Hi. Hi. What's the occasion?

Dad's mother's coming in from France today. Why did Jacqueline ever leave?

I don't know.

But we're gonna find out why she came back.

Jacqueline Perrault is a very wealthy woman.

She could be a tough opponent, Angela.

You know, I stood by for 12 years and watched her wear him down.

Well, that doesn't sound like you. But she was always a ruthlessly ambitious

woman. Then I wonder why Jacqueline has returned to Falcon Crest.

Jacqueline! Mother.

Jacqueline? Angela?

Oh, hey, hold it, guys. Just for a minute. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Why did you unplug it?

Just slow down. She's not the Queen of England.

No, it's worse than that. She's your mother.

Relax. We live here. We're not going to be on display.

Honey, as it is, I have hardly had time to do the kitchen properly. If she'd

given us a little notice, I could have pulled this place together. She's a jet

setter, Mom.

Jet setters like to hang loose.

London one day and Paris the next. Yeah, and here this afternoon.

She's coming to visit us, not to see the antiseptic conditions we live in.

Chase, please.

New York is 3 ,000 miles closer to France than we are here, and she didn't

us for years, right?

Now suddenly we get a call from the south of France with the news that she's

arriving. Sounds like more than maternal instinct to me. It sounds like she is

checking up on us.

And I don't intend to fail the inspection. I mean it.

Think that's it, then?

I mean, why is she coming all the way out here? I don't know. I didn't ask

and she didn't volunteer to tell me.

She just... Asked me not to tell Angela she was coming, that's all.

Maybe she wanted a surprise.

You know,

I don't think I've ever heard Angela even mentioned that one.

Come to think of it, my mother rarely mentioned Angela either.

Michael, come on.

Flight information, please.

Hello, this is Chase Gioberti.

G -I -O -B -E -R -T -I.

Employee number 0129 -72055.

Yeah, I'd like the arrival time on a passenger, please.

I need a bunch of iris. Oh, those mums are nice.

Oh, and also a dozen roses.

And those carnations.

Do you think those will go with the lilies I picked out?

Mm -hmm. I'm kind of looking for a European touch.

Why don't you try the fleur de bois?

Lance! Hi.

Hi. What's the occasion?

Dad's mother's coming in from France today.

Concord to New York. Can you imagine?

So I'm getting some flowers for the house.

Could use a little something, if you know what I mean.

Oh, yeah, sure.

You know, I haven't seen her since I was three, so it's going to be like meeting

her for the first time.

That's $10 .60. Oh.

Tell me, how are the long -stem white roses today? They're lovely, but they're

$60 per dozen.

Three dozen will be fine.

Wow, it must be love.

I like to think of it as a form of insurance.

Are you sure?

I know, but even computers make mistakes.

All right, thanks very much.

Maggie?

Cole, get the, um... Yeah, up.

Maggie?

Maggie? Oh, Chase, honey, would you, um... Would you lift the bed with Cole,

because I'd like to get... 20 minutes, I gotta go. 20 minutes? I thought we had,

like, three hours.

Call the AIA, uh...

passenger information supervisor. She said she landed in Washington,

bumped someone off the wait list for an early San Francisco flight. She didn't

even call.

She probably called from the airport. Tell her I'm on my way. I'll be there as

soon as I can.

Gus was coming over to help me with those crates out back. Tell him I'm

will you? All right.

Well, well.

Take the vacuum and do your room. Forget your room. Do the guest room because I

don't think I did that. She wouldn't be coming here unless she had a very good

reason. What's she like?

Oh, thank you very much, Lance.

Jacqueline Perrault?

Well, she was an attractive young woman, I suppose.

She was born in France, American parents, and she was educated in

A real European, then? Oh, not necessarily. She picked up enough of the

to attract Jason.

But she was always a ruthlessly ambitious woman.

She sounds threatening.

Only to the weak.

Like Jason.

It was pitiful to watch him with her.

You know, I stood by for 12 years and watched her wear him down.

Well, that doesn't sound like you.

Standing by for anything.

Well, she was my brother's wife.

What else could I do?

Well, I guess things have certainly changed around her since then.

That was 30 years ago.

These are a lot less genteel than they were then.

And far below her standard.

Then I wonder why Jacqueline has returned to Falcon Crest.

Couldn't the florist arrange those for you? I wanted to give him a personal

touch. Show our guests that some of us have a little style.

Hey, you want a cold Giverny fiasco on rye? Sure. Oh, but hold the onion, okay?

