#Empire: S4 Ep8 *Cupid Painted Blind* #Empire #OMG

Episode Rating Scale: (10) Exceptional

The season is (1) episode away from it's fall finale. Diana Dubois has broken the Lyon cubs down. Between Hakeem, Jamaal and Andre; she broke Andre the worst. It's time for Cookie to end this battle but she can't do it alone. Lucious is needed. Never thought we would be craving for the monster and evil that lives inside of Lucious. However, Lucious always protected his family by any means necessary. They can even use Mama Leah right about now; she has no problem ending lives. Cupid Painted Blind, what does that mean? Let's recap and figure it out. 

After beating Warren badly, Thirsty discovers it's a warrant out for Jamaal's arrest. The entire family is at Jamaal's condo. Cookie makes it's clear Diana is taking her sons down one by one. Andre is next. At the same time, Cookie is looking for alcohol and pills in Jamaal's cabinets. She fears this heartache will cause him to relapse. He has worked too hard to fight that demon. I pray he doesn't relapse. Love hurts when it ends but doesn't mean you can't get over it.

The injuries Jamaal gave Warren was unbelievable. Angelo rubbed it in Warren's face. Angelo admits he knew Jamaal had it in him but didn't think Warren wouldn't fight back. It's funny to me how Angelo feel falling for a Lyon is a bad thang. Angelo fell for Cookie knowing her past and her family lifestyle. He could have walked away from Cookie. Warren could have been honest with Jamaal once he fell in love with him. Them Dubois need to accept some responsibility in their broken hearts. And Angelo, you aired your dirty dealings for the world to hear. So get off the blame game. But I am confused, how is Warren a Dubois? The fact that Angelo stated, "Mother, will still take care of your father. " So is Warren's father her brother or her husband's brother? I am kind of confused about that.  I felt sorry for Warren tho. He lost everything helping Diana. She blames him for falling in love not her need for revenge. Diana is heartless indeed. At this point, I don't feel it's about Angelo's career being ruin. I genuinely think it's deeper than that. 

Cookie drill Andre about any new things happening in his life. Andre insists he hasn't met anyone new, but that's a lie. He met Detective Pamela Rose. Lucious stops Andre as he was very sarcastic. He nails Diana's tactics perfectly. As Lucious stated, "she moves pass your brain and goes for your heart." Indeed she does. She snatched Hakeem's heart with his daughter and snatched Jamaal's heart with a good relationship. How is she going to snatch Andre's heart? That's what Cookie and Lucious are trying to figure out, but Andre is not honest. Hakeem is tired of the repeated denial from Andre. Jamaal is tired of them being in his house, and Andre is just tired of being questioned. Cookie is looking at all three of her sons like they lost their minds.  She calls them three stupid blind ass mice. Lmao. Cookie is genuinely trying to protect her family, but they instead drown in the sorrows of Diana's damage to their hearts. Andre and Hakeem head to Empire. Jamaal puts Lucious and Cookie out his condo. Cookie sees the hurt from Warren's betrayal in Jamaal's face. As she stares at him, she has a flashback of when she was in jail. Her most significant enemy in prison became her friend. Her friend in need.  She got pregnant by a CO. She went into labor and had a baby. Cookie helped her through it all. The memory was about that feeling of protection the first time you see your child. Protecting her kids is all Cookie is focused on. Cookie can't let Diana get away with the pain she has caused her children. 

Cookie needs Lucious back to his old ways. She makes it clear if he can't help her, paint a symphony somewhere. She can avenge this war for her family. Lucious is doing the best he can under the circumstances. Divide and conquer is his plan. He tells Cookie to let him deal with Andre because he is hiding something. Cookie takes off to find Warren. Warren is the only person that can keep Jamaal out of jail. 

Cookie pays Diana a visit. She brings Diana the engagement ring Angelo gave her. The ring is a family heirloom for the Dubois family.  However, the ring was just a distraction for Diana and her bodyguards. Cookie throws the ring in the street. Diana's bodyguards all run to secure the piece of jewelry. This was a distraction for Thirsty to take pictures of all of Diana's bodyguards. The plan worked perfectly. 

