In Empire Season 3, episode 5, which airs at 9 p.m. EDT Wednesday, the Lyons are doing to war with Shine and his crew. The two factions are hell bent on taking each other down.
There is a good chance that Andre Lyon and Shine’s sister, Nessa, may get caught in the crossfire. The two have had a lot of chemistry throughout the season and eventually hook up at the end of episode 4. However, Andre is also not doing well, as he hallucinates his dead wife Rhonda while making out with Nessa.
Will Andre and Nessa’s budding attraction survive their family’s feud? We will find out during the season premiere, which is best viewed on television or live online through Fox Now.
Lucious and Cookie are counting on Hakeem to step up and take care of his baby daughter, Bella. Meanwhile, Lucious is pushing Jamal to return to performing. He has struggled with PTSD ever since being shot in Season 2. However, Lucious took a collection of his songs and released them as “The Black Album” and now expects Jamal to perform them.
Originally, Jamal was to release a record called “The Black And White Album,” featuring songs produced by his father, Lucious (the black) and his mother, Cookie (the white).
Jamal has made progress coming to terms with what happened to him, but remains uncertain whether he is ready to return to the stage.
Empire airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Fox.
