I think Ray Austin -- who plays Cookie's father, John Holloway -- is phenomenal. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins New York Times 12/01/2016
You might want to sit down before you read this oh-so-shocking revelation: When Empire put Cookie Lyon at the center of an episode, it got the best episode of its third season so far. Go to Full Review Ali Barthwell New York Magazine/Vulture 12/01/2016

After dinner, Phylicia says that she can tell why Angelo admires Cookie, but if she hurts her only son, she will destroy her. A success as far as any first meeting with a significant other's mom goes! Go to Full Review Lee Jutton TV Fanatic 12/01/2016
5/5
