Betty White guest stars in the next episode of Fox's Bones as an anthropologist with a surprising background in fantasy football.

Brennan & Booth's 'Fire' On 'Bones' Will Be Brought Back Through Season 11

The next episode of Bones is titled The Carpals in the Coy-Wolves and features a fun guest appearance by White. Brennan (Emily Deschanel) will bring in White's character, Dr. Beth Mayer to help solve the latest murder and lends her expertise in very interesting ways.

Fox has released a plot synopsis for the episode and it reads as follows:

What's Next For Cam & Arastoo On 'Bones'?

"When remains of real estate agent Justin Ross are discovered in a forest and appear to have been destroyed by coyote-wolf hybrids, Brennan enlists the help of fellow brilliant forensic anthropologist Dr. Beth Mayer (White) to assist in the investigation. In addition to her professional achievements, Mayer is surprisingly knowledgeable about the world of fantasy football, a key link to Ross' past and one that could provide vital information in finding his killer."

Booth (David Boreanaz) and Aubrey (John Boyd) investigate the fantasy football thread and find that Ross was engaged in a Twitter feud with NFL star Lou Divers, who will be played by Ronde Barber. Ross "was also owed a large sum of money from the league's commissioner, making each of them suspects."

Brennan will begin feeling "competitive" as Mayer "impresses the team with her expertise and decades of accomplishments."
