After changing optical AGN type from 1.9 to 1 in 1984, the AGN Mrk 1018recently reverted back to its type 1.9 state. Our ongoing monitoring nowreveals that the AGN has halted its dramatic dimming, reaching a minimum aroundOctober 2016. The minimum was followed by an outburst rising with $\sim$0.25U-band mag/month. The rebrightening lasted at least until February 2017, asconfirmed by joint Chandra and Hubble observations. Monitoring was resumed inJuly 2017 after the source emerged from sunblock, at which point the AGN wasfound only $\sim$0.4 mag brighter than its minimum. The intermittent outburstwas accompanied by the appearance of a red wing asymmetry in broad-line shape,indicative of an inhomogeneous broad-line region. The current flickeringbrightness of Mrk 1018 following its rapid fading either suggests that thesource has reignited, remains variable at a low level, or may continue dimmingover the next few years. Distinguishing between these possibilities requirescontinuous multiwavelength monitoring.
