- Previously on Dynasty...
- Your father offered me
- the COO position.
- That was supposed to be mine.
With Jeff's backing, I will be
chief strategy officer
of Carrington Windbriar.
I've recently started my own company,
which I am building from the ground up,
on my own.
I thought we were building this
together.
Maybe I need to rethink
if Morell Corp. is the type of
company I want to be a part of.
Cristal Carrington's
sex tape, is that real?
Oh, it's real.
You leaked the tape.
Let me be the first to toast
Fallon Carrington.
I want you out of this house.
Kori, this is Michael Culhane.
He's a friend.
A single friend?
Kori just hates me because
I was a bitch in high school.
You're like a human bulldozer.
You'll crush anyone.
What I did was wrong.
Not just my relationship with Matthew,
but continuing the lie after he died.
It was no accident!
You killed my husband!
Has Cristal already gone to bed?
She's paying Mrs. Blaisdel a visit.
Oh, I have to get over there.
What are you doing here?
Claudia, can I please speak with you?
My husband is dead!
You are gonna pay for
the pain that you caused!
Carrington residence.
Oh, that is encouraging, sir.
No, just me a-and the man-child.
Of course.
I don't know if you can
hear me over the sound
of your digestive tract.
You'll be relieved to
know that Mr. Carrington
and your aunt will be home soon.
Claudia Blaisdel's condition is stable.
What a nightmare.
I'll light a candle at church.
Did Cristal say
if she was gonna be home in time
to take me shopping
for my interview suit?
She failed to mention that.
Ah, I see you've taken
my advice to heart.
Is that a r?sum??
In progress.
"Bilingual."
I suppose you are.
I'm not sure about
"drug or disease free."
You're supposed to add little
flourishes to your r?sum?.
Well, perhaps
you should add "wizard of lies."
That wouldn't be a flourish.
- Good morning to you, too.
- Supposed to
go over the Foundation
grant proposals with Dad.
Is he still at the hospital?
Home soon.
Uh, you should wait
30 minutes after eating
before you challenge your father.
You might get a cramp.
Or thrown out, like your sister.
I know you told me
that you weren't going to hate me,
but you might want to tell your face.
There's a hell of a lot of distance
between hate and friendship.
You've got some miles to go.
Well, party's over.
I've been kicked out for less.
No, your protests cost Dad
hundreds of millions of dollars,
not to mention legal fees.
What I did was just a prank.
Kids pull pranks.
You weaponized a sex tape of Dad's wife.
You're lucky they're not suing you.
Lucky?
I have to go live at The Ritz, Steven.
Before you get your
martyr status verified
with a little blue check mark,
you might want to remember it
wasn't just Cristal you betrayed
when you leaked that tape.
What, you're siding with Daddy?
You were so focused on
yourself and hurting Cristal,
you didn't stop to think
about how it might affect
our relationship?
One thing I'll say, being out on my own
really helped me grow up.
And yet, now you're back
at the same company
you criticized for years?
The company takes, the Foundation gives.
I've got a chance to
course-correct our legacy.
But I wouldn't expect you to understand
the concept of greater good.
Steven.
Can someone please help me with my bags?
Surprised you still came in.
I didn't think our cover
girl had time to spare
from her self-promotion tour.
And I didn't realize you
held grudges so hard.
Look, we were just leaving.
I'm busy scouting new investments.
Well, don't you think
assets should take priority?
Is that what you think
you are to me, Fallon?
'Cause Morell Corp.
feels more like a liability.
Could you excuse us for a minute,
please?
Of course.
I realize that we aren't profitable yet.
But we will be very soon.
You keep saying that.
But beyond profits,
I'm worried about us.
W-What do you mean, "us"?
Exactly. With that attitude,
I'm not sure I should be in
business with you at all.
Well, obviously, the answer is yes.
Let's talk later.
Okay? Have LaNique try and
fit you in my schedule.
I just hope it won't make
the launch party awkward.
- What launch party?
- The one I'm planning,
to introduce us to the energy community.
Government regulators,
strategic partners,
international buyers.
People we need to be in business with.
"We."
And did you just come up with this idea?
God, no. I've been thinking about it
for the last two minutes.
Look, Jeff.
This is the only thing going
right in my life, okay?
That's why I've taken so much ownership.
But I want this for you, too.
I'm committed to you.
Just let me prove it.
Last shot.
Thank you.
And one last thing,
the party's at your house
'cause I got kicked out of mine.
Yeah, it's been over 12 hours.
Besides donating a kidney,
I don't think there's anything
more we can do for her.
Maybe give her a friendly face
to look at when she wakes up?
We already saved her from that Obamacare
waiting room nightmare downstairs.
I think we're covered.
Blake, a check isn't gonna
be enough this time.
We have to be by Claudia's side.
The only thing we need to
do is make sure this woman,
who has already proven
herself to be highly volatile,
doesn't sue us for half
of Carrington Atlantic,
or put me in jail for
attempted vehicular homicide.
Shh.
If the Carringtons are here,
this must be my funeral.
You're in a suite at the hospital,
Claudia.
How are you feeling?
Like someone hit me with 3,000
pounds of European metal.
We can get you some pain medication.
Maybe a morphine drip?
No, I can't have morphine.
Did they not tell you?
Ah, Danzette.
- Thank you for coming in.
- Ah.
Any friend of yours.
Uh, we should be able to get you out
by this afternoon, Mrs. Blaisdel.
Well, that-that seems so fast.
Well, her, uh, injuries are minor.
The bone bruises will take
a little while to heal,
but, uh, most importantly,
the baby's fine.
- Baby?
- She's pregnant?
Why didn't you tell us?
With Matthew's death, I wasn't rushing
to put out birth announcements.
I'll, uh...
get the discharge papers started.
Do you have someone to drive you home?
We'll take her home.
To the manor.
What?
No, she has help.
It's not the same as a house
full of people to care for her.
Just until you recuperate.
Our histories aside, you have
someone else to think about now.
It's settled.
You're staying with us.
Anything ours is yours,
and whatever else you may need,
these are the people
that can get it for you.
- I don't think this is a good idea.
- Nonsense.
Can we please put her in the east wing,
with us?
Yes, ma'am.
We'll be right down the hall.
- Burn this.
- Anders.
We can find her another sweater,
dip it in oatmeal.
It's quite an array of
strays you're collecting.
The responsible thing
would be to spay and neuter them.
Anders.
Claudia is pregnant.
Oh, God.
Well, I hope
she doesn't stay till the birth.
I am long past my diapering days.
For the record, I'm with Claudia.
This was a terrible idea.
Yeah. You've only
mentioned it five times now.
Because I thought we had closed the door
on all things Matthew and Claudia,
so we could move on.
And then you went and ran her over.
Claudia is pregnant, Blake.
Does that mean nothing to you?
Not unless it's mine.
Look, I am just concerned.
This woman is unwell.
Not to mention a liability.
Even more reason why we
should look after her.
Have you considered why
she would agree to move in?
After everything we've put her through?
If it were me,
I'd be looking for any hint of dirt
that I could use against us.
That's because you're enterprising.
Claudia is alone. We owe her.
I want to do this.
Well, I don't know how you can.
I can't spare my COO to
become a full-time caregiver.
I am a modern woman, Blake.
I can handle it all.
Your office is coming together.
Only you would plan a party in
24 hours just to prove a point.
Well, it's a launch party.
It's supposed to be fast.
We're blasting off.
Why are you really doing it?
To give the company the
attention it deserves,
to woo new clients.
