We are finally going to meet Alex Karev’s (Justin Chambers) mom. Former "The Bionic Woman" star Lindsay Wagner will play the key guest role of Helen Karev in the May 3 episode of ABC’s hit medical drama "Grey’s Anatomy", directed by series co-star Jesse Williams.

So far, we only had gotten a glimpse of Alex’s mom as a younger woman in a flashback during an episode earlier this season that was directed by "Grey’s" star Ellen Pompeo. The part was played by Emily Rutherfurd.




In the logline for the May 3 episode titled “Fight For Your Mind” and written by Andy Reaser, Alex (Chambers) and Jo (Camilla Luddington) go on a trip to Iowa to find Alex’s mom, whom he hasn’t heard from in a very long time.

Meanwhile, Meredith (Pompeo) gives a presentation on her mini-livers project, which attracts a ton of attention, while Jackson (Williams) works to rebuild the foundation after its reputation is threatened.
