The time has come for the question we didn't dare ask: Has Empire righted itself? After all the nonsense of the beginning of this season... is Empire steering itself back on course to being an actual good show.

Interestingly enough, there are no childhood flashbacks in this episode. However, moments like when Leah forces Lucious to eat cake, (while wielding a knife a tad too close to him) serve as reminders to those darker times.

For all the Lyon/lion metaphors this show conjures, this week brings a new one: Lucious's mother, Leah Walker, is absolutely not a lion. She's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Every time I try to write off Lucious, something happens that makes me question why he ended up the twisted man he is today. Now we have a definite answer... His mother.
