In the latest promo of the show, we can Cookie visiting Lucious in prison. He questions her: "Why you looking like Mr T?" To which Cookie explains that she didn't come all the way to prison "to play games with him. Lucious chuckles and says: "Whatever reason, I still love you. I do and I am so sorry that I didn't come to come to visit you all these years in here. This place is hell."
"You have been here 3 months, talk to me after 5 years, there is any justice we will have that conversation," a visibly hurt Cookie replies. "You mean that?" questions Lucious and she hits back at him saying: "You think I don't because I throw you that little concert."
Then, Lucious says that he knows that she wanted to impress that big investor and apologises saying, "Sorry that didn't work out for you babe." To which Cookie explains that she did all this for their son. "It's tearing our babies apart for having you here," Cookie tells Lucious, and the two laugh on a joke Cookie cracks about Anika. The video ends with Lucious saying: "Its crazy how I can love you and hate you at the same moment."
