Dynasty...

of murder, how do you plead?

Your request for bail is denied.

I'm remanding you
back into custody.

STEVEN: Melissa.

My gyno is.

that Adam was involved

in my disappearance.

a problem anymore.

DAPHNE:
Your building
will be designated

a historical landmark.

GENIE:
My great-grandfather Bernard

was an advocate
for gay conversion therapy.

SAM:
Our only option is
to cancel Media Day.

You do not want
to mess with

the president of
the Historical Alliance.

FALLON:
I have made many bad choices
in my life,

but I am ready to atone.

I'm sentencing you to 100 hours
of community service.

I was supposed to be
there for Blake.

CEO of the winery.

Considering you're
not a Carrington.

Blake Carrington,
will you marry me?

♪ Want you to feel my cry,
ooh-ow ♪

♪ Want you to feel
my cry, ooh-ow ♪

♪ Want you to feel it. ♪

Mrs. Carrington.

Mm, has a nice ring to it.

Actually, it makes me think
of Alexis.

I may have to stick
with Cristal.

But, speaking of rings,
you need a welder's mask

to look at that thing.
Thank you.

Feels a little strange wearing
it while Blake's still in jail.

you don't buy ten karats
to keep it in the box.

Blake would want you
to wear it, trust me.

In fact, we should celebrate
this good news.

It would feel even
stranger to have a party

while he's in jail.

Totally agree.
But it wouldn't be

strange for me
to host

a small, intimate Halloween hang
tomorrow night, would it?

How small and intimate?

Oh, 300 of my nearest
and dearest.

Count me out. I'm
definitely not partying

while Blake is in jail.

the perfect time to me.

Oh. Don't go all wicked
stepmother on me now.

Fallon, do you want
to help me plan?

'Cause I have a lot of things
to do at the hotel.

No. Not interested.

I find it's best
to let the gays

handle this holiday
on their own.

The only thing I'll be prepping
for are my days of atonement.

What, you're fasting?

I'm going to visit Annie Tate
later to apologize again.

Hopefully we won't need
paramedics this time.

And then there's the whole
Culhane situation to deal with.

But first

I have to go start
community service.

What?

Don't you have lawyers
to get you out of that?

I don't want to get out of it.
I want to do it.

That's why I confessed.
To pay my debts to society.

Not to have some lawyer
get rid of it for me.

Are you sure you're cut out

for that kind of work?

I'm going to the rec center.

At worst, I'll be teaching
some kids

how to swing a tennis racket.

ADAM:
Ugh-- I guess it's the kids

we should be worried about.

Or I could grab my racket
right now

and show you my forehand,
up close.

Ooh, such a temper.

I see now why Laura Van Kirk
needed a restraining order.

What?

Is that supposed to be a secret?
Oops. My bad.

You know, I also heard
that Laura had to put a bed

in the hospital room,
which means you're not even able

to see Liam.
Tough break.

Well, don't worry, okay?

'Cause it's temporary.
And Liam will be discharged

from the hospital soon,
and I will be at his doorstep

the moment he gets home.

I'm gonna go.

Enjoy your meal.
Or choke on it.

And on that note,

I'm already late for
a meeting at the hotel.

Ciao-ciao.

Cristal.

I see you're having entitlement
for breakfast.

Didn't take you long
to get comfortable

in my father's chair.

Don't be jealous.

I'm sure we can find you
a high chair somewhere.

(snoring)

(grunting)

(gasping)

Your snoring kept
me up all night.

Again. Next time you
won't come up for air.

(knocking on door)

You got a visitor.

(lock buzzes, latch clicks)

DOMINIQUE: I want power
of attorney over Jeff's accounts

so I can access his money.

That won't be easy.

I know.
That's why I called you.

There's not a lot I can do
without a signature.

You're a lawyer. Draft something
that will fly in court.

If a signature is
our biggest problem,

we have nothing to worry about.

You know this is going
to cost you, right?

get paid.

