Dynasty (2017–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Something Desperate - full transcript

- Previously on Dynasty...
- (SCREAMS)

It worked. The judge
has agreed to grant bail

on the condition of house arrest.

We need to make Liam
remember that he loves me,

not Trashley.

- Kirby, listen...
- Don't say it.

I'm really sorry.

I 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.



You're a selfish,
spoiled little princess.

I hate you!

(SHOUTING, GRUNTING)

As your wife, I should have
a say in the family business.

Well, then, congrats on your promotion.

I will find a way to see Liam.

Laura said that wedding bells

weren't too far off for Liam and Ashley.

(BLAKE HUMMING "EVERYBODY
WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD")

(HUMMING CONTINUES)

Good morning, Father.

Sure is. I am on top of the world.

- Sun is shining,
- (CHUCKLES)

I slept with both eyes closed...



mmm... and this

looks a hell of a lot better
than breakfast in jail.

He's even been humming all morning.

The same song.

Well, it's because it's the truth.

Everybody does want to rule the world.

And some of us actually do.

- (CHUCKLES)
- I know.

I still have a trial ahead of me. Mmm.

Well, you don't need to
worry about the winery.

I know last week's
incident was unfortunate,

but nobody is going to

remember Halloween
after tonight's tasting.

The invitations have already gone out,

including to the personal sommelier

to the Swedish royal family.

Well, that makes it the
perfect opportunity to introduce

Blue Belt Vineyard's new copresident.

It has a nice ring to it.

Tell Adam what you've been thinking.

It's good.

JENNINGS: I just thought
we could open the doors

a bit, you know?

There's a whole generation out there

who couldn't care less
about Bordeaux or Napa.

I didn't know we were aiming for
the Two-Buck Chuck demographic.

We're aiming for the people who know

that fine wine doesn't have
to mean stuffy and traditional.

We need them here tonight.

Now, like I said, it's a little late

to be sending out invitations, isn't it?

Don't worry. I'll take
care of everything.

Mm. Already hitting the ground running.

(HUMMING)

(HUMMING CONTINUES IN DISTANCE)

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Somebody's chipper this morning.

Oh, he's not the only
one. Up before 8:30

and working out?

I don't even know who you are anymore.

I'm a professional now. A hotelier.

A pillar of my community.

- Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
- Well, speaking of heads,

where are you going
with that fresh blowout?

A, my hair always looks this good.

And B, I am going to talk to Liam.

Yeah, but doesn't...

His mother have a restraining
order against me? Yes.

- And isn't...
- He staying at her house? Also, yes.

But apparently, he and Ashley
are talking about marriage.

And I can't let that happen.
Okay? Not without a fight.

But you have been fighting. I mean,

don't you remember the slideshow?

And the sea bass?

What, you're gonna ambush
him with other fish?

I am going to give him this.

The original manuscript to Liam's book.

With his notes.

There may be nothing I can
say to bring back his memory,

but maybe his own words will.

I mean, it's basically the
story of our relationship.

I know it's a long shot, but
it's the only shot I have left.

Fallon, this isn't an '80s movie.

You can't just stand outside
his house with a boom box.

Or, you know,

a manuscript.

Maybe I should bring a boom box, too.

You know, music is the
purest form of expression.

And a restraining
order is the purest form

of "stay the hell away".

Well, you know what? I have
a plan to get around that.

ADAM: Mrs. Gunnerson.

I didn't know you were an artist.

What-what is this masterpiece?

Mrs. Carrington asked me to make it.

She's added a few invitations
at the last minute,

and she wants them to be special.

Of course.

And who is this one for?

Thank you.

Caroline Calloway.

- She's, uh, one of those...
- Influencers?

- Mm.
- Yeah, they all are.

And they're all picky eaters.

Look, I know you have
your plate full, literally.

Uh, why don't I take
care of this invitation.

I'll grab a couple of our best
bottles and have them sent out.

That's all right.

Mrs. Carrington asked me
to see to it personally.

No, I insist.

We're all on the same
team here, aren't we?

