The last time Grey’s Anatomy brought Cristina back into the fold was through a text message she sent Meredith about sending her a surprise. The surprise turned out to be the new ridiculously good looking doctor on-staff and Meredith started to fall for him. If Meredith is knocking on death’s door, though, you would think Cristina would return for at least one more episode to be with her *person*.

There still isn't an official word on Cristina making a cameo on the show in the near future, but like Derek’s surprise visit, it could be something the writers keep secret until it airs. One thing that’s for sure is fans are itching to see Cristina again now that they’ve gotten a blast from the past in the form of Derek.

Watch Grey’s Anatomy on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