(lock buzzes)

(groans)

Why is there no glass?

I always wanted to use
one of those phones, you know?

And then put my hand up
on the window,

like we were
in a Lifetime movie.

You know,
the father who abandons

his daughter,
then gets arrested for murder?

What do you want, Fallon?

Do I look like I'm handing out
favors right now?

Well, you owe me.
I saved your ass.

When I went to the police
and I told the truth

about Trixie, I told them
that Mack dumped her body

in the lake and not you?

Oh, thank you.
Y-You deserve a billion dollars.

Oh, wait, I already
gave you that.

I want Adam out of the house.
Now.

Fallon, I don't have time.

time, unless
there's an escape meeting

you're late to.
He is messing with my life.

I admit that Adam
has made mistakes.

But he's helping me now.

As acting CEO of the winery.

Because in case you haven't
noticed, I'm in jail!

Hey, take it easy, Shawshank.

Hey, take it easy, Shawshank.

Listen, we all have to pay
for our sins, okay?

For instance, I start
community service today,

which is basically
the same thing

without the communal showers.

Because I know you're just
gonna pay your supervisor

to say you did your hours;
I know how you operate.

Why does everybody think
that I can't do this?

I turned myself in because
I want to atone.

And that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

You'll see. You'll all see.

I am gonna deal with Adam
on my own. Thanks for nothing!

(bangs on table)

ANDERS:
Sam, have you seen

this invoice
from our contractor?

Sounds like your department.

And now, thanks in no small part
to items like the Zellige tile

that you shipped all the way
from Morocco,

we're way over budget.

Can you really put a price
on beauty?

Yes, you can, actually.
It's right there.

We can't keep spending
like this.

You're gonna have to scale back
the renovations.

Anders, I don't have time
for budget issues right now.

The president of the Historical
Alliance is due any minute now,

and I need to get
my charm game on

if I'm going to convince her
to revoke landmark status

and cancel the media event
for the homophobe.

So our paths
cross yet again.

Isn't this a hoot?

Well, now you can call me
Madam President.

(tile shattering)

Excuse me? Hi.

Is this the community service
check-in?

I'm sorry I'm late.
I didn't realize

there would be no valet,
and I had to park so far away,

which is annoying, because
I left my racket in the car.

The name's Frank.
And you are...?

Oh, Fallon Carrington.
Reporting for duty.

Got it. Follow me.

Uh, Frank?

Isn't the rec center
that way?

Aren't those
underprivileged kids

in need of some
physical fitness?

Must've been a change.

They got you working out
in the community garden.

Okay. Yeah.
Not a problem.

I would have upped
my SPF, but...

Look, you need to complete
a certain number of hours

per week to fulfill
your service.

Non-completion can
result in jail time.

Now, you have two days
to fix this area up

before I sign the weekly
hours for your judge.

Okay.

Yeah. I can trim a few roses
and plant a few daisies.

(clears throat)

Oh, my God,
what is that?

This is your home

for the next two days.

Oh, no, no. Orange
isn't really my palate.

Well, we all have our crosses
to bear, don't we?

This is bull...

♪ ♪

Well, I'm sorry to hear that
you and Steven split up,

but don't worry--
I put on a few pounds

after my divorce as well.

(chuckles)

Well, thankfully my settlement
provided some comfort.

I hear you had to move out
of Buckhead?

Well, what's important is,
I came out the other side

better than ever.
Yes.

President of
the Historical Alliance.

Do you get Secret Service
with that?

Perhaps we could e-mail each
other the insults later.

And that way I could multitask
and continue the wonderful work

that the A.H.A. does.

It's not all
so wonderful.

This hotel, the one you want
to give landmark status to,

do you know who designed
and built it?

Yes, of course.
Bernard McCarty.

He did a lot of wonderful
things for this city.

He also opened several
gay conversion camps.

It's not exactly
someone I want

to celebrate or honor
in my hotel.

