The season finale picked up shortly after the previous episode ended, with Andre flatlining in the hospital with a bum heart.
The doctors did manage to get Andre back, but his heart was still too damaged, and his body was still too toxic from the chemo for him to land a top spot on the transplant list.
Even fans of the Lucious/Cookie romance may have to admit that Cookie’s decision to let Lucious go was pretty justified, although he’d certainly had a tough enough episode even before she dropped the bombshell.
