The final season of Parenthood will include one major death in the Braverman family, and more hints are alluding to Zeek (Craig T. Nelson) being the unfortunate one.

Haddie Returns in Finale For Death in Braverman Family?

NBC released new photos from the Jan. 8 episode titled "How Did We Get Here," and it shows the Braverman family gathered at the hospital. In one photo, the doctor is seen speaking with Zeek's wife Camille (Bonnie Bedelia) and - judging by her facial expression - it appears to be bad news.

In another picture, Zeek's daughter Sarah (Lauren Graham) embraces her daughter Amber Holt (Mae Whitman) as they both shed tears.

Zeek is the only character absent from the pictures. Could the upcoming episode be the one fans have been dreading?

Actress Monica Potter, who plays Kristina Braverman, previously dished on the impending death and revealed the whole cast is "afraid" of who it might be.

"It's going to be someone. I don't know, I have a guess of who it is," Potter told the E! News in October. "I think one person might know and it's probably the person that it's going to happen to, but nobody else does."

She added: "Subconsciously we all don't want to face that because if I'm right in my hunch in who it is, I don't know how I'm going to deal with that. Even though it's not real."

Parenthood airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. EST on NBC.
