You’ve Always Been My Wizard
Chapter 3 Hide n’ Seek
Original at ao3: You’ve Always Been My Wizard
My ao3 account: purplebookgeek17
The sun was shining and the clouds were puffy. Mike knew that it would be a great day for fishing/swimming. They went to Lovers Lake, and got all the beach supplies needed. Mike also invited everyone else to come. Once everyone was in their swimming attire, and they set off. The first people there were Lucas and Max. They only had one kid named Charlotte and she was about 9 years old. She had little bows in her braided hair. She also was pretty tall since the last time Max saw her. She has both her parents' features. But she definitely has Max’s nose. She also had Lucas’s dark wide eyes. She also had coily curls when her hair was out of braids.. As for my kids. Juno has my dark raven hair but she has a slight hint of light brown. They both have El’s hazel brown eyes. Howard though is the perfect mix of both of us, and has light brown hair. Also me and Juno always are told that we look like this Timothee Chalamet guy. I think it was in a movie this year called homeland. bBut how our kids have grown.
—--
It had already been 2 hours in, and they were definitely not ready to leave all of the kids playing in the water. Too bad Dustin isn’t going to be here until Tuesday. But maybe we can do another lake day. Lucas, and I have been talking about many things but we mostly talk about work, and what's been going on. Lucas is the new Basketball coach for Hawkins High. Max has taken a new job at an office job a few hours aways from Hawkins.
Mike was grilling the fish that they caught back at the Wheeler's house. And yes they did wash the fish of course. They also made extra food for the kids just in case they didn’t like the fish. But in the end they did. They all had a fun barbecue. “Dad do you think we could do hide and seek.” “Like all together.” “Yeah! It would be a good bonding experience.” So everyone split up into teams that the kids picked out. Howard ,and Lucas, Max, and Juno, Mr. Wheeler, and Mrs.Wheeler. Then Charlotte was the seeker. So That left Mike, and Will being on a team.
They all scattered in the backyard, and found hiding places. “Will! Over here!.” Will quickly fled into the thick bush in the bushe it was pretty cramped. But whatever makes the kids, it's fine. Mike, and Will’s breathing is heavy, and in sink. And both of their instincts are up and high. Will suddenly looks at Mike. “This reminds me of the first time I encountered the upside down.” “Really you don't have to pla-.” “No it’s fine it’s just remembering that it’s been about 29 years is actually pretty shocking.” “Because I still feel a little of the effects of the upside down. “And to wrap my head around it being almost 3 decades it’s just a lot.”
“I know.” says Mike “When you first went missing I was devastated.” “I thought I would never see you again.” “The reason I met El as you know was because of you. “ “But the funny thing is once I got you back I completely ignored you.” “And I should’ve done more to help you heal but I just turned a blind eye and left you alone.” “ for a love that didn’t even work out!” Mike huffed and gave a guilty sad look to Will.
They looked into each other's eyes for a few minutes. Suddenly Mike put his hand on Will’s shoulder and asked “Will why am I the heart.” Will then smiled and told Mike that he is the heart because “ You're a leader, you encourage everyone and you're a great example to people. ``''You also are there with everyone through their struggles these past 41 years of life. “Also since you're my best friend you’ve always been in my heart, and everyone else who’s your friend has you in their heart.”
Will then cups Mike's face and tells him it’s going to be okay. Mike looks at Will's sweet smile. It always radiated off feelings of warmth. They both then started smiling at each other. “ I found you guys!!!” cries Charlotte. “Ahh Charlotte you scared us!”
Mike and Will then congratulated Charlotte in finding them. Then after a few minutes Max and Juno came out victorious

What hasn’t already been said: The Spanish Princess 2
Episode 2: SOdden (or Sod ‘Em depending on your persuasion)
(Dont know how long I’ll be able to keep these puns up)
Catherine, like this woman, does not really fit into this era. But while this woman seems dropdead cool and at least looks the part, Catherine just...
