Previously on Dynasty...

I had an affair while I was
still married to Blake.

And now I have
a second cousin

who is actually my daughter.

So Leo's dead?
Yeah.

We went too far.
We didn't do anything.

We're not murderers.
Leo was.

Sorry to just
barge in unannounced,

but I'm Eva.
I'm Liam.

We are going to make
a great team

because we've got a new
shopping network to launch.

I'm tired of bribing
politicians.

Blake Carrington is running
to be the next senator

from the great state
of Georgia.

I've accomplished more
in the private sector

than most people could
ever dream of,

which is why I feel called
to the public sector.

I, Blake Carrington, am running
in the special election

for the vacated U.S. Senate seat
in the great state of Georgia

to better the lives
of all Georgians.

Starting with my own.

"My father the senator" has
a gratifying ring to it.

I have never been more
attracted to a politician.

Thank you.

The official announcement
will be here tomorrow night,

with press, so I want you all
by my side.

Fallon!

And... done.

Now, why did you call
all of us down here?

I'm kidding.
Great speech.

I would maybe lose
the, uh, "called to duty" part.

It doesn't really suit you.
Or God.

Can I count on you to be here
tomorrow night or not?

Well, as much as I would love
to stand up there

with everybody else,
waving like a puppet,

I think I have
another engagement.

And if I don't,
I will make one.

With everything that
we have been through,

it is crucial that the voters'
first impression of me

is that I'm supported by
a loving and unified family.

And it's crucial to me
that my company thrive.

Which it currently isn't
because my new shopping network

isn't taking any market share
from our rival yet.

Is it Home Shopping Today?

Because HST has really
stepped up their game.

Yes, Cristal, I'm aware.

Plus, I heard
they're making some

new deal with a rising star

to be their next
featured designer.

You heard right, my niece.

I'm on my way
to their studio now

to talk turtleneck.

You're their new
rising-star designer?

Are they aware that you are
not particularly new?

Yes, and shut it.

And it's a trial run,

but there's already buzz
they're making a deal.

Wish me luck.

Break a leg...

on your way there.

Ooh, ooh.

I have great news.

Perfect.
I could use some.

I hired a new crew to
finish the construction work,

and I got us a meeting
with a vodka company

interested in signing
a sponsorship deal with us

once we reopen.

Seriously, you can think
about business right now?

Yes. Because we are
in business together,

and we are at work.

Well, I haven't slept a wink
since what went down with...

...L-E-O.

Okay, why are you
spelling his name?

And why are you not sleeping?

Leo's death was our fault.

And I'm legit considering
taking time away from here

until I can work through this.

Work through what?

A] Leo was evil.

B] We didn't kill him.

That was Adam's doing.

And C] our expansion is
weeks behind schedule.

I'm no psychologist,
although I could have been.

However, I do know that trauma
must be properly dealt with.

And that involves time
and effort.

Look, I honestly don't know
that I can take a meeting

in my current mental state.

Like I said,
I need time

to get my head on straight.

Wise words.
Anyone care for a drink?

Well, hopefully you can
get it on straight by Tuesday.

Or I can drink alone.

Blake running for senate
is a big swing, even for him.

Although, he is
a rich white male,

so I guess craving power
is in his blue blood.

I find it hysterical
he thinks he can win.

He's got more skeletons
in his closet

than a Halloween
outlet store.

Doesn't everybody
in this family?

But none of us are
running for senate.
Hmm.

Now... a surprise.

These are for you.

Oh, my God.

They're beautiful.

I love them, and I'm not
just saying that,

even though I would.

I have no illusions

that you would lie
to spare my feelings.

Those are from
the Morell side of the family,

and I wanted
to pass them on to you.

After all, you are not
just a Carrington.

You know, it's funny.

When I agreed
to spend time with you,

I didn't really think
I would enjoy it,

but I kind of do.

And obviously the earrings help.

You sound so surprised.

I wasn't sure
I could forgive you after...

Well, we don't have time
for that list.

I just wish
your brother was as forgiving.

I worry that he's never
gonna speak to me again,

and I don't deserve that...
do I?

You see, this is what I thought

spending time with you
would be like.

Drama, issues, more drama.

