In the photo, the character's ex-wife Rebecca (Jeri Ryan) is seen sitting next to an unidentified man with Gibbs (Mark Harmon) across from them. The three of them appear engaged in a serious conversation. (See the photo here.)

The episode, titled "Check," will focus on the team's attempt to find out who is mimicking old cases of theirs.

"After 12 seasons there was still one ex-wife to cast opposite Gibbs and we found her in the beautiful and talented Jeri Ryan," executive producer Gary Glasberg said in a statement last month. "We're all very excited to have Jeri join us for a storyline that's chock full of surprises."

The Helix actress also dyed her hair from blond to red in order to play the mysterious character.

Ryan will make her NCIS debut on Tuesday, Jan. 6 (at 8 p.m. ET) and cast member Emily Wickersham revealed it will be a special episode. 

"The fans are in store for some goodies," Wickersham, who plays Ellie Bishop, told TVLine.com about the episode. "We just finished shooting that episode, and it's a big deal for the team. And it'll be the same for the fans, a huge deal. It'll be an exciting one, for sure."