To all those of you keen enough to have come back for another segment of ‘what hasn’t already been said: TSP’, as opposed to have just been scrolling when you see this - welcome back! (Scrollers you too <3)
To anyone who’s seeing this for the first time: what this is a list of observations, jokes, reactions and criticism which occur to me upon a rewatch. I wait every week until Saturday to do this so that I have had my fill of scrolling through the tag and aggregating what has already been said. I tried doing a whole spoof (here where I gave up 10% in) but tbh a) I don’t know the history well enough b) it’s more time consuming than I thought and c) this series is just not as funny or as crazy as TWQ, so it’s untenable. Having said that: This is not a hatepost. I’m not hatewatching this series and nitpicking on purpose but expressing my honest views and trying to find the good in it as well as the bad.
Without further ado...
First Scenes:
The baby cloth lifting into the ceiling of the chapel had nice ‘myth of the demon countess of Anjou (ancestress of the Plantagenets)’ vibes. I am 100% that was unintentional. I get this impression by the cringiness of the baby’s screams (what’s up with those sound effects? It sounded like a zipper).
Henry gives me such softboi vibes? It’s pleasing to me because it’s making me attracted to him as a viewer, but no good in convincing me this is Henry VIII.
I think Catherine’s exposition about how she feels is pretty ok actually, it’s fitting that she would feel anger.
CHARLES’ FATHER IS NOT MAXIMILIAN, IT’S PHILIP (or rather it was). ~~ A quick wiki search guyz, a quick wiki search. Ughh
Again with the whole everyone acting like Catherine is Queen. Can they cut it out? Also while we’re at it, what was Catherine’s attendance in councils even like?
The music was nice
Post Child announcement phase:
Oof I hate to say it but I lowkey wanted de la Pole back in this mother. Mainly because it would mean more Margaret Pole and by this point I am scared her storyline will fade in prominence now that there’s no longer a Yorkist subplot (showhorned as it was, it was the crowning glory of last season tied with Arthur x Catherine).
More x Maggie Pole and all of it over Seneca and learning :’). I already know this will be the best part of the episode.
‘We certainly know stoicism in our family’ ~ I guess she’s referring to Reggie? Because our boi Clarence was no poster boy for stoicism. Though could she be making an ironic reference to her father~?
Edmund de la Pole Debacle:
Well this convo at least passed the bechdel test.
Maggie and Edmund’s interactions here are touching. I know this plotline was rushed but I think it was just right to bring us back here for 5 min as a mournful throwback to the bygone era to which Maggie Pope belongs to and now continues to do so alone. It is emotionless and you can just feel how the York cause was hanging on by a tired old threat by that point.
Maggie Pole is becoming matronly now and I like this transition.
What bothers me about a lot of fans of Margaret Pole is that what they don’t realise is that she wasn’t all like ‘I want nothing to do with my family I’ll stay low and obscure’. While far more cautious than the likes of her ancestors, she did engage in land disputes with Henry VIII and was an outspoken supporter of Catherine and Catholic. Having her be a woman woth dubious loyalties towards the Tudors is accurate.
Scotland with Meg and Jammes:
LMFAO it’s like they read my mind when I spoke of how much I laughed when Meg was like ‘Alexander Steward you pig!1!!’ last episode.
Nice reference to Aulde Alliance
I like James.
Henry and Catherine on the balcony:
Was she commander of the forces? Was Howard appointed that? Regent she was, ok.
Charlotte Hope’s new hairstyles really suit her!
‘Will you please stop cursing’ agahsjdk ahah
No offence to women (of which I am one) but this comparison between childbirth and war is just... wrong. I know Starz think they are being smart but childbirth is far less impressive than winning or surviving a battle - comparing the two diminishes the bravery of soldiers. YET ,having said that, childbirth is necessary for our society whereas war is almost always futile and by comparing them, it wrongly represents violence as something inherently as natural to us as birth and continuing of civilisation. overall not a smart, respectful or accurate parrallel to make.
Meg and prep for invasion + Catherine in her weird armour:
So Margaret dreams that her husband is dead and bloody in her bed. Ughh show you neeed to get more creative. But I did like the whole ‘dreams are how our ancestors talk to us’ line from Angus Douglas.
Re: Meg in her beret... Why is Meg dressed like me going to the London shops in October? Digging the aesthetic but not sure about the accuracy.