MONICA: I'm glad you're back.

Cheers, to the only family that matters.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

What the hell is this?

- An apology.
- What are you doing here?

I thought I told you to stay away.

Nobody needs to hear more of your lies.

I know. Which is why I
came to tell you the truth.

The police didn't find

that cuff link because it wasn't there.

I took it.

Of course you did.

But I did it for your own good, Jeff.

If Blake would've found out

what you were doing, he would
have come for you himself.

Then why pretend to help
me? Why let me leave?

You would have escalated the war

until you did get yourself killed.

Getting you out of Atlanta

was the only way to keep you safe.

And what the hell makes
you think I needed you

to keep me safe?

You have been gone
for the last ten years.

Did you really think you
could just swoop into our lives

and decide what's best for us?

I know there were so many times

I wasn't there for you, both of you.

That's why I was willing to
do anything to protect you now,

why I'm willing to do
anything to make things right.

You really want to make things right?

Then leave my house.

Now.

Rosé all day. Groundbreaking.

(PHONE VIBRATING)

Hey, Laura.

Yeah, I guess you got my message.

(WHISPERING): I know it's crazy,
but I heard it with my own ears.

You know how Fallon can be.

(GAS HISSING)

(SNIFFING)

BLAKE (IN DISTANCE): Bo? Here, boy!

(GAS CONTINUES HISSING)

(BO BARKING)

♪♪

Drywall must be complete by end of day.

This hotel opens in one week.

- Thank you.
- Looking good.

As are you.

The Italians cut a better
suit than DeKalb County Jail.

I can't tell you how
sorry I am. What Blake did.

Unforgivable.

Thanks. I appreciate that.

And I'm sorry for the way
things turned out with Kirby.

It was just bad timing.

Oh, no need for apologies, really.

Um, I'm sure you're both gonna be fine.

You're right. No need
to dwell on the past.

Mm. And what about the
future for Michael Culhane?

Well, I'm back to running the Atlantix,

and that's actually why I'm here.

We got a new midfielder in from Cuba.

Could take the Atlantix
to the next level.

But he's only been here a few weeks,

and his place got broken
into the other night.

He's kind of shaken up.

I'm sure he is.

Anyway, I figure a few days' quiet

could do him a lot of good.

I know you guys are a little ways out

from opening up, but I thought
you might have a room finished.

You do realize we're
not operational yet.

Which is exactly why no one
will be looking for him here.

And I trust you guys.

The team will pay
well above market rate,

and I see no reason why
this place could not be

the official hotel
for the visiting teams.

I-I'll speak to Sam.

I can't think of a better
partnership for the hotel.

(BOTH LAUGH)

GUNNERSON: Mrs. Carrington.

Just adjusting the menu to
accommodate our new guests.

Thank you.

Though I don't have
RSVPs from any of them.

Did the invitations go out all right?

- Yes. I think so.
- You think?

Well, I made them just
the way we talked about,

and then Mr. Carrington took one.

Blake?

No. Mr. Adam.

He was going to pull a few
bottles to send along with them.

Did he not tell you?

He must have forgotten.

- I'm sorry, ma'am.
- It's not your fault.

You're not gonna tell him,
are you? That I told you.

Don't worry. If I've
learned anything from Fallon,

it's not to pick a fight with Adam.

I just need to keep him busy
until this tasting is over.

JEFF: So, you said that you'd do

anything to make things right?

- Of course.
- JEFF: Well, I got something.

The annual Blue Belt
wine tasting is tonight

at Carrington Manor.

Apparently, Adam's
running the vineyard now.

Prodigal son entrusted with

the last remaining jewel
of the Carrington empire.

It's almost Shakespearean.

It's also an opportunity.

What are you talking about?

I want to put the
last nail in the coffin

of Blake's legacy.

His reputation.

I want to make sure
he can never rebuild.

Well, actually, I want you to.

This is exactly what I meant, Jeff.

You'll never let it go.

Adam and Blake came for my life,

so now I'm coming for theirs,
in a manner of speaking.

