Dynasty (2017–…): Season 5, Episode 13 - Do You Always Talk to Turtles - full transcript
Blake and Cristal work on the opening of PPA but not all goes as planned. Fallon goes to extreme measures to further her company. Dominique voices her concern about Jeff's new mission but he's not backing down.
It's a doctor's
office, Fallon.
Okay? I feel like you can break
your "no sweatpants
outside of the bedroom"
rule just this once.
Some rules aren't meant
to be broken,
and I canceled the appointment anyway.
You did? Why?
We don't need a sixth opinion.
I get it,
I can't have a baby.
Well, we still haven't really
talked about other options.
Honestly, I don't know if I'm
ready for that conversation yet.
I was really excited to have
a baby and to be pregnant.
Everyone's always talking about
that magical glow.
Look, on the bright side,
you won't have to deal
with the morning sickness
or the swollen ankles,
or the gingivitis.
Well, gum disease aside, I think
I just need a little time
to come to terms with it all.
Yeah. There's no rush. Okay?
Take all the time you need.
Oh.
Speaking of time, I got to go.
Maquillage de Molly & Marissa
are coming in. Yeah.
- Yeah, they are.
- You know, the big makeup conglomerate.
We've already turned a bunch of
their smaller
beauty brands green.
But now, I am thinking
they're finally ready
to trust us
- with the entire account.
- Yeah.
I assume by "green"
you mean eco-friendly?
'Cause it's not really
- a great color for skin tone.
- Hello?
My mission statement, remember?
Just because
I can't have an heir
doesn't mean
I've given up on my legacy.
I am gonna save this planet, Liam,
one vegan lip gloss at a time.
Well, sounds like
a long-term plan.
And whenever you're ready
to talk, I'll be right here.
I know. Thank you.
I'm so happy
we can rely on each other.
- From one lover to another.
- Ooh!
I love the sound of
Kenny Rogers in the morning.
Oh, Liam, "Islands
in the Stream" is all Dolly.
And as much as
I would love to stay here
and give you
a musical education,
I've got to get
to my 9:00 to 5:00.
Wow. You just can't get enough,
can you?
As much as I would love to stay
for some morning delight,
I have to get to the hospital.
Problem is,
I need to get to my room
without being spotted.
I don't think Fallon would care
if she saw you.
I mean,
she'd probably be happy
that we're...
What are we, actually?
We haven't had that conversation
yet. Are we dating?
I feel like I'm 17 again.
We like each other, right?
Seems like that to me.
Oh, you really are 17 again,
or maybe it's just
your hormones.
However,
I think we should spend
some time with each other
outside the bedroom before
we start labeling anything.
Oh, that sounds less fun.
And also maybe
outside of the manor,
because I don't really
want to bump into
my father or my brother
or my sister.
I get it.
Let's do something tomorrow, then.
It's a date.
But, in the meantime,
as long as I'm stuck in here...
Oh, well, now who's 17 again?
Ooh.
Tell me my future,
oh mystical one.
I could've sworn our future
involved some gym time,
where's your stuff?
Ooh, I'm gonna need
a rain check.
I made some different
workout plans with Sasha,
if you catch my drift.
No, please explain it to me
and definitely wink again.
So, all is well
in the land of lovebirds, then?
It's great.
We are making
some sweet music together.
In fact,
I'm asking her to move in tomorrow.
Isn't that a little soon?
I mean,
do you even know her last name?
Favorite color?
Preferred nut milk?
What adult has a favorite color?
Chartreuse.
Besides you.
And what better way
to get to know somebody
than to move in with them?
Well, she's just... right here.
Oh, my God. I love tarot.
Oh.
Read me.
Girl, with pleasure.
Concentrate on the cards.
Oh.
Queen of Wands.
What does that mean?
It's the best card.
It means I'm
a natural-born leader
- and inspire others.
- Ah.
And are super self-aware.
Oh, that is definitely you.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
Ta-ta.
Well, you've been MIA.
The NordicStar Airlines
submissions are due soon,
and while my publicist
has been getting
the Dom-Mystique name out there,
I have been working to get
my portfolio just perfect.
That explains the, uh,
billboards all over town.
Speaking of press... Mm?
I saw a blurb that
someone anonymously posted
a Plenexia drug formula online.
I can only assume
you've made some people
very unhappy
with this whole escapade.
Yes, I may have received
a threatening voice mail
from Plenexia's CEO,
but it's nothing
I can't handle.
All right? The important thing
is that justice was served.
Luna would be very proud of you.
But I am relieved
that this whole Robin Hood
business is finished,
so I can stop worrying about you
and we can both focus on me.
Who said anything was finished?
I-I'm just getting started.
There's so many others out there
who are just like Payne.
In fact, I've already found
my next target.
Michael Bradford.
The guy who owns the athletic
shoe company, SpringTime?
I have two pairs of
his leopard print high-tops.
What'd he do?
I'm keeping my shoes.
Colby Co. tried to buy
Bradford's music
software company a while ago.
Right before the deal closed,
I learned that
his employee turnover rate
was sky-high.
He fired people indiscriminately,
and he'd call employees
into his shareholder meetings
just to humiliate them.
Okay,
but what'd he do wrong now?
Uh, more of the same,
with the shoe company.
Only this time, he's not just
verbally abusing his employees,
he's cutting
into their benefits.
He has a private jet,
his wife's hidden on payroll,
and falling sales.
How else could he afford
all that?
I just need to prove it.
Jeff, honey.
Mm?
You do know that you are not
some invincible superhero,
right?
These are powerful people
you're dealing with.
Yeah, okay,
but I'm on the right side, Mom.
Hey, Batman didn't have
any superpowers, either.
Right?
Just a genius-level intellect
and some truly stellar tech.
Sound like anyone you know?
Hey!
Oh, good,
you're here.
Does Grand Marnier say
"Give us all your business"?
- Yes, but they're not coming.
- What?
- Why not?
- Molly & Marissa heard about the PPA opening
and realized
it was Blake's airport.
They're threatening to pull
their current contracts.
What the hell
does Morell have to do with PPA?
That's Blake's
non-eco-friendly company,
- not mine.
- He's your father.
And, plus,
PPA used to be yours.
It looks bad.
Well, how do we make it
look better?
I'm not sure.
Here's what we'll do.
You find a way
to get Morell to reduce
PPA's carbon emissions enough
so that
the makeup ladies love us,
and I'll try to convince my dad
that his airport needs
to be eco-friendly.
Who wouldn't want to go green?
Clearly, you don't know
Blake Carrington.
Let's maybe save one of
those bottles for him.
[indistinct announcement
over P.A.]Hmm.
You're still here.
I work here.
Where else would I be?
Well, I just thought
you'd have moved
to your new office by now,
what with the demotion
and everything.
Oh, since I'm here, I will take
that chief of staff parking pass
off your hands.
Demotion? Am I supposed to know
what you're talking about?
You think that the board is
gonna keep a chief of staff
who used the hospital to indulge
his illicit
botanical experiments?
The vote to remove you is merely
just a formality at this point.
You know, I-I did warn you
not to mess with me.
Now you're just gonna
have to pay the price.
I mean, what,
you've lost your dream job,
your miracle ingredient,
and with any luck,
your medical license.
Oh, you're delusional
if you think I'm losing my job.
Or my parking pass.
I think you're just mad
because you've run out of people
to bully, bribe, or blackmail.
But you will have a considerably
smaller office to decorate.
Hey, uh, yeah,
it's been a while.
I've been thinking about you
a lot lately.
Is this the entire
presentation?
'Cause it's doing
nothing for me.
Glad to know that sense of humor
declines with age.
Okay.
So, here's our problem.
One of Morell's clients
is threatening
to void their contract
unless PPA reduces
their carbon emissions by 20%.
I think you said "our problem"
when you meant to say
"my problem."
"My" meaning you, not me.
My problems are your problems
are our problems.
But, luckily, I have a solution
that works for everyone.
Morell doesn't only
provide clean energy these days.
We present a blueprint
to turn your whole company
eco-friendly.
So, PPA
would hire Morell to come in
and green up
your infrastructure.
Change all the
lighting to LED,
switch to
energy-saving escalators
and install a reclaimed
water delivery service.
This would not only
garner you amazing press,
but it would actually
save you money in the long run.
- This all sounds good.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's just a little
too good. What's the catch?
Well,
you would just have to, uh,
delay your airport opening
by two months
while we go in and start
to make these changes.
And before you say no... Too late. No.
Wait, no.
I had three more slides left
and a Q and A session.
I've got a
have you lost your mind?
I just spend
the last year
fighting land deals
and budget issues,
the Environmental Species
Protection Program.
And you want me to wait
while you screw in
a few fancy lightbulbs?
More than just a few.
And you wouldn't even have PPA
if it weren't for me.
We can't afford a delay, Fallon.
There are construction loans
to repay
and the airport's credibility
to consider.
