---
Good morning, hermana.

In your chair.

I bought you your favorite,
caramel macchiato,

to start off the day.

I'm not a monster.
Plus, I wanted a muffin.

Beto, please. You don't
understand what you're doing.

Oh, I understand.

I'm getting the
family company back.

My inheritance.

You can have the damn company.

But Rita wants my life.



She told me

she's gonna kill me and
take my place permanently.

Oh, you'll say anything to
get out of here, won't you?

Luckily,

I'm not as gullible
as your husband.

Blake made an
appointment in two days

to sign the transfer paperwork.

You'll be let out once I'm
safely on my way back to Mexico.

You think you'll be safe there?

Once I tell Papá
what you've done...

Oh, Papá this, Blake that.

You're like a broken record.

And I'm not worried.

No one's gonna
believe your story.



A woman that looks just like
you took over your life?

The only one getting
locked up here will be you.

You know, on second thought,
I'm gonna keep this for myself.

I've got a question for
you.
Perfect timing.

I have a question for you.

Not sure how that's
perfect timing for me,

but okay.

I'm putting the Carrington
vacation compound

on the market next week,
and rolling the profits over

into to the construction
budget for the new PPA airport.

Is there anything in the house that
you want before it's cleaned out?

Wow, I haven't thought about
that place in years, so no.

That's the past and I am
focused on the future,

which leads us back
to my question,

which is about the past. Um...

Were you and Alexis

on the same page when
you decided to have kids?

Am I about to be a grandfather?

Do I need to set up
custodial accounts?

No, no, no. Relax. Although...

I did bring up the
subject with Liam.

And? And he went to Los Angeles

to meet with his
movie producers,

and I haven't heard
from him since.

Well, funny enough, having
kids was the one time

Alexis and I were
in total agreement.

In fact,

Adam was conceived at
the Carrington compound.

Ew. Yet another reason
to get rid of the place.

Okay. Liam is on his way home.

So thankfully, we can
stop talking about this

before you tell me
where I was conceived.

Oh... Don't.

I'm really
enjoying our weekly.

Dom-Mystique
business breakfasts.

Yeah, me, too.

And also, congratulations

on your glowing Wall
Street Journal profile,

Mr. Savior of Fallon Unlimited.

Thanks.

All I did was stabilize
the company stock price

and keep morale high
while Fallon's away.

As a mother, I'm proud you've
restored your reputation.

As a business partner,

I was a little dismayed
to see no mention

of Dom-Mystique.
Calling out the success

of my mother while talking
about Fallon Unlimited

would not have been the
most professional look.

Enough about me.

What's going on with
the NordicStar contract?

I'm about to expand my
international profile

by selling direct-to-consumer
on IG Live.

That should get some attention.

I am going to make that airline

notice Dom-Mystique whether
they want to or not.

Sounds like a good move.

Maybe you can call the Journal

and tell them to
redo the article.

I'm kidding.

Cheers.

And here you go.

Enjoy your new suite.
It's a great one.

A suite?

I can't believe how
generous Ms. Carrington is.

I didn't expect an upgrade to
come with the, uh, the job.

Well, now that you're
staying here long term,

you deserve a little more space.

Fallon wants only the best,
including for her horse trainer.

Well, she sounds like a great
friend to have in your life.

Thanks.

Um, did I just see Carter Tatum

in the restaurant
doing a photo shoot?

If you mean the gay Insta
icon that is the spokesman

for the collab between La
Mirage and Tres Gatos Tequila,

then yes.

His feed is all I
want my life to be.

Tell me about it.

He's always out at
a club, on a yacht,

or hanging out in
Turks and Caicos.

I'm so jealous.

Where is Turks and Caicos?

I don't know, but
I'd go to either one.

My life has been all
hotel for so long

that if I don't
start having fun,

I'm gonna burn out
by the time I'm 32.

Wait, Sammy Jo, I
thought you were 32.

Hush, child.

My point is, if
Fallon Carrington

can find some work-life
balance, then I definitely can.

Let's see. "Turks,

and Caicos."

Shrimp?

I think we should
cancel the meeting

with Beto and the lawyers.

Why? I thought it was settled.

I just can't shake this
feeling that Beto's

got some trick up his sleeve.

Look, we know he
doesn't play fair.

I don't think you should
give him the company.

I understand your concern,

but I think we're making
the right decision.

What are you doing?
You can't drink that.

What? Why not?

We just talked about

how grapefruit
juice is dangerous

to mix with your meds.

Wow, I-I think the stress
of dealing with the company

is making me forgetful.

