In Season 2 Episode 18 of “Empire,” Jamal (Jussie Smollett) will be fighting for his life. The Lyon family will also try to fix things. There will be a wedding with many people from Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie’s (Taraji P. Henson) backgrounds coming together.
The episode synopsis stated that after Jamal’s life-changing experience, he will refuse to make music until his family stops its constant fighting and violence. In the meantime, the FBI will be following Anika because as they plan to compel her to testify against Lucious. Cookie will aim to protect her family and hold a meeting at the wedding of Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) and Laura (Jamila Velazquez). She will talk to different people from her and Lucious past. It is expected that there will at least be one more problem despite the happy occasion.
Jamal was accidentally shot after he discovered that Lucious and Cookie were involved in the murder of Freda’s (Bre-Z) father. Freda almost exacted revenge against Lucious by shooting him but Jamal stepped in to catch the bullet. After his shocking finding, he intended to isolate himself from his family.
