Who told Single Ladies to make their resurrection the same night as the 2-hour finale of Empire?! #IJS
Bear with me...I'm sleepy after watching and recapping Empire...
So two key people are missing... Raquel (pregnant during filming??)...and Malcolm (filming one of my favorite shows...Suits??). Apparently Raquel was abducted and has now been deemed deceased by the authorities. The detectives are questioning Omar, Keisha, and April...but they are straight up harassing Terrance (who is also taking it the hardest).
Though Keisha denies knowing where Malcolm is to the authorities, she tells her pastor (played by Nicole Ari Parker) they keep in touch via a hashtag. #SexyBabe It's that hashtag that gets her arrested at Raquel's funeral for aiding and abetting a fugitive. Did her pastor talk to authorities?? No clergy privilege?
Ro, Raquel's half-sister, comes to town for the funeral and to meet with Raquel's attorney. She inherits the condo and boutique. After proposing to Felicia they sell the boutique to invest in several discount clothing stores, she decides to stay in Atlanta.
Speaking of sisters, April is trying to get her sister, Bri, to take life a little bit more seriously...but she wants to pursue a music career.
Felicia has April and Omar on the hunt for members for a girl group, and David and his investor from last season are still in the picture trying to start their own label. Felicia continues to deal with her ex-husband trying to get money out of her, including wanting 20% of her company.
Episode 2 (For those of you who watched on Centric...It looks like BET didn't play it.)
Keisha is still locked up. The DA, April, and Omar try to get her to tell the authorities what she knows, but she refuses. Her pastor visits and tells her she thought Keisha would give Malcolm up, not go to jail behind it. But later in the episode it is revealed she really turned Keisha in to get charges for money laundering dismissed. Keisha gets sentenced to 5 years in prison! O...and Malcolm is sending her messages in prison too. SMH.
April and David get back together, but I suspect he's still up to his old ways. Wouldn't be surprised if he signs the artist April told him she was going to be signing. Felicia and her ex also hooked up, but he's still asking for more money. So she asked her assistant to block his number from all of her phones.
Ro and Felicia sell the boutique and will start selling the bargain clothing on a website. Omar is not a fan.
April has her sister sing in front of Felicia, halfway thinking nothing would likely come of it, and Felicia offered her a spot on the girl group they are putting together.
Meanwhile, Terrance is opening up a club with Austin (played by Melissa De Sousa).
Still no Malcolm and no Raquel....