Back at Empire, Tiana is in the studio recording her song for 20/20 with Shine. Hakeem enters the studio. This the first time we see Tiana since Bella's trial. Shine calls Hakeem to the studio because he wants to put Hakeem on one of his tracks for the five albums he has to release on 20/20. I guess Shine wasn't informed that Tiana and Hakeem are no longer together. He tells Hakeem, " I thought your girl could talk you into it." Hakeem makes it's clear Tiana isn't his girl and he not interested in doing a track. See, this is the bratty side of Hakeem. Tiana didn't cause him to lose Bella. He lost his daughter all by himself. Instead of apologizing, he acts like a spoiled, entitled kid. I thought this part of Hakeem was gone and he grew beyond that. I guess some habits are hard to break. Tiana comes out the booth, and Hakeem tells her to put some auto-tune on her track. Enough was enough for Tiana. She smacks Hakeem with ones of those grandma cock hand smacks to your face. You go girl. Tiana doesn't deserve Hakeem's disrespect. She gives him a piece of her mind as well. Good job Tiana. Shine takes Tiana's side. Hakeem vows not to date anyone because it ruins everything. I like this scene because we see another side to Shine. Shine steps up to help Hakeem learn it's more about manhood and fatherhood. He tells Hakeem to come with him. What does Shine have to show Hakeem? I hope it's nothing shady. You never know with Shine. One minute he seems over the past with Lucious and Cookie, but then it's revealed he still in his feelings. 

Thirsty has all the pictures of Diana's bodyguards. He explains to Lucious that one bodyguard is on her payroll but doesn't be with Diana. That's the guard who is watching Warren. Diana knows Warren is in love with Jamaal. She also doesn't want her plans for the Lyons revealed. So, she has Warren in hiding. According to Angelo,  it's for his protection from the Lyons. But it's really for Diana's protection in my eyes. Love will make you turn on family sometimes. It looks like that's the dilemma Warren is in. Anyway, Lucious puts Thirsty on another project. I swear Thirsty gets the information and job done. What does Thirsty have to do now?

Andre approaches Pamela about her role with the Dubois. He makes it clear someone is after his family. He tells her about how Diana is destroying his family through their hearts. Pamela denies any involvement with the Dubois. She is hurt that Andre would even think she would play him. She walks off but not before letting Andre know; she felt they had something special. I guess Lucious asked Thirsty to watch Andre. After Pamela leaves, you see Thirsty calling Lucious telling him to meet him at the restaurant. He tells Lucious something is up with Andre. Andre sits at the table, apologizing to the customers at the restaurant for his outburst with Pamela. It just seems to be no love in the air for Andre since Rhonda's death.

Lucious and Thirsty walk up on Andre at the restaurant. Andre is shocked to see them. Lucious asked Andre is everything okay. Andre tries to hide the fact he was just there with Pamela; however Thirsty told Lucious Andre was yelling at someone. Andre finally tells Lucious about Pamela. He admits he is seeing her and explains she is a cop. That's why this has been his secret.  He describes how she is kind and beautiful. He tells Lucious it's over because he accused her of working with the Dubois. He tells his father, he didn't think he can feel this way about another woman after Rhonda. So he didn't have feelings for Nessa? Andre leaves, and it looks like his heart is broken. Does Pamela work for Diana? Is she there to take Andre down for the bombing that almost killed his father? Does she truly have feelings for Andre? So many questions about Detective Pamela Rose. Lucious tells Thirsty to find out all he can about Pamela. Will her secret now become exposed to Lucious?  

Back at Jamaal's condo, he is listening to  his song Love is Drug. Unfortunately, Warren is on that track. He hears Warren's voice and slams his laptop. Jamaal ends up with a bottle of wine and some pills he has hidden in his kitchen. I can't believe he is about to relapse over this. No, no, no Jamaal. Don't give Diana what she want.