And if you're really Team Colby,

you'll help me.

(QUIETLY): I knew she wouldn't do it.

What do you want me to do?

Get into the manor and
make sure that tasting

is Blue Belt's last.

And then what? Set the house on fire?

Oaky, don't be melodramatic.

I don't want you burning down the house.

I just want Adam to get a
little taste of his own medicine.

(FALLON GRUNTING)

Oh.

That's inconvenient. (EXHALES)

Liam, you better be in here
and you better be alone.

Open the door.

Liam?

Fallon? What are you doing here?

If you remembered me, this
really wouldn't surprise you.

And you should know

that I almost brought a boom
box, but more importantly...

(GRUNTS)... I brought this.

It's your book, about us.

Oh, there must be a copy here somewhere.

No, no. I mean, not
the original manuscript,

with your original notes, inside jokes,

and conversations we had. I just...

I really, really need you to read it

before you do something
crazy, because...

MAN: Freeze!

(GRUNTS) Hurry. Just take it.

No.

I think Adam may be a little shaken up

with this whole winery situation.

What do you mean?

He's had some trouble
finding his footing.

First he had to leave the soccer team,

and now he's feeling
pushed out of Blue Belt.

I didn't fire him.

I know that,

but you saw how he reacted at breakfast.

He's insecure.

I think he needs a reminder
that your relationship

is bigger than business.

You are right. Of course.

The two of you could
spend the day together.

Just father and son.
No business allowed.

This reeks of excessive force.

Ma'am, we're private security.

And I haven't touched you.

- You can still expect a civil suit.
- Mm.

(GRUNTING)

So maybe you should lawyer up.

LAURA: When I got a tip

that there was an
intruder on the property,

I wondered whether you were crazy enough

to come here; a mother's intuition,

that never fails.

The only reason I'm
not calling the police

is because I do not want
to ruin Liam's special day.

Special day?

That's right.

These last few weeks have

really put things into perspective.

And when it's true love, why wait?

So Ashley and Liam

have decided to skip
all the accoutrement

and just go straight to the
courthouse this afternoon.

Our courthouse?

(CHUCKLES)

You're even more
unbalanced than I thought.

And I'm warning you, if you step foot

near that courthouse,
you'll lose a lot more than

the one ounce of dignity you have left.

She thinks that this is a
game, that her son is... (GASPS)

not a real person with a real fiancée.

- Hey, are you listening to me?
- Not really.

Anders was just texting me 'cause

I was supposed to be at the hotel

half an hour ago, and Culhane...

Never mind. I am listening.
You wanted to play a game?

There is no game. This is a war.

I have to get that manuscript to Liam.

(SCOFFS) I'm sorry, did we just

travel back in time to this morning?

Fallon, you've already
tried your Hail Mary.

It's over, honey.

It's not over until that
manuscript is in Liam's hands.

You can't go back there.

- You're right.
- Yeah.

They will be looking for me,

but they won't be looking for you.

(CHUCKLES): Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm already late for work.

What? Sam, you can't be
late. You're the boss.

Plus, Laura doesn't even know you.

You're the perfect Trojan horse.

All you have to do is
get onto the property,

grab that manuscript and give it to Liam

before he heads to the courthouse.

But I've never even seen this place.

Oh, that's fine. I'll talk you
through it. It'll be really easy.

I'll be your Cyrano de Bergerac,
just with a much better nose.

Why do I have to be the horse?

Just go get ready, okay?
We don't have all day.

Fine.

It smells weird in here, anyway.

(GAS HISSING)

(PLAYING GENTLE MELODY)

You take requests?

I was rehearsing a little Beethoven

for the party tonight.

Though I don't think it's
that kind of party anymore.

What do you mean?

I think Cristal's new
vision is a little trendier,

judging by the guest list.

I mean, do you know any of these people?

Yeah. The Carters, right there.

Yeah, that's not Jimmy and
Rosalynn, that's Beyoncé.

- Oh.
- And she sends her regrets.

(CHUCKLES): Okay.

