It has been a roller coaster ride for viewers of "Empire" season 3. On the first half of the season, Rhonda was killed, Jamal was shot, Freda Gatz was sent to prison, Andre hooking up and Hakeem became a father. Fans of course cannot forget the fights Lyons had and Jamal's almost overdose. However, according to recent spoilers, The Fox show's fall finale is going to be a jaw-dropper plus it will focus more on Cookie and Angelo's effort for their relationship.

With the short video teaser for episode 9 entitled " A Furnace for Your Foe", Lucious seemed to turn himself in to Tariq.

"You want me," Lucious is heard saying to his half-brother as he walks towards him with his arms stretched out.

According to a synopsis via TV Guide, Empire Records faces another big blow when the FBI freezes their assets. The synopsis says the FBI's move "has major repercussions." In the midseason finale, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) also organizes a free concert in a park to "help broaden Angelo's (Taye Diggs) mass appeal while he works to win the mayoral bid."

It can be recalled in the last two episodes of "Empire" that Cookie and Angelo have been making some major stride in their relationship. Cookie begs for a chance to make it up to Diana (mother of Angelo) by taking her out to her favorite restaurant. Cookie grows tired of the charade and gives Diana a concise synopsis of her dysfunctional family - and that she wouldn't trade them for the world. Jamal goes to the piano to sing a song about Cookie. It's soon evident that the lyrics paint Lucious in a negative light; he gets the hint and motions to Anika that they should leave.

While admiring a painting, Diana admits that she's not one to put on airs, and there are similarities in their families, with ancestors doing what they had to do to get by. Diana admires Cookie's internal fire, but warns her not to burn Angelo.

In episode 8, viewers got to see more of Cookie and Angelo's relationship, and while things are heating between them, Diane was warned about letting her son get involved with the Lyons.

Fans will need to wait until next Wednesday to see what happens with Cookie and Angelo's relationship."Empire" Season 3 episode 9 will be airing at 8 p.m. EST on Fox.
