Welcome back Dr. Jackson Avery, Grey’s Anatomy fans!
A new promo for the Oct. 30 episode of the medical drama shows Jesse Williams’ Dr. Avery being greeted by the Grey Sloan staff — seemingly the whole staff, to his embarrassment — in “Goodbye Horses.”
Williams, who left the show after season 17 as a series regular in 2020, has guest-starred three times since then. Episode 4 of season 22 will mark Dr. Avery’s fourth guest appearance on the show.

In his last appearance, on the season 21 premiere, Dr. Avery had some stern words for Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) about his fiery mom, Catherine Fox (Debbie Allen), as well as their Fox Foundation and Meredith’s unauthorized use of funds for her Alzheimer’s research.
The season 22 episode 4 official description reads, “The interns juggle a bizarre trauma, while a complex breast reconstruction forces Meredith into a tense partnership,” leaving Jackson’s appearance a mystery.
