In a clip released by ABC, it is revealed that Thomas makes his appearance as he interrupts Dr. David Hamilton (Peter Gallagher) who is questioning whether they have a sufficient amount of "gel brains and how much do they cost?"

Tom is back
"You made it," exclaims Meredith to which Tom replies: "Bad time?"
His return sees him follow in the footsteps of Kate Walsh and Scott Speedman who have both reprised their iconic roles this season.
Patrick Dempsey's Derek Shepherd — who died in season 11 — even returned for a dream sequence as Meredith recovered from COVID.

"Greg Germann is a comic genius and we are so lucky that he brought his talents to our show these last few years. We will miss Greg terribly in the day-to-day," showrunner Krista Vernoff added at the time.
"But we plan to see Tom Koracick again!"
