What do you think just happened to make Jamal, Hakeem and Tiana look so stressed out? Are Cookie and Lucious fighting in front of everyone again? Is Nessa prancing around, trying to steal the show? Did Anika bring the fed along to the celebration as a plus one?
It's always nice to see Jamal and Hakeem getting along. The two of them could create some great music together if they'd just stop feuding and competing for a moment.
It wouldn't be a Lyon family celebration without at least one person looking highly distraught about something. I'm going to assume it involves Nessa and Andre seeking revenge after these two crashed Nessa's showcase.
Serayah looks amazing as always, but i feel bad for the backup dancers who got stuck in those silly Statue of Liberty outfits. They look like they should be handing out flyers for discounted tour bus tickets on Fifth Avenue.
This shirt is hideous, plain and simple. Perhaps Jamal's birthday gift to his little brother was to make himself look like a total dork in comparison. There is no other excuse for wearing a shirt with glowing music notes on it.
This episode is set to feature Hakeem's 21st birthday party, which sounds guaranteed to be the most hilarious party imaginable. From this photo, I can see they've resurrected the excellent Hakeem version of the Empire logo for the occasion, of which I wholeheartedly approve.
Well, apparently Giuliana is as perpetually smug as Andre, so I'm sure they're going to get along like a house on fire. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to light someone's house on fire. I'd be even less surprised if said house belonged to Lucious.
This set of photos is disappointingly light on shots of Cookie dressed to the nines, so this one of her in a shaggy teal fur coat will have to suffice.
