Lizzie first arrives in the closing moments of the Dec. 6 hour, titled "Love Turns You Upside Down," when Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) asks intern Heather (Tina Majorino) to go above and beyond to help fix her husband's hand. Campbell will return the following week for the episode titled "Run Baby Run."
Details about the nature of the Shepard siblings' relationship are being kept under wraps, but Lizzie -- who appears to be married judging by the ring on her finger in the image above -- will return Dec. 13 for the "Run Baby Run" hour.
