Look out, Brooke: Your monster-in-law is coming to town—and she wants to plan your wedding!

NYPD Blue‘s Sharon Lawrence is headed to One Tree Hill for multiple episodes as Julian’s (Austin Nichols) never-before-seen mother, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Although Lawrence’s character does in fact come to town to help with the wedding preparations, there’s no hard evidence to suggest she’s a monster. I mean, she probably is. I just don’t have any proof.

Lawrence—who snagged an Emmy nod in ’09 for playing Izzie’s white trash mama on Grey’s Anatomy—first appears in episode 6, which is slated to air at the end of October.

One Tree Hill‘s eighth season kicks off Sept. 14.
