NGTV Guide: Thursday, April 1

Thursday night TV is back with a vengeance! Bones returns on FOX, the CW is all new, and The Mentalist returns on CBS.

Bones – FOX 8/7c
“The Bones On A Blue Line” – When a subway train is thrown off the track by 60,000 galloons of flood water, a partially skeletonized body emerges out of the overflow. While Dr. Sweets, a passenger on the derailed train, copes with post traumatic stress, the rest of the team and intern Daisy Wick (guest star Gallo) get to work on identifying the victim as Martin Aragon, a professional ghost writer caught up in a deadly love triangle. Meanwhile, Brennan releases her second book to great success, but has to accommodate a nosy reporter, and Sweets’ near-death experience leads him to make a drastic decision.

The Vampire Diaries – the CW 8/7c
“There Goes The Neighborhood” – Anna (Malese Jow) brings a surprising guest along when she pays a visit to Damon (Ian Somerhalder). Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) go on an awkward double date with Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig), but Stefan and Matt find they have some common ground. Jenna (Sara Canning) reunites with her old friend Kelly (guest star Melinda Clarke), and Jeremy’s (Steven R. McQueen) relationship with Anna takes an unexpected direction.

Supernatural – the CW 9/8c
“Dark Side of the Moon” – Ambushed by angry hunters, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) are shot and killed and sent to Heaven. Castiel (Misha Collins) warns Dean that Zachariah (guest star Kurt Fuller) is looking for them in Heaven so they need to lay low while searching for an angel named Joshua (guest star Roger Aaron Brown) who can help them since he talks directly to God. While searching for Joshua, the brothers run into some old friends and family members.

The Mentalist – CBS 10/9c