And also, I don't care
about some fake hippie
Birkenstock-wearing do-gooders
who want to green my airport
to up their street cred.
Just because you're content
watching the world
go up in flames
doesn't mean everybody else is.
Okay, here's an idea.
If you can retrofit
those changes
before the opening
in 48 hours--
at a steep family discount--
I don't see why
the words "luxury service"
and "green energy"
can't coexist.
Two days? Now who's crazy?
You know what?
This meeting's adjourned.
So, what do you think of
our next contestant, Chad...
Sasha's hot-tempered
and totally reckless.
Okay, no spoilers.
I'm still on episode one.
Wh-- I'm talking about your
model friend, Sasha. Real life.
Not Fun-Boy Island or whatever
it is you're watching.
Okay.
Start over.
I need to recalibrate.
Sasha's got Culhane
wrapped around
her perfectly manicured
little finger.
I had a bad feeling
the second he told me about her,
and I ignored it.
But then I read her cards,
and I pulled the Queen of Wands.
I can't ignore it now.
My gut and the cards
can't both be wrong.
That was probably just
some bad kombucha.
Ever since you found out
Gaga has her own
personal tarot reader,
you've lost your mind.
Kirby, I'm perfectly sane.
We need to break them up.
You said it yourself,
she's a total bitch.
Well, I mean...
she does tend
to backstab other models
when it comes to jobs,
and she was really mean
to hair and makeup
at our last shoot.
Exactly.
You know who's mean
to people who work for them?
Mean people, and you told me
she dumped her boyfriend
right after he proposed
at the top of the Eiffel Tower
because she didn't
like the ring.
Yeah, and then he got
really depressed
and, like, moved to Iowa.
See? Do you think Culhane
will know the difference
between clarity versus color?
Or do you want him
to move to Iowa, too?
I don't think moving to Iowa
is a requirement
if Sasha dumps you,
but maybe your cards are right.
I mean, they did say that
romance would be in my future.
Listen, we need to save him.
He's planning on asking her
to move in tomorrow,
right after he flies her
to Nashville
to see the Clashing Flannels.
They're having lunch
at La Mirage
before they leave
in the afternoon.
We just have to figure out
a way to separate them.
Does it have to be tomorrow?
Yes. Why?
Do you have a date or something?
Hold on.
Did you say something
about romance earlier?
Uh... Yeah.
I just rewatched The Notebook.
That's one good-looking couple.
It's fine.
Um, I'll be there tomorrow.
Oh, yes, that's the spot.
Right there.
You know,
you really don't need
any of this stuff.
Have you thought about modeling?
Alexam could use
a face like yours.
Cool it, Casanova.
I don't hear from you
for months,
and suddenly you show up
offering a free refresh?
Ooh. What do you really want?
Nothing crazy,
just a little help
securing some Bokocho extract.
I know that Van Kirk Industries
has a shipping port
out of India.
Oh, is that all?
Just a little violation
of FDA regulations?
Don't let this
baby-smooth skin fool you.
- I wasn't born yesterday.
- Look.
You like my product,
and I love giving it to you.
But I can't be
your confidential
cosmetic clinician
without my secret ingredient.
A few extra crates
won't hurt anyone.
No one will notice.
Well, what is
some illegal importing
between old friends?
I can call my contact in Mumbai,
but you have to do something
for me in return.
I'm a little tired,
but, uh...
desk or couch?
It's a charming offer,
but I've already climbed
the family tree.
The Van Kirks have
an upcoming board meeting
to decide who controls VKI,
and I need Liam's vote
to secure my position.
But he's not returning
my calls.
Gosh, he's so dramatic.
All I said was that
maybe Fallon's coma was
a blessing in disguise.
How very glass-half-full of you.
I just need 15 minutes
alone with him,
and that's where you come in.
Obviously, I'd love to help,
but I'm not sure
I'm the right man for the job.
Liam doesn't exactly trust me.
Oh, that's too bad.
You know,
now that I think about it,
maybe VKI isn't the right
shipping company for you.
Great news.
The LED lighting can be
rush delivered
in the next two weeks.
You're not smiling.
Unfortunately,
Blake seems set
on killing both
the planet and my deal.
Without a show of good faith
in emission reduction,
Molly & Marissa will pull
their contract.
Look, I have been
racking my brain all night,
but I just don't think it's
possible in this time frame.
We can always outsource.
The Dodson Initiative is
the world's largest producer
of renewable jet fuel.
Blake can reduce emissions
by 70%
as soon as the paperwork
is signed.
Clearly, you want
this company to fail.
I thought this was
a good idea.
It is if you're
the VP of Dodson.
If they solve the problem,
we're just exposing
our lack of up-to-date tech.
It makes Morell
look weak.
I don't think that's true.
The saying isn't "If you want
something done right,
you have to let others do it."
It has to be Morell.
Well, then, we're gonna need
more time.
I know I have a youthful glow,
but I really am his mother.
- Jeff, have this man unhand me.
- You can ease up.
She's fine. Thank you.
Redecorating?
Ha! Something like that.
"I said you would pay.
Still want to play?"
I'm not in the mood for riddles.
That note was attached to
what's left of my painting.
I told you not to mess
with the shoe guy.
I haven't even started with
Michael Bradford and SpringTime.
This is from Richard Payne,
the CEO of Plenexia.
Well, did you call the police?
And what? Admit that I stole
his top secret intel first?
No. Besides, I assume
this makes us even.
Hey, hey, hey.
I knew retaliation was
a possibility.
Okay? I'll be prepared
if Michael Bradford
tries to strike.
Wait, you're still going
- after SpringTime?
- Absolutely.
Why? Stealing a shoe design
is more important
than your safety?
What I'm doing is
way more important
than stealing his shoe design.
I'm worried about you.
Well, don't be.
I'm just looking out
for the little guy.
I've purchased a considerable
amount of stock in SpringTime.
Their shareholder meeting
is tomorrow,
and I'm going to be
on that video call
to expose Michael Bradford
for who he really is.
It's time he had
the tables turned on him.
You said there was
something wrong with my mother?
Don't be alarmed.
She was
in a serious car accident,
and she needs
emergency surgery.
Yeah, um...
You know what? Let's...
let's save some time and money.
Skip the surgery and let her go.
Pull the plug.
Jack Liam Ridley Lowden,
I am your mother. How dare you?
It's a miracle.
I cannot believe
that I mean so little to you.
You have grown so cold.
Oh, come on. I knew this was
a setup from the beginning.
And even if I didn't, next time
that you're in an accident,
don't reapply fresh lipstick
before they put in
an oxygen tube.
Oh, and maybe
take off your heels.
This is sad, even for you.
Well, what did you
expect me to do?
You're not returning
any of my calls.
I need your help.
I had to get your attention.
And you thought this was
the best way to do that?
Your Aunt Mora is trying to
replace me as president of VKI.
But if you and your sister
would join me,
we'd have the votes
to shut her down.
Yeah, I-I think I'm gonna sit
this one out.
Would think of your future?
You may not like
the Van Kirks,
but this is still
your family business.
No, Mom, it's your business,
and VKI is not my future.
That's the only reason
I showed up here,
to tell you that.
So now... I can go.
No.
So, I did what you asked
and I got him to come.
Uh, can we talk about
my shipment now?
Well, there's nothing to talk
about until the VKI vote.
If I have no company,
you have no deal.
For the record,
I think I've proven that
I'm far more valuable to you
when I'm alive.
Alive?
What are you talking about?
Do you think I brought you
out here to kill you?
You seemed so upset about PPA,
and you did bring a large bag
for a trip to the woods.
The only thing getting
buried in this bag
is Blake's dream of
opening his airport tomorrow.
If the Environmental Species
Protection people find
any sign of an endangered
animal on these grounds,
all construction must stop.
The whole process
could take months.
And it just so happens there's
an ESPP agent on the way.
But what if they don't find
any animals?
Oh, they'll find at least one.
Meet the endangered
gopher tortoise.
There are only 567 left
in the wild.
Well, 566 at the moment.
Want to hold him?
[phone rings]
It's Sam.
I got to take this.
One sec.
Yo, what's up?
Are you at the hotel?
You need to get to the club
right now.
I'm kind of
in the middle of something.
I wouldn't ask
if I didn't have to.
Listen, two headliners
got booked tonight,
and they're both there
about to draw blood
over who goes on last.
Well, can't you go?
Where's Javier?
I'm stuck in traffic, and
they'll only talk to an owner.
It's funny
how you remember
that we're equal partners when
it comes to things like this.
It's okay. Go.
I am so sorry.
I'll be right back.
Where's he off to
in the middle of your date?
Seems kind of rude.
Work stuff.
Typical.
I am glad to be out of
that situation,
but I'm sure
you'll get used to it.
Right. You dated.
Well, I like that
he's passionate about his job.
Yeah, I mean, I did too,
at first.
