Previously on Dynasty... First, you stole my job at

Flores Incorparado, now you're
cutting me off completely?

Perhaps, if someone
from the board

were to step in as acting CEO,
just while you recover,

to show stability
on Wall Street.

I'm dropping out of the race.

You'll be able to get
an even better deal

from that
lieutenant governor.

Why are you so hell-bent on
trying to pin this murder on me?

You're the one
with the motive.

I've just seen a drone
flying by,

and it looked like
it was recording.

This seat taken?

You remind me of someone
I used to know.

You're probably thinking
I should take it easy, but

since today is my first day
back at work,

and tomorrow night
is the Carrington Gala,

your girl's coming in
guns a-blazing.

- Oh.
- Oh!

I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?

- I'm fine.
- I-I-I just didn't think

that you
were gonna...

Liam, Liam, relax, okay?

The infection is gone.
It's been a week.

You're not gonna bump me
- back into a coma.
- I-I-I just want to make sure

that you're not
- pushing it too hard.
- I get it.

You're concerned
and being weirdly polite,

- which is super nice, but weird.
- I just,

I wasn't looking, and I turned
right into you, and I know,

which probably shouldn't
happen in a room this big.

Yeah, the room is big.

Big enough for that giant
elephant to fit inside of it.

Metaphorical.

And I'm thinking I should
address it, so...

we haven't had sex since
I got out of the hospital.

Oh...

- that elephant.
- I mean,

I feel like that's normal
following a coma,

which followed
a gunshot wound, right?

I haven't read
the literature

on this exact scenario,

but, yeah, I'm sure
it's common.

You've been through a lot.
It might take time.

Well, we've been
through a lot.

Yes, and we

have nothing to worry about.

Well, good.
Then I won't worry.

Good. Me neither.

Great, so we're both
- unworried then?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay. I'm gonna
go see my baby.

My company.

Oh.

Bye.

I'm dropping out of the race

for senator, and even though
I'm ahead in the polls,

I'm a man of my word.

I only want what we agreed to.

I get my land
for the airport

and concessions
for Clarke County.

You and the governor
get Cavendish for senator.

Yes, I remember that deal
being on the table.

Here's the thing,
it's now off the table.

I'm sorry.

I'm-I'm not following.

I'm happy to spell it
out for you.

Our polling shows
your lead slipping.

You got a "shot daughter" bump,
but unless

she gets shot again,
that bump

will be gone by Election Day,

and since we're confident
Cavendish will now win,

there's no need
to make a deal with you.

I respect the
hardball approach.

I basically
invented it myself.

My polling tells
a different story,

but I am willing
to amend our deal.

Amend what deal?

Are we negotiating or not?

I'm gonna go with "not," but

have a good day.

The thought of spending decades
in this hellhole

is aging me by the minute.

If I don't get out

of here soon,
I am going to lose my mind

and my natural glow.

Okay, well, I have some news

- that might cheer you up.
- You're busting me out?

Or are you and I trading places,
like a Parent Trap deal?

I'm not busting you out,

but I was at the penthouse
the other night,

and I saw a drone
fly past the balcony.

How does you seeing a UFO

help get me out of prison?

It was a drone,
and it had a camera attached.

Apparently,
it's been flying by

every night
for the past few weeks.

So, if the drone
somehow recorded footage

of Bobby Larson's murder,

even in the background,

it could tell us
what happened that night.

Okay, so how does one
retrieve a drone?

Call the drone police?

No. Whoever owns it lives

in the building across
the street, so I just

have to work out
where it flies back to.

Well...

this is almost as good
as switching places.

You shouldn't be sitting here
chatting with me.

You need to catch
a drone. Guard!

- Chop, chop.
- Oh, my God.

I've got big news to share.

- Ooh, I love big news.
- Same.

Go big or go home.

Oh, could you please not lick
the jelly off of your fingers

in front of me?

It's unsanitary and disgusting.

A, it's jam,

which is delicious on anything,
especially a finger.

And B, I hope your news
is better than your attitude.

Okay. I am getting married.

- What?
- To who?

Whom. And no idea, yet.

Okay, between the jam thing and
this, you sound a little insane.

I was just with my mother,

who was getting on my case
about dating,

when I had
an epiphany.