Rich of Catherine to bring up Edmund.
Why is Ursula Pole crying??? What is all this to her really?
Did Howard just call the guard... sonny?? Is this some WW2 crossover?
Catherine - James and the tent parlay:
Did Catherine just insult Meg’s intelligence??
Also lmao I’m going to miss James.
Re: Howard saying ‘I’m not going to get insulted by a man wearing a dress’ .. UMMM Starz, you do know that just thirty years ago men were prancing about in dresses and leggings (essentially). From around the middle of the 14th century to the beggining of 16th century (if not earlier), Englishmen were also essentially prancing about in ‘skirts’.
Am I getting a weird cooperation-partnership vibe between Meg and James?
The Battle:
Charlotte Hope looks so good with the helmet, she’d really suit an english hood! Such a shame they won’t give her one!
Ewwww he’s eating mud, why?
Just standard battle scene. They are all the same to me no matter which movie.
Aftermath:
Jesus, I find the whole Meg crying over James IV so heartfelt ‘you arrogant bastard’ for some reason just came out so full of emotion. Can someone please explain why the hell I ship them more than Henry x Catherine?? Like how ??
Awwww Linna is sooooo adorable ughhh. Also this whole Catherine going into armour among all the women crooning over the children gives this adorable sense of Catherine boyish and bloodying herself out to protect their peace, idk. All I have to say is that these series is less eager to pitt women against each other than the previous. I think that’s a step forwards.
Also, good to see Catherine being modest about her victory so Henry can save face. Finally starting to seem like the real Catherine.
‘Go on you dog’ arghh ahah he sounds like some public school rugby lad egging his mate on.
Re: Wolsey cock-blocker; the real Catherine would know it was uncatholic to have sex when you were pregnant. Also Catherine is not technically speaking in confinement if she’s wandering about.
It’s nice to see Catherine sticking up for Howard, she at least learned to respect him during the battle.
I foresee Oviedo having enough of this Christian stuff and wanting to return to the berber domains (I suppose Spain is out of the question)
Knighting Ceremony:
Apparently Margaret Pole herself was made Countess of Salisbury during this same ceremony... right? @houseofclarence
Also Maggie Pole being like: “being a rebel is in my blood, or so they tell me”... gahhh what’s with these shows and the Clarence erasure? Can’t they make one bloody reference to her dad or grandad Warwick? Ugh. Especially with lines like this. Actually? You know what? Ignore my previous comment about the stoic remark and it being an ironic reference to Clarence. I put such subtlety above this show’s writers.
Catherine has a habit of going to the coldest places possible to lose her children...
Haha @ Henry asking Bessie Blount (of all people) where Catherine is.
Conclusion:
6/10
What I’m happiest about is that Flodden got dealt with in one episode because warrior xena Catherine is not what interests me most about this show. Having said that, it was a true shame that James IV died because his were some of the best scenes. This whole show is starting to feel so historical fantasy-ish because the aesthetics are so confused. Granted it’s still pretty (not eyesore like Reign) but it doesn’t penetrate.
I am as always invested in the Poles (and More) but am also starting to get attached to Princess Mary whose actress exudes plenty of charm. This show remains confused with its feminist message because while it shows women being proactive there is so much emphasis on babies that what remains with the mind after watching is this womanish birthdrama, as opposed to a show about struggles which affect both genders.
You might tut at me and say I’m being ridiculous and that it is historically accurate to put so much emphasis on women’s babies and I say that’s swell. I would happily watch a show where that element is strong (most pre 1995 historical dramas are like that with traditionally feminine characters and I gulp them up like sustenance), but if a show promises feminism and women-men being partners I want it to deliver that properly. As I said in my previous post, why do we keep trying to make women engage in acts like war as if such an abhorrent act is the only way to take them seriously? I await the day where cunning, rationality and cool-headedness will be the traits portrayed as feminist ones.
