Spoilers ahead, be warned if you haven't seen the episode yet or don't want to know. If you have, we need to discuss what happened in the 3rd episode of the second season of Gotham, "The Last Laugh." After crafting what certainly appeared to be The Joker's origin story, in one Jerome Valeska played by Cameron Monaghan, it looks like we were all lead astray when his character was killed off in shocking fashion by new villain, Theo Galavan, played by James Frain. The scene took place during a charity event magic show, in which Galavan was supposed to create the opportunity of portraying heroism while allowing Valeska to take him away but it seems like Galavan had been playing him all along, stabbing him in the neck in and explaining, "this isn't what we rehearsed." What makes is more interesting is Valeska's father, whom we saw killed earlier in the episode, left him with some choice words about the affect of his legacy and the madness it will inspire and the episode ends showing various scenes of people laughing manically, just like The Joker. While its a bit sad to see such a great actor and character go, Gotham certainly pulled off a great joke on the viewers. So the question is now, is Galavan the new Joker or will we get a new character all together?