I'm over being alone

and chasing women
and then running away.

That very mature of you,
Michael Culhane. I'm impressed.

Yeah, I'm ready for the
"real love" phase of my life.

I want to meet my partner.
My "one."

I feel like my baby brother
is finally growing up.

I'm older than you.

Whatever. Point is, Kirby and I
are more than happy to help you

- find your soul mate.
- Absolutely.

I don't remember asking you
- for help.
- Well,

true friends can hear a call for
help even when it's unspoken.

You're welcome.

Definitely
have to redecorate.

I need a new vibe in here.
Starting with that couch.

Can we get on that
immediately, please, um... Betty.

- Ms. Carrington.
- Betty. And you

have a very different vibe,
which is super comforting

to me. Ooh!

I can already feel
the corporate warfare racing

through my veins,
and, God,

- do I love it.
- Right.

Uh, so you have some FSN business

that needs
your attention.

Yes. New talent negotiations.

Start rolling calls
with the lawyers

and let the battles begin.

I'm sure I'll tire

of the military
metaphors eventually,

but for now,
let's just roll with it.

- Aye-aye.
- Ah, there you go.

Ellen!

Wow. First, the hospital,

now the office. I am touched

that a board memberhas come

to welcome me back,
even without a muffin basket.

I didn't bring muffins,
and, unfortunately,

I'm not here
to welcome you back, Fallon.

You need to leave.

- I'm sorry?
- So am I,

but it was in the email
you clearly never read.

Well, yeah,
I get a lot of emails.

Our insurance carrier
is forbidding you

from returning to work until you
can pass all health protocols.

- You're a liability.
- A liability?

My doctor said that I am fine,

and it's Fallon Unlimited,

not "Board Members Unlimited."

I thought that this
would be an issue.

You're now on a mandatory
medical leave.

You are legally forbidden
from conducting

company business.

Well, you can
force me to leave,

but you can't stop me
from working at home.

We're shutting down
your business email,

phone and access.
And if you're caught

breaking any rules,

we'll take action
to remove you as CEO.

Well, then I am
going to call

our insurance company
right now

- and file an appeal.
- Appeal?

Off the premises.

Please.

Hey!

Whoa. Take it easy.
I'm a liability, remember?

Hey, Ellen, this is not over.

You may have won the battle,
but you will not win the war.

Killing it, Betty.

This is my fault.

If I had just let you drop out
when you wanted,

the land for the airfield
would be yours.

Honey, it's not your fault
that Lipnicki's an ass.

He blindsided me. I'm still
dropping out of the race.

Then why are we looking
at this map at all?

Oh, I'm building that airfield.

I just have to find
another way to get my land.

So, you're giving up
on the deal?

Honey, it's dead.

That deal isn't dead
until we say it is.

Let's push back
against that guy.

Maybe blackmail him
into honoring it.

Hmm.
You taught me
that's Carrington 101.

Well, I'm glad you're paying
attention, and I love the way

you're thinking, but

Lipnicki is squeaky clean.

No one is squeaky clean.

I want you

to close your eyes for me

and visualize
Lipnicki's office.

Now, tell me what you see.

I see a bunch of pictures.
Uh... his wife.

Um...
some people skiing,

uh, his fraternity brothers,

Lipnicki and the governor.

Perfect.

- We have everything we need.
- We do?

Fraternity brothers?
It's almost too easy.

Ah.

Every time
I think I know

all about you,
you show me one...

hotter side.

As you requested, my list
of soul mate requirements.

Five-eight or taller.

Physically fit.

Artistic.
Multi-lingual.

How many languages
can you speak?

One, which is why
she needs to speak multiple.

- Impeccable manners.
- I can't believe you allowed yourself to date me.

Who knew you were so picky?
Not picky,

just high standards.

My parents
had a magical relationship,

and I want nothing less.

We're not magicians.

We'll find you a woman.

I already have onein mind.

I'll set it up tomorrow,
if you're ready to go.

Well, I guess you can't find the
one unless you meet the one, so

let's make the magic happen.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Always. What's on your mind?

Well, now what's on my mind
is you being undressed in here.

Were you just--
No. I don't want to know. Okay.

I need advice. My board has put
me on temporary medical leave,

and I want to know how I can
circumvent their decision.

