It's gonna be an intense and exciting week for all of the fans of FOX's hit TV series "Empire" as the show is going to serve up some hot stories that will heat up everyone's night. With the scandals and issues the Lyons family are facing right now, the difficulty level is going to be upped because of unforeseen events. Read on for more spoilers.

Next week's episode is going to be the show's ninth episode for their third season and FOX announced that it is going to be their midseason finale, so fans will have to wait for next year for episode 10. It is titled "A Furnace For Your Foe" and the synopsis, via TV Guide, reads: "In the fall finale, Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) organizes a free park concert in order to help broaden Angelo's (Taye Diggs) mass appeal while he works to win the mayoral bid. Elsewhere, the FBI freezes all of Empire's assets, a move that has major repercussions, as the investigation into Lucious (Terrence Howard) continues."

Exciting, right? Cookie and Angelo's relationship is getting more serious. After meeting Angelo's mother in a dinner she organized, which was ruined by her family, Cookie has now again organized a mass get together that she thinks will help Angelo win his mayoralty bid. In the promo video released for the upcoming episode, this looks like a concert of some sort where thousands of people are free to come.

On the other hand, Lucious and his company never seems to get a break from problems. This time, FBI decided to freeze their company's vital assets. But there's more. According to an article by IBTimes, Lucious is going to turn himself into his half brother Tariq (Morocco Omari). What could possibly happen after this ordeal? Find out the answer and more when Empire airs on Wednesday, December 14, 8 p.m. EST on FOX.
