After their bizarre encounter at the end of the premiere, I'm surprised that Cookie can handle being in the same room as Lucious right now. Hopefully they can put their drama aside, at least temporarily, for the sake of Jamal and his new music.
This is SUCH a quintessentially Cookie Lyon outfit. Only Cookie would be bold enough to wear not one, but two different leopard-print items of clothing, and pair them with a sporty gold hat that is so shiny you could probably reapply your lipstick by using it as a mirror. I ache with envy of her fabulousness.
I really enjoyed Rumer Willis's debut as Jamal's snarky rehab buddy-turned-musical collaborator, Tory Ash. It looks like she's set to play a pretty big role in Jamal's musical rebirth post-rehab. I'm excited to hear how her smoky, bluesy voice and vibe influence his sound.
Lucious seems to have recovered just fine from Cookie's passionate bout of bat-wielding. Will he set out to destroy her for what she did, or will he try to win her back instead? Knowing Lucious, he'll somehow try to do both.
Okay, look...I have no predictions or insights to offer based on this image. This is just two random members of the Lyon family together in the same photo. I don't know what they're up to, but since it's the Lyons, I'm sure it's not good.
Becky might have vanquished one enemy in the form of Xavier, but now it's Anika who stands in the way of her and the head of A&R job at Empire. Will she take a page out of Thirsty's book and try to sabotage her new boss?
Hakeem and Tiana successfully stole some spotlight from Nessa thanks to their surprise appearance at her music showcase performance, but you know they won't be satisfied with that alone. Things can only get more heated from here, especially after Nessa and Tiana's big fight.
Aw, aren't they sweet together? They look so peaceful and contented, I hate to think of what would happen if Angelo found out about Cookie's abbreviated dalliance with Lucious.
D-Major may be fine, but he's also a bad influence on Jamal, and an enable of his drug use. Here's to hoping Jamal will be spending less time with him and more time with Philip when the show returns.
I don't think devious Lucious has ever looked more at home than in front of a wall of fire bearing the word Inferno. Perhaps this is foreshadowing the hellish fate Andre has in store for him?
Where do you think that blood on Lucious' head came from? Cookie's baseball bat? Shyne's cronies? Tariq's FBI colleagues? Whatever the answer, one thing is for sure: Lucious will make sure the perpetrator pays.
Cookie is so unbelievably fierce. I have serious envy of her entire ensemble here, not to mention her ability to stomp around so forcefully in those spiky heels. If that was me, I'd end up accidentally breaking an ankle instead of Lucious' gold records.