Mm-hmm.
Why are you always mm-hmming me?
I just think it's a strange
coincidence that you flake out
on my brother more than once,
but then Kori hooks up with this driver
who you were
"totally not having sex with",
and suddenly you're refocused
on Jeff with a vengeance.
You go where the attention is.
- That's so off.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay. Are you gonna
help me plan this or no?
Okay.
Where's Caroline Corpuz?
And Marc Hidoko?
Or any of Jeff's contacts?
Well, I need to control the vibe,
introduce him to bigwigs
we need to be in business with.
Jeff took a lot of losses
in the startup space,
which makes a lot of his
former clients losers.
And you could be one of them
if you don't play things right.
And plus, this is tech.
Losers turn into winners with one idea.
Fine. Fine, I'll invite Jeff's contacts.
See? You can be a team player.
Next week, we'll work on tact.
Mm-hmm.
You might want to be sober for this one.
Well, I see your Haitian
wells and your carbon eaters,
but where are my more
conservative charities?
I want to take the Foundation
in a new direction.
Left.
Why am I not surprised?
You know,
we were already doing a lot of good.
But you probably couldn't see
that through the fake news
swirling around your liberal bubble.
There's nothing fake about homelessness,
uh, climate change, police brutality.
There's no cure for laziness,
propaganda and ignorance.
That may be the worst thing
I've ever heard you say.
I don't know what kind of
monster you think I am...
or maybe I do...
but the Foundation was actually growing
while you were off on your
little socialist Rumspringa.
Just because I was out in the world
with a different
political agenda to yours
doesn't mean I was playing games.
And there's no reason
for you to start now.
If your charities do
all this great work,
pitch them to me.
Be their advocate.
Let's hear all about
where your money goes.
If you even know.
I've been in sales the past 30 years.
I've been managing this charity
since before you were born.
And now you want to
challenge me on both?
I'll show you I'm right.
What are you gonna do?
Make me a diorama?
No, I'm gonna let you
see with your own eyes
how these charities work.
Then you can judge.
Hi.
There you are.
I called into the office and
I had them clear my schedule
so I could show you around.
Great.
You can give me a tour
of the Ming dynasty.
So are all these urns filled with
other people that Blake has run over?
So what can I show you?
It took me a while to
get my bearings here.
The first week,
I got lost in the wine cellar
and ended up on the shooting range.
Champagne problems, I guess.
Mine are a lot less complicated.
I'm here because
it makes sense for my recovery.
Not to make you feel better.
Oh, hi, Bo.
Hi.
I wasn't really a dog person before,
but Bo has stolen my heart.
He follows me everywhere.
It must be nice to have a dog
that you don't have to clean up after.
I'm sure you have people for that,
with your army of staff.
Yeah, that's another thing that
took a second to get used to.
Especially when you grow
up working class, like us.
Right.
We have so much in common.
Uh, I got to get this. It's work.
Excuse me.
Cristal Carrington.
Can't.
- I'm busy.
- Sam, I got to go in.
There was a leak on an offshore rig.
I need to coordinate the
environmental response,
reroute supply, manage the press...
So take the crazy lady with you.
I can't do that.
Look, I told Blake that
I'd be responsible for her,
but I wouldn't shirk my job.
So you're asking me to babysit?
I need a real job.
And I have a better
chance at getting one
in something couture.
Right now this is your job.
Keep Claudia company,
make her comfortable,
and give her whatever she wants.
So how much does crazy-sitting pay?
Damn it, Sam.
- Nothing's free, T?a.
- Right.
I mean, just the roof over your head
and an all-you-can-eat buffet,
but fine...
Consider this your expense account.
Do not tell Blake.
Here's her pill schedule.
You have to really keep
an eye on her, okay?
She is a handful.
Best cure for crazy is crazy money.
Do not get carried away, Sam.
Me?
Never.
Ay.
What? Is it too much?
All of it's too much.
They're getting paid, sweetie.
They do not mind.
And how often do you get to
see how the one percent lives?
Or how they live with themselves?
No, I can't.
Babies are such a drag.
if anyone should be taking
advantage of all this, it's you.
They hit you with their rich people car.
Take what you deserve.
It's payback.
Mmm.
Ah...
I don't remember the last
time I had actual fun.
My head is spinning.
I think I forgot to give you your pills.
Kidding.
But you can see how people get
addicted to this lifestyle.
I mean, imagine
living like this every day.
I can't even imagine.
Your aunt must have a fabulous closet.
Oh, it's bigger than the
apartment I grew up in.
Want to see it?
Should've figured the Foundation
would support a boxing club.
I know, I know,
you thought you were headed
to an NRA youth self-defense course.
Also in your wheelhouse.
We have been helping the
Meadowlark Athletic Club
for over ten years
and donated over a million dollars.
You know I have mixed feelings
about children boxing...
It's a miracle I didn't
end up with brain damage.
Well, maybe that explains
how you ended up a liberal.
I'm serious.
Which is why we never make contact
without headgear.
I'm Phil, I'm the director here.
Blake's got me up to speed
on your big decision, Steven,
so be prepared for me
to lay it on thick.
No need.
I can see the value
in a place like this,
but the sport...
It's changing lives for the better.
Yeah, a prime example is,
uh, Rudy over here.
Before she came here,
she was bullied so
bad she wasn't eating.
Luckily, she landed here
and learned how to box...
not to knock out her bullies,
but to take back the power
she felt they stole from her. Hey, Rudy.
Rudy, I want to introduce you
to two of our club's biggest donors:
Blake and Steven Carrington.
That's some impressive footwork,
young lady.
You think the feet are nice?
You should see me throw these hands.
She's got a fight tomorrow.
You guys should come out.
Yeah, watch me
whoop up on this little girl.
Count me in.
You got to love a girl with confidence.
You think going a few rounds
with me would be tough?
I should stick you in the ring with her.
This is Cristal's closet?
Coco Chanel said, look at yourself
in the mirror and take
at least one thing off
before you leave the house.
I say, add five more.
How about a hat?
Yes.
We wear the same size shoes.
Let's see.
Final touch.
Yas. Work!
Where's Cristal?
- Uh...
- Uh, Cristal told me
to give Claudia anything she wants,
and I was just following
her to make sure...
Is that my watch?
Relax, I wasn't going to steal it.
I'm sorry, this was my idea.
I shouldn't have gone
into your wife's things.
It's just... it's been such a long time
since I've dressed up, and...
It was silly, really,
like kids in a closet.
I forgot about the rest
of the world for a moment.
It was nice to forget.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
No, it-it's all right.
You-You've been through a lot.
Let's get you back to your room.
Oh.
No, no, you... you keep it.
You're beautiful.
Okay.
I've been getting texts all day.
People are excited to come out.
Well, here's the menu;
the chef's a friend of mine.
And I got the mixologist
from Establishment.
Ah. Nice.
And the guest list?
You know who we should add?
Johnny Davis and Brayden Webb.
I just heard they were in town.
- They founded the...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know who they are.
I tried to poach them when I was at C.A.
I took them to
Staplehouse's opening night,
and then, in the middle of dinner,
they turned me down.
I went ballistic.
I'm surprised you didn't hear about it.
They might have mentioned it
in the cover story Fast
Company did on them.
Something about you threatening
to eat one of them alive
and crush the other into "nerd sauce".
Okay, well, I'm not wrong.
I mean, these guys think pocket
protectors are high fashion.
All I know is,
they developed a super efficient battery
we need desperately for
energy storage at Windbriar.