Well, that's easy. You can't.

That's your advice?

I once worked nonstop
for two weeks,

doubled over, waiting for
a kidney stone to pass.

No one cared.

That's what happens when you
take your company public.

You got to answer to the public.

Well, no offense
to your slow-rolling

kidney stone,
but I do not accept

your non-advice, and I'm gonna
need this office back now.

That's not happening.

Hey, hey, is something else
bothering you?

Is it Liam?
How are things with him?

Well, your fatherly instincts
are better than your advice.

Things with Liam are...

weird.

They're good,
but not normal good.

It's like we're walking
on eggshells, on ice.

Well, you know, the more time
you spend together,

the more it will feel
like it did pre-coma.

- Yeah.
- How are things in the bedroom?

Now your fatherly instincts
are making me want to throw up.

Mm. Not in my office.

Though, the idea of spending
more time together

isn't terrible, maybe
that'll help break the ice.

- Well, I'm glad I could help.
- No.

Keeping your clothes on
around the manor,

that's more helpful.

Liam, I have an idea.

Hi. I was looking for you.

And I was looking
for Liam, so... He's not here.

And I heard some disturbing news

that FSN is putting
performance clauses

into talent deals

which could negatively impact

- my deal.
- Well...

I'm sure that's not true.
Everything has to go through me.

Good, because I agreed
to be in business with you,

not some
faceless board,

so I expect you to go to them
and fix this.

Right.

Well, I can't go
do that right now.

Um... Can you give me
a couple weeks?

Unacceptable. They're discussing
this new policy change tomorrow,

and I want it stopped.
Do I need

to remind you how valuable I am
to your company?

- I get your daily texts.
- If it's a problem,

I can take FSN's number one show
to another network.

Okay, let's not be
more dramatic than usual.

I will just find

some way to go to that
board meeting tomorrow, okay?

I think we're almost done here.

I just need to test you
on a few last things.

I'm ready for
any test you got.

Okay.

Would you like a drink
with dinner, Cristal?

Of course, my love.

I'll have my usual.
Whiskey sour

with maple syrup,
not simple syrup.

Perfect.

Tell me, what's our
father's sister's name?

Silvio was an only child, Beto,

but our mother has two siblings,

Tío Javy and Tía Rosa.

How about Cristal's laugh?
It's very specific.

All right. You mean...

Oh, this is gonna work out
even better than I imagined.

Those people
at Fallon Unlimited

have some nerve
treating me like this.

I am the face
of their shopping network.

You don't slap the face
that feeds you.

Right.

You should be equally
outraged, Jeff.

As an investor in Dom-Mystique,
this could hurt you, too.

Yeah, absolutely.

You don't seem outraged.

You seem like that lobster
was your best friend.

Okay.

I've been rambling on

about myself this whole time,
I get it.

How are you doing?

Are you at least excited
to be honored for your

charitable work at the
Foundation Gala tomorrow night?

Yeah. Thrilled.

Okay, that's it.

What's going on?
And no more two-word answers.

I've been pursuing
three different tech companies

about a new partnership.

But I can't even get a meeting.

Sweetheart,
maybe they're just busy.

Oh, no, they all got back to me

and said they
weren't interested.

Well, there are other
companies out there.

There could be a million.
It doesn't matter.

After the Colby Co.
Space fiasco,

I'm a liability.
No one will touch me.

Basically, no one
will work with me

until I prove I'm back,
which I can't do

because no one
will work with me.

Well, if it isn't
everyone's

least favorite Carrington.

You know you don't
live here, right?

I could have security
just escort you home.

Yeah, I'm looking for Fallon.

She's actually
tied with me for, um,

well, everyone's favorite.

Hmm. I'm not my sister's keeper.

What's this about then?

Some kind of art therapy?

Well, I'm trying to decide

on a logo for
my new company, ACI.

Adam Carrington Industries.

You know, setting up
a new empire is...

well, it's daunting
and exciting, really.

Yeah, this beauty and anti-aging
company is going to be massive.

Is it?

I just have a feeling that soon
the only logo you'll need

is the one for the county jail.

Clever, but I'm not worried
because my alibi is airtight

and your obsession

with me is a little sad.

That looked like fun.

Yeah, he's a treat.
Um, have you seen Fallon?