Just grabbing some food
on the way to the office.

Yeah, hold on one second.

Is it possible that Cristal
is having a reaction

to her cancer meds?

She was dizzy a few
nights ago, and now,

now she's forgetful.

No, it's not a big
deal. It's stress.

Well, we can never
be too careful.

It is almost time for your
six-month post-op checkup.

Why don't you come in, we'll
get some blood work done.

I can give you a ride to
the hospital right now.

Oh...

I have a manicure
appointment in an hour.

Everyone's
overreacting. I'm fine.

Thank you, Adam.

Okay.

I just want to
sign the paperwork.

No. I'm not signing
anything right now.

Until you have a
clean bill of health,

it is not happening.

If you can't go in today,
you're going in tomorrow.

Of course, honey.

Thank you for always
looking out for me.

They want to start production
as soon as possible,

since Nina has a couple of
directing projects lined up.

Which means I have
to finish work

on the screenplay right away.

So between that and traveling

back and forth to
L.A. for meetings,

: I mean, my schedule
is about to be crazy.

Look at you, crazy
busy. It's kind of hot.

Uh, speaking of crazy,

did you happen to think
about that question

I brought up before you left?

It's okay if you didn't.

No, I did.

Oh.

I thought about it
a lot, actually,

and I was pretty
clear in the past

about my feelings
on having kids.

You were.

And I'm just, I'm about
to be really busy.

No, I understand. It's
just not the right time.

I said "about to be busy."

Which makes this the perfect
time to try and get pregnant.

Oh, my God.

Are you serious? Yeah.

Really? Yes.

Ooh.

Okay, not that I'm complaining,
but what changed your mind?

Well, let's just say
you weren't the only one

that was affected by your
near-death experience.

I'm ready to expand our family.

Well, the next three days are
my most fertile of the month.

Did you already get one
of those ovulation kits?

'Cause clearly you were
expecting a yes from me.

No, I didn't, but way to
ruin the mood with science.

No, I just know my body,

and right now my body
is all about sex.

I am as fertile as the
Pampas in Argentina.

Hmm, we're gonna have a baby!

Or at least have an
amazing time trying.

I cannot wait till
Jazz Night tomorrow.

It's gonna be hot.

Huh? Oh, yeah.

Carter is really hot.

Who?

I was talking about music, man.

And I'm talking
about Carter,

that hot model over there I
need to ask out on a date.

I've been trying to figure out
how to live my life like him,

but maybe I can live
it with him instead.

Did my, uh, search for
"the one" inspire you?

Yes, to do exactly the opposite.

Sammy Jo needs some fun in
his life, so wish me luck.

Hey. Good to see you again.

Sam.

You want to grab a drink?

Yes, let's.

Hey.

So, I ran your IG Live plan

by the legal department, and
they told me your contract

prohibits you from selling your
merchandise anywhere but FSN.

You're gonna have
to scrap this idea.

Well, that's not happening.

It's a breach of contract,

and I can't let that
happen on my watch.

Well, what if you
looked the other way?

You know, not watching?

I can't not watch what
I've already seen,

and I can't play favorites, Mom.

Of course you can.

I'm your mother and
business partner.

What's good for Dom-Mystique
is good for you.

I'm rebuilding my professional
reputation at Fallon Unlimited.

I'm not gonna throw
that away by-by putting

my own personal interests first.

Fine, then put mine first.

Talk to Fallon.

Explain the situation.

You're very persuasive
when you want to be.

Yeah, clearly. Uh...

Okay, look, I-I'll
give it another shot

with Fallon, but I...

Wonderful. Let me
know when it's a go.

Try this. It's a Sazerac,

an authentic New
Orleans cocktail.

Mmm.

I like. Perfect for Jazz Night.

See? I was listening.

Thank you. And thank you
for helping me set up.

Of course. I'm here for you.

But I do need to multitask

and get ready for my date
with Carter tomorrow.

Here are your outfit
options for Rollerblading.

Rollerblading? Why not
just wear sweatpants?

Ew, gross.

No, no, no, no. He's
obviously kidding.

I mean, you're kidding, right?

Do you want me to wear
some elbow pads, too?

I mean, that's not
the worst idea.

What? I'm kind of a
stickler for safety.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

Sam's picture is
gonna be posted online

and seen by all of
Carter's followers

and who knows who else?

So I need to look aspirational,

not like someone dressed by
his overprotective mother.

Or business partner.

Oh, Daniel. Hi.

Hi, I hope I'm not interrupting.

No, of course not. Can I
help you with anything?

