We only saw a few brief glimpses of Cameron Monaghan's Jerome Valeska on tonight's midseason premiere of Gotham, but next week it looks like the deranged villain will make his actual return to to the land of the living with a little help from one of his obsessed disciples, Dwight Pollard (Dark Knight and Ant-Man actor David Dastmalchian).

It'll be very interesting to witness Jerome's journey from this point on, and to see if he really does evolve into The Clown Prince of Crime.

In related news, executive producer John Stephens tells TV Guide that we "might" see a proto version of Harley Quinn in the season 3 finale. If she does turn up, it's a safe bet she'll be a member of the Joker cult.

Check out the promo for "Smile like you Mean It" below, along with some promotional stills HERE.
