this is the continuation of EMPIRE from season 6. Yana is dead, demon is dead, Jamal is in London. just when Cookie thought she was done with Lucious. WHAT THEN?? you would think the story is done. but tap with me let's see...
Both Cookie and Lucious were thinking of their way out of the mess Valentine was about to shove them in. They brainstormed. They came to a concluded on hiring two people who would pretend to be them.
"They will wear face masks and put on our clothes!" A thought... "How about we just hire a great scientist who can clone us?" another thought.
"I like that!" "I know someone!" Thirsty said.
72 hours of cloning themselves. They planned a gala event at Empire with a knowledge that the FBI would invite themselves. How predictable!
Night of the Event:
While their imposters or "clones" were in the event with everyone else, hosting the event just the way they were trained. The real Cookie and Lucious Were home arguing!! It went from being about Cookie not listening to Lucious to talking about Yana. How? Why? No seriously what?
"You think I don't recognise that her picture is still on your desk Lucious?" Cookie asked.
"What are you talking about?" He asked trying to calm all the way down. Cookie rushed to his study and brought him a frame. "What is this? What the fuck is this Lucious?" She shouted. His jaw dropped

She slammed the frame on the wall.
He picked her up, she struggled then kicked out of his touch. "Let go of me!" She shouted.
She tried to slap him, but he caught her hand and stopped her. At that moment, they were inches away from each other. In a moment of weakness or eroticism, she took her hand and touched his face and... they kissed.
But after a few beats... Cookie walked away from Lucious, he looked devastated and shocked, shocked that she didn't give in to the hit of a moment. She looked back at him. "Cook!" He said...
"Is either me or well... ghosts!" She said and walked out the door, stepping on the photo of Yana from the broken frame, just one last time to let him know that he has really hurt her.
She was not supposed to leave the house until their clones get arrested, so she went out to a balcony. Thinking hard.
Leaving him pacing on the floor, doing the thinking of his own.
They both got an identical message from Thirsty.
*the Clones are been taken to the station. Little white pound cake is in a black SUV to Queens, I'm guessing she's probably heading to JFK international airport, I got her tailed. Get in a car and follow my instructions. I will have Andre and the boys take care of the event.*
They read the message and met in the living room.
"Still want to do this?" He asked. "I'm not doing this for you, so yes, I don't want to go back to jail for you AGAIN!." She said and walked out. He followed her.
They followed the SUV. They caught Valentine/Maya/pound Cake. At the airport. They held her from both sides. She gasped and looked to her right, Lucious faked a smile. On her left it was Cookie.
"Oh, God!" She muttered. "Keep walking!" Cookie said. "Please don't kill me!" She pleaded. "We won't kill you if you do us a little favour!" Lucious said.
"I will do anything Lucious please!" She swore.
They pushed her into a car and drove away. "What do you want me to do?" She asked. "Make a call to Agent Harper. Confess that you played him and everything he accused my wife and I of, was all your doings" Lucious said.
"He won't believe me!" "Make him believe you. Lucious and I will get you in a plane and get you a better immunity. Don't do it, We pop a gun on your head and get in a plane while Our clones are taken to custody, either way, we win!" Cookie said.
They made a call, and Maya said everything Lucious told her to say. After the call, a gun popped on Maya's head. Her body was dumped in the same SUV with a gun in her hand.
They went back home and waited for the storm to weigh off.
They heard it on the radio/TV that all charges against them were completely dropped. Also, Maya killed herself after confession.
The boys stood and cheered. Jamal popped champagne. "We did it!" Hakeem said picking Tiana up in the air. She giggled.
"As if you did anything at all!" Andre mocked his baby brother and wife while rolling his eyes..
Lucious and Cookie looked at each other. She stood up and walked away.
"I thought she would be happy, relieved, excited!" Jamal said looking at his father. He took a deep breath before standing up and following her upstairs.
She was packing. "What are you doing Cook?" He asked. "What does it look like I'm doing?!"
"Stop, stop!" He said grabbing her. "I had that picture because I felt guilty for her death for a long time, I was failing to forgive myself and I thought if I can talk to her picture every day asking for forgiveness I would finally forgive myself. Cook, I want you, I love you. Even when she was alive, all I ever wanted and loved for real is you. Baby, I'm so sorry I let the process of my healing be the reason you doubt my love for you. I forgot all this bitches. With Yana is about self resentment which after today it's no more. The only woman I had never forgotten is you... ...Cook, let's start all over. Let the boys deal with Empire, let's travel the world. Let's run away without having to look over our shoulders. Our names are cleared. We can do this. We can live our lives. I am tired fighting you, I'm exhausted fighting with you, I'm weary of how we fight about stupid fuck. I just want my wife, a life with you!"
She kept quiet. Paused looking in her suitcase. Tears dropped into her packed clothes. She continued to pack...
"Please baby. Please!" He said getting on one knee. "I need you, Cook. I really, really need you," he begged.
She sniffled. "I'm in!" She said sobbing. He stood up. "Pack. We don't have much time to catch a flight to... France!" She said. He smiled and walked closer sniffling her body and kissing all over her. She smiled and then giggled. He picked her up in his arms and nailed her to the wall. "I love you!" He said.
"I love you too Lucious!" They share a passionate kiss. Tongues dancing together. Lips licking. It got nasty and nastier.
A few hours later they were resuming the Empire Event, before catching their late flight. The clones were there.
They played. "Who are the originals" with the audience!. It was fun for everybody.
Tiana and Hakeem performed.
Jamal performed. Ft Porsha
Lucious performed "dream on with you" for Cookie.
"LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF EMPIRE!" Cookie said. "TO THE EMPIRE" Lucious added.
