TVLine has learned exclusively that Devious Maids‘ Brianna Brown will guest-star in an early 2014 episode of the CBS drama as Krystal Markham, a woman connected to a case that the FBI is working on.

The fun comes when, to both Lisbon and Agent Fischer’s surprise, Jane asks Krystal out on a date – the first one the widower has initiated in years.
