Finally, Empire is back, baby! The Season 6 premiere episode aired Tuesday and it was full of drama. We opened to a graphic saying it’s nine months from now as Lucious gets shot multiple times. When it returns from the opening, a new graphic says its present day.

Meanwhile, Andre (Trai Byers) has big plans for the Empire company and Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray) wants in. Scroll down to relive the top five OMG moments from the episode!