Hakeem and Shine end up in a suburban neighborhood. Looks like Shine had a family of his own. It appears Shine has some sister wives set up for his kids and kid's mothers.   He also has alot of kids. Three sets of kids with three different women. Wow Shine. However, he gives Hakeem some good advice. Never eat where you lay, never let anyone come between you and your kid, keep your business out the streets and the only real connection you will ever have is family. As Shine said, tattoo that on your eyelids. It makes a lot of sense to me. Hopefully that wisdom helps Hakeem 

Back to Jamaal. He is in his condo hurt and facing his biggest demon; his addiction. What he is listening to Love is a Drug and reminiscing about that moment with Warren. He really shouldn't be alone, but he kicked his parents out.  He loved Warren. He felt he was the one. Making that song was the moment Warren first said I love you.  Jamaal is truly hurt, but pills and alcohol won't erase the pain. Thank God, Jamaal tossed the pills. He took a drink instead even though drinking was apart of his rehab as well. A drink is better than popping pills, so I am not too mad at him for that.  However, I feel Warren and Jamaal can work this out. Yes, Warren's intentions started wrong. Yes, Warren lied to Jamaal. Once he realized his feelings for Jamaal was real; he should have confessed. The Lyons isn't angels so Jamaal can understand family loyalty, secrets, dysfunction and lies. I hope this isn't the end of Warren and Jamaal's relationship. 

He caused damage but not to the point it's unforgivable with time. Love is more powerful than revenge. Warren broke trust. Now if that's Jamaal's deal breaker; then yeah this couple is done. But, if Cookie can forgive Lucious for everything he has done, why can't that be the case for Jamaal and Warren? A Dubois in the Lyon's family would be kind of interesting.  

Cookie has face to face with Warren. She enters Warren's room with a loaded gun. She is loaded, cocked and aimed.  She tells Warren they are going to have a little talk while pointing a gun at his face. Cookie wants answers. Hopefully, Warren gives her answers. She told Warren he would tell the police he threw the first punch. Basically, self-defense to clear Jamaal of assault charges. Because Warren truly loves Jamaal, he agreed to do it. However, his quick response to agreement shocks Cookie. Cookie not new to this game but Warren assures her, she has his word. Cookie said, 'Like my son had your word when you said you loved him." Warren admits Jamaal was the love of his life and he lost him. He feels clearing his name is the least he can do for the hurt he caused. For the first time, Cookie sees Warren does love Jamaal. However, she not there to feel sorry for Warren. She is there for answers. Warren asked Cookie to do him a favor, but Cookie makes it clear; he not in a position to ask for favors. But I believe she will do a favor for Warren. You could see Cookie believe his sincerity. She puts the gun away, that says a lot. She also finds out what Diana has brewing for Andre; thanks to Warren. 

Hakeem visits Anika. Unfortunately, he gets told Anika isn't home; she is at her boyfriend's house. Anika and Angelo is a couple now? When did that happen? Was that the deal she made with Diana for her help with the custody hearing? Anika just loves having whatever Cookie loved. Lucious, Hakeem and now Angelo. Anika, Anika, Anika!! Do you want to go down with the Dubois? Please set Ma Leah free to handle Anika aka Boo Boo Kitty. Hakeem misses his daughter. What will he do to get his daughter back?

Warren gave Cookie the information she wanted. Cookie tells Andre and Lucious that Diana was messing with his mind. The doctor Andre sees works for Diana. Andre was shocked to hear that. He gives Cookie the higher dose pills that were prescribed for him to take. Apparently, Diana had something heavy on the doctor for him to risk his career for her. Cookie drills Andre to remember what he told the doctor. The doctor has had Andre so high off them pills; he doesn't know what he told the doctor. All he remembers is telling the doctor he couldn't get an erection. Andre is happy to find out Pamela isn't playing with his heart. Cookie tells Andre to get a new doctor as soon as possible. Yes, he needs a new doctor. Andre is off the chain when off his meds. However, he just focused on fixing things with Pamela. He takes off to find Pamela. Cookie has another flashback to jail. She is looking for Pound Cake, and she questions the CO that got her pregnant. Pound Cake was forced to give up her daughter. Cookie promise to make the CO-pays. This flashback is because Diana is destroying everything she loves; her kids.  The same thing the CO need to Pound Cake.

Hakeem shows up to check on Jamaal. He can't believe his brother is drinking. Jamaal doesn't want a lecture and Hakeem agrees he is not trying to give him one. Hakeem tells Jamaal about Anika moving in with Angelo. He doesn't want to watch another man raise his daughter. Hakeem doesn't want to watch Jamal drink his self to death over Warren aka Trick. Jamaal has Love is a Drug playing. Hakeem like hell no when he hears Warren's voice. He erases Warren's verses off the track. Birthed is another hit from Jamaal and Hakeem. I swear when them two do a song together it's always fire. I love "Trapped." Yassss! It feels good seeing Jamaal and Hakeem together, doing music and being brothers regardless of the Dubois war. 

