But Mimi's double-cross of Cookie and "Anita" (shout out to Anika's second-best nickname) makes her one to watch in this power struggle.Īndre Leon Talley: Apparently the only one who didn't appreciate Cookie's fringe-y Gucci affair (his is Tom Ford, duh), we wish the Vogue editor would appear in every episode to play a little game of fashion police.Ĭhris Rock: He may not have been the most menacing prisoner we've ever seen, but everybody loves Chris. Marisa Tomei: for the striped suit she appeared in alone, the Oscar winner would take the top spot. After that, Jamal takes a page from his father's book, threatening to bury Hakeem's record and taunting his little bro with, "I've always been the only one." And if that wasn't enough to convince you that Jamal's got ice in his veins, once Lucious takes care of the prison threat to the family, the middle brother kicks the entire rest of the family out of Lucious's mansion. Which, of course, doesn't work (see: Lucious pulling the strings). After playing nice for the #FreeLucious concert that opens the show, the boys step up their game and go full-on corporate raider. Well, it was nice knowing him.Įven though Jamal's at the helm of Empire, older brother Andre and younger brother Hakeem still aren't happy with management. But that was before we find out that all of Frank's prison buddies have actually gone over to the LL side, thanks to some, ahem, monetary encouragement. For once, it seems like Lucious has actually got Cookie's back and is putting his own life at risk for hers. Lucious also pulls a fast one on Frank, who thinks he's got the upper hand when threatening not just Cookie, but the entire Lyon clan.
Lucious skypes in from jail (is that a thing?) to let his family know that he's won, dropping "Game over, b*tches" like its a hot mic - leading us to wonder if he's been taking lessons from the erstwhile Cece Drake/Charlotte DiLaurentis. With that, let's jump right in to season 2. And anyone hoping to keep Lucious out of the game. And with the star witness in Lucious's murder case conveniently dispatched, that could mean rough seas for the prosecution. Except the fact that after a physical fight with Andre, Lucious's right-hand man Vernon met his demise at the hands of Andre's wife Rhonda. With Jamal at the head, one Lyon son is happy (or at least as happy as a guy can get when his homophobic father backhanded compliments him into a role of power), but Hakeem and Andre aren't quite as pleased - and they're planning a hostile takeover with the help of Cookie and Anika (the two best frenemies anyone could ever have, emphasis on the 'enemies' part). He'll be starting the new season in an orange jumpsuit. If you can’t quite remember what happened last season, here’s how everyone ended the season:Īfter finding out he actually doesn't have ALS, Lucious kicked Cookie out of Empire, appointed Jamal his successor, and, oh yeah, got thrown into jail for killing Cookie's cousin Bunkie. The episode will live stream in Japanese with English subtitles.Just when you finally managed to get “ Drip Drop” out of your head (oh wait, there it is, back again), it’s time for the second season Empire.
