Get ready to meet JJ's mom!

Oscar-nominated American Graffiti star Candy Clark has been cast as Sandy Jareau, the mother of JJ (A.J. Cook), on "Criminal Minds", TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

Clark will appear in the Season 7 finale, which will find JJ's family facing a lot of drama.



The two-hour episode involves a hostage situation at a federal bank, during which one of the BAU members becomes a hostage.

The episode will also be the last for Prentiss (Paget Brewster) and will feature "Battlestar Galactica's" Tricia Helfer.

Oh, and there will be a wedding too. Could Sandy be there to watch JJ tie the knot with Will (Josh Stewart)?
