Lucious then proceeded to turn Cookies world upside down.
How will Cookie handle this news?

They were like, You better not kill Cookie!
If you kill Cookie, I am done!
They tell us how things are going to go before we start the season.

I mean, its the end, youve got to go out with a bang.
Thats the only way that Cookie knows how to go out.
Youve just got to pay attention.
Thats what is going to keep people on their toes.
And when you think about it, she should have been in therapy.
Seventeen years of prison what has that done to her?
Hopefully the work Im doing with my foundation will change that.
And hopefully us dealing with it on our show will normalize the conversation about mental health.
Is she done trying for forgiveness?Shes done.
Shes been doing this with this man for her whole life.
And her being done is so evident in her powerful speech at that event.
I love good writing.
Especially with Cookie, because I know her.
The writing this season has been impeccable; they havent dropped one beat.
It feels like Im in a movie.
Wow, Brett is doing such an amazing job with these stories.
When I read it, I felt her.
I just felt the cloud lift and her wings expand when she walked out that door.
I just felt her be lighter.
And she was tired of being stuck.
For Gods sake, this woman has already been in a cage for 17 years.
Dont stay in the cage when youre free.
I think youll really enjoy it when you get to see it.Do you think Ill get an Emmy?!
Cookie deserves a damn Emmy!
[Laughs] Its Cookie that deserves one.
He did that to hurt her.
But when you peel back the layers, you still used that $400,000 and it helped.
Youll see, its all going to be told in the flashbacks.
Thats a good point.And Im sure that money helped springboard into some more money.
Cmon, stop, dude.
But hes so selfish and an egomaniac.
Thats how you know shes really done with Lucious.
She starts to dabble in music and it starts calling her back.
Because thats who she is, and thats what her sisters tell her.
A little bit of jail time.
With each episode, youre getting closer and closer to the end.
This time, its like, No, no!
Were already on episode 10?!
Im glad were going out on top.
People still love this show, but at the same time its so sad.
All good things must come to an end, though.
