Out, Damned Spot is the sixth episode of the first season of FOX television series, Empire, and the sixth episode overall. It aired on February 11, 2015.
Lucious asks Cookie to manage Elle Dallas (guest star Courtney Love), Empire Entertainment's first label star, who hasn't produced an album in years. Vernon is caught in the middle of a very sticky situation. Meanwhile, Jamal is rising to stardom, but his newfound drive and ambition might stir up trouble in his relationships. To make matters worse, a mystery woman from the family's past shows up with a huge surprise. Also, Lucious hires Malcolm (guest star Derek Luke) to be the new head of security at Empire Entertainment.
Cookie expects to meet with Lucious, assuming that he may want to revisit their relationship. However, Cookie discovers that Lucious will marry Anika, with the family invited. Cookie, eventually, becomes enraged, despite Lucious's claim that the rose was a friendly reminder of their anniversary.
Meanwhile, Cookie listens to Jamal’s new song, alongside his boyfriend, Michael. Cookie, very impressed and proud of Jamal's gradual success, promises to get Jamal's song on the charts with or without Lucious. Later on, Michael follows Cookie out to seek her opinion on whether Jamal is changing or not. Cookie responds by stating fame changes people, encouraging him to try to find new things while Jamal becomes successful.
Lucious, meanwhile, continues to suffer from the side effects of ALS, until he discovers from his motion sensor that Detective Walker is going through his trash. Feeling unprotected, Lucious talks to Vernon, demanding that Walker is fired. However, Vernon forces Lucious to reveal that he killed Bunkie in order to protect him. While stating that Bunkie chose his fate, Vernon decides to agree to hire more security to protect his reputation.
Assuming that Andre gave a false alibi for Lucious when he killed Bunkie, Vernon disrupts Andre, aggressively confronting him by putting him into a chokehold. Andre, however, remains unaware of Lucious's deed, and claims that he covers for Lucious, even when he doesn't know the purpose of doing so. After Vernon departs, Andre calls Rhonda at an inopportune time to confirm that Lucious is the main purpose for Bunkie's death.
Michael expresses fear of distance in his relationship with Jamal - while at their apartment, Jamal convinces Michael to believe that their relationship will always come first. The two attempt to find ways to spend time with each other, despite Jamal's sudden focus on his music career.
Vernon vents to his coach, implying that he is attempting to recover from alcohol, about his sudden disappointment towards Lucious and what he did to Bunkie. His coach, however, encourages Vernon to attempt to alienate from Lucious instead of serving his needs. Meanwhile, as Cookie plays Jamal's song at an A&R meeting, Anika makes sarcastic comments, assuming that the finished version is not complete.
