More on that later.)
Giuliana sees Cookies face on the screen and tells Lucious to handle it.
He goes down to remove her, and in true Cookie fashion, she makes a huge scene.
Then the screen flashes back to TWO WEEKS EARLIER, and everything makes a little more sense.
I actually wondered if Id somehow missed an episode in between last Wednesday and this one!
(Charlotte rightly rolls her eyes at this.)
We also learn, interestingly, that Charlotte is Mormon and she doesnt drink alcoholorcoffee.
Then, Thirsty notices that Giuliana brings some handwritten financial ledgers everywhere she goes, and asks about them.
Lucious fires him immediately.
He has been so loyal to you!
Not to mention he knows like… everything youve done?
Of course, three seasons in, I dont know why I expect Lucious to care about loyalty.
Byrons first order of business?
Hes not wrong but Jamal and Cookie are pissed.
Cookie runs into Thirsty on his way out and invites him to a get together at her house tonight.
Becky is down partly because her budget along with TianasandNessas has been slashed to funnel more resources to theInfernoshow.
Meanwhile, two plans start to come together…(Recap continues on page 2.)
In Vegas, the plan is sliding into place easily.
Everyones doing their part… until Carol cant seduce the stern guard on duty.
IT WORKS!!!
Cookie takes the ledgers straight to Charlottes office, who pages through them.
This is really bad, she says.
Oh, and he hands Charlotte a duffel bag full of money.
Charlotte accepts it, easily.
Again with the you people!
What is up with this woman, besides being corrupt?
(I guess thats my answer.)
When Cookie and Lucious leave, though, Charlotte speaks to someone else.
Wow… you have an interesting family, she says, as Andre steps out of the shadows.
Okay, I really am impressed.
Andre just does not give up!
He takes her hand to his chest and she swoons into him.
So she wont have a cup of coffee, but shell take dirty money and cheat on her husband?
Back in New York, Cookie tells Jamal they should surprise-releaseWCMLso it slurps all the attention away fromLucious.
Stop ganging up on her, he says.
She came for me hard and had her feelings hurt.
She just needs to lick her wounds.
He leaves Lucious a message: I found her.
Im on my way.
Charlotte may have taken Dads money, he tells her, confiding about the private conversation they had.
But she has no loyalty to him.
So they formulate a new plan to have thugs running amuck in Charlottes town.
Well just have to give her Biggie and Pac times 10, Cookie muses.
Im so ready to see CharlotteandGiuliana go down!!
I was also ready to see Lucious and Tariq mend their problems, which they really attempt to do.
Wait til you find out where I found Bella.
into the side of Tariqs neck.
What the hell is wrong with you?!
If Giuliana and Charlotte get locked in there with her, all the better.
