It looks like Zooey Deschanel is getting another nemesis as Valentine's Day actress Jessica Biel goes back to the small screen with a guest spot on the fourth season of New Girl.
The 7th Heaven alum, 32, will star in the show's season premiere, where she'll be getting in the way of Jess' (Deschanel) mission to score a cute guy at a wedding.
Her role, Kat, is described as "the hottest scientist in the world."
The episode will air on September 16, and will see Jess and the gang betting each other at a wedding to see who can get lucky. Jess and Kat will go head-to-head when they go for the same man.
Biel hasn't been seen on the small screen since her 10-year stint with the highly popular 7th Heaven as Mary Camden, and since she left the family-oriented drama in 2006, the recent Mrs. Timberlake has went on to the big screen with roles in 2006's The Illusionist, 2011's New Year's Eve and 2012's Total Recall and Hitchcock.
Meanwhile, the new season of New Girl sees another addition to the expanding cast-Damon Wayans Jr. is a regular this season. (Wayans Jr. went on to film the show's pilot but couldn't commit to the show because he had signed on to another comedy, Happy Endings).
And whether the newly single Jess reunites with her roommate and ex, Nick (played by Jake Johnson) remains to be seen. Creator Liz Meriweather told reporters that there might still be hope for the two.
"I love them together and I don't think it's it for them at all," she said. "I've never been in a good relationship... I just found that it's been easier for me to write them as single idiots out in the world trying to get laid and looking for love. I had trouble figuring out where the conflict and comedy was coming from with them last season. Admittedly, it's definitely fun to keep them apart for more."
