I know, I know, you spent the last 57 minutes curled up in a fetal position on the living room couch after Lucious had/received that "stroke" in the middle of a conversation with Anika. But that was hardly the climax (sorry) of Season 3, Episode 3,
Lucious Lyon is a force to be reckoned with; he will stop at nothing to get whatever he wants. I was shocked at the opening seconds of Empire Season 3 Episode 3 as this is on broadcast television, but they have pushed the boundaries before.
This week, Empire decided to not just make Lucious an antihero, but also make him straight-up garbage. He's acting more unreasonable than ever and this is a man who murdered someone in the pilot.
This week, Lucious is a vampire, Anika is a boss, Cookie is an angel, and Mariah Carey is a kind-hearted diva queen, who finally made her Empire debut -- and who does not, in case you were wondering, have any sort of face-off with our true queen, Cookie.