There is nothing else to really comment on... the only potentially deeper message in this is the gender discourse. I am unsure about the accuracy so I can’t speak of the historical value of the interpretation. But what I will say is that though I remain excited for each new episode... I’m just not as invested as I was in TWQ (rewatch every year dont @ me) or TWP despite their many flaws. Some characters pull me in eg Maggie Pole (Carmichael is a bae), Thomas More etc but not the whole cast like TWQ. Anyway... would be interesting to see if anything happens with Lina and Oviedo tommorow as their storyline is conspicuously slow.
#the spanish princess#the spanish princess 2#fool if you thought I wouldn't jump on the whole 'being a rebel is in my blood' opportunity to bring up Clarence#I was delighted last time when people left comments and stuff#rofl#so yeah#Please please I love discussions and do not think twice before sending me an ask or commenting !#lady plantagenet's series reviews#the dialogue remains a bit trite#the sugared grape counterpart for this episode was edmund's death and the whole ironic reference to Senenca and stoicism#not because the dialogue around edmund's death was particularly poignant but how conspicuously quiet and swift the whole affair was as#...as compared to previous york pretender plotlines left a mournful note#basically I feel like I keep focusing on stuff the show doesn't want me to focus on#and am projecting therefore

Pu-erh tea???
18. Pu-erh tea: What is a book you can recommend to others? ((OOC: I was going to make a video but I changed my mind so here you go.Outlander-Diana Gabaldon… Do you like romance, action, Scottish history, sci-fi, the supernatural, time travel, and badass characters? Yes? Then this is the series for you. No? Well, shit.The Book Thief- Markus Zusak… It is honestly amazing and the narrator is death.Jane Eyre- Charlotte Bronte… Classic, very feminist in some partsThe Magicians- Lev Grossman… There isn’t enough time in the world for me to talk about thisOranges Are Not the Only Fruit -Jeanette Winterson… Honestly amazing, it’s about a girl who grew up in a very religious family/town who ends up in a relationship with one of her female friends but it doesn’t work out because her friend chooses God over her. I really love it because it brings up questions of faith and homophobia and I love how much analysis can be done. I’ve written at least five essays on this book alone, it is so beautifully written.The God of Small Things-Arundhati Roy… If I am being completely honest I don’t really remember this book cause I read it in my first year of Uni and my memory is scary bad. What I do remember is that it is hella freaking amazing so read it.The Secret Garden- Frances BurnettThe Outsiders- S.E HintonFangirl and Carry On- Rainbow Rowell… These were recommended to me by you, I had ignored them on the shelf because based on the summary in the book I didn’t think I would like it but you convinced me and I love them both. Cath is so relatable and it addresses things that really touched home with me like anxiety and depression but it also had a lot of interesting elements like HP/Not Hp fanfiction and overall it was really touching and funny. As for Carry On, just… the freaking innuendos, sexual tension, and overall hilarity was great, plus it was basically Drarry fanfiction (but also gave me VictorxYuri and Wolfstar vibes).Pride and Prejudice-Jane Austen… It is honestly so good. I love all of the characters and the slow burn love/hate relationship between Lizzy and Mr. Darcy. I could go on for longer about why I love it but I will leave it there for now.The Necromancer- Jonathan L. Howard… It’s about, you guessed it, a necromancer named Johannes Cabal who sold his soul to the devil for the gift of necromancy but his research ends up getting all screwy due to his lack of a soul so he makes another deal with the devil to get his soul back and keep the gift of necromancy. He is also a sass master 5000 he even sasses the devil and the devil gives him a run down carnival/circus (is there a difference? I feel like there is) and a year to use it and collect 100 souls in order to get his back. So he uses his powers to create “people” to help him and gets help from his flamboyant and even sassier vampire brother Horst. There is a lot of animosity between them though for reasons I will not disclose because of spoilers, but they have a classic sibling rivalry and Horst constantly has mic drop moments. It’s not a book you’d think would get you, but it does, I cried. And it has the greatest lines and plot twists. The Perks of Being a Wallflower- Stephen ChboskyMilk and Honey- Rupi Kaur… Honestly, read it, it is so pro-woman, and pro-self love. It is heartbreaking and beautiful.The Scarlet Pimpernel-Emma Orczy… If I am being honest I haven’t finished it yet but it is good