I just need
an extra set

of eyes to help me catch
a Peeping Tom.

Uh, Fallon left,
but I have two eyes

and nothing to do.
Count me in.

Um, are you sure? We just,
we barely know each other.

I'm bored, I don't have a job,

and the idea of hunting
for a Peeping Tom sounds

far more thrilling
than rewatching season 21

of Celebrity Intervention.

Wait, the one with Natasha?

Oh, my God, yes. So good.

It's so good.

I see you brought your enforcer
with you this time.

Hello,
Mrs. Carrington.

Apparently, your husband
didn't explain to you

that this is not
a negotiation.

No, he did, but we're
not here to negotiate.

We're here to tell you
what's about to happen.

We uncovered some details
of a fraternity party

gone horribly wrong
while you were

a senior
at Atlanta A&M.

She may not look tough,
but trust me, she's a savage.

I wasn't even living
in the house at this time,

so even if something
did happen,

I wasn't involved.
I think we're done here.

No, I don't think we are.

You see, seems that
one of your bros,

who apparently

has a grudge
against you,

is willing to testify
that you

were in the house.

You're bluffing.

Are you sure you want
to take that chance?

Could be anyone. Maybe Cooper,
down in Tallahassee?

Right. You remember,
The Grateful Coop?

- Or Jefferson, in Dallas?
- J-Money.

Did your fraternity have a rule
about horrible nicknames?

And those

are just the ones in the photo.
There were a lot of people

- in that house.
- We're not bluffing, Lippy.

So, in addition to what
we already agreed upon,

we're gonna need, you know,
a little bit more.

Guaranteed government contracts

- for Flores Incorporado.
- I don't even know what that is.

That's all right,
we'll fill you in.

I'll have to talk
to the governor.

You have 24 hours.

Have a good day.

Mmm. Amazing.

Thank you.

Just the husband
I've been looking for.

Hopefully the only one.
What's with the basket?

I was thinking
it would be good

for us to do something fun
together tomorrow.

You know, like we used to before
the drama train rolled in.

Unless, of course,

you're busy or not in the mood
for fun with me.

I'm totally in the mood.

Wait, you thinking
outdoor adventure,

like rock climbing?
'Cause I'm so down for that.

No, I told you we're never
doing that again,

but...

if you're down for an adventure,
I've got it covered.

Nice moon.

- No drone. I'm bored.
- Well...

security says it usually
flies by at 7:00, so...

I'll watch the east,
- you watch the west?
- Gotcha.

Other west.

Gotcha.

What if it doesn't
show up?

It will.

Security says the perv
shows up rain or shine.

We could be here
all night.

What are you doing?

You crazy?
That's never gonna work.

If you want to catch
a Peeping Tom,

you have to give them
something to peep at.

Drone!

Okay, so it's landed on the...

ninth floor balcony. Perfect.
I'm gonna go over there.

Hey, um,
thanks for helping.

This was fun,
but maybe

get some mace before you go
see the creepy guy.

Yeah.

What is happening?
You are knocking

way too loud, unless
the building is on fire.

That's the least of your
problems, you sicko.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

No, but only because
I haven't undressed

in the building
across the street.

So, you're talking about
undressing, and I'm the sicko?

I think you should probably
leave, since I have no idea

- what you're talking about.
- No.

I am talking about your drone,
you pervert.

I caught it in the act.
You have been spying

on women for the last two weeks
with that thing.

I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but that wasn't me.

Oh, really?

Well, can you
tell me why

I saw the drone come back
and land on your balcony?

Sadly, I can.

- Oh, you can?
- I think I know

who the pervert is,
as you so charmingly

put it.

My nephew Timmy
has been staying with me

for a few weeks,
and I had no idea

what the kid was doing
out there. He's ten,

or 14. I don't ask
a lot of questions.

Well, I'm sure the police

will have some questions
for your so-called "nephew."

No, no, no, please
do not call the police.

My sister already thinks
I'm the worst uncle.

Look, I promise I will
make him stop and delete

- all of the video.
- No! Um, no.

One of his videos...

It could be the only thing that
exonerates my mother of murder.

Wow, a murder? Really?

Look, it's a long shot,
but I'm-I'm praying

that he was flying his drone
the night of the crime.

