Palminteri, who plays Frank, the father of Jane (Angie Harmon), will return for the first time since the Season 1 finale with some news that upsets the family. Begley Jr.'s Dr. Pike will be back to lend Maura (Sasha Alexander) a hand, while Vance will reprise his role as Lt. Col. Casey Jones, Jane's old flame.