Hey, let's give her a chance, huh?

Cristal, not Beyoncé.

Besides, Tears For Fears is
a little more my style anyway.

- Yes.
- I remember when that song came out.

I was younger than you. My
hair was a little longer.

- I think that was called a mullet.
- (LAUGHS)

Well, you should've
seen my moves back then.

- Yeah?
- Few too many of these,

- you just might.
- (LAUGHS)

You little rat!

Hey! (STAMMERS)

That was good Scotch.

You called in that tip to
Laura Van Kirk, didn't you?

And if you think that's the only tip

- she's gotten from him...
- Oh.

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

And I don't think I want to know.

I just needed five
minutes with my fiancé.

Instead, I almost got arrested

because you are sleeping
with Mrs. Robinson.

Well, you violated a restraining order.

I'm not sure I'm the crazy one here.

Well, I'm not the one who
tried to change Mom's face.

Kids, stop it, both of you!

We have enough battles to fight

without turning on each other, too.

Well, tell that to Dr. Frankenstein.

Is that the Whitesnake
record you gave me?

Yeah. I was feeling a
bit nostalgic for my 20s.

I wanted to share some good,
classic music with Adam.

But why? We were doing
just fine without him.

Why can't we go back to that?

You were a little pitchy

What verse?

When you were singing.

Just now?

Uh, nobody was singing, Fallon.

Are you feeling okay?

No.

Not anymore.

MICHAEL: All right, you'll be in 304.

They're still working on the elevator,

but the stairs are right there.

And since room service
isn't up and running,

let's get you a few
extra bottles of water

- before we head up.
- Michael?

Kirby. Hey.

What are you doing here?
Are you here to see me?

I'm actually here on business.

What kind of business?

I can't really talk about it.

I should really be going.

But I hope everything is good with you.

Just fine.

Let's go.

BLAKE: How's it going
with the wine tasting?

There was a little mishap
with the invitations today,

but it's all sorted out now.

I called the guests myself.

Yeah, speaking of the invitations,

I didn't recognize most of
the names on the guest list.

Let me guess: Adam showed you?

I know you're trying to
pull in a new audience,

but I didn't realize it was
at the expense of the old one.

What about my friends?

Those people aren't going to
keep Blue Belt in business.

After we talked,

I looked at the vineyard's books.

Sales have all but evaporated
since Mack and Trixie.

And you didn't say anything?

I didn't want to distract you.

It would be a bigger distraction
if my winery went under,

don't you think?

It's all we have left.

Which is why

we need to cultivate
this new customer base.

That's how we're going to rebuild
the entire Carrington empire.

(VAN DOOR CLOSES)

(SIGHS)

Good afternoon.

Yeah. How can I help?

I have a delivery from Petals
on Ponce for Mr. Liam Ridley.

Oh, no problem. I'll take those.

Uh, uh, is Mr. Ridley here?

Because I have specific instructions

to deliver them directly to him.

They're for today's event.

And who's the sender?

Oh, it's Miss Ashley
Cunningham. The bride.

Of course.

Go on through. Someone will
meet you at the front door.

Gracias.

(QUIETLY): Okay, I'm through the gate.

FALLON (OVER EARPIECE):
Now the real mission begins.

There you are. I was waiting for you.

I thought we should
try the product first

before everyone else does tonight.

I've been talking with Cristal.

She says wine sales

were basically nonexistent this month.

Why didn't you say anything?

Well, you know, it's
just a passing phase.

Once the new cycle moves on,

everyone will forget about the scandals

and remember how much
they love Blue Belt wine.

Starting tonight, I hope.

I'll toast to that.

- Want to do the honors?
- What'd you pick?

What the hell is this?

What?

- Oh, I think it's Cristal.
- Yeah, I know it's Cristal.

What is her face doing
on this wine bottle?

Don't ask me. Didn't
she talk to you about it?

About taking me off my own label? No.

- We didn't talk about this.
- Wow.

First your friends, now your face.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think

she was trying to erase
you from Blue Belt.