Well, I try
not to operate from desperation.
Yeah, well, I want them there.
It's on you.
What's more important?
Your pride or this company?
Claudia.
Was just checking to see
how you're settling in.
Uh, well as can be,
given the circumstances.
Life is so strange.
To have you, of all people,
taking care of me.
Well, we're all happy to
be in a position to help.
A year ago, we didn't know each other.
A few days ago,
I would've been at your throat.
Life can turn on a dime.
Change your entire world.
Especially getting pregnant.
I can only imagine.
You live in a mansion,
with a staff of servants to help.
I'm all alone at this now.
You're not alone, Claudia.
Y-You're not my friend or my family.
I'm so sorry.
I know Matthew would've
been an amazing...
Father?
Right.
I bet you don't even think
that this is his baby.
Well, you know what?
There's no need to call Maury,
because even though we
lived our separate lives,
we still came home to the same bed.
And we never stopped sleeping together.
Oh, does that surprise you?
Or does it just drive you
a little crazy knowing that
there is a little piece
of him still inside me?
A piece you can't steal.
Claudia, it was never my intention...
What, to take him away from me?
How can you say that?
You almost did.
He told me he was leaving me,
and now I know it was for you.
When did he say that?
You have everything.
I have nothing.
I don't have a husband...
Okay, Claudia,
I know you're emotional...
Wasn't it enough that
you had all of this?
You had to have Matthew, too?
- I'm sorry...
- Just get out...
Just get out now!
Maybe you were right and Claudia
shouldn't be staying with us.
I mean, clearly, she needs
more help than we can give her.
Go ahead and say, "I told you so."
Actually,
after seeing Claudia this afternoon
when she was with Sam,
I think your initial instinct was right.
I think she needs more than a caregiver.
She needs connection.
You didn't see what she just did.
No, but to be fair,
you did mention Matthew.
I'm guessing she didn't need a reminder
that you were sleeping
with her dead husband.
I didn't mean to upset her.
Considering her fragility,
physical and emotional...
Wow. I can't believe you're the
one spouting emotional truths.
Neither can I.
Look at you.
You got me talking
empathy and compassion
and Claudia staying here.
Stop rubbing off on me.
Rudy wins the match.
- Great fight, Rudy. How are you feeling?
- Hungry.
A little bird told me
that the winner buys
pizza for the loser.
Do you mind if we break with
tradition this time and I buy?
- Sounds good to me.
- All right.
Stansfield?
Every major player under 40 in energy
is in this room right now.
Table is certainly set.
You even manned up and
got me my tech twins.
They look like they
could use an apology.
Oh, I wouldn't wait for that.
It would be rude not to
greet the guests first.
Hello.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome.
Now, I would like to be the first
to welcome you to Jeff Colby's house.
I have a very important
announcement to make.
Jeff and I are having a baby.
Well, technically, we already did.
The Morell Green Energy Corporation.
And while it's not a literal baby,
this new venture means
just as much to me.
I am proud as hell to
introduce you to my new family,
starting with my brilliant partner,
a man who trusted me with his money,
with his brand,
the only man I would trust with my baby,
Jeff Colby.
Come on up here.
Now, let's make one thing clear.
This is not your daddy's energy company.
We're fueled by life.
Water, wind, sun,
the natural,
unfiltered elements of this planet,
and we will use those elements to power
your very futures if you let us.
The next generation.
At Morell Corp.
we're all about new energy,
and that's our theme for today.
So let's get this party charged up.
Smashing a crystal vase?
No confusing the message there.
Obviously, there's still some friction
between the missus and the mistress,
and maybe I can smooth things over.
I'm quite a gracious host.
Oh, I know. I saw the receipts.
Hey, forgiveness ain't cheap,
and you're lucky that's all it cost.
Just how did you max out
an unmaxable credit card?
Oh, we can find out again tomorrow
if you want me to keep
playing nice with crazy.
No, Bo! Stop! No!
Bo, stop!
I accidentally dropped my pills
and Bo started eating them
- before I could pick them up.
- Oh, my God.
Who knows what those
pills will do to him.
- Okay, Sam, help me take Bo to the car.
- Yeah, let's go, Bo.
What on earth happened?
Take Claudia upstairs.
We're taking Bo to the vet.
So, you're telling me you're
not upset that Kori showed up?
That she rode in on that stallion
that you are not having sex with?
I'm fine they're here.
- I didn't even notice them coming in.
- Mm-hmm.
- Just drop it, okay?
- Okay.
This house is freaking amazing, Jeff.
That's an original, right?
Better be for what I paid for it.
I'm more of an abstract
expressionism man myself,
but even I like that.
Then you've got good taste.
Of course bae's got good taste.
He's with me.
Fall, you might want to slow down.
Not unless I speed up
on something stronger.
Do you want anything from the bar?
No, I'm good.
- Hey, Fallon.
- Hello.
Oh, you made it.
Yup, and we brought
a bottle to celebrate.
Our stock's over ten dollars a share.
You said we'd never get over $6.50
without Carrington Atlantic behind us.
Yeah, I remember what I said,
Webb or Davis
or whichever one of you is which.
But I don't have time to
reminisce about the past.
Today is about the future.
There you go.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Your nose looks great.
Nice party, Fallon.
Surprised I got an invite.
And I'm surprised you brought a date.
Cling much?
Obsess much?
Or could you just feel the vibe?
Oh, I'm not super concerned
about your relationship.
But since you asked,
Michael is taking me
on a little vacation.
Said it would be nice to
get away from his boss.
We're going to Miami this weekend.
Well, if you last that long.
Don't be bitter.
You must have known your...
chauffeur-with-benefits
situation had no future.
And you think this is true love?
I doubt he'd recognize you
if you weren't on all fours.
Look who's talking,
Little Miss Thot-A-Lot.
Did you ever think that you
never went out in public
with Michael because he didn't
want to be seen with you?
You know, normally,
I like to get the last word,
but tonight's not about personal
baggage... it's about business.
And I hope that,
despite all of this, you and I
can still do business in the future.
Excuse me.
No need to put that away just yet.
What are you doing in here?
I could ask you the same question.
I didn't think you had it
in you to be this petty,
coming to my launch party with Kori.
But you did a great job
of making me jealous.
I'm on a date with my girlfriend.
This has nothing to do with you.
No, you did this
to get a rise out of me.
Now I'm gonna get a rise out of you.
Fallon, stop.
You're being ridiculous, all right?
Sex isn't gonna get you out of this one.
Well, your mouth says no,
but your friend seems pretty interested.
You may not have any
respect for yourself,
but I've got respect
for me and for Kori.
So whatever you came here to do,
get it through your head...
it's not happening.
You never asked me to
go to Miami with you.
You never introduced me to
Blake as your boyfriend.
Because he'd fire you.
Maybe I'd get another job.
Don't pretend you care now, Fallon.
You didn't catch feelings overnight.
You seriously think I never cared?
What the hell were you doing
in the bathroom with Fallon?
- Nothing.
- If that was an act,
that was the most convincing faux-job
- I've ever seen.
- Kori, please...
Obviously, you two are used
to playing games, and I'm not.
And I won't.
I know.
Things are moving fast between us,
but I know who you are.
And I know that I'm
lucky to be with you.
There's no way that I'd throw
that away for two minutes
in a bathroom with Fallon Carrington.
She was just putting on a show.
Let's get out of here.
I want to show you
how much trouble you can get into
in my bathroom.
Our nerds are looking lonely.
