When tonight's episode - "Be True" (as in the Shakesperean "To thine own self...") - dunked the eldest of Emperor Lucious the First's three sons in the baptismal font, it also put him in the hot seat.

Whatever the pleasures audiences take in Empire's familial warfare, I think people also genuinely want to see the Lyons repair their relationships, and it seems as though Andre is laying the groundwork for such a thing to happen
October 22, 2015
Empire Season 2 Episode 5 was a very Andre centric endeavor, as he was looking to confess some sins and getting ready to be baptized.

It's a disappointing twist. There have been so many family feuds and reconciliations in every single episode of Empire this season that there hasn't been a chance for the drama to escalate into a full-blown war, which the show really needs.

It's not that Empire hasn't had good moments in Season 2, but the appropriately named "Be True" is the first time the show has really felt like itself.

In the thrilling episode, Hakeem Lyon (Bryshere Y. Gray) has been kidnapped, while Andre Lyon (Trai Byers) tries to make one with God.

Empire's writers helpfully introduced this new group of antagonists to extort and terrorize Lyon Dynasty right at the moment when it doesn't seem like the First Family of Hip-Hop/Duplicity could hate each other more.

This episode was flipping tremendous.

Being forgiven for mistakes doesn't always equal gainful employment, but in the Empire universe, having a seat at the table is the worth its weight in gold.

Ugh, the twists, the turns, the dramaz!
