Its time to get the Trust Tour on the road!
Damon explains how hes going to clean up the sloppy job Lucious has done covering their tracks.

), and Maya trying to get everyone to see her as a choreographer and not just an assistant.
An odd move, considering the look on her face implies that shes developing her own feelings for Blake.
The whole team is annoyed by the critiques of a gossipy, non-binary YouTube personality named Hey Beautiful.
British artist Winter caught Jamal stalking his ex-fiance’s exes’ Instagram. She snatches his phone out of his hand and as he tries to get it back, the millennial in me cringed hoping they don’t accidentally like a picture 82 weeks deep. Winter stresses that he needs to get over Kai and under someone cute, but he isn’t trying to hear it. Jamal may have chosen his family’s ambitions over the ambitions of his heart, but the love clearly hasn’t faded.Chuck Hodes/FOX
Shes reminiscing on their time together (to be continued in a sultry wet dream later!)
when Gisele interrupts with plans of how to explain away Damons visit to Empire if the FBI comes knocking.
Of course, Gisele has no problem escorting him there herself.
He finds her crying her eyes out on the tour bus. She says she doesn’t want to continue with the tour, but Lucious persuades her to stay with anecdotes about how he came into his own. It’s a sweet moment that I interpreted as fatherly advice, but Treasure interpreted as advice from a potential zaddy.Chuck Hodes/FOX
Cookie doesnt hide her jealousy, and really?
Andre ignores the side effects and is quickly persuaded by the promise of speedy results.
First, the lights started going haywire.
(Hey Beautiful summed up the free-asco with a pretty amazing GIF of her mid-fall.)
Understandably embarrassed, Treasure runs away crying and Lucious chases after her.
The real performance the next day was one thousand times better at least for Tiana and Treasure.
However, when Jamal took the stage, the whole venue blew a fuse.
Quick on his feet, Jamal asks the crowd to raise the flashlights on their phones.
If the electricity is out, how does his microphone still work, you may ask?
I have no idea.
Winter comes to his rescue, making the performance a beautiful duet.
The celebratory after-party leads to more than a couple alcohol-induced bad decisions.
Sauced and sad, Blake ends up in Mayas room.
Treasure, champagne wasted, tries to mount Lucious as a thank you for his kind pep talk.
Thinking Lucious has betrayed her yet again, Cookie is done sacrificing her happiness for his.
Its her turn to be selfish.
Damons creepy smile says it all.
I obviously dont condone murder, but I can see why Lucious snapped.
What do you think?
