Empire Recap: What is a Bae?

WNYC Digital | Feb 19, 2015

We're midway through the debut season on Fox's hip-hop drama "Empire," but the seventh episode had the feel of a finale. A quack Russian ALS treatment lands Lucious in the ICU, Cookie and the Lyon patriarch consummate the greatest romance of our time, and nobody's making a newly single Jamal take a paternity test. What is a bae? We'll tell you - it's time to talk Empire!