Frankenstein-Mary Shelley… ‘nough said.Phantom- Susan Kay… It is based on The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (I highly recommend it as well) and it is basically a biography of Erik. It explores his relationship with his mom- his mom sucks, he was fresh out the womb and she threw him on the floor and he was basically raised by his dog. Come talk to me more about it I have a lot of feelings- it just gives background on how he became the way he is and I find that super intriguing. Is it Just Me?- Miranda Hart…. if you don’t know who she is watch her show, she is freaking hilarious and I relate to her so hard.Shakespeare…. all the Shakespeare, I haven’t read all the Shakespeare and I really gotta get on that but I’ve read enough to recommend Shakespeare to everyone. He’s a legend for a reason.The Devouring- Simon Holt… It is a horror novel and it is really freaking good. So there are these things called Vours and on the coldest night of the year it goes after people who are most afraid and inhabits their bodies and hardly anyone ever notices, and when they inhabit bodies the soul of that person goes to a fear-scape. So this girl is reading the story to her kid brother thinking it is just a story but then a vour goes after her brother and stuff ensues. It scared the shit out of me when I was younger and remains really great and creepy today. Like this is the poem in it “When dark creeps in and eats the light, bury your fears on sorry night, for in the winters darkest hours, comes the feasting of the Vours.You cannot see it, the life they stole,Your body’s here but not your soul”.The Child Thief-Gerald Brom… A really dark version of Peter Pan. Basically Peter kidnaps abused/neglected/runaway children and brings them to Avalon. There’s a lot of Celtic and Scottish Mythology riddled throughout the novel. Peter uses the children to fight in a war to try and save the dying land. It is so good but triggering.Read Aesop’s Fables and The Brothers Grimm Read all of the Harry Potters-I am leaving so much out including my extensive list of romance novels but I am so tired and this is all I can think of right now))
#books#outlander#outlander diana gabaldon#the child thief#gerald brom#the devouring#the devouring simon holt#fangirl rainbow rowell#carry on rainbow rowell#rainbow rowell#simon and baz#pride and prejudice#jane austen#gettin lazy for my tags#i forgot wicked!

#Empire S3 Ep18: Toils & Trouble~Part 2~ The Finale!! Recap & Review #Coocious
Explosive, Explosive finale! No other choice but to give this episode a (10) rating. Man oh man, I was on the edge of my seats. Let's talk and recap Empire Finale. It's was a don't move out your seat episode and filled with OMG moments.
This episode open with Lucious and Guiliana arriving in Las Vegas. After Mama Leah crazy episode, Lucious has her locked in a room. Mama Leah isn't too happy about that. But she apparently still losing her mind. Mama Leah feels like she had her son back. "It's not sanitary to keep that in here," Mama Leah said. I never expected what we saw. She had Tariq head as a trophy. Yes, Mama Leah is certifiable crazy. Jamaal and Cookie discuss why he decided to be a part of Inferno. Being a part of Inferno will get people excited for his album When Cookie Met Lucious. Sounds like a good idea, but we all know things doesn't go as planned for the Lyons. This album sounds like an excellent album.
I hope this album have its soundtrack. That would be great. It's time they start making some videos for these songs. Jamaal told Cookie he is going to talk to Lucious about her coming to Vegas. Cookie makes it clear; she will only be there to see him perform. I love Cookie and Jamaal relationship. It is very touching. Hakeem is losing his mind over his daughter being missing. He had an entourage of people at his condo. Bella has become his world. If they don't find Bella soon, I wonder what will that do to Hakeem. Anika tried to calm him down but get interrupted by a phone call. Mama Leah called Anika and told her to get her things and her mail unless she wants her to open it. Mama Leah can't stand Anika. I wouldn't go there if I were Anika. Mama Leah is gone crazy, Anika might be her next victim.
Charlotte makes it clear she wants no violence on the streets of Vegas. The Lyons might can't keep that promise. Andre and Shine discussed their take down and take over plan for Leviticus Vegas and Lucious. Shine asked Andre, "You really hate him that much." Shine was preferring to Lucious. Who knows just how much Andre has endured with Lucious being that he is the oldest. Andre want Lucious dead. Shine introduced him to a guy name Franco. He is an expert in blowing things up. Looks like Andre about to create some real fireworks and trouble for Leviticus Vegas and Lucious. He is truly his father's child but to me more dangerous.
