Kate Walsh is returning to Grey's Anatomy again!

On April 6, Grey's Anatomy announced that Kate Walsh will return to the medical drama on May 5. The Private Practice alum confirmed the news by posting an Instagram video of her in costume, writing, "I'm back in uniform and that can only mean one thing…#GreysAnatomy Thursday, May 5th!" 

And fans are freaking out, obviously. 

"I'M NOT BREATHING" and "YOU'RE AN ICON, YOU ARE A LEGEND YOU ARE THE MOMENT," some fans commented.

"KATE IS THE SAVIOR OF SEASON 18," added another.

Kate Walsh previously reprised her role as Addison Montgomery earlier this season. Back in February, Addison was in Seattle to perform a uterine transplant. But while she was in town, the surgeon took the opportunity to catch up with Amelia Shephard (Caterina Scorsone) and teach some Grey Sloan Memorial residents. 

"It's like going back home, going back to a job that you started 18 years ago," Kate told the publication E! News' Daily Pop of her season 18 return in October. "Who really does that?"
