Bryan Fuller, Scott Bakula, Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, William Shatner and Jeri Ryan attend the 'Star Trek 50' press line during Comic-Con International on July 23, 2016 in San Diego, California.

Jeri Ryan first appeared as Linda Rothman in "Major Crimes" in 2014 in Season 2 episode 19 titled "Return to Sender, Part 2" and returned in 2015 in Season 4 episode 6 titled "Personal Effects." Now, the actress is back to reprise her role as a defense attorney in Season 5 episode 16 titled "Quid Pro Quo."

Written by Michael Zara and directed by Sylvain White, "Quid Pro Quo" will feature a murder case, which will turn upside down. On the stand, Linda will destroy the credibility of Det. Amy Sykes (Kearran Giovanni).

Ryan's character is working with defense investigator Mark Hickman (Jason Gedrick). The latter is the old nemesis of Giovanni's character.

Ryan is set to reprise her role as Veronica Allen in "Bosch" Season 3, which will premiere on April 21. On the big screen, she starred in "Against the Wild 2: Survive the Serengeti" with John Paul Ruttan and Ella Ballentine in 2016.

"Major Crimes" Season 5 episode 16 titled "Quid Pro Quo" will air on March 8, Wednesday, at 9:00 p.m. on TNT.  Joining Ryan and Giovanni in the episode are Mary McDonnel as Sharon Raydor, G.W. Bailey as Louie Provenza, Tony Denison as Andy Flynn, Michael Paul Chan as Mike Tao, Raymond Cruz as Julio Sanchez, Phillip P.
