Isaiah Washington will soon reprise his role as Dr. Preston Burke on Grey's Anatomy and judging by the episode trailer, it's going to be one dramatic segment.

Although the May 1 episode is titled "We Are Never Getting Back Together," Preston and Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) may be doing just that. The doctor returns to Cristina years after he left her at the altar and makes a confession.

"I want you Cristina," he tells her. Although Cristina is skeptical, Preston also says, "All you have to do is say yes."

Does this mean Cristina will leave the Grey Sloan Memorial hospital and end up with Preston?

Washington previously spoke about his return to the ABC show and said that he was shocked by the script he read.

"The script is so amazing... it will blow you away... I was not expecting this," the actor said during his appearance on Access Hollywood Live in March.

Washington's return comes seven years after his character was written out on the season 3 finale in 2007. He was let go from the ABC show that season after he allegedly used a homophobic slur to refer to his former and openly gay costar T.R. Knight. Now, Washington will reappear to wrap up Oh's storyline.

"It's important to me that Cristina's journey unfolds exactly as it should," said show creator Shonda Rhimes in a statement. "Burke is vital to that journey - he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang."

-- Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