Fine. No more drama
or Adam talk.

But I will complain about
the stinginess with this rosé.

Garçon!

"I've slayed corporate dragons
my whole life.

"Kicking a bunch
of senators' asses for Georgia

"will feel like a walk

in Piedmont Park."
What do you think?

Maybe a little,
um, aggressive?

Mr. Carrington?

Oh, Andrew, you have not met
my wife Cristal yet.

Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

We've got a small situation
with the campaign requirements.

Well, being my campaign manager,

shouldn't that be
your situation?

Remember how we needed
to submit 36,000 signatures

to the Secretary of State's
office within the week

to get on the ballot?
Don't tell me we need more.

No, it's still 36,000,

but we need 'em by
5:00 p.m. tomorrow instead.

What? Is that even possible?

I have a plan to get...

I have a better plan.
You're fired!

It was an honest mistake, sir.
They moved the deadline because

of the holiday last week,
and I didn't...

Why are you still here?!

Go find some other campaign
to torpedo.

Preferably my opponent's.

We have local and national
media coming here tomorrow night

expecting a huge announcement;
we need a way to fix this.

Well, maybe firing Andrew
was a bit hasty?

He screwed up on day two.

I need someone
I can trust implicitly.

Which is why you should be
my campaign manager.

Me? I-I know nothing about
running a political campaign.

But you know plenty
about running an organization.

You ran your family's
soccer team for years,

and our foundation,
and the clinic.

True, but...But nothing.

You've been looking for a new
path in life-- this could be it.

And we'd get to work together,
side by side.

You're not gonna let me
say no, are you?

Well, this whole thing could
be dead by tomorrow at 5:00.

Please?

I need your help.

Okay.

We have 24 hours to get
the rest of those signatures

and turn them in
for certification.

Time to mobilize.

Okay, so I bought two suits

for the Paysinger Awards
tomorrow night, and I figured

I'd skip the part where
you make me change three times

and just get
your suggestion now.

Yes, the Paysinger Awards.
Of course.

So which one of these says
"excellence in reporting" more?

Is there a third option?

Hey, I need you
to sign these.

Okay, well,
just put them on my desk

along with everything else
I need to sign.

Thank you, Eva.
It's not like I'm gonna win.

The other nominees are legends.

But we'll have a blast
getting drunk

and talking about how much
better I am than them.

Okay, you are going to win,
because we are winners.

Although I am feeling
a bit of a losing vibe

because Dominique is working
with HST,

keeping my network
at number two.

Well, having the second-best
home shopping network

is nothing to sneeze at.

Well, it's nothing to celebrate
either.

And I need her
to get me to number one.

I mean, she just checks
so many boxes, you know?

Her designs are modern,
yet well-priced,

she's a woman of color,
and she's family.

And it's a family dynasty.

Hey, I get it, I do. So just
throw more money at her.

I can't. My network has
a very strict budget,

so I have to be responsible.

I guess I'll just have
to treat her

like I would any other member
of my family.
Good call.

I'll derail her deal, and then,
with nowhere else to go,

she'll come running to me,
and I'll be able to get her

at a bargain-basement price.

What? That's the way my family
treats each other.

Eva.

Hey, the other nominees
may be legends,

but your reporting
blows them away.

Thank you, Eva.

Oh, and, um... go with the blue.

It'll bring out your eyes
even more.

What the hell are you
doing here?

This is supposed to be
a medical house call.

Right. That's not true.

This is my new home,
and I wanted to talk to you,

and I didn't know
how else to do it.

So you had Fallon trick me
into coming here

by asking me to pay a house call
to a sick friend?

Yes. Crab roll?

Right. Yeah, Fallon is right
about one thing;

someone is sick.

You're certifiably insane
if you think

I want anything
to do with you.

Would it help if I admitted
I owe you an apology?

Uh, let's get a little
more specific, I guess.

Are you apologizing
for bringing Oliver in

to break me and Kirby up?

For almost getting Kirby killed?

You know what?
No, it wouldn't help.

Adam, please,
give me one more chance.

The whole reason I moved
into this building

was to be closer to my children

in hopes of spending time
with you both.