Everything okay with the suite?

Oh, the suite is perfect. Uh...
I was looking for you, actually.

I was wondering if you might
like to get some dinner later?

Wow, uh...

Well, thank you, I
am very flattered.

But, uh, tonight's not good.

I have a lot of hotel
business going on,

but maybe some other time?

Of course. Uh, I-I'm sorry,

I didn't mean to
put you on the spot.

: No, no, no.

No problem at all. I
didn't feel on the spot.

Totally spotless.

So, have a good night.

Take care.

Why'd you say no?

You just said you were
looking for someone.

I said I was looking for fun,
and I'm pretty sure dating.

Fallon's horse trainer isn't
the best way to find it.

Oh, he could be
fun. But he's old.

No, I just don't want
to split my focus

while I'm dating
Carter, that's all.

Now I need to head out for
my manicure and facial.

We're still setting up.
Just do all that tomorrow.

I am getting an $1,800
overnight, ultra-hydrating,

vitamin C, hyaluronic
firming mask, so I got to go

now. Of course.

Well, why didn't you just
say that in the first place?

Mmm.

You have really gone all
out here. I feel bad.

Is there anything special
that I can do for you?

Actually, yes.

In order to increase the
chances of getting pregnant,

I read that it's helpful
for the man to pray

to the gods of fertility
at the moment of climax.

Um... I'm not...

I was kidding. It was
a joke. Lighten up.

We're supposed to be
having fun, remember?

Okay, well, I'll show you
some fun.

Uh, whoever it is,
please go away.

Adam?

Did you not say "Come in"?

Nope. Not even close.

Well, Blake mentioned
something about

becoming a grandfather soon,

so I just wanted
to offer my advice

as a trained physician.

My advice would be
for you to get out.

I will, but I think
you should know

the positions that are
most conducive to...

Ew! Get out!

You don't have to tell me twice.

No, more like five times.

Mind if I just have
a... Goodbye, Adam.

Ah, ah... Ow.

Do you still want to...? Do you?

Not unless you want me to think

of your brother at
the moment of climax.

Well, if the mood wasn't dead
already, you just murdered it.

New plan.

We leave tomorrow at dawn.

I know exactly where we
can go to get some privacy.

Why wouldn't you
push the blood work

until after the meeting
with the lawyers?

We don't even know if you and
Cristal are the same blood type.

I tried to stall,
but Blake wouldn't budge.

But I do have some good news.

It's amazing what that hospital
will do for a Carrington,

especially one who
started a clinic.

Here's everything we need
for an at-home blood draw.

Well done.

You know who's been
just a doll to me?

Your stepson.

He's so concerned
about my well-being.

Did you two ever

you know?

I kind of get that vibe.

You're disgusting.

I'm just trying to get
the lay of the land.

Don't be so prissy.

Beto,

you must realize this is insane.

Well, I'm not gonna let
a little blood stop me now.

I wouldn't move around
too much if I were you.

I don't want to jab
you in the wrong spot.

After all,

I'm not a professional.

Wow, this house is beautiful.

Well, when you talked
about "the old place,"

I thought it would be shabbier.

Well, it's Carrington shabby.

And it's only beautiful
because no one else is here.

Aw. I used to nap on that couch

while my grandmother
scratched my back.

That's such a sweet
memory. Yeah, it's great.

Let's do it.

No complaints here.

I have one I'd like to register.

Winston?

Who's Winston?

Winston is the man

who wants to know if it's
safe to look up again.

Winston has been the caretaker
here since I was a child.

And yes, yes, you can
uncover your eyes.

This is my husband Liam.

Oh.

A pleasure.

And, uh, nice to see

someone clearly uses
his gym membership.

Uh, I'm sorry

to disturb you, Ms. Carrington.

I-I didn't realize
you'd be here.

Yeah, well, back at you, Winnie.

We were hoping that
we would be alone.

So maybe you could just head off

to the staff quarters
for a little bit

and take a tiny, little nap,

you know, while Liam and
I try to make a baby.

Unfortunately, no can do.
I-I've already cleared out

that wing of the house in
preparation for the sale,

and I only have two days left

to make things happen
here. FALLON: Well,

we only have two days left
to make things happen, too.

Do you want to just get

a hotel room downtown
or something?

Do we really want to
tell our future child

that they were conceived
in a chain hotel?

What is with men wanting
to tell their children

where they were conceived?

But I get your point.

It's just a little icky

with Winston here packing up.

You understand. WINSTON:
Most definitely.

I wouldn't want me here, either,

distracting you from
this cool drink of water.

