While on a road trip, Cookie, Candace and Carol take a painful trip down memory lane; Lucious uses something special from the past to help give Yana her big break; Teri becomes increasingly more fearful of Andre.

Apparently I've missed a lot. Andre has a son, and he was the image on the show title card. He seems a little...evil?

I thought Gabourey had slimmed down?

Anyone i watching? Guess I need to go read a wiki synopsis.

I forgot what happened to their mama...she just left, or did she die or something?

Chile somebody better help Andre :unsure:

It's too much. He's going to self-destruct. I think that's what Kingsley wants since Andre got to live the life that he thought he should've had as Lucious's oldest child. He's so bent on proving to his daddy that he's better that it's going to destroy him.

So Carol and Candace were trying to rat out Lucius but Cookie got caught up and locked up instead.

Is that what got Carol on the drugs? The guilt from it all?

First time I've watched this in a couple of seasons. Really just trying to see the finale of the whole thing whenever that is. This is painful to watch. It's a mess.

I think Carol got on drugs when she was with the boyfriend and it got worse after Cookie killed him

No, she got strung out after her baby daddy got murdered. A few episodes back, it was revealed that Cookie was the one that shot him after she went to confront him about beating Carol.

Who is this woman singing? I like her voice.

Oh wait, how old is her character supposed to be? I thought she was supposed to be young.

Trai Byers is playing his part frfr because he's scaring me.

Why is Lucious still holding on to letters he wrote for Cookie?

Those letters should have been given to her when they reconciled. I guess the writers are looking for a way to bring them back together again, but it's corny and lazy.

Andre needs to be committed. I think Andre still feels some guilt over Kingsley's death and having his heart. The Kingsley persona is basically the side that real Kingsley felt last season - neglected and forgotten by Lucious. It's crazy how Andre and Kingsley are so much alike. Jamal and Hakeem were so close because they both had musical talent. Andre and Kingsley could have worked well because they both felt not important to Lucious and both were business savvy Ivy League men. The writers missed the boat with that, so we got this Andre D.I.D storyline instead.

This!!! They never should have killed off Kingsley's character. AZ Kelsey (Kingsley) and Trai Byers (Andre) play well off of each other, much like Hakeem and Jamal. I think the actors in real life went to school together so they have history together anyway. In any case, this whole DID storyline is making ME crazy but it is showing that Trai is a great actor. I hope he can get him some good roles after Empire.

Welp predicted this in earlier post Tiana bad acting was on full display and Mario was More believable as feeling betrayed he deserves better, not saying treasure is but i could see them hooking up and liking each other eventually. Guess porshe found a new job as she was not on today episode. Teri had no real clue what she was getting into with this nut. Andre is a trip and htf did he know Tiana screwed hakeem, and the gimp legged sister was a new low I'm not excusing Kingsley shytt no more Andre realizes what is happening and his big dumb trifling self won't seek inpatient help. Bet when he finally gets committed involuntarily I'm 100% sure he'll get helped and Teri will be finished with his azz and have sole custody with Andre only getting supervised visits twice a week. She really needs to just go ahead and tell cookie and lucious, this ninja whooping his artists azz and threatening the other one, I need season 3 lucious back now to take empire back Andre does not deserve and can't handle it with his mentally unstable azz, I rather see Hakeem get it at this point. I laughed though when Terri said we made it, bish really thought. He is out of control I don't care how bomb his piece is it will not overcome this bullshytt. Please let him get permanent residence in nut house his son and Teri will be better off and the company. Bye ninja.

I'm hating this story line for Andre. I keep thinking Kingsley is going to kill Terri or even a murder/suicide. The writer's are no good for this...

Carol might be a drug addict but she was telling the truth about who everybody is and trying to change somebody...

I dunno...maybe it was just me but I felt it was kinda gross seeing Lucious with that young woman who is old enough to be his daughter...ughhhh

I'm glad Mario dumped Tiana but I did kinda like that "breakup song" lol...

Lawd how many more episodes before this is over?

There are six episodes left. I'm not sure why they just didn't following the 18 episode format. I don't see why there's a need for two additional episodes.

Carol's lowdown abusive boyfriend Dorrell got her hooked.

They added the extra two episodes to get Empire to 100 episodes for syndication.

Man, is it hard sitting through these last episodes. I mean, where's the growth to most of these characters?

Two extra episodes puts them at 104. The regular 18-episode set up would have put them at 102 episodes, enough for syndication.
Okay, thanks. I should've known better quoting Lee Daniels. The extra episodes was part of a discussion in The Breakfast Club.