Right. Well, you'll get

more time with Fallon,
then, won't you?

All you know how to do is lie.

It's how you get through life
with everyone.

But here's a little truth.

I will never trust you again.

♪

First of all, NeNe,
thank you so much

for taking the time
to chat with me.

I know you're always
crazy busy.

I am, but it is my pleasure.

I met your father once
somewhere at a beach party

in Greece.

Well, I home he wasn't
bragging too much

about the size of his yacht.

Of course he was.

So listen, the reason
I am calling

is about your clothing line
at HST, which I love,

by the way, and your numbers
are just phenomenal.

Which is why I was wondering
if maybe you'd like to

hop on over
to my network instead.

Oh, well, I am flattered,
Fallon,

but I've been with HST
for a very long time,

and as you said,
my numbers are phenomenal,

and they treat me like a queen.

As they should.
It's just that, you know,

now that they've made this offer
to Dominique Deveraux,

people are starting to say that
they might be

trying to replace you.

Replace me?
With Dominique who?

I'm not worried. I don't even
know who that is.

Oh, well, she's a bold new
designer that's absolutely

blowing up, but, you know,
I guess they wouldn't want you

to know that they're
pursuing someone else.

Well, you know what,
I'm gonna call my agent

and figure this out.

I've been with HST
a long time,

and I don't want
to leave now.

I will if I have to,
but I don't want to.

I admire your loyalty,
but before you call,

you know what I would do?
Use my interest in your line

to renegotiate
with them, you know?

Make them back up
the money truck

to prove that they value you.

So you don't mind me

using you for leverage?

Of course not.

But obviously this conversation
stays between us.

Of course, darling.Bye now. Boop.

That was amazing.

It will be amazing
if it stops auntie

from making a deal
with the competition.

Oh, who am I kidding?
I really don't do humble.

It was amazing.

What are you doing here?

I thought I made myself
clear last night.

Adam...
I have rounds.

I just need ten seconds,
and I'll leave.

I know I lost you,

but I wanted to
give you something.

This is a Morell
family heirloom.

It was my great grandfather's.

I was leaving it to you
in my will, but since

I'm basically dead to you,
you might as well have it now.

And that's my ten seconds.

Good-bye, Adam.

Dr. Carrington?

Yeah.
Thank you again

for being so attentive
to my father before he passed.

I was afraid
I wouldn't be able

to make peace with him
at the end, but we did.

Thank you for sharing that.

Look at you.

Okay, should we talk about

the vodka sponsorship meeting
details?

I'm sorry, but there's
no way I can do that meeting.

But they want to meet us both,

and this wasn't exactly easy
to set up.

I have a plan.
Perfect.
Forward momentum

is the key to recovery.

And I think it'll work.

I'm liking it.

So, my abuelitain Venezuela
had a very special way

of dealing with family trauma.

She would take whoever was
hurting into nature,

and they would wait for a sign
from the elements

to show them
how to go forward.

So I'm off to the woods
to get a sign.

I'm liking it less.

The meeting is tomorrow.

And do you even know
where the woods are?

Not a chance.

I'll find them.

So how long does it usually take
before you get your sign?

You can't put a timeline
on recovery.

I recall when I twisted
my ankle one time,

stomping divots for Blake

at a charity polo match.

Took months to heal.
You know what?

I have no idea
how long it's gonna take.

It's a sign,

not a traffic light.

Okay, fine.
Well, I'm going with you

to make sure
you don't miss it.

This is the journalist
I think might win tonight.

She spent a year and a half
with a Buddhist monk

who never spoke,
and then she herself

didn't speak either.

And then she became a monk.

So her acceptance speech
would be, like...

Thank you.

Yes.

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Want to see a plan
come to fruition?

Watch this.
They'll be teaching this

next semester at Wharton.

Dom. Hi.

How did it go over at HST?

I heard they just signed a
huge new deal with NeNe Leakes.

I hope that didn't affect
your deal.

It did. My deal didn't happen.

Your concern is almost touching.

Well, you probably have
a sizeable inventory

you're looking to get rid of.

Luckily, I do have
my own shopping network.

I could help you out.

