In last week’s episode, Fox’s ‘Empire’ revealed that Lucious’s mother was, in fact, alive. In last night's installment of the Lyons family saga, "The Lyon Who Cried Wolf," (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/42853-s02e16-the-lyon-who-cried-wolf/?do=getNewComment) Lucious (Terrence Howard) explains why he lied about her death. Mentally ill, she had been put into a state facility when Lucious was a young boy. Then Lucious found her walking the streets of New York one day years later and placed her back into a facility again. Oh. And he blames former President Ronald Reagan for the fact that his mother was out of the facility.
