‘Empire’ episodes 11 and 12 (finale) spoilers: Rita Ora, Jennifer Hudson, and Lucious drama

If there is one single thing that we’ve learned about Lucious on “Empire” over the years, it is that this is not a particularly easy gut to work with. Due to this, things could be very close to crumbling in his business arrangements yet again next week. The only twist is that there’s not going to be a whole lot of time to turn things around. After all, we are staring in the face of a pretty epic two-hour finale that features more Jennifer Hudson and also a guest spot from Rita Ora. The show has been renewed, but it could be early 2016 until the series returns to the air.

To get a quick look at everything that is going to be coming up, including Cookie doing some of what she does best (scheming her face off), take a look at the synopsis below:

“Jamal and Lucious are on their way to forming a music-centered relationship, but once again, Lucious has a secret that’s about to change everything. Hakeem decides to flirt with the enemy, while trying to figure out what the best move is for his career. Meanwhile, Cookie is cooking up a plan of her own.”

The promo that was released after the episode was definitely an eventful one, given that you had everything from further violence to music and a little bit of romance. will Cookie and Malcolm heat up now? That’s certainly possible.