But then I started to feel
like his mistress,
because he was married
to his soccer team.
That's fine.
You know me,
I'm not exactly into
being attached
at the hip anyway.
I like to go out.
Right.
Though back when
we were a couple,
I was a bit of a partier
and he was not into that at all.
I mean, he would get so mad
if I was out late
with my friends,
and late to him is 10:30 p.m.
Serious grandpa vibes.
That doesn't sound like him.
Oh, maybe he's changed.
I just feel like you should know
what you're getting
yourself into. You know,
I owe it to you as a friend.
Blake is playing with his watch.
He's clearly pissed.
Just wait
until he sees our tortoise.
Well, I don't know
what you have been told,
but I we moved every turtle,
egg, and...
God knows what else to a farm
to live out the rest of
their slow, boring lives.
First, they're tortoises,
not turtles.
Second, I can assure you,
Mr. Carrington,
they're anything but boring.
I think what my husband
is trying to say
is that all the tur...
...toises are safe and sound.
Far away.
What can we do
to help speed things along?
I need to take a look
around the property
for any tortal activity.
If what you're saying
is true,
I'll be out of your "hare"
soon enough.
Okay, it's showtime.
Here we go.
What? No.
No, no, no. What is
the stupid tortoise doing?
He's going the wrong way.
- Okay, give me your shoe.
- What?
Uh, they're limited edition.
Oh, my God.
They're not even runway.
Come on. Give it to me.
Hurry.
What was that?
Look wat we have there.
I guess you didn't get
every one.
How can you really know
that this one's endangered?
Look at him.
He looks so unworried.
Unfortunately for your airport,
his markings make it clear
that he is.
I'm Eden. We'll be seeing
a lot of each other
for the next month or two.
We are supposed to be talking,
not snogging.
Well, technically the date
hasn't started yet.
Are we going camping
or something?
No, I thought
we'd go on a picnic.
I mean,
that's what normal people do
who already
don't live together, right?
Well, that depends
how you define normal.
Amanda? Is that you?
Would you come here, please?
Stay here, okay?
I'll get rid of him.
Hey.
Um, sorry.
I'm actually in a bit of a rush.
I need to get to work,
you know how it is, the old, uh,
um, ball and chain.
Yeah, you know,
I do know how it is.
That's-that's why
I need your help with PPA.
Oh, wish I could,
but these malpractice suits,
they just won't
defend themselves.
My airport is getting shut down
because of one stupid,
supposedly endangered turtle.
I wouldn't ask
if it wasn't an emergency.
Well, I just don't really
know that much
about environmental law.
You're a Carrington,
you're smarter than
anyone I have on payroll.
This airport means everything
to me.
Sure, yeah. Uh...
We'll discuss it.
I'll make some calls.
Great, everything's
in my office.
I know you're disappointed
in Liam's reaction,
which is why
I am here to offer you
ten percent of Alexam's profits
if you can work
this shipping deal.
I don't need money.
Laura, darling,
what do I need to give you
to make this happen?
Just name it.
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm
making a deal with the devil?
Can you grant me immortality?
Well, everlasting youth is
my bread and butter.
How about I offer you
a standing appointment
of free injections for a year.
For the use of my ships
and my contacts,
make it my own
personal lifetime supply.
No, that's insane.
How about, uh,
I offer you house calls?
Personal service.
Nope.
Everything upfront or nothing.
I'd like to say I trust you,
but you're a Carrington.
Lying is your dominant gene.
If I let you self-administer,
I'd be jeopardizing
my medical license.
Not to mention
I only have
fewer than ten left.
I need more extract.
I'll take everything
you have on hand
and the rest
when you're back in production.
And I know how to
handle injectables.
I've been getting maintenance
since before you were born.
- Fine, we have a deal.
- Ah.
If I can't have my son
in my life,
at least I'll look
too young to have one.
It's not you Liam's mad at.
Fallon just found out
she can't carry a baby,
and they're taking it
pretty hard.
He just needs some time.
You're screwed.
Oh, is that
your official legal opinion?
Look, the ESPP has opened an
investigation of the property.
It could take up to 12 weeks.
This will cripple us.
Our loans are due
in half that time.
And you're also being charged
with reckless endangerment
for not handling
the problem
before the construction started.
Then this is nonsense.
Cristal oversaw the transfer herself.
Everything was handled
safely and completely.
Everything except for
one slow reptile.
Something doesn't feel right.
I've never seen so much
as a snake in that grass.
Hey, I didn't realize we were
having a family meeting.
What are we discussing?
The airport opening is off.
The plant-eating,
tree-hugging
environmental protection agent
shut us down.
Some endangered species crap.
I'm sorry, I was just about
to tell you that
my team was ready
with the LED lighting,
but we'll hold off
until you're ready.
I don't want to stress you out
even more.
And I'll put a call
into a judge,
see if I can get this expedited.
Just when you think you're safe,
a tornado hits.
Well, let's hope
this is the last one.
Morell will make sure
to stormproof.
You guys are family.
PPA is my first priority.
- That's kind of you, Fallon.
- God.
Who knew one little turtle
could cause such a stir?
Keep me posted on everything.
So, is it congrats
or condolences?
After I handled
the battle of the bands,
I spoke to the events team
to see how such a big mistake happened.
Marie said she warned you,
but you didn't listen.
She must've misunderstood me.
I said wanted two rock bands
on back-to-back nights,
not two back-to-back rock bands
on one night.
And then I opened Snapchat,
and I saw that your Bitmoji was
at the manor when you were
supposedly in your car.
- Do people still use that app?
- Okay, that is enough.
- Agreed, let's have a drink.
- No.
I meant enough lying.
Kirby just happened to be
at the restaurant
during the time I was gone
and badmouthed me to Sasha.
I couldn't ask her
to move in with me,
because, when I got back,
she left.
Well, Kirby can be a real bitch.
I know Kirby did not
do this alone, Sam.
Okay, fine.
I can be a bitch, too,
but only when it's needed.
The Queen of Wands isn't
a great card.
It means she'll bring chaos
into your life.
I tried to think
reasonably about this,
but look at what
she did to her ex.
And remember all those things
Charlie said about her?
Plus,
she almost ruined your movie
with a single Insta post.
That guy was a jerk,
the photo was a mistake,
and people change.
I'm trying to protect you.
- I'm being a good friend here.
- Really?
It doesn't feel like it.
So, go ahead and keep
your UNO! cards
and your crystal ball
away from us.
Ah.
What took you so long?
Didn't take me long at all.
Just a few minutes, actually.
It's a little late
for some stepmother bonding,
don't you think? Or are you here
to read me a bedtime story?
Yeah, ever hear of the tortoise
and the air... port?
I much prefer the one
with the seven little maids.
Speaking of which,
can you please ask Jeanette
to bring me my sleeping mask?
Ask her yourself.
I know what you did, Fallon.
You sabotaged the opening.
You sound crazy.
Or wait, is this
the impostor Cristal again?
You said "one little turtle,"
but no one in there
said a word about turtles.
Or how many there were.
Are you sure it wasn't
an impostor Fallon?
This is a limited-time offer.
Call the ESPP
and tell them this was a hoax,
or I will make sure
that Blake knows everything.
Morell won't be
the only thing you lose.
I know how much
his trust means to you.
Wow, looks like that lady boss
seminar really worked miracles.
Have I made myself clear?
Crystal.
This project has experienced
quite a bit of turbulence.
But from now on,
it'll be nothing
but blue skies ahead.
Now, if you indulge me,
just for a moment,
I need to thank my partner,
both in business and in life,
my wife Cristal.
She and my daughter Amanda
are the reason
we are celebrating today
and not three months from now.
I would also like to thank
the man who inspired me
to pursue this dream.
I only wish that
he was here today
to witness its unveiling,
but I am sure that
he is watching from up above.
Welcome to the Joseph Anders
Memorial Airport.
Okay. I understand.
Thank you.
Sorry if you felt
left out of the speech,
but I figured
Blake's gratitude for you
fixing this
would be outweighed by
his anger for you causing this.
You're probably right.
You want to help me out?
Can you find me
another multi-million-dollar
makeup company
that wants to go green?
Because Molly & Marissa
are leaving.
I wish I could,
but I'm sure
you'll figure something out.
You always do.
What are you doing?
The shareholder meeting's
just about to start.
Oh, I'm aware.
What are you doing?
Taking down a villain
and serving justice.
At least I was about to
before you stopped me.
Enough with the comic book talk.
Have you thought about
what will happen to SpringTime
if you get on that call
and expose their CEO?
What if the scandal
you're about to cause
shuts down the company?
Well, I suppose that's the price
Michael Bradford will
have to pay.
If he's as sleazy a CEO
as you say,
it's a price he could afford.
But what about everyone else?
500 people
could lose their benefits
and their jobs.
They're working for a monster.
Okay? I'm saving them.
I know your intentions are good,
but this isn't
the way to make a difference.
