The whole idea that Cookie got that guy killed really made me uncomfortable. If there's going to be no fallout for it, there was no point in having that brief, cutaway scene at all.

I liked the song Jamal did for Sway, and I honestly think his style/voice is more suited for R&B than hip hop. That "dolla dolla bills y'all" song is annoying as hell, and I really wasn't crazy about No Apologies.

I'll just keep saying that Hakeem is not cute, but damn his body is on point, and I love his voice.

Raven's character looks like she'll be a Sammy Jo.

Oh, I'm sure there will be fallout down the road. If nothing else, I can see her BIL trying to shake her down. So often TV shows make the Feds look like idiots, but I don't think Empire is doing that, which tells me that the FBI will know that Cookie played a role in that hit.

The Lyon brothers cover Dire Straits' classic "Money for Nothing" for this week's episode.

Taraji is on The View today. She is so humble. She made sure to thank her cast and humbly reminded Whoopi that thought she is grateful it takes a team effort to pull Cookie off.

Damn! I would love to see that.

I'm always happy when I hear that an actor I like has class. It probably shouldn't wreck my enjoyment when I hear they are entitled and rude, but it almost always does.

#EmpireWednesdays

I love me some Cookie. TPH is amazing and WB/POI should be ashamed for firing her last year. The show is great. The cast is surprisingly strong with only couple of really weak links (Hakeem & Michael) - even minor characters like Camilla & Porsha are interesting. I loved the "Baby Momma" twist at the end of last week. Completely unexpected. Will be interesting how they use that to push Jamal and avoid the gay issue when marketing him.

Anyway, I hope this doesn't go the way of The OC, too much too soon. I believe FOX will cap at 16-18 episodes and they will air with AI in January-May.

Andre must have a hard on when he found out that Jamal & Hakeem isn't getting along.

Cookie, your not his wife & your not his girlfriend.

Lucious can't show that he's sick or weak.

Hakeem must really like Camilla but I want Takeem & her girlfriend.

Becky got a crush on Derek Luke character.

& Olivia is a bad parent.

This hussy already had my husband's baby and now she leaving the poor child stray!! Let me call Child Services on this broad.

Ya'll don't live post? 17 minutes in and so much has happened. What's her face played by Raven apparently abandoned her daughter. Cookie set Lucious straight since he chose his side piece fiance over the ex-wife that gave him three kids and a company to fight for. Jamal lost his boo because he couldn't say he had a special someone in his life as what's his face packed up and left. the. ghetto.

Cookie please be careful how you speak to Porsha.

Jamal & Olivia was married,& they slept together.

Aww, Jamal & Lucious had a father and son moment.

Ugh I love Luscious' ass flaws and all. As f-cked up as he is he does love Jamal.

LOVE IT! Matthew McConaughey shilling the Lincoln MKC during commercial breaks as Jamal drives off with the Empire 4 license platted black Lincoln MKC during the show. Ha ha.

Lucious showing that despite not agreeing with his son's sexuality, he ultimately loves his son through and through. Character driven storylines on a soap, even one that airs one episode per week? 'I'm 'lovin it!
