Hakeem and the Lyons went to war with Anika and the DuBois family over Bella on the Nov. 15 episode of \u2018Empire.\u2019 Who ended up with full custody of the littlest Lyon?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Warren is back in the studio with Jamal cheering him on. Dang, Terrell Carter has one amazing voice. Jamal doesn\u2019t understand why Warren is refusing to be on the track. He says it\u2019s because he\u2019s an amateur, but Diana would probably be furious about it. Meanwhile, Andre is seeing a new doctor and starts going on about Pamela. He reveals he \u201ccan\u2019t stop thinking about her.\u201d She\u2019s driving him wild. But the older Lyon brothers have to put their lives aside for Hakeem and baby Bella. They have to be pillars of support for Hakeem as he faces off against Anika in court.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cookie tries to make peace with Angelo when they enter the court, but he doesn\u2019t budge. This is war. Angelo steps up and starts slinging mud at the Lyons. He calls Hakeem \u201cunstable\u201d and a \u201cdrug abuser.\u201d He doesn\u2019t stop there. He says Cookie and Lucious are \u201chip hop\u2019s Bonnie and Clyde.\u201d Tiana gets on the stand and really goes to bat for Hakeem. \u201cShe\u2019s his everything,\u201d Tiana says about Hakeem and Bella. Angelo attacks her on the standby asking about drugs and threesomes. He\u2019s super aggressive, and Tiana breaks down in tears.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Hakeem should be thanking Tiana, he\u2019s mad at her for not fighting back! He blames Tiana for even being in this position in the first place and snitching to Cookie. Tiana walks away and leaves Hakeem high and dry. BYE, BOY!<\/span><\/p>\n

The cookie is next up on the stand. She\u2019s so proud of Hakeem. He turned out good, even though she wasn\u2019t there to watch him grow up. Angelo tries to destroy his ex\u2019s credibility on the stand, but you don\u2019t mess with Cookie. Cookie reveals to the courtroom that she was the one Anika turned to in her darkest hour. Lucious is determined to get on the stand, but the family is not so sure. He puts on quite a show and dupes Angelo with a moving testimony.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hakeem decides on a whim that he\u2019s going to represent himself. He calls Anika to the stand and asks all the right questions that she doesn\u2019t have the answers to. Finally, Hakeem is showing some strategy! What the Lyons don\u2019t see coming is Diana entering the courtroom. She destroys Hakeem\u2019s credibility by showing recordings of Hakeem bashing his family. Anika ends up getting full custody of Bella.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lyons are in complete shock. Cookie runs into Diana in the bathroom and calls the DuBois matriarch a \u201cfilthy, treacherous b*tch.\u201d At Anika\u2019s celebratory dinner, Diana tells Warren that he\u2019s up next to the takedown of the Lyons. Nooooo! Oh, and Andre\u2019s doctor is also in cahoots with Diana.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hakeem is forced to hand over Bella to Anika, and the scene is absolutely heartbreaking. But the Lyons aren\u2019t giving up on Hakeem or Bella. The old Lucious is back, and he\u2019s ready to rumble. \u201cI want blood. I want blood to spill. I want blood to pour like a river,\u201d he says to Cookie in the show\u2019s final moments.<\/span><\/p>\n
