Hey there! Let me share some exciting news with you. The legendary Lindsay Wagner, best known as the iconic Bionic Woman, is stepping into the world of Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. That’s right—on Thursday, May 3, this talented actress will make her debut on Grey’s Anatomy as Helen Karev, the mother of fan-favorite character Alex Karev, portrayed by Justin Chambers.

Why This Episode Is a Must-Watch

Here’s the scoop: This episode, titled “Fight For Your Mind,” is directed by none other than Jesse Williams, who plays Jackson Avery on the show. It’s packed with drama and intriguing storylines. Alex and Jo (played by Camilla Luddington) embark on a heartfelt journey to Iowa in search of Alex’s long-lost mom, someone he hasn’t heard from in years. Meanwhile, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) wows everyone with her groundbreaking mini-livers project, and Jackson works tirelessly to restore the foundation's reputation after it faces a serious threat. While the official synopsis doesn’t dwell too much on Lindsay’s role, her appearance is undoubtedly one of the episode’s biggest highlights.

Bringing Alex Karev’s Past to Life

Until now, Grey’s Anatomy fans have only caught glimpses of Alex Karev’s mom during her younger years. Earlier this season, in an episode directed by Ellen Pompeo, Emily Rutherfurd briefly portrayed Alex’s mother in a flashback. But with Lindsay Wagner stepping into the role, viewers are about to get a much deeper look into Alex’s background and family dynamics. Her character could provide crucial insights into the challenges and experiences that shaped Alex into the doctor we all know and love. However, it seems this May 3 appearance might be Lindsay’s only one for the season.
