"Empire" is finally getting close to its Season 3 finale; and based on the synopsis revealed for next Wednesday's episode 8, it will focus on Lucious and Anika's complicated marriage.

According to TV Guide's synopsis for "The Unkindest Cut," Andre (Trai Byers) sabotages Cookie's (Taraji P. Henson) fashion event in order to get Nessa (Sierria McClain) in the spotlight. Cookie had Tiana (Serayah) onboard to perform at the event, but apparently the performance won't go on as planned. The synopsis also teases: "Tariq (Morocco Omari) teams up with Leah (Leslie Uggams) to bring down Lucious (Terrence Howard); and Jamal (Jussie Smollett) hopes working with Phillip (Juan Antonio) will help him finally overcome his PTSD."

In a video released for episode 8, viewers will have a chance to see more of Lucious and Anika's (Grace Gealey) complicated marriage.

To recall on episode 7, Anika caught her husband checking her out as she was getting dressed, and apparently she will use that to her advantage in next week's episode.

"Anika has found a way in with Lucious," Gealey says in the video. "She's taking that and using it to her advantage."

Fox also released a short promo for episode 8 entitled "Unkindest Cut", which focuses primarily on Andre.It was revealed that he will step up just to help Nessa.

To recall on previous episode, Andre is on a conference call when Nessa walks in unexpectedly, inviting him to the annual memorial for her late brother, Stone. He accepts the invitation just before Shine walks in to complain about Freda Gatz' attitude. Shine thinks he's getting the raw end of the deal, but Andres convinces him that he will take care of things.

Fans will get to see "Empire" Season 3 Episode 8 on Wednesday, December 7 at 9 p.m. EST on Fox.
