Why isn't Miranda Bailey the new Chief of Surgery? It's a question this character will ponder when Grey's Anatomy returns on September 22.

But Bailey's professional life may soon take a backseat to her confusing personal life, as sources confirm to TV Line that Jason George will be making his way back to town this fall.

The actor, who starred on the only season of Off the Map, was last seen walking the halls of Seattle Grace prior to being dumped by Bailey on the season seven premiere.

Why does he return? It's unclear. When does he return? Late October or early November. What problems will this cause for Bailey and her romance with Eli? Tune in to Grey's Anatomy this fall. Find out.