Well, only one way to find out.

Hey, Timmy!

Get your ten-to-14-year-old
butt out here.

What am I watching?

Your demise?

Is that...

Where did you get this?

Unfortunately,
the drone only got

those few moments
before it flew off.

What's this supposed to prove?

There isn't even
any sound.

It proves that you were there,

not Alexis, so when
the district attorney

sees it, our mother
will look way less guilty,

and you will look, well,
completely guilty.

Okay.
The truth is, um...

Bobby's death

was, uh, it was
an accident.

He-he charged me,

and-and when I moved
out of the way,

he slipped, and he just...

Which you would've seen
if the drone hadn't have left.

Well, I'm sure the police

will take your word for it,
with your history

of honesty and good deeds.

Listen, Hagatha Christie,

that's why I didn't tell them.

I never actually thought
they would convict Alexis

on circumstantial evidence.

Oh, right, yeah, I'm sure.

Children, please don't fight
in front of your mother

while she is in lockup.

Adam, I have a plan. Amanda,

would you give us
a moment, please?

I know you don't
agree with this,

but it's what is right
for everyone.

- What-What's this?
- A contract. It's simple.

You sign over
the rights

to your anti-aging drug
to me,

or I show the video to the D.A.

That-that makes no sense.

What-what good
will a patent be

- if you're stuck in jail?
- Like you said,

they won't convict me
on circumstantial evidence.

So, now the question is whether
you'll be taking my spot here.

Mother, I really need
this patent for ACI.

- Adam Carrington Industries.
- Don't worry.

You'll retain
a small percentage.

I am not Dr. Larson-level
greedy. Plus,

I don't want you to push me
over a balcony.

I told you it was
an accident. Bu...

There...

there has to be some
other way. I've...

I've worked way too hard
for this.

Well, if you think of one while
you're lying on your metal bed

in your cell,
let me know.

Though, the phone
does get quite crowded,

so get there early.

Cristal.

Beto? What are you
doing here?

You're not supposed
to be in Atlanta.

And yet, here I am.

- Why?
- You'll find out soon enough.

I don't have time
for you and your drama.

I'm hosting a big gala
at the ma...

Fallon is honoring
her medical leave,

but it is within her legal right
to appoint me as her proxy.

So, let's get down to business.
I am ready, willing and able.

Will you give us a moment
to discuss this, Liam?

Sure, but keep it to a moment.

Have I mentioned I think
this is a monumentally bad idea

and not remotely what I pictured
for our adventure?

Yes, yes, I know,

but I need you to stop them

from making a huge mistake.

So, just say what I say.
Come on, it'll be fun for us.

We never do stuff
like this anymore.

Liam, we'll allow
your proxy vote.

- Great.
- Well, the first order

of business today is the new
FSN talent deals.

Fabulous.

Tell them that the proposed

performance clauses
in the new talent deals

may seem fine on paper,

but they will backfire spectacularly

when they cause
our top designers to walk.

You know what's
not fabulous?

The proposed performance
clauses in the talent deals,

which will backfire spectacularly

when they cause
our top designers to walk.

Good. I mean, you know,

you left the part out
about the paper, but

you're improv-ing,
which is fun. See?

We're good at this.

No, but won't
performance clauses

incentivize our
top designers?

Great question, Ellen.

One that will take
a minute or two to answer.

They're artists first,
and we can't afford to risk that

perceived
organizational distrust

will cause them to sacrifice
creativity over quality.

They're artists first.

And we can't afford for
our organization not to

trust them or their creativity.

Okay, I said improv,
not rewrite.

Hmm. You make a good point.

Thank you, Ellen.

There's a rat.

There's a rat. There's a rat.

- And furthermore, there's a rat.
- ELLEN:In...

In the company? Like the Mafia?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

There's-there's,
like, a real rat in the vent.

No.

I mean there's a rat

in all of us

just...

scurrying to get
to the organizational cheese.

Seriously?

Oh, my...

Fallon?

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine. Good news.

I was able

to locate the source
of the rodent problem,

and you guys are all good.

So carry on,
and I'll be on my way.

You have left me no choice.

I will now personally submit
a motion to the board

to permanently remove you
as CEO.

Yeah.

I figured.

But Liam can still vote for
me at that meeting, right?

