‘Empire’ Season 5 Episode 6 Air Date, Spoilers: Lucious Shot While Searching for New Talent? Deadly Gamble

“Empire Season” 5 Episode 6 will see the Lyons continuing their struggle to find new talent to help their company survive. In this installment, Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) will be going their separate ways to accomplish their goals. Unfortunately, it would seem that the Lyons patriarch’s chosen path could lead to him getting shot.

In the promo clip of “Empire Season” 5 Episode 6 that is titled “What is Done,” it’s clear that the Lyons are struggling with their company’s current situation. If they don’t bring in more money, everything they have will be gone. However, it would appear that Lucious and Cookie can’t come to an agreement on how they are going to find new talent.

“In an effort to sign more artists, Cookie and Lucious make a bet to see who can find someone first. While Lucious bets on the chance to meet an up and coming rapper in a high stakes poker game, Cookie takes to the streets to find untapped talent in a set of auditions. Meanwhile, Hakeem refuses to leave the studio when his rage inspires what he considers his best music yet and Jamal finds himself at a crossroads when Becky claims he's spending too much time with Kai,” the promo clip’s description reads.

By the end of the short video, someone came in to ruin Lucious’ attempt at finding his new talent. “Empire Season” 5 Episode 6 might even end with him facing down a bullet if he is not careful about how to proceed. Then again, there are some speculations that the robbery is actually being perpetrated by the Lyons, themselves.

As for Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray), CarterMatt asks how his anger will eventually end up costing him everything. It’s the same thing that many fans have been wondering for some time. “Empire Season” 5 Episode 6 will air on Nov. 7.
