Cookie (Taraji P. Henson) has finally gotten what she's always wanted on Empire -- control of the company she helped build -- but her new position of power will come with some unexpected consequences for the Lyon matriarch.
"You will see a very different Cookie this season. More reserved," Henson tells TV Guide. "She can't pop off. She's heading up board meetings."
The idea of a "reserved" Cookie is sure to shock fans, but don't worry: Henson promises that this new Cookie will still be the same leopard print-wearing spitfire we instantly fell for, despite her new professional restrictions. "She's still very stern and true to who she is. I think she's doing good in this new CEO position," added Henson.

Empire returns Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 8/7c on Fox.
