He’s capable of so much murder and betrayal and is so adept at concealing it behind a mask of loyalty, it would do everyone well for him to keep his head in a holy book. On the eve of Andre’s baptism, these revelations raise the stakes on his choice. It’s great closure to hear Andre apologize to Hakeem and Jamal for coldly using their strife for his personal gain, although the begrudging forgiveness he gets for staging his brother’s robbery is flatly ridiculous, considering how little it took for his brothers to resort to fisticuffs last week. We are reminded that he convinced Cookie to use Jamal as leverage against Lucious last season and that he arranged the stick up at the studio where Jamal nearly got shot by friends of Hakeem. His suggestion that Andre prepare by confessing old sins to the family is extreme, though, considering all you’re expected to bring to a baptism is an open heart and a change of clothes.Īndre’s confessions brings back some juicy back story. For all Rhonda’s stress about the man’s motives, Andre’s pastor seems good intentioned but bumbling. It pays off gloriously: Cookie and Lucious’s church pew whisper fight nearly bests Hakeem and Jamal’s dining room spat for the best back-and-forth of the season so far.

Andre is set to get baptized and he wants to have the entire family present, so he spends a good portion of the episode in tough private conversations arranged to get everyone over their anxiety about both church and each other. Season two of “Empire” is all about extremely awkward Lyon family gatherings, and episode five doesn’t disappoint.
