SPOILERS! Don’t read until you watch the show!
The OLDER the berry, the sweeter the juice ? Yeah. That doesn’t work. It’s kind of gross in this instance.
The baby AIN’T Jamal’s?
Lola is just allowed to leave with the mama?
Why is Hakeem always dresses like a hotel valet?
Is it me or did Hakeem seem to not really care about not fucking Naomi Campbell anymore?
Will Jamal’s real boyfriend come back now?
Is that security guard hot as fuck or what? Who is the fantastic kisser in that couple because that is some GOOD kissing. I’m just saying.
Next week is a two-hour finale where it looks like everyone turns on Lucious. What’s up with that? Is he going to get the ending he deserves?
Frankly, I don’t care what happens as long as there is a lot of Malcolm involved.
Thoughts?
That Anika vs. Cookie hair snatching is giving me Porsha/Kenya flashbacks. I can’t wait. The writing is kind of sloppy but so entertaining.
it was CRAZY!!!!! this is my new favorite show on tv! i am going to go through withdrawals when it ends next week. i wonder how long we will have to wait for season 2? every single character in this show has depth. so well written, the music is memorable, and there are so many things going on at once. NEVER watch this if you are distracted in any way.
i think lucious could STILL be the father, right? i was wondering why they just let her go before they found out for sure.
This show is a fabulous train wreck ! Absolutely riveting entertainment.
BTW- the prayer session with Jennifer Hudson was more Karma Sutra than genuflection! This show is like riding the Cyclone at Coney Island…
Aww, bye bye Lola Bear! Malcolm to the rescue. Can’t believe it’s about to end and next week looks great. Hoping some loose ends get tied up!
I think Lola will have to come back. I think Jamal and the hot British guy will get closer, and then Jamal will find out the kid is really his and the British dude will dump him because he doesn’t want to raise a kid and the original stable boyfriend will return to be the other parent.

I hope so Tamara , I loved Lola !
I do too…that she comes back and is really Jamal’s! I’m not sold on hot British guy, first I thought he was going to blackmail Jamal to come out next he doesn’t want a man with kids (and I cannot forgive him for making Jamal do that sleazy soft port video, yuck!). I want Jamal back with Michael. Empire allows us to get invested in certain characters but others not so much like Michael and Andre. I see Andre’s scenes but have zero investment in his character so his scenes, while good, just aren’t touching me emotionally but hopefully portray mental illness well. Wonder if next week cookie finds out luscious killed bunkie? Its going to be hot!!
I’m want to introduce Malcolm to my Boo boo Kitty
Bahahaha o just spit my coffee out & I never do that lolololol
LOVE this show. Just love it. The acting, the music, the fashion, the everything. Taraji is just amazing & so beautiful & so strong! She is the show in my opinion, it revolves around Cookie not Lusious. GAWD dang that Naomi Campbell is fkn beautiful, the camera lives for that woman.
This show gives people what they NEED, not what they WANT. That’s what makes a show amazing in my opinion. I’m thrilled its receiving all the attention it deserves.
Color me SHOCKED! Lucious is the baby’s father, not his son Jamal? I didn’t see that coming…
Next week looks amazing! I can’t wait for snoop dog!
Lucious at least THINKS he is the baby daddy. I am not sure that has even been resolved.

It was a bit messy. Too many loose ends that I hope they will tie up. Cookie Lyon is THE best role written for a woman in a very long time and Taraji P. Henson is working the HELL out of it. If she doesn’t get an Emmy and a SAG for this, then the fix is in!
I cannot believe that MoNique has been running around telling everyone that the role of Cookie was written for her!
I think MoNique would have been HORRIBLE as Cookie!
@Jacque MoNique needs to cut it out. She could NEVER have been Cookie. I can’t think of anyone else who could even be Cookie, other than Taraji! Love her
I don’t find that odd…she had a relationship with Daniels after filming Precious, I can buy that she was considered. Perhaps he was considering her prior to Taraji P. Henson accepting the role as his first choice. I agree she (Taraji) was the best choice based on the remarkable job she has done.
What I find interesting is the “blind item” insinuating that Terrance spent the weekend with Daniels and locked down the Lucious role afterward. It was alleged that Daniels was initially going to give it to Wesley Snipes. Taraji & Terrance were on Entertainment Tonight earlier this week and Taraji said that SHE told Daniels she wanted Terrance or she would not take to role as Cookie. Was she covering for Terrance????
No, Terrance has said that all along. Taraji said she would not take it unless Terrance was Lucious. Daniels was not happy with her “demands.” Then he thought about it and said, “That is exactly what Cookie would do. ” And he gave them both the parts.