Destroying the villain doesn't
always make you the hero.
So what am I supposed to do?
Just let him get away with this?
I think you can do more good
by helping than harming.
The Jeff I know
is a builder, an inventor.
Let me put it
in terms you'll understand.
This is a job for Bruce Wayne,
not Batman.
I know we're technically
out of the bedroom,
but this isn't exactly
the date I had in mind.
Oh, you're hard to please.
Champagne, charcuterie,
fancy dresses.
What more could a girl want?
I don't know,
about 150 fewer people?
You know, you'd think
for a private airport
they'd have
a little bit more privacy.
I have an idea.
Come with me.
It's a duet.
Aren't they equally important?
Isn't that the point of a duet?
Dolly Parton has
her own theme park.
Kenny Rogers has
a few chicken restaurants.
Well, he's actually not alive
anymore, but I get your point.
What? Kenny Rogers is dead?
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
I'm just finding out about this.
When did this happen?
No, that wasn't about Kenny.
It was about
my mother being here.
LVK's here?
Don't let Cristal see.
I just hope she doesn't see me.
I-I can't sit through
another lecture
on how I'm not thinking about
the family business.
I take it she doesn't know about
your adventures in baby-making?
No, and I'd like to keep it
that way, so lower your voice.
I mean, she is your mother.
Maybe she's just
looking out for you?
Yeah. I know, I heard it.
You know, she claims
it's about what's best for me,
as long as it's really
what's best for her.
It's all about what she wants
for her own personal agenda.
Hmm.
See if you can come up
with a list
of 20 companies who are dying
to go eco-friendly.
Okay? And, Kelly, make sure
they have deep pockets.
Thank you.
Great.
It's the mother-in-law.
So, I see that
two weeks of "beauty rest"
didn't do much good.
I think you called it a coma?
What are you doing here, Laura?
You know what I love about you,
Fallon?
My father and my brother?
It's that you're always
proving me right.
I knew you were useless.
But you can't even
get pregnant now?
- Excuse me?
- Don't worry, dear.
It's probably best
you don't have children.
You haven't got
the maternal instinct.
You wouldn't know
maternal instinct
if it bit you in the ass.
You're denying your husband
a family.
And, meanwhile,
I've got a list of Georgia debs
just ready and anxious
to get the job done.
If you really loved Liam,
you'd just step aside.
Give it up, you old gank.
Your attempts
to break us up are
as futile as your attempt
to look younger.
Well, I don't have to attempt
anything this time,
'cause you did
all the work for me,
you barren bitch.
You...
Don't you dare touch my wife.
You're taking her side?
The woman that just
violently accosted your mother?
Liam, she is unhinged!
No! She's just had
enough of your crap.
And so have I.
Giving birth doesn't
make someone a mother, Laura.
You're living proof of that.
I am done.
I am calling my lawyer
in the morning,
and I'm having him cut you
out of my will and my life.
You know what?
Why not today? Need a ride?
I don't want to
see either of you
ever again.
Can we get that in writing?
I'm so sorry, Fallon,
that you're such a failure.
You always have been.
And you always will be.
Why did we just do that?
We're supposed to be
learning about each other,
not joining the...
not-exactly-a-mile-high club.
Well, I did learn what
you sound like at full volume.
Okay. Enough of that.
Let's get down
to business, okay?
Oat or almond milk?
- Oat.
- Mm.
Welcome aboard, Dan.
My pleasure, Blake.
Oh, my God.
I'm thrilled to take you
on the inaugural flight
out of the new airport.
Can't wait.
Come on up to the cockpit.
Now what?
Now we have plenty of time
to get to know each other,
right?
I need to say I'm sorry
times, like, 1,000.
I do stand
by the fact
that I was trying
to protect you.
I'm sure you do.
But that was only,
like, ten percent of it.
So, was the other 90%
just that you hated Sasha?
No. It had nothing to do
with her.
I was just panicking that our
friendship was slipping away.
I mean, you spend
all your free time with Sasha,
and all we talk about is work.
I just feel like
we're business partners
and that's it.
- That is not true.
- Well, that's how it feels.
You went from your movie
with Liam right to Sasha.
I don't know, I guess
I just miss the old times.
You know, like, charity tennis
and designing
the new club.
- Electrocuting contractors.
- Okay.
I promise no more
missed gym days.
And it's okay if there are.
Maybe you can even
bring Sasha,
and we can make it
like a fitness class.
Actually,
I'd rather not,
considering that
Ms. Sasha dumped me.
No. No, no, no, no, no.
This is totally my fault.
I'll call her right now
and I'll explain.
What's her number?
This had nothing to do
with you or Kirby.
I guess I missed the memo
that we were seeing
other people,
which is a problem
when you want someone
to move in.
Well, that's her loss
and your gain.
Because Mrs. Culhane
is out there somewhere,
and you'll meet her
when you least expect it.
Good, 'cause I am
no longer expecting it.
So, should we hit the gym now?
Actually,
I'd rather hit the tequila.
Would you like to join?
I think I can help with that.
So, I made a call
to the head of
the Dodson Initiative,
and PPA's green problem
is now taken care of.
With the cost covered 100%
by Morell.
PPA never had a green problem.
You did.
You know that this is
what's best for your company
in the long run.
I just sped up your timetable.
And you know this is best
for both of our companies.
I assume the beauty brand is
back with you?
If this always could've
solved everything,
why did you need to bother
with the turtle games?
I just couldn't be a failure
twice in one week.
Twice?
When we found out
that I can't have a baby...
...I just felt
like my body had failed me.
And I felt that
maybe I had failed Liam, too.
But you know that's not true.
Yeah, logically, yes, but...
emotionally...
I just...
I always thought that I would be
able to carry my own baby.
You know, that I would be able
to have that bond
and that connection.
Unfortunately,
I know exactly how you feel.
What happened to each of us
isn't fair.
Life isn't fair,
but you are definitely
not a failure.
Do you still wish that
you would've had a baby?
I try not to think about
what I can't have anymore.
And I found
a different kind of fulfillment.
So will you.
You're allowed to ask for help
if you need it.
You don't have to do this alone.
Thank you, Cristal.
And Morell doesn't need
to cover PPA's cost.
I admire your drive to leave
this world a better place.
So, you'll cover it, then?
Well, 50%.
I still have to deal
with your father.
What are we celebrating?
The fact that you were right.
Humiliation was
not the way
to take Michael Bradford down.
So, what did you do?
I got him the easy way.
I bought a lot more stock,
enough to control the company,
and then I fired his ass.
And you're okay with letting him
get away with his crimes?
Oh, no. I'm sending
my findings to the IRS.
Michael will not be running
another company any time soon,
and he can kiss
that private jet goodbye.
And probably his wife, too.
I'm proud of you.
It's easy to get lost
in revenge.
Hmm.
Maybe Dom-Mystique can do
a shoe collab in the future.
Let's put a pin
in that for now.
Look, I have been trying
to fill a void,
and I realized
what I've really
been missing is me.
I spent years
working on Colby Co.,
and then I just let it crumble
with a little help
from neurotoxicity.
You're young.
Life is a marathon,
not a sprint.
Exactly.
And now, I finally know
which direction I'm running.
It is time to rebuild myself,
my company and my legacy.
Cheers.
I am so sorry
for what my mother said.
She deserved a lot more
than a slap in the face.
Well, she'll get what she's owed eventually.
And as much as I love you
for checking in on me,
sometimes I forget to see
how you're doing.
Oh, Fallon, I'm fine.
Okay? I just want
to be here for you.
And I appreciate that,
but I'm not the only one
going through this.
We're a team.
Look, it does hurt,
you know, to imagine
not starting a family with you.
Well, that's I wanted
to talk to you about.
How do you feel...
about surrogacy?
I just want to have a baby
with you.
Okay? I don't care
how he or she gets here.
You're okay with this?
Yeah.
I mean, our lives have
never gone as planned.
We got married in
my high school theater
where a guy held me
at knifepoint
and accused me of
killing his sister,
so I feel like surrogacy will be
a piece of cake.
Yeah, we never did get
our wedding pictures, did we?
It's weird.
Growing up as a Carrington,
asked for help was always seen
as a sign of weakness,
and then later used against you.
And I really want
to break that cycle.
So, we're doing this?
- We're having a baby?
- We're having a baby.
I've waited all day.
I held up my end of the deal.
I am a woman of my word.
That email is drafted,
and I just need to hit "send."
But, in the meantime,
why don't we
make ourselves
a little more comfortable.
Uh... No, I-I'd prefer
to celebrate after.
Oh, we will.
Before...
- ...and after.
- Wait, wait, how many of those injections
did you give yourself?
D-Do you know what they can do?
Don't worry.
I am very in tune
with what my body's
capable of handling.
Wh-Whoa!
Apparently your body is
not used to walking.
All right.
Up we go.
This is exactly why I wanted
you to send that email first!
