All language subtitles for Dynasty s03e14_English

Previously onDynasty...Will you marry me?

You know
who's gonna tune in to see you

and your unknown
daughter? No one.

This woman killed
my unborn baby.

There needs to be a price
for her actions.

MICHAEL:
Vanessa's back in town.

If she ever found
out about us...Michael, relax.

Last night can be
our little secret.

See, there are plenty of other
pharma companies I can buy.

But there's
only one C.A.

And it will be mine.

BLAKE:
Well, if it's war they want,

it's war they'll get.

Wait, this is the music
you're suggesting?

"Sweet Caroline"?

This is an engagement party,
not a bat mitzvah.

Oy vey.

So, what are you thinking?

I have a call out
to John Mayer's people.

[scoffs]
Really?

He's a very talented blues
guitarist, okay?

Great. So can we make
some other decisions now?

I need to get back to the hotel.

There's a lot I need to do
between now and the party.

Okay. Well, we have to wait
until Liam gets here.

And I don't know what
kind of a mood you're in.

You're very cranky. Is it
because the married man

broke up with you?Yeah,

that's definitely part of it.

ALEXIS:
I'm here! Ooh!

I hope these are mimosas,

because we have
a party to plan

and an engagement
to celebrate.

Now, when I give my speech...

No. No speech.

How did you even find out
about this meeting?
You weren't invited.

It was in my calendar.How did it get
in your calendar?

I might have come by yesterday
to sneak a peek at your schedule

when your assistant
was in the bathroom.

I told Allison to keep
an eye out for you.[scoffs]

You know, this is exactly
why I hate labor laws.

Okay, guys,
I don't have all day.[tablet chimes]

What?
Liam isn't coming.

He said
something came up.

Is everything okay?

I-I don't know.

I mean, I
thought it was.

London and the proposal-- it
was amazing and so romantic.

But ever since we got
back, he's been weird.

You know,
being a newlywed myself...

Oh. Here we go.Oh, my God.

...it's important to keep up
that fiery passion

or you risk losing
the spark entirely.

Please never say
"fiery passion" again.

Liam is probably starting
to think of you as his wife,

not his girlfriend.

It's not quite as exciting
when one is

"getting the milk for free,"
as the kids say.

No kids say that.

But you do have a point.

I mean, I suppose I could
spice things up a little.

You know, remind Mr. Ridley
exactly how lucky he is.

DOMINIQUE:
Cristal.

Just the sister-in-law
I was looking for.

Dominique.
For a moment,

I almost forgot
you were living here.

It was nice.

You might want to
rethink your tone,

all things considered.

I'm sure Blake
would be very interested

to hear about your
mysterious hotel guest.

You followed me?

I think you're focusing
on the wrong issue, sweetie.

What did you hear?Hear? I didn't stick around
long enough

to catch the audiobook.

I know a cheater when I see one.

I made a mistake.

I was having an affair with...

that man, but I-- it didn't mean
anything and I ended it.

That's why I went there
that day.

Still, I'm sure your husband
wouldn't like hearing about

your little mistake.Just tell me what you want.

I'm inviting Vanessa
to live in the manor.

And you are going to
welcome her with open arms.

Fine.

Just...

please don't tell Blake
anything.

Don't worry.
It will be our little secret.

I'm glad we could come
to an agreement.

[sighs]

I may have been a little harsh

when I threatened to
expel you from the loft.

You mean when you banished me

and threatened
to cut me out of the will?

Well, you did burn down
my vineyard.

We all do crazy things
when we...

think we've lost
something precious.

I know I have.
[chuckles]

I want you to move back,

here where you belong.

That's very generous,
but Mother and I

are finally in a good place
and I don't want

to betray her trust
by moving back here.

So I assume
she's told you about Jeff?

His illness?What illness?

Well...
[exhales]

whatever you used to poison him,

it worked
just a little too well.

He has some degenerative
condition called, uh,

neurotoxicity.

But I guess if your mother
didn't tell you that, she...

must still not trust
you completely.

Jeff is days away
from having his offer

to buy Carrington Atlantic
accepted by the VKI board.

I can make them aware
of his illness and prognosis.

Might stop the sale...

Seeing as I'm the one
who poisoned him,

that might put me in
an unpleasant legal situation.

Which is exactly why I need

an alternative
strategy.

I think Jeff is blackmailing
Dustin Sawyer,

the current CEO of C.A.

I suppose it's possible.

