BestestAuntEver February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Damn, that looks really good. I've wondered what type of story the would do with Courtney Love and those clips look promising. Damn, now I am ready for the episode. TPH looks amazing. 1 Link to comment

Ohwell February 13, 2015 Share February 13, 2015 That scene with Cookie and Naomi Campbell is funny as hell because Naomi is as crazy (or crazier) in real life as Cookie is on Empire. 3 Link to comment

CofCinci February 24, 2015 Share February 24, 2015 I love how generous they are with the previews. That flashback almost made me cry. 3 Link to comment
aprilbabe February 24, 2015 Author Share February 24, 2015 Anika's dad is an idiot for signing that agreement before they were married. Lucious face when Anika asked about Cookie. Deer in headlights. From promos it seems like he actually does have the intention of leaving Anika for Cookie or at least did 1 Link to comment
tmelange February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 CofCinci I was all teared up too! That's a sad scene right there. Poor babies don't know what's going on. Crime doesn't pay. 1 Link to comment
wanderingstar February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Echoing both tmelange and CofCinci - I wasn't prepared for how heartbreaking that flashback is. 1 Link to comment
CofCinci February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 (edited) They should show that clip of Cookie saying goodbye to at-risk youth instead of Scared Straight. And then show that clip of Andre standing in the dark corner depressed while his musical family sing-bonds without him to families that don't treat their children evenly. Edited February 25, 2015 by CofCinci 2 Link to comment
tmelange February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 (edited) They need to provide some valid reason for the disparate treatment of Andre. He's highly accomplished; it can't be that they just disregard him because he's not musically inclined. I can see Lucious doing that, but Cookie too? It's really heartbreaking to see such blatant favoritism. (Even tho I think Andre hates his brothers, and he strikes me as one high-pressure situation from a nuclear meltdown.)

SimoneS February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Great sneak peeks. I cannot wait for tonight's episode. Here is a sneak peek of Jamal with Ryan who seems to be his new love interest. http://www.thebacklot.com/empire-exclusive-clip-has-jamal-found-a-new-man-already/02/2015/ 1 Link to comment
politichick February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 i feel like andre sets himself apart from them. he's way older than hakeem and what do they actually have in common? jamal was maybe in high school when andre went off to college. if not for this family business he probably would never see them, which is sad, but happens. it was sad to see him looking on, but i don't think they would have cast him aside if he wanted to join in. Link to comment
dirtypop90 February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 nah I blame lucious and cookie. I find their treatment of andre to be spot on what I've witnessed growing up in a low-income AA community. I frequently saw parents showing favoritism to their musically inclined or athletically inclined kids over their smart kids. Lucious and cookie remind me of the parents that didn't even care to check report cards. If you grow up in a family where education really isn't valued and your brother is the star point guard and you're just a straight A student, guess who gets the most love and attention? Happens all the time Link to comment
politichick February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Jamal and Hakeem may have more in common with their father, but I still think the age gap makes a huge difference in their closeness. 1 Link to comment
aprilbabe February 25, 2015 Author Share February 25, 2015 It weird I don't know if its intentional, but even in the flashback Andre seemed distant from the rest of the family. Baby Hakeem was cooing at him and he was stoic. His mom could possibly be going away for a long time and he's on the floor reading a book. While jamal is crying. 1 Link to comment

Jazzy24 February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 Poor Andre. I worry for him in the next episode. Him calling for his wife while they are restraining him made me sad. I wonder where Cookie is during all this. 1 Link to comment
Dusty February 27, 2015 Share February 27, 2015 Him calling for his wife while they are restraining him made me sad. I wonder where Cookie is during all this. Oh that got to me too. It looked like she's going to be in the room when this all happens. I wonder if she tells them that he's bipolar and set up an intervention of sorts. Probably would've been better to do it in it a place where the walls weren't all glass. Doesn't exactly lend itself to privacy. On a lighter note the "Sshhhe buh buh buh. Oh now you can't speak English!" had me laughing so much. 1 Link to comment

I don't think she sets up an intervention in the building I think Andre just goes off and they keep him in the room until they call someone(it seems like there is medical help there)to come calm him down. And Lucious comes trying to help. Cookie is love. Link to comment

She was so full of herself (Anika was) when she showed off her foreign linguistics to Cookie, but now she is caught and can't string together a coherent sentence in English. TOO FUNNY! I can't wait to see the next episode! Unto the Breach first look Uh oh! or Ruh Roh!! Did I just see Anika get in the car with Baretti?! GASP! I guess Cookie won - if she wants him back.