Sorry, I thought
it was the rat.

What the hell is going on here,

Beto? Where are we?

Untie me right now.

¿Estás loco?

Okay, cálmate, hermana.

I mean, you can scream all you
want. No one's gonna hear you

where we are.

Is this about money?

Untie me,
and I'll write you a check.

I'll untie you when you behave.

I don't want a check.

I want our family company,
which you stole from me.

Haven't we been over this?

It's not gonna happen.

But I'm expected at the gala,
and the second

Blake knows I'm missing,
- he'll look for me.
- Don't worry.

You are already at the gala.

Excuse me. Great news.

The governor signed off

on our deal. We got
everything we wanted. He had

no idea we were bluffing.

How did you know?

Well, I'm pretty good
at reading people.

- As a physical therapist.
- Mm.

I've never been more thrilled to
have you as my wife and partner.

Wait a minute.

Where's your wedding ring?

Oh. I must have left it

at the salon
when I got my manicure.

I'll call them and
have them hold it

- for me until the morning.
- Okay.

These things happen.

Now let's go

show everyone
who means anything in Atlanta

how stunning you are.

Wow. You definitely stuck
this landing

a whole lot better than the
one at the board meeting.

I may still have a piece
of plaster lodged in my ear,

but thank you.
So, you're not mad?

No. No, I feel bad
about how it turned out.

I got to admit, that was
kind of wild, though.

It's given me
a couple ideas

of other things that
we can do together.

Oh, such as?

Oh, I don't know.

Have you ever had sex
in a closet at a gala?

Ooh, it's like
a pornographic game of Clue.

But sadly,

as much as I've missed
tearing your clothes off

and you tearing mine,

I have to keep them on
a little longer

because I invited Ellen

and the board,
and they're here somewhere.

That's surprisingly mature
- of you.
- That's what I want

them to think. I need them here

when the 200 shareholders
waiting outside storm in

to vote them out,
which, before you ask,

is perfectly legal.

Legal? Sure.

- Ethical? Eh. Maybe.
- I just have to find

Jeff to tell him that my speech
praising his charitable work

now includes
a hostile takeover

of my own company.
I'll give Betty

the signal.
She'll bring in the horde.

Everything
will be back to normal.

Got it. Hostile
takeover first.

Clothes ripping second.

Perfect.

Do you think people
actually just want

the mint jelly? This is
completely unprofessional.

- Go get some lamb.
- Hello, darling.

Mother, what are you
doing here? Did...

Did you escape? Wait,

you-you know that this is
probably the second place

the police
are gonna look for you,

- right?
- Why are you being so paranoid?

You're acting
like my cellmate.

I didn't escape anything.
I was released

when I showed the entire video

to the D.A.Wait, entire video?

Excuse me.
I have been doing hard time,

- and now I need hard liquor.
- Uh,

no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no.

You are not going anywhere

until you give
me some answers.

You can be quite exhausting,
you know that?

You might want to grab
some popcorn.

See? It was an accident.

You had that the whole time.
And you tricked me

into signing over the rights
to my patent to you.

Yes. It's almost as bad
as letting me rot in jail

for a crime I didn't commit.

Apples and oranges, really.

Anyway,
the D.A. ruled it an accident,

and after
a not insignificant donation

to the Policeman's Fund,

no charges
will be brought against you

for lying to the police.

All's well that ends well, then.

We should celebrate, right?

I will.

And I expect to see you bright
and early at the penthouse

to get started

on our company. Oh,

and I've thought about
it. The name ACI?

It's out.

What? But I have logos.

We'll make new ones.

The company is now called

ALEXAM.

Hate it.

Mother?

What are you doing here?

Did you escape? Did you get your
hair done after you broke out?

I'm free. And I am so happy

to see you up, healthy
and looking gorgeous.

I'm so sorry

I didn't visit you
at the hospital,

but I was, you know,
in the slammer.

And I'm sorry
I didn't visit you in prison,

but I was, you know, in a coma.

Should you be running around?
- How are you feeling?
- Oh,

I feel fine. I would love
to talk, and we will later,

but I have a work crisis
that needs my focus.

Mm.

It's like I never left.

Oh, champagne boy. Yes.

I can't believe he found

a flaw with Gigi,
Rachel wasn't his type,

and he just wasn't
feeling Molly.