Hey, what if we help
Winston pack up?

Get him out of here

in one day instead of two?

Really? You would do that?

Yeah.

Brawn and brains.

Hmm, we have a
winner.

Uh...

Well, why don't you
two start in this room,

and I-I'll just be in
the next room over.

Hmm.

I think you've got
a friend for life.

Let's start packing

this up so we can get
this stuff and him

out of here as fast as possible.

Mmm.

I haven't been
Rollerblading in ages. Hmm.

I could tell by the way you
ran straight into a bush.

Twice. That bush was hidden
by a group of children.

That's really what
I was aiming for.

Mm.

We got some cute
pictures, though.

Really? Let me see. Uh-uh.

I have them set to
publish in an hour.

You know how it is.

Oh, yeah. I-I get it.

I'll check then. I have to run

to another engagement,
but I'm hosting an event

at a pop-up bar in
Midtown later tonight.

You want to stop by?

That sounds like fun.

Mm. And I am all

about fun.

In that case,

I'm headed to Belize
with some friends

next weekend on the PJ.

It'll be the most fun.

Come.

OM-extra letter-G.

I'm in.

I mean, a-a trip to Belize

is exactly the kind of
vacay I've been looking for.

Perfect. Uh, just don't forget
to change before tonight.

Uh, I just don't want you to get

trolled for wearing
the same outfit twice.

: Oh. No, please.

I never wear the
same thing twice.

Unless there's a
fashion crisis, but...

Yeah, don't worry.

I'll bring even more
clothing choices to Belize.

You actually won't need that
many clothes on the trip.

Mm. Ooh, I feel a
bit light-headed.

Would you like me to get
you some apple juice?

That would be
wonderful. Thank you.

Surprise.

Oh, you startled me.

: I'm sorry.
I saw your nurse.

Just wanted to, uh,
check in on you,

give you your apple juice.

Um... Are you... Are
you still feeling dizzy?

I'm feeling a little weak.

Oh, I'm so pathetic.

No, no. Can you

hand me that juice?
Yes, of course.

It is completely normal for
you to feel light-headed

after having your blood drawn.

Here you go.

My hero.

Mmm.

I'm feeling better already.

Great.

And, uh, I can
take that for you.

Oh.

: Yeah.

Mmm.

You want me to call
Blake to pick you up?

Oh, don't worry.
I have the driver.

I'll see you at home.

Yep.

Thanks for doing this with me.

If I'm gonna be
photographed all the time,

I need to burn an extra
400 calories a day. Please.

I'm not just here for you.

Now that I'm getting
back into modeling,

I need to take new pictures
so I can get an agent again.

Well, I'll just
keep telling myself

you're here for moral support

because it helps me get
through the workout.

: It's Carter.

What do I do?

Answer it? Okay.

Hello?

Hey.

No, I'm not breathing hard.

Oh, no.

Well, we can just move
it to The Sahara Club.

No, no, no, it's not
a problem. Not at all.

Okay, great.

See you then. Bye.

What was that?

The pop-up bar popped down,

so I offered The Sahara
Club for tonight. Um,

isn't tonight Culhane's
Jazz Night at the club?

Nah, we can push it a day.

Jazz is timeless, right? Well,

in that case, I'll
be there, too.

A few well-tagged pics
with the Insta-crowd

will help me
impress a new agent.

I feel so used.

But I kind of like it.

Oh, wow.

It's me when I won the Georgia
Young Businesswoman Prize.

You look like you're
ten in that photo.

I was eight.

: Aw. Look.

It's a drawing I did
of my first horse,

Pepperoni.

What? I was really
into pizza. Seems like

you have a lot of nice
memories from this place. Yeah.

I do.

Let's make a new one right now.

Please

don't tell me it's Winston.

Look at that.

There's nothing there. Exactly.

That is where the Carrington
family crest has been forever.

I know that we didn't pack it.

Winston said he hasn't packed
in here. So where is it?

We're just gonna
skip over the fact

that there's a
Carrington family crest?

Oh, yeah, we are.

Because the ivory chess set

that Anders used to
teach Blake how to play

was always right there.

Nana Carrington's
crystal candelabra

has always been right here.

And the gold-plated
cookie cutters,

they weren't in the kitchen.

Where is everything?
It's all missing.

Who would steal all this stuff?

Maybe someone

with an intimate
knowledge of this house

and a crush on you.
: You mean Winston?

Mm-hmm. Oh, Fallon,
why would he do that?

He's probably pissed
that he's out of a job

and a place to live,
so he helped himself

to a severance package. Okay.

