3. Hakeem’s booze stupor
This isn’t exactly new, but this week it was an important development in Hakeem’s story line. After receiving news that he’s going to be a father, he made some pretty ignorant decisions even for Hakeem. But, this episode proves that the youngest Lyon is ready to step up and leave the life of partying behind. After starting off the episode in a strip club, getting broken up with and then back together with Laura, we see Hakeem step up to Lucious about the death threats he delivered Anika’s way last episode. Impressed with his son’s “courage,” Lucious agrees to keep off of Anika’s lawn, so to speak. He even calls Laura, and that’s when Hakeem gets back the only good thing that has happened to him this entire season no matter how much he doesn’t deserve it.
Why this is important: It’s strengthened the shaky relationship Hakeem has with Lucious, which could very well split the Lyon family into groups of two again, and Andre being the out lire. I see this relationship either ending in betrayal, or a severe battle of Lyon’s.
