May, 12 2016 | Written by ATLien

Fox TV’s Empire is bringing the HEAT this season… figuratively and literally!

This week’s episode is titled ‘The Rise of Sine’ and the popular hip-hop drama shocked fans as one of it’s main characters took a bullet and was left bleeding on the red carpet.

FoxTV Synopsis:

Hakeem struggles to find a place for his fianc?, Laura, in his career and family; Cookie reveals the truth about Freda’s father to Jamal; Jamal makes a sacrifice for Lucious.
