‘Empire’ season 3, episode 5 preview: When will Terrence Howard, cast return?

If you are excited to see more of “Empire” season 3, we hope that you are the patient type! With baseball coverage getting set to explode on Fox as we get closer and closer to the end of the month, we are going to get some weeks off for other series — including this one starring Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Consider this some further proof that no show, even the ones with good ratings, are immune to having to deal with this sort of thing.

So what can you expect when the show does come back on the air? Well, let’s just say that there could be a little bit of conflict, and also a little bit of brotherly love. The title here is “One Before Another,” and it will air come Wednesday, November 2 provided that the World Series is over by then. If not, it could be another week later.

Synopsis – “Lucious and Andre are on high alert as they wait for Shine to retaliate after their latest business encounter went south. Jamal, who has yet to perform in front of his fans, teams up with Hakeem for a performance that he thinks could help him face his fears. Meanwhile, Cookie is caught off-guard during a routine meeting with her probation.”

Promo – This gives you a little bit of a sense as to what is coming from multiple angles. For Jamal, he’s gotta figure out a way to get back on stage, while Hakeem and Lucious are both looking towards the former’s child as the future of their company and someone who has to be taught the right way. Granted, we’re not sure anyone getting an assessment of what is right and wrong from Lucious Lyon is a particularly smart idea.
