Wow, tonight is packed with goodies! Here’s what the Nice Girls are watching this evening, including a DOUBLE shot of Bones. Yay!

Bones – Fox 8/7c – NEW NIGHT
“Double Trouble in the Panhandle” – Booth and Brennan investigate the remains of conjoined twins found in a shallow grave in a remote desert area on the Texas-Oklahoma border. Back at the lab, the team determines the skeletal remains to be those of Jenny and Julie, who were jugglers in a traveling circus. Knowing there is no way the circus folk will talk to anyone outside their tight-knit clan, Brennan and Booth must infiltrate the circus community in order to find out more information about the twins’ deaths. Honing Booth’s Ranger knife-throwing skills, the duo goes undercover as knife-throwing act “Buck and Wanda Moosejaw.” As they encounter a variety of suspects among the colorful circus crowd, including ringmaster Henry Simon (guest star Andy Richter), a rather raucous clan of clowns and a tempestuous strong man who may have been romantically involved with one of the twins, Booth and Brennan find the circus experience to be quite the spectacle.

Ugly Betty – ABC 8/7c
“Kissed Off” – Betty contemplates making a personal decision to help her family and finances. But things keep sidetracking her – like the fact that sexy neighbor Jesse (guest star Val Emmich) is suddenly interested in her again.

Bones – Fox 9/8c – NEW NIGHT

Supernatural – the CW 9/8c
“Criss Angel is a Douche Bag” – A mysterious death draws Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) to a town full of old-school magicians. Their investigation leads them to Charlie (guest star John Rubenstein), Jay (guest star Barry Bostwick) and Vernon (guest star Richard Libertini), three friends who were famous magicians in their day but have now been replaced by flashier, younger magicians. One of them has made a deal to acquire real magical powers, but the price was extremely high. Sam and Dean must figure out a way to reverse the spell before others are harmed.

The Beast – A&E 10/9c
“Two Choices” – Barker and Ellis are assigned to take down a major drug trafficking ring run by a man named Jimmy Casserly–who happens to be in the Chicago Police Department’s (CPD) custody. Barker fears that if Casserly stays in CPD custody, his drug deal won’t go through and they won’t have enough evidence to lock him up for good. The partners come up with a risky scheme to bust Casserly out of CPD custody and all is going well until a major wrench is thrown in the gears–an ex cop with a personal vendetta is also chasing Casserly. Meanwhile, Ellis continues to burn the candle at both ends. He runs into Rose and she questions what he does for a living, and Ray from Internal Affairs tries to convince him that Barker is crooked by giving him a DVD with supposed evidence against his mentor.
