Ep 14. Without All Remedy

Empire season 5 episode 14, titled Without All Remedy, continues where the previous episode left off. The Lyon family is reeling from Hakeem's kidnapping, and Cookie is determined to find her son. She teams up with Lucious and others in the family to track down the kidnapper and rescue Hakeem.

Meanwhile, tensions between the Lyons and the dubiously-named Dubois family continue to rise. Angelo has his eyes on running for mayor, and he believes that taking down the Lyons will boost his campaign. The Dubois family is providing him with resources to do so, and this episode sees him working to take down Cookie and her family.

In addition to the family drama, there are also some romance plotlines in this episode. Tiana and Blake, who have been growing closer over the past few episodes, find themselves in a complicated situation. Tiana's ex-boyfriend Devon shows up unexpectedly, and Blake struggles with his growing feelings for Tiana as he watches her navigate this tricky situation.

As always, music is a key part of the Empire experience, and this episode showcases a range of different performances. Hakeem, who has a reputation as the family's top rapper, is still missing, so other characters step up to fill the void. There are duets, group numbers, and solo performances that showcase the talents of the cast.

One of the standout performances in this episode comes from Jamal, who is continuing to explore new sounds and styles in his music. He performs a soulful ballad that showcases his vocal range and passion for music. There are also some guest stars who make appearances in this episode, adding to the already-impressive roster of talent on the show.

Overall, Without All Remedy is a high-energy episode that keeps the drama and tension at an all-time high. The Lyon family is facing some of its toughest challenges yet, and the Dubois family is a formidable opponent. Despite everything they're up against, though, the Lyon family is determined to stick together and come out on top. As always, their music is a source of strength and inspiration as they fight to protect what matters most to them.
