Their deaths haven’t 100% been confirmed, but it’s hard to imagine Cookie surviving if she really was in the car, and Lucious can only escape death so many times, right?
The big question has really been what happens in the lead-up to their possible demises, and “Talk Less” may have revealed that Andre is the one to kill (or try to kill) his parents.
The final season of Empire continues to build to two events that fans know are coming: Lucious getting shot in the mansion and Cookie’s car exploding, possibly with Cookie inside.
