Anika's shade was good though. So good that it shut Cookie up. She held her own

YAS. Don't get me wrong -- I love me some Cookie. But, damn, Anika shut it down with that comment.

For the sake of story and interest, I want Anika to get even better.

Hell, yes! I saw nothing wrong with that at all. He's probably completely unstable when he's off his meds. Who knows how many times she's dealt with his issues in the past? It's not like he just has a touch of depression.

Exactly! Especially if she's dealt with this many times. You do what you gotta do (especially since, clearly, there's money and status involved for her).

DIVORCE? But she's too much of a gold digger for that, I'm sure. Cookie WILL step in in due time.

Maybe, but maybe she just doesn't want to see him go down the rabbit hole again and she's basically telling him that she's going to force him to get help if he does. I don't know, divorce seems the much colder reaction to a spouse refusing to take their meds, especially when bipolar people are infamous for refusing meds. It's part of the disease.

So far, Rhonda isn’t one of my favorites on this show, but I think that she does love Andre. I think that her threatening to have him committed, is because she cares about him. Her and Cookie seemed to get along okay, heck she treated Cookie more respectfully in this episode than Hakeem has treated her so far.

I was disappointed that he didn’t really have much of a reaction when the rapper was talking trash to his mother. He just kind of stood there while the man threatened and cursed at his mother. (Lucious acted trifling in that scenes as well), I think that Andre could have stood up for his mother. The only one that stood up for Cookie in that scene in the elevator was Vernon. I think he stood up for her, when she went into the office and was exchanging insults with the rapper as well.

Yes, it was interesting that Cookie and Rhonda seem to get along, unless Cookie was just using her.

Was it Vernon who defended Cookie, or Andre? I thought it was Vernon originally, but then Andre was looking at FoFo like he was one second away from beating him and Cookie gave him that look... Maybe it was both lol

I would have done the exact same thing: You're taking your meds whether you like it or not!

I'm surprised Anika hasn't had a child with Luscious as a means of holding on to money and power.

I think that she could end up getting pregnant later on. I could see a storyline where she ends up finding out she's pregnant after her and Lucious break up/he realizes he still loves Cookie. He could leave her for Cookie, only to find out that she's pregnant with his baby, and she uses that child to try and get a share of Empire.

I CANNOOOOTTTTTT!!!!

I think she probably realizes she needs Andrea mentally strong and on top of his game to hold onto the status and money.

For me as well, although Hakeem is coming up fast. lol

Yes, that was amazing. She also happens to be right. Listening to his wife does not make a man a "pus$y"

Threatening to have the man committed while he just stands there and takes it does make him a pu$$y. I personally would not have found that particularly tolerable, but that's just me.

I wish Hakeem was wearing me during this performance instead of that thick braid of gold.

Again, DIVORCE the alleged problem that you're married to. It's very easy!

Ha! Yes, let him go completely insane, put his life and others in danger (maybe even worse) and get that divorce.

THAT'S the response!

I think that Cookie may have thought that Rhonda was okay. I think she might make comments here and there about her to Andre or whoever, but I think that for now, they might get along alright. Especially if Rhonda continues to try and help her like she did on tonight's episode.

Also, I think that Vernon was the only one that really defended Cookie. He defended her twice, once in the office, and in the elevator I thought that Andre didn’t really do anything, he just kind of look like there was drama but I don’t think he said anything. I can’t say I’m really surprised that Lucious didn’t really defend her, but I thought that Andre could have stood up for his mama more. Jamal defended their mother to Hakeem, I think that Andre could have defended her to the rapper.

Well, Rhonda is helping Cookie because, for now, helping Cookie = going against Hakeem. But I see what you're saying and I'm actually hoping that Cookie gets along with at least her, since she has such contentious relationships with almost everyone else.

Also, it was good to see Rhonda working and doing it well, instead of just being the pill-pushing, bib-wearing slore.

You're probably right that it was Vernon. I remember thinking there ought to have been more defending. No matter what their personal history is, this is some random guy insulting your ex/mom.

Ha! Yes, let him go completely insane, put his life and others in danger (maybe even worse) and get that divorce.

Stay with him and put HER life in danger? I would say that the bimbo doesn't care very much about HERSELF does she? The bling bling and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ drives her.

If he takes his medication like he ought to, everyone will be fine and she can live to suck d-ck while wearing a bib for yet another day!

I knew Fox going to do something to turn me off of them. I bet they would never do that if Bush was in charge.

Anyway., I think Cookie is feeling out Anika. How do you talk back to a bitch that just got out of Jail.

Another thing Anika wasn't saying that when she was about to catch a Solange in the elevator. She was hiding right behind Lucious.
