Looks like one TV couple is booking a trip to Splitsville for the holidays.

Julia Stiles is the latest big name ready to visit The Mindy Project, and she's making a move on one of its taken men: Morgan (Ike Barinholtz)!

We've got your exclusive first look at the Save the Last Dance and Dexter alum's upcoming guest appearance on the Fox sitcom, which finds her playing an old friend of Danny (Chris Messina) who happens to have a hoarding problem. Hey, no one's perfect.

Set to make her debut in the annual Christmas episode, airing on Dec. 9, Stiles' Jessica will be a new love interest for Morgan, who just so happens to be dating fellow nurse, Tamra (Xosha Roquemore). At least for now!

But it seems like Jessica may or may not know who Morgan actually is as he lands a date with her through a case of mistaken identity.

And fans of the show will be happy to see that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney is back in action as Morgan's sketchy-but-hilarious cousin in the same episode.

Stiles isn't the only guest star fans can look forward to meeting on Mindy soon: We exclusively reported that Lee Pace is set to drop by as Alex, a handsome San Francisco tech millionaire who took Mindy's virginity back when he was a dorky college student. Best. Casting. Ever.

The Mindy Project airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on Fox.
