The sun has set on Fox's 'Empire' — at least for now.
The sun has set on Fox'sThe turbulent family saga, which took TV by storm when it premiered in 2015, came to its end earlier than expected Tuesday after the coronavirus-relatedforced producers to refashion the two episodes scheduled before the finale – one half-filmed – into one series closer.
Enter youngest Lyon brother Hakeem , who persuades his brother to stay and try to establish a relationship with his young son, emphasizing the finale's theme:"Family is everything. You've got to fight." Viewers don't see a father-son reunion, likely due to the shooting schedule cut short, but the suggestion of one is there.
However, this finale is ultimately about Lucious and Cookie. Throughout the episode, Cookie examines her evolution over the years, and her history with Lucious is underlined with flashbacks, both passionate and violent, from earlier episodes and scenes depicting younger versions of their characters. Afterward, Lucious tries to soothe Yana, pointing out that she's on the verge of superstardom, and they share a hug. In one of the more ridiculous misreads ever, even for a soap, Damon spots the two as he turns the corner, shouts,"You liar!," pulls his gun and shoots.
