Richard, this is Judge Saunders. He's
going to perform the ceremony.

Harry, this is not a good time.

I must say, I don't detect much
enthusiasm for this wedding.

It's your money, Robin.

That's the arrangement we made. I don't
want to sell my baby. Melissa and I can

give her a safe and comfortable home.
Well, I can give her love.

I know you think I'm the keys to the
gates of heaven for you, Grandmother.

you're wrong.

about that, about the way you do
business, and especially about the way

treat your family.

This whole thing is so weird.

I know.

It's the same way.

It's more like buying a new car.

When are we going to sell hope?

It's probably the worst kept secret in
the valley.

If you don't understand, we're just
going to tell her the truth.

Melissa.

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

Wait a second.

We have some business to conduct with
you.

Melissa, you don't have to make it that
personal, person.

Sit down.

What's wrong?

Melissa and I feel that it would be a
good idea to take legal custody of Hope

soon as possible.

I don't need this yet. I mean, I'm going
to be around, you know, nursing her and

stuff. Melissa and I feel that the
longer you stay here, the harder it's

to be on all of us.

You promised me I could stay until Hope
finished nursing. The more time you

spend with Hope, the harder it's going
to be to separate yourself from her. Be

ready to leave within the week.

We should do something. You know, maybe
an engagement party for you and Richard?

Would you like that?

Well, that is really sweet of you,
Maggie, but I think we'll make our own

on this.

Now, look, I don't want you to take this
the wrong way, okay? But where did this

idea of marrying Richard come from?

You know me. Always expect the
unexpected.

Is there anything else we should be
expecting?

Yes.

I would like you and Chase to forget
about my promise to sell you my greatest

fear.

Hold on. That is not a promise. That's a
contract.

Is this Richard's work?

Not in a way, but not like you're
thinking. We just feel that we'd like to

reopen the winery on my property. You
know, running a winery is a big

It's not something that everybody's up
to. He has experience, Maggie. You know,

he has produced wine before.

Richard's attempt.

That producing jug wine could hardly be
called experience.

We're serious about this, Chase.

Believe me, so am I.

Look, this is really important to me.
I'd like to get my marriage started out

the right foot.

And you don't care whose feet you step
on to get there.

Remember how I helped you guys put
Costello behind bars?

Well, maybe now I need a favor in
return.

All right.

I'll tear up our deal. Consider it a
wedding gift.

Thanks, guys.

Terry?

This makes us even. No more favors.

My next favor is mine.

It's going to eat her alive. No.

Or maybe the other way around.

But, Terry, you never can tell.

Hallie, did you deliver Mr. Stabler's
things to his office?

Early this morning, Miss Channing.

Has anybody heard from him?

I'm sorry, no.

However, there was a young woman. She
refused to give her name. We inquired

about Mr. Stavros' briefcase.

What did you tell her?

That I know nothing about it.

Good. Thank you, Charlie.

To defeat your opponent, you must first
relax. Otherwise, you'll defeat only

yourself.

And damage a perfectly good workout bag.

Come on, Charlie, before I cool off.

Would you like to tell me what's
troubling you, Lance?

Yeah, Charlie.

Too much talking, not enough action.

You haven't mentioned Apollonia since
she went away.

Why should I?

I mean, I made the girl a star. She
doesn't need me anymore.

Perhaps it is you who feel the need for
her. I don't need anybody.

I know you, Lance.

You love this girl. That's why you have
to let her live her own life.

If the time comes that you meet again,
then it was meant to be.

You cannot hope to win any other way.

I don't intend to lose any more than
I've already lost, Floyd. Our harvest is

a couple of days. I'm going to have 24
-hour security on this vineyard and on

the Agretti vineyard. Now, you summon my
staff, Chase, but not every single man.

Half of my men are taking accumulated
sick leave to pull double shifts for

and all because of some sneak attack you
think Angela Channing is going to

launch. Since when is being practical so
illogical, Sheriff? Since it started

compromising the effectiveness of the
sheriff's department.

Are your men allowed to do what they
want on their own time?

Within the law, yes.

Are we breaking the law?

No.

Then you better get used to it.

Because as far as I'm concerned, this is
a range war.

