Lucious is a free man, but the Lyons aren’t done with trouble.
And maybe he truly is a god, because hes creating some unbelievable miracles.
Roxanne shouldve come at Lucioushardthis week.

But the characters on this show dont have long memories, and neither does the show itself.
(Remember Lucious long lost daughter, Lola?
Where is she now that hes been talking about his legacy?
Remember how Lucious dad was killed by the Nation of Islam?
Whats the backstory there?
Its a disappointing twist.
Lucious mightve gotten Thirsty to rob Lyon Dynasty and steal their tracks.
You know how Lucious welcomes you into his family?
He murders someone you love.
Beyond revenge doeseverythingcome down to revenge with Lucious?
Wouldnt it be safer to mark a different labels boss, one whose husbandwasntrecently accused of killing someone?
Butshhhhhh!about that because its so nice to see Cookie with a new love interest.
Im not afraid to get my hands dirty, he purrs at her.
Every week, it gets harder to side against Team Cookie.
And the heartfelt speech she gives to Andre during his baptism just makes her even more lovable.
She might be terrible at contract negotiations.
But shes pretty great at being a mom.
Chase One, we hardly knew ye, and we suspect ye wont return.
Michael might be gone, too.
And the way Jamal has been drinking lately, thats good reason to worry.
He used to be the one inspirational story line on this show.
Pray that this doesnt send him into a downward spiral that would rival Andres from season 1.
Most tweetable quote:Sorry, Jamal, but its hard to top Mr. Laura might be the rareEmpirecharacter whos playing the long game for more than a few episodes.
Could there be a Mirage a Trois spin-off?
Well have to wait a while to find out, due to this weeks cliffhanger: Hakeem gets kidnapped.
The Lyons all have so many enemies, it could be anyone.
Maybe Whoopty Woo is involved.
What the heck happened with him this week?He went to confession.
Hes feeling so saintly, he even refuses to help Thirsty steal from Lyon Dynasty.
When no one has your back, its time to move your back, far away from Empire.
Most tweetable quote:Ya house aint clean if the closet is dirty.
the pastor to Andre
Most GIF-worthy moment:Rhondas face when Andre mentions the baby.
Shes gotta be faking this pregnancy.
