He's ba-aack!

Well, kind of.

The ghost of Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is returning to Two and a Half Men on tonight's episode...in the body of his brother Alan (Jon Cryer). Yes, the CBS hit show is going meta, with Jon Cryer playing Charlie Sheen playing Charlie Harper and we've got your first look at the crazy shenanigans in a clip from the sure-to-be-crazy episode.

Smoking a cigar, drinking, wearing a striped button down shirt and talking about how cool he is... yep, Charlie Harper is officially back.

It turns out Alan hasn't really dealt with his brother's death yet and kind of (see: completely) loses it when new roomie Walden (Ashton Kutcher) starts redecorating the house. Alan's coping mechanism? Becoming Charlie!

In the clip, Walden tries to confront Alan-Charlie about his condition, but he insists he's fine, saying, "The only reason people are worried about me is 'cause they can't wrap their heads around how cool I am." How very Charlie of a response!