Lucious tells Hakeem he was close to finding Bella. He really was but who knows when they will find Bella. The family want Hakeem in Vegas but Hakeem doesn't want to go to Vegas. He wants to stay home, looking for his daughter. Hakeem wants to know why Anika acting so calm. It is strange. As a mother myself, I would be drinking shots, pacing the floor and and eyes blood shot red from crying so much. Anika too calm, very calm.. hmmmm. Cookie and Lucious tries to get him to understand as a mother you have to stay calm. I don't know about all that. A little calm and flooding thoughts sounds more right to me. Anika is at Lucious' house packing. Mama Leah is so happy to get rid of Anika. Her shots at Anika has been so funny. Anika was so clueless. Mama Leah got something up her sleeve. She was looking so devious. That smile was sneaky as hell. She took Anika her mail on a tray. Now, when she suggested using the letter opener; Mama Leah had a nice smile. I just knew she was going to kill Anika. Anika is crazy for sitting there with Mama Leah.
Charlotte have a press conference about the opening of Leviticus Vegas. Charlotte introduced Andre to her husband. She looked worried . I guess she doesn't want her husband to know she sleeping with Andre. She was trying to get away from Andre so fast. Andre threw his own shot at Charlotte about being on top. That smirk on his face was so devilishly.
Lucious has lifted the black book off Cookie. She is invited to the Vegas opening. However, she isn't allowed to come backstage. Lucious plan to franchise his Empire. Cookie wants to know, " who will sit on the throne with him." Guiliana, what the hell!!!! How dare he not have Cookie by his side? Guiliana is a snake. How can he trust her? She in the board room so happy and signing papers. She really acting like Lucious' First Lady. Poor Cookie!! She have to watch the love of life with another woman. She ended things with Angelo because she finally realized, she will forever love Lucious. I guess she came to her sense too late. Then again, them stares Lucious give Cookie seems like love to me. But Cookie is hurt.
Jamaal and Becky is at Leviticus NY. It's open mic night at Leveticus. Jamaal has a little attractive going on with Warren. He was a performer who song Jamaal's song, Born to Love. Could Jamaal be getting a new love interest?
OMG! Anika goes to Ms. Dubois' house. She knew where the baby was and in on the baby being taking then missing. Thanks to Mama Leah, Hakeem followed Anika. I guess Mama Leah still has some sanity in that brain. Hakeem bangs on the door. Angelo enters the room telling him to calm down son. Hakeem tells him Angelo, "I am not your son and thank God my mother didn't marry your ass." I am glad as well. It looks like Angelo is backing the kidnapping of Bella. Oops, the fake kidnapping of Bella. Looks like Anika was in on this all a long. Wow! How cold is that? Maybe Andre should have killed her. Hakeem said he would do anything to see his daughter again. His wish came true. Ms. Dubois rung for them to bring Bella. Looks like Hakeem just agreed to betray his family in order to be in his daughter life. Looks like the Lyon family has meet their match. Ms. Diana Dubois is one devious woman. I must say, Phylicia Rashad is playing the hell out this role. I am loving her being a villian.
Charlotte and Andre about to have sex. Don't seem like she worried about her hubby now. He tells her he made a video of them having sex. Andre is now extorting Charlotte. Boom, payback a mother.