JENNINGS: He said I made those?

Well, that's your face, isn't it?

Yes, it's my face.

Same as the day we met.

But I have never seen that label before

in my life.

This is obviously Adam
trying to embarrass me.

I told you this morning,

he doesn't want me
involved in the winery.

Then why would he put
your face on the label?

For the same reason he
showed you that guest list.

To make it look like I'm
trying to take over the company.

Are you?

Adam didn't make that
new guest list. You did.

But only because I...

'Cause I'm a liability right now?

Blake, you are under a lot of stress...

Yeah, this is not helping!

(SIGHS)

Liam's bedroom is around the back.

(OVER EARPIECE): First
floor, on the corner.

And the manuscript should
be right under his balcony.

Did you find it?

Not yet.

Did you find it now?

Wait, I see it.

It's way under there, though.
I don't know if I can reach it.

Okay, I climbed that
building in heels, Sam.

Suck it up.

(GROANS)

There are thorns everywhere.

Got it.

You owe me a facial.

(GROANS) That little troll.

CULHANE: Here we are.

Home, for the next few days at least.

Thank you.

This is... it's great.

Well, the team is a family;
that's what family does.

You got my number if you need me,

and I'll be sure to have my
office reach out to you...

No. Don't.

Well, it'd just be easier if
you can't get in contact with me.

It's safer if no one knows.

I know you're shaken
up by what happened,

but the police will
find whoever broke in.

I already know who it was.

What? Who?

Things in Cuba were... bad.

It wasn't safe.

I was trying to get out for a
long time, and I needed help.

And these guys, that's what they do.

They're very expensive,
and I didn't have the money.

- What do they want?
- To get paid.

- And did you pay them?
- Yes.

But now they want more, and
every time I say no, they...

- They sent you a message.
- No one should know I'm here.

You're telling me.

She said she'd never
seen those labels before,

- that you must've made them.
- When?

I've been with you most
of the day. (STAMMERS)

Why would I put Cristal's
face on anything?

I asked her the same thing.

She said that you want
her out of the winery.

I want what's best for the winery,

which is why I managed to
find some of the old labels.

We'll switch them out before tonight.

No. This whole thing was a mistake.

I thought it would bring
the family closer together.

It's caused nothing but strife.
I'm canceling the tasting.

No, no, you can't do that.

Look, I don't know what's
happening with Cristal,

but it's not about her
tonight; it's about your winery.

Everything's already in motion.

We may as well just make the best of it.

I'll-I'll call Bob
Channing and the Carters.

Just give me a chance.

Fine.

All right. You won't regret it.

(DOOR OPENS)

Dominique.

What a surprise.

Don't worry, I'm not here
for your little wine party.

I'm sure my invitation
was lost in the mail.

Yeah, I'll go check on that.

So what are you doing here, hmm?

Haven't seen enough of me lately?

Or did you already go
through that million?

I'm here to ask for your word
that you'll leave Jeff alone.

(CHUCKLES): Oh, really?

'Cause I seem to recall
you giving me your word

that he'd be out of my hair.

All of a sudden, he's back in Atlanta.

I said I would handle it, and I will.

Nothing needs to change,
including my payments.

So are we good?

Luckily for you, I've got my hands full

with these Georgia state prosecutors

right now, so, yeah, I'll
stand down as long as he does.

You can see yourself out.

FALLON (OVER EARPIECE):
Okay, when you get in,

you should see a tacky spiral staircase.

You want to go left there

and then down that hall.

You're gonna walk by, like,
four big oil portraits of Laura,

which seems a little on
the nose to me, but...

Uh, can we save the running commentary?

Okay, so left at the staircase.

Uh, right.

You said left.

FALLON: No, no, no, no.
Yeah, but it actually...

it actually is a right.

Are you trying to confuse me?

No, no. Okay, I have a headache.

I mean, it must be from all this stress.

You're stressed? I'm the one trespassing

in a stranger's home
wearing a polo shirt.

Can I help you?