You boys ready for that drink?
I see someone's unwinding from
a rough day at the office.
Mm.
I told you,
COO and babysitting would
be difficult to juggle.
But you handled yourself impeccably.
Everything you've done for Claudia.
You really are Wonder Woman.
Claudia. What are you doing?
Why are you in my bathtub?
I don't know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so embarrassed.
I don't remember getting in here.
Please don't be mad at me.
I'm not mad, I'm just surprised.
Why didn't you say something?
I don't know.
Thank you. You're so kind.
Cristal's so lucky.
Blake?
Blake? What the hell's going on?
For you finally giving
us the time of day.
Not that one shot's gonna rebuild
the bridge you burned at Staplehouse.
Oh, men and their emotions.
All I want to know is
what do I have to do
to get you guys to say yes
to sharing your tech with Morell Corp.?
Ugh, that's vile.
Maybe it would taste better
with some nerd sauce.
This is where you apologize.
Oh, well, that's not gonna happen.
You guys are like the
Kanyes of Silicon Valley.
You're great at tech, everything else,
not so much.
I mean, marketing,
you didn't pivot when the company did.
Design, clumsy at best.
PR, you're too busy focusing
on that hunk of metal,
not your sweet, adorable faces.
You get all that straight,
you might actually be able
to make some real money.
Okay, I think we've had enough.
No, no, no, no, no.
If they've had enough,
we're just getting started.
Okay, let's go.
- How did it even happen, Blake?
- I thought it was you.
Well, it wasn't.
While you were making out with Claudia,
I was getting her crazy pills
pumped out of your bloodhound's stomach.
Come on, Cristal,
even I'm not stupid enough
to sleep with a houseguest
when my wife could
walk in at any minute... or ever.
You were right.
And I was right the first time,
before I got swept up in emotion.
And I will never let that happen again.
This woman is unhinged,
and she keeps proving it more every day.
Look, the fact is, she needs more help
than we can provide.
And I'm sorry, but we just can't protect
every broken bird that
lands on our windowsill.
She's not a bird, she's a woman...
whose life I've ruined.
She is sick,
and she needs to be somewhere
where there's 24-hour medical care
provided by a professional,
not her dead husband's ex-mistress.
I just wanted to help.
But are you sure this crusade
to help Claudia and her baby
doesn't have more to do with
your feelings for Matthew?
A part of Matthew is gonna
live on in this child.
The child the two of you never had.
Blake...
I'm sure at some point
you thought about it.
And that's okay.
But it's not okay...
for you to keep this woman in our lives
because you're clinging to memories.
I'll tell her it's time to move on.
It's the best thing for all of us.
Drink this.
Slowly.
This is water, it's not vodka.
I know.
Put this on.
Oh...
you think you're slick.
You finally got a chance to seduce me.
Hey...
where'd you get these bugles?
I mean bulges.
Fallon, no.
You're drunk.
So?
Okay, fine.
Fine. Just leave me here
like everyone else.
Just walk away, like my dad,
like my stupid mom, like Culhane.
What ever happened to Fallon
"I exist only for me" Carrington?
Is that what people think?
Am I really that unlovable?
Of course not.
But then why does everyone
always abandon me?
I'm still here.
Sorry I've been avoiding you.
I just don't know what to say anymore.
No, I-I'm the one who's sorry.
I should have said something
the second that Blake came in.
I didn't realize...
- No need to discuss it.
- Just know that
everything you're doing is appreciated.
And I know it is no excuse
for what happened last night,
but part of having
traumatic brain injury,
it's not just confusion,
but loss of inhibition
and impulse control.
I just want what's best for you,
Claudia.
And at this point I think
the best thing for you
is not staying here at
the Carrington Manor
but living someplace where they
can fully take care of you.
You want me to leave?
No, no, I can't.
I'm afraid to be alone.
I'm afraid that my
condition is getting worse.
I'm bringing a baby into this world.
A baby I-I don't feel
capable of raising.
But you will have
nurses and your family.
And I know you will love this baby.
Finding the love isn't the question.
I mean, it never is for women, right?
We give and we give
and we give un-until it breaks us.
I don't want all that
giving to break me.
You're stronger than you know, Claudia.
We all are.
What if I'm not?
This is an amazing life that you have,
one that I could never
provide for my child.
And I know it is a huge ask,
and I probably sound
super crazy right now,
but would you consider
raising this baby with me?
Hey, we don't have any fights
on the schedule today,
so you back for some lessons?
Not exactly.
I'm actually interested in
one of your other donors.
- Yeah, which one?
- Chief Stansfield?
I saw his photo on the wall over there.
Chief Aaron? He's the best.
He's on the board,
treasurer the last couple of years.
Donates so much of his time.
He's a really great guy.
He's the one who got Blake
involved in the first place.
Convinced your dad to give
the club $250K per year.
I thought it was a million.
Well, I guess it's all incremental
when you're a billionaire,
but I can't imagine what
we'd do with a million bucks.
I'd probably take a vacation.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, come on, fellas, break it up.
Come on, bring it in.
Hey, it's Steven.
When you get into the office tomorrow,
can you pull the books for last year?
Yeah. There's just a couple
of numbers I want to check.
I brought you a little something to, uh,
speed up your recovery.
You seem pretty chipper.
Did we...?
Oh, if we did, you'd remember.
Well, I was pretty wasted.
The last thing I remember
was railing on those two douche-nerds.
The liquor just wouldn't let me stop.
I guess I can't blame you for
dissolving Morell Corp. now.
Are you kidding?
Davis asked for an autograph,
and Webb wanted to propose;
they love you.
Really?
But I thought I called them
"two geeky Puff Daddies".
"Kanyes", but they loved your advice.
Thought it would add so
much value to their company,
they want to license
their battery tech to us
for under market value.
You brought it home.
No. They were sold
the minute they saw your
name on that invite.
Your reputation is what
saved this company.
It was all you.
It was us.
I mean, you are pretty lovable.
And we're family now.
I'm not gonna leave you.
At least not until we
make my money back.
Oh, by that time you'll love
me too much to let me go.
By the way, you're, uh,
welcome to stay as long
as you need to figure out
your living situation.
It's not the Ritz,
but the place is so big,
we can be on opposite wings
and never even see each other.
Unless we want to.
Booty, bubbles and nothing else.
Sounds more like Single White Female
than Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
And then she asked me to
raise Matthew's baby with her.
I mean, how crazy is that?
Well, tell me some part
of you didn't immediately
start decorating a nursery.
Oh, please.
I would need a serious brain injury
to agree to that.
No, it is full steam ahead
for her moving out.
Hello.
Vet.
- Yeah.
- Well, I hope it's good news.
You seem okay to me.
Are you sure?
Okay, thanks.
So he said that the medicine Bo ate
won't cause any long-term side effects.
Oh, thank God.
But they ran some tests,
and Claudia's pills aren't right.
What do you mean?
I mean, that the label on the bottle
doesn't match the pills.
She's supposed to be taking
phen-a-something, he said,
but she's actually just
been taking benzos.
So did the doctor screw
up or the pharmacist?
Or it wasn't a screwup at all.
Maybe I was wrong,
and this isn't a
'90s stalker-girl thriller.
Maybe it's more Hitchcock.
What if someone switched the pills?
Someone who? And why?
Someone who wanted to make
sure Claudia didn't get better.
Th-The pills are supposed to
help her think clearly, right?
Help her memory?
So maybe there's something
they'd rather she forget.
---
- Previously on Dynasty...
