Well...I saw that coming. That single rose on Cookie's doorstep was from Lucious for their anniversary, NOT from one of the hitmans of the man she testified against in a grand jury! But it was too late, the family member she hired to kill the hitman already killed him by the time she realized it.
Andre finally successfully created beef between his two brothers, Jamal and Hakeem. Though his and his wife's attempt at hurting Hakeem by revealing that his girlfriend, Tiana, had her own girlfriend, fell through in the end. But when he set it up so that a few of Hakeem's freeloading "friends" would try to rob Jamal at the studio he was recording at, he managed to finally ignite strife between the two. Though Hakeem finished his video, and Jamal finished his track, that didn't stop Jamal from going to Hakeem and accusing him of sending his friends to rob him. Jamal even punched Hakeem in the gut and told him not to underestimate him. After he left, Hakeem called Andre to tell him what happened and to tell him they need to get his video out before Jamal's track is out!
Lucious proposed to Anika (despite also remembering his anniversary with Cookie and giving her a rose), and later asked her father (a doctor) to fraudulently attest to him being in good health so he can secure key man insurance to move forward with the IPO. The father was not a fan initially, until Lucious pointed out the IPO would leave Anika a billionaire when he dies of ALS.
