Katie Holmes is set to guest star on ABC's "Eli Stone," and from the looks of the pics, the episode is sure to be interesting.

In these new photos obtained by ET, Katie's "Stone" character is a study in contrasts -- in one scene she is pictured dancing in what appears to be a sultry cabaret-esque number, while, in the other snaps, she more closely resembles what we'd expect of her character -- an attorney.

So why did the film star return to the tube? "Eli Stone" creator and executive producer Greg Berlanti had worked with Katie on "Dawson's Creek" and invited her. The show returns Thursday October 14 at 10 p.m. on ABC, and we're told that Katie's episode will air on October 21.
