This is the last time fans will seeJussie Smolletts Jamal Lyonthis season (and potentially forever?
), and his exit is one for the books.
Its a ridiculous lie, but Kai doesnt appreciate his personal business being used as a weapon against him.

That pot-stirring reporter also presses Jamal about his fathers past homophobia.
Lucious essentially throws a fit.
He thinks that the excessive amount of press the wedding has forced him to endure should be enough support.

So much for Lucious evolution.
Jamal storms off, and Cookie informs her caveman husband that hes a jackass.
Nonetheless, everyone is happily mingling, including the parents of the grooms.

Tiana informs Hakeem that shell be attending the wedding with Empires newest heartthrob Devon.
Of course, Lucious already has a shady plan in the works.
He says they deserve this symbol of their enduring love.
Much to everyones disappointment, Andre has also invited Kingsley.
Everything Andre does and says during this weeks hour is VERY suspicious.
Back at home, Lucious is still obsessing over how Damon could have acquired the painting.
Youve let my son down way too many times, Cookie says.
You do it this time, we gon have a problem.
You already have a problem, sis!
His name is Damon Cross!
Speaking of the devil, Damon shows up to the wedding early while Cookie is still directing the set-up.
Unfortunately, Jamal has already seen them.
Hes honestly too old to be this naive.
Lucious is running late for the wedding, but he actually has a good excuse.
Hes not the little boy Lucious threw into a trash can for acting like a btch anymore.
(Remember that??
Lucious has finally come to his senses and would be happy to walk his son down the aisle.
Hes ashamed of how hes acted and doesnt want to cause Jamal any more pain.
The church is decorated extravagantly with flowers and candles everywhere.
Chaka Khan (!!)
sings as Kai and Jamal are each escorted down the aisle by their respective parents.
There are at least 200 guests in the pews.
The reception space is equally lavish.
For grooms who wanted to avoid planning a wedding, this seems HEAVILY planned.
Did they just hand the reins over to Cookie?
Wasnt this thrown together in about a weeks time?
Who just has Chaka Khan on retainer?
Dont you hate when TV treats you like youre dumb??
They kiss passionately, jump the broom, and run down the aisle in joyous love.
He isnt ashamed and wont be made to feel that way.
He finds Andre hiding in a room away from the party, and asks him what hes hiding.
Andre reveals that although the chemo trial killed his cancer, it also has destroyed his heart muscle.
He only has weeks left to live, and he doesnt plan on withering away.
Hes ready to take his own life.
Lucious is shocked and devastated.
He tries to persuade Andre to keep fighting, but Andre is standing firm.
He wants to die as he feels he should have lived: on his own terms.
Its truly tragic timing because Teri has just offered Cookie her own revelation: Shes pregnant!
Do you empathize with Andre?
Do you think knowing Teri is carrying his child would change his mind?
