Whatever Rhonda is saying, Jamal is listening to her intently. Surely she's not sharing her deepest, darkest secret. When will that come back to bite her in the ass?
Is she a hot mama or what? Cookie is trying to make her own dreams come true by forging forward with her own label and two of her sons by her side. It's her time, dammit. Her time!
It's good to see Hakeem and Jamal together, but damn...they have some sour looks on their faces, right? So what's happening in this conversation? We will learn that Jamal is just as tough as his father when making business moves.
Cookie tries to intervene with Hakeem and Tiana. Will she be able to talk some sense into the two of them so they can work together? Is she the voice of reason?
Tiana isn't all that interested in Hakeem's fresh ideas for the new label. Will she be able to jump on board or will Hakeem have to look elsewhere? Surely, Tiana is a team player, right?
Hakeem has ideas of his own for the record label he's creating with Cookie and Andre. Do they include making his own music? Of course! But that's not all he's about anymore.
Cookie wants to start a small label with Dre and Hakeem. Their opposing visions promise a bumpy ride for the trio. Will the label ever get started? Ha. Does Cookie ever give up?
Lucious is going to find himself in a bit of hot water when he rubs Officer McKnight the wrong way. Lucious does what he wants, and he doesn't have all the power in this situation.
Even corrections officers get a break sometime, and it appears that Officer McKnight is taking a little breather. Just a reminder, Officer McKnight is portrayed by guest star Chris "Lucacris" Bridges.
Jamal and Cookie may not be super close at the moment, but Cookie knows Jamal like no other. Will they eventually break down, and who will do it first?
During Empire Season 1, when Cookie and Michael were in a room together, hilarity ensued. Hopefully, we'll get some sparks flying again during this scene!
