Lucious' (Terrence Howard) big dreams for his entertainment business will become apparent in the upcoming episode of the hit FOX series "Empire."

In "True Love Never," TV Guide reports that Lucious is laying down the groundworks to make Empire a force to reckon with in the world of entertainment. He is reportedly thinking of forging a partnership with Jago (Patrick Mulvey) to make his record label "a global music monolith." Will his dream be realized? Right now, Empire was a mess, at least, on the familial aspect of it.

Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) is still angry with his parents because of the kidnapping. He and his brother Jamal (Jussie Smollett) both believe that Lucious and Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) are to blame for what happened. It certainly does not help that Andre (Trai Byers) is egging them on. Hakeem busted his performance on stage last week because he could not contain his resentment. His father even gave the track that was meant for him to his protégée Anika (Grace Gealey).

Andre is reportedly being kept busy managing his new talent, a rapper with a strict Christian background. The artist has a pastor for a father, and his inclusion of bible verses with his performances is proving to be a hit. It is also becoming evident that Andre is having a hard time sticking to his newfound values. For now, he is enjoying the success and fame. Will it last?

While Hakeem is trying to make a star out of Laura (Jamila Velazquez), his mother will be gearing for the company's involvement in a major televised charity concert. Cookie still has no plans to let Lucius run Empire alone, especially as she is receiving so much love from boyfriend Laz (Adam Rodriguez). But what about the man's tattoo that curiously looks a lot like those of Hakeem's kidnappers? Could it be that Laz is behind the abduction?

"Empire" airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on FOX.
