Jessica Biel is returning to her "7th Heaven" home for a full season.
Last season, Jessica, who plays Mary on the morally righteous WB program, did not appear on every episode because she was busy at university, TV Guide reports.
But the actress, who will co-star opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in this summer's feature "Summer Catch", has decided to take a year off from Tufts University so she can be in every episode of "7th Heaven" this season. Jessica then plans to spend the seventh and eighth season doing guest spots on the drama.
"They told me that they'd really love to have me, and I thought, 'It's not going to last forever," she told TV Guide. "I can always go back to school".