Oh, come on.
Unlock.
Yep. Yes.
I couldn't have done this
without you.
Captioning sponsored by CBS
office, Fallon.
Okay? I feel like you can break
your "no sweatpants
outside of the bedroom"
rule just this once.
Some rules aren't meant
to be broken,
and I canceled the appointment anyway.
You did? Why?
We don't need a sixth opinion.
I get it,
I can't have a baby.
Well, we still haven't really
talked about other options.
Honestly, I don't know if I'm
ready for that conversation yet.
I was really excited to have
a baby and to be pregnant.
Everyone's always talking about
that magical glow.
Look, on the bright side,
you won't have to deal
with the morning sickness
or the swollen ankles,
or the gingivitis.
Well, gum disease aside, I think
I just need a little time
to come to terms with it all.
Yeah. There's no rush. Okay?
Take all the time you need.
Oh.
Speaking of time, I got to go.
Maquillage de Molly & Marissa
are coming in. Yeah.
- Yeah, they are.
- You know, the big makeup conglomerate.
We've already turned a bunch of
their smaller
beauty brands green.
But now, I am thinking
they're finally ready
to trust us
- with the entire account.
- Yeah.
I assume by "green"
you mean eco-friendly?
'Cause it's not really
- a great color for skin tone.
- Hello?
My mission statement, remember?
Just because
I can't have an heir
doesn't mean
I've given up on my legacy.
I am gonna save this planet, Liam,
one vegan lip gloss at a time.
Well, sounds like
a long-term plan.
And whenever you're ready
to talk, I'll be right here.
I know. Thank you.
I'm so happy
we can rely on each other.
- From one lover to another.
- Ooh!
I love the sound of
Kenny Rogers in the morning.
Oh, Liam, "Islands
in the Stream" is all Dolly.
And as much as
I would love to stay here
and give you
a musical education,
I've got to get
to my 9:00 to 5:00.
Wow. You just can't get enough,
can you?
As much as I would love to stay
for some morning delight,
I have to get to the hospital.
Problem is,
I need to get to my room
without being spotted.
I don't think Fallon would care
if she saw you.
I mean,
she'd probably be happy
that we're...
What are we, actually?
We haven't had that conversation
yet. Are we dating?
I feel like I'm 17 again.
We like each other, right?
Seems like that to me.
Oh, you really are 17 again,
or maybe it's just
your hormones.
However,
I think we should spend
some time with each other
outside the bedroom before
we start labeling anything.
Oh, that sounds less fun.
And also maybe
outside of the manor,
because I don't really
want to bump into
my father or my brother
or my sister.
I get it.
Let's do something tomorrow, then.
It's a date.
But, in the meantime,
as long as I'm stuck in here...
Oh, well, now who's 17 again?
Ooh.
Tell me my future,
oh mystical one.
I could've sworn our future
involved some gym time,
where's your stuff?
Ooh, I'm gonna need
a rain check.
I made some different
workout plans with Sasha,
if you catch my drift.
No, please explain it to me
and definitely wink again.
So, all is well
in the land of lovebirds, then?
It's great.
We are making
some sweet music together.
In fact,
I'm asking her to move in tomorrow.
Isn't that a little soon?
I mean,
do you even know her last name?
Favorite color?
Preferred nut milk?
What adult has a favorite color?
Chartreuse.
Besides you.
And what better way
to get to know somebody
than to move in with them?
Well, she's just... right here.
Oh, my God. I love tarot.
Oh.
Read me.
Girl, with pleasure.
Concentrate on the cards.
Oh.
Queen of Wands.
What does that mean?
It's the best card.
It means I'm
a natural-born leader
- and inspire others.
- Ah.
And are super self-aware.
Oh, that is definitely you.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
Ta-ta.
Well, you've been MIA.
The NordicStar Airlines
submissions are due soon,
and while my publicist
has been getting
the Dom-Mystique name out there,
I have been working to get
my portfolio just perfect.
That explains the, uh,
billboards all over town.
Speaking of press... Mm?
I saw a blurb that
someone anonymously posted
a Plenexia drug formula online.
I can only assume
you've made some people
very unhappy
with this whole escapade.
Yes, I may have received
a threatening voice mail
from Plenexia's CEO,
but it's nothing
I can't handle.
All right? The important thing
is that justice was served.
Luna would be very proud of you.
But I am relieved
that this whole Robin Hood
business is finished,
so I can stop worrying about you
and we can both focus on me.
Who said anything was finished?
I-I'm just getting started.
There's so many others out there
who are just like Payne.
In fact, I've already found
my next target.
Michael Bradford.
The guy who owns the athletic
shoe company, SpringTime?
I have two pairs of
his leopard print high-tops.
What'd he do?
I'm keeping my shoes.
Colby Co. tried to buy
Bradford's music
software company a while ago.
Right before the deal closed,
I learned that
his employee turnover rate
was sky-high.
He fired people indiscriminately,
and he'd call employees
into his shareholder meetings
just to humiliate them.
Okay,
but what'd he do wrong now?
Uh, more of the same,
with the shoe company.
Only this time, he's not just
verbally abusing his employees,
he's cutting
into their benefits.
He has a private jet,
his wife's hidden on payroll,
and falling sales.
How else could he afford
all that?
I just need to prove it.
Jeff, honey.
Mm?
You do know that you are not
some invincible superhero,
right?
These are powerful people
you're dealing with.
Yeah, okay,
but I'm on the right side, Mom.
Hey, Batman didn't have
any superpowers, either.
Right?
Just a genius-level intellect
and some truly stellar tech.
Sound like anyone you know?
Hey!
Oh, good,
you're here.
Does Grand Marnier say
"Give us all your business"?
- Yes, but they're not coming.
- What?
- Why not?
- Molly & Marissa heard about the PPA opening
and realized
it was Blake's airport.
They're threatening to pull
their current contracts.
What the hell
does Morell have to do with PPA?
That's Blake's
non-eco-friendly company,
- not mine.
- He's your father.
And, plus,
PPA used to be yours.
It looks bad.
Well, how do we make it
look better?
I'm not sure.
Here's what we'll do.
You find a way
to get Morell to reduce
PPA's carbon emissions enough
so that
the makeup ladies love us,
and I'll try to convince my dad
that his airport needs
to be eco-friendly.
Who wouldn't want to go green?
Clearly, you don't know
Blake Carrington.
Let's maybe save one of
those bottles for him.
[indistinct announcement
over P.A.]Hmm.
You're still here.
I work here.
Where else would I be?
Well, I just thought
you'd have moved
to your new office by now,
what with the demotion
and everything.
Oh, since I'm here, I will take
that chief of staff parking pass
off your hands.
Demotion? Am I supposed to know
what you're talking about?
You think that the board is
gonna keep a chief of staff
who used the hospital to indulge
his illicit
botanical experiments?
The vote to remove you is merely
just a formality at this point.
You know, I-I did warn you
not to mess with me.
Now you're just gonna
have to pay the price.
I mean, what,
you've lost your dream job,
your miracle ingredient,
and with any luck,
your medical license.
Oh, you're delusional
if you think I'm losing my job.
Or my parking pass.
I think you're just mad
because you've run out of people
to bully, bribe, or blackmail.
But you will have a considerably
smaller office to decorate.
Hey, uh, yeah,
it's been a while.
I've been thinking about you
a lot lately.
Is this the entire
presentation?
'Cause it's doing
nothing for me.
Glad to know that sense of humor
declines with age.
Okay.
So, here's our problem.
One of Morell's clients
is threatening
to void their contract
unless PPA reduces
their carbon emissions by 20%.
I think you said "our problem"
when you meant to say
"my problem."
"My" meaning you, not me.
My problems are your problems
are our problems.
But, luckily, I have a solution
that works for everyone.
Morell doesn't only
provide clean energy these days.
We present a blueprint
to turn your whole company
eco-friendly.
So, PPA
would hire Morell to come in
and green up
your infrastructure.
Change all the
lighting to LED,
switch to
energy-saving escalators
and install a reclaimed
water delivery service.
This would not only
garner you amazing press,
but it would actually
save you money in the long run.
- This all sounds good.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it's just a little
too good. What's the catch?
Well,
you would just have to, uh,
delay your airport opening
by two months
while we go in and start
to make these changes.
And before you say no... Too late. No.
Wait, no.
I had three more slides left
and a Q and A session.
I've got a
have you lost your mind?
I just spend
the last year
fighting land deals
and budget issues,
the Environmental Species
Protection Program.
And you want me to wait
while you screw in
a few fancy lightbulbs?
More than just a few.
And you wouldn't even have PPA
if it weren't for me.
We can't afford a delay, Fallon.
There are construction loans
to repay
and the airport's credibility
to consider.
And also, I don't care
about some fake hippie
Birkenstock-wearing do-gooders
who want to green my airport
to up their street cred.
