If my Latin AP skills are still intact, I believe the choir swell during that scene roughly translated to "Justice for Raven Symone!"
"Ain't that a bitch."

And whose fault Anika finally went over the edge? Hakeem. That boy just doing everything to piss Luscious off.

All things considered, can you really blame him? poor boy just getting his life together then all this happens?!
Seriously,
Fuck Luscious for that "she fixed you?" bullshit
Fuck Hakeem because he's Hakeem and for doing the entire family dirty
Fuck Anika for all her bullshit this episode
March is too damn long to wait to get our fix. What are we gonna do? Rematch season one?

Just another victim of S2's mantra of fuckery over consistent characterization and compelling stories.
I don't even know who these characters are anymore.
What was the point of making Jamal the head of Empire again?
What precisely are the consequences of Cookie sleeping with a sleazy gangbanger (other than losing her "cookout"...whatever that means)?
Why is Lucious so obsessed with having an heir if his entire narrative so far seems to be ensuring his own legacy never be topped?
Why, if Empire is such a global megalith, did the show expect us to believe that some scrappy upstart led 50% by Hakeem is a legitimate threat that has Lucious so shook?
Why does anyone on Earth care about something called the American Sound Awards?
Fuckery isn't enough anymore. This show and "How To Get Away With Murder" reversed roles this year.

Wow.
"She fixed you."
Why am I surprised?
I can explain these two.
He's obsessed with having an heir but still being in power because he knows he will not be around forever. It's about the business. It has nothing to do with family.
Dynasty is such a threat to Lucious because it is Hakeem, but not only that, is is Cookie. He knows that Cookie can spin gold. They both also pissed on him.
Lucious Lyon also is not the most stable person. I'm still unsure if he's undiagnosed bipolar or not.

That was some serious fuckery.
Oh god, what an episode. Alicia Keys getting dragged to death sort of went nowhere, Porsche came back for long enough to say something funny, and Andre just gets typecast further and further into the crazy role. The fuckery of Hakeem with Camilla is on the line of being too far fucky, but it seems like just the right amount of chaos for the next part of the season. Things were definitely starting to get too easy for everyone.
The teaser for 2016 seems wild. It'll be a long damn wait for March 30.

Just the baby. I think they showed her in the preview for next season
dope fall finale
- chunky/preggo (?) alicia keys look so damn good
- I'm not mad at Hakeem. Luscious deserved that.
- it took me until almost the end of the episode to recognize Da Brat lmao. Lee Daniels getting our washed up stars a check.
- that commercial transition had me fucked up lmao.
nah we're gonna get maybe 1 ep of SAD ASS ANDRE. then a few eps of
until he kills Anika.

lmao Hakeem is such a fool for that one. I love how Cookie sensed what was happening and was like "Hakeem noooooooooooooooooooooooo"
I knew Anika was planning something shady but not to that damn extent god damn. I can't wait til Andre finds out. Alicia Keys is ridiculously fine in this show btw. Smh can't believe that clown swizz beats has her.

Morbid but I would love for Ronda to be dead. I would be shocked she doesn't have a broken neck.

I'm predicting Rhonda dies, but for extra fuxxery and Lee Daniels' school of anvil symbolism, the baby will live as she goes into post-mortem labor like a corpse spontaneously evacuating its bowels.

still rolling at ronda.
Most of this was set up pretty well. Jamal versus luscious was something played up the whole season, and now amped up by the fact luscious never actually won the award. Hakeem is constantly introduced to new information of luscious fucking him over. Everyone new luscious was gonna get fucked over by the lesbian, although Camilla involvement was a nice surprise and callback
Anikas insanity is all new though. Maybe because the show didn't have enough time to show her descent into madness. She seemed a worth adversary in season 1, but here she is reduced to being worthless. Why can't she get another job? Why does she suddenly love a potential stepson? Her actually loving Hakeem is pretty ridiculous... Even for this show

Wait is Alicia Keys coming back? Because that ending with Jamal was really anticlimactic, they ended it on a really vague note "yeah well I probably won't love you as much as a guy even though I have a crush on you, made love to you and had a wonderful time"...
I thought the theme of the episode was going to be labels didn't matter, but apparently it was that you should stick to the confines of your labels. :S
