Why didn't you replace the plug first? Yes, and from now on - it would be a good idea to work from cheapest to more expensive when investigating a fault on any mechanical device, including cars.

Your mechanic probably just swapped coil packs and the wire from another cylinder and he can do the same with the sparkplug. If they have 50K or more you might as well change all 12 anyway.