Could you, now?
I mean, I, you know,

couldn't pay a ton of money,
because we are a new network,

but I'll do what I can
'cause, you know, family.

I appreciate your offer,

but I don't dwell
on my failures.

I pounce on opportunity.

So I'll be closing a deal
with a very well-known retailer

in the next 48 hours.
What?

Oh, and since you clearly
admire my designs,

you should order soon,

because I'll be selling out.

Sorry, no family discounts.

Okay, they should
teach that at Wharton.

I cannot believe Dom snubbed me
for a department store.

Well, snub me once,
shame on you.

I'm almost afraid
to know what you're thinking

because I can just see sparks
flying from your brain.

I'll tell you what
I'm not gonna do.

Dwell. Because I can pounce.

I will beat Dom
at her own game.

This may sound ignorant,
but do you even need

a clothing line?

Yes. Every successful
shopping network

has a signature line.

Okay, right.
And Dom

is gonna be trading all she can
on the Carrington name.

But you know what
there's not room for?

Two Carrington brands.

I mean, there's a reason
you've never heard

of Marc Jacobs' aunt.

Probably because I've never
heard of Marc Jacobs.

So maybe you should call him.

No. I don't need him.

My brand has always been me.

I have been designing clothes
since before I could crawl.

I will create my own line,

and I will announce it
this weekend before Dom.

Hey, look, I-I admire
your competitive fire,

but do you think you
could dial it down

for the awards
dinner tonight?

You know, just in case
I don't win.I'll try.

But it's always
so much more satisfying

when I dial it up.

Adam.

I was just going out
to get some priceless art

for my upstairs hallway.

I've been thinking
about our relationship,

and as much as
I hate to admit it,

the thought of you dying

while there's discord between us
is troubling.

It is troubling.

Why am I the one
who has to die in this scenario?

I'm not sure a peace
between us is possible,

but I'm willing to try.
Well, I am grateful
for the chance

to prove that I can be
the mother you deserve.

Would you like
to go art shopping?

I'm your son, not one of your
bored, pretentious friends.

Good start.

You are always welcome here.

And you can stay over
if you need to.

I was thinking less roommates,

more having a meal
sometime together.

Perfect.
I have those all the time.

You can never lie to me again.

Ever.

I get your message
loud and clear.

Well, I got a couple hundred
at the hospital.

Same with me at the club.
So we're still short?

By about 300.

So now what, door to door?
No time.

I still have to be at the
Secretary of State's office

in an hour, and you have to be
back for your press conference

before people start
asking questions.

Well, you're not gonna be able
to get 300 signatures

by yourself; we'd need an army.

I think I just found one.
I'll call you back.

Hi.

Hey. Would you like to buy
some candy bars?

We need to sell 800 boxes
so we can go to New York

and play in our tournament
at Madison Square Garden.

How about I buy
twice that many,

so after you win
your tournament,

you can stay and see
every show on Broadway?

Thank you so much.

You just need to do me
one favor.

Okay, yeah.

If I hired you to be the
head of my household staff,

would you be comfortable

attending to my
children as well?

To be honest,
I'm not great with kids,

and I don't change diapers.

Wow. I'm flattered
that you think I have

toddler-age children
and appalled

by your lack of research
before this interview.

Ah, perfect timing.

Your ride is here.

Good luck with this one.

Amanda?

What are you doing in Atlanta?

Oh... I've been
meaning to call.

I was so sorry to hear
about your mother.

I'm sure you were.

I wanted to come to London
for the funeral,

but I wasn't sure
cousins were welcome.

Enough of the games, Alexis.
I know you're not my cousin.

Well, of course I am.

I mean, your second cousin.

Your mother was my first.

I know who you really are...

...Mother.

After my mum died,
I found my birth certificate

and adoption papers naming you

as my biological mother

and Gabriel Jurgens
as my father.

I can't believe that
I have been lied to

for my entire life.

I can imagine what
a horrible shock

this must be for you.

I don't think
that you can.

Well, it's a bit
of a shock for me,

and it's kind of the same thing.

I came here to find out
about my family,

so who is Gabriel Jurgens,
and where does he live?

I have no idea.

Blake and I were
having marital

issues at the time,

and I had an affair with
my yoga instructor Gabe.

