“Empire” Season 2 Episode 5 ended on a cliffhanger, with the kidnapping of Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) by a gang of thugs. When "Empire" returns this week with Episode 6, titled “A high hope for a new heaven,” Lucious(Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) are set to put aside their differences and team up for the sake of their family -- to find Hakeem.

Hakeem, who will be seen struggling with how to feel and act like a man, is likely to be found in Episode 6, as Episode 7 synopsis reveals that he will be seen moulding Laura (Jamila Velazquez) into a star. After the truce in Episode 6, it looks like it is back to business in Episode 7.

And the drama is set to get intense in Episode 8, titled “My Bad Parts,” as Lucious once again tries to assert his power.