- Your father offered me
- the COO position.
- That was supposed to be mine.
With Jeff's backing, I will be
chief strategy officer
of Carrington Windbriar.
I've recently started my own company,
which I am building from the ground up,
on my own.
I thought we were building this
together.
Maybe I need to rethink
if Morell Corp. is the type of
company I want to be a part of.
Cristal Carrington's
sex tape, is that real?
Oh, it's real.
You leaked the tape.
Let me be the first to toast
Fallon Carrington.
I want you out of this house.
Kori, this is Michael Culhane.
He's a friend.
A single friend?
Kori just hates me because
I was a bitch in high school.
You're like a human bulldozer.
You'll crush anyone.
What I did was wrong.
Not just my relationship with Matthew,
but continuing the lie after he died.
It was no accident!
You killed my husband!
Has Cristal already gone to bed?
She's paying Mrs. Blaisdel a visit.
Oh, I have to get over there.
What are you doing here?
Claudia, can I please speak with you?
My husband is dead!
You are gonna pay for
the pain that you caused!
Carrington residence.
Oh, that is encouraging, sir.
No, just me a-and the man-child.
Of course.
I don't know if you can
hear me over the sound
of your digestive tract.
You'll be relieved to
know that Mr. Carrington
and your aunt will be home soon.
Claudia Blaisdel's condition is stable.
What a nightmare.
I'll light a candle at church.
Did Cristal say
if she was gonna be home in time
to take me shopping
for my interview suit?
She failed to mention that.
Ah, I see you've taken
my advice to heart.
Is that a r?sum??
In progress.
"Bilingual."
I suppose you are.
I'm not sure about
"drug or disease free."
You're supposed to add little
flourishes to your r?sum?.
Well, perhaps
you should add "wizard of lies."
That wouldn't be a flourish.
- Good morning to you, too.
- Supposed to
go over the Foundation
grant proposals with Dad.
Is he still at the hospital?
Home soon.
Uh, you should wait
30 minutes after eating
before you challenge your father.
You might get a cramp.
Or thrown out, like your sister.
I know you told me
that you weren't going to hate me,
but you might want to tell your face.
There's a hell of a lot of distance
between hate and friendship.
You've got some miles to go.
Well, party's over.
I've been kicked out for less.
No, your protests cost Dad
hundreds of millions of dollars,
not to mention legal fees.
What I did was just a prank.
Kids pull pranks.
You weaponized a sex tape of Dad's wife.
You're lucky they're not suing you.
Lucky?
I have to go live at The Ritz, Steven.
Before you get your
martyr status verified
with a little blue check mark,
you might want to remember it
wasn't just Cristal you betrayed
when you leaked that tape.
What, you're siding with Daddy?
You were so focused on
yourself and hurting Cristal,
you didn't stop to think
about how it might affect
our relationship?
One thing I'll say, being out on my own
really helped me grow up.
And yet, now you're back
at the same company
you criticized for years?
The company takes, the Foundation gives.
I've got a chance to
course-correct our legacy.
But I wouldn't expect you to understand
the concept of greater good.
Steven.
Can someone please help me with my bags?
Surprised you still came in.
I didn't think our cover
girl had time to spare
from her self-promotion tour.
And I didn't realize you
held grudges so hard.
Look, we were just leaving.
I'm busy scouting new investments.
Well, don't you think
assets should take priority?
Is that what you think
you are to me, Fallon?
'Cause Morell Corp.
feels more like a liability.
Could you excuse us for a minute,
please?
Of course.
I realize that we aren't profitable yet.
But we will be very soon.
You keep saying that.
But beyond profits,
I'm worried about us.
W-What do you mean, "us"?
Exactly. With that attitude,
I'm not sure I should be in
business with you at all.
Well, obviously, the answer is yes.
Let's talk later.
Okay? Have LaNique try and
fit you in my schedule.
I just hope it won't make
the launch party awkward.
- What launch party?
- The one I'm planning,
to introduce us to the energy community.
Government regulators,
strategic partners,
international buyers.
People we need to be in business with.
"We."
And did you just come up with this idea?
God, no. I've been thinking about it
for the last two minutes.
Look, Jeff.
This is the only thing going
right in my life, okay?
That's why I've taken so much ownership.
But I want this for you, too.
I'm committed to you.
Just let me prove it.
Last shot.
Thank you.
And one last thing,
the party's at your house
'cause I got kicked out of mine.
Yeah, it's been over 12 hours.
Besides donating a kidney,
I don't think there's anything
more we can do for her.
Maybe give her a friendly face
to look at when she wakes up?
We already saved her from that Obamacare
waiting room nightmare downstairs.
I think we're covered.
Blake, a check isn't gonna
be enough this time.
We have to be by Claudia's side.
The only thing we need to
do is make sure this woman,
who has already proven
herself to be highly volatile,
doesn't sue us for half
of Carrington Atlantic,
or put me in jail for
attempted vehicular homicide.
Shh.
If the Carringtons are here,
this must be my funeral.
You're in a suite at the hospital,
Claudia.
How are you feeling?
Like someone hit me with 3,000
pounds of European metal.
We can get you some pain medication.
Maybe a morphine drip?
No, I can't have morphine.
Did they not tell you?
Ah, Danzette.
- Thank you for coming in.
- Ah.
Any friend of yours.
Uh, we should be able to get you out
by this afternoon, Mrs. Blaisdel.
Well, that-that seems so fast.
Well, her, uh, injuries are minor.
The bone bruises will take
a little while to heal,
but, uh, most importantly,
the baby's fine.
- Baby?
- She's pregnant?
Why didn't you tell us?
With Matthew's death, I wasn't rushing
to put out birth announcements.
I'll, uh...
get the discharge papers started.
Do you have someone to drive you home?
We'll take her home.
To the manor.
What?
No, she has help.
It's not the same as a house
full of people to care for her.
Just until you recuperate.
Our histories aside, you have
someone else to think about now.
It's settled.
You're staying with us.
Anything ours is yours,
and whatever else you may need,
these are the people
that can get it for you.
- I don't think this is a good idea.
- Nonsense.
Can we please put her in the east wing,
with us?
Yes, ma'am.
We'll be right down the hall.
- Burn this.
- Anders.
We can find her another sweater,
dip it in oatmeal.
It's quite an array of
strays you're collecting.
The responsible thing
would be to spay and neuter them.
Anders.
Claudia is pregnant.
Oh, God.
Well, I hope
she doesn't stay till the birth.
I am long past my diapering days.
For the record, I'm with Claudia.
This was a terrible idea.
Yeah. You've only
mentioned it five times now.
Because I thought we had closed the door
on all things Matthew and Claudia,
so we could move on.
And then you went and ran her over.
Claudia is pregnant, Blake.
Does that mean nothing to you?
Not unless it's mine.
Look, I am just concerned.
This woman is unwell.
Not to mention a liability.
Even more reason why we
should look after her.
Have you considered why
she would agree to move in?
After everything we've put her through?
If it were me,
I'd be looking for any hint of dirt
that I could use against us.
That's because you're enterprising.
Claudia is alone. We owe her.
I want to do this.
Well, I don't know how you can.
I can't spare my COO to
become a full-time caregiver.
I am a modern woman, Blake.
I can handle it all.
Your office is coming together.
Only you would plan a party in
24 hours just to prove a point.
Well, it's a launch party.
It's supposed to be fast.
We're blasting off.
Why are you really doing it?
To give the company the
attention it deserves,
to woo new clients.
