He is gone for good. Celebrities no longer get free passes when making anti-gay slurs.

Isaiah Washington Let Go from Grey's Anatomy
THURSDAY JUNE 07, 2007 10:20 PM EDT
By Mary Green
The speculation is over: After a controversial season, Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy, his rep and ABC Television Studio have confirmed.
Howard Bragman, Washington's publicist, says Washington's option was not renewed, and released this statement from the actor: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more." Bragman did not elaborate.
The cast was notified Thursday night of the final decision, which, says a source close to the situation, was a long time coming. In the end, the source says, Washington's behavior made him a liability.
Though rumors ran rampant following the season finale Рduring which Washington's character, Dr. Preston Burke, broke up with his fianc̩e, Christina Yang (Sandra Oh), and moved out of their apartment Рthe source insists that no decision had been finalized at the time of the finale.
Washington first came under fire last fall after getting into an altercation with Patrick Dempsey, during which he allegedly referred to castmate T.R. Knight with a homophobic slur.
Washington later apologized, checked into rehab, met with gay leaders and recently released a PSA decrying the use of hate speech.

No he's for sure NOT coming back. There was a press release he made when he was fired, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore."
