Taking advantage of a break from her motherly duties, Ellen Pompeo was spotted stepping out of her Los Angeles home on Friday afternoon (November 6).

Keeping quite busy as she juggles filming duties along with tending to her baby daughter, Stella, the “Grey’s Anatomy” actress happily headed off to imbibe on a retail romp around town.

As for her hit ABC medical drama, breaking reports tell that Ellen’s former co-star Kate Walsh will be making a crossover visit back to Seattle Grace in January.

Entertainment Weekly columnist Michael Ausiello tells that “the episode will involve Addison (Kate Walsh) being called up north to help out former lover Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) with a case.”

Talking about the episode, “Grey’s” creator Shonda Rhimes told Ausiello, “Complications arise and Mark ends up taking [her] back down to Los Angeles to get more surgery.”
