ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Lucious and Cookie walking at Empire

Yeah, so a whole lot happened on Empire last night.

  1. Cookie had bake sale.
  2. Cooke tried real hard to get a deal with Fig Newtons.
  3. Cookies thinks she’s The Oracle from The Matrix.
  4. Cookie used to be an aggressive Girl Scout.
  5. Cookie just really, truly wants you to “Take these Cookies!”

Other things happened on the episode, too. Years from now, you’ll still be hollering, “Take these Cookies!” To more of the story, you can read the full recap at The Root. And have a cookie on your way out.

Empire’s Lucious — The Devil Made Him Do It

ByElaine G. Flores, Chief Editor

Cookie Lyon took the rap for Lucious and spent 17 years in prison while he used the money from their drug operation to become a music mogul. He didn’t visit her, didn’t give her any credit for Empire’s success and didn’t even put some money in her commissary account so she could afford a Kit-Kat bar or some shea butter. Nobody wants to be peckish and ashy.

  1. How many (un)subtle ways are you going to slam Gabourey Sidibe’s weight? Wow. I understand that your summaries are supposed to be on the snarky side, but really, you’re a better writer than that.

    1. Hi Jeannie, Thank you for writing. I think you’re thinking of my references to Porsha’s walk. Gabby plays Becky. I love the character and didn’t I didn’t realize it would come off that way. I think Porsha has a funny gait and I figured it was an acting choice. I appreciate you telling me this so I can make it more clear next time.
