I need a triple dose of heart meds. That hour flew by. I need more

[Particular]

This show always makes me feel so many emotions! Talk about a roller coaster. I need 7 days to go by fast!

[NothinButAttitude]

It did fly by, but damn I don't think my heart can take anymore tonight. It was just too juicy. And when Lucious displayed his disgust for Andre marrying Rhonda.... All I could do is....

He straight annihilated and crushed Andre's dream in one swoop.

When Jamal came out

When Cookie read Naomi DOWN

When my husband put that gun to his head

When I saw the preview for next week

[MoTheGreat]

I kind of figure Anika was cheating too.

If Anika doesn't stay on, I got a feeling Cookie real rivalry is going to come from Lucious other baby mother.

[NothinButAttitude]

OK!

I need a Life Alert after tonight too.

[ChitHappens]

OMG! I'm in tears!

I thought those were some powerful scenes between Andre and Lucious towards the end of tonight's episode. He really did lay into Andre verbally. I think he's more angry with Andre plotting behind his back than he was with Jamal coming out. He at least believes Jamal loves the family/music, and he doesn't really feel that way about Andre.

[NothinButAttitude]

It was powerful but it made a lot of sense. Wasn't Lucious' family once upon a time part of Nation of Islam? It would make sense why he is totally against interracial marriage. I also think that he chewed into Andre b/c Andre seems to be that black male that yearns for white acceptance in everything that he does, so that would piss Lucious off.

This show is just too perfect!

I hope their hiatus isn't long. I need this show to come back in the summer but I bet it'll be coming back in the fall.

I remember Cookie saying something like the Nation had killed Lucious's father. I wonder what the whole story is behind that.

I could see how he could have the feelings he does regarding Andre, including the reasons you mentioned. Lucious seems to be the type of man that is really set in his ways, and he will say whatever he really feels, right or wrong.I think that Lucious has had those feelings bottled up for a while regarding Andre/Rhonda and Andre in general. I think that he he just never really said anything about it before, but now that he realized Andre has plotted against him, he let those feeling come to the surface.

Even though this is a soap, and it's going to have it's share of plotting and scheming, I am actually am glad that Lucious is sharp enough that he could sense what Andre was up to. I think that him being sharp like that helps strengthen his position as the Patriarch on this show.

Andre literally stole tonights show....just devastated for him...the scene in the studio. My heart was in my chest. Me and my friends were literally freaking out.

[Juliajms]

You crack me up. I actually did think Rhonda had it in her, but I'm sure glad we didn't have to watch.

One thing I wonder is why Cookie got 30 years in what looked like maximum security. That seems awfully harsh just for selling drugs. Not that I don't take drug dealing seriously, but that's basically life in prison.

That part I was confused about....so did Rhonda sleep with the nasty old guy or not? And I thought Andre was saying the wife was the one who was attracted to blonde girls.

The scene in the car was very moving though.

[MoTheGreat]

Would a old ass man want somebody who throwing up be riding him? He probably the one who turn her down.
