'Empire' Fall Finale Spoilers: What Will Lucious Do For Song Of The Year Award? Alicia Keys To Guest Star
The hit hip-hop television drama series "Empire" has gotten bigger and bigger as the conflicts between the shows' main characters, the Lyons family, seem to be getting nastier as the season progresses. The show is already one episode away from its fall finale on December 2, after which it returns on March 30, 2016 for the second half of the season.
The fall finale, according to a report in CarterMatt, will be an episode categorized as "the craziest installment" of the show yet. With an episode titled "Et, Tu, Brute," the report said that if fans go by the implication of the title, it likely signifies that a big betrayal within the Lyon empire is about to happen.
The episode's official synopsis is as follows: "Lucious makes a reckless play for the streaming service that he believes will make him the most powerful man in music, only to learn that the entire business strategy was part of a scheme that might jeopardize everything for which he has worked so hard. Meanwhile, Cookie decides to plan a concert at the prison where she spent 17 years locked away from her family; and you won't want to miss the last few minutes that will leave you speechless." The report predicts that a huge cliffhanger is in store for viewers of the show.

According to another report in International Business Times, the fall finale will show Lucious very much caught up in his obsession to get the prestigious Song of the Year Award of the American Sound Awards. His obsession is based on his belief that getting this award will prove his greatness. "Empire" showrunner Ilene Chaiken revealed in an interview with TV Guide that the reason why Lucious wants it "more than life itself" is because it is "a symbol of greatness for a man who is wont to say things like, 'I am more powerful than God.'" This obsession, however, may likely mean destroying the career of one of his own sons, Hakeem (played by Bryshere Y. Gray), who is on his mother's (Cookie) side. Hakeem has been nominated as Rapper of the Year by ASA, but his success, according to the report, is not doing his emotional health any good.
In the meantime, one of the sons, Jamal (Jussie Smollett), will be performing with Alicia Keys, who is guest starring as an ASA award-winning singer Skye Summers.
The fall finale episode airs on December 2, Wednesday.
