Addison Montgomery's return is the big topic when we watch Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 3 online tonight (possible even without cable). Kate Walsh is reprising her role as the neonatal surgeon, who got her own spinoff Private Practice (which ran from 2007-2013).

Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 3 start time, channel

Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 3 airs today (Thursday, October 14) at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Addison is iconic for her entrance in the season 1 finale. She showed up and introduced herself to Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) as the wife of Derek Shepherd. "And you must be the woman who's been screwing my husband," Addison snarked. 

And it looks like the fiery redhead hasn't changed much at all. In Grey's Anatomy season 18 episode 2, titled "Hotter Than Hell," Addison returns to Seattle to help Richard (James Pickens Jr.) whip the residents into shape. 

Meanwhile, Meredith is still trying to figure out how to juggle her new lab with her job back at the hospital.
