He goes as far as to put dabs of paint on the actual piano keys.
So nice how this happens!
Everyones yawning, and the engineer, Calvin, is falling asleep and pressing the wrong buttons.

Privately, they start grumbling, and Calvin tells Porsha hes working them way too hard.
Reluctantly, she agrees, if its one time and in a public place.
But Cookie shrugs her off when Lucious arrives and says hes put Eddie in charge to deal with it.
You havent always been there for me, she says.
when Warren suggests the two of them pick up a third for a littlemenage a trois.
You wanted it, I didnt, he tells Warren.
Once he leaves, Warren gets serious.
I need you to know that this is real, and that I love you.
Jamal, after everything youve been through a speech like this doesnt trigger any sort of concern or suspicion?
Andre, meanwhile, has been freaking out because he cant get Pamela to answer his calls.
He presses her for an explanation, but she says she doesnt want to talk about it.
But actually, she planted the gun to make her shot look justified.
It was wrong, and Im going to get away with it, she says.
Do you still believe I dont trust you?
Calvin, the engineer leading the proposed rebellion at Empire, butts heads with Eddie and Cookie.
Eddie gets fired up, though, and grabs Calvins phone, sending the strike emailforhim.
Cookie is shocked and looks to Porsha, but Calvin whom shes apparently dating?
And with that, she heads out not just to join the strike but to lead it.
Who else gets involved?
Shine and his group of thugs.
Doesnt matter he goes out to join the masses.
Its a nice sentiment, but like…can weplease, pleasekill her off already?
She does absolutely nothing for me, or for this show.
And Thirsty, ever scheming, says hes already started digging up dirt on every single striker.
Its a good strategy…though it feels a little flimsy?
And they all lived happily ever after!
On the way in, Jamal tells everyone hes going to have Warren move in with him.
But then…they get to the restaurant, and whos there in Bellas place?
Diana DuBois, of course, and with her, Warren sits with his tail between his legs.
It becomes clear to Cookie before it does to Jamal.
So I guess this is a setup?
My nephew Warren can provide full details, Diana sneers.
Unfortunately for Warren, before the Lyons arrived, he was trying to getoutof this scheme.
But instead of Jamal yelling, Am I a bet?
Am I a stupid bet?
like Laney Boggs, he knocks Warren to the ground and starts violently punching and kicking him.
Its harshtreatment, but honestly, WARREN HAS BEEN A SNAKE.
A snake workingfor an even more venomous snake!
Yeah, I know, Cookie says.
This triggers flashbacks of Lucious most violent moments, which happened when he was trying to save her.
The old Lucious would have.
Hmm…is she saying that in the hopes that violent Lucious will return?
Or praising his self-control?
I have a hunch its the former.
