Empire Season 2 Episode 3

Finally, its war onEmpire.

On the flip side of the coin, Andre is still a mess.

Just like Andre and Lucious, good and bad material comes in the form of celebrity cameos.

In some instances, like with Sway, the cameo fits naturally in the universe of the show.

All I know is that the best part of this episode is the full introduction of Freda Gaddis.
