I thougt the exact same. Also the cadence in Howard's line delivery was remeniscent of Hagman's JR. He was marvelous. So was TPH. That was the episode I've been waiting on. Reminded me so much of last season's greatness

Yes, and I don't compare anyone to The Great JR Ewing lightly, but I was in awe!!!!!

 

At the end when he told them "y'all keep acting like y'all don't know who I am", I was done.  That was so damn good and its something I say weekly when folks act surprise when Luscious does some dirty shi!t.  Why are they surprised?  Then folks want to act like Cookie ho ass is a victim when she busted up Luscious' party at Leviticus?  How quickly we forget.  Luscious is just much better at being bad!  

 

Can Valentina get shot, please?  Who is Becky G and why should I GAF?

I didn't think of that but it'd be great. Fre should find out that Luscious killed her father and that Cookie basically asked him to. These things can not just be left dangling. It must come out. 

Cookie isn't a victim. She can hold her own against Lucious. However, I do like that they give Cookie more heart than him. A matriarch should have heart and care about holding her family together. I thought it was great when Cookie wanted for Andre what he wanted for himself (going back to Empire) although it wasn't what was best for her and her company. 

I do have one gripe though. Lucious can win them all. Otherwise the show will cease being interesting. Cookie must win sometimes. 

We got Becky G caucause Latino whined sboutsvsboutsvng more if a presensepresence on the show and it's economically advantageous for show runners to listen. Trying to increase the Latino share.

My mouth literally was on the floor in shock. The dialogue was so on point this episode and I loved it all from start to finish. Andre though is really coming across as pathetic with this desperate need to get back into Empire. Boy get a hint and move on.

 

Lucious scared me when he hugged him and then called him out lol.

    • I absolutely loved the last few episodes—devoured them! If Trisha and Ambyr’s performances aren’t Emmy-worthy, I don’t know what is. I wasn’t bothered by the lawyer girl not being at the gala from the start, or the grandkids being absent, or Vanessa being MIA. It just goes to show how unnecessarily huge the Dupree family is. And like Toups said, you can’t cram the entire cast into a single episode. Oh and the cue when Leslie was having that fantasy was epic, very DAYS-like. They should keep it and develop it   Minor nitpicks: Yeah, Ted seriously needs a recast—been saying that since day one. I still don’t know where he stands, and he just comes off as a generic nice guy. Not having Ted and Bill share a single scene since the show started? Huge missed opportunity. And not having Leslie get anywhere near Bill in one of her wigs? Another big miss. It really weakened the impact of her big reveal about Bill’s involvement. Now it just feels a bit like fan fiction. I’m totally confused by Vanessa and Doug’s “arrangement.” One moment it seems like they’re in an open relationship, and the next Vanessa acts completely shocked when Doug so much as hints at her “distractions.” Huh? Can anyone explain what’s going on there?
    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
