Gotham: Synopsis For Episode 12- Ghosts
The return of Jerome Valeska begins when Gotham returns on January 16th with episode 12, “Ghosts”
Gotham will return from its surprisingly short hiatus in just a few weeks on January 16th, and it hasn’t been holding back what will be the focus of the show upon its return. Jerome Valeksa, Gotham’s very own proto-Joker (and maybe even actual Joker), will be coming back from the dead. And it looks like it starts right off the bat with episode 12, which will also feature the return of someone else who is dead (though most likely staying that way). Check out the synopsis for episode 12 “Ghosts” below:

So yeah, Paul Reubens will be back as Oswald’s dad, but my guess is it will be a hallucination/dream. Also, if Jerome is still dead at this point, I guess he wasn’t brought back to life a the end of season two like we all pretty much thought. Finally is anybody surprised Carmine is putting out a hit on Gordon? He promised he was the only chance to even bring Mario in alive, and he just shot him to hell. He didn’t even try to just wound the guy. Gotham returns on January 16th on Fox!
