Addison previously returned to Seattle for a two-episode storyline earlier in the season because she was undergoing a groundbreaking uterine procedure.

The doctor also had the opportunity to meet the new generation of doctors at the hospital, while faced for the first time the death of her ex-husband Derek.

These episodes marked the first time Walsh played Addison since her spin-off ‘With out PRIVIOUSE appointment‘ will conclude in 2013. The actress was a cast member on season 1 of ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ before leaving the show after its third season to launch the series centered around her character.

In other ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ news, ABC confirmed this week that the season finale (and the 400th episode) will air in the US on Thursday, May 26. The series was renewed for a 19th season last January.

The spin-off’station 19‘ will return in the fall for its sixth season.
