In Season 7, Episode 2 "The Hot Dog in the Competition", Brennan and Booth found out they were having a baby girl. Their daughter, Christine Angela Booth (named for Brennan's mother and best friend Angela), was born in a stable during the episode "The Prisoner in the Pipe".

Bones, a popular procedural drama, ended after season 12 due to cancellation by Fox. Despite declining ratings, the show maintained a loyal following. Clashes between the show's creative team and Fox, including lawsuits over compensation and tensions over the time slot, may have contributed to its ending.

Bones, with help from Booth, takes care of the baby until the team finds out who killed the mother. Brennan's father Max Keenan is on trial for the alleged murder of FBI Deputy Director Kirby.

The Season 12 premiere of Bones reveals that Addy has taken Brennan to the old vault of the Gormogon, which is in the basement of the Jeffersonian, with the intention of protecting her from The Puppeteer and to reveal the truth about himself. Booth captures him, and he is taken into custody.
