Empire doesn't need another crime subplot... But Cookie's a lot more interesting than Lucious, so this twist opens up a lot more possibilities for the show.

"Dangerous Bonds" points the show in the right direction. A strong follow-up to last week's also surprisingly good episode, "Bonds"... shows each member of the Lyon family following separate paths.

"Dangerous Bonds" is an incredibly dense, chaotic episode, and it's fun to watch even as it makes sloppy, unfortunate choices.
