In "Out, Damned Spot," Cookie is invited to a dinner by Lucious, thinking they may have a reconcilement in their future, but she is taken off guard when he announced his engagement to Anika.
"But what about the rose?" asks Cookie.
"The rose was a friendly reminder of where we were yesterday," responds Lucious as Cookie throws the flower at him.
Her feelings are clearly hurt, but then she gets up and reveals the sexy lingerie she has on underneath her fur coat. "You think I came dressed like this for a friendly get-together?"
Later in "Out, Damned Spot," Anika tells Cookie that Empire Entertainment is planning to drop former superstar Elle Dallas (Courtney Love), but Cookie instead invests her time and energy in helping the former start over. Dallas appears to be a drug addict with some serious demons, but Cookie is steadfast in her attempt to give her the comeback she deserves.
Another plot point in the upcoming episode revolves around the release of Jamal's new record, which Cookie will do anything to ensure. Cookie goes behind Lucious and Anika's backs to make sure the song gets the attention it deserves.
"Cookie find a way around everything - everything - life itself, Cookie found a way around," explains Jussie Smollett who plays Jamal.
In the last minutes of Episode 6, a new character is introduced. Olivia, played by Raven-Symoné, makes a shocking entrance.
"Nobody's expecting me, but its okay because if you just tell them that Olivia is here, they'll know me," says Raven-Symoné in her guest role as Olivia.
While we don't know much about who exactly Olivia is yet, she is another member of the family who has come out of the woodwork - and the whole family is very surprised to see her, to say the least.
Finally, as can be gleamed from the Episode 6 promo video, it seems like people are starting to look into Lucious as a possible suspect for Bunky's murder. What will he do to ensure his crime doesn't land him in jail?
