If fans thought the drama between Anika Calhoun and Cookie Lyon was ugly before on Fox’s hit series Empire, viewers can only imagine how it will escalate when Anika reveals she is not only pregnant, but that the youngest of the Lyon clan, Hakeem Lyon, is the father.

But fans won’t have to imagine Cookie’s reaction because we have the first look. Anika, who awkwardly used to be engaged to the Lyon patriarch Lucious Lyon, before he chose Cookie, crashes a family meeting and announces that she is expecting.

No one seems bothered and Cookie pretty much asks what the point of her telling them is.

That’s when Anika drops the news, “It’s Hakeem's.”

Cookie doesn’t take long to snap on Anika and interestingly enough Lucious; probably for being the one to bring Anika into the picture to begin with.

“Are you that thirsty you trick a** h**?” Cookie asks before slapping Lucious on the leg. The face of Lucious when he finds out his son got his ex-fiance pregnant is also priceless.

Interestingly enough, drama erupts between Lucious and Hakeem, but it doesn’t look like it has anything to do with Anika being pregnant. Instead, Hakeem is pretty livid when Lucious badgers him during an event just moments after Cookie announced Hakeem as the new CEO of Empire, a position Lucious once proudly held before being kicked off of his throne.

Lucious also has a run-in with Cookie after she reveals she knows what happened to Freda’s father. (Lucious killed him in the second season premiere that aired in September)

Check out the teaser for the new episode called Time Shall Unfold.