Just because you're content
watching the world
go up in flames
doesn't mean everybody else is.
Okay, here's an idea.
If you can retrofit
those changes
before the opening
in 48 hours--
at a steep family discount--
I don't see why
the words "luxury service"
and "green energy"
can't coexist.
Two days? Now who's crazy?
You know what?
This meeting's adjourned.
So, what do you think of
our next contestant, Chad...
Sasha's hot-tempered
and totally reckless.
Okay, no spoilers.
I'm still on episode one.
Wh-- I'm talking about your
model friend, Sasha. Real life.
Not Fun-Boy Island or whatever
it is you're watching.
Okay.
Start over.
I need to recalibrate.
Sasha's got Culhane
wrapped around
her perfectly manicured
little finger.
I had a bad feeling
the second he told me about her,
and I ignored it.
But then I read her cards,
and I pulled the Queen of Wands.
I can't ignore it now.
My gut and the cards
can't both be wrong.
That was probably just
some bad kombucha.
Ever since you found out
Gaga has her own
personal tarot reader,
you've lost your mind.
Kirby, I'm perfectly sane.
We need to break them up.
You said it yourself,
she's a total bitch.
Well, I mean...
she does tend
to backstab other models
when it comes to jobs,
and she was really mean
to hair and makeup
at our last shoot.
Exactly.
You know who's mean
to people who work for them?
Mean people, and you told me
she dumped her boyfriend
right after he proposed
at the top of the Eiffel Tower
because she didn't
like the ring.
Yeah, and then he got
really depressed
and, like, moved to Iowa.
See? Do you think Culhane
will know the difference
between clarity versus color?
Or do you want him
to move to Iowa, too?
I don't think moving to Iowa
is a requirement
if Sasha dumps you,
but maybe your cards are right.
I mean, they did say that
romance would be in my future.
Listen, we need to save him.
He's planning on asking her
to move in tomorrow,
right after he flies her
to Nashville
to see the Clashing Flannels.
They're having lunch
at La Mirage
before they leave
in the afternoon.
We just have to figure out
a way to separate them.
Does it have to be tomorrow?
Yes. Why?
Do you have a date or something?
Hold on.
Did you say something
about romance earlier?
Uh... Yeah.
I just rewatched The Notebook.
That's one good-looking couple.
It's fine.
Um, I'll be there tomorrow.
Oh, yes, that's the spot.
Right there.
You know,
you really don't need
any of this stuff.
Have you thought about modeling?
Alexam could use
a face like yours.
Cool it, Casanova.
I don't hear from you
for months,
and suddenly you show up
offering a free refresh?
Ooh. What do you really want?
Nothing crazy,
just a little help
securing some Bokocho extract.
I know that Van Kirk Industries
has a shipping port
out of India.
Oh, is that all?
Just a little violation
of FDA regulations?
Don't let this
baby-smooth skin fool you.
- I wasn't born yesterday.
- Look.
You like my product,
and I love giving it to you.
But I can't be
your confidential
cosmetic clinician
without my secret ingredient.
A few extra crates
won't hurt anyone.
No one will notice.
Well, what is
some illegal importing
between old friends?
I can call my contact in Mumbai,
but you have to do something
for me in return.
I'm a little tired,
but, uh...
desk or couch?
It's a charming offer,
but I've already climbed
the family tree.
The Van Kirks have
an upcoming board meeting
to decide who controls VKI,
and I need Liam's vote
to secure my position.
But he's not returning
my calls.
Gosh, he's so dramatic.
All I said was that
maybe Fallon's coma was
a blessing in disguise.
How very glass-half-full of you.
I just need 15 minutes
alone with him,
and that's where you come in.
Obviously, I'd love to help,
but I'm not sure
I'm the right man for the job.
Liam doesn't exactly trust me.
Oh, that's too bad.
You know,
now that I think about it,
maybe VKI isn't the right
shipping company for you.
Great news.
The LED lighting can be
rush delivered
in the next two weeks.
You're not smiling.
Unfortunately,
Blake seems set
on killing both
the planet and my deal.
Without a show of good faith
in emission reduction,
Molly & Marissa will pull
their contract.
Look, I have been
racking my brain all night,
but I just don't think it's
possible in this time frame.
We can always outsource.
The Dodson Initiative is
the world's largest producer
of renewable jet fuel.
Blake can reduce emissions
by 70%
as soon as the paperwork
is signed.
Clearly, you want
this company to fail.
I thought this was
a good idea.
It is if you're
the VP of Dodson.
If they solve the problem,
we're just exposing
our lack of up-to-date tech.
It makes Morell
look weak.
I don't think that's true.
The saying isn't "If you want
something done right,
you have to let others do it."
It has to be Morell.
Well, then, we're gonna need
more time.
I know I have a youthful glow,
but I really am his mother.
- Jeff, have this man unhand me.
- You can ease up.
She's fine. Thank you.
Redecorating?
Ha! Something like that.
"I said you would pay.
Still want to play?"
I'm not in the mood for riddles.
That note was attached to
what's left of my painting.
I told you not to mess
with the shoe guy.
I haven't even started with
Michael Bradford and SpringTime.
This is from Richard Payne,
the CEO of Plenexia.
Well, did you call the police?
And what? Admit that I stole
his top secret intel first?
No. Besides, I assume
this makes us even.
Hey, hey, hey.
I knew retaliation was
a possibility.
Okay? I'll be prepared
if Michael Bradford
tries to strike.
Wait, you're still going
- after SpringTime?
- Absolutely.
Why? Stealing a shoe design
is more important
than your safety?
What I'm doing is
way more important
than stealing his shoe design.
I'm worried about you.
Well, don't be.
I'm just looking out
for the little guy.
I've purchased a considerable
amount of stock in SpringTime.
Their shareholder meeting
is tomorrow,
and I'm going to be
on that video call
to expose Michael Bradford
for who he really is.
It's time he had
the tables turned on him.
You said there was
something wrong with my mother?
Don't be alarmed.
She was
in a serious car accident,
and she needs
emergency surgery.
Yeah, um...
You know what? Let's...
let's save some time and money.
Skip the surgery and let her go.
Pull the plug.
Jack Liam Ridley Lowden,
I am your mother. How dare you?
It's a miracle.
I cannot believe
that I mean so little to you.
You have grown so cold.
Oh, come on. I knew this was
a setup from the beginning.
And even if I didn't, next time
that you're in an accident,
don't reapply fresh lipstick
before they put in
an oxygen tube.
Oh, and maybe
take off your heels.
This is sad, even for you.
Well, what did you
expect me to do?
You're not returning
any of my calls.
I need your help.
I had to get your attention.
And you thought this was
the best way to do that?
Your Aunt Mora is trying to
replace me as president of VKI.
But if you and your sister
would join me,
we'd have the votes
to shut her down.
Yeah, I-I think I'm gonna sit
this one out.
Would think of your future?
You may not like
the Van Kirks,
but this is still
your family business.
No, Mom, it's your business,
and VKI is not my future.
That's the only reason
I showed up here,
to tell you that.
So now... I can go.
No.
So, I did what you asked
and I got him to come.
Uh, can we talk about
my shipment now?
Well, there's nothing to talk
about until the VKI vote.
If I have no company,
you have no deal.
For the record,
I think I've proven that
I'm far more valuable to you
when I'm alive.
Alive?
What are you talking about?
Do you think I brought you
out here to kill you?
You seemed so upset about PPA,
and you did bring a large bag
for a trip to the woods.
The only thing getting
buried in this bag
is Blake's dream of
opening his airport tomorrow.
If the Environmental Species
Protection people find
any sign of an endangered
animal on these grounds,
all construction must stop.
The whole process
could take months.
And it just so happens there's
an ESPP agent on the way.
But what if they don't find
any animals?
Oh, they'll find at least one.
Meet the endangered
gopher tortoise.
There are only 567 left
in the wild.
Well, 566 at the moment.
Want to hold him?
[phone rings]
It's Sam.
I got to take this.
One sec.
Yo, what's up?
Are you at the hotel?
You need to get to the club
right now.
I'm kind of
in the middle of something.
I wouldn't ask
if I didn't have to.
Listen, two headliners
got booked tonight,
and they're both there
about to draw blood
over who goes on last.
Well, can't you go?
Where's Javier?
I'm stuck in traffic, and
they'll only talk to an owner.
It's funny
how you remember
that we're equal partners when
it comes to things like this.
It's okay. Go.
I am so sorry.
I'll be right back.
Where's he off to
in the middle of your date?
Seems kind of rude.
Work stuff.
Typical.
I am glad to be out of
that situation,
but I'm sure
you'll get used to it.
Right. You dated.
Well, I like that
he's passionate about his job.
Yeah, I mean, I did too,
at first.
But then I started to feel
like his mistress,
because he was married
to his soccer team.
That's fine.
You know me,
I'm not exactly into
being attached
at the hip anyway.
I like to go out.
Right.