Mm-hmm.
Why are you always mm-hmming me?
I just think it's a strange
coincidence that you flake out
on my brother more than once,
but then Kori hooks up with this driver
who you were
"totally not having sex with",
and suddenly you're refocused
on Jeff with a vengeance.
You go where the attention is.
- That's so off.
- Mm-hmm.
Okay. Are you gonna
help me plan this or no?
Okay.
Where's Caroline Corpuz?
And Marc Hidoko?
Or any of Jeff's contacts?
Well, I need to control the vibe,
introduce him to bigwigs
we need to be in business with.
Jeff took a lot of losses
in the startup space,
which makes a lot of his
former clients losers.
And you could be one of them
if you don't play things right.
And plus, this is tech.
Losers turn into winners with one idea.
Fine. Fine, I'll invite Jeff's contacts.
See? You can be a team player.
Next week, we'll work on tact.
Mm-hmm.
You might want to be sober for this one.
Well, I see your Haitian
wells and your carbon eaters,
but where are my more
conservative charities?
I want to take the Foundation
in a new direction.
Left.
Why am I not surprised?
You know,
we were already doing a lot of good.
But you probably couldn't see
that through the fake news
swirling around your liberal bubble.
There's nothing fake about homelessness,
uh, climate change, police brutality.
There's no cure for laziness,
propaganda and ignorance.
That may be the worst thing
I've ever heard you say.
I don't know what kind of
monster you think I am...
or maybe I do...
but the Foundation was actually growing
while you were off on your
little socialist Rumspringa.
Just because I was out in the world
with a different
political agenda to yours
doesn't mean I was playing games.
And there's no reason
for you to start now.
If your charities do
all this great work,
pitch them to me.
Be their advocate.
Let's hear all about
where your money goes.
If you even know.
I've been in sales the past 30 years.
I've been managing this charity
since before you were born.
And now you want to
challenge me on both?
I'll show you I'm right.
What are you gonna do?
Make me a diorama?
No, I'm gonna let you
see with your own eyes
how these charities work.
Then you can judge.
Hi.
There you are.
I called into the office and
I had them clear my schedule
so I could show you around.
Great.
You can give me a tour
of the Ming dynasty.
So are all these urns filled with
other people that Blake has run over?
So what can I show you?
It took me a while to
get my bearings here.
The first week,
I got lost in the wine cellar
and ended up on the shooting range.
Champagne problems, I guess.
Mine are a lot less complicated.
I'm here because
it makes sense for my recovery.
Not to make you feel better.
Oh, hi, Bo.
Hi.
I wasn't really a dog person before,
but Bo has stolen my heart.
He follows me everywhere.
It must be nice to have a dog
that you don't have to clean up after.
I'm sure you have people for that,
with your army of staff.
Yeah, that's another thing that
took a second to get used to.
Especially when you grow
up working class, like us.
Right.
We have so much in common.
Uh, I got to get this. It's work.
Excuse me.
Cristal Carrington.
Can't.
- I'm busy.
- Sam, I got to go in.
There was a leak on an offshore rig.
I need to coordinate the
environmental response,
reroute supply, manage the press...
So take the crazy lady with you.
I can't do that.
Look, I told Blake that
I'd be responsible for her,
but I wouldn't shirk my job.
So you're asking me to babysit?
I need a real job.
And I have a better
chance at getting one
in something couture.
Right now this is your job.
Keep Claudia company,
make her comfortable,
and give her whatever she wants.
So how much does crazy-sitting pay?
Damn it, Sam.
- Nothing's free, T?a.
- Right.
I mean, just the roof over your head
and an all-you-can-eat buffet,
but fine...
Consider this your expense account.
Do not tell Blake.
Here's her pill schedule.
You have to really keep
an eye on her, okay?
She is a handful.
Best cure for crazy is crazy money.
Do not get carried away, Sam.
Me?
Never.
Ay.
What? Is it too much?
All of it's too much.
They're getting paid, sweetie.
They do not mind.
And how often do you get to
see how the one percent lives?
Or how they live with themselves?
No, I can't.
Babies are such a drag.
if anyone should be taking
advantage of all this, it's you.
They hit you with their rich people car.
Take what you deserve.
It's payback.
Mmm.
Ah...
I don't remember the last
time I had actual fun.
My head is spinning.
I think I forgot to give you your pills.
Kidding.
But you can see how people get
addicted to this lifestyle.
I mean, imagine
living like this every day.
I can't even imagine.
Your aunt must have a fabulous closet.
Oh, it's bigger than the
apartment I grew up in.
Want to see it?
Should've figured the Foundation
would support a boxing club.
I know, I know,
you thought you were headed
to an NRA youth self-defense course.
Also in your wheelhouse.
We have been helping the
Meadowlark Athletic Club
for over ten years
and donated over a million dollars.
You know I have mixed feelings
about children boxing...
It's a miracle I didn't
end up with brain damage.
Well, maybe that explains
how you ended up a liberal.
I'm serious.
Which is why we never make contact
without headgear.
I'm Phil, I'm the director here.
Blake's got me up to speed
on your big decision, Steven,
so be prepared for me
to lay it on thick.
No need.
I can see the value
in a place like this,
but the sport...
It's changing lives for the better.
Yeah, a prime example is,
uh, Rudy over here.
Before she came here,
she was bullied so
bad she wasn't eating.
Luckily, she landed here
and learned how to box...
not to knock out her bullies,
but to take back the power
she felt they stole from her. Hey, Rudy.
Rudy, I want to introduce you
to two of our club's biggest donors:
Blake and Steven Carrington.
That's some impressive footwork,
young lady.
You think the feet are nice?
You should see me throw these hands.
She's got a fight tomorrow.
You guys should come out.
Yeah, watch me
whoop up on this little girl.
Count me in.
You got to love a girl with confidence.
You think going a few rounds
with me would be tough?
I should stick you in the ring with her.
This is Cristal's closet?
Coco Chanel said, look at yourself
in the mirror and take
at least one thing off
before you leave the house.
I say, add five more.
How about a hat?
Yes.
We wear the same size shoes.
Let's see.
Final touch.
Yas. Work!
Where's Cristal?
- Uh...
- Uh, Cristal told me
to give Claudia anything she wants,
and I was just following
her to make sure...
Is that my watch?
Relax, I wasn't going to steal it.
I'm sorry, this was my idea.
I shouldn't have gone
into your wife's things.
It's just... it's been such a long time
since I've dressed up, and...
It was silly, really,
like kids in a closet.
I forgot about the rest
of the world for a moment.
It was nice to forget.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
No, it-it's all right.
You-You've been through a lot.
Let's get you back to your room.
Oh.
No, no, you... you keep it.
You're beautiful.
Okay.
I've been getting texts all day.
People are excited to come out.
Well, here's the menu;
the chef's a friend of mine.
And I got the mixologist
from Establishment.
Ah. Nice.
And the guest list?
You know who we should add?
Johnny Davis and Brayden Webb.
I just heard they were in town.
- They founded the...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know who they are.
I tried to poach them when I was at C.A.
I took them to
Staplehouse's opening night,
and then, in the middle of dinner,
they turned me down.
I went ballistic.
I'm surprised you didn't hear about it.
They might have mentioned it
in the cover story Fast
Company did on them.
Something about you threatening
to eat one of them alive
and crush the other into "nerd sauce".
Okay, well, I'm not wrong.
I mean, these guys think pocket
protectors are high fashion.
All I know is,
they developed a super efficient battery
we need desperately for
energy storage at Windbriar.