At least this Nina woman
seems like a contender.

I love her. She stayed
at the hotel a few times.

Gorgeous, successful.

My legit top candidate.

Was there a movie
you fell in love with

as a kid that planted the seeds
of your career path?

That's a very
insightful question.

- I thought so.
- Well, you may think it's weird,

but probably
Silence of the Lambs.

The first time I
finished watching it,

I knew I either wanted to be
an FBI agent

or a film director. Silence of the Lambs?

No, no, no, no, no.
Scary movies, not my thing.

What if I promise
to hold your hand?

Well, that might get me

to reconsider.

Mm. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah. No, I'm good.

Okay, could you

not lick your fingers, please?

- It's unsanitary.
- For who?

My fingers, my mouth, right?

Yeah, you're not helping.

And you're acting like a child.

I'm not the one
licking my fingers.

Wow. Thank you

for making this so easy.

I think we're done here.

You dropped your napkin.

Oh, that's right.

You don't use those.

What the hell just happened?

Nothing happened.
You want to help me?

Stay out of my love life.

This makes no sense.

I mean, I don't
even date women,

and I'd consider
sleeping with Nina.

I have dated women,

and she's an absolute babe.

Well, it's nice to see you

near a bar
instead of behind them.

Thanks to you. You did
one of the most wonderful things

anyone has ever done
for me.

You saved me.

Oh. Mother,

I wanted to introduce you to
Dex Dexter. This is the man

who truly saved you.

Alexis is your mother?

Farnsworth Dexter.

Wow. I haven't been called

Farnsworth since college.

Sorry, what's happening here?

Farnsworth-- Dex--

is the son of Sam Dexter,

who sat on the board
at C.A.

Our families have been friends
for years.

I haven't seen you in years.

I-I haven't forgotten you.

I think

you and I should have a cocktail
and catch up

so I can properly thank you

for being my hero.

So do tell me what
you've been up to.

Hey.

- Oh, geez!
- I lost control of my company

because of you.

So I'm not gonna forget that.

Well, because of me, you're not
in prison, and neither

is our mother, so maybe
you don't forget that.

Yeah, I wouldn't
hold your breath

waiting for my gratitude
for that.

- Okay.
- And once I get control

of ACI again,
I'll deal with you.

There's only room

for one troublemaker
in this family.

That position's filled.

If you're looking for Jeff,
he's not here.

He won't be attending.

- What? Why not? Is he okay?
- Physically, yes.

But emotionally, he's a wreck

because every business
opportunity has vanished.

No one wants to work
with him anymore.

That can't be true.

He can't even get a meeting,
and unfortunately,

his identity is completely
wrapped up in his career.

He doesn't realize
there's more to life

than being in the game.

Not that you're like that.

You have a...

rich life outside of work.

I need some champagne.

Stat.

- The board and I are leaving now.
- Oh.

We only came for the optics.

We're meeting in the morning.
I have the votes

to remove you as CEO. I'm sorry.

Uh, Ellen, wait.

The board does not
have to meet tomorrow because

I am withdrawing my appeal,

and stepping down as CEO, temporarily.

This company matters more
than any of us.

Well, I think that's
a wonderful idea.

We'll still meet in the morning

to formally accept
your resignation

and choose a new CEO.Will I have any say in that?

Not after you've stepped down.

Oh, well, I'm still
CEO tonight, right?

So excuse me. Dominique,

call Jeff and tell him
I'll meet him

at the Elevation Lounge
in 20 minutes.

It's important. And, Liam... On it.

You and I are having sex in
an hour, so you have 55 minutes

to get upstairs,
do some push-ups,

- and take your clothes off.
- Way on it.

Look, I'm sorry
- I snapped at you.
- You're forgiven.

But there's one more woman
you have to meet who

we know will be
a game changer.

And I won't take no
for an answer.

Mama, what are you...

You dragged her out
of the house for this?

They didn't drag me anywhere.

They called and told me you were
ready to settle down,

and I couldn't get here
fast enough.

Well, that's the plan.

I just gotta find
the right person first.

That's all well and good,

but I also hear that

you've been rejecting women
right and left.

Who do you think you are,
Billy Dee Williams?

Yes, he does.
But pre-Lando.