You still concerned?

No.

Not having looked through this RSVP
list.

Every field of business will be
represented here today, such as oil,

estate, finances.

You and J .J. will be rubbing elbows
with the best and the brightest.

And the richest.

We've certainly asked for a handsome
contribution.

Well, $10 ,000 doesn't mean anything to
them. I guess it pays to have friends in

high places.

That's why I'm supporting you and J .J.
for office.

Now, I hope you don't forget who your
friends are.

You're going to have to excuse me. I've
got plenty to do before this afternoon's

festivities.

Greg? Hi, Lance. How are you?

Lance.

Now, look, I know the food's going to be
terrific and the conversation's...

Close the doors, please.

But I'm not really into politics,
Grandmother, so I made other plans for

day. Now, just relax.

There's something I want you to do.

A little falcon crest business.

Really? You mean you want to include me
in on falcon crest business again? I

thought you were grooming Chris to take
over. Chris has nothing to do with this.

You're the one who's capable, and I want
you to handle it.

It's always nice to feel wanted.

You know that Chase has put 24 -hour
security around his fields before the

harvest? Yeah, the whole valley is
talking about Chase's siege mentality.

Well, I want you to pay a little visit
to Leon Taft. You know, the head of the

local pickers union?

Taft, yeah, sure.

Chase must not be allowed to harvest his
crops.

Now, I want you to remind Mr. Taft as to
whom he works for.

Okay.

And...

Don't be afraid to give him this if his
memory needs anything.

Hey, Chris.

I can think of better ways to learn the
wine industry.

At least cleaner ways.

No, I've never been afraid to get my
hands dirty.

Good, good, good. Then you'll love this.

I'm going to show you how our
grandmother likes to do business.

Where are we going?

To a labor relations meeting.

So you're the head of the union, Mr.
Taft?

Duly elected.

And your workers, they all basically
listen to you, is that correct?

Well, some are not well educated.

Some of them don't even speak English.

But they know the union is their friend.

And I am the union.

It's always nice to see the system
working so smoothly.

You know, the harvest only days, in some
cases, hours away.

It's important.

In the wine business, Chris, you gotta
pick those grapes when they're ready. If

you don't, you can have a serious loss
of quality.

Well, my men are ready for a good
season.

Mr. Taft, I need a promise from you.

A promise?

That's right.

I want you to ignore Chase Gioberti's
call for workers when his harvest is

ready.

Hey, Lance, how can you ask that? You
just said it would hurt his crops.

Exactly. Wait a minute. How do I explain
that to the members of my union?

Turning down work?

Why, man, I've got families to feed and
bills to pay.

I understand that.

And I never said your men shouldn't be
paid.

As a matter of fact, I want you to tell
all your workers that they're on a

falcon crest payroll now.

You put yourself on it, too.

You know, I always suspected this sort
of thing went on around here.

I'm sorry to find out that it really
does.

Can I call you Leon?

Yeah.

Leon, my friend here is a little high
strung.

With regard to your young friend,
suppose I go along with your request.

I don't know he won't talk.

I'll tell you what.

You worry about your workers.

And you let me worry about him.

It was good doing business with you,
chap.

Listen, I'm sorry you had to wait. Yeah,
then why don't you take me with you?

Because I thought it was about time you
learned the fact of life, Chris.

Listen, I'm not going to let you get
away with this, Lance.

Come on, now. There's nothing you can do
about it. Yeah, I can go to Angela.

Wake up!

Who do you think's behind all this?

Hello.

Hello. Well, how's my prenuptial
agreement coming along? It's all ready

signing. Getting pretty good at these
things, aren't you? I'm getting enough

practice.

Richard, let me tell you something.

If you really expect Harry to turn over
discretionary power of her attorney to

you over all her assets, you're going to
have to be willing to give her

something in return.

You think so?

Mm -hmm.

Well, I've got a few hundred acres of
land in Florida my mother left me. We'll

put that in her name.

Maybe that's being a little too
generous.

Not as generous as my mother was with
me.

That land is under 10 feet of water.
It'd be 25 years before it's worth

anything. And since it's 3 ,000 miles
away, Terry will never know the

difference. You got it.

