She deputed with no real goodbye, but now Ashley Fink is set to say hello to Glee viewers once again.

The actress will reprise the role of Lauren Zizes on the very first episode of 2013, which airs on January 24 and is based around the school's Sadie Hawkins Dance.

Fink appeared throughout Glee Season 2, dating Puck for a period of time, but was gone for almost all of Season 3 and this will make the character's first Season 4 appearance.

No word yet on what brings Lauren back around, but we're guessing she'll be asking someone we know to the dance.
