And Anika should probably watch it with the sly one liners because we all know Cookie would win that fight handily.īunkie's body was found and I almost choked on my drink when I saw the tears streaming down Lucious's face as he vowed to find the killer. They are so jealous of one another, it's frightening. I have feeling she will be telling someone ASAP.Ĭookie and Anika, man. Here's hoping going forward, both Lucious and Cookie understand their sons better and can keep the Lyon family from self-destructing.īecky found out Lucious is sick and she's sworn to secrecy. Maybe it's me who's not listening to them. And while talking about Fo Fo and the Hakeem debacle, things got personal for Lucious, as he lamented his own shortcomings as a father. With Lucious being a friend of the president, Lucious had to go on an apology spree (and apparently Obama was using some terse language). No matter anyone's views, putting this out there in primetime and fostering conversation is a powerful thing and I always applaud shows for taking a stand in that sense. And they may have succeeded! They really went for it here and it's a bold move for the show to broach this topic, along with mentions of Trayvon Martin and police shootings. In the blink of an eye, he's peeing on the carpet and declaring President Obama a sellout.īefore this show premiered, I saw interviews from the cast and they said this show was going to piss people off. While out drinking with friends, he gets on camera to profess his love for a new starlet and what starts off innocently goes drastically downhill. And he seems so obsessed with launching Hakeem, that he ignores all of Hakeem's faults. He doesn't care to accept Jamal for who he is. With Cookie in jail for all those years and Lucious busy starting a company and taking horrible cover art photos, it's clear he hasn't spent much time really getting to know his sons. It made me wonder if his family is even aware of his condition. His refusal to take his medications is clearly a point of contention in his marriage to Rhonda and Lucious could also see that something wasn't quite right with his eldest son. : Listen to me, for most people cancelling a doctor's appointment is just lazy.But for someone who's bipolar, it's life-threatening. Listen to me, for most people cancelling a doctor's appointment is just lazy. And for a bunch of relatively smart people, no one seems to be catching on yet.īut besides being hungry for the Empire crown, Andre is also sick. He and Rhonda are out to control Empire and they're pitting everyone against each other.
Why is she even here? Ain't she supposed to be locked up for like ten.Īndre is still very much on the outside and if there was every any doubt as to his intentions, there shouldn't be now. Why is she even here? Ain't she supposed to be locked up for like ten more years?
Jamal: She wants me to come out the same day that you perform at Leviticus and get your press. They have a natural brotherly chemistry and I forget all about the many ways Hakeem can be annoying when he's with Jamal. The best parts of Empire Season 1 Episode 1 were Jamal and Hakeem and that trend continued tonight. Jamal has no interest in this because he's the best and him and Hakeem have the best relationship on the show. Of course Lucious isn't having this and we spend a lot of time with Cookie, as she tries to get Jamal to come out of the closet and upstage his brother. You're, you're more like a mentor to him, like Diana Ross did for the Jackson Five.įo Fo isn't exactly thrilled to do this and one person who hopes it doesn't work out is Cookie, who's hoping Jamal can join Hakeem on stage. Lucious: Play with Hakeem at Leviticus's opening. With his new club, Leviticus, opening and Hakeem headlining, he enlists Fo Fo's help. Naturally everyone is calling for Lucious to drop Fo-Fo, but he comes up with a better plan. The media jumps all over this and suddenly the company and the upcoming IPO are put in jeopardy.