He was gorgeous, by the way,
so you're welcome for that.

I never told Gabe

about the pregnancy.

I completely lost touch
with him,

and I'm not even sure Jurgens

was his real last name.

The hospital wouldn't accept

"Gabe, yoga instructor" on
the birth certificate, so...

Unbelievable.

I told Blake I wanted a trial
separation for a few months,

and I went to Europe
to have the baby in secret.

That would be you.

So no one here knows about me?

Blake would have kicked me
out of the manor

if he found out.

You and I would have been
homeless and penniless,

and I would have lost
my other children.

Oh, you mean my siblings.
What did you do to get

my mother, or whoever she was,
to even agree to this?

I loved your mother.
We were cousins.

She couldn't have children

and wanted to adopt.

So I gave you to her
and your father

to raise as their own.

Amanda,

this was the best
decision for everyone.

And every few years, whenever
Cousin Alexis popped in

for a visit, you just had
no problem lying to my face.

That was a promise
I made to your mother.

But you're my real mother.

And I believed that
I was an only child.

This is... I can't...

Adam... what are you
doing back here?

I'm so sorry, I didn't realize
you had company.

You said I could swing by
at any time.

Hi. I'm Adam.

I'm Amanda. I'm...Your cousin.

She's your cousin,
all the way from London.

It's nice to meet you...
cousin.

The vultures have arrived,

waiting for a statement,
or blood.

The basketball team went
door to door and came through.

I have the signatures.

Oh, that's great.

Except that rush hour traffic
is a nightmare

and I have 20 minutes
until the deadline.

I don't know if I'm gonna
make it in time.

Honey, maybe you should be
more aggressive.

Hey!

Get out of the way, jackass!

Okay, it sounds like
you've got that covered.

Keep me updated.

I will. Come on!

Since it is a media
circus down there,

just get the team
cranking in here, okay.

But not in a way
that overwhelms me.

Got it. Subtle cranking.

Uh, I'm not sure
what this is all about,

but we need to get going
or we'll be late

for the awards ceremony. Okay?
I heard traffic's a bitch.

Yeah, so is Dominique.

I mean, she's already
convinced Blake to add

five big fashion
magazine editors

to the media list
for the event.

I'm not sure
I see the connection

to my possible Paysinger Award,

or Blake's campaign,
for that matter.

Dom is clearly intending
to announce her new deal tonight

in front of the press,
which will make

my big announcement this weekend

feel like sloppy seconds.

I think I see where
this is going.

Look, if I am going to launch
this Carrington power suit,

it has to be tonight.

In front of the press,

before Dominique. Okay?

I have seamstresses en route
to literally

sew this thing onto my body.
Eva, where are the seamstresses?

Uh, I was gonna head
back to the office,

but I will call them first.

I am so sorry,

but I am not gonna be able to
make it to your awards ceremony.

Okay? It's just really,
really bad timing.

And, I mean,
you said it yourself, right?

You don't really think
you're gonna win,

so...

just please tell me
you understand.

I get it.
Business before awards.

Thank you.

You are a remarkable man.

They should give you
an award for that.

This is so exciting.

A new family member.

I'm relatively new
to the family,

so I'm just catching up
on a lot of things.

Nonsense.
You're all caught up.

Well, not really.

I want to know everything.
What's your favorite music?

What's your favorite TV show?
Do you have siblings?

Enough already.
Let the poor girl breathe.

It's like the Spanish
Inquisition in here.

I'm fine, and I promise
I will answer

all of your questions.

And I would love
to meet Fallon, too.

Oh, you're not missing much.
She's surprisingly bland.

Uh, I-I need to head to
Blake's press conference

to announce his candidacy.
You should come.

Fallon will probably be there.

Fantastic. We will
see you there.

No, I don't think Father
wants to see you...

You know what,
it's not my problem.

I'll see myself out,
and I'll see you both there.

Well, this'll be fun.

We are not going.
I just didn't want to do

anything suspicious
in front of Adam.

Well, won't it be suspicious
if we don't turn up?

Amanda, you cannot
possibly fathom

how complicated this family is.

Trust me, you would be
thanking me if you understood.