The last 15 mins of this episode revealed the best OMG moment this season could ever have. Then again, this was the best OMG moment of the entire series of Empire.

Andre is at his place calling Pamela. He is apologizing for everything he said. He wants to explain everything to her. He tells her how much he needs her. Then, there is a knock at the door. It's Pamela. She comes in and puts a gun on the table. Apparently, the gun is the weapon she used to kill the unarmed suspect. Pamela tells him to turn her in. Andre asked, "why would I do that?" Andre tries to explain, but she plays on the fact she did something awful and got away with it. She tells Andre he doesn't understand how it feels to carry a huge secret of guilt. At this moment I was yelling at the TV, "don't you tell her nothing, Andre." In my eyes, Pamela can't be trusted. She is only in Andre's life to find out who is responsible for the car bombing. Apart from me feels, she already knows Andre is behind it; however, she has no proof. She needs a confession from Andre. Andre is about to give her what she wants.... a confession. 

Thirsty arrives at Lucious mansion with some awkward news. Apparently, Pamela Rose isn't a cop. She has never been heard of in the NYPD. So who is Pamela? Is she a Dubois after all? Cookie calls Andre but he doesn't answer. Her and Lucious heads to Andre's apartment. 

Back at Andre's apartment, he let his feelings for Pamela cloud his judgement. He confess to the car bombing. Nooooo!!!! The look on Pamela's face said it all. As Andre tells her, " we understand each other". She responds with ....

Pamela makes her own confession. WTH? I knew it! She confesses to being an undercover cop, working for Las Vegas police. She has been after Andre all this time. She calls Andre the dumbest criminal. She admits to knowing about the car bombing and all the details behind it. She points a gun at Andre and tells him he is under arrest. Andre loses his mind. He attacks Pamela. Pamela ends up dead. Andre is freaking out. He is trying to revive her, but she is dead. Then comes a knock at the door. It's Cookie and Lucious.

Cookie and Lucious let themselves in Andre's apartment. They find Andre very hysterical and tripping out. He is rambling about killing her, trusting her and saying she was no good for me. He tells Cookie, she was right. She was a cop, and she was lying to me. Lucious tells him to calm down. He tries to help Andre. Andre yells, "how you going to help me Pop." For the first time Dwight, not Lucious, see Andre in a bipolar episode. The look on Lucious face was like amazement and unbelievable. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He never saw Andre like this before. Andre tells Lucious, "Look at what I did. Look at what I did". He tells Cookie, "I am sorry ma. I didn't mean to hurt her". Cookie tells Andre, "It's going to be okay." Andre just keeps saying, I killed her. I am a murderer." Cookie moves the curtains. Now, I am thinking she is going to use the curtain to cover and dispose of the body. But then, Lucious tells Andre...

OMG!!!! My mouth hit the floor.  What just happened? What is going on? Then Cookie starts yelling, "There is nothing there Andre." I was so confused for a second. What about you?  Cookie gets through to Andre. She finally gets him to see there is no dead body on his floor. Andre looks around. He is confused as ever. OMG!!! Diana Dubois didn't mess with Andre's heart. She messed with his mind. Pamela isn't real. All this time, the guilt of trying to kill his father and his meds being tampered with caused Andre to go insane. All this time we saw a figment of his imagination. Cookie and Lucious stared at their son, who is lost and trapped in his mind. They see him on the floor, in tears and confuse. They see him as a victim of Diana Dubois revenge against Cookie. This entire scene explains why this episode was called "Cupid Painted Blind." Diana Dubois just elevated her gangsta.  At the same time, Diana Dubois just went too far.

Diana Dubois has to go down. Hakeem can get his daughter back. Jamaal can get over a broken heart and love again. Andre may never get his sanity back. Was Angelo losing his career and getting his heart broke worth that kind of destruction? I don't think so. What is Cookie and Lucious next move? Was seeing Andre out his mind enough courage to bring Lucious entirely back to himself? Stay tuned in because the fall finale is this Wednesday, December 13. Does Diana finally get exposed to her two faces? I can't wait until Wednesday. Hail to the Empire.

