How Lucious Tries to Win Cookie Back on ‘Empire’

Lucious may be married to Anika, but on this week’s Empire, he was working overtime to get back together with Cookie. The music mogul was pining for his ex, and was bombarding Cookie with extravagant gifts, covered in gold, filling up her penthouse apartment despite her protests. Cookie wasn’t persuaded, as she returned all the presents back to Lucious, and asked him to respect her boundaries and to keep their relationship strictly business. Lucious had different ideas however, reminding her of the time they first met and telling her that they were meant to be. He even brought a blast from the past and had Biz Markie serenade her his signature song, ‘Just a Friend.’ The alpha Lyon may have something to worry about as a rival for Cookie’s attention looks to be looming on the horizon. City Councilman Angelo Dubois (played by Taye Diggs) had an anti-violence summit held at the Lyon’s club and was starting to get some attention from Cookie.
