You ever think about incorporating the word into your music? You can reach a lot more people with the light than you can with the darkness, brother. One artist in particular, J Poppa, caught Andre's eye, when he realized they had something in common: the bible. That meant meeting with all the artists and seeing if they were up to his standard. Could he be on Thirsty's payroll?Įlsewhere, Andre was being Andre and trying to get Gutter Life (is Empire officially done?) into tip top shape. I really want to know what Delgado's agenda is. And as they were disrobing, we got a clear shot of Delgado's back and the same bull horns tattoos the kidnappers had! No, no, no! Why can't Cookie ever have nice things? His suggestion to hire the men who kidnapped Hakeem should have been my first red flag, but dammit if I wasn't blinded by that smile!Ĭookie was clearly smitten too, as she eventually ended up in his arms. When Cookie wasn't doing her best to be a good mother to her boys, she was going back to hunky Delgado and looking for extra security. They've all get their issues (and who wouldn't with Lucious Lyon as a father) but I do believe at the end of the day they know what brotherly love is. How great is it when the three brothers share a scene? My favorite relationship on this show will forever be Jamal and Hakeem's, but I like when Andre is included as well. I've thoroughly enjoyed Hakeem through these first few episodes, so I'm hopeful he leans on Cookie and his brothers and is able to get through the trauma of the kidnapping. Hakeem: Can't be worse than the nightmare of being your son.

Lucious: No, what happened to you, son, is my worst nightmare. Cleary reeling and emotionally scarred from the encounter, the last thing Hakeem wanted to do was rehash his ordeal or be around the family that was suddenly acting like the Brady Bunch. Unless I'm missing something and their encounter is going to play a bigger role down the line.Īnyway, once Hakeem did reunite with his family, he was not in a warm and fuzzy mood. Anika has been a non-factor in Empire Season 2 and this just seemed like a way to get her into an episode. Oh no, he went to.Anika's house? Yeah, I don't know why he did that either. But Hakeem wasn't reunited with his parents right away.
