Hakeem gets kidnapped, Cookie gets betrayed, and Andre gets saved by the grace of hip-hop.
And (gasp!)
Cookies new boyfriend, Laz Delgado, happens to have a longhorn tattoo, too.

But dont worry, its probably just a coincidence.
Maybe Laz was a frat brother at the University of Texas?
Anyway, its hard to tell why anyone would mastermind this kidnapping plot, whether its Laz orEmpires writers.
Theres Becky, hooking up on the roof.
GET IT, GIRL!
The next, Lucious is negotiating his release and Hakeem is back to hooking up with Anika.
Either way, he doesnt want Cookie to see them.
(No strings, except the fact that he offered the same track to Freda.)
Will next weeks episode find Hakeem spontaneously cured of PTSD and ready for love with Laura?
Or will we still be guessing who kidnapped him?
It cant just be Laz, can it?
Maybe Cookies new man is working for Thirsty, whos out to blackmail Lucious?
Maybe Laz is actually working for Roxanne Ford, whos looking for some payback?
Or does every bad deed ultimately circle back to Lucious?
At this point, I suspect everyone, including Whoopty Woo.
That dog always had a cagey look in its eye.

(I laughed out loud when the business lady with the glasses nodded her head, like,Hmmmm!
$$$$!)
Its not just because J-Poppa loves Becky, though thats fantastic.
Its also that hes bound to bring a ton of drama to a show thats already rife with it.
Soon, Andre wont just be talking to God anymore.
Hell be talking to the locusts crawling out of his bathroom sink.
Most tweetable quote:Cookie: You aint a boss, Lucious.
Lucious: Theres all kinds of vampires in this business.
Some suck your blood.
Others will suck your…
Most GIF-worthy moment:Cookie holding a gun to the kidnappers head: Bitch, are we clear?
And the whole thing was a little awkward, between his trembling vibrato (la-la-la-love!)
Jamal also prepared to revamp his marketing campaign.
So, hes basically David Geffen, then?
The la-la-la-love between them might be broken, but its time to fix it.
Preferably with another sweet, Ne-Yo-penned love song.
Most tweetable quote:Im gay, and Im an artist.
But that dont make me a gay artist.
