Cookie tries to convince the board that Lucious is fine, knowing Lucious won’t be held much longer in prison a plot is up to displace him from the company.
Peace in the Lyon family is always just one exposed secret or conversation away from crumbling. It was no different on this week's episode, "More Than Kin," but somehow it managed to hold.
"More Than Kin," had a lot of the things I look for in a quality episode: a heartfelt conversation between the Lyon brothers, Cookie one-liners, musical numbers, acknowledgement of cultural issues, etc.
Because of her quick thinking and general fabulousness, the board proposes that Lucious and Cookie run Empire as co-CEOs. Lucious accepts. I can't wait to see what the logo looks like next week.
"More Than Kin" was dull and predictable affair. The past two episodes haven been terrible and the show needs to stop retreading the same storylines over again.
Perhaps due to the season's two-part structure and longer total running time than the short, surprise-hit Season One - the story is getting a bit soft, or more than a bit.
While we saw the rush of scheming and blind fury in Lucious' eyes as he embraced you... it's interesting that director Sanaa Hamri didn't show your face [Cookie] in that moment.