Richard, you know, to an impartial
observer, it's beginning to look like

actually enjoying the idea of marrying
Terry Ransom.

You don't have an impartial bone in your
body.

Mr.

Robert. There's a bill before the
legislature designed to increase funding

social services, particularly for
welfare and counseling centers for

and sexually abused children.

As governor, would you sign that bill
into law?

Again,

we're talking about wasted tax dollars,
aren't we?

Instead of welfare, I'd like to see the
state put money into job training,

creating people to start taking care of
themselves.

And what about abused children?

You expect them to take care of
themselves?

Of course not.

But isn't this whole abused children
thing turning into another Salem witch

hunt? I don't follow your meaning.

Nowadays, all a young prosecuting
attorney has to do to get his name and

in the news is go after suspected child
abusers. What the hell is child abuse,

anyway? Your kid starts acting up in the
supermarket, you give him a whack on

the bottom...

And the next thing you know, you're up
on trial for child abuse.

Now, don't get me wrong. Our children
need protection. But since when is

discipline such a terrible thing?

Any feelings about offshore oil
drilling?

A feeling.

I have plenty of feelings.

Successful? Oh, unequivocally.

I just wish that J .J.'s political
philosophy was a little more scientific

little less homespun.

Politics is 90 % personality and 10 %
double talk.

But I think the people like what they
see.

Hey, Mother.

I need a word with you.

Well, can't this wait? No.

All right, come on.

Now, what's all the trouble?

Jealousy, greed, sibling rivalry. Which
subject do you want to start with?

It'd be easier if you made some sense.

Lance took me with him today.

Now, I'm shocked at the way you do
business, and I want it to stop. Now,

don't understand.

First of all, you haven't been here long
enough. Oh, I've been here long enough

to understand plenty.

Do you remember how upset you were when
I told you I was taking a leave of

absence from the priesthood? You
demanded that I reconsider.

And I still insist that you reconsider.
It's your Christian duty. Yeah, well,

don't you feel any Christian duty of
your own? Well, you know I do. I'll tell

you what I know.

I know you think I'm the keys to the
gates of heaven for you, grandmother.

Well, you're wrong.

About that, about the way you do
business, and especially about the way

treat your family.

I'll tell you something else.

This is not a house where I'll ever be
able to find peace.

It's going to be beautiful.

I know.

I can't take your money, Cole.

It's your money, Robin.

That's the arrangement we made. I don't
want to sell my baby. Melissa and I can

give her a safe and comfortable home. I
can give her love.

She's my baby, too.

I love her as much as anyone could.

Come.

We could raise her together.

It wouldn't be so hard. Stop it, Robin.

This isn't going to work.

Believe it or not, I love my wife.

You have a visitor.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to personally invite you to my
opening night in L .A.

I'm sorry. I think I've made other
plans.

You don't even know what night I'm
talking about, Lance.

What difference does it make?

When you left town, you left my life.

Now in my world, that means it's time
for me to start making other plans.

I suggest you do the same thing.

I'm doing a job, Lance. I'm not going to
the moon.

Six months away is a long time.

Not long enough to say goodbye.

Well, I think it is sweet.

Besides, we already said our goodbyes.

And I'd really rather not travel all the
way down to L .A., watch you make your

big debut, and then go through the whole
process again.

Why not?

I'd do the same thing for you.

Hey, Dad, take a look at this.

What's that thing? Something to do with
those mealy moths again?

No, it's a Bricks refractometer. It's
what we use to establish sugar content

the grapes, which is how we know when to
harvest.

And that is right now. Those babies are
ready. We've got about two full days of

picking to bring that crop in. Let's
move.

What's the big rush?

Well, when the grapes are ready, they're
ready. Wait more than 24 hours and we

lose quality fast.

Mr. Tapp, Chase G. Bertie here. How you
doing?

Good. Well, we're ready. We'll take
every man you've got to pick this crop.

What are you talking about? Sometime
next week.

I've got a harvest right away.

Look, I'll take whatever crew you've
got. You can send more as they're

available.

What do you mean? They're already
committed.

Look, Taft, you're supposed to be a
union, not a private contractor.

