Could you see Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) as your next president? Tonight’s episode of Bones explores just that. In “The Tiger in the Tale,” the Jeffersonian team explores the topic of animal cruelty and Brennan mulls to running for president.

As Booth (David Boreanaz) points out however, the task may not be as easy as she would like with her father, her past peyote use, and her time on the run. A TV Line video has the executive producers and co-creators Stephen Nathan and Hart Hanson considering what President Brennan would do, and is interspersed with scenes from tonight’s episode. The executive producers jokingly consider what would happen if they themselves were a running team. The pair also worked on Joan of Arcadia together and have certainly worked well together creating a hit show with Bones.

It looks like viewers will see some Booth and Brennan action this episode, with Booth fully supporting her and romantic moments abound.

Although Brennan has become more approachable over these past seven seasons, do you really think she could fully empathize with the public? Would you want Booth or Brennan as president? Are you excited for tonight’s episode? What’s your favorite election themed episode on television?

Don’t forget to catch Bones tonight at 8 PM ET on FOX.
