"Timeless‘" Abigail Spencer has landed a multi-episode arc on "Grey’s Anatomy" as — twist! — Owen’s presumed-dead sister Megan Hunt, a character previously portrayed by Bridget Regan. According to sources, Regan’s full-time duties on TNT’s "The Last Ship" prevented her from reclaiming the gig.

With "Timeless‘" surprise second season not going into production until January, Spencer was available to take on the recurring gig.