Well, I certainly don't agree
with his personal beliefs.

But I have a job to do, and
that job entails recognizing

the historical significance
of this hotel.

Significant because
of a bigot.

You have to cancel.

Don't be ridiculous.

Dozens of media outlets
are covering the event.

Distinguished guests
have been invited.

The mayor is
planning to attend.

We simply cannot cancel.

We could.
You just don't want to.

(sighs) My crew is already
hanging the plaque.

As much as I love gay
people, and Lord knows

I have slept with
my share of them,

This building is now a
designated historic landmark.

Please don't be a dead squirrel.
Please don't be a dead squirrel.

Ooh!

Oh.
That's actually helpful.

You know, I didn't think
you'd last five minutes,

let alone be half done.

Yeah, well,
I really wanted to create...

done?

looking great,
but you do know you're in charge

of both plots, right?

Yeah.

I see the method
to your madness, Franklin.

Don't show the worker bees
what's really in store

so as not to break them
too fast. Yeah.

But I'll tell you what--
I shall not break.

In fact,
I will clean that garden,

I will till that soil,
and as God is my witness,

I will create
the best damn garden

the great state of Georgia
has ever... seen.

But not today.
I have a meeting.

So much to atone for,
so little time.

I got to get out of here
before someone

actually tries to kill me.

I have a plan.

I did some digging
on your judge,

and I think we have
a great case for bias.

We'll get you a new bail hearing
with a more lenient judge.

That could
take weeks.

He has to get out
of here now.

Cristal, I think it's best
you let me handle this.

Because you've handled
everything so well up to now.

If it wasn't for your bizarre
obsession with Fallon,

Blake wouldn't be here

in the first place.

I was simply getting
a sentimental ring

out of the lake
for my sister.

Even Fallon understands.

Really?

Then why was she
here earlier,

demanding that I throw you
out of the manor?

Stop pretending that
your problems with her

haven't led to more
problems for all of us.

If you'd stayed out of the lake,

I'd be in Vail, not... prison.

Don't worry, Blake,

I have a plan to keep you safe.
Trust me.

FALLON:
Excuse me?

Hi. I am looking for
the grief counseling meeting.

Right in there.

Fallon Carrington?

Evan Tate.
Trixie's big brother.

Evan? Wow. I'm sorry,
I barely recognized you.

I mean, you look great,
it's just it's been a while.

Yeah, I guess it has.
Uh, what are you doing here?

Well, I know that your
mom comes to this group,

and I just wanted to
see how she was doing.

I mean, the last time I saw her,
she had a raging panic attack,

which I might have caused, so...

Thanks. Still panics,
but that's mostly about

me never finding a girlfriend.

(chuckles)

So, are you living
in Atlanta again?

Moved back a few years ago.

Still doing the corporate
lawyer thing.

So how was the meeting?

It was fine.

You know, after they,
uh, found Trixie,

well, some bad memories
came up for me.

I get it, and, Evan,
I'm so sorry about...

It's okay, Fallon,
you don't have to...

It's not okay, Evan.

I really screwed up.

You were probably
pretty scared that night.

You were young.
It was an accident.

And... hating you isn't gonna
bring my sister back.

That's definitely
a different reaction

than I got from your mother.

(exhales sharply)
Yeah.

I, uh, heard about
your community service.

paying my penance in hopes
of putting this in the past.

I see.
Well, good luck.

I hope you get
the closure you need.

It was nice to see you,
Fallon.

You look great, too.

Is this some sort
of Halloween prank?

Sam, what the hell happened
to my plaque?

Oh, dear, that's unfortunate.

Unfortunate?

Do you mind telling me
what's going on?

Well, it, um, looks
like a clumsy mistake

from the painters.

Good help is so hard to find.

A clumsy mistake?

Who are you kidding with this?

I don't have time to get
a new plaque by tomorrow.

I guess this means you'll
have to cancel, huh? Shame.

