WATCH: Taraji P. Henson & Jussie Smollett fill-in the back story for Empire Season 2 Episode 6

After making viewers suffer through a billion scenes of Jamal’s overrated singing and unnecessary unbuttoned shirts showing off his bird chest for the first 5 episodes, Empire hit a slight ratings slump. But now that the series is on a brief hiatus due to the airing of the World Series this week viewers are hoping that the folks behind the series uses this time to tweek a few scenes in the editing room and switch things up a bit for its return next week..

One thing that you can definitely count on continuing on episode 6 is the unfortunate lack of on-screen Black on Black love being depicted this season now that they have Cookie following in the footsteps of her sons by diving into her own interracial relationship with a new love interest.. Watch as Taraji P. Henson and Jussie Smollett give a quick rundown of what else to expect from episode 6 when it bounces back on November 4th..