Shut it.

I just want what
you and Dad had.

Is that too much to ask?

No. But you should know that

my marriage to your father
was far from perfect.

He did some things that
drove me crazy.

And I suppose I did some things
that drove him crazy.

Though his were crazier.

- I love her.
- Yeah.

But the point is,
if I'd had

a list of requirements,

I never would have
married your father.

Which turned out to be the best
decision I ever made.

You get what I'm saying, son?

I get you.

- And I love you.
- Good.

I love you, too.

Now, how about
buying your mama

a fancy drink,
and maybe a Porterhouse?

She does make
a lot of sense.

Yeah, she does.

And, if you're still
willing to help,

I promise to be less picky.

Great.
So I'll call Nina.

Mm-mm-mm.

Literally, anyone but Nina.

What's the problem with Nina?

You know what my favorite part
of the gala is?

When it's over,
and you and I can

go upstairs to celebrate.

Unless you want to
slip back into the study.

Blake Carrington, you're the
most charming man on the planet.

And I'd go anywhere with you.

But I'm not feeling
so great.

So I'm gonna make myself
a cup of tea.

But can I get a rain check
on that anywhere celebration?

Yeah, of course you can.
It's been a long day.

Wake me up when
you crawl into bed.

So what's the big emergency?

I was in my pajamas.

I'm stepping down
as CEO as of tomorrow because

I have some personal things
that I need to figure out.

And also, they banned me
from the building.

Uh, wow.
Didn't expect to hear that.

Well, it's temporary, but,

I heard some of the stuff
going on in your life,

and I can relate to wanting
to get back in the game.

Okay, now, hold up.

Uh, I see where this is headed,

and I'm not interested, okay?

I said I didn't want
to be on your board,

and I certainly don't want
- to be your charity hire.
- Oh, no.

This is not that. My biological
corporate clock is ticking.

I have 24 hours to
pick a new CEO,

or they're gonna
pick one for me.

Listen, I'm really not
in a good place right now,

and I have my own
soul searching to do.

Well, you can soul search
while you work.

I need somebody
who I can trust

to protect my baby.

Somebody smart,
somebody bold.

Somebody who's as crazy
as I am.

Somebody who's family.

And I'm really hoping
that person is you.

This is the most insane thing
I've ever heard.

You think Blake won't notice
the difference between us?

He'll immediately know
it's not me.

Honey, I'm home.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Told you.

How'd it go?

Better than I expected.

Apparently your Flores company
is even more valuable

because Blake and I made a deal
with the governor.

Blake and I made a deal,
you psycho.

Can't stay long.

Blake is eagerly waiting
for me to return

so we can celebrate.
That should be fun.

I don't know who you are,
but I am begging you,

woman to woman,

let me go home, please.

I hope your rings fit.

I think my hands are just
a little more feminine.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a date in your bedroom.

So Jeff accepted my offer,

and Ellen accepted my assurance
that Jeff was

the ideal candidate
to replace me.

Jeff will be approved as CEO
until I am fully ready

and cleared to return.

Wow. That's a big deal.

Well, yeah. I mean,
I almost died, Liam. Twice.

I know.
That's a bigger deal.

And I'm glad you're
realizing that.

Which is why I have decided

to take some time away

to figure out who I am
away from Fallon Unlimited.

And reconnect with you
on every level.

I mean, I know that
the board meeting was a bit

of a fiasco, but it kind of
felt like us again, right?

This is gonna sound ridiculous,

but seeing you drop out
of the ceiling

to escape a rodent

made me realize how much
I've missed having fun with you.

I like this version of Fallon,

and I can't wait to see
much more of her, starting now.

Mm. I like it when you talk
about me in the third person.

Maybe you should undress
Fallon now.

Ooh, this is fun.

It's kind of like we're having
a threesome.

I am not happy.

Yeah. You can imagine
how Fallon feels.

I had to jump in and give
a last-minute speech

at the gala
when you disappeared.

Those usually take days
- to prepare.
- Blake.

Oh.

Apparently the awkwardness
between the two of you is gone.

You're welcome.

Yeah, you really
saved the day.

You told your father
it was awkward between us?

I mean, not as awkward
as it is now.

Please get out.

Happily.

But if you need any more
Get out!
