‘Empire’ season 2, episode 11 spoilers: Look ahead to midseason premiere

“Empire” is a show that has certainly kept fans waiting for a rather long time to see what happens next, but Fox, knowing full well that they only have so many episodes of the show, opted to make us wait until March 30 for more.

Was this a wise decision? We’ll have to wait and see when the numbers come in, but we’ll admit already that we are a little bit fearful for the ratings.  It will still easily be a hit, but many other shows this spring have shown some sharp declines, even ones that have remained creatively strong. This happens often in the spring, and it also does for shows that take super-long breaks in the middle of the season. Both have impacted “Empire” in their own way.

We don’t want to spend all of our time here thinking about / dwelling on what the ratings could be. Instead, let’s just go ahead and share what is the short synopsis below for next week’s episode “Death Will Have Its Day,” which gives us some hope that Rhonda could make it through what happens to her and end up in fairly-decent place:

“After losing the company he built, Lucious announces he will stop at nothing to regain his power, but Cookie has her own way of handling things. Meanwhile, Rhonda, Andre and the rest of the Lyon family come to terms with a horrific, life-changing tragedy that changes their lives as they know it.”

We’ll be back soon with a few more previews on this episode, so stay tuned…