Since when do you commit pickers before
they're even needed?

No, my friend, that's not just the way
things are.

What's the problem?

Every picker in the valley is committed.

How? We're the first ones to be
harvesting.

They're all on something he calls
standby for falcon crest.

Isn't that Leon Taff?

All right, what's the big idea to you,
Bertie? I want to talk to you, Mr.

Taft.

Wait a minute.

You want me to get the sheriff down
here?

Nice wheels, Leon.

Where'd you get them? It's none of your
business.

Here, let me help you here.

Now, what do we got here?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Give it back. Ease up,
little buddy, or I'm going to have to

sit on you.

No, no, no. Look at this. New car, big
deposit.

Angela's going to be mighty disappointed
in you. She expected you to be a little

more discreet with her money.

Still want to call the sheriff?

Oh, of course not. Leon doesn't want to
spoil his vacation.

The one he's going to take with all this
hard -earned cash.

I recommend you make it a permanent one.

When your union members find out about
this, you're not going to want to be

anywhere near here.

The place looks like a three -ring
circus.

Everything missing is a high wire act.
Well, at least the clowns are all here.

Oh, excuse me.

Oh, brother.

I'm going to go sit with Dwayne. Now,
you know I disapprove.

And you know I don't care.

Shall we?

Congratulations. Oh, my goodness. I'm in
shock.

I expected you and Spider Woman to
boycott the festivities.

And I expected Jordan to be right here
by your side.

But then again, she must be awfully
burdened drawing up volumes of

agreements.

Sign sealed and delivered.

No, Jordan has other concerns tonight.

Maybe you can figure it out.

The Lomax halfway house for abused girls
is having an open house tomorrow.

Jordan's there now.

Hanging a bunting. I suppose.

I must admit, I do find her choice of
causes a little puzzling.

Although there's absolutely nothing
wrong with assuming a little social

responsibility.

I just wish she would assume it on her
own time.

Enjoy yourself.

You know, I am so glad that you two
could make it tonight.

It's really nice to know that my
family's behind me in this marriage.

You know your family's behind you, in
front of you, on the side of you.

I mean, my sister is marrying my
husband's brother, right?

I feel like I'm in a soap opera.

Once more into the breach, huh?

At least try to be happy for me.

Oh, I think what you and Richard are
doing is wonderful. And fitting.

And even just, somehow.

Thanks, Chase. I don't know what I'd do
without you.

What are your honeymoon plans?

Well, what better honeymoon plans could
we possibly have than to stay right here

in the Tuscany Valley keeping an eye on
our united empires?

Maybe they are perfect for each other.
Say that again.

Well, the evening is full of surprises.

You know, I think I underestimated you,
Terry.

I know.

First I helped knock one of your
favorite supervisors out of office, and

marrying a sworn enemy.

I'm becoming a real nuisance.

You're an entertaining little pest.

It'll be fun to watch you try to keep
your head above water. Well, you two

ladies look like you're enjoying
yourselves.

Well, I was just telling Jerry how happy
I am for her.

Uh, good luck to both of you.

I think she wants to get rid of me.

somebody's bound to try.

Hi, guys. Mind if I join you? No, I
asked Pope a chair.

We were just speculating about what
Terry and Richard see in each other.

Well, did you reach a decision?

Well, as unlikely as it may seem, we
were hoping it was love. Oh, it is love.

You see, she loves his newspaper and he
loves vineyards and properties will live

happily ever after.

He doesn't give anyone the benefit of
the doubt.

Hey, Lance, whatever happened to you and
Apollonia?

You guys have some sort of falling out?

Wasn't a falling out.

Lance deserted her.

You've got it backwards now. Apollonia
left me.

Because she had a dream.

She just wanted to share it with you,
that's all. But you wouldn't even do

You know, I have no sympathy for you at
all.

She probably feels that you don't care
about her at all.

All right, hotshot. How's KP duty going?

He better be good.

I'm surprised to see you

here. I'm curious about this avocation
of yours.

A halfway house for abused children
hardly seems like your kind of charity.

The arts, yes.

The hungry masses, maybe.

But a group with no vote and no
political clout, never.

