TVLINE | Given how homophobic Lucious has been throughout the series, it’s kind of delicious that the lesbian character brings him down. And we realized pretty early on that those two stories needed to be married - quite literally - to one another. And we also knew that we were going to bring Camilla back - and that she was back for retribution. We knew that Mimi was going to play that role of the usurper, that Lucious was getting in bed with the enemy, and that she would take his company away from him. How early on did you plot that? Did you know the minute you introduced Mimi that she was in cahoots with Camilla or did that come later? TVLINE | I did not see that twist of Camilla being Mimi’s wife - and returning to take control of Empire… which I guess puts me in good company with Lucious, Cookie and everyone else. On that note, let’s cut right to Chaiken’s insights Empire’s wild, gasp-inducting, final hour of 2015. This doesn’t stop Lucious from declaring him “fixed” (ugh, GROSS) by a woman’s love - or spreading the word to Jamal’s wealthy gay David Geffen-y patron. * Oh, in other news, Skye figures out that her one night of passion with Jamal isn’t going to bloom into a full-fledged romance, since at the end of the day, he identifies as gay. If she or her fetus survive the fall - and hours laying without medical attention - it’ll be a miracle on par with Tiana’s awful new song being viewed as a viable single. Later, an intruder breaks into Rhonda and Andre’s house - and pushes Rhonda down her epic staircase in epically horrifying fashion. * Meanwhile, Rhonda’s pregnancy hormones are clearly dulling her usually vicious instincts, and she allows a wild-eyed Anika to hang out at her house and practically hiss with rage about her one-time-almost-future-daughter-in-law-then-sister-in-law’s fab life. * Lucious winds up shooting up his study as Jamal and Andre sit downstairs - and it’s Cookie who intervenes, offers perspective and tells him that he needs to pull it together to protect the family legacy. But instead of a congratulatory Champagne toast, she gets a brutal load of Cookie’s spit directly in her face as the takeover plan is finalized. * In the boardroom, Hakeem goes against his family’s wishes and votes with Camilla - who is immediately installed as Empire’s head honcho.
Cookie decides she needs to stay behind to reconnect with a prison buddy who’s just received a life sentence for killing her cellmate - girl, she’s not going anywhere! - and passes her proxy power to Hakeem.
* Cookie and the ASA-snubbed Hakeem are off the grid, performing at Family Day at Wallace Correctional Facility’s Family Day, until Andre tracks them down with news of Mimi and Camilla’s takeover bid. She calls for an emergency vote later that night to oust him from his perch as chairman and CEO. The scene shows Lucious telling his youngest son, "The next time I see you, I will kill you," and the scene shifts to Hakeem pulling a gun at his father.* Uh-oh, Mimi’s been secretly recording her conversations with Lucious, and reveals to the Empire board of directors his utter disdain for following the rules of a publicly traded company. The new promo shows Hakeem holding a gun against his own father.
The father and son duo - Lucious and Hakeem -do not see eye to eye on pretty much anything, but Hakeem voting against his father and throwing him out of his company, has left their relationship in a shambles. He declares, "Watch your back, because I keep my promises."Ģ. The promo shows Lucious saying, "I want revenge" as we see a car blow up. Lucious will go to any length to get his company back and get his revenge on those who wronged him. Here are a few things to expect in episode 11, which is titled, Death Will Have His Day:ġ. An unidentified person pushes Rhonda Lyon down the stairs, endangering the lives of Andre's wife and their unborn baby. Besides, Jamal and Lucious are both nominated for the song of the year category at the fictional American Sound Awards. The fall finale ended with Lucious losing his CEO position at Empire Entertainment to Camilla Marks (Naomi Campbell), thanks to Hakeem's betrayal. A new promo for the midseason premiere hinted at much happening around Lucious and Hakeem, as the Lyon patriarch is out for revenge. Fans will have to wait until 30 March to watch the new episodes of Empire season 2, but drama around the Lyon family will be intense.