I want you to get that blackmail
so I can use it as leverage.

If Jeff and I are on a level
playing field, he won't win.

And once we get C.A.,

you and I can run
the family dynasty together.

[quietly]:
I can do it tomorrow night.

Jeff won't be at home.

I just need to keep Alexis out
of my hair for a few hours.

I can handle that.

[soothing music playing]

Oh.

That looks...
relaxing?

It's cupping.

Helps draw toxins out
of the system

and improves mental clarity.

I can't risk losing my edge.

Not until we close this deal.

Before you move
on to leeches,

may I remind you that everything
is going according to plan.

And may I remind you
this is Blake Carrington.

He's not gonna give up C.A.
without a fight.

[quietly]:
Try not to worry so much.

You might pop a cup.

If Blake were up to something,
we would know about it and...

I would be concerned.

Now, do I look like I have
a care in the world?

JENNINGS:
It'll be the perfect time

to get rid of her.
Alexis will be

at Fallon's engagement party
this weekend.

Consider it done.

And when you say "done..."?

Explosive under the car,

remote detonator.

I'll plant the device
when she's in the party,

stand by for
her to leave,

and when she does...
[clicks tongue] detonate.

It'll look like a faulty gas
tank caused the explosion.

She'll be driving a black SUV,

but I'll text you the specifics.

Got it.
This will be our last meeting.

We can't risk being seen
together.

No one knows we're here.

But, actually, there is someone
I need you to avoid.

Dominique Deveraux.What are you talking about?

She followed me the other day.

She thinks you and I
are having an affair.

I would just make sure
she doesn't see you

anywhere near that party.

Just to be safe.

We're done here.Seriously?

W-- She's already
kind of crazy.

No one
would even believe her.

I-I'll pay you double.It's not worth it.

All it takes is one person
picking me out of a lineup

and I spend
the rest of my life in prison.

This is not happening.

I'm sorry.

[door opens, closes]

♪ Got to keep myself
entertained ♪

♪ You're messing with my brain

No.

LIAM:
Hello?

In here!

Hey, sailor.

Wow.

[chuckles softly]

That outfit's, uh...

I really should've called ahead.

Why?Um...

[gasps]
Oh.

Oh. Okay.

This isn't exactly what I meant
when I said "spice things up,"

but, yeah, let's do it.

Liam, this seems
like a bad time.

Uh, Fallon,
this is Heidi

from my high school
study abroad program.

She's the one I told
you about, remember?

Yes. Yes, obviously,

I remember the woman
you had an unplanned child with.

But I thought
you mentioned that the two

of you hadn't spoken
since you decided

to put the baby up for adoption.

So I guess I'm just wondering
what she's doing here right now

while I'm in lingerie.

We hadn't spoken.

Until they showed up
the other night.

They?

No, no, no, no, no.

I'll just...

Fallon, this is Connor, my son.

Well, he has your eyes.

I think.

No, no, no.
Keep your hand there.

Keep your hand there.

♪

Adoption was the plan.

But when I gave birth to Connor,

I just couldn't bear
to give him up.

So I decided to
raise him, alone.

Right.

You know, I've seen
this movie before.

So, how much will it take

for you to go back to wherever
it is that you came from?

California?

LIAM: Fallon, please...No. I mean, really.

Why else would she show up
with a Van Kirk heir as soon

as you get engaged
to a Carrington?

I am only here

because Connor wanted to
meet his father.

How do we even know
that that's your kid?

I mean, maybe you just rented
him for the weekend

to extort my fiancé.

Who rents a child?

People do it, okay?

It happens.LIAM: Okay, I...

I think
that's enough for tonight.

[sighs]
Yeah. I should go.

Connor's waiting for me
downstairs.

It was nice to meet you.

And congratulations.

[door closes]I know this is
a lot to process.

But they're only in
town for a few days,

and I feel like I should spend
at least some time with him.

Of course you do.

Because you're good and kind

and painfully compassionate.

I understand.

I mean, I really don't,
but, you know, in theory.

Heidi needs to go to Savannah
for a meeting tomorrow,

so she asked if I would spend
the afternoon with Connor.

And then we'll go to dinner?

I mean, if you put some sushi
in front of me,

I could probably eat it.

It's a date.

And maybe afterwards
you can, uh,

wear this outfit again?

This outfit?Yeah.

The outfit that your
ten-year-old son saw me wearing?

No. This outfit
is getting incinerated.

Don't let it get to your head,

but you're really good at that.

