While Lucious is bedridden, the other Lyons take the opportunity to get ahead on their own projects.
I cant even key in it.
Theyre calling them Coocious.

(Sounds like a damn STD, Cookie remarks later).
Not everything is as happy as that video, though.
The company, as you’ve got the option to expect, is livid.
Im definitely missing the opportunity for a joke).
Thirstys plan is to dig up dirt on Kennedy (man, Thirsty!
Just when I was starting to like you for helping Becky.
(I didnt know that!
She removes Lucious oxygen and starts threatening him.
Dont die… because if you die, Ill get everything, she whispers.
Her threats dont quite work, though, because Lucious shakily pulls a pistol out from under the covers.
Anika gets the message and bolts… straight to Cookies house.
Ive seen firsthand what youre willing to do to protect your own blood, she says.
(Arent we forgetting Bellas father, Hakeem, in this equation?
Although yes, Id rather give my baby to Cookie, too.)
Anika isnt buying it.
you’re able to say that, but its not the truth, she says.
Meanwhile, someone else has been saying things that arent the truth.
Do they take turns?
Nessa is confused just as we knew shed be.
Theresnoway Nessa would share her man.
Andre tries to smooth it over by saying thats just how he does business.
Thats how you andRhondadid business, Nessa says.
And I am not Rhonda.
Shes not going to sacrifice her values to become a star!
Hakeem goes straight to Cookie and Jamal after the meeting.
What do you mean by victim-blaming?
Hey, better late than never, I guess.
Jamal explains that its what Hakeem does in virtually all of his songs, which then influences his fans.
Remember that homophobic rant you threw at me?
Do you know how many threats I got after that?
We all came from a woman, so be as strong as you might be, he sings.
I think I made my position very clear with you regarding Vegas, Lucious says to Andre.
Ooh another secret we dont know about!
Though well find out a piece to the puzzle soon…
But first, Lucious tells Andre hes fired for insubordination.
Lucious asks for one, and there are crickets.
Honestly, I thought Hakeem would be the second, considering how awful Andre has been to him lately.
WhydidntHakeem agree with Lucious?
Does he just hate Lucious even more than Andre or what?
Lucious blows a gasket and tells everybody to get out.
So, back to Leviticus, where Cookie and Angelo are awaiting the results of the Democratic Mayoral Primary.
Angelos been taking the whole Dangerous thing pretty hard.
(Lets hope he doesnt find out about the baseball bat incident, right?)
So who shows up at Angelos party but Lucious, up and walking.
What brings you from your coffin?
Angelo classily thanks Lucious for the use of the space, and the results come in.
Angelo wins the primary!
Of course, once I remembered it was theprimaryand not the real election, it was obvious hed win.
The question now is, whos going to run against him in therealelection?
My guesses: Cookie, Lucious, or Andre.
I think thats what wed call an alternative fact these days, Lucious.
What exactly was this illegal miracle procedure the doctor performed that Lucious needed to be intubated for?
And what is wrong with Lucious?
Well, one question probably needs to be addressed before that: How does Lucious know Giuliana?
She puts her hand on his shoulder while hes in the middle of the song (ballsy!)
and purrs, Why dont you play the song you wrote forme,Lucious?
GIRL, WHAT?!
Since he and Cookie have been together since they were tiny teens… when didyoucome into the picture?
Also does Luciousreallyneed to share another woman with one of his sons?
Im getting skeeved out.
