So Cookie is enabling her son Jamal?


That's ridiculous that she would be so desperate that she would enable him with his drug addiction.

Cookie should put her foot down.

Wrote it too soon....they are doing intervention, sending him to rehab.

I'm sure you know by now that you spoke too soon. Cookie did what any mother in her position would have been forced to do.

Jamal was desperate to succeed with this performance and a failure would have finished him for sure. Cookie was caught between a rock and a hard place BUT she knew what had to be done after that performance.
Boy! Cookie was something else doing the plumbing under that sink!! I was impressed.

I was touched when Jamal gave her a hug after his successful performance. I haven't felt this way about Cookie's motherly love since S1. It was well done. When she told Jamal he had to go to rehab, that was touching and I like how Lucious supported that too.

It is time for Jamal to get the help he needs and I'm glad both Cookie and Lucious are making sure of that.

Great episode.
