The upcoming fourth season of Chuck will feature a guest appearance from wildchild-turned-mellowed out mom Nicole Richie.

Richie will reprise her role as CIA operative Heather Chandler in an episode to air in October, Entertainment Weekly said Wednesday.

The Chandler character will be reintroduced to the series when “a prison transfer goes awry” and she is taken to an underground CIA base. Her arrival is said to cause problems in the relationship between secret agent Chuck (Zachari Levi) and his CIA protector Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski).

Nicole first appeared on Chuck in a critically-hailed performance which aired during the show’s second season in 2008.