Yeah.

Dad will be back in less than an hour. I'd better hustle.

What, is your shower broken?

Why don't you want to keep my bathroom nice and clean for our guests?

Boy, if visiting royalty is all it takes to get this place in shape, we'll have

to have Prince Charles and Lady Di over.

Vicki, wait.

Maggie? Jacqueline!

Well, welcome.

Come in.

And this is

Cole? Oh, my goodness, how he's grown.

Yes. Cole, where's that thing?

Victoria?

Call me Jacqueline.

Why can't Charlie do it? Because you're her relative.

And you should take our affectionate welcome to her personally.

Oh, is that what it is? Affection?

Take it.

I'd have thought you would have had this wall redone if you're really going to

live here.

Dad says it gives him a feeling of the past.

He does.

Well, I've never found the past that fascinating.

How long has it actually been since you were here, Jacqueline?

Well, when Chase was small, we had to leave.

Why?

Went to the airport to meet you, but... Oh, there.

Chase.

This is real Golden Sable? Uh -huh.

I can't wait to see all the European fashions.

Well, I really didn't bring that much. I didn't think I'd need... Of course,

you're right.

We never get a chance to get dressed up around here.

I spend most of my time knee -deep in fertilizer and caked with dirt.

And you seem so ladylike to me.

Well, I am.

I just don't get much of a chance to show it.

I guess I'm kind of stuck here for a while, though.

What do you mean by that?

Being stuck someplace is only a state of mind.

I left my parents home in France as soon as I found something better.

Was Jason that something better for you?

Oh, Jason was a wonderful man.

He was a connoisseur of the best things in life.

He spoke all the romance languages as though they were his own.

And music.

Oh, how he loved music.

Sounds like you're really in love.

Yes.

He was a man worth loving.

Then why did you leave him?

You know, you really should visit Paris.

In the spring, the blossoms create their own soft snowfall.

And we could go shopping together and go to all the galleries.

We would have a wonderful time.

This is the dining room table.

It's covered with newspapers. I come downstairs. I've got rollers in my hair.

I've got to have my makeup on, have my makeup on. Cole comes out of the kitchen

with a mouthful of salami, and she's dripping.

It's so attractive.

She'd already left the airport by the time I got there.

And she's so damn gracious. You can't stay angry with her. That's what makes

really mad.

Vicki seems to get along with her awfully well. Yeah, she does.

Hi, Maggie. Oh, hi.

Come on in. How nice to see you. Nice to see you, too. How are you doing? What's

this? This is a little present from my grandmother.

Oh, that's lovely.

It's for your mother.

Well.

And who is this handsome young man?

This is Lance Compson, Angela's grandson.

My mother, Jacqueline Farrell.

Enchanté, madame.

Oh, well, see.

You must be Julia's son.

Yeah. Oh.

How nice.

This is some of Falcon Crest's finest wines.

Chardonnay, Petit Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Well, I won't compare those with my Bordeaux.

There's some good wines coming out of Falcon Crest now, Mother.

Oh, for California, I'm sure.

But here, wine is a business.

And in France, it's an art.

A dinner invitation from Angela.

Isn't that sweet?

Well, from what I can gather, she wants to spend a little bit more time with

Chase before she sees anyone else.

I think her exact words were, how sweet.

I think.

But you know, I got a feeling when I went over there.

What kind of feeling?

That Chase has no better an idea of why Jacqueline has come back to Falcon Crest

than we do.

Well, that's his problem.

But I'm going to find out.

How can I help you?

Just stay out of the way.

the plates up from the right side. Don't you know anything about French service?

No, I don't know anything about French service.

Or German, or Italian, or Chinese.

Does that mean I lose my citizenship?

No, it just means that you don't have any style. Hey, listen, you... Hey, hey,

you two.

I thought you were going out.

Be ready in five minutes. I'll be out in the jeep.

You know, maybe I should call Nicole and make it some other time. I really

should spend some time with Jacqueline. Don't be silly. You made an appointment

with Nicole. I think you should keep it.

But Jacqueline's only going to be... Honey.

Maybe Jacqueline would like to spend some time with your father.

But always with a European flair.

I think that's what attracted Jacqueline to Jason to begin with.

Why? Jason was born right here. I know, but he was always interested in

continental things.

How do you think Emma learned all those French songs?

I must say, Jacqueline certainly doesn't look like she's from around here.

That's enough conversation about that woman.

Grandmother? We didn't mean anything by that. It was just harmless conversation.