You know, I don't think
thanking you is

at the top of my list.

'Cause you've kept my family
from me my entire life.

And that ends now.

I'm not leaving Atlanta
until I meet my siblings.

And not as their cousin
but as their sister.

So I've seen a hawk swoop,
a cloud shaped like a fist bump,

and two crickets.

Are you sure none of those
were the signs?

I'm sure I'll know the sign
when I see it.

And I don't appreciate you
prioritizing vodka

over the health of my soul.

The trick is burning
the marshmallow

just the right amount.

Maybe the sign is
that there is no sign.

Have you considered
that possibility?

The universe is saying,
"You don't need help from me.

"You're a big boy.

You can do it."

No, I'm sure the reason
there hasn't been a sign

is because of your
hostile energy.

Hmm. Well, I'm not leaving,
so...

Okay, then, I am.

I need a more harmonious
environment.

This is obviously not it.

Not you again.
Why do you get annoyed

at seeing me again?

You're the one who
keeps bringing me back.

Are you ever gonna
leave me alone?

Maybe if you'd stop ignoring
everything I'm saying

and deal with your Leo trauma...

Nothing?

I know you're my psyche.
I hear you yammering on.

It doesn't mean that
I have to listen to you.

So I'm leaving.
Enjoy the woods

and your... marshmallows.

Hey, watch where you're going.

Oh, um, you're-you're Fallon,
right?

Oh, yes, yes.
Yes, I am.

You must be one of
the fashion editors.

Well, this is actually
a little preview

of what I will be launching
tonight.

Between us. Now,
I'd love to stay and chat,

but I have to go find
my father to help

coordinate the evening.
Amanda!

Ah, yes, you look
completely befuddled.

I guess you've met Fallon.

And, Fallon, you look...
uncomfortable.

But I see you've met
our new cousin.

Our cousin is a fashion editor?
Excuse me.

This is our cousin
from London.

You're acting insane,
which isn't

an ideal first impression,

though it is usually
your go-to.

You are the insane one
if you think

that we have a cousin
from London

that I don't know about.

See, this is why
I was worried about

introducing the two of you.

She can be a little
off-putting at first.

And he can be a little
off-putting forever.

I'm enjoying you
making a fool of yourself.

Oh, me? You're the one who let
some floozy from London

convince you that
she's related to us.

Have you tried to sleep
with her yet? He will.

He likes, um,
that sort of thing.

Ah, don't you just love
the smell of publicity?

I convinced Blake to let
me introduce him tonight,

after I say a few words
of my own, obviously.

Aw, nice try,
but full-blood family first.

Which means I will be
introducing Blake,

after I introduce
my fabulous suit.

That's not the agreement.

He gave me the bullet points.
Sorry.

Well, now I have
the bullet points.

I am so glad you got those
editors to come tonight.

You know, now that I'm
announcing my Carrington line.

You're being ridiculous,
Fallon.

Which matches the way you look.

Can you even move
in that thing?

Well, I did have to
have it sewn onto me

due to the time constraints,

and so it's a
little snug, but...

Come on.

Huh?

Oh.

Ooh.

Oh, I think I see
a loose thread.

Excuse me.

Hi, Liam.

Eva, hey.
What are you doing here?

I probably shouldn't have come,

but I wanted to bring you
a little good luck charm.Oh...

I know it's silly,
but I'm superstitious.

Yeah, me, too. I'm wearing
my lucky underwear.

You probably didn't
need to know that.

No, probably not.
Yeah.

Uh, but I do know that Hemingway
is your literary hero.

Wow. Impressive.

I've read a little bit
about you,

since I'm a fan of your writing.
You are?

Yeah, absolutely.
I loved your article.

Which is why I wanted
to give you this.

Hemingway always kept
a chestnut in his pocket.

Yeah, for good luck.

That's very sweet.
Thank you.

I should probably go.
But good luck.

Uh, hey, hang on a second.

Since Fallon can't make it,
there's an empty seat

next to me at our table.
You want to stay?

Are you sure?

Yeah. Why not?

When I lose, I don't want
to drink alone.

Sure.
Hey.

Whew. I made it.
Thank God.