Though back when
we were a couple,
I was a bit of a partier
and he was not into that at all.
I mean, he would get so mad
if I was out late
with my friends,
and late to him is 10:30 p.m.
Serious grandpa vibes.
That doesn't sound like him.
Oh, maybe he's changed.
I just feel like you should know
what you're getting
yourself into. You know,
I owe it to you as a friend.
Blake is playing with his watch.
He's clearly pissed.
Just wait
until he sees our tortoise.
Well, I don't know
what you have been told,
but I we moved every turtle,
egg, and...
God knows what else to a farm
to live out the rest of
their slow, boring lives.
First, they're tortoises,
not turtles.
Second, I can assure you,
Mr. Carrington,
they're anything but boring.
I think what my husband
is trying to say
is that all the tur...
...toises are safe and sound.
Far away.
What can we do
to help speed things along?
I need to take a look
around the property
for any tortal activity.
If what you're saying
is true,
I'll be out of your "hare"
soon enough.
Okay, it's showtime.
Here we go.
What? No.
No, no, no. What is
the stupid tortoise doing?
He's going the wrong way.
- Okay, give me your shoe.
- What?
Uh, they're limited edition.
Oh, my God.
They're not even runway.
Come on. Give it to me.
Hurry.
What was that?
Look wat we have there.
I guess you didn't get
every one.
How can you really know
that this one's endangered?
Look at him.
He looks so unworried.
Unfortunately for your airport,
his markings make it clear
that he is.
I'm Eden. We'll be seeing
a lot of each other
for the next month or two.
We are supposed to be talking,
not snogging.
Well, technically the date
hasn't started yet.
Are we going camping
or something?
No, I thought
we'd go on a picnic.
I mean,
that's what normal people do
who already
don't live together, right?
Well, that depends
how you define normal.
Amanda? Is that you?
Would you come here, please?
Stay here, okay?
I'll get rid of him.
Hey.
Um, sorry.
I'm actually in a bit of a rush.
I need to get to work,
you know how it is, the old, uh,
um, ball and chain.
Yeah, you know,
I do know how it is.
That's-that's why
I need your help with PPA.
Oh, wish I could,
but these malpractice suits,
they just won't
defend themselves.
My airport is getting shut down
because of one stupid,
supposedly endangered turtle.
I wouldn't ask
if it wasn't an emergency.
Well, I just don't really
know that much
about environmental law.
You're a Carrington,
you're smarter than
anyone I have on payroll.
This airport means everything
to me.
Sure, yeah. Uh...
We'll discuss it.
I'll make some calls.
Great, everything's
in my office.
I know you're disappointed
in Liam's reaction,
which is why
I am here to offer you
ten percent of Alexam's profits
if you can work
this shipping deal.
I don't need money.
Laura, darling,
what do I need to give you
to make this happen?
Just name it.
Why do I suddenly feel like I'm
making a deal with the devil?
Can you grant me immortality?
Well, everlasting youth is
my bread and butter.
How about I offer you
a standing appointment
of free injections for a year.
For the use of my ships
and my contacts,
make it my own
personal lifetime supply.
No, that's insane.
How about, uh,
I offer you house calls?
Personal service.
Nope.
Everything upfront or nothing.
I'd like to say I trust you,
but you're a Carrington.
Lying is your dominant gene.
If I let you self-administer,
I'd be jeopardizing
my medical license.
Not to mention
I only have
fewer than ten left.
I need more extract.
I'll take everything
you have on hand
and the rest
when you're back in production.
And I know how to
handle injectables.
I've been getting maintenance
since before you were born.
- Fine, we have a deal.
- Ah.
If I can't have my son
in my life,
at least I'll look
too young to have one.
It's not you Liam's mad at.
Fallon just found out
she can't carry a baby,
and they're taking it
pretty hard.
He just needs some time.
You're screwed.
Oh, is that
your official legal opinion?
Look, the ESPP has opened an
investigation of the property.
It could take up to 12 weeks.
This will cripple us.
Our loans are due
in half that time.
And you're also being charged
with reckless endangerment
for not handling
the problem
before the construction started.
Then this is nonsense.
Cristal oversaw the transfer herself.
Everything was handled
safely and completely.
Everything except for
one slow reptile.
Something doesn't feel right.
I've never seen so much
as a snake in that grass.
Hey, I didn't realize we were
having a family meeting.
What are we discussing?
The airport opening is off.
The plant-eating,
tree-hugging
environmental protection agent
shut us down.
Some endangered species crap.
I'm sorry, I was just about
to tell you that
my team was ready
with the LED lighting,
but we'll hold off
until you're ready.
I don't want to stress you out
even more.
And I'll put a call
into a judge,
see if I can get this expedited.
Just when you think you're safe,
a tornado hits.
Well, let's hope
this is the last one.
Morell will make sure
to stormproof.
You guys are family.
PPA is my first priority.
- That's kind of you, Fallon.
- God.
Who knew one little turtle
could cause such a stir?
Keep me posted on everything.
So, is it congrats
or condolences?
After I handled
the battle of the bands,
I spoke to the events team
to see how such a big mistake happened.
Marie said she warned you,
but you didn't listen.
She must've misunderstood me.
I said wanted two rock bands
on back-to-back nights,
not two back-to-back rock bands
on one night.
And then I opened Snapchat,
and I saw that your Bitmoji was
at the manor when you were
supposedly in your car.
- Do people still use that app?
- Okay, that is enough.
- Agreed, let's have a drink.
- No.
I meant enough lying.
Kirby just happened to be
at the restaurant
during the time I was gone
and badmouthed me to Sasha.
I couldn't ask her
to move in with me,
because, when I got back,
she left.
Well, Kirby can be a real bitch.
I know Kirby did not
do this alone, Sam.
Okay, fine.
I can be a bitch, too,
but only when it's needed.
The Queen of Wands isn't
a great card.
It means she'll bring chaos
into your life.
I tried to think
reasonably about this,
but look at what
she did to her ex.
And remember all those things
Charlie said about her?
Plus,
she almost ruined your movie
with a single Insta post.
That guy was a jerk,
the photo was a mistake,
and people change.
I'm trying to protect you.
- I'm being a good friend here.
- Really?
It doesn't feel like it.
So, go ahead and keep
your UNO! cards
and your crystal ball
away from us.
Ah.
What took you so long?
Didn't take me long at all.
Just a few minutes, actually.
It's a little late
for some stepmother bonding,
don't you think? Or are you here
to read me a bedtime story?
Yeah, ever hear of the tortoise
and the air... port?
I much prefer the one
with the seven little maids.
Speaking of which,
can you please ask Jeanette
to bring me my sleeping mask?
Ask her yourself.
I know what you did, Fallon.
You sabotaged the opening.
You sound crazy.
Or wait, is this
the impostor Cristal again?
You said "one little turtle,"
but no one in there
said a word about turtles.
Or how many there were.
Are you sure it wasn't
an impostor Fallon?
This is a limited-time offer.
Call the ESPP
and tell them this was a hoax,
or I will make sure
that Blake knows everything.
Morell won't be
the only thing you lose.
I know how much
his trust means to you.
Wow, looks like that lady boss
seminar really worked miracles.
Have I made myself clear?
Crystal.
This project has experienced
quite a bit of turbulence.
But from now on,
it'll be nothing
but blue skies ahead.
Now, if you indulge me,
just for a moment,
I need to thank my partner,
both in business and in life,
my wife Cristal.
She and my daughter Amanda
are the reason
we are celebrating today
and not three months from now.
I would also like to thank
the man who inspired me
to pursue this dream.
I only wish that
he was here today
to witness its unveiling,
but I am sure that
he is watching from up above.
Welcome to the Joseph Anders
Memorial Airport.
Okay. I understand.
Thank you.
Sorry if you felt
left out of the speech,
but I figured
Blake's gratitude for you
fixing this
would be outweighed by
his anger for you causing this.
You're probably right.
You want to help me out?
Can you find me
another multi-million-dollar
makeup company
that wants to go green?
Because Molly & Marissa
are leaving.
I wish I could,
but I'm sure
you'll figure something out.
You always do.
What are you doing?
The shareholder meeting's
just about to start.
Oh, I'm aware.
What are you doing?
Taking down a villain
and serving justice.
At least I was about to
before you stopped me.
Enough with the comic book talk.
Have you thought about
what will happen to SpringTime
if you get on that call
and expose their CEO?
What if the scandal
you're about to cause
shuts down the company?
Well, I suppose that's the price
Michael Bradford will
have to pay.
If he's as sleazy a CEO
as you say,
it's a price he could afford.
But what about everyone else?
500 people
could lose their benefits
and their jobs.
They're working for a monster.
Okay? I'm saving them.
I know your intentions are good,
but this isn't
the way to make a difference.
Destroying the villain doesn't
always make you the hero.
So what am I supposed to do?
Just let him get away with this?