What do you mean here?

I have so much to tell her about Uncle Jason and me.

Will you go back to your room and get out of that ridiculous outfit?

Go on.

You didn't have to say that.

Don't tell me what I have to say.

I slammed the door right in my face.

I've never seen her so uptight.

Well, you know, Jacqueline's been living in France all of these years, enjoying

the finest things that life has to offer.

Why would that bother Grandmother?

Well, she's been here, obsessed with Falcon Crest. Maybe she's finally

what she's missed out on.

Why did Jacqueline ever leave?

I don't know.

But we're going to find out why she came back.

My attorneys went over that will with a fine -tooth comb.

But, dear, there could be the... Oh, the dinner was delightful.

Thank you. I haven't had cocoa van like that since... since the last time I was

in the States.

Well, how about some good old American coffee, yes?

The will was very specific.

Now, if Angela had died first, Father would have had Falcon Crest as his.

Exactly. And I doubt if she was about to let that happen.

I have had my suspicions, believe me.

But there's never been any real evidence that Father's death was anything but an

accident.

So long as you think so.

I guess that's all that matters, isn't it?

It's a shame we don't have more opportunity to work on our game, Angela.

I'm afraid I'm involved in something much more challenging than golf. I

this was a good opportunity to get some information and keep it confidential.

I don't know what we found out of all that valuable, but I had direct contact

with my sources in London, Paris, Brussels, and New York, all of whom

that Jacqueline Perrault has in fact been married three times since her

from Jason in 1951.

Did she have any other children?

None.

When Chase left her in Paris in 1958 to join the Air Force, she moved to Monaco,

where she met and married her second husband.

When he died, she was left with six oil tankers.

You know what's happened to the oil business.

Two years later, she married her next husband, a Belgian art dealer.

I don't want to know about her life and love. Just give me the bottom line.

Current assets. Right.

Real estate, investment funds, art collections, jewelry, cash accounts,

and ancillary manufacturing and agriculture, including some prime

northeast of Paris.

The total comes to nearly 50 million U .S. dollars.

Jacqueline Perrault is a very wealthy woman.

So am I.

But I've earned mine.

She could be a tough opponent, Angela.

Sure, Mama.

Good morning.

Honey, I want to get me some butter, please.

Good morning.

Hi. Smells good.

Thank you.

Has anybody seen Jacqueline this morning? She's probably still in bleach.

No, I checked her room already. I thought she'd be down here.

Helping?

She's probably upstairs somewhere.

Father?

Actually, Mom, just some chrysanthemum might be better, don't you think?

She must have gone for a walk. I'll go take a look for her.

Jacqueline?

I'm... I'm Emma... I'm Emma Talley.

I'm Angela's daughter.

I've heard all about you.

You have?

Uncle Jason told me about the time he met you first in Paris.

Must have been so romantic.

It was.

If only I'd seen him before his accident.

Nobody saw him.

No.

What?

Jason was killed in his truck, Emma.

Oh, yes.

Jason was killed in his truck.

Two.

Two?

What do you mean?

Emma?

Julia told me you'd come up here, Emma.

I'm sorry, Mother. I just wanted to...

Jacqueline?

Angela?

Have you been happy all these years?

Happier than if I'd stay here at Fountaincrest.

I doubt if you would have been happy here.

After all, we have to fight for what we have.

Oh, you did more than simply fight.

You dominated everything and everyone you ever met.

You live by taking the life of everyone around you.

Just like you tried to do to me.

Well, if you feel that way, why did you come back?

To warn Chase.

To tell him that I left Falcon Crest for good reason.

And that you constantly undermined his father.

Jason wasn't fit for the life here.

And you consider your daughter Emma fit?

Emma is special.

She has her own way.

But Jason was weak. He just wasn't a vineyardist.

Is that what drove him off a cliff?

His weakness?

When you deserted him, he became a drunk.

He had an accident.

Mother?

I'm coming, Chase.

If you'll excuse me, my son needs me, Angela.

Stir to mash you when you need me.

That thing's so gauche, anyway.

I'm surprised you want to eat here at all. After all, we're only having bacon

and eggs, not pâté and caviar.

Well, we could open some champagne, couldn't we? No, I think that's a rather

good idea. I just went for a little walk.

What were you doing at the cemetery?

Good morning.

A little cheese would help.

Well, I was...

Just about to add some. Mother, breakfast is almost ready. Why don't we

with a little juice? In the dining room.

That's all right. I can muddle through. Thank you.