Don't be cynical, Jordan.

I applaud the work that you're doing.

Thank you for the encouragement.

However, I do seem to remember making it
very clear to you I didn't want to have

anything to do with it. I know I may not
be welcome here, but I'm sure that my

checkbook is.

Now, why don't you tell me about this
place? I may be prepared to make a

contribution.

Well, we have a staff of six full -time
paid psychologists, another dozen

volunteers who donate a great deal of
time here.

Fifteen girls live here, another 40 see
us in an outpatient base.

We definitely encourage private
contributions, but somehow at the end of

year we always seem to end up at the
state hat in hand again.

And what do you do here?

I'm a counselor.

Now, shall I go on, or are you prepared
to come up with this generous

contribution?

Well, I'm sure that a thousand dollars
will help.

That's very generous of you. But I'm
also most interested to know why you

this particular charity.

Miss Roberts?

Diana Neville, Oakland News.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Sure. We can lose all the publicity we
can get.

Your father has said that if elected,
he's going to cut social service funding

across the board.

Now, this halfway house would be
directly affected.

I know.

That's why I'm not voting for him.

Let me get this straight.

You're not supporting your own father's
candidacy.

Oh, he knows it.

His choice as lieutenant governor knows
it, and you might as well know it.

I'd like you to meet Frank Morales, my
son Cole. What's your good, sir?

Frank's taken over from Taft at the
Union headquarters.

Well, congratulations.

It all happened so suddenly. Leon just
packed his things and left town.

How's it going here?

I'm going to have to get the men to pick
it up a little bit. We've got to get

your whole harvest in today.

What's the rush?

Sugar content stabilized. Your men can
work through tomorrow if they need to.

Angela Channing called.

Falcon Crest is ready to harvest. We've
got to be there at the crack of dawn.

Now, hold on. You've got a job to do
here. You're going to run off to pick

Angela. Is that what you're telling me?
If we wait, we can't get to Falcon Crest

until Monday.

A delay like that will be a real blow to
the Falcon Crest harvest.

The same kind of blow Angela was going
to give us.

Frank, I want my grapes harvested with
care. And if that takes waiting until

Monday to get to Falcon Crest, it's too
damn bad.

What am I supposed to tell Mrs. Channing
when she calls tomorrow, wondering

where the workers are?

Frank, tell her the truth.

I'll take care of the rest of it.

Understood?

Understood.

Yes?

My name's Sophia Davros. I'm looking for
Angela Channing. I'm Angela Channing.

I assume you're Peter's relative?

His daughter.

And how is dear Peter?

I haven't heard from him since he walked
out on our wedding day.

He feels terrible about that, believe
me. And he asked me to convey his

apologies to you.

I always thought he was the type that
would convey his own apologies.

Now, what is it that you want?

My father asked me to stop by and pick
up his briefcase.

Where is he?

Sailing for Bora Bora.

Oh.

Well, you tell him if he wants his
briefcase, he's perfectly welcome to

after his cruise, and we'll look for it
together.

Mrs. Channing, that briefcase contains
important business documents. I'm afraid

we'll have to involve our attorneys if
you don't surrender it to us.

Well, be my guest.

You know, there's something very fishy
about this.

Perhaps a cross -examination in court
would help me find out what it is.

We'll be in touch.

Not one damn minute.

Okay.

Jane, my property is supposed to be
harvested today. And I understand that

available worker is picking your grapes.

Isn't that odd? If they'd started when I
wanted them to, they'd be done by now.

Well, I'm not going to let you get by
with this. Believe me, I know exactly

you feel.

I guess no blue ribbons for Falcon Crest
this year.

You've cost me millions of dollars.

It's high time you got a taste of your
own medicine.

I'm going to bury you, Angela.

Now get out of my house.

We'll see who buries whom.

Well, Chris, come on in.

I've been worried about you.

I've spent a couple of days in the city.

You know, the whole time I've been here,
I never bothered to explore it.

I'm sorry about what happened the other
day.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, Jason's grapes are being harvested.

I'm sorry about that, too.

Grandmother, what is it with you and
him?

After all, he's part of the family.

He's an interloper.

