  • Samantha Buck as Detective G. Lynn Bishop. Buck temporarily replaced Kathryn Erbe while she was on maternity leave. (Kathryn did appear briefly in a few episodes until her return.) Detective Bishop is introduced in episode 5, "Pravda," as the temporary partner of Det. Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio). She was assigned to the Major Case Squad of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) due to Det. Alexandra Eames volunteering to serve as a surrogate mother for her sister's baby. Bishop's shield number is 6141 - clearly legible in the episode titled, "F.P.S.".

Goren's unorthodox ways of solving a case was something Eames had become accustomed to. However, Bishop found Goren's methods difficult to keep up with, ultimately resulting in an often lack of chemistry between them. Goren further exacerbated the situation by making unfavorable comparisons between Bishop and Eames. Det. Bishop's final appearance was in episode 11, "Mad Hops."
