"Empire" Season 3 episode 6 will turn the Lyon family's world upside down given a cyber-attack that unleashed all of Empire's secrets to the world. Titled "Chimes at Midnight," the episode will further divide the members of the Lyon clan while the leaked information will result to a feud between the company's artists, according to episode spoilers posted on Spoilers Guide.
