send Hodgins into a rage and quite possibly bring Billy Gibbons back out of the woodwork. Lord only knows what sort of horrible fate the two men would impart upon Pelant. But it would likely end up being offscreen (like the two times Billy got his son-in-law hammered to slap tattoos on his shoulders), and would be so epic and terrible that [[NoodleIncident only the beginning and aftermath could be adequately displayed]].
Bones: Brennan would survive, being the TitleCharacter, but her being critically injured yet again would set Booth on an absolute warpath. Everyone between him and Pelant would either get their ass kicked or suffer terminal lead poisoning. He might even resign from the FBI so he can hunt Pelant down on his own terms. And either he'll drag Pelant's ass into the FBI headquarters, a boy scout to the end, or Pelant will hammer that BerserkButton one too many times and get a clip emptied into his chest.
Booth: If anything could finally shatter Brennan's shell of hyper-rationality, it would be Booth getting blown up. If the writers plan to have Bones be the one to put Pelant down, it'll likely be Booth who eats the bomb.

[[WMG: ''Bones'' will kill Pelant in Season 9.]]
It would be expected if Booth or Hodgins did it. Everyone would ''expect'' Brennen to be fully rational and not want to endanger herself by killing Pelant. Even Pelant will expect this. What will ''happen'' is that she finds out that Pelant made Booth turn her down. Pelant will try to HannibalLecture her that she can't logically justify revenge, which early!Bones couldn't. He'll find out, to his regret, that she's not the same person anymore. No jury in the world would contest a claim of self-defense against a monster SerialKiller. The {{nakama}} will wonder if she's alright, and she will be.

* His line about how Bones "doesn't normally talk to herself" was especially telling to me. She doesn't talk to herself... because she normally visualizes him and does it that way.
* Additionally, this episode explicitly shows Bones interpreting reality differently this episode (seeing the victim as looking identical to her). Granted it's not on the same scale as visualizing a dude, but it does create precedence that she's not exactly reliable.
