Who will win tonight’s World Series game between the Mets and the Royals? Who cares, Empire isn’t airing because of it!
FOX will not air a new episode of Empire tonight due to scheduling changes surrounding the 2015 World Series. While we understand our baseball fans need closure for the season, we are still freaking out about Hakeem getting kidnapped!
Last week’s episode of Empire ended showing us Hakeem going for a run and then being thrown into the back of a van and being held against his will. We can safely assume that the local thugs around Lyon Dynasty are responsible. However, it’s still unknown if they are going to be asking for a ransom for Hakeem’s exchange or something more.

Hakeem’s been on an emotional rollercoaster lately. First, his brother was chosen to take charge of Empire over himself and his multiple attempts at a hostile takeover didn’t turn out as planned. He and Jamal have been at each other’s throats lately but it’s also because Hakeem can’t be happy for his brother’s success.
On the other hand, Lyon Dynasty isn’t doing too poorly without being tied to Empire. Cookie finally has a plan to have their music played on the radio and Hakeem’s new track, “Dynasty” featuring Timbaland, is a straight up hit.
In the above preview for “A High Hope For A Low Heaven” we see that the family has to stick together to get Hakeem back. Jamal isn’t invited to join due to his own safety but because of how things ended with his brother the last time they spoke, will Jamal interfere anyway? We have an entire week until we find out!