I couldn't have done it
without you.

Actually, I could've,

but it wouldn't have been
near as much fun.

[both laugh]

Um, where are you going?

I have songs to write.

Speaking of which,

I have a favor to ask.

Name it.Actually,

it was Dominique's idea.

Fallon said

that she wanted to sign me
to their record label,

but then nothing happened.

So my mom thought

you could talk to Fallon
about it?

She said you owed her a favor.

I know.

It's weird, right?
Because she's your ex.

You know what, forget it.
I'll just tell Dominique

to do it herself.Uh, no!
[chuckles]

It's fine.
It's fine.

I actually have to stop
by Fallon's office anyway.

And I do owe
Dominique a favor.

She gave me a great...

chiropractor.

Oh.

Well, thank you.

[kissing]

[indistinct chatter]

Okay, so, uh, quick question.

Why do, uh, all of your ideas
involve releasing live doves

inside my hotel?

Maybe because she's insane?

An engagement party
without birds

is like a birthday
without cake.

Pretty sure you
just made that up.

The dress looks amazing.

But, what's
with the stress-face?

Oh, well, maybe it's
because the two of you

are planning my party
without me?

No one is trying to step
on your toes, dear,

but we're getting
down to the wire

and you have been a little...
uninvolved lately.

Well, maybe I've been,
you know, busy,

stressed out, I don't know,
because of the new company,

or my engagement,

or my fiancé's
baby mama and son

showing up unannounced,
or house-hunting...

Wait, say that again.Stop, go back.

House-hunting?

ALEXIS:
Raising a child

is no walk in the park.

They become your top priority.

How would you know?
You skipped my tenth birthday

because you thought Kenny G
invited you backstage.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

That voice mail
was very misleading.

Anyway, this is
completely different, okay?

Liam doesn't have
to be a father

just because
he "suddenly has a son."

Isn't that the exact
definition of fatherhood?

How do you feel about being
this boy's stepmother?

Uh...

I am not his stepmother!

This is just temporary.

Besides, Liam has been
with him all day.

I bet he can't wait to drop
junior off with his mom,

so we can get back to our
regularly scheduled programming.

Well, here comes
daddy now.

No, no, no.
Don't do that, mm-mm.

Hey.
Hey.

Hey, so, we're a little late,

but I think if we...Wow!

You look amazing.

Which is upsetting.

Just tell me the bad news.

Heidi got held up in Savannah.

I have to
watch Connor

for a few more hours
till she gets back.

Seriously? I mean,
can't somebody else do it?

Like who? I'm the only
reason he's here, Fallon.

Besides, he's already
up in the suite

playing with his Magna-Tiles.

All right, we're just gonna
watch Adventure Time

until Heidi gets back.

I don't know what
any of those words mean.

I'll see you later?

Okay, that's fine, I guess.

Just let me know
when the kid's gone.

Come here.
Okay.

He canceled
on you, right?

I can read body language.Hmm.

Yes, he did.

He has to go
babysit Connor.

You know, this kid is really
screwing with my weekend.

You're lucky if it's
only one weekend.

He and mini-Liam are
practically inseparable.

You'd better make sure
this kid likes you.

Why?

If daddy has to choose between

his child and his bride-to-be,

it's really
no contest.

I should know.

[knocking]

[both laugh]

Whoa, uh...

Sorry, I didn't
order any of this.

[singsongy]:
But I did.

Right there, boys.

That's good, thank you.

Whew!

Two is company...

but three's a party!

[both chuckle]

Who are these for?They're for you, silly.

Why?
Why not? You've been
doing great in school, right?

Not really, I didn't do too good
on my last vocabulary test.

Was the word "ungrateful" on it?

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Play with the toys.

It'll be fun.

Fallon, what the
hell's going on?

Language!

Well, you two have been
having so much fun,

that I decided this is
where the party was.

I want to get to know your son.

I thought the three of us could
have a little game night.

Wow, that's very considerate.

I am totally on board

with everything
that's happening here.

So, let's just go
play some games, okay?

Aw, pay up.

Thank you.

Come on.

All of it.

Thank you.

♪ I'll show you
how I go get it done ♪

Yes!
Yes.

[exclaims]

♪ Renegade, renegade...

[grunting]

♪ Renegade, renegade

♪ I'll do it my way...

Okay, we're
almost done, I swear.

Okay, and then it'll be my turn?

Actually, I'd rather just
play with my dad. Hey!

