"Elementary has cast Franklin &amp;amp; Bash actress Freda Foh Shen as Watson&amp;#039;s mother. The mother of Joan Watson (Lucy Liu) was previously referenced in the show&amp;#039;s pilot episode, when Sherlock (Jonny Lee Miller) learned that she had taken Joan&amp;#039;s father back after an affair.  &amp;quot;Mom will meet Sherlock,&amp;quot; exec producer Rob Doherty told TVLine. &amp;quot;Given what we know about mom - or heard about mom - and given what we know for sure about Sherlock, you can see it going a certain way. I feel like we&amp;#039;re going to tell a story with a few lovely, little surprises.&amp;quot; Watson&amp;#039;s mother will appear in the CBS drama&amp;#039;s ninth episode, currently scheduled to air on December 13 in the US. Foh Shen has previously played recurring roles on ABC medical series Gideon&amp;#039;s Crossing, family drama Everwood and CBS crime procedural Close to Home, with guest stints on the likes of 24, Desperate Housewives and Boston Legal. Other upcoming guest stars on Elementary include former House star Lisa Edelstein and The West Wing actor Roger Rees. The series airs on Thursday nights on CBS and on Tuesdays on Sky Living in the UK. &amp;gt; Elementary, Vegas get full seasons from CBS &amp;gt; Elementary star Jonny Lee Miller: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m a Sherlock groupie&amp;#039; Watch a clip from Elementary below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