This isn't gonna stop me.

I'll find a way
to reschedule.

And I'll find a way to destroy
every plaque you try putting up.

Don't mess with me, Sam.

I don't stop until
I get what I want.

Just ask your ex-husband.

Get the hell out
of my hotel.

(door closes)

MONICA:
You are not gonna believe this.

What's wrong?
What happened?

I just had a chat
with Cousin Bobbi

down at the police station.

Oh, did she find
new information on Jeff's case?

I got her to show me
the evidence report

from Jeff's crime scene.

On the DL, obviously.

Adam's cuff link
isn't on the list.

Are you sure?

Without that cuff link,
there's nothing connecting Adam

to Jeff's disappearance.

The whole plan blows up.

Well, maybe they just
overlooked something.

We can't just give up.

I'm not giving up.

I'm gonna find out
who took that evidence.

It's me. Are we good to go?

NAOMI:
Not exactly.

Do you know anything about Jeff
moving all of his assets

into a trust account?

No, and I don't care.

Just tell me
the paperwork is done.

It's not.

I need the name and tax ID
of the trust

to create the power of attorney.

Can you get a copy of it?

I don't know where
Jeff kept things like that.

Well, you better figure it out,

because without
that information,

there's no POA,

there's no money.

(clatters)

Heard about your visit
with Father.

(chuckles)
Don't be jealous.

It wasn't conjugal.

So, why would you ask him
to throw me out of the manor?

Because I hate you.

And thank you for
coming to my TED Talk.

Goodbye.

for everything
that goes wrong in your life.

Oh, no, no, no. I am taking
responsibility for my actions

and only blaming you for
things I know you did.

You know nothing
because you have no proof.

Oh, yeah. That sounds
like an innocent person.

You will regret trying
to separate me from Blake.

He named me

He named me

CEO of the winery.

I heard about that.

Good luck with that bathwater.

Why do you think we
drink so much champagne

around here?

The vineyard's
the most important asset

that Father has left.

So while I'm working

to secure Father's future,

might not be best
for you to come after me.

Or I'll come
right back after you.

(chuckles softly)

You want to come after me?

Bring it on.

SAM:
Why is it so quiet?

Where's the crew?

We can't fall behind.

They just stopped work. Some
sort of a permit problem.

I'm on hold with the city.

Yes. Yes, I'm still here.

What kind of permit issue?

The kind where they've
all been revoked.

I do have sway in
certain circles.

No permits means no working

and, therefore,
no clumsy mistakes.

This is unacceptable.

I've had the mayor's schedule
rearranged,

the press rebooked for tomorrow,

and there's a new plaque
going up.

Voilà. Problem solved.

I always blamed
your horrible personality

on the hormones
because you were pregnant,

but now I realize
that's just who you are.

Well, you better tone down the
bitchiness for the dedication.

Why do you care so much
about this plaque?

History is the backbone
of society.

You can't hide the truth,

no matter how painful it may be.

You were literally going to let
your child be raised

by a rich power gay
with a fancy last name,

so don't talk to me
about truth.

That was different.

Oh, was it?

Because your lies started
a downward spiral for Steven

that led to our divorce
and left me

with a void in my life
and no purpose,

which is exactly why this hotel
is so important to me right now.

Well, the A.H.A.
is important to me, too.

And I'm not gonna let you

or anyone else destroy it.

When people figure out
who this guy really was,

they might boycott.

It could ruin my grand opening

and hurt business for years,
Melissa.

Well, it's not my
problem. If you

so much as get a fingerprint
on that new plaque,

I'll make sure that your permits
are never approved.

This place will be
nothing but a graveyard

for your money.

Or Steven's money, I guess.

(grunts)

I thought I smelled
sulfur and brimstone.

Is she behind the
permit situation?

Yes.

But if she can use
her power for evil,

I can use my money for good.

Tell the crew I'll pay them
double to work without permits.

I'm afraid
that won't be possible.

