“It’s an all-out war when Cookie uncovers Anika’s big backstabbing secret, and Lucious must come face-to-face with his longtime rival, Billy Beretti (guest star Judd Nelson).” reads the press release from this week’s Empire episode “Unto the Breach. “As the Lyon family rallies to save Empire Entertainment, all three sons take drastic measures: Jamal gets close with famous artist Delphine (guest star Estelle), Hakeem works hand-in-hand with Cookie and Andre is pushed way beyond his limits.”
It looks like Boo Boo Kitty (Anika played by Grace Gealey) will FINALLY get her comeuppance at the hands of Cookie (Taraji P. Henson)! And it could not have happened any sooner!
In this AWESOME clip, Cookie interrupts Anika and Lucious’ (Terrence Howard) wedding planning to reveal that Anika has been plotting against Empire with Lucious’ biggest rival Billy Beretti! How did she find out? Anika paid Porsha (Ta’Rhonda Jones) to spy on Cookie and Porsha SPIED RIGHT BACK! I KNEW Porsha would not betray Cookie! YAY! Cookie’s reveal is CLASSIC COOKIE. “You in the middle of gettin’ your ass GONE,” she says before spilling her lying and manipulative ways. “BYE FELISHA” Cookie tosses off triumphantly after her work is done. You don’t want to miss this clip.
Cookie hands Anika her ass, basically.
