The Fox hit television show, screened last week on Wednesday and started off with a bang. Hakeem Lyon (Bryshere Y. Gray) was kidnapped as his alarmed parents Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard) and Cookie Lyon (Taraji P.Henson) desperately look to find their son.

They eventually get Hakeem back after the kidnappers asked for ransom. After that frightening scare Cookie asks a friend for help.

But that grows into a loving relationship but Cookie does not know that her friend is working with the kidnappers.

He is trying to swindle money out of her. So if you are looking for an exciting show to watch, you got to watch Empire.