#Empire S3 Ep14: Love Is A Smoke Recap & Review

After a week of no Empire, we had our Wednesday night drama back. I must give this episode a (10) rating. Taye Diggs elevated his character. Phylicia Rashad was a bad ass. Taraji P. Henson brings it. Serahyah aka Tiana gives a seductive dance. Terrence Howard portrays Lucious as a real top dog. Lucious wins again. This episode had my full attention. Let's recap.

We get to see Giuliana and Lucious history. We see a flashback of a moment he shared with Giuliana. Lucious was playing the piano and Giuliana was watching. Lucious flashback was interrupted by Cookie. Lucious was listening to a song he wrote for Giuliana. Cookie thought the song was beautiful. Cookie told Lucious that Angelo is preparing to propose to her. Lucious knows Cookie is fooling herself. He gave Cookie his blessing and agreed to fall back from her.  Lucious tells Cookie he needs her help talking to Andre about the Vegas deal. The deal has already been put into motions, but Lucious says Cookie; that Giuliana is a very dangerous woman. Giuliana has a mission of her own whatever it is; I see nothing but more trouble for the Lyons clan. 

Andre, Shine, and Giuliana are having a meeting. Tori suppose to be in this session, but she is not there. Shine doesn't understand why the need Tori's help. However,  Giuliana reminds him that the meeting she has with the head of the Vegas commission is coming. If this deal doesn't prove valuable, Empire gets no gaming license. Tori finally arrives (2) hours late and with attitude. Giuliana introduces herself to Tori. Andre asked Tori to write a song for Nessa. Tori tells them (Andre, Shine, and Giuliana) that Lucious has her busy Inferno.  Giuliana suggests Lucious and Tori do a song together. Andre quickly says hell no. Giuliana tells Andre don't interrupt her while she is speaking. She knows what she is doing. It sounds more like Giuliana has a hidden agenda. It looks like Shine knows it too. Tori agrees to write the song for Nessa. Andre asked Giuliana what the deal with her and his father is. She claimed her and Lucious met before, but it's clear he doesn't remember her. Shine reminds Giuliana that Lucious has nothing to do with this Vegas deal. The deal is with him and Andre. Funny, Giuliana called him Shiney. Lmao. Nia Long is indeed playing this role so well.

Jamaal is in the studio. Angelo visit him about proposing to Cookie. Jamaal gives his blessings and assures Angelo there is no more Lucious and Cookie.  

Andre introduce Giuliana to Cookie. Cookie feels she met Giuliana before but Giuliana says no. Her attention quickly goes to Lucious. However, Cookie has met her before at the hair salon. It wasn't a proper introduction but their path had crossed. Giuliana mentioned Lucious looking good like the first time they met. We get a flashback of Giuliana and Lucious meeting at a casino. They both shared some flirting. Cookie asked did they know each other. Lucious admits they meet along time again. He tells Giuliana he is surprised Raphael let you loose because he normally keeps a tight leash on you. Shocking to Shine, he asked Giuliana about Lucious knowing Raphael. Cookie then asked, "Who is Raphael?" Lucious notice Shine is referring to Raphael in past tense. He answered Cookie's question. He explained Raphael Green was a big corrupt player in Vegas. He explains Giuliana was his wife and his family will not conduct any business with her. Cookie looks at Giuliana saying, "I know we met. She tells Andre they will talk and walks off." Will this Vegas deal happen or not?

Cookie has a dinner with Hakeem, Andre and Jamaal. Hakeem is in his feelings about Cookie marrying Angelo. Jamaal tells Hakeem it isn't about him. He said their mother is happy and over Lucious, that's what matter most. He decided to make the last track of his album about Cookie being happy and having the life her father wanted for her. Cookie asked Andre does she has his blessings. Andre said, "Yes." Andre wants something from his mother and brothers as well. He asked all of them to back his Vegas deal. Andre tries to sale them all by offering a visual album party on Extreme for the gaming commissioner. He said if all goes well, they would have broken in a town that Lucious been afraid to crack. Hakeem, Cookie and Jamaal faces didn't appear too happy about Andre's plan. 