Um, it's 5:04, so we're closed.

No. You can't be.
You're still open.

The door's open,
but the office is closed.

Too late. We open
tomorrow at 8:00.

I understand I am
240 seconds late,

but I believe that you will be
serving the greater good

if you accept these signatures
and application.

You know how closely they're
monitoring Georgia elections?

I'm not breaking the rules
for you.

I understand,

and I admire
your commitment to your job...

You see these eight stacks?

These candidates
followed the rules.

That's why I'm going to review
and certify their candidacies.

I've got a lot of work to do,
so, uh, bye now.

Do you have any idea
who you're talking to?

Look, lady, I don't know
and I don't care.

Perfect.

What the hell are you doing?

No... stop it!
What are you doing?

Oh, no.

Oh, you're a crazy person.

Are you gonna invalidate
all of these applications now?

Of course not.
They were submitted on time.

Great. But since you don't know
which application is which,

I guess you're gonna have
to certify all the candidates.

Even the one that was
240 seconds late.

I do apologize for the mess.

Maybe this will help you
get through your overtime.

I come in peace.

Oh, really?
Because I'm in pieces.

And I'm guessing
you've come to gloat.

Well, I thought about it,
but no.

Blake insists upon
waiting for Cristal,

and he wants
the whole family present.

Well, I am not
going down there.

I look like a Real Housewife
who's been through a shredder.

I can help you
with your suit.

Why would you want to help me
after everything I've done?

It's obvious you pulled
all of this crap

because you were trying
to lure me

into joining your network.

On some level I'm flattered.

Well, props to you
for getting to that level.

The bottom line is,
we are family.

Crazy family, but family.

Okay, fine, but if you
poke me with this,

then everything
I'm about to say

goes out the window.

The truth is,

I owe you an apology.

I let my ego get in the way
of what would have been

a mutually beneficial
business arrangement.

Yes, you did.

It's just not easy for me
to admit that I need...

anything, but I needed you
at FSN.

I didn't exactly hear
an apology in there.

Okay, fine. I'm sorry.

Well, you should be,
because this could have

been great for both of us.

We'd make a pretty badass team.
We still can.

Good as new.

There's a lot of media
downstairs.

What do you say we announce
a new partnership tonight?

Love your ability
to compartmentalize,

but tonight should probably
be all about Blake. You know,

got to support family, right?

Go away.
Not interested.

Understood.

Don't blame me.
I'm just a manifestation

of your deepest thoughts,
and right now you're thinking

you have a substantial problem.

You're right.

Or I'm right.
Whatever.

The problem is,
Sam is falling apart

because of the Leo situation,
and we're not going to be able

to close the vodka deal.

And that's it?

I mean, you're at peace
with Leo's demise?

No guilt, no remorse?
Soldiering on.

A man you incapacitated
winds up dead,

and it doesn't affect you?
You're cool with it?

Except of course
you're not.

Otherwise we wouldn't be
having this conversation.

But what would I know?
You know I'm not cool.

You know I see Leo's face
every time I close my eyes,

and we are not having
this conversation right now.

Because I don't know what else
you want me to say!

How much longer, Blake?

We've got deadlines and lives.

Once my wife arrives,
we can begin.

Never thought I'd see
your face here again.

Believe me, neither did I.

But I need to see Adam,

and as much as I despise Blake,

it can't wait until tomorrow.

I saw him talking to
Fallon and some woman.

Not only are you the most
beautiful woman in the world,

you're also the most impressive.

You're too sweet.

Now, share your great news
with the world.

Let's do this.

Oh, no. I'm too late.

Thank you.
Thank you all for coming

on this momentous day.

My name is Blake Carrington,
and I am running...

I can explain.

I didn't want to
tell you the truth

because I didn't want you
to hate me.

But yes, it is true.

Amanda is not your cousin,
she is your sister.

Now I'd be happy to take
any of your questions.

Wait, we have a secret sister?!

You didn't tell them?

You told me not to.

I should go.

Thank you all for coming,
and enjoy the crab cakes.

You have to believe me,
this is not what I intended.

We have to believe you?

That is the funniest thing
you've said since you told me

there'd be no more
drama with you.

Wow.
Adam...

