Last week, Vivica A. Fox made a guest appearance on “Empire” as Cookie’s sister, Candace. Anika (Grace Gealey) is upset that Hakeem (Bryshere Gray) is in love with someone else and Lucious grows adamant to buy Swiftstream.

This week on “Sinned Against,” the characters let their emotions get the best of them. Fox returns to team up with Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) in finding Carol (Tasha Smith). Anika makes a drastic move that would lead to Hakeem getting upset.

Here’s what happened in the latest episode of ‘Empire’:

1. Cookie finds out the truth about Laz. When Lucious (Terrence Howard) unceremoniously met Laz (Adam Rodriguez), we know he’s done for. Laz who seems to have developed a conscience and real feelings for Cookie just came crumbling on crunch time. At the conclusion of the episode, Lucious suddenly appears with two of his bodyguards to bust him out.

Lucious had Laz investigated and got the confirmation that he is with the same group of thugs who extort money from rappers as a racket. Cookie held him on gunpoint and checked his tattoo at the back.

2. Alicia Keys guest stars as Skye Summers. Jamal introduces a new collaborator for his next album and introduces the multi-platinum selling artist Skye Summers played by the soul diva.

Jamal (Jussie Smollett) is her fan who is more than excited for the collaboration. Lucious notices Jamal’s rising stock as he grows jealous of the attention that Jamal is getting.

3. Boo Boo Kitty gets some rude awakening. Anika has yet to tell Hakeem (Bryshere Gray) that she might be pregnant with his child. She obsesses and sulks in misery over newspapers containing pictures of Hakeem and Laura (Jamila Velazquez) together. Then she talks to Rhonda (Kaitlin Doubleday) who gives her the advice to fight for her man.

Thinking about Rhonda’s status in the Lyon family now, she barged in on Hakeem and Laura’s rehearsal and tried to mark her territory.

In her one-on-one with Hakeem, he tells straight to her face that her notion of a ‘relationship’ with him is flat out delusional. He tells her that she will never be a Lyon.

4. Rosie O’Donnell guest stars as Cookie’s pal when she was in prison. This week has been loaded with guest appearances left and right. Fox shows up to plant a new storyline involving Cookie and her family.

Tired of Candace’s stuck-up talk, Cookie enlists the help of her pal from prison who is now managing a small café. She helps her find Carol through a crack dealer who has been hanging out with her sister. They soon find Carol who is left with the choice of going with Cookie or Candace. She picks Cookie and Cookie took a bathroom break when Candace hits her back with all the things she’d done when Cookie was in prison.

Later in the episode, Cookie told her to go to rehab or she can’t stay with her at all.
