Later, they visit Jago in the hospital and pump some extra morphine into him to make him more amenable to striking a deal. But Jago says “I like your beats, I just find your lyrics kind of shallow,” so Lucious knocks him out.
Mimi has already advised him to let Jago win. Swiftstream’s CEO is at a boxing gym and wants to spar with Lucious. Lucious and Mimi paid a visit to Jago Locke, played by Patrick Mulvey. Lucious wants to be partners with Swiftstream in an effort to dominate music streaming. Laura jumped into Hakeem’s arms and kissed him passionately after she successfully sang “Sobreviviré,” the Spanish version of “I Will Survive” The next time the girls were on together, Laura put Carmen back in her place while Cookie gave it the thumbs up. He also took Laura to Hudson Plaza to sing in public. Hakeem’s instincts said “NO” so he enlisted Tiana’s (Serayah) help in tuning up Laura’s self-confidence. Lucious plays it off though and even takes credit for Jamal’s big improvement to Jarvis, but you can clearly see on his face that he is hearing Smart Cookie’s influence on Jamal’s track.Ĭookie Monster tried to make Hakeem replace Laura as the lead singer of Mirage a Trois with Carmen (Yani Marin), who grabbed her spot during a performance by elbowing Laura out of the way. This is madd important to Lucious and he is really pissed when he learns that Jamal got an invite to the next Living Room session. How the hell could he tell she was a girl on that? LOL!! Anyhow, he thinks Lucious is on to something but Jarvis wants to feel more. Jarvis listens to the Boom Boom Bang Bang track with Freda Gatz rapping. Everyone who got one collected a big music award. Meantime, Lucious wants to get invited to one of the Living Room sessions of music exec, Huey Jarvis, played by Clarence Williams III. In the present, however, Freda will learn one day that it was Lucious who ordered the murder of her father in that prison. She found some anyway and put a gun to her head in front of him. Throughout the episode, there are flashbacks of young Lucious (Shannon Brown) with his suicidal mom (Kelly Rowland). Maybe Lucious was telling the truth to Freda Gatz (Bre-Z) that he relates more to her than his sons as they both lost their parents early. He tells Cookie to be careful because he doesn’t trust Laz. Hakeem is angry at first, especially when Laz is using his negotiating chair, but goes along with it, too.
He’s arranging a venue for Cookie’s jam, a cookout in Harlem, and he even talks Cookie into using Big Heavy and his boys for security. Laz told Heavy hands off Hakeem and outlined his plan to get 10x more money than they got for the kidnapping. “You need to be taking care of business, not booty,” Big Heavy warned. Then Laz met up with the sinister Big Heavy, played by Victor Almanzar. Cookie shacked up with Laz (Adam Rodriguez) for three days. Episode 8 of “Empire” (Season 2, 11-11-2015) was called “True Love Never,” part of a Shakespeare line in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (The course of true love never did run smooth ~ Lysander).
