Empire Recap: Sidepieces and Sidearms

Hakeem and Tiana (portayed by Bryshere Gray and Serayah McNeill) aren't quite the happy couple they seem on Fox's Empire.

On the fifth episode of Fox's "Empire," some old-fashioned espionage by Andre and Rhonda outs Tiana and her ladypiece, nearly sinking Hakeem's music video masterpiece. Jamal's boogie down Bronx recording session is interrupted by gunfire. Meanwhile, Cookie's putting the hit out on her enemies and dodging the blowback in killer heels. Ask about her, it's time to talk Empire!
