in a special episode on Monday, Dec. 15, at 9 p.m. ET, called "Who's Sari Now?", "Firefly" star Nathan Fillion -- who also guest-starred in the final season of "Buffy" as the evil preacher Caleb -- appears in the first of two "Miss Match" episodes.

"I'm all for nepotism," he says, calling in between takes while shooting his second episode, the upcoming "Miss Communication." "Nepotism be praised! There's a lot of 'Buffy' people here, a lot of 'Firefly' people. Also, Christina Hendricks did an episode of 'Miss Match,' and she played Saffron on 'Firefly.'"

Fillion plays Adam Logan, a college buddy of Michael (David Conrad), Kate's current love interest, and the soon-to-be-ex-husband of Michael's ex-girlfriend, Lauren (Dina Meyer, "Birds of Prey"), who is Kate's divorce client. Also guest-starring in the episode is Tariq Kabir, one of the rejected suitors from the NBC reality show "Average Joe."

"There's no wonder that Alicia is a movie star," Fillion says. "She sparkles. She sparkles in real life and on screen. She sparkles and sparkles and sparkles - and she's sweet."

Fillion also isn't surprised that Carpenter is returning. "Because they love her! I'll tell you why right now. She's gorgeous! Oh my God, she's gorgeous. I've never met her."

Fillion did get to meet Silverstone's "Miss Match" co-star, film veteran Ryan O'Neal, who plays her lawyer father.

"We have great chats over lunch," Fillion says. "Boy, that guy is funny. He told a couple of stories -- nothing I can repeat, actually."
