He must now choose which son inherits. On the very same day, though, Lucious’s ex-wife Cookie swaggers out of jail after 17 years and immediately demands her share of the business, which Lucious started with the drug money she went down for earning. He says no, sparking an epic love/hate struggle for control of the company and the children’s loyalty.
Season Two picks up three months after the shocking arrest and incarceration of Lucious Lyon. Still in federal lockup, Lucious is trying to run Empire from inside, while Cookie attempts to finalise the hostile takeover of Empire.
