Mega Buzz: Bones' Crisis of Faith, a Grey's Betrayal and a Castle Death?

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to megascoop@tvguide.com or tweet them to @adambryant or @NatalieAbrams. I'll take any Bones scoop you have! — Ben ADAM: Although man-of-faith Booth seeks out his former priest Aldo for guidance about how to proceed with Brennan after his lie about the engagement, it's what the padre tells Brennan that ends up making all the difference in repairing that relationship. And even though Aldo's religious beliefs are now more in line with those of woman-of-science Brennan, look for Bones to take a leap of faith. And speaking of Booth's old friends: Freddie Prinze Jr.'s CIA agent doesn't get much to do in the premiere, but he does make Booth an enticing offer that he'll likely wrestle with all season long.

Did you get any Calzona scoop when you were on the Grey's Anatomy set? — Janna
NATALIE:
Callie will find comfort in what longtime fans would consider surprising places as she turns to fellow board members Meredith and Cristina. "They have more things in common than they used to, specifically Meredith and Callie, now they're both mothers, so on that level, Meredith feels for Callie and what she's going through," Sara Ramirez says. "There is a moment where Callie confides in Meredith early on. Cristina and Meredith are two people that Callie is close to during this and interestingly enough, feels betrayed by one of them at one point." Ruh-roh.

I know you've seen the Castle premiere, so spill! — Hannah
ADAM:
The season tends to some necessary housekeeping regarding Beckett's two decisions right out of the gate, but after that the show wastes no time ratcheting up the action. In fact, before the premiere is over, one major character gets shot and another is in mortal peril. Although one of those scenarios is a fake-out, the other is alarmingly real.

Any scoop on Stefan and Elena on Vampire Diaries? I'm still holding out hope for them! — Kendrick
NATALIE: I guess it's a good thing that my colleague Robyn Ross was on set this week to ask Nina Dobrev that question! She says that Elena's connection to Stefan will clue her in to the fact that something is not right with him (aka he's drowning at the bottom of the river.) "She has this weird feeling something is going on. It's this cosmic connection you have with someone that you've spent so much time with and I don't know if that will go away," Dobrev says. "She knows she's in love with Damon, but she still cares for Stefan and wants to make sure he's OK ... and when she finds out what he's been through, it's not easy for her."

How will Hank return on Parenthood? — Karen
ADAM
: It's still unclear what turns Hank and Sarah's relationship will take this upcoming season, but look for Hank to bond with Max and encourage the young Braverman's growing interest in photography. Unfortunately, Max gets a bit overzealous taking pictures for the school yearbook, which may land him, and subsequently Adam and Kristina, in hot water with the principal.

Anything you can reveal about Once Upon a Timewith the premiere getting closer each day? — Steph, via Twitter
NATALIE: Emma will take a surprising leadership role when the ragtag group of friends and foes heads to Neverland. "She's surrounded by people who have been at each other's throats for different reasons and are continuing to be," Jennifer Morrison says. "But we are not going to be able to save Henry unless we all come together, so she has to be the voice of reason to overcome those differences. It's going to leave room for new alliances that we don't expect and also new conflicts."
Any scoop on the new season of Chicago Fire? — Jeremy
ADAM:
Get ready to meet a new woman in Severide's life! And no, we're not talking about a new love interest. Instead, Severide suspects this woman, a 19-year-old named Katie, is his father's mistress. So he'll certainly be surprised when he learns that Katie is actually ... Benny's daughter and Severide's sister!

Do you have any scoop on Parks and Recreation? —Lance
NATALIE:
Before Rashida Jones leaves Parks, Ann will be pregnant. "Yes. I'm definitely going to grow on the show," Jones tells me, noting that with Diane also pregnant, it may be a "race to the pregnancy finish line." More good news? Jones says that there's a good chance that she'll return to the NBC comedy after her mid-season exit. "Ann is not going to be far and Rashida's not going to be far," she says. "Ann loves Leslie too much and Rashida loves Parks and Amy too much."

What can you tell me about Adam Pally's character on The Mindy Project?Kris
ADAM:
Pally's character, Peter, will quickly make himself a part of the team at Mindy's practice — maybe a little too quickly. When Jeremy's boisterous father, Alfred, comes to visit, he and Peter hit it off — so much so that Alfred invites Peter to dinner, much to Jeremy's chagrin. But while Alfred and Peter click, Alfred spends most of his time criticizing Jeremy. Let's just say that Jeremy might consider a trip to the gym after this visit.
What can you tell us about Sherlock's reunion with his brother Mycroft on Elementary? — Derek
NATALIE:
It won't be pleasant, especially when Joan and Mycroft (Rhys Ifans) decide to exchange notes on Sherlock. "Sherlock is expecting to go to London and never even mention to his brother that he's there," executive producer Rob Doherty says. "Sherlock has to confess to Joan that he has a brother. It's news to her. We find out there's some bad blood between the Holmes boys and they have not spoken in several years."

Got any teases about the new season of Boardwalk Empire? — Kyle
ADAM:
Don't expect another Gyp Rosetti to challenge Nucky. In fact, Nucky's new rival, Jeffrey Wright's Dr. Valentin Narcisse, is much more intellectual and patient than the hot-headed Gyp. (Narcisse, however, will prove to be just as deadly.) But perhaps the real threat to Nucky is Warren Knox (Brian Geraghty), a rookie agent at the newly formed Bureau of Investigation who's trying to make his name by linking Nucky to other gangsters across the country. He'll do so by turning one of Nucky's closest allies against him — with disastrous, heartbreaking results.
I'm still rooting for Oliver and Laurel onArrow. — Kim  
NATALIE:
Eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted the duo kissing in the Comic-Con trailer, which executive producer Marc Guggenheim reveals will happen at Tommy's grave site. (Ouch!) "They are in love with each other and they will probably always be in love with each other and that has to influence every moment that these two characters share for the life of the series," he says. Still, there is good news for Olicity fans: "The relationship between Oliver and Felicity over the course of Season 2 will evolve and deepen," he hints.  
Natalie's Mega Rave: If you're not watching American Ninja Warrior, you're missing out on one of the most high-flying, exciting and surprisingly heartwarming competitions on TV right now. It's a shame that Flip Rodriguez went out this week, but Brent Steffensen could legit become the first American Ninja Warrior. It's history in the making!

Adam's Mini Rant: I'm dumbfounded by the decision to have Randy Jackson replace (actually useful) Jimmy Iovine as American Idol's in-house mentor. Is he Fox's Jay Leno?
