Channeling '40s screen siren Rita Hayworth – with a far gutsier singing voice than might be expected – Katie Holmes suggestively belts "Hit Me with a Hard Note" for a dream sequence to air on the Oct. 21 episode of ABC's Eli Stone, previewed here.

Holmes is due to guest-star as Grace, a non-profit attorney with a mysterious case – and a large orchestra accompaniment. She goes into her tune during one of Eli's visions. Jonny Lee Miller plays Eli.

There's also a second clip of Eli helping Grace out at a baseball game on E! online.
