"Shonda Rimes is genius," he said of the show’s creator. "I'm unbelievably humble and over the moon with what I read last night."

In fact, the actor thinks the episode — which is tied to Sandra Oh’s exit from the series — will have a lasting effect.

"I had to stop and say, 'OK, now what? What is the world going to do after this?'" he continued. "It's going to blow you away!"

Isaiah left the series in a less-than-positive way after he used an anti-gay epithet directed toward co-star T.R. Knight. His character, Dr. Preston Burke, also left Dr. Cristina Yang, played by Sandra Oh, at the alter as they were about to married. But his return to the medical drama will be much more optimistic.

"It's all positive. It's so amazing," he teased. "It’s just beyond!"

First up, catch Isaiah on "The 100," which premieres Wednesday night at 9/8c on The CW.
