Warning: The following contains spoilers from last night's episode of Empire. If you haven't watched yet, you may want to turn away. Consider yourselves warned.
Following last night's shocking
cliffhanger ending to the penultimate episode in Empire's second season where
Jamal took a bullet meant for nasty ol' dad Lucious Jussie Smollett sent fans
who felt certain that their favorite character would survive into a frenzy with
one little tweet.
The actor seemed to confirm that
his time on the Fox hit was up, talking about his tenure on the series in the
past tense and referring to his future, unrelated plans.
"I've thoroughly enjoyed my
time w/ @EmpireFOX. I love you all. Truth," Smollett wrote following the
episode's west coast airing. "Time 2 make a record & some movies.
#Empire"
So, what is it? Is this just the latest in TV's long
line of ruses this season to make fans at home believe their favorite
characters really are dead, even though, in actuality, they are not? Or has the
ratings juggernaut actually decided to kill off its prodigal son? (Our money's
on the former, FWIW.) The actor has gone radio silent on social media since
sending the tweet in question.
