How much (average) time elapses in a Bones episode? [closed]

I would say unless it's a multi-part episode 2-3 days is a good guess. TV by its existence requires most things to move much faster than they do in real life, and that definitely applies to any sort of crime solving. Some of the science they do (I have a masters in molecular biology) just can't be done in the time frame of a normal tv show, you can't have multiple weeks pass while waiting for one test when it's the key test to advance the plot.

Unless it's a show like a murder in the first or murder one that focused on one (or a few) ideas for the entirety of a season, the episodic nature of shows makes them tend to take a whole lot less time than they would in the 'real' world