Yep, I'd rather just play
with your dad, too.

♪ Renegade.

ALEXIS:
Are you gonna tell me why

this couldn't have
happened over the phone?

Well, I wanted to see
your face after I told you
what I have to tell you.

As long as your wife
isn't around.

I'm considering getting
a restraining order

after she tried
to drown me in that pond.

After you tried to shoot her?

Let's not quibble
over details, Blake.

Listen, I called you here
for a number of reasons.

The first one being,
I want you as far away

from that engagement party
tomorrow as possible.

It's Fallon's party, not yours.

You can't keep me
from my children.

Oh, I don't know,
I've done it before.

I think I can do it again.

So, what, you're gonna
put my picture on the wall,

"don't let this woman in"?

If you come anywhere near
La Mirage tomorrow night,

well, I'll just be forced to let
the police know who really shot

Mark Jennings.

You don't want to open
that can of worms, Blake.

Don't try me.

Hey, hey, we're not done here.

No, I don't need to sit here
and listen to your threats.

I've heard them all before.

[knocking]

Hi. Sorry.

Thank you so much
for watching him.

I hope it wasn't
a problem.

Oh, no, no, not at all.

We had a
lot of fun.

Well, [chuckles]
I bet you are exhausted.

And you probably have a really
early flight home tomorrow so...

Well, actually, I
postponed our flight.

Savannah didn't work out,

but I got an interview

for a job here in Atlanta.

It's not my dream
advertising job, but it

pays well, and I don't know,

I'm really considering it.

Well, that seems pretty
reckless, I mean,

don't you think? Atlanta schools
are-- they're terrible.

Tell her, Liam.

Tell her how terrible
they are.

Uh...

You know what,
why don't you two

come to the engagement party
tomorrow night

and we can talk about
being in Atlanta.

You know, the pros and cons.We'd love that.

I think it would be nice
for Connor to have

his father around more often.

[horn honking]

DUSTIN: Stephanie.
Glad you could make it.

Can I offer you
something to drink?

STEPHANIE:
Let's get right to it, shall we?

I have another meeting.

Jeff?

Adam, what are you
doing here?

Just going over some paperwork
for the C.A. acquisition.

Did Jeff ask you to do that?

You know, when you
say it like that,

it almost sounds
like you don't trust me.

Do you?
Do you trust me?

You're acting
weirder than usual.

What's going on?

Everything's fine.

I guess I thought
we were finally

being honest with each other.

We are.But you think
I didn't need to know

that Jeff is sick
and getting worse every day?

That wasn't my secret to tell.

Especially when you're
the one who poisoned him

in the first place.

I apologized for poisoning him!

And then I recorded
that confession!

I have proven my loyalty to you
many times over,

and yet, you still
treat me like a...

a pawn in this game
against my father.

Maybe I chose the wrong side.Adam.

Wait!

Look, I got to be honest,
Dominique's antics

drove Monica out of the state,
so I'm not exactly leaping

at the opportunity to sign
her client/fake daughter.

I get it.

Dom can be difficult,
but Vanessa is not.

She's talented,
she's dedicated...

we've been seeing each other.

Oh!

Okay, I get it.

You did something wrong
and you're trying

to make it up to her. See?

I told you when we were dating
you needed to be more

communicative.Look, I'm being serious, Fallon.

And I thought you were
already gonna sign her.

I was, I was,
I just, you know,

I wanted to see Dominique beg,
a little, but it's fine.

We can make it official.

Ah, so Vanessa's been
missing out on opportunities

while you were busy
being vindictive?

Well, it sounds bad
when you say it like that.

What if... I let her sing
at my engagement party?

Would that help?

Ah, so John Mayer
backed out, huh?

Oh, he's such a flake.

I hate his stupid,
baggy clothes.

[laughs]
Vanessa will be thrilled.

Oh, and a word of warning,

steer clear
of Dominique.

Hmm, trust me... I know.

I wish she would've
just found fame and fortune

in New York
and then stayed there.

We all know she
didn't move to Atlanta

to be closer
to her kids.

You're right.

Because deep down,

everyone is selfish.

Including Heidi.
[chuckles]

Thank you, Culhane.

♪ So fine

♪ So rare

Wow.

Thank you.

You look good, too.

Have you seen Connor
or Heidi yet?

I have not,
but I will definitely

be keeping an eye out
for them.

Oh, God, there's my Aunt Jocelyn
and her fifth husband.

Don't worry, I won't force
you to make small talk.

