Way to break that news gently, buddy.
(What is this app, by the way?
Something for secret concerts?

Is this related to Swift Stream?)
Especially after everyone saw Luciouss mother portrayed in his video, the timing couldnt be more apt.
Every time I do everything right, everything goes wrong!
Andre, refreshingly, gives him a little sense: You think you did everything right?
When Jamal tries to defend Hakeem, Andre stands firm: I lost my kid.
But sure, lets just pamper Hakeem because hes the baby!
You saying mom is falling for Lucious?
an incredulous Hakeem asks.
I aint getting King Kong and Godzilla back together!
He sounds great and raw like Season 1 Jamal, plus a little something more ferocious and experienced.
Anika is skeptical: What about your fiancee?
Anika, for her part, isnt so excited to step back into the den.
Your father threatened my life on the day the baby is born, she tells him.
So, forgive me if Im not feeling the whole concept of being a Lyon.
Once Harper leaves, Hakeem lays it on Lucious.
So you threatened to kill her?
The mother of my child?
When Hakeem storms out, Lucious says, Ooo, hes upset!
This, Lucious takes seriously.
I should have never went public, he says.
NEXT: What happened to Anika?!
So yes, he still caused it, in a way).
Anika quickly corrects her: You mean your grandchild?
Cookie responds with a sly look I couldnt quite read.
Is she reluctant to claim the kid?
Does she just not want to feel old?
Does she still just hate Boo Boo Kitty?
The baby will be fine, by the way.
Lucious makes it known that Harper should most definitelynotgo that route.
And Cookie interrupts Hakeems failed attempt to convince Laura to stay with him.
The grandmas Anikas mom and Cookie are already at the hospital when Hakeem shows up.
He convinces Ms. Calhoun to let him see Anika.
(Your family isnt exactly known for doing the right thing, she says.
She seems satisfied.)
Im sorry, Im calling off the dogs, Lucious promises Hakeem.
Apparently seeing the way Hakeem stood up for the baby convinced Lucious that hed raised him right.
Anyway Lucious proves hes serious by calling Laura and convincing her to give Hakeem a second chance.
She accepts it once again, and theyre re-engaged!
Bad move: Later, at the bipolar disorder event, Harper is furious.
Its a group home outside Philadelphia, she explains.
That womans name is Leah Walker.
I believe shes your grandmother.
Grandmother-grandson reunion next week?
Even Jamals little sister Freda Gatz shows up, as happy and supportive as weve ever seen her.
The youth always win with the power of the Internet!
Is that really happening?
Cookie says even if she needs to strap everyone down to get them there, its happening.
Before Cookie can respond, Lucious jumps in: Thats exactly why we did it!
The board would like you to come on as co-CEOs, with control split down the middle.
Cookie hesitates, but Lucious says, I think its a fantastic idea!
Cookie, you better invest in some armor, and quick!
They cant kill off Cookie because she ISEmpire the company and the show.
That show isnotgoing to happen easily, if it happens at all.