He waited until I made a success out of
Falcon Crest before he ever became

interested in it. Now, I'm not going to
rest until he's out of this valley.

Well, that's one battle I'm not going to
help you fight.

Because I think Chase is a decent man.

Does that mean you're leaving Falcon
Crest?

No, only if I decide to go back to the
priesthood.

If not, you're going to have a different
sort of battle on your hands.

Because I'm not afraid to stand up to
you, Grandmother.

Is that what they said?

Throw in the towel?

Some detective agency.

They may be ready to throw in the towel,
but I'm not.

She's out there somewhere.

She just didn't vanish into thin air.
Richard, there are an awful lot of

on this little planet for a pregnant
woman to hide.

Cass is going to an awful lot of trouble
to keep me from finding my child.

Well, considering your attitude when
last she saw you, I wouldn't be

if she'd had an abortion. No.

I'm not even going to consider that a
possibility.

Mr. Channing, I'm sorry they refused to
wait.

That's right. It's 4 .30. Time to get
this show on the road.

Carrie, this is not a good time.

Richard, this is Judge Saunders. He's
going to perform the ceremony.

Stick around, you two. We're going to
need the witnesses.

I must say, I don't detect much
enthusiasm for this wedding.

All right, all right. Just get on with
it, will you?

Have the license, please.

It might help if you stood together.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered together
on this happy occasion to witness the

union of this man and this woman in holy
marriage. It's all that's necessary.

Here, take it right from here where it
says, do you blank, blank, blank, take

this woman.

Do you, Richard Channing, take this
woman to be your lawful wedded wife? To

and to hold? Yes. I do, too.

Um, do you have the ring?

I didn't see a need.

Is there a law against not having a
ring? Oh, no, no.

So, is it legal yet?

Um, I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Give me that much.

Now, I need you all to find the marriage
certificate.

Here tonight.

Congratulations, Richard. I don't know
when I've been so touched. Save it.

I'm back in the wine business.

See you again. Oh, yeah? Well, fat
chance. You're going to be seeing a lot

of me, too.

You coming on the tour?

I can't come on the tour.

Whenever your plane states, I don't make
it a point to see you.

This really makes you nervous, doesn't
he? Oh, it's not Chris.

He doesn't have an influence on my
decision.

San Francisco is my home, Apples.

Got my family there, the radio station.

And Falcon Crest.

That's my home. And I'm not going to
deny it any longer.

Look, I can't walk away from that place.
It'd be like asking you to walk away

from all this.

I'm really going to miss you, Dad.

They love you out there.

How about you?

I wondered when you'd get here.

What are you doing in my bed?

I'm your wife now, remember?

Terry, I agreed to marry you. I didn't
agree to sleep with you.

What am I supposed to do?

We're converting my house into winery
offices. There's a bedroom right down

hall.

That's fine with me.

This marriage isn't going to last
forever, you know.

Until death do us part, Richard.

Because nothing else is going to
separate us.

Well, Mother, may I come in?

Well, this is very nice.

I haven't been here since you've
redecorated.

Last spring.

An invitation would have helped.

I hope you haven't stopped by just to
tell me what an ungrateful daughter I

Whatever possessed you to do a thing
like that?

I thought it was quite succinct,
actually.

Did you have to carry your personal
vendetta with your father all the way to

press? I didn't take it to the press,
Mother. They brought it to me.

And you know why I can't support him.

Do you have any idea of the damage
you've done to him?

Of the pain you've inflicted on him?

And on me?

I should warn you, he's on the verge of
disowning you.

He disowned me when he forced himself on
me, Mother.

Three damned years of hell!

Hear another word?

And you turned your back on me.

Those nightmares never stop.

Please go see your father.

Make it up to him.

Please, just get out.

And please tell my father, for me, that

There are times that I wish you had
never been born.

Television's off.

Stereo's not blaring.

Yeah.

Isn't it nice?

I'm not complaining.

Oh, she didn't.

Oh, Mr. Gioberti, thank God you're here.

What's the matter? I've been trying to

Fifteen minutes ago, Robin took the
baby, and she said she was never going

Maybe what you really want is to have

So we're going to be strong.

And we're going to become a family
again.

Julia.