♪ She winks my way

♪ And I could die...

JENNINGS:
Fallon?

Congratulations.

Your father and I
are so happy for you.

That's nice, but we can
skip the formalities.

I know that Blake is only here
so he can rub elbows

with Liam's relatives
on the VKI board.

I admit that he can
sometimes let a mission get

the best of him,
and I know things

between us haven't been
great since the trial.

Oh, you mean since you lied
to me about Blake...

[whispers]:
killing an innocent man?

At one point,
you and I were getting close.

And considering all the awful
things your real mother

has done, I should've
been kinder to you.

You deserve better.
I'm sorry.

Well, I appreciate
the sentiment, but Alexis

has actually been
less awful lately.

Maybe it's more than
just a phase this time.

Fingers crossed.

♪ Does she know
how much I care... ♪

STACEY: Uh, excuse me,
Ms. Carrington?

Just wanted to say
thank you for inviting me.

Congratulations
to you and your fiancé.

Oh, that would mean
so much more to me

if I had any idea who you were.

Are you one of Liam's friends?

Actually, she's a friend
of mine. Fallon...

I don't want to.

Thank you for
believing in Vanessa.

We are thrilled to be a part of
Broken Glass Recording Artists.

"We"? I don't remember
you signing anything.

So yousent the invite.

Tricks aren't gonna
close the deal.

And I'm still waiting to see
some footage of Cristal.

Now that Vanessa's
moving into the manor,

it's going to be impossible for
Cristal to avoid the cameras.

And once you hear
Vanessa sing,

you're going to forget
all about her anyway.

Vanessa's the real star.

[phone vibrates]

You haven't seen
your ex-wife around, have you?

No. No, why?

Since she has tried to kill me,
I just like to be aware

when she's in shooting range.

Well, you don't have
to worry about that.

What do you mean?

She's not coming?

I know how difficult
it's been for you,

being around her given
everything that's happened,

so... I warned Alexis
to stay away.

She's not gonna show
her face here tonight.

Aw...

Who is that
a photo of?

What do you mean?

Well, I mean it's not me.

It's not Liam.

Maybe Liam was just
a very dark-haired child.

Okay, fine, I didn't have time
to get baby pics of him,

so I used some of mine.

But I mean,
how cute was I?

Hold that thought.

Here, here, here. Hey!

I am so glad
you guys could make it.

Fallon, hi.

This is for you and Liam.

Oh.It's a candle.

I couldn't afford anything
on your registry.

Actually, Ihave a gift for you.

Sort of.

I wasn't really looking
for a date.

No, no, no.
No, he's not.

Heidi, this is my old
friend, Luke Tennant.

Luke has an
advertising agency,

and he is desperately in need
of a new graphic designer

to join his team
in San Diego.

And I told him you would
be absolutely perfect

for the position.Wow. I...
I'm-I'm flattered.

But we were really considering
giving Atlanta a try.

I mean, we just got here.Listen, why
don't you

just talk to him, let him tell
you all about your dream job,

and I'll take Connor
to go get some punch.

Well, okay...

Go talk. Go talk.

Okay. Okay.[laughs]

So?

DUSTIN [recorded]: Stephanie.
Glad you could make it.

Can I offer you
something to drink?

That is the current CEO
of Carrington Atlantic

bribing the
regulations enforcer

of the Department of
Natural Resources.

If this gets out,
it's gonna ruin him,

and now you have
it, not Jeff.

You can tell him all about
it when you bid for C.A.Well done.

Great job.

You can have it...

but I want something
in return.

I'm listening.

Your seat on the
board of directors

at Atlanta General.

You're gonna be
busy running C.A.,

and I want to practice
medicine again.

A board position, it
guarantees me job security

and some power there.

That's the deal.

[chuckles softly]

Well, I'm proud of you, son.

Never give a valuable commodity
away for free.

Well, I learned
from the best.

I'll make the phone call
right now.

And then we
will have a drink.

This is cause
for celebration.

What about Fallon's
engagement?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
That, too. Sure.

[indistinct chatter]

Michael.

So nice to see you.

Wish I could say the same.

Can I get you anything?

A drink? A record deal?

My kidney?

What's this about?You know exactly
what this is about.

If you plan on holding our
mistake over my head forever,

maybe I should just
rip the Band-Aid off--

tell Vanessa what happened.

Have you lost your mind?

Vanessa finding out
about our drunken hookup

is the last thing anyone wants.