After further review
of our finances,

our cash flow
is down to a trickle.

I am not gonna have
my name associated

with a dead, homophobic
architect/city planner, Anders.

You may not have much
of a choice.

You know what?

I do, actually.

I'm selling the hotel.

Find me a buyer. I'm out.

This shade works much better
with my complexion.

you're handling this
community service thing so well.

Actually, it's harder
than I thought,

but that's only because
I came unprepared.

Today, I have a plan:
imported Dutch soil,

a Buddhist monk
to bless the Zen garden,

and a crop-maximizing plan

designed by Atlanta's
top landscape architect.

Bringing the one
percent to the 99%.

Heroic.

as planned, I should have
a version of my garden

done by tonight
and dodge another court date.

Ooh, don't say "court date."

Even with Blake in jail,

I'm a little nervous
coming back in this place.

FALLON:
Oh, relax.

You're not trespassing.
I called you.

And here's why.

Here you go.

What's this?

Well, it's an upgrade
to your portfolio.

It's my shares of the Atlantix.

I want you to know
how sorry I am

for my part
in unwittingly

helping Blake frame you.

So you're now the majority owner
of the team.

MICHAEL:
Wow.

(chuckles):
Apology accepted.

Jeff would have given
you his shares, too.

He'd be happy you're in charge.

Any update?

I've been praying
for your family.

But thanks.

I'll keep on praying.

And I'm sorry

things got so bad between us.

Fresh start?

Fresh start.

Uh, I guess
I got a team to run.

I can't thank you enough
for this.

It's all a part
of my atonement tour.

(lock buzzes)

What's this all about?
Where are you taking me?

Cristal. What are you...?

Shh.

I reached out to your friend.

Warden Aldrich?

Convinced him to grant
us a little alone time.

(sighs)

with no guards

and no cameras.

This should help you make
it through the night.

(exhales)
Oh, you're a genius.

Money still pays
for some things.

You can put that away later.

Unless you were planning
to keep those pants on.

Here you go.

Here you go.

What the...?

Frank! Frank.

What the hell happened here?

You tell me, Little
Miss Fancy Plants.

No, n-n-no.
When I left last night,

my vertical garden
was actually vertical,

not some mangled heap
of soggy trash.

Guess it fell apart.

Leaving the hose running all
night didn't help much either.

Are you sure you
closed that gate?

I'm guessing the
raccoons got in

and had their way
with the trash bins.

Well, it's not my fault
raccoons are garbage people.

You're still gonna sign
my form, right?

Soon as you fix everything.

There is no way
I can finish this

before it gets dark,
and I need my form signed

in the morning for the judge,

or I could go to jail.

Don't do the crime if
you can't do the time.

DOMINIQUE:
Damn it. I can't

find it anywhere.

NAOMI:
Even if it takes a few days,

you'll still get your money.

You don't get it.

Monica is snooping around,

and if she figures out that
that cuff link was missing

before the cops got there,
she'll know I'm to blame. Okay?

We need to get this file
before then.

Once I have the money,
the cuff links won't matter.

Try his office.

If you can get me a copy
of the trust tonight, I can file

with the court
first thing in the morning.

(door closes)

I'll call you later.

Monica.

You're back.

I've talked to every cop who was

at Jeff's crime scene,
except for one.

And?

but I still need to talk
to the first one on the scene.

That should give me
a definitive answer.

Let me fix you a drink.

All right? You've
got a lot going on.

You've been going nonstop.
I'm worried about you.

You look exhausted.

MONICA:
Of course I'm tired,

but I still have work to do.

But you have to take care
of yourself, too.

And haven't you done
enough for today?

I guess one drink couldn't hurt.

It will

definitely help,

quite a lot.

FALLON: Happy Halloween, Tony!

Maybe, uh,
drop the knife for a sec.

I come bearing gifts
of opportunity

and cash.

I have a tiny little favor
to ask that pays big

should you choose to accept it.

