Angelo is also distracted because he keeps getting work emails and texts, so he leaves.

The next scene focuses on Lucious (Terrence Howard) and Anika (Grace Gealey). Anika is singing to baby Bella trying to get her to stop crying, and Lucious walks in playing a lullaby. Andre interrupts their studio session to tell Hakeem about the hack, but Hakeem is still mad Andre hooked up with Nessa. Hakeem wants Nessa to choose between them but she would not do it.

Andre and Lucious suspects Von Miller (French Montana) behind the Empire Records hack. Von denies it. The cyber guy then bursts through Lucious' office door warning everyone not to open any emails. Lucious gets a message saying the hacker is demanding $1 million.

The poor cyber guy is able to figure out some information about the hack. However, he informs Lucious that things just got worse and the hacker now has access to everything, not just emails. Andre volunteers to go through the emails, and holds a meeting with the board members to tell them what is going on. The board members want Lucious to pay the ransom, but he refuses.

Cookie has to leave the meeting when she gets a phone call from Tiana. Lucious interrupts and tells everyone they need to get down to the lobby.

Hakeem is down in the lobby with Tariq (Morocco Omari) right behind them, but everyone is focused on the TV screen. A message then pops up that reads: "Cookie's Cookies." Everyone is confused until nude photos of Cookie start to flash across the screen. Lucious hurls a chair at the TV screening breaking it.

It turns out that Cookie's nude photos which she had intended to be sent to Angelo, ended up in the hands of his campaign manager who banned Cookie from seeing Angelo. Cookie storms into Lucious' office asking if he leaked the photos but he denies it.

Shine denies he was involved in the hack, and Anika believes him. The hacker then sends Lucious another message: "Get ready because there is more."

Because of the leaked photos, and Cookie's past, she breaks up with Angelo telling him that she would not be able to forgive herself if he lost the election because of her. Angelo tries to change her mind, but she asks him to leave. As he closes the door, Cookie starts crying.

Finally, the cyber tells Lucious and Andre that they found a flashdrive in Studio 6, the one Tiana is using. Lucious and Andre pay a visit to Tiana and she tells the only persons who had access to the studio is her friends, her engineering team and Gram. Tiana then remembers that Gram was always taking jabs at Lucious and Andre and she believes he may be behind the hack.

Lucious and Andre pay visited Gramat his home. Gram denies he is behind the hack. However, Lucious and Andre do not believe him and leave Shine and his men to handle Gram.

Meanwhile, Xavier (Samuel Hunt) is freaking out about how to handle the hack and goes to Becky (Gabourey Sidibe) about what he should do so Tiana's image will not be ruined. Becky gives Xavier some good advice and he thanks her promising some credits for it, but he did not, and Becky is not happy.