And there she is.

Aw. Hi, sweetheart.

How are you feeling?

Nervous, but excited.

You two look fantastic.

Squeeze in.

Let's get a photograph

of Atlanta's latest
power couple.

SAM:
Hey, buddy.

Should he really be playing
with that?

Don't worry,
it's not the good stuff.

Did you tell Vanessa
she could perform here tonight?Yes.

Well, John Mayer is dead to me,
and now that Vanessa

is on my label,
I thought any publicity helps.

Well, a little notice
would have been nice.

Now I have to rethink
the introduction.

LIAM:
Fallon.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Please?Yeah.

Did you ask a friend of yours to
offer Heidi a job in California?

Well, she said she needed work.In Atlanta.

Well, excuse me for trying to do
something nice for someone.

I knew there was a reason
I didn't do

that kind of thing more often.

You weren't being nice.

You were trying to send her back
to California, because what,

you're jealous
of a ten-year-old?

I'm not jealous.
I was trying...

to do what was best for us--

something that you clearly
do not care about anymore.

[pops]WOMAN: Ow!

Sorry.

Who gave the child alcohol?

I can't deal with
this right now.

Hey, buddy,
can I see that?

Come on.

Let's go find your mom.

SAM:
Hello,

everyone!

Welcome to Fallon and Liam's
engagement party.

Or retying-the-knot party.

Anyway, you get it,

they are getting married.

And I want to welcome
the happy couple to...

to, uh...

to enjoy some music!

So, why don't we all

travel back in time
to the opening of this hotel

just a few months ago,
when a little-known bartendress

randomly sang us a song.

Back by popular-ish demand,

please put your hands together

for Vanessa...

Deveraux!

[applause]

I would like to dedicate
this song to my stepmother,

who has always believed in me,

and to a special man in my life,

Michael Culhane.

This one's for you.

[upbeat intro playing]

♪ I've been looking to the skies
of lately ♪

♪ Wonderin' how you came
into my life, yeah ♪

♪ This is something
I could want completely ♪

♪ Even though
I can't tell in your eyes ♪

♪ Do you want, do you want

♪ Do you want me?

♪ Do you want, do you want...

So?

[laughs]

Yes, your daughter

has a great sound, but...

I'm afraid we're gonna have
to pass on the project.

What?I'm sorry,

but it's not for us.

Why the hell not?

I got you access to the
Carringtons like you wanted.

And... a talented
soon-to-be pop star.Look,

people don't watch these shows
to see talent.

They watch them
to see celebrities

bitch-slap each other
over bottles of rosé.

You and your daughter aren't
exactly trending worldwide.

There's no drama,
no scandal,

not even with the Carringtons.

Sorry.

♪ To me.

[cheers and applause]

[whistling]

I told Jeff we needed
to put in a moat.

Blake told me he asked you
not to come tonight.

Yes, uninviting me
to my own daughter's engagement,

a party I basically planned.

Just when you think
he couldn't stoop any lower.

He was wrong.

You should be there.

Fallon still cares about
you for some reason,

and I care about her,
so I'll make sure it's okay.

I'm sure it's too late.

The party is probably over.

Actually, I've barely seen
Fallon and Liam, so...

I think there's plenty of time
left to enjoy the festivities.

That's very big of you, Cristal.

I guess there is
an ounce of decency

underneath that veneer of evil.

Thank you?

I'll go get dressed.

You know the way out.

VANESSA: So that's
Broken Glass Recording Artists,

but you can catch the single
on my website.

[phone chimes, vibrates]

[other phones chiming,
vibrating]

[people murmuring]

[gasping]

What's going on?

Vanessa,

I-I-I can explain.

How dare you!

Sweetie,
it's not what it looks like.

I-I mean, it is,
but let me explain...

After all of that crap
about how you thought of me

as your own child,
you go and screw my boyfriend?!

You have every right
to be angry,

but it was never my intention
to hurt you.MICHAEL: You filmed me

without my consent--
I should have you arrested!

I'm sorry, are you feeling
a little betrayed right now?

Vanessa, it was...

Save it!

I am done with both of you.

There you are.

"Momager cheats
with pop singer daughter's

loaded boyfriend."

Now, that's the kind
of drama I meant.

This is a reality show.

I'm glad my weakness for men
with abs makes you giddy.

Well, your weakness
is now your strength.

Consider your show sold.

I'll have contracts
sent over right away.

And I'll have my lawyer look
over your offer and consider it.

