‘Empire’ Season 1 Finale: Grace Gealey Swears ‘Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned’ For Anika
Best known for her “Empire” role as Annika Calhoun or Honey Boo Boo (former head of A&R at Empire Entertainment), Grace Gealey warns fans that the two-hour ‘Empire’ Season 1 finale marks the return of Lucious Lyon’s (Terence Howard) former fiancée. Like “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” Anika is back with a vengeance and it’s going to get ugly.
"She's desperate; she's hurt; she's angry; she wants revenge," Gealey told Us Magazine before the show’s Season 1 finale. "She's so strong as a person that she's going to fight back. She's going to do exactly what she said she was going to in episode 8 when she was like, 'Listen, you eff with me, I'm gonna take this whole empire down.' So she's definitely going to try."
Now that she lost everything, Anika is totally burned and there is no room for poise and elegance as she will get her revenge no matter what the cost. Drugging a drug addict is only a preview of what she can do, Gealey assures fans that there are more awful deeds that she can do.
The 30-year-old star revealed that Anika’s return will not disappoint fans as she will pull some stunts that will make fans screaming at the TV. Whether the stunts are going to work on her favour or not, Gealey’s Anika is planning a “hostile takeover” with Lucious youngest son, Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray).
“Empire” Season 1 finale also features Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) and Malcom (Derek Luke) get hot and heavy as the show closes its debut season. Henson revealed that she have friends calling her in tears asking for the show’s ending and she felt bad for them because the finale will just “leave people saying, “Whaaat?!”
Other highlights for the “Empire” two-hour Season 1 finale include Snoop Dogg making an appearance as himself, Jennifer Hudson show’s off her pipes as Michelle (Andre’s music therapist) and Cookie is going to make a tough decision with the Feds. See Hakeem and Jamal (Jussie Smollet) perform their father’s hit song “What the DJ Says” on Wednesday, March 18, at 8 p.m on Fox.