I'm still pretty traumatized

from the favors
your mom foisted on me.

You did favors for my...?

I don't want to know.

I just need you to work
your green thumb magic

on my community garden.

It was tragically destroyed
by animals, and it needs

some serious TLC tonight.

Sure, b-but as long as I get
to trick-or-treat first.

Aren't you a little old
for that?

With my kids.

Another piece of the puzzle.
No, that's fine.

You can't go there
till late anyway

because your involvement in this
must be top secret.

Okay? No one can see you.

Undercover landscaping mission?

Your whole life has been
leading up to this.

The moment this is over,
the cash better hit my account.

(screaming)

(groans)

Guard!

Secure left,
secure right.

We got a 10-53
in 14D.

10-53 in 14D.
Inmate Carrington is down.

Can I help you?

Oh. You scared me.

I didn't know
anyone else was here.

Well, neither did I.

I'm...

Michael Culhane.
I know.

Jeff has told me all about you.

Although he didn't tell me
you look like this. I'm...

Dominique Deveraux. Looks like
our reputations precede us.

So, what are you doing in here?

Well, grasping at straws.

Jeff has been missing
for a few weeks,

and the police have no leads,

so I thought
they may have missed something

and I was retracing
all of his steps.

Find anything helpful?

Sadly, just another dead end.

I won't take up
any more of your time.

Sorry to bother you.

(printer whirring)

(phone buzzing and ringing)

(groans)

Culhane?

Listen, I'm here
at the Atlantix office,

and I just ran into your mom.

Wait, hold on. My mother?

for clues on Jeff's whereabouts,
but it turns out

she pulled up information

she pulled up information

on some kind
of financial trust he had.

A trust?

Yeah, I'm not sure
what it's about.

I thought you'd want to know.

Yeah. Thanks for the heads-up.

I came as soon
as I heard.

You could have
been killed.

I'm okay. I promise.

Would you give us
a moment?

So?

It worked.

Due to this
unfortunate incident,

plus Culhane attacking you,

the judge has agreed
to grant bail

on the condition
of house arrest,

for your own safety, of course.

Yes, and I have you
to thank for it.

(moans)

Oh!

I think Billy enjoyed that
just a little too much.

Monica.

I was out printing
missing person posters

to put around town. I didn't
want to wake you when I left.

Guess I was more tired
than I thought. Unfortunately,

I missed my police meeting.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's probably for the best. You
clearly needed to get some rest.

Well, luckily,
I'm rested enough to go

to the Carringtons'
Halloween party.

Halloween? Oh, that's great.

You'll be able
to let off some steam.

Actually, Fallon called to offer
a moment of silence

for Jeff during the party.

And I figure, if we're

gonna keep up the ruse,
we need to play concerned

sister and mother
in public. Right?

Well, actually, uh,
I have a meeting tonight

and it's time-sensitive, so you
can represent the both of us.

Right?

Absolutely not.

We're a team, Mom.

I fear she'll outlast
us all. Actually,

I found a buyer for the hotel.

Oh, wow.
That was fast.

You think I'm making
a mistake, don't you?

Do you think you're
making a mistake?

You seem a bit uncertain.

No. No, it's just...

You know,
what are you gonna do?

Because of me, you lost
the manor and the hotel.

You don't have
to worry about me.

There's always a new adventure.
You'll see.

♪ Of what you can't see... ♪

You got to be kidding.

I know this isn't the most
conventional of meeting places,

but much like our wine,
I really wanted you to see

how spectacularly
we Carringtons do things.

Carrington spectacle is the
very thing we're worried about.

Instability within your family
presents a risk for sellers.

Well, allow me to show you how
stable this family really is.

Fallon.

What a wild coincidence.
You're dressed as...

Marie Antoinette,
and you are Louis XVI,

her far less famous husband.

You do know that Louis was
killed way before Marie, right?

Yeah, but you know the French
beheaded Marie Antoinette

for incest, right?