No.I made a bad choice

in the past; you can't
punish me for that.

This isn't about
the past, Alexis.

You lied to my face today,

for the last time.

Don't forget to vote
for Blake Carrington.

Do you think Alexis
is telling the truth?

Rule of thumb,
she's always lying.

Do I want to think about her
having an affair and a child

while we were married
a second time? No.

Relevant press was
about my senatorial bid.

Which only happened because
you pulled off a miracle, hmm?

Well, I did what anyone
would have done.

Oh, you're being humble.

A rare trait amongst
Carringtons.

Which is why I almost
didn't recognize it.

No, you proved yourself
to be a highly capable

campaign manager,
just like I predicted.

You were right.

I could be good at this.

But...

...this is your path, Blake,

not mine.
What are you saying?

I will be with you
every step of the way

and do everything I can
to help you win this election,

as your wife.

I'm not gonna lie,
I'm disappointed.

But I get it.

Your path is out there,

and I will be with you
every step of the way

to help you find it.

I love you...
Senator Carrington.

Got a minute?

Not if you're gonna pretend
that chandelier is a sign.

Or talk about vodka.

I was a jerk to you
out there,

and I feel terrible
about it.

I was pushing you to get over
the whole Leo nightmare

when the truth
of the matter is...

I'm not over it,

at all.
You're kidding.

I'm not... kidding
or over it.

I've been struggling.

I've been having a lot
of conversations

with myself.

I lashed out at you because

it was easier than
dealing with it.

And I'm sorry, man.

I appreciate that.

And I know I'm not supposed
to talk about signs,

but I feel bad my energy
kept you from finding one.

Well, like I said, signs can
come in different varieties.

And I think I got one.

That's great news.

Was it the hawk?

I knew it was the hawk.
I knew it.
Nope.

It was not the hawk.

You see, I was worried that
our partnership was doomed,

but then you walked
in here

and you said you were
sorry, so...

So I'm the sign.

You're the sign.

I wish we would have
figured that out in the woods.

But I'll take it.

Who knows if we'll ever get
full closure over Leo?

But, uh... it'll be easier
to turn the page together.

That sounds a hell
of a lot better

than trying to do it alone.

I have to find out how much
I am paying for security here

because it is too much.

Well, I told them at the front
I was your daughter.

And I was intending
on saying that to Adam

and Fallon tonight, but
I realized that you were right.

Our family situation is
off-the-charts complicated.

And I get

that you were trying
to shield me from that.

I wasn't hiding you
from your siblings

because of that.

I was hiding myself from you.

I don't understand.

You're the only child I have

who doesn't currently think

I'm a complete monster.

I didn't want Fallon or Adam
to poison your mind

before you got to know me.

I was so happy to have
a clean slate with you.

Because the sad truth is,

you're lucky you didn't
have me as a mother.

You're being too tough
on yourself.

Mm, I think I'm being
the right amount of tough.

Trust me, I can be a nightmare.

I would like to put
today's drama behind us,

start fresh so we can
get to know each other.

I would like nothing more.

And I hope you'll
stay here with me.

This belonged to
my great-grandfather.

It's very meaningful to me,

and I would like one
of my children to have it.

So I've officially been
your daughter for a minute,

and you're already giving me
a family heirloom?

Look, I just don't want
to take anything

or promise anything
or commit to anything.

Let's just take baby steps
and see how it goes.

It is an honor
just to get nominated,

but winning kicks ass!

You won?I won.

Oh, my God!
That's amazing.

I mean, I knew
you were gonna win,

but I'm so proud of you.

And in addition to being
an award-winning writer,

you are also
a ridiculously wise man.

I am indeed.
Wait, I am?

Yeah. You were right
about my Dom situation.

I let my ego
get in the way,

but that problem
has been solved.

Oh, do I get an award for that?

As a matter of fact...

Okay.

Wow. That is beautiful.

Thank you.

Had I listened to you,

I would have been
by your side tonight,

which is where
I should have been.

Thank you for saying that.

I really do appreciate it.

And, uh, thank you for this.

You're welcome.

I'm exhausted.
Let's go to bed.

Okay.

You won't believe what
happened here today.