Seeing Angela just now made me certain of one thing.

This is no place for you or your family. Mother, I know how you feel about this

place.

I spent over 12 years here, and I know what Falcon Crest can do to you.

It took a decent, creative, loving man and destroyed him.

My father's problems are not mine. Things were different for him. I am

different. You'll never make it here.

Angela won't let you.

She has nothing to say about it.

She stopped your father, and she'll stop you the same way, if she can.

What's that supposed to mean, the same way?

Are you that naive?

Do you really believe that you'll be able to succeed where your father

Mother, you have no love for this place, no feeling for the land or what father

was like.

My love is for you. I appreciate that.

Excuse me.

Chase.

Jacqueline.

Please let him go.

I didn't mean to upset him. I know. I know you didn't. You just... You have to

understand that Chase is very sensitive to his past. To his father.

And to this place.

Yes, I suppose he is.

This house, this land, it means a great deal to him, and you can't expect him to

just give it up because you disapprove.

Oh, my approval is not the point.

I'm simply frightened for you here.

Frightened?

But certainly there's nothing better.

Well, the vineyard, the history, the whole wine country lifestyle.

Now, if that's what you're after, you and Chase can come to France, and I'll

give you one of my vineyards.

In the real wine country.

And there you'll have the finest champagne grapes in the whole world.

And without the struggle.

Jacqueline, it's the struggle that my family needs.

Where are you going?

Hey!

But I'm offering you a better life.

Now, if only you and Chase will leave Falcon Crest, we could all be a family

again.

And I need my son.

I need all of you, Maggie.

I thought I might find you here.

You left kind of suddenly.

Yeah Parents can get to you sometime, you know, oh, yeah, I know

Dad after you left Jacqueline invited us all to France She

wants to give us a vineyard in a winery to go with it

You see that flat area out there

We could build a terrific winery right there

A couple of thousand square feet, oak cooperage, loft storage.

Fortified against attack by Angie?

We could make a down payment on this piece this year.

Plant it next year, be harvesting Chardonnays in five.

By that time, we'll have the winery built right here in the middle of our

vineyard. But, Dad, we don't have to go through all this.

We can have it all now.

Just sell our place to Angie and move to France.

Think how nice it would be to be with Jacqueline.

You'd have everything you want. My darling daughter, I've got everything I

right here.

This place, it's always falling apart.

You and Mom work 12 hours a day.

Think how fabulous it would be to live in France.

France would be different, wouldn't it?

Sure would.

But it wouldn't be home.

Vicki, we're just beginning to get our roots right here.

Sure.

But as long as we're here, Angie's going to keep trying to get us out.

Then this is where we make a stand.

You're obsessed with this place.

Dad, if Jacqueline's got a better offer for us, we ought to take it.

But we can't.

Well, I can.

Vicki.

I don't think so.

What did she look like?

Yeah, well, I'll call you later then. I don't know. I've been staying out of the

way. Well, Emma was down there. Emma shouldn't have been there in the first

place. Oh, why would you want to keep her cooped up on a lovely day like this?

Well, you know how Emma is.

And someone might misunderstand.

Like Jacqueline.

I thought you were staying out of it.

Well, I don't see why you care what Jacqueline thinks.

After all, the whole time she and Uncle Jason lived here, all you ever did was

fight like cats and dogs.

Well, we'll just change all of that now.

Hello? Hello, Maggie. This is Angela.

Hi. How are you?

Well, we were just hoping that we might get together with Jacqueline before she

leaves. Well, Angela, I think Jacqueline's going to be around a while

Well, we were also hoping that you all would come over for dinner tonight.

Tonight? Dinner? Well, that sounds very nice. I just... Just a second.

Angela, when I came back this morning, I found Maggie up to her elbows in the

kitchen. So I'm afraid you have no choice but to join us here for the

festivities. Well, it'll be nice and informal.

Just family.

A reunion.

Shall we say seven?

Oh, and don't forget to bring Emma.

I'd just love to see her again.

Yes, seven would be fine.

Jacqueline, what's all this about festivities?

Don't worry about a thing.

We'll call a caterer in the city and you'll bring it all up.

I see. I am rather surprised you'd want to have Angela here at all.

Well, I think we might find it advantageous to play her game on our

Do you think there's enough Sorel sauce?

Yes, miss.

Okay, you're going to be pouring the wine, right?

Yes, miss.

The fumet blanc with the appetizer and the chardonnay with the entree.

