Henry Ian Cusick — who joined "MacGyver" this season as new Phoenix Foundation owner Russ Taylor — teased the reunion via a selfie, to which "MacGyver‘s" own Twitter handle confirmed that Garcia will reprise his role as "Hawaii Five-0" conspiracy theorist Jerry Ortega.

Garcia made his "Five-0" debut in early Season 4, when Jerry was introduced as an old high school classmate of Chin Ho Kelly’s (Daniel Dae Kim). When "Five-0" was renewed for Season 6, Garcia was promoted to series regular status.

He last appeared on "Five-0" in the Season 10 opener, at the end of which Jerry — after being shot — chose to step away from the task force and live his life a bit differently.

“Playing Jerry was a blast, and I look forward to popping in again to play with my TV ohana,” Garcia shared back then in a statement to TVLine.

Showrunner Peter M. Lenkov in turn said, “There will always be a place for Jorge and Jerry on Hawaii Five-0” — or, as it turns out, one of Lenkov’s other CBS drama reboots.

Garcia’s air date has not yet been locked in.

A full 11 months after word leaked that "MacGyver" would be hosting a tiny "Lost" reunion, we have details on what finds Jorge Garcia’s "Hawaii Five-0" character interacting with Henry Ian Cusick’s Russ Taylor.

In the same episode, Mac and team rush to help when Matty’s former mentor, Ian Cain (Robert Patrick), and his embassy staff come down with a deadly, mysterious illness.