SAM: Ma'am,

like I told the guard,

I specific instructions
to hand deliver these

I will sign for them and make sure

- he gets them.
- SAM: No, no, no.

But isn't that technically fraud, hmm?

If my boss finds out, I could get fired.

I am sure you can understand,
as a fellow employee.

Yes, and I'm sure you understand

that I can't just let a

We've already had a
security breach today.

- My bad.
- Yeah. Thanks a lot.

Pardon me?

I was just, um...

I was saying a little
prayer for my... cat.

Really? Your cat?

She's very sick,

and the medicine are very expensive.

And that's why I really,

really, really have to keep this job.

So if you would just please
show me to Mr. Ridley.

- Please.
- What about Mr. Ridley?

- No, no!
- Here you go.

Liam.

(GASPS) Liam?

You look great.

LIAM: I'm sorry.

My memory's not what it
used to be. Have-have we met?

It's just me, Sam, arguably
Fallon's best friend.

- Fallon Carrington?
- Just give him the book, Sam!

She tried to give you this earlier.

It's your book about
her. If you just read it,

you might remember the truth,
that you guys are in love.

I'm getting security.

LIAM: I'm-I'm really flattered,

- I'm getting married today.
- Just let me talk to Liam.

Uh, this is Fallon. She's on the phone.

- (PHONE BEEPS)
- Okay, Fallon, you're on speaker.

And security is probably on their way,

- so skip the small talk.
- FALLON: Liam,

I know this is crazy,

and I know that you're supposed
to be getting married today,

but that is why I really,

really need you to read this book first,

because even if you can't remember yet,

what we had was magical.

It was epic, even.

And I know I can't just forget it.

Uh, Liam, it was great seeing you.

Fallon, that was special.

Wait, I'm not done.

Caroline. Adam Carrington,
co-president of Blue Belt.

This is Bob. Bob.

- Uh-huh?
- This is Caroline.

I think you two have a lot in common.

- See? We got this.
- Yeah, I hope you're right.

Wouldn't be a wine tasting
without the wine, would it?

I didn't think you'd be joining us.

Yes. Sorry I'm late.

Just had to make a
few final adjustments.

(GLASSES CLINK)

Maybe you'd like to do the honors?

BLAKE: Who did this?

I commissioned them

after our first conversation
about the winery,

when you told me

about the hummingbird that flew by

when you were signing
to buy the property,

and how you thought
it must be a good omen.

Or the bluebells

that grow all over the vineyard,

and how Fallon used to
pick them to make bouquets

when she was a little girl,

how it was the first place
you ever drove a tractor.

(CHUCKLES): And the last.

- You remembered all that?
- Of course.

I'm sorry I ever made you feel

like I'd forgotten you in all of this.

You are the heart and soul of Blue Belt.

That's why I want to be a part of it,

because of you.

Well, I'll toast to that.

(APPLAUSE)

FALLON: There you are.

I can't believe you hung up on me.

What is the matter with you?

Shouldn't I be asking you that?

You burst into song
on the phone, Fallon.

And it really does smell weird
in here, kind of like cheese.

So I sang, okay?

I told you, music is the
purest form of expression.

- And he took the book, right?
- Yeah, he did.

Do you think he'll read it? I
mean, did he seem interested?

Should I text him? Maybe I'll text him.

Fallon, we broke into his house twice.

Okay? I'd let it breathe.

(SIGHS) For how long?

Well... I guess The Supremes were right.

Huh?

The song. You were just singing.

"You Can't Hurry Love".
It's by The Supremes.

I always thought that was Phil Collins,

but I wasn't singing.

Are you sure you're okay?

Honestly? No.

Yeah, I don't think you should be alone.

So, why don't we go downstairs? Hmm?

Where there's people and wine.

I could use a drink. (CHUCKLES)

KIRBY: Did you know

- Culhane was here?
- I did.

The Atlantix were exploring
a partnership of sorts

with the hotel after we open.

Could be a very lucrative
arrangement for La Mirage.

Oh. Of course.

'Cause money is more
important than feelings,

especially when they're mine.