ah Lawstangel…thanks for the TEA!!! lmao…
Taraji has been saying all along that she wanted Terrance for the role, he may have still had to spend time on the casting couch to get the role…what we want and what we get don’t always work out, without a little work…lmao!!! this gossip has me tickled
The reveal at end was crazy!! Talk about flipping the script~ whew. Lola’s mama’s name could have been something else other than Olivia. Maybe we just needed to see that Olivia has grown up and no longer on the Cosby Show. I’m glad Lucius is not my father…..where’s that paternity test dang!!
@TT Thanks, I did not know that…Cookie it is!!!!
Good episode.
Wasn’t shocked about Luscious being with Olivia because of that look he gave her when she was first introduced a few episodes ago. I do think that baby needs a DNA test. Seriously if the child was his, then wouldn’t she be entitled to something in his will?
Empire did a good job of teasing with a lot of the plot last week. There wasn’t a ton of surprises outside of how horrible Luscious is as a person. They way he treated Vernon and not being there for Andre. The only thing I liked was how he handled Camilla and sent her packing.
I like Cookie and Malcolm together, but I guess I just don’t understand why she is going this route now. It seems like she would have solidified her position in Empire first because she knows he will be jealous.
Next week seems intense. The fight between Cookie and Anika reminds me of Dynesty with Alexis.
Interesting that the ALS seems to be under control this week with Boo Boo Kitty gone…

Another great episode. Not surprised that luscious revealed that he is Lola’s dad. It seemed pretty obvious that they were going that route during the first flashback. I thought it would be him or Andre, only BC of the way Andre was acting that night. Derek Luke/Malcolm gets better with age. He is so handsome. I’m glad cookie came to her senses and went his way instead of going with luscious selfish ass. I think next week she will finally find out that luscious killed her cousin. Vernon is so pissed and high that he may not give two fucks about revealing it.
I think I need to put ‘bc’ back on the moderation list again. WTF with people who can’t type the word because?

Malcolm is super hot I hope Lucious does not have him killed when he finds out about him and Cookie. I need a lot more of him. I think the baby leaving without talk of a DNA test was a missed story opertunity. Maybe it’s coming later I hope so she’s so cute and I want to know who’s your baby daddy. If your gonna bring Mary J. On the show I want her to sing or talk or something why was she just like an extra. Can’t wait for 2 hours next week. Seems like it just started. I love it.
Lusious loves himself some Lusious. It shocked the hell out of me when he said he was Lola’s father. I wondered if he just said that because the man had a gun at Cookies head. I was waiting for a someone Jamal to holler I want a DNA test. Even Lucious right hand man is on coke. Lusious drives people to do any and everything. What about the death of Cookies cousin that Lusious killed. It’s a lot of loose ends to be set for another season.
I can’t wait until next week and next season. This is a good damn show with more twist and turns Than a Slinky!
This is the best show ever. Period. I love it!!! And the soundtrack, except this week’s songs, but overall, this is the absolute BEST!!!!!
Oh and Jamal and Hakim will be on Idol tonight performing. Not sure if it’s as those characters, or as Jussie and Yazz.
I love that Jussie was signed to a record deal too!
Love the show but the autotuning is driving me nuts..
In 2015 who doesn’t have a DNA test? Sloppy. Guess they want to drag that story out for next season. Malcolm is so hot he needs a storyline that doesn’t jeopardize his life! Too bad they chose Gabourey S as the assistant because he needs somebody to screw with that would turn up the heat for both Cookie and Luscious. Maybe they’ll replace her for next season because she is awful and adds nothing to the show. Neither does Malik Yoga unfortunately. I adore Naomi Campbell and wanted her to stick aroundto lead that boy around by his nose to piss off his father and take on Cookie. Why were Jennifer and Mary J on? Wasted their time for a cameo. I wish the writers would calm down and stop trying to squeeze in so many storylines per episode. This show can have a long life if they take their time and develop all these great characters. Cookie gives me “wife” as she acts her ass off and leads this family. Empire=2 thumps up, a head roll with a finger snap 🙂
OMG Malcom, just makes my armpits itch, and that’s as far as I will go with TMI. Good show last night, I know next week will be the ‘bomb’ (as the kids would say. TPH is a wonderful actress, who puts her everything into a character. Terrence is good too as Lucious, but Cookie IS the show imo.
I loved last nights episode but I can’t believe they tried bringing Drip Drop back. Now that song has been stuck in my head all day after it finally left. I wish Lola was Jamal’s daughter, she is adorable. Looks like next week is going to be epic! Hopefully Cookie finds out that Lucious was responsible for her cousins murder.
Haven’t laughed harder all week when hearing “The older the berry, the sweeter the juice”. I’ll be sad when this show is over.
I was not prepared for Lola to leave. It actually made me tear up. She is such a beautiful little girl. I was prepared for her to grow in the Lyons Household. Lee Daniels prepare a sister the next time you removing a cute kid from the show. Lol
I love Empire they need to have more episodes
Malcolm is soooo sessy, yasssss! I am here for the dragging of hairs between Anika and Cookie and to see what will happen to Lucious. I also believe that Lola will return and that there will be a last minute twist at the end
I was waiting to post until I had watched numerous episodes. Here goes – if you are old enough to remember watching primetime soap opera Dallas, this is almost an exact rewrite….with hip hop/music instead of the oil business. Money, over the top materialism, wives and everything else. Brothers fighting Dad over the family money/business – wives wacked out and fighting, illegit kids, affairs…it is very entertaining, just wish it they had better story lines.
I hope next week Cookie and whatshername brawl in a fountain!
