Per Fox, Wyatt will reappear in the upcoming season’s ninth episode.

Fry, who currently stars in CBS’ The Great Indoors, first showed up as the kindly psychiatrist in Season 2, after Booth shot at an ice-cream truck. He later retired from counseling to indulge his love of cooking. His last appearance took place in Season 5.

A recent press release for the upcoming season teased “the return of fan-favorite guest stars and squinterns;” these include Eddie McClintock, who played Brennan’s ex, Sully, and Betty White, who guest-starred as Dr. Beth Meyer. Ed Asner (The Mary Tyler Moore Show) and Hal Holbrook (Evening Shade) also will show up in Episode 3 as a wise guy and a Marine veteran, respectively.