I'm sorry your personal
partnership didn't work out.

But I've known him for years.

Yeah. You've known me
for a few years, too, Dad.

Doesn't seem to mean much, though.

You know, just once it'd
be nice if you chose me.

This is not about you,
Kirby. It's not even about me.

I have a responsibility to Sam

to look after the best
interests of this hotel.

If you don't like the deal,

perhaps you should take it up with him.

And I think it's probably for the best

that things didn't
work out with Michael.

What do you mean?

I mean that you and Michael
dated for all of five minutes.

If this is how you're reacting,

then obviously you still have
a lot of growing up to do.

(LIVELY CHATTER, JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

Cab or pinot?

Yes.

Uh, maybe we should pace ourselves?

Why don't we take a selfie? Mm?

Here.

- Okay, ready?
- (CAMERA CLICKS)

Oh. Adam.

There you are.

I think it all turned out
pretty well, don't you?

Thanks for holding down the fort

while I finished up those new labels.

I think your dad seemed to like them.

Everyone loves things
when they're shiny and new.

But you know my father these days.

He changes wives like
he changes companies.

I haven't known him that long actually,

but, um, then again, neither have you.

I'm his flesh and blood.

His one and only son, his heir.

SAM: (SIGHS) You look like

someone killed your dog in
every single one of these.

Fallon, there must be
something that'll cheer you up.

Come on.

There might be one little thing.

I know you stole that invitation
and made those other labels.

And I told Blake. So I wouldn't
get too cocky if I were you.

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

And I'm guessing you have no evidence

for any of these accusations.

This time.

But something tells me
it won't be the last.

You have nothing to apologize for.

You probably saved all of our lives.

If you hadn't caught that
gas leak when you did,

who knows how much
worse it would have been.

What if I can never see again?

Let's just... see what the doctor says.

I'm a doctor; I've seen
injuries like this before.

Some people...

You are not "some people".

You are my son.

No matter what happens,
I'm gonna be here.

I'm gonna take care of you.

PARAMEDIC: Time to go, Mr. Carrington.

(SIRENS WAILING)

- LIAM: Is he okay?
- FALLON: I'm sure he will be.

I can't say the same for my fireplace,

and I basically spent the entire
day hallucinating from gas,

but... none of that matters.

Because you're here.

Did you read the book?

- I read it.
- You did?

That's great. I knew
that once you read it,

you would remember what we had.

You know, you and me, not Trashley...

Fallon. You were right.

I didn't marry Ashley
because of the book.

Obviously, there's way more
to this than I can remember.

- Mm-hmm.
- And I...

I shouldn't marry anyone until
I can fill in those holes.

Or course. We can take it slow.

No. That's not what I mean.

The book didn't make me fall in love

with you again.

Or at all.

What?

Look, if I wrote that book, and
if that's how I feel about you...

The girl in that book
is selfish, callous.

I mean, she's definitely a narcissist.

Okay, okay, I get it.

I'm sorry.

I just... I think I need
to be on my own for a while.

Okay.

I saw you downstairs.

Yeah, you did.

I'd shake your hand, but... (CHUCKLES)

My dad runs the hotel,

so I wanted to come and
give you a proper welcome.

Would you like a drink?

Hey, what if something happened to her?

Or she's gone.

It wouldn't be the first time.

I could use one of those.

Where have you been?

We heard something about
some sort of explosion

- at the Carrington Manor.
- MONICA: Is everyone okay?

I asked Fallon, but she
hasn't texted me back.

It was a gas leak. Fallon's fine.

Adam Carrington got the brunt of it.

What happened?

I was planning on spoiling the wine,

but let's just say a better
opportunity came along.

Adam hurt you.

He tried to do more than that.

An eye for an eye, isn't it?

I'm gonna go freshen up.

You don't think... she...

I think she did.

VANESSA: Hello?

Vanessa? Hi, sweetheart.

Sorry to call you so late,

We are going to get everything

When?

Soon. I just need you to sit
tight a little while longer.
