Though some slaps will be thrown tonight, the episode will center on a rap battle between Freda and Hakeem. Lucious pushes Freda to make Hakeem feel further cut off from the Lyon family line, Jamal continues to keep his ties to Cookie under wraps. Lucious, however, discovers the two have been working together and another Lyon child must choose between mommy and daddy.
With the battle lines drawn across the family, there are still some loyalties that run deep including Hakeem’s instinct to protect Cookie from her latest love interest, Laz. As we know, Laz is trying to drain Cookie’s bank account and is a part of the gang responsible for setting up Hakeem’s kidnapping.