Lucious and Thirsty questioned Shine about Giuliana and Raphael. Shine gets upset with Thirsty. He tells him the only reason he isn't snacking him is out of respect for Lucious. Lucious makes it clear to Shine,  any questions Thirsty asked is because he is asking them. The meeting is interrupted by Becky. Becky tells Lucious he needs to hear Tori in the studio. Shine said Thirstily and Lucious he doesn't  know what happened to Raphael; which is a lie. Lucious asked Shine to please find out what happen to Raphael. Shine already knows. Lucious is listening to Tori singing a song she wrote for Nessa. Becky tells Lucious the song was supposed to be a demo but listen to Tori's vocals. Lucious used this opportunity to burn Nessa. Lucious tells Becky to release this song tonight. Due to Hakeem and Tiana tension with Nessa and Andre, he tells Becky to get their help introducing the song. Shots fired!!!

Anika shows up at Tariq's apartment. She tells him she was careful coming there. Lucious and Cookie are listening to Anika and Tariq while Cookie plays with Bella. Anika is seducing Tariq while wearing a wire. Tariq admits to trying to take Cookie down could get his suspension lifted. Anika was shocked.  Lucious got what he needed to take Tariq down. Working on a case while suspended isn't the best move for Tariq. Angelo called asking Cookie why she wasn't home. She had to leave, but before she leaves, she asked Lucious is he going to make Anika family again. Lucious reply that Anika was never family. He confesses they were just freaky together. Cookie tells Lucious that her and Anika are the only two women that could handle him, but she is off the market. Lucious says, "You are a hard act to follow." Their conversation was interrupted by a phone call from Shine. Shine tells Lucious, he knows what happen to Raphael. However, it's something they need to discuss face to face. Shine is setting Lucious up for a secret meeting. Who was in the back seat of Shine's car? Who did he tell I can let you in? Cookie doesn't trust Shine. She says Lucious," if you need me to roll, just give me a pistol." Lucious doesn't feel Shine is a threat. He tells Cookie," You have a man who is about to propose to you and love you, go home."  Could Lucious be accepting Cookie has moved on? The real question is Cookie ready to go on? When she walked away from Lucious that wasn't a happy look. 

Cookie arrives home to Angelo. Angelo has wine and dinner waiting for Cookie. He asked Cookie to appear with him for a interview on a talk show.  He feels their appearance on the show will show the world that Cookie is with him not Lucious. Cookie thought this was the moment Angelina's about to propose. She played it off and agreed to go on the show. Why is Cookie lying to herself?

Lucious walks into his office only to have a gun pointed to his  head by Giuliana. She tells Lucious she doesn't want to shoot him. The gun was just to get Lucious attention and she has it now. We get a flashback moment of Lucious and Giuliana. Apparently, Lucious fell in love with Giuliana after Cookie went to jail. He was trying to close a ten million dollar deal in Vegas. The day of the deal, he was robbed of his cash and woman by Raphael. But, Lucious didn't know Giuliana was Raphael wife. She was apart of the set up. Lucious told Giuliana her burned alot bridges and crossed alot of friends to get that money. Giuliana tries to plead her case by saying she been through a lot. She explains how Raphael was a sick bastard. She claims Raphael was coming after Lucious again. Lucious doesn't care about her sad love story. He wants his ten million dollars. Giuliana doesn't have the money, so she say. She asked Lucious to sign off on the deal and she can get his money. She claimed to have killed Raphael to protect Lucious. That is some bull crap. She killed him to take over his business for herself. She tells Lucious, I'd he doesn't sign off on the deal; that wouldn't be good with the gaming commissioner for her and Andre. Sadly, Giuliana doesn't know she just gave a snake valuable information.

Anika sleeping and wearing a wire. Thirsty suppose to be listening but he is sleeping. Tariq is kissing all on Anika. She is trying to get this wire off of her before Tariq see it. Lucky for her, he gets a phone call. Anika was able to get up and get the wire off. He tells her everything is almost over. His phone call was a plan to meet another FBI agent. 

Hakeem and Tiana is happy about introducing a new track and screwing over Andre and Nessa at the same time. Tori Ash is introduce on Empire Live Extreme. After the recording, Jamaal walks into the studio. He sees all the alcohol and partying  he tells Tori she doesn't suppose to be around this lifestyle. Tori tells Jamaal she can handle herself. Tori throws her own shots at Jamaal by telling him, he can't handle competition not even from his own father. She walks off with a bottle of alcohol, grab a girl and leaves.  

