Koracick won't be returning to Grey Sloan Memorial in Seattle. Instead, the neurosurgeon reunites with Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Meredith recently made the decision to split her time between Seattle and Minnesota in an effort to help Dr. David Hamilton (Peter Gallagher) cure Parkinson's.

The guest cameo will happen during next Thursday's (Nov. 11) episode.

We last saw Koracick at the end of season 17, when he had decided to go with Dr. Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams) to Boston and work together at the Catherine Fox Foundation.

The 18th season of "Grey's Anatomy" premiered Sept. 30. New episodes air Thursdays beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
