(S03E16) This was an episode that was chock full of material and a lot of guest stars. We had Shaw, played by Brandon Routh (proving that death doesn't necessarily stop a returning guest star, kind of like with 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'). We also had Julia Ling return as Anna Wu (read her TV Squad interview here) as well as former time-traveling scientist and cab driver Christopher Lloyd as a C.I.A. psychiatrist.

The episode's problem was that it was a bit of a mish-mosh with the guest stars not getting any appreciable amount of screen time (well, maybe Christopher Lloyd, but certainly not the other two).

On Monday, May 10, 'Chuck' fans will get a pleasant surprise when one of the prettiest Nerd-Herders of all time, Anna Wu, returns to the Burbank Buy More to tie up some loose ends.

When last seen, Anna had taken a leap of faith and moved to Hawaii with Morgan so he could follow his dream of being a Benihana chef. When Morgan returned to California at the beginning of this season, Anna -- alas -- was not with him.

Actress Julia Ling spoke with TV Squad about her guest turn, and what Anna's got on her mind. She even shared her dream for a future film role with her idol. Who is her idol, you wonder? Well, let's just say he's someone who would make her day.

How is Anna returning to 'Chuck'?
Anna is coming back from Hawaii. She's got the whole sexy tan going. She's coming back for Morgan. She has some things to settle with him.