Consider? We've
been negotiating for weeks.

And I imagine
I'll be considering offers

from multiple networks now.

You'll just have to get in line.

[scoffs]

JEFF:
Blake.

You remember Jamison Van Kirk.

We were just discussing
my acquisition

of a little company
that VKI purchased last year.

I'm surprised to see
that you're still here

after your mother's
adult film debut.

Well, she is your sister.

Half. Uh, would
you excuse us?

Jamison and
I need to...

talk over the sale of my company
back to its rightful owner-- me.

Y-You know what,
I'm out of punch.

I think I'll just go...

If you're referring
to the soon-to-be-renamed

Carrington Atlantic,
last I checked,

my bid is the only one
being considered.

Well, not for long.

Did you really think

that you could turn my own son
against me?

No. But I could.

What is this?

What the hell
are you doing here?

Don't worry, it'll all
be clear very soon.

You couldn't come up
with your own blackmail,

so you tried
to steal mine?

I mean, wow, you have
really lost your touch.
No,

I haven't lost anything.

Adam gave me your recording.

Yeah, I'm the one
with the power here.ADAM: You sure?

You might want to listen
to the full recording.

You see, at first, your offer
to come back was enticing.

Then Mother
quickly made me realize

that you'd turn on me.

So instead, I told her
and Jeff everything,

and together, we devised
our own scheme. But hey.

Thanks for the seat
on the hospital board.

How could you double-cross me
like this?

Like I said, I learned
from the best.

SAM:
Hey.

Where's Liam? It's time
for the couple's toast.Oh.

Well, that's gonna have to be
postponed. Indefinitely.

Liam is off somewhere
with his son.

You know, I guess. I don't know.
We had a fight.

Listen, I don't want
to automatically assume

that it was your fault,
but I assume it was your fault?

ALEXIS:
There you are.

My daughter is getting married.

Again.

I am so excited
for this wedding.

I have so many ideas.

No. No, I don't want
any more advice from you.

This is all your fault.What's my fault?

I think I've been an angel.

Oh, really? If you hadn't gotten
into my head

about Liam and Connor,

then maybe my fiancé and I
would actually be speaking

and this wouldn't be
the worst engagement party ever.

When we blame others,

it's usually because we're
afraid to look in the mirror.

The only time
I'm afraid to look in the mirror

is when you are standing
behind me.

Well, if you want me to
go, then I'll just...Yes.

Please. I want you to go.

I don't know why
I ever took advice from you.

As if you have any idea
how to keep a family together.

Fine.

I'll get my gift bag and go.

Can you believe

I ever listened to her?

No.

I also can't believe
you didn't ask me.

I mean, the guy who grew up
without a father

and always felt
this void in my life.

Listen, right now Connor

needs a dad a lot more
than you need a fiancé.

And if you love Liam,

you need to do
what's best for him,

not you.[sighs]

Fine.

Great.

Now, do you really think this is
the worst engagement party ever?

Liam and I aren't speaking,

I'm almost positive Connor
blinded one of the guests,

and everyone here just
watched a sex tape

starring my ex-fiancé
and my half aunt.

Yeah. This sucks.

WOMAN:
Cristal. Hi!

♪

[sighs]

[phone chimes, vibrates]

Hi.

Hey.

This is the part
where I apologize

for acting like
a total lunatic.

I'm listening.

I'm sorry, Liam.

I panicked.
All of a sudden,

you had this new family,

and I started to worry
that maybe I

wouldn't fit in anymore.Fallon.

But I had no right to get
between you and your son, okay?

I'm just gonna have to...

hope that you have
enough love to go around.

I appreciate the apology.

But if I'm being honest,

I'm not sure I can do this.

Okay.

That seems a little extreme.
I know I messed up,

but I do feel like
we can work through this.

No. No, no, no, no.
Hey, hey. Not us.

I mean I don't think
I can be a father.

So you don't want
them to stay?

I mean, I've been trying to
play it cool for Connor's sake,

but I've been freaking out
since they showed up.

Well, you could've fooled me.

I thought the two of you
were already bonded for life.

He seems great.

But I never wanted kids.

And now I feel like
it's my responsibility

to be a good parent.
I'm not even sure I know how.

I mean, it's not like
I had any training.

My own mother
didn't even show up tonight.Oh, well,

Cristal and Alexis
are both here.

You can have either one
of them if you want.

I know this isn't
what you signed up for

when you agreed to marry me.

