5 Prayers for Empire

Empire‘s Andre Lyon renounced his sinful ways and got baptized on last night’s episode, “Be True.” Since Andre says he has conversations with God, we thought we’d give him a few talking points for their next chat.
- Please tell Hakeem to stop trying to make fetch happen with that girl group. Valentina was annoying and this new girl who performs Linda Rondstadt covers seems sweet enough, but she’s not as entertaining as “Drip Drop.”
- Lucious and the “Gutter Life” label — nope! Please guide him to stop trying to be so hard. Lucious wishes he was hard, but it’s Rhonda who’s the real deal. She bludgeoned Vernon, buried the body, then helped dig it up — while pregnant! Rhoda makes Papa Lyon look soft. Rhonda makes us all look soft.
- More Porsha, please. Aside from Cookie, Ta’Rhonda Jones‘ character is the kookiest part of Empire. Cookie is busy with running the Lyon Dynasty and dealing with a turf war so she’s not the laugh riot of Season 1. Team Porsha.

- Locate Boo Boo Kitty. She hasn’t been doing much except suffering Cookie’s barbs this season. I hope she and Thirsty are working together. You can’t beat the combo of a bougie attitude and purple suits.
- Please slow down the plot. Mugging! Break-in! Kidnapping! There was so much going on in the episode that there wasn’t time to react to anything. By the time Hakeem was abducted we were too exhausted to get worked up.
For my recap of the “Be True” episode head on over to The Root.
Empire airs Wednesdays at 9/8c on Fox
