Studio Pierrot has released preview images and the official synopsis for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 2 - The Separation Episode 19. The title of the next episode is The White Haze, and viewers already know that the war between the Soul Reapers of Soul Society and the Sternritter of the powerful Wandenreich's army is far from over.
The previous episode featured Mask De Masculine taking down Kensei Muguruma and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi with some support from James. That's when Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai joined the fight. While Rukia took the two defeated captains to safety, Renji battled the Sternritter with his true Bankai. Fortunately, Renji managed to beat Mask De Masculine.
The preview images for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 19 came from from the official website of the anime based on Tite Kubo's popular shonen manga, and as you can see below, the previews tease Ichigo's return to Soul Society

What will Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 19 be about?
The next episode of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War will likely showcase Rukia's abilities as she fights Sternritter "F" -"The Fear", As Nodt. In the previous episode, rather than battling, she decided to help Kensei Muguruma and Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi. Rukia is set to don a white dress, hinting towards her Bankai.
Meanwhile, it looks like we'll see Ichigo return to Soul Society soon as he communicates with Urahara. After finishing his training at the Soul King Palace, he learns about the Quincy's invasion of Soul Society, so he immediately goes to Soul Society to defeat Yhwach and the powerful Sternritters.

After completing his training at the Reiou Palace, Ichigo immediately rushes out when he hears that the Destructor's invasion has already begun. While descending towards Seireitei, Ichigo communicates with Urahara and tells him that he will do something about it. Around that time, Hushwald, who took Uryū to the execution ground in Ginkakujo, ruthlessly executed the defeated Soto BG9, and began to talk about what kind of existence Yuhabach was. On the other hand, Rukia, who confronted As Nodt, swings her sleeves without hesitation in front of "fear".