Well, I try
not to operate from desperation.
Yeah, well, I want them there.
It's on you.
What's more important?
Your pride or this company?
Claudia.
Was just checking to see
how you're settling in.
Uh, well as can be,
given the circumstances.
Life is so strange.
To have you, of all people,
taking care of me.
Well, we're all happy to
be in a position to help.
A year ago, we didn't know each other.
A few days ago,
I would've been at your throat.
Life can turn on a dime.
Change your entire world.
Especially getting pregnant.
I can only imagine.
You live in a mansion,
with a staff of servants to help.
I'm all alone at this now.
You're not alone, Claudia.
Y-You're not my friend or my family.
I'm so sorry.
I know Matthew would've
been an amazing...
Father?
Right.
I bet you don't even think
that this is his baby.
Well, you know what?
There's no need to call Maury,
because even though we
lived our separate lives,
we still came home to the same bed.
And we never stopped sleeping together.
Oh, does that surprise you?
Or does it just drive you
a little crazy knowing that
there is a little piece
of him still inside me?
A piece you can't steal.
Claudia, it was never my intention...
What, to take him away from me?
How can you say that?
You almost did.
He told me he was leaving me,
and now I know it was for you.
When did he say that?
You have everything.
I have nothing.
I don't have a husband...
Okay, Claudia,
I know you're emotional...
Wasn't it enough that
you had all of this?
You had to have Matthew, too?
- I'm sorry...
- Just get out...
Just get out now!
Maybe you were right and Claudia
shouldn't be staying with us.
I mean, clearly, she needs
more help than we can give her.
Go ahead and say, "I told you so."
Actually,
after seeing Claudia this afternoon
when she was with Sam,
I think your initial instinct was right.
I think she needs more than a caregiver.
She needs connection.
You didn't see what she just did.
No, but to be fair,
you did mention Matthew.
I'm guessing she didn't need a reminder
that you were sleeping
with her dead husband.
I didn't mean to upset her.
Considering her fragility,
physical and emotional...
Wow. I can't believe you're the
one spouting emotional truths.
Neither can I.
Look at you.
You got me talking
empathy and compassion
and Claudia staying here.
Stop rubbing off on me.
Rudy wins the match.
- Great fight, Rudy. How are you feeling?
- Hungry.
A little bird told me
that the winner buys
pizza for the loser.
Do you mind if we break with
tradition this time and I buy?
- Sounds good to me.
- All right.
Stansfield?
Every major player under 40 in energy
is in this room right now.
Table is certainly set.
You even manned up and
got me my tech twins.
They look like they
could use an apology.
Oh, I wouldn't wait for that.
It would be rude not to
greet the guests first.
Hello.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome.
Now, I would like to be the first
to welcome you to Jeff Colby's house.
I have a very important
announcement to make.
Jeff and I are having a baby.
Well, technically, we already did.
The Morell Green Energy Corporation.
And while it's not a literal baby,
this new venture means
just as much to me.
I am proud as hell to
introduce you to my new family,
starting with my brilliant partner,
a man who trusted me with his money,
with his brand,
the only man I would trust with my baby,
Jeff Colby.
Come on up here.
Now, let's make one thing clear.
This is not your daddy's energy company.
We're fueled by life.
Water, wind, sun,
the natural,
unfiltered elements of this planet,
and we will use those elements to power
your very futures if you let us.
The next generation.
At Morell Corp.
we're all about new energy,
and that's our theme for today.
So let's get this party charged up.
Smashing a crystal vase?
No confusing the message there.
Obviously, there's still some friction
between the missus and the mistress,
and maybe I can smooth things over.
I'm quite a gracious host.
Oh, I know. I saw the receipts.
Hey, forgiveness ain't cheap,
and you're lucky that's all it cost.
Just how did you max out
an unmaxable credit card?
Oh, we can find out again tomorrow
if you want me to keep
playing nice with crazy.
No, Bo! Stop! No!
Bo, stop!
I accidentally dropped my pills
and Bo started eating them
- before I could pick them up.
- Oh, my God.
Who knows what those
pills will do to him.
- Okay, Sam, help me take Bo to the car.
- Yeah, let's go, Bo.
What on earth happened?
Take Claudia upstairs.
We're taking Bo to the vet.
So, you're telling me you're
not upset that Kori showed up?
That she rode in on that stallion
that you are not having sex with?
I'm fine they're here.
- I didn't even notice them coming in.
- Mm-hmm.
- Just drop it, okay?
- Okay.
This house is freaking amazing, Jeff.
That's an original, right?
Better be for what I paid for it.
I'm more of an abstract
expressionism man myself,
but even I like that.
Then you've got good taste.
Of course bae's got good taste.
He's with me.
Fall, you might want to slow down.
Not unless I speed up
on something stronger.
Do you want anything from the bar?
No, I'm good.
- Hey, Fallon.
- Hello.
Oh, you made it.
Yup, and we brought
a bottle to celebrate.
Our stock's over ten dollars a share.
You said we'd never get over $6.50
without Carrington Atlantic behind us.
Yeah, I remember what I said,
Webb or Davis
or whichever one of you is which.
But I don't have time to
reminisce about the past.
Today is about the future.
There you go.
Hi.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Your nose looks great.
Nice party, Fallon.
Surprised I got an invite.
And I'm surprised you brought a date.
Cling much?
Obsess much?
Or could you just feel the vibe?
Oh, I'm not super concerned
about your relationship.
But since you asked,
Michael is taking me
on a little vacation.
Said it would be nice to
get away from his boss.
We're going to Miami this weekend.
Well, if you last that long.
Don't be bitter.
You must have known your...
chauffeur-with-benefits
situation had no future.
And you think this is true love?
I doubt he'd recognize you
if you weren't on all fours.
Look who's talking,
Little Miss Thot-A-Lot.
Did you ever think that you
never went out in public
with Michael because he didn't
want to be seen with you?
You know, normally,
I like to get the last word,
but tonight's not about personal
baggage... it's about business.
And I hope that,
despite all of this, you and I
can still do business in the future.
Excuse me.
No need to put that away just yet.
What are you doing in here?
I could ask you the same question.
I didn't think you had it
in you to be this petty,
coming to my launch party with Kori.
But you did a great job
of making me jealous.
I'm on a date with my girlfriend.
This has nothing to do with you.
No, you did this
to get a rise out of me.
Now I'm gonna get a rise out of you.
Fallon, stop.
You're being ridiculous, all right?
Sex isn't gonna get you out of this one.
Well, your mouth says no,
but your friend seems pretty interested.
You may not have any
respect for yourself,
but I've got respect
for me and for Kori.
So whatever you came here to do,
get it through your head...
it's not happening.
You never asked me to
go to Miami with you.
You never introduced me to
Blake as your boyfriend.
Because he'd fire you.
Maybe I'd get another job.
Don't pretend you care now, Fallon.
You didn't catch feelings overnight.
You seriously think I never cared?
What the hell were you doing
in the bathroom with Fallon?
- Nothing.
- If that was an act,
that was the most convincing faux-job
- I've ever seen.
- Kori, please...
Obviously, you two are used
to playing games, and I'm not.
And I won't.
I know.
Things are moving fast between us,
but I know who you are.
And I know that I'm
lucky to be with you.
There's no way that I'd throw
that away for two minutes
in a bathroom with Fallon Carrington.
She was just putting on a show.
Let's get out of here.
I want to show you
how much trouble you can get into
in my bathroom.