How unfair is that?

Oh, my God.

Aw.

You look how I feel.

You feel like
a sad, pathetic loser

that wishes candy corn
was sold year-round?

Well, not exactly. (sighs)

For some reason,
I thought I could handle

whatever the court threw at me,

especially when it was
community service.

And I really believed
that I could do it,

but turns out
I couldn't even plant

a few flowers without
totally screwing it up,

which feels like
a cosmic message.

Does that mean
you're going to jail?

Nope. I'm taking
the easy way out,

just like everyone said I would.

We all do what we got to, right?

Yeah, maybe.
But look at you.

I mean, you're totally
killing it with your hotel.

You chose something
meaningful, and even though

we all doubted you--
like, seriously,

we all talked about it
behind your back--

you made it work.

I, um...

I'm proud of you.

I haven't had
nearly enough champagne

to blame it
on the alcohol, so, yes.

Speaking of,

this is a 2010.

I'm gonna need the good stuff
to get through tonight.

Anders always kept
a secret stash in the pantry.

Who do these boots belong to?

They're Adam's.

He left them there
when he came in late last night.

That... bastard.

Raccoons didn't destroy
my garden.

It was one particular rat.

Like I said, the cost-to-quality
ratio is unparalleled.

We're ready to prove to you

that the Carrington name
is still as valuable as ever.

Perhaps we were quick to
judge you and your family.

You slimy little snake!

When does the meddling stop?

And if the answer is "never,"

we should head down
to the gun room

and settle this with a duel.

What are you going
on about now?

What are you going
on about now?

that started this whole
Trixie nightmare.

Then you had
Laura Van Kirk take out

a restraining order
against me.

And now you're sabotaging
my garden?

In hopes of what--
sending me to jail?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Oh, really? Huh.

Your muddy boots
are even filthier

than your despicable morals.

As always, you're not nearly
as clever as you are loud.

My shoes got muddy yesterday

after I took a trip
to the vineyard.

Oh, yeah. You expect me
to believe that? It was you.

Have you ever
stopped to consider

that maybe your little
garden project failed

because you're a selfish,
spoiled little princess

who's never endured a single
day of hard work in her life?!

Excuse me a moment.

I hate you!

(grunting)

Get off me!

What is this?

The remains
of your construction crew?

It's the closest thing I could
find to an olive branch.

Oh, please.
I didn't leave my other party

to come here and be besties.

Why did you call me?

I called
the Historical Alliance.

I thought if I couldn't reason
with you,

maybe the other members of
the board would listen to me,

and it turns out...
you're up for reelection,

and neck and neck
with your opposing candidate.

A great find like the McCarty
would give you the edge,

but if it slips
through your fingers...

Is that a sad attempt
at a threat?

Well, you said it yourself:
the A.H.A. is all you've got.

So what? You're just gonna
destroy us both?

(scoffs) No.
We're going to compromise.

I won't fight

that stupid plaque any longer,

and the Alliance is going
to list my hotel

as the number one Must-Visit
location in Atlanta.

Well, aren't you clever.

If you're going to force me
to commemorate a bigot

on my property,
I'm going to leverage it

into enough bookings
to pay my bills.

Well, you know,
I have to admit,

I have never seen
you this confident.

It's... unbecoming.

Melissa.

What do you say?

Rumor has it
you were stabbed?

Mm, yeah.
It was a vicious attack.

Oh, yeah.
Vicious enough

to grant you house
arrest and bail.

How serendipitous.
(sighs)

Fallon, I'm really
not in any mood.

I'm just looking
for some peace and quiet

until that party dies down.

We need to talk
about Adam.

(sighs)

Well, at least
you're consistent.

He's out of control.

I am not throwing him out
of the manor.

(scoffs)

I agree with you.

Wait. What?

Adam is--

he's obsessed
with sabotaging you.

I don't know why,
but I can't deny that anymore.