But this is my problem
to deal with.

No, it's not. No.

No, this is our problem.

Okay? And it's not like
it's gonna be full-time.

Heidi seems like
a good mom,

and you'll be
a great dad.

And I will...

I will be
an interesting stepmother.[laughs]

I can't make any promises.
I don't know.

Fair enough.

Come on.

Let's go out there,

tell everyone how much
we love each other

and shut
this party down.[laughs]

Deal.

[beeping]

[phone chimes, vibrates]

♪

FALLON:
Hello, everyone.

If you don't mind,

I would like to say a few words

about the man
I cannot wait to marry.

Again.

Liam, it's been a rocky road.

We've dealt with more
than some couples do

in a lifetime, and we made it,

which I think
is pretty impressive.

I love that no matter what
life throws at us,

you always have my back.

And I will always have
your back.

You are the love of my life.

[applause]

LIAM:
And, uh, thank you all so much

for being here to celebrate
with us tonight.

Oh! Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, and I know

that some of you
were at our divorce party.

Well, truthfully,
that was just for show.

But this is the real deal.

And to quote

Liam's favorite band,

Starship, formerly known
as Jefferson Starship,

"Nothing's gonna stop us now."

I wouldn't say
it's my favorite band.

[explosion]

[people gasping]

[car alarms blaring]

[excited chatter]

Someone call 911!

The doctors say your burns
are mostly second-degree,

that you'll make
a full recovery.

I guess it just feels
like I'm dying.

[laughs, grunts]

What's wrong?

The fire department cleaned
up and left the scene.

It's being reported as an
accident for now, but...

They won't find anything
that can lead them back to us.

I made sure of that.

We're safe.I'm so sorry, Beto.

This is all my fault.

If I hadn't...Hey, hey, I'm all right.

Tell your husband I said thanks

for putting me up
in his hospital.

Blake doesn't know.

He'd already left the party.

And he's not gonna find
out if I can help it.

[knock on door]

I have nothing else
to say to you.

Good. Then you can just listen.

You may not see it now,

but everything I did,
I did for you.

Everything or everyone?

You're signed
to Fallon's record label,

have a room waiting for you
at Carrington Manor,

and after
that little fiasco tonight,

you're trending
on Twitter.

With all that publicity,

I was able to sell

House of Deveraux.

You're going to be a star.

You sold the show?

Sometimes you have
to sink pretty low

before you can rise to the top.

I said I would do anything

to ensure your success,
and I have.

All right. I'm game.

You can continue to manage
me and play your part,

and I will play mine

by controlling my urge
to strangle you.

Save it for the cameras.
We start filming next week.

And let me know when Culhane
comes crawling back.

I have a few ideas on
how best to handle him.

DUSTIN:
Stephanie.

Glad you could make it.

Can I offer you something
to drink?

STEPHANIE:
Let's get right to it, shall we?

I have another meeting.

My name is Adam Carrington.

I want to confess

that I poisoned Jeff Colby
with the intent to make him sick

or kill him.

And I did so

at the request of my father,
Blake Carrington.

Mother...

ALEXIS:
See what we can accomplish

when we all play nice?

And don't worry.
Blake's not gonna tell anyone

about your condition.

He won't risk
incriminating himself.

Nevertheless,
I'm still surprised that you

betrayed your father.For a while,

I thought I wanted
to be just like Blake.[phone vibrating]

And then I realized
I could be so much better.

JEFF:
Well, I'm glad you
chose the winning side,

because I just got word

Dustin signed
off on the deal.[gasps]

As soon as the board
approves, C.A.'s ours.

Gentlemen,

I love when a plan
comes together.

Cheers to that.

Well, tonight got out of
control really quickly.

Least it wasn't my car.

Or our sex tape.

You really are a
"glass half full" type.

As long as the glass
is filled with champagne.

So, that black outfit you
said you incinerated...

[chuckles]Did you really?

Liam.What?

Hey, buddy.

Uh, what are you doing here?

Where's your mom?

She said to wait for you.

Why don't you go play
some video games

for a little while, buddy, okay?

Let me see
if I can reach her.

Oh, Liam. Liam.

"Liam, I love my son,

"but I have sacrificed

"more than I ever thought
to raise him.

I'm sorry, but it's your turn
to be the parent now."

"You and Fallon can provide

"the stable, loving home
I never could.

Please forgive me
and look after our boy."

She's gone.

[whispers]: Well, what are we
supposed to do with him now?

I...
