Empire Episode List and Show Guide: Lucious Lyon is the king of hip-hop. An immensely talented artist, the CEO of Empire Entertainment and a former street thug, his.

Empire — TV Episode Recaps & News. Apparently, Lucious suffers from myasthenia gravis, and this is the first that any of us are hearing of it.

A little light vacuuming. Watch Knockin On Heavens Door Online Facebook. Some unfortunate heaving into a bucket. These aren’t the typical glamorous activities you’d expect to see from Empire. But after Diana casually reneges on the deal — “the Cookie effect” is helping her son in the polls, and she can get Lucious an ambassadorhip (girl, bye) — Lucious very publicly makes sure the story rises from the ashes.

Turns out that Angelo’s old DUI arrest might contain an inconvenient wrinkle — a girl in the passenger seat who didn’t come out alive — and in the process, Mrs. Cosby learns Lucious Lyon is Not The One. THEY ACTUALLY MADE HIM GO TO REHAB, AND I SAID “YES, YES, YES!” . But the night of the People’s Ball, when Cookie finds her son going through brutal withdrawal and unable to perform, she grabs a wrench, opens up the pipes and gives her son just enough oxy to crush his big comeback performance.

A four-letter word that can have a huge impact. Merriam-Webster defines it as a verb that means: to make more pleasant or bearable: improve, relieve.

How good is he? Even uptight Diana is shakin’ that azz. But as he exits the stage, Cookie, Lucious, Hakeem and Andre usher their tormented loved one into a car headed directly to a treatment facility to kick his out- of- control habit.

Shyne steps into the already crowded mix by offering to solve Lucious’ $5. But it’s Andre who ultimately wields the biggest sword this week (not a euphemism) — which we’ll get to in a second. GHOST PUNTER . She approves of his new merger (heck, she already got in on that otherwordly three- way a few episodes ago), and encourages Andre to proceed — with Machiavellian purpose. Oh, and one last thing, she adds: “Promise me you will destroy that bitch that murdered me and killed our baby.” Damn, girl, why not just skywrite “Surrender, Boo- Boo Kitty” right across the sky? Andre poetically tosses his wedding ring into the water, then reveals to Shyne that he knows the producer liquidated his assets two weeks before Lucious’ assets were frozen. He’s turned King Shyne into a mere rook for now, telling him to respect the heirarchy “’til it’s time to kill my father.” And the look on Andre’s face says he really means it. Dun- dun- dunnnnn.

Now, on to our Q& A with Sanaa Hamri! TVLINE . He doesn’t want to just control the business, but kill his father, too.

How dangerous will he become? He’s extremely dangerous. Andre has nothing to lose.

He is the shunned brother with no kind of creative talent, who’s never been the apple of Lucious’ eye. And not only that, Lucious let him falter and tread water in a very dangerous way as a teenager, not ackowledging .

Lucious never said, “This runs in our family. My mother has it.” His father always made him feel like a freak. Now having lost his wife and lost his child, Andre has become the most ruthless one — and he’s learned a lot from his father, too.

So I believe he’s the most dangerous character on our show right now. TVLINE . This time around, I am not convinced he sees it coming, but what can you tease for fans who have to wait ’til March for new episodes?

Lucious should really, really worry — and here’s why. The hack Andre pulled off a couple episodes ago with French Montana’s . Andre is going to be able to weave a web that could most probably or possibly take Lucious down. He’s going to do whatever it takes by any means necessary. Lucious is that way as well. And what I think people will enjoy is wondering if Andre is now even more Machiavellian and powerful than Lucious.

TVLINE . It was so poetic and beautiful in Andre’s mind, but it also felt like a turning point that set up Andre to make these moves. It was a really interesting process saying goodbye to the ghost of Rhonda. When I was directing it, I wanted it to feel super lyrical, super poetic and a true goodbye. I used extreme wide angles and certain cinematic accent to capture it as a bittersweet love story.

It’s almost like reliving the death of Rhonda but in a less brutal way. With that said, we are saying goodbye to Rhonda, and this was Andre saying goodbye to Rhonda. He knows now where he’s going. He has the drive and direction.

Before, he was flailing, and Rhonda was always steering him in the right direction. Now, though, he’s found solace in Nessa. He’s attracted to her, and she’s also attracted to his Machiavellian ways and his need for power, his need to take over and surpass his father. He throws his wedding ring into the water. Trai Byers and I came up with that on set. TVLINE . She’s just sucking up the dirt! That’s what’s so brilliant about the writing on the show — if you deconstruct what everyone is saying, they’re not saying much at all.

It’s the innuendo that makes it completely outrageous! Diana and Lucious made promises to each other. He fulfilled his, he did what he had to do. But she, in turn, reneged on that. So, she understand Lucious’ vengeance.

She’s obsessed with her son, but not a Lucious herself. She messed with the wrong guy. But Angelo is in the second half of the season, so Diana will definitely make an appearance again. TVLINE . Jamal having to face pain- medication addiction, it’s a horrific thing.

We see the rawness and the truth. It’s the unglamorous side of what a lot of artists have gone through over the decades — from Janis Joplin to Michael Jackson. We see what it does. Cookie will do anything to get her son out of that pain, and that’s why she gave him those pills. It had to be addressed, but she couldn’t let him withdraw that severely. She and Lucious and the family all bonded in that amazing moment where Jamal has to go to rehab. He has to go through the program and come to terms with his addiction.

And the journey now for him is if he can be sober — and if he can create being sober, which is a whole other thing. What did you think of Empire? Were you shocked by Andre’s desire to kill Lucious? Sound off in the comments!
