One of the more notable Bones couples broke up during last night's episode, but is there any hope of reconciliation?

Will the 'Bones' - 'Sleepy Hollow' Crossover Lead to a Death in the FBI?

Cam (Tamara Taylor) decided to split from Arastoo (Pej Vahdat) in Thursday night's episode of Bones after realizing that she will only grow to resent him if they move away together.

This was one of many decisions new Bones showrunners Michael Peterson and Jonathan Collier put into action as part of their mission to "shaking things up" on the series. Peterson spoke with TVLine about the Cam and Arastoo break up and whether there was hope for the couple.

Is 'Bones' Star David Boreanaz Ready To Move On From The Show?

"There's always hope. Coming in here, for Jon and myself, we wanted to make sure that nobody is safe. We're going to shake things up. It's wonderful to be on a show for the 11th season, but we want to make sure we play with everybody's expectations and you keep watching every week because who knows what's going to happen?" Peterson noted. "But again, we want to keep it character-focused. By doing the jump in timeline, it was just an organic way to play with the expectations of Cam and Arastoo's relationship.

"Certainly, for a while, Arastoo is gone. He is off looking at other opportunities. But he will also be somebody who's coming back in the 10th episode and starting up a new, major storyline. In the meantime, we're going to see what happens. They are broken up at this point. They are looking for other options."

Cam will also field a few love interests in the weeks to come.

"Oh, you gotta hope so! She's a beautiful, brilliant woman! Why wouldn't there be? Yes, absolutely," Peterson said, of possible love interests for Cam. "We'll be having love interests for many different people this year."

Bones airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