Tariq walks into the hotel room expecting Agent Sweetwater but gets Lucious. He draws his gun on Lucious. Lucious isn't fazed by  pointed gun being aimed at him.​ He makes it clear that plenty of people knows he is there. "Put your gun down little brother.", Lucious said. Tariq wants to know where is Anika. Lucious drops the bomb on Tariq. "Who my wife? Who recorded every illegal move you was plotting against me.", Lucious told Tariq. Tariq was shock that Anika was wearing a wire. He was so sexually attracted to her that he wasn't focus. Lucious had offered Tariq the chance to be apart of the family but he turned him down. Therefore, Lucious gives Tariq a bag of money and told him to run. Lucious claimed he reported Tariq and the FBI was there to arrest him. He took the money and got out that hotel room. Lucious probably didn't call the FBI. 

Angelo does his interview with Cookie by his side. The question of Cookie and Angelo getting married was asked. Angelo proposed to Cookie on national television.  I only heard an oh my God but I think Angelo took that as a yes. He was placing the ring on her finger. Cookie looked more confuse and uncertain verses looking happy. ​Has Cookie realize Angelo isn't the man for her?​

Giuliana and Andre arrives, at Lavitaus. She tells Andre that Nessa can't messed this up. Andre assures her that Nessa will not mess up. Giuliana makes it clear to Andre that she made big promises for this deal. Andre said, "So did I Giuliana." Seems like Andre and Giuliana needs this deal to be sealed. What will happen if this deal doesn't happen?  Hmmmmmm!! Andre and Giuliana walks in the club to see Lucious talking to this woman. Looks like Lucious is ahead of the game. He has the club decorated and looking like a Vegas showgirl show about to happen. Giuliana asked Andre if he knew anything about this. Andre was clueless. Andre wants to know who was the woman with his father. Giuliana informs him that her name is Charlotte Frost. She is the most powerful person in Vegas. Giuliana approaches Lucious. He introduced Giuliana to Charlotte, who is the head of the gaming commission in Vegas. But, she knew that already. Lucious walks to Andre and tell him the him and Nessa is out. Has Lucious stole this deal from Andre? What will Andre next move be? Charlotte seems very impressed and interesting by what she sees. Lucious gives Giuliana all the credit for the live show. Did Giuliana cross Andre when she secretly had a meeting with Lucious? Giuliana calls Thirsty  to take care of their guest. She tells Lucious, you are full of surprises.  

Cookie and Angelo is in the dressing room. Cookie is upset for Angelo putting her on the spot. He tries to explain Jamaal said she would like that. Cookie starting to feel everything is happening to fast and too soon. She explains to Angelo how her relationship with Lucious killed her father. She has been trying to correct a mistake and be with the man her father wanted her to be with from the start. She tells Angelo, she still has feelings for Lucious and they shared one kissed. Angelo throws his mic and it's still on. Angelo gets do upset. He explains how he jeopardized the integrity of his campaign for her. He explains how he broke the law for her by getting Freda out of jail. He talks about help her with the illegal hand gun because she was on parole. All his secrets he is revealing for everyone to hear. Angelo did alot for Cookie because he loved her. To find out she still love Lucious has broke his heart. Angelo knew deep down Cookie still had feelings for Lucious. He saw what he wanted to see. Ms. Dubois enters the room and tells Angelo his mic is still on. His career has ended before it started. Wow. Angelo tells Cookie that her family is poison and called them all garbage. That was such a low blow. Nobody forced him to do anything he did for Cookie. Andre calling gave Cookie the dismissal she needed. When she left,  Ms. Dubois vowed to take the Lyon clan down and have them begging for a merciful death. I think she need to focus on fixing Angelo problem. The Lyon clan will stick together by any means necessary. Ms. Dubois said, "they are going down." I don't think she can handle that. New enemy for the Lyon family. Omg!!!! 

Lucious introduces Tori to the stage. Shine and Nessa can't believe what is happening. Nessa said, "First she steal my song and now she standing in my spotlight." She wanted to know if Shine knew about it. Shine didn't know and neither did Andre. Lucious was one step ahead of them, thanks to Shine helping Giuliana with that secret meeting.
