Empire Season 3 Episode 17 Recap: A Gruesome Death
Empire has been struggling to keep up the pace in the drama department this season, but things always seem to take a turn for the better when a character dies.
On Empire Season 3 Episode 17, Cookie rallied up her team to cause some drama at Leviticus Vegas. When the episode got underway, Cookie, Candace, and Carol make their way into the venue.
When Giuliana and Lucious spot Cookie on the security camera, Lucious is tasked with getting rid of them. Cookie causes a huge scene.
The episode flashes back two weeks to good old Lucious saying he will find the person responsible for Bella’s disappearance, but he had to deal with Giuliana and the Vegas deal first.
When Thirsty questioned Giuliana about financial records she carries around with her, she gets Lucious to fire him. Yes, he actually fired Thirsty. Like, what the hell?
Cookie bumps into Thirsty and asks him to join her at her house. The meeting consists the Lyon sons, Shyne and some other people who were ready to take Giuliana down.
However, the meeting fell apart when all of them started bickering with one another, prompting concerns that they could not work as a unit.
Cookie turned to her sisters, Porsha, Chicken, and Marcel.
The women take to Vegas to put their plan in motion. However, it hit a snag when Carol could not seduce the security guard on duty.
All was not lost when it was revealed that the security guard was checking out Becky. Becky flirted with him, and the women managed to sneak on through.
Cookie took the financial ledgers straight to Charlotte, who was shocked.
“This is really bad,” she says. “Money laundering, consorting with criminals…”
Just when Cookie thought she was on to something, Lucious strolled in with a bag of money
“I didn’t know Mormons took payoffs,” Cookie barks, but Charlotte replies, “I didn’t know you people were so prone to stereotypes.”
When Lucious and Cookie left the room, but Andre emerged from the shadows, and they were closer than just friends.
In New York, Cookie tells Jamal to release his album to screw up the publicity of Lucious’ album. However, her son told her that he was holding off on it.
The reason? He was joining Lucious in Vegas. Cookie was pissed and started bickering with both Jamal and Hakeem.
Surprisingly, Lucious came to her defense, saying, “Stop ganging up on her,” he says. “She came for me hard and had her feelings hurt. She just needs to lick her wounds.”
Later, Andre visited Cookie to tell her about him and Charlotte. He said she was not a fan of Lucious being in Vegas.
Finally, Tariq managed to save Bella and returned her home. Just as Tariq and Lucious are mending fences, Leah kills Tariq with a letter opener.
Something tells us Leah was in on the plan all along.
What did you think of all the twists?

Jenelle Evans: Feud With David Eason"s Sister Heats Up!
Over the past week, we’ve been keeping you updated on the Jenelle Evans and David Eason’s sister, Jessica.
Both ladies leveled some pretty serious charges (domestic violence, drug use while pregnant, etc.) at one another, but there was a day or two when it looked as though things had settled down … or at least like they had decided to settle the matter privately.
Fortunately for fans of bonkers social media beefs, Jenelle got back to slamming Jessica online earlier this week, and the situation escalated rapidly.
Jessica posted what sounded a lengthy parting shot on Facebook, writing:
“I’ve gotta leave with one last note since my BLOOD BROTHER and his tomfoolery gf are acting up over me seeing my nephew and it made Jenelle jealous:
Whitney Johnson is David’s ex wife.. She is my 2nd BFF, she loves me and I love her. Olivia Leedham David ex is also my friend. I could keep naming but ill stop.
When someone has hurt u but they have a change of heart and they act like they have some sense, u can forgive and love them.
I’ve never had this type of beef w his women so what’s wrong w this puzzle? Never had beef w jamies women either! Amanda Diaz! I love u too booboo“
Little did we know all Jessica was doing was switching venues to Twitter, where she continued to rant about some trash talk from Jenelle.
Though in fairness, it was some pretty severe trash talk:
“She fist fought a kid while 7 months pregnant and now her son has cerebral palsy,” Jenelle wrote in status update last week.
“She needs to stop being such an angry person and stay sober. Drugs make everyone so angry it’s crazy.”
For some reason, it took Jessica days to respond to that remark – on a different social media platform:
“That comment alone is gonna cost her dearly.. dearly!” Jessica wrote.
“How dare she say that about me and my innocent son.. She is a BIG fat liar and a FAKE It shows her evil character. . or lack there of! Ive always been respectful to this girl. She really showed her true self.”
After claiming that David is in the dark about the true nature of his fiancee’s character Jessica hit Jenelle with this zinger:
“U know i will see u again right? U better bring a flat full of mason jars with u where ever u go!”
It’s a reference to the fact that Jenelle allegedly threw a mason jar at the girlfriend of her second baby daddy, Nathan Griffith, and was arrested for assault.
“One more effin word to p!ss me off @PBandJenelley_1 & i PROMISE U i will tell every tiny detail of ur pathetic fake world,” Jessica added.
She went on to accuse Evans of being “jealous” of Eason’s daughter, Maryssa.
Jenelle seems unsure of how to play this one.
Clearly, she wants to go off in true Carolina Hurricane fashion, but at the same time, it’s a future in-law she’s dealing with.
So she keeps dropping bombs like this one …
… then deleting them, presumably on David’s behest.
For her part, Jessica tweeted and deleted an accusation about someone (presumably a child) eating one of Jenelle’s weed gummy bears, and seemed to sense that she’d gone too far.
“Im stopping this on my end,” she wrote shortly thereafter.
“It is making me sick.. I dont wanna bash my bro or his woman bc i know its hurting him. Im stopping for him.”
She proceeded to argue with a random tweeter who accused of her bening afraid of legal action over the gummy bear tweet.
Folks, we’re guessing this thing is far from over.
