Empire season 6 episode 13, titled "Come Undone," is one of the most dramatic episodes of the entire series. As the final season of the show draws to a close, tensions are running high with each character desperately trying to cling onto what they have left.
The episode opens with the Lyon family coming together to celebrate Andre's recovery from cancer. However, the happy occasion quickly turns sour when Lucious starts a fight with Cookie's new boyfriend, Damon Cross. Lucious is not happy with Damon's presence and this sets the tone for the rest of the episode.
Meanwhile, Jamal is struggling with his new role as a father and Cookie is dealing with her unresolved feelings for Lucious. Hakeem is also grappling with his role as a father, but in his case, it's revealed that he may not be as capable as he thought.
The focus of the episode soon shifts to the Empire records takeover plot, with Giselle and Becky trying to convince Hakeem to join their side against Lucious. Giselle and Becky are using Hakeem's love for his wife to manipulate him into turning his back on his family. However, their plan is not as foolproof as they had hoped, and the situation quickly becomes messy.
As the episode progresses, we see the characters' true colors come to light. Cookie is forced to make a tough decision and chooses to protect her family over her personal feelings. Meanwhile, Lucious is forced to come to terms with his own mortality as he faces an unexpected health crisis.
The final moments of the episode are some of the most intense and emotional of the entire series. The Lyon family is torn apart as they struggle to reconcile their past traumas and mistakes. With so much at stake, it's unclear whether they will be able to come together as a family again.
Overall, Empire season 6 episode 13 is a powerful exploration of family, loyalty, and the consequences of one's actions. As the final season heads towards its conclusion, this episode sets up the stage for what promises to be a dramatic and explosive finale.