Cookie is backstage. ookie calls Shine and tells him you understand what I mean when I say take care of my family. Lucious catch Cookie backstage when he told her not to be. Guiliana arrived, talking about Cookie doesn't respect boundaries. Lucious calls for security and Cookie said, "they goon better not put his hands on me. I know that damn much". Cookie is such a feisty woman. She be going so hard, lmao. Lucious tells Cookie listen with both ears. He tells her, this club, my money, my fruits and my labor, my kids is all for the woman he love. He had his finger pointed in Cookie face. You can see the steam brewing as she smack Lucious hand out her face. The poison of the snake is gone. Lucious tells Giuliana to kick rocks. Lucious makes it crystal clear, Cookie is the love of his life. He said, " always was and always will be." Giuliana thought she owned Leviticus Vegas but Lucious bamboozled her. Yassssssssss!!!! She was signing everything over to him. Lmao. Reading is fundamental and you can't trust no one. Boom, Giuliana!!! Cookie and Lucious finally got it together. I agree with Lucious, they both made sacrifices. I mean some harsh and deep sacrifices. Cookie wanted to be mad but she couldn't be. Lucious didn't tell her his plans and for some reason, it was all to see a look on her face. He takes her and and tell her come on.
Jamaal comes on stage. Leviticus Vegas present When Cookie Met Lucious. Unbelievable!!!!! Jamaal performs his song Mama. Lucious admits that Cookie was right about Jamaal's album. Jamaal knew about Lucious secrets. Cookie had her own plan in motion. She calls off whatever she had planned for Shine and his boys to do. Shine wasn't happy about that. This was such a touching moment. Jamaal calls Cookie to the stage and sings to her. Awwww!!! So beautiful it was.
Hakeem arrives in Vegas. Lucious asked can it wait. He went and performed a song for When Cookie Met Lucious. Omg, these last scenes had me so teary eyed. Seeing Lucious being the family man he should have always been. Lucious finally realized his family is everything. Jamaal cheering him on to come get his girl. Lucious singing to Cookie, kissing her and smiling.... beautiful moments. The flashback of Cookie and Lucious was perfect. Terrence Howard voice was amazing.
Omg, the damn performer at Leviticus is a Dubois. He was sent to target Jamaal. The Dubois Family has some major clap back for the Lyons. Sadly, they don't see it coming.
Hakeem tells his family Anika found Bella. The family is so happy. He show the family a picture of him holding Bella. Lucious question who house was he in. I can't believe Hakeem lied and said it was Anika parents house. I understand but hate that he is put in this position thanks to Anika. Lucious just set her up for life, how can she betray the Lyons. Cookie going to beat her down when she find out. You played with her grandbaby. That's a no-no.
Mama leah calls Anika again. She tells her she want to send her the rest of her mail. Anika about to get the surprise of her life. Mama Leah hangs up and the police is in front of her. Next thing you know, the police is Anika's hotel room and arresting her for the murder of Tariq. Mama Leah one bad mama.
Cookie sees Barry and his wife. Barry is the guy her father wanted her to marry. Seeing Barry and his wife so happy, Lucious decides to see the world with Cookie. I assume marriage and all. Cookie and Lucious tells Jamaal, Hakeem and Andre that they are stepping down from the day to day operation of running Empire. Lucious hands the Empire over to Andre. He gives Andre the castle. Jamaal and Hakeem are artist and Andre is the one to take Empire to the next level. Lucious admits he was scared of Andre. He tells him his condition cause him to be powerful. Hakeem and Jamaal heads back to New York. Andre tells Shine his father just handed him the company. Shine feels betrayed. He tells Andre he is going to finish what he started. Andre tried to take the device to initiate the bomb. He didn't succeed. Shine tells his boys to take Andre but And got away. He run and warn his father to not get in the car. Next thing you know, Lucious push Cookie hard as hell to the ground but out the way. The car blows up. Omggggg!!!!! All the tender moments ended sadly.
Three months later, Lucious is in a coma. Jamaal, Hakeem, Cookie and Andre all by his side. His nurse comes played by Demi Moore. She is very touchy felly with Lucious. Cookie ready to beat her down. Just as the family about to leave, Jamaal notice his father eyes open. Drop your jaw and hit the floor.... Lucious wakes up from coma and doesn't know anyone. Noooooooooo!!!!! Now is not the time for this to be happening. The Dubois Family is coming. The Lyons doesn't need to be weak right now. They are under attack and the Lyons are man down.
This was a powerful and interesting finale. I am so ready for fall to get here. These months is going by fast so Empire will be back on our TV screens. Get your snacks ready and schedules cleared because Season 4 is going to be full of heat. Stay tune and get prepared!!
