Gotham fans, the time has come! After lots of pleading and trending Twitter hashtags, the folks behind the FX drama have brought back a fan-favorite character. Tonight, audiences saw Jerome make a terrifying comeback to the show after being killed off last season, and he's got revenge on his mind.

Of course, the character did not come back from the dead all in one piece. No, Jerome gained a few notable scars thanks to the process, and they looked gruesome to say at the least. So, naturally, one of Gotham's stars wants to share a behind-the-scenes photo of actor Cameron Monaghan getting dolled up for his role.

"Approach with extreme caution," Sean Pertwee captioned a photo on Twitter. "Geniuses at work." The actor, who plays Alfred, shared a photo of Monaghan lying down while make-up artists applied special FX prosthetics. The add-ons were blended into to make it look like Jerome had been gifted a brand-new face, and the grisly site is enough to make a more than a few stomachs turn.

You can read the synopsis for the next episode of Gotham titled "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies" below:

"With Jerome (guest star Cameron Monaghan) on the loose with one target in mind, Bruce and Alfred's safety is compromised.