The chardonnay is served with the appetizer and the fumet blanc is served

the entree.

Since when are you such an expert? Only you ever made or dried out hamburgers.

I've just never had the help to do things properly.

Have you got any cheese dip?

Cheese dip?

Hardly, sir.

So? What do you think?

Who are we trying to impress, huh?

The caterers. Who else?

This is going to be an interesting evening. Yeah.

Yes. Did my mother say anything about what she and Angie talked about in the

cemetery?

Darling, would you stop worrying, really?

I'm not worried. Stop worrying. Angie and your mother are beyond squabbling,

sure. Whatever took place between them happened over 30 years ago, so...

Graham, 30 years ago, I'm feeling it's just the beginning.

What did you do to me?

Oh, it's part of your charm that you cannot tie your tie.

You look very nice tonight.

Thank you. So do you.

Where's your mother?

I think she'll be down in a minute.

Would you like some sherry?

Calm your nerves.

My nerves don't need calming. I just don't like to be late.

It's rude.

Well, how do I look? You look fine. Thank you.

I'm sorry.

late, but I just wanted to dress properly.

But you've made your appearance, so I'll say goodnight, dear.

Oh, but Mother, I'm going with you.

Julia said it was okay.

Well, not tonight, honey.

But Vicki invited me. I'm expected.

Emma, I think you'll be more comfortable at home tonight.

Oh, Mother, let her go. It's a family reunion.

I thought I looked very nice.

Why didn't you tell me Vicki called?

I've been staying out of the way.

If I had known you wanted me to monitor the phone, I might have been able to

help. Did you have to involve Emma in this? Oh, Mother, let her go.

We'll just be one big happy family. Oh, really?

Just a scotch leaf.

Well,

Julia,

I'm glad you could join us. I was afraid you wouldn't make it.

Oh, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Julia doesn't like to miss anything, you know. I think... Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, it's been so long since I've been in this house.

Well, I won't be in it too much longer. Really? Why?

I'm going to France with Jacqueline.

Oh, Vicki, how exciting.

Isn't that wonderful, Lance? Yeah, it's great. To be living in France.

Good evening.

What a delightful evening it's going to be.

Maggie, it was a lovely dinner. Thank you. Beats cooking, doesn't it?

Falcon Crest Sherry makes an indication.

Yes.

Well, you've come a long way since your father's counties, Angela.

Still, there's no comparison to the true chateau vintages.

Well, we were making good vintages when that winemaker you were married to was

still stomping grapes with his feet.

Well, that's what makes the world go round, isn't it?

Different tastes.

It's too bad that Uncle Jason isn't here.

Don't you think?

Actually, neither Jason nor Chase ever belonged here, Angela.

Oh, I agree with you.

But I can't get Chase to accept my standing offer.

You know, it's no secret that I want to replant your acreage. Yes, I know.

But, ladies, let's not discuss business tonight, all right?

Well, I just wonder why you want a mere 50 acres.

When it's already in the family.

Well, I don't think this is the time to start a debate over family business, do

you? Mother just likes to dominate everything.

Well, to Jason, whose fate was sealed the day his father died.

You never gave him a chance, did you?

I gave him every chance.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother. Mother.

Chase.

This has been a long time coming.

Angela.

I won't let you destroy my son.

I have no interest in destroying anyone.

What about Jason?

He was a man of culture.

A man with style.

He could have been a great man.

But you would have killed him with your bare hands.

before you'd have let him have any part of Falcon Crest.

Did you come all the way over here to tell me that?

Power. That's all you love.

Love? What do you know about love?

The one time you had it, you turned it away.

That's not what happened, and you know it.

I knew what you were up to.

I knew that you were out to take over all of Falcon Crest.

Falcon Crest belongs to those who can control it and make it live.

It belongs to me because I'm strong enough to make it produce.

The future here belongs to anyone who has the skill and the raw gut to take it

away from me. Now, Jason could never do that, and neither could you.

That's why you ran away. The only reason I took Chase away was to keep you from

ruining his life.

Now, why would I do that?

You don't understand, do you?

I don't like you, Angela.

I don't like anything about you.

Now, maybe you've got everybody else believing that Jason got drunk and drove

his truck off the road, but I don't accept that.

That's exactly what happened. Well, Emma seems to think that Jason died more

than once.

That's highly improbable, isn't it? The only thing I really care about is that

my son doesn't become a victim of some accident himself.

You sound frightened.

Oh, I am.

For my son.

Well, why tell me? Tell Chase.

