Ellie Bishop is headed home to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving this season on "NCIS" and that means a visit with mother.
"Bionic Woman" star Lindsay Wagner will play the NCIS agent's mom in the Nov. 24 episode, according to TVLine. Bishop has cause to take a trip back to the Sooner State around the holiday.
"I'm super excited about it, because I'm a huge Lindsay Wagner fan going back to 'The Paper Chase,'" showrunner Gary Glasberg told TVLine. "Also, a bunch of our line producers worked on 'The Rockford Files,' and not many people know this but she was actually in that pilot. So there is all kinds of behind-the-scenes enthusiasm. And Lindsay is excited, too."
The Emmy-winning actress joins the CBS show's other famous parents including Robert Wagner (DiNozzo's father) and the late Ralph Waite, who played Gibbs' father.
Wagner starred as the Bionic Woman for three seasons and in three subsequent TV movies. She most recently recurred on "Warehouse 13" and guest starred on an episode of "Alphas."
This season, Bishop's marriage has been on the rocks with her NSA husband Jake (Jamie Bamber). Last season, she and Jake spent their Thanksgiving snowed in at the airport with Tony (Michael Weatherly).
"NCIS" airs on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on CBS.
