Not only is Kate (Jennifer Love Hewitt) pregnant, of course, and desperately searching for her kidnapped niece/adopted daughter Meg (Hailey Sole), but as we previously reported, JJ (A.J.

"It was a surprise that A.J. got pregnant - what a wonderful, happy surprise - so to also onscreen be able to give that to JJ after learning what she went through is great," executive producer Erica Messer tells TVGuide.com.

Clues to JJ's pregnancy will be sprinkled throughout Wednesday's finale (9/8c, CBS), when JJ proves to be just as dogged as Kate to find Meg. "She's very determined and you think it's her commiserating as a fellow mother, but by the end of the finale you know that she's having another baby," Messer says. "There'll be a nice little moment.