I think you can do more good
by helping than harming.
The Jeff I know
is a builder, an inventor.
Let me put it
in terms you'll understand.
This is a job for Bruce Wayne,
not Batman.
I know we're technically
out of the bedroom,
but this isn't exactly
the date I had in mind.
Oh, you're hard to please.
Champagne, charcuterie,
fancy dresses.
What more could a girl want?
I don't know,
about 150 fewer people?
You know, you'd think
for a private airport
they'd have
a little bit more privacy.
I have an idea.
Come with me.
It's a duet.
Aren't they equally important?
Isn't that the point of a duet?
Dolly Parton has
her own theme park.
Kenny Rogers has
a few chicken restaurants.
Well, he's actually not alive
anymore, but I get your point.
What? Kenny Rogers is dead?
Oh, don't be so dramatic.
I'm just finding out about this.
When did this happen?
No, that wasn't about Kenny.
It was about
my mother being here.
LVK's here?
Don't let Cristal see.
I just hope she doesn't see me.
I-I can't sit through
another lecture
on how I'm not thinking about
the family business.
I take it she doesn't know about
your adventures in baby-making?
No, and I'd like to keep it
that way, so lower your voice.
I mean, she is your mother.
Maybe she's just
looking out for you?
Yeah. I know, I heard it.
You know, she claims
it's about what's best for me,
as long as it's really
what's best for her.
It's all about what she wants
for her own personal agenda.
Hmm.
See if you can come up
with a list
of 20 companies who are dying
to go eco-friendly.
Okay? And, Kelly, make sure
they have deep pockets.
Thank you.
Great.
It's the mother-in-law.
So, I see that
two weeks of "beauty rest"
didn't do much good.
I think you called it a coma?
What are you doing here, Laura?
You know what I love about you,
Fallon?
My father and my brother?
It's that you're always
proving me right.
I knew you were useless.
But you can't even
get pregnant now?
- Excuse me?
- Don't worry, dear.
It's probably best
you don't have children.
You haven't got
the maternal instinct.
You wouldn't know
maternal instinct
if it bit you in the ass.
You're denying your husband
a family.
And, meanwhile,
I've got a list of Georgia debs
just ready and anxious
to get the job done.
If you really loved Liam,
you'd just step aside.
Give it up, you old gank.
Your attempts
to break us up are
as futile as your attempt
to look younger.
Well, I don't have to attempt
anything this time,
'cause you did
all the work for me,
you barren bitch.
You...
Don't you dare touch my wife.
You're taking her side?
The woman that just
violently accosted your mother?
Liam, she is unhinged!
No! She's just had
enough of your crap.
And so have I.
Giving birth doesn't
make someone a mother, Laura.
You're living proof of that.
I am done.
I am calling my lawyer
in the morning,
and I'm having him cut you
out of my will and my life.
You know what?
Why not today? Need a ride?
I don't want to
see either of you
ever again.
Can we get that in writing?
I'm so sorry, Fallon,
that you're such a failure.
You always have been.
And you always will be.
Why did we just do that?
We're supposed to be
learning about each other,
not joining the...
not-exactly-a-mile-high club.
Well, I did learn what
you sound like at full volume.
Okay. Enough of that.
Let's get down
to business, okay?
Oat or almond milk?
- Oat.
- Mm.
Welcome aboard, Dan.
My pleasure, Blake.
Oh, my God.
I'm thrilled to take you
on the inaugural flight
out of the new airport.
Can't wait.
Come on up to the cockpit.
Now what?
Now we have plenty of time
to get to know each other,
right?
I need to say I'm sorry
times, like, 1,000.
I do stand
by the fact
that I was trying
to protect you.
I'm sure you do.
But that was only,
like, ten percent of it.
So, was the other 90%
just that you hated Sasha?
No. It had nothing to do
with her.
I was just panicking that our
friendship was slipping away.
I mean, you spend
all your free time with Sasha,
and all we talk about is work.
I just feel like
we're business partners
and that's it.
- That is not true.
- Well, that's how it feels.
You went from your movie
with Liam right to Sasha.
I don't know, I guess
I just miss the old times.
You know, like, charity tennis
and designing
the new club.
- Electrocuting contractors.
- Okay.
I promise no more
missed gym days.
And it's okay if there are.
Maybe you can even
bring Sasha,
and we can make it
like a fitness class.
Actually,
I'd rather not,
considering that
Ms. Sasha dumped me.
No. No, no, no, no, no.
This is totally my fault.
I'll call her right now
and I'll explain.
What's her number?
This had nothing to do
with you or Kirby.
I guess I missed the memo
that we were seeing
other people,
which is a problem
when you want someone
to move in.
Well, that's her loss
and your gain.
Because Mrs. Culhane
is out there somewhere,
and you'll meet her
when you least expect it.
Good, 'cause I am
no longer expecting it.
So, should we hit the gym now?
Actually,
I'd rather hit the tequila.
Would you like to join?
I think I can help with that.
So, I made a call
to the head of
the Dodson Initiative,
and PPA's green problem
is now taken care of.
With the cost covered 100%
by Morell.
PPA never had a green problem.
You did.
You know that this is
what's best for your company
in the long run.
I just sped up your timetable.
And you know this is best
for both of our companies.
I assume the beauty brand is
back with you?
If this always could've
solved everything,
why did you need to bother
with the turtle games?
I just couldn't be a failure
twice in one week.
Twice?
When we found out
that I can't have a baby...
...I just felt
like my body had failed me.
And I felt that
maybe I had failed Liam, too.
But you know that's not true.
Yeah, logically, yes, but...
emotionally...
I just...
I always thought that I would be
able to carry my own baby.
You know, that I would be able
to have that bond
and that connection.
Unfortunately,
I know exactly how you feel.
What happened to each of us
isn't fair.
Life isn't fair,
but you are definitely
not a failure.
Do you still wish that
you would've had a baby?
I try not to think about
what I can't have anymore.
And I found
a different kind of fulfillment.
So will you.
You're allowed to ask for help
if you need it.
You don't have to do this alone.
Thank you, Cristal.
And Morell doesn't need
to cover PPA's cost.
I admire your drive to leave
this world a better place.
So, you'll cover it, then?
Well, 50%.
I still have to deal
with your father.
What are we celebrating?
The fact that you were right.
Humiliation was
not the way
to take Michael Bradford down.
So, what did you do?
I got him the easy way.
I bought a lot more stock,
enough to control the company,
and then I fired his ass.
And you're okay with letting him
get away with his crimes?
Oh, no. I'm sending
my findings to the IRS.
Michael will not be running
another company any time soon,
and he can kiss
that private jet goodbye.
And probably his wife, too.
I'm proud of you.
It's easy to get lost
in revenge.
Hmm.
Maybe Dom-Mystique can do
a shoe collab in the future.
Let's put a pin
in that for now.
Look, I have been trying
to fill a void,
and I realized
what I've really
been missing is me.
I spent years
working on Colby Co.,
and then I just let it crumble
with a little help
from neurotoxicity.
You're young.
Life is a marathon,
not a sprint.
Exactly.
And now, I finally know
which direction I'm running.
It is time to rebuild myself,
my company and my legacy.
Cheers.
I am so sorry
for what my mother said.
She deserved a lot more
than a slap in the face.
Well, she'll get what she's owed eventually.
And as much as I love you
for checking in on me,
sometimes I forget to see
how you're doing.
Oh, Fallon, I'm fine.
Okay? I just want
to be here for you.
And I appreciate that,
but I'm not the only one
going through this.
We're a team.
Look, it does hurt,
you know, to imagine
not starting a family with you.
Well, that's I wanted
to talk to you about.
How do you feel...
about surrogacy?
I just want to have a baby
with you.
Okay? I don't care
how he or she gets here.
You're okay with this?
Yeah.
I mean, our lives have
never gone as planned.
We got married in
my high school theater
where a guy held me
at knifepoint
and accused me of
killing his sister,
so I feel like surrogacy will be
a piece of cake.
Yeah, we never did get
our wedding pictures, did we?
It's weird.
Growing up as a Carrington,
asked for help was always seen
as a sign of weakness,
and then later used against you.
And I really want
to break that cycle.
So, we're doing this?
- We're having a baby?
- We're having a baby.
I've waited all day.
I held up my end of the deal.
I am a woman of my word.
That email is drafted,
and I just need to hit "send."
But, in the meantime,
why don't we
make ourselves
a little more comfortable.
Uh... No, I-I'd prefer
to celebrate after.
Oh, we will.
Before...
- ...and after.
- Wait, wait, how many of those injections
did you give yourself?
D-Do you know what they can do?
Don't worry.
I am very in tune
with what my body's
capable of handling.
Wh-Whoa!
Apparently your body is
not used to walking.
All right.
Up we go.
This is exactly why I wanted
you to send that email first!
Oh, come on.
Unlock.
Yep. Yes.
I couldn't have done this
without you.