She has told me, but it didn't do any good.

My mother knows me pretty well.

Whenever she told me I shouldn't do something, I usually went ahead and did

anyway.

I've made my own mistakes, along with my own successes.

But you don't know her.

She can be treacherous.

Your father... I'm not my father.

I've learned a lot about Falcon Crest, and about Angela's way of doing

I think we understand each other. Do we?

Then you understand this little adventure you've brought your family on

nothing more than that.

It's hardly an adventure.

This is our home now.

We're here to stay.

Chase, 30 years ago, I had no choice.

Everything was different.

I was only trying to protect you.

I know.

You amaze me, Chase. I thought you were a sensible man, intelligent enough to

know when to quit.

But you're really quite emotional, aren't you?

I don't recall you taking a drink this late in the evening before, Mother.

Never felt the need of one before.

Jacqueline really got to her.

She did not.

Emma shouldn't have been there.

Grandmother, things that Emma said made a lot of sense.

As a matter of fact... Lance, you're on thin ice.

I wouldn't take another step if I were you.

I did still be up.

Hardly turned into a late night.

Yeah, things did break up kind of early.

Some party.

It was a disaster, and you know it.

Still, it was kind of interesting to see Jacqueline go for Angie's throat, huh?

She did no such thing. She was just forced to stoop to Angie's level.

So when are you going to France?

I don't know yet.

Oh?

Lance seems to think you've already got your bags packed.

Listen, I think it'll be great for you.

Well, it is my turn. You got to go to Italy.

Sure. Get out of here for a couple of years.

Live in style like you want.

It'd be good for you to get the parents off your back.

And they'd probably like to get you out of their hair, too.

You really think so?

Vicki, what do you want?

You hate it here.

Nobody likes seeing you put this place down.

Have I really been that obvious?

Subtlety isn't exactly one of your fortes.

Hey, that's one of your French words for you.

Well, I'm going to go hit the leftovers downstairs.

Cole?

Yeah?

You think there's enough for two?

You kidding? I made sure those caterers left everything.

Come on.

Well, this was certainly some evening, huh?

I guess now you know why your mother took you away from here.

I suppose so.

You don't ignore this.

Your mother is frightened for you. Oh, Maggie, Maggie, don't you be

overreacting, too, please. I am not overreacting.

Your mother told Angie about somewhat unfortunate accident.

She was talking about my father.

She was talking about you, too.

Darling, she came here to warn you because she knows how dangerous Angela

Can you imagine what would happen to us if we allowed ourselves to be scared

off?

Besides, the more and more I'm beginning to think Angela overplayed her hand

with my father.

Dad's got your things in the car.

We're ready to go.

You love him, don't you?

After three marriages?

Well, Jason was the first.

I guess he'll always be.

Well, now, when I get back to France, I'll make a few phone calls to the

schools, arrange interviews for you, and then, before you know it, to bien chez

moi.

Jacqueline, uh...

I can't go to France with you.

Well, you really are Chasers' daughter, Victoria.

He's never been a quitter, and neither are you.

You might not like the way things are, but I think you'd rather change them

run away.

Besides, France has been there a long time, and it'll be there when you're

ready.

You know how much I've enjoyed having you here, Zach Lee.

I'm really going to miss you. Me too.

We're all going to miss you.

Well, she's leaving.

Who knows when you'll get a chance to talk to her again.

Mother?

Darling, if there's anything I can do...

If you need some cash.

No, thanks.

But I can give you anything you want.

Your money is not what I want.

What I want is to say you don't have to leave,

you know. You can stay here with us.

You mean that?

Sure, you can.

We could be a family again.

Thank you.

I've waited so long to hear that.

I've probably waited too long to say it.

We haven't had much of a chance to talk lately.

It's been longer than lately.

I know.

I resented you for so long.

For taking me away.

But you're back now.

And you have a new home.

So... Forgive me.

I love you. Oh, and I love you.

That's really the reason I came here, you know. To tell you that.

And that I want us to be a family again.

Why haven't we been able to talk like this before when I was younger?

I don't know.

I suppose we didn't like each other very much.

Never give each other a chance.

Well, we're going to have to change that and make more chances for ourselves.

You're quite a likable lady, you know.

Well, I should be.

I raised you.

If there's anything I can do... If I can help... That would mean you'd have to

come back to Falcon Crest.

And Angela would still be here.

But so would you and Maggie, my family.

Oh, darling.

Jacqueline? Yes?

Au revoir.
