It's difficult to tell because supposedly his contract ends in Feb but I don't know if that means he's working up until Feb so his scenes will continue to be aired until around Mar/Apr time or if his scenes end in Feb, and he stops working early Jan.
This is obviously assuming that he's definitely leaving, but there's not been any confirmation of that other than Emmett's hinting, so it's down to you what you believe really.
