Empire Season 3 Episode 7 Recap: Did Angelo"s Mother Warm To Cookie?
Cookie Lyon is a romantic woman, you guys!
On Empire Season 3 Episode 7, Cookie was struggling with her feelings after recounting how her father died, while trying to impress Angelo’s mother.
This paved the way for some flashbacks which gave us the reveal that Cookie was thrown out of her home due to her dealings with Lucious.
As much as she tried to apologize to her father for betraying him, he just couldn’t trust her any more. He died three days later following a heart attack and a video Jamal created showed us just how much he meant to her.
Cookie did not want to mourn the loss of her father, and it’s pretty clear she only did so after all these years. That resulted in her missing a meeting with Angelo and his mother.
When Cookie tried to make things right with Angelo, she got rid of some “hood rats” who were hanging around him because he was alone.
Angelo said the best way to apologize to his mother would be with the family by her side. She agreed, but her family did not want to go to the dinner because they didn’t want to be fake.
Jamal went to Carol to find out the truth about his grandfather, forcing her to reveal the truth about the way he died.
Cookie went to Candace when she realized she was way out of her depth with Angelo’s mother. She wanted to act posh and proper, so Candace schooled her on how to be a lady, while throwing some insults at the Trumps.
When Cookie kicked off her dinner party, she got the shock of her life when Lucious and Anika showed up after Hakeem stole the baby. Lucious took great pride in running his family into the ground.
He called out Jamal for being gay and Andre for being crazy. It was horrific and showed just how much of an ass Lucious could be. He was only doing it to make sure Cookie had no one to love her so he could swoop in and get her back.
Unfortunately for him, Angelo’s mother understood what Cookie was going through and requested that she did not hurt her son. And just like that, they were friends.
Poor Cookie thought it was going to get her on her side. Heck, even Angelo offered Cookie some nookie for being such a good girlfriend.
Elsewhere, Nessa, Andre and Shine conspired against Lucious and brought Freda Gatz back into the fold in a big way. Just when Nessa thought Andre was using her, he brought Freda in and they were all fine.
Freda sung a duet with Nessa in which they trashed the Lyons. It was horrible, but it showed that there was no way Andre was going to be back in cahoots with his family any time soon.
All things considered, it was a weak episode with very little plot progression. Lucious seems to be getting hot under the collar for Anika again and I don’t think I can take them seriously as a couple again.
The second half of the season will need to be AMAZING to make up for the crap fest the first half has been.
What did you think of the episode?

Scheana Marie Shay and Mike Shay: It"s Over!
It is all over for Scheana Marie Shay and Mike Shay.
The couple, best known for their roles on Vanderpump Rules, announced on Wednesday afternoon that they were splitting up after two years of marriage.
Scheana actually filed the official legal documents on Tuesday.
In a joint statement, the reality stars say the following to Us Weekly:
“While we have made the difficult decision to move forward separately, our story will continue on through the love and mutual respect that we have cultivated throughout our 15-year friendship.
Much of the recent speculation and reporting on our relationship has been misguided, and we have come to an amicable decision on all matters.
We might have failed at our marriage, but we are committed to succeeding as friends and will continue to support each other’s personal happiness and professional success.”
Anyone who fires up their Internet connection to watch Vanderpump Rules online or tunes in to Bravo each week is well aware that the twosome has seen its share of trouble of late.
Mike, for example, has battled a substance abuse problem for years.
Earlier this month, Scheana Marie grew concerned when her husband reportedly failed to return home after band practice. She panicked when she was unable to track him down.
In a 2015 episode of her popular reality show, Scheana Marie staged an intervention for her man.
Following a year of sobriety, which followed eight years of a painkiller addiction, there was a fear that Mike has fallen off the wagon.
But he shared a post on Instagram on November 7 that quieted this fear.
“I am not missing. I am sober. I am Happy!!!” he wrote, adding:
“Don’t believe everything you read. I love my wife and will always love my wife. Whatever is going on between us will stay between us! I love my family and my family loves me and a lot of things have been said out is protection and anger by many people.
“I just ready for the next chapter in my life!”
It’s unclear right now whether the divorce is directly related to Mike’s ongoing struggles. But it’s very safe to assume.
His next chapter of life will take place as an unmarried individual.
About a year ago, Scheana sat down with Entertainment Tonight and said the following about her marriage:
“On the show, you don’t talk about being on the show. You know, we’re not the Kardashians. We don’t see cameras and all that.
So, it’s like, it’s hard when we’re fighting about something we can’t fight about for everyone to see, because that is a struggle.
“I don’t like to live with regrets. I like to live and learn. And one of the things, I think, about our show is how real it is. It’s unscripted. We’re a group of friends who love each other, can’t stand each other, and same with Shay.
“You know, we’re not always perfect.”
Heading into this season, she also teased new insights into her marriage.
“You will see a different side to our relationship this season, and that’s all I’m going to say,” she previewed to Us Weekly just a few weeks ago.
It will be interesting to see how the relationship continues to play out on Bravo in the coming weeks, considering episodes were filmed awhile back.
The couple married on July 27, 2014, in a ceremony at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, California.
The wedding was filmed and aired as part of season 3 of Vanderpump Rules. Because of course it was.
