On the fourth episode of Fox's "Empire," ex-con and jilted wife Cookie Lyon expands her turf, pulling out all the stops to lure a big talent. Tiana (a.k.a. almost-Rihanna) reveals she's in the hip-hop game to win it. And the source of Hakeem's mommy issues is revealed (hint: it rhymes with Shaomi Shmampbell). Throw your handful of confetti, it's time to talk Empire!