Our nerds are looking lonely.
You boys ready for that drink?
I see someone's unwinding from
a rough day at the office.
Mm.
I told you,
COO and babysitting would
be difficult to juggle.
But you handled yourself impeccably.
Everything you've done for Claudia.
You really are Wonder Woman.
Claudia. What are you doing?
Why are you in my bathtub?
I don't know.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so embarrassed.
I don't remember getting in here.
Please don't be mad at me.
I'm not mad, I'm just surprised.
Why didn't you say something?
I don't know.
Thank you. You're so kind.
Cristal's so lucky.
Blake?
Blake? What the hell's going on?
For you finally giving
us the time of day.
Not that one shot's gonna rebuild
the bridge you burned at Staplehouse.
Oh, men and their emotions.
All I want to know is
what do I have to do
to get you guys to say yes
to sharing your tech with Morell Corp.?
Ugh, that's vile.
Maybe it would taste better
with some nerd sauce.
This is where you apologize.
Oh, well, that's not gonna happen.
You guys are like the
Kanyes of Silicon Valley.
You're great at tech, everything else,
not so much.
I mean, marketing,
you didn't pivot when the company did.
Design, clumsy at best.
PR, you're too busy focusing
on that hunk of metal,
not your sweet, adorable faces.
You get all that straight,
you might actually be able
to make some real money.
Okay, I think we've had enough.
No, no, no, no, no.
If they've had enough,
we're just getting started.
Okay, let's go.
- How did it even happen, Blake?
- I thought it was you.
Well, it wasn't.
While you were making out with Claudia,
I was getting her crazy pills
pumped out of your bloodhound's stomach.
Come on, Cristal,
even I'm not stupid enough
to sleep with a houseguest
when my wife could
walk in at any minute... or ever.
You were right.
And I was right the first time,
before I got swept up in emotion.
And I will never let that happen again.
This woman is unhinged,
and she keeps proving it more every day.
Look, the fact is, she needs more help
than we can provide.
And I'm sorry, but we just can't protect
every broken bird that
lands on our windowsill.
She's not a bird, she's a woman...
whose life I've ruined.
She is sick,
and she needs to be somewhere
where there's 24-hour medical care
provided by a professional,
not her dead husband's ex-mistress.
I just wanted to help.
But are you sure this crusade
to help Claudia and her baby
doesn't have more to do with
your feelings for Matthew?
A part of Matthew is gonna
live on in this child.
The child the two of you never had.
Blake...
I'm sure at some point
you thought about it.
And that's okay.
But it's not okay...
for you to keep this woman in our lives
because you're clinging to memories.
I'll tell her it's time to move on.
It's the best thing for all of us.
Drink this.
Slowly.
This is water, it's not vodka.
I know.
Put this on.
Oh...
you think you're slick.
You finally got a chance to seduce me.
Hey...
where'd you get these bugles?
I mean bulges.
Fallon, no.
You're drunk.
So?
Okay, fine.
Fine. Just leave me here
like everyone else.
Just walk away, like my dad,
like my stupid mom, like Culhane.
What ever happened to Fallon
"I exist only for me" Carrington?
Is that what people think?
Am I really that unlovable?
Of course not.
But then why does everyone
always abandon me?
I'm still here.
Sorry I've been avoiding you.
I just don't know what to say anymore.
No, I-I'm the one who's sorry.
I should have said something
the second that Blake came in.
I didn't realize...
- No need to discuss it.
- Just know that
everything you're doing is appreciated.
And I know it is no excuse
for what happened last night,
but part of having
traumatic brain injury,
it's not just confusion,
but loss of inhibition
and impulse control.
I just want what's best for you,
Claudia.
And at this point I think
the best thing for you
is not staying here at
the Carrington Manor
but living someplace where they
can fully take care of you.
You want me to leave?
No, no, I can't.
I'm afraid to be alone.
I'm afraid that my
condition is getting worse.
I'm bringing a baby into this world.
A baby I-I don't feel
capable of raising.
But you will have
nurses and your family.
And I know you will love this baby.
Finding the love isn't the question.
I mean, it never is for women, right?
We give and we give
and we give un-until it breaks us.
I don't want all that
giving to break me.
You're stronger than you know, Claudia.
We all are.
What if I'm not?
This is an amazing life that you have,
one that I could never
provide for my child.
And I know it is a huge ask,
and I probably sound
super crazy right now,
but would you consider
raising this baby with me?
Hey, we don't have any fights
on the schedule today,
so you back for some lessons?
Not exactly.
I'm actually interested in
one of your other donors.
- Yeah, which one?
- Chief Stansfield?
I saw his photo on the wall over there.
Chief Aaron? He's the best.
He's on the board,
treasurer the last couple of years.
Donates so much of his time.
He's a really great guy.
He's the one who got Blake
involved in the first place.
Convinced your dad to give
the club $250K per year.
I thought it was a million.
Well, I guess it's all incremental
when you're a billionaire,
but I can't imagine what
we'd do with a million bucks.
I'd probably take a vacation.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, come on, fellas, break it up.
Come on, bring it in.
Hey, it's Steven.
When you get into the office tomorrow,
can you pull the books for last year?
Yeah. There's just a couple
of numbers I want to check.
I brought you a little something to, uh,
speed up your recovery.
You seem pretty chipper.
Did we...?
Oh, if we did, you'd remember.
Well, I was pretty wasted.
The last thing I remember
was railing on those two douche-nerds.
The liquor just wouldn't let me stop.
I guess I can't blame you for
dissolving Morell Corp. now.
Are you kidding?
Davis asked for an autograph,
and Webb wanted to propose;
they love you.
Really?
But I thought I called them
"two geeky Puff Daddies".
"Kanyes", but they loved your advice.
Thought it would add so
much value to their company,
they want to license
their battery tech to us
for under market value.
You brought it home.
No. They were sold
the minute they saw your
name on that invite.
Your reputation is what
saved this company.
It was all you.
It was us.
I mean, you are pretty lovable.
And we're family now.
I'm not gonna leave you.
At least not until we
make my money back.
Oh, by that time you'll love
me too much to let me go.
By the way, you're, uh,
welcome to stay as long
as you need to figure out
your living situation.
It's not the Ritz,
but the place is so big,
we can be on opposite wings
and never even see each other.
Unless we want to.
Booty, bubbles and nothing else.
Sounds more like Single White Female
than Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
And then she asked me to
raise Matthew's baby with her.
I mean, how crazy is that?
Well, tell me some part
of you didn't immediately
start decorating a nursery.
Oh, please.
I would need a serious brain injury
to agree to that.
No, it is full steam ahead
for her moving out.
Hello.
Vet.
- Yeah.
- Well, I hope it's good news.
You seem okay to me.
Are you sure?
Okay, thanks.
So he said that the medicine Bo ate
won't cause any long-term side effects.
Oh, thank God.
But they ran some tests,
and Claudia's pills aren't right.
What do you mean?
I mean, that the label on the bottle
doesn't match the pills.
She's supposed to be taking
phen-a-something, he said,
but she's actually just
been taking benzos.
So did the doctor screw
up or the pharmacist?
Or it wasn't a screwup at all.
Maybe I was wrong,
and this isn't a
'90s stalker-girl thriller.
Maybe it's more Hitchcock.
What if someone switched the pills?
Someone who? And why?
Someone who wanted to make
sure Claudia didn't get better.
Th-The pills are supposed to
help her think clearly, right?
Help her memory?
So maybe there's something
they'd rather she forget.
