‘Empire’ Season 3 Spoilers: Finale Synopsis, Promo Video And Photos Released

“Empire” Season 3 is finally coming to an end which means viewers are in for plenty of drama, epic showdowns and of course a major cliffhanger that will leave them speechless.

“Lucious gets ready to launch EMPIRE Las Vegas with Giuliana (Nia Long) at his side,” the synopsis for the finale teases. In the “Empire” Season 3, episode 18 promo, Lucious (Terrence Howard) can be heard telling Cookie that their family company can become a global empire. However, Cookie seems more concerned about who will be sitting beside Lucious on the throne.

Later on in the finale promo video, Lucious can be heard reflecting on his romance with Cookie, stating that she sacrificed 17 years for him by taking the fall for a drug charge and missing out on helping Lucious raise their family. The Lyon patriarch then concludes that Cookie is the love of his life.

The two can then be seen spending time together like a real couple and even sneaking in a few kisses. From the looks of the promo, Lucious is over his romance with Giuliana. During a conversation, Giuliana reminds Lucious that he told her he loved her. However, Lucious reminds her that she once stole $10 million from him.

Lucious and Cookie then gather their sons together to announce that they have made a decision. Although what the decision is about remains unclear, Lucious can later be seen asking Cookie to say “Yes.” Is Lucious finally going to marry the mother of his children? Will Cucious become the new it couple? It’s hard to say what their future holds considering Cookie’s past action could come to light.

“Cookie pulls together her own team of allies to wreak havoc on the opening,” the synopsis for “Toil and Trouble, Part 2” says. In the last episode of the Fox series, Cookie attempted to take Giuliani down by showing the Head of the Gaming Commission, Charlotte Frost (Eva Longoria) evidence that Guiliana has a past of money laundering and consorting with criminals.

These would seem like the perfect evidence to spoil Guiliana’s Vegas plans seeing as Charlotte wanted to keep Las Vegas thug free. However, Lucious showed up offering her a large amount of money which she couldn’t refuse.

Another thing that she couldn’t seem to refuse was her attraction for Andre (Trai Byers). After thinking she was defeated because of Lucious’ bribe, Andre informed Cookie that just because Charlotte took his money doesn’t mean she will be loyal.

The two then set a plan to have thugs wreck havoc in Vegas. Will Cookie follow through with her plan now that she and Lucious have reconciled, or will Andre continue to take down Lucious on his own?

“The final five minutes will leave viewers speechless,” the synopsis for the “Empire” Season 3 finale states. In the last few seconds of the promo, a car can be seen exploding and it looks like someone standing close to it is thrown into the air due to the explosion, but who could it be? Are there other people in the car?

Andre has been plotting all season to kill his father, but will the oldest Lyon son really follow through with his vow? Andre is known to have violent outbursts due to his bipolar disorder, and the young widower who has nothing left to lose seems more determined than ever to take his father down.

“Empire” Season 3, episode 18, airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT on Fox.