Wait, is this really happening?

I'll do my best to keep
the two of you apart.

Thank you.
Hey.

I'm proud of you

for tackling
that gardening thing.

Path of least resistance
is very seductive,

and you didn't take it.

(indistinct party chatter)

Tony, I need you to stand down.

I repeat, stand down.

Again, I am so sorry
about what happened.

Please know this is not

a true representation
of who we are.

I'm afraid,
if the brand name is poison,

the wine never leaves the shelf.

We've lost confidence
in Adam.

stepped in
to handle your account?

Adam is clearly distracted.

He's really more
of an interim CEO,

but his time is running out
and I'm looking

to take the company
in a new direction.

One I think you'll be
much happier with.

I don't think our moment
of silence is ever coming.

It's been two hours,
and all we've gotten

is some bizarre
interpretive reenactment

of the French Revolution.

I've got a better idea.

Hmm?

to believe Adam is
a viable suspect,

we have to push
the narrative ourselves.

We need to accuse him
of murdering Jeff,

and we need to do it now.

But we have to be strategic.

This is not
the right place.

Seems like
a perfect place to me.

Why don't you want

Why are you protecting him?

I'm not.
It's just...

Just what?
What are you hiding?

MAN:
Yeah, Dom.

Is there something
you'd like to tell us?

Boo.

Why did you do this to me?

I don't understand.

The mighty Carringtons
are never held responsible

for their actions.

That's not true.
I am taking responsibility

for my part in this.

I am trying to make good
on my past

by accepting my punishment.

Yeah, but the punishment
didn't fit the crime.

According to who?

Look, my family was
torn apart by this.

I was torn apart by this.

I lost my sister
all those years ago.

Don't you get it?
This wasn't enough.

(sighs)

You're right.

It wasn't enough.

I mean, nothing I ever do
will be enough.

Nothing I ever do
will bring Trixie back.

I just thought that maybe
by doing this

it would cleanse my soul
or take away

a little tiny part

of the guilt that I feel
every second of every day,

but... no.

I mean,
I was just kidding myself.

I guess I didn't realize...

...just how hurt you've been
by all this.

I thought it was
just me, but, uh,

I was wrong.

Can you forgive me?

Yeah.

Look at us.

Both asking forgiveness
from each other,

and neither one of us
is even Catholic.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I have, um...

I have a fiancé.
Liam.

He doesn't remember that
at the moment, but...

he is my fiancé.

Right. Right. Sorry.

Um... maybe we can
be friends again.

Yeah. Yeah. Friends.

And, uh, my first
act of friendship

will be helping you
clean up this mess.

(sighs)

Yeah.

I mean, it really is
the least you could do.

Yeah.

Please, just give me
a chance to explain.

JEFF:
What's to explain?

You were snooping
around my trust.

You looking
to cash in somehow?

I would never do that.

But you would drug
your own daughter?

I... You were distraught.

I gave you one of
my sleeping pills

because you were exhausted,
you needed to rest.

How maternal of you.

Don't worry. I still spoke
to the last cop

at Jeff's crime scene.

No one saw a cuff link.

Seems it was missing before
the police even showed up.

JEFF:
Which means you took it.

After all,
you're the only other person

who knew it was there.

That's ridiculous.
I would never...

You know what?
Just save it, all right?

I knew you were up

And I'm not having it.

last night.

No need.

So we encourage you all

I'm smiling.

I spoke to Laura.

Liam's been discharged
from the hospital.

He has?

However, I did feel compelled
to suggest

that she take him back
to her place.

You know, so she can
care for him 24-7.

You did what?

Oh, oh, oh.
That's-that's right.

Um, if he's with her,
you can't be with him.

Just a little payback
for last night's party foul.

That's not gonna stop me.

Mark my words,

I will find a way to see Liam.

Mm. And did I also mention

that Laura said
that wedding bells

weren't too far off
for Liam and Ashley?

So you better find
a way quickly.
