Jamal Lyons may make one last appearance before Empire wraps up its final season. Show runner Brett Mahoney detailed to TVLine about behind-the-scenes conversations that could bring back Jussie Smollett before the show’s curtain call.

“It would be weird in my mind to end this family show and this family drama of which he was such a significant part of without seeing him,” Mahoney said. ”It’s fair to say it’s being discussed, but there’s no plan as of yet to bring him back. There’s been no decision made.”

Smollett has not appeared on the show after his alleged staged attack in Chicago at the top of the year. Empire discussed his disappearance from the show as as he left the city with his husband Kai, relocating in London.

Empire aired it’s fall finale Tuesday night (Dec. 17).