Then we should call the police.

Or

we could wait until he goes
on his little nightly patrol,

sneak into the staff quarters,

and see if he's been
hiding everything in there.

I'm guessing we're
going with option "B."

Yeah.

What about your
fertility window?

Oh, that thing's open
for another two days.

Besides, I can't focus

if all my family
heirlooms are missing.

So let's go find
everything, catch him,

and then get back to making
a family heirloom of our own.

Well, Adam said
that you nearly fainted.

I was nervous.

Who knows what the
results will say?

Adam was just making a
big deal over nothing.

I was concerned.

But it turns out you were
right. It was nothing.

Blood work came back
normal.

It's great news.

That's wonderful news.

Have you been working out?

: Anyways, I'll,
uh, I'll leave you two

to celebrate. Well,
I am relieved.

Not as relieved as I'll be
once we meet with the lawyer.

You promised

you'd hand over the company

once I got a clean
bill of health.

You heard Adam. I'm fine.

The only headache I have is
the company weighing me down.

Okay. You're right. I agreed.

I'll confirm the
appointment with the lawyers

for tomorrow morning.

Thank you, darling. Mm.

Mmm.

Daniel. I'm surprised
to see you here.

I didn't think you were into
the, uh, influencer scene.

Oh, I don't think I am,

considering I don't
know what that is.

I thought it was,
uh, Jazz Night.

Oh, yeah, that,
um, got postponed.

I needed to accommodate for
a very important client.

You impress me, Sam.

I can see how hard you work,

but it's nice to see you having
a little bit of fun, too.

I've been a workaholic myself.

You have? Still am,
if I'm being honest.

I spent so much time with horses

that I missed out on some of
my personal relationships.

I think I was more comfortable
with the horses, to be honest.

They, uh, can't hurt you.

Well,

unless you get
kicked in the head.

Good point. I...

I regret some of the
decisions that I made,

but, uh, I'm trying
to change that.

Yeah. I'm trying to
change things, too.

So I guess we have that
in common.

It's not as easy as
it sounds, right? Mm.

Well, I'm sure you have to
get back to your friends.

I hope you'll consider
grabbing that dinner sometime.

I don't understand.

Fallon won't grant
me an exception,

so therefore you

won't grant me an exception?

Seems like you do understand.

Don't get cute with me.

Look, I'm sorry. Okay?

A contract is a contract.

I just don't think
there's another solution.

This isn't a solution.

The solution is,

we'll dissolve our
partnership in Dom-Mystique.

I will buy out your
ownership stake.

Wait, what? How does
that help anything?

It helps me to know

the owner will always
put the company first.

You are completely
overreacting here.

And I thought we
were in a good place.

I guess that's, what, only
if I'm doing what you want?

We are in a good place.

This isn't personal.

You have a conflict of interest.

I need to focus on my company,
and you focus on yours.

It's just business.

Fine. I'll have my lawyer

draw up the paperwork
to sell my stake.

But partner or not,

you still can't sell your
clothes anywhere but FSN.

We'll see about that.

This is amazing!

Carter just posted
a picture of us,

and I already have a
ton of new followers.

Maybe one of them is
your future agent.

Oh, my God! You never
know. Fingers crossed.

I think I'm definitely
drunk. Yeah.

I can tell by the way that
you're dancing, but I like it.

This is exactly the kind
of fun I was talking about.

Hey!

You canceled Jazz
Night to throw a party,

and you didn't even tell me?

Crap. I meant to tell you.

Which I realize now is not the
same as telling you. My bad.

But this isn't just a party.

This is actually great
for the club, too.

All of these people have
millions of followers,

so I'm actually living my
best life for both of us.

If living your best
life means screwing over

your business partner and friend

to hang out with a bunch of
people you barely even know,

you may need to rethink
your priorities.

No, I wasn't trying
to screw you over.

I just got caught up in
the excitement. That's all.

But you just don't understand.

No. I don't.

At all.

Wow.

I've been looking for you.

Why?

Well,

you found me. Mmm.

Hey, actually,

can you scooch over a little

and tilt your head
the other way?

Huh? The lighting's
better this angle.

Let's try again?

You're trying
to put our first kiss

on your story?
Well, technically,

it's our second kiss. But

this one will look better.

Okay.

There's the chess set.

And Nana Carrington's
candelabra.

It's all here.

All right, relax, Velma.

We don't know for sure
that Winston's stealing.

Oh, really, Shaggy? Because
it seems pretty clear to me.

What, the guy compliments
your six-pack,

and now he can do no wrong?

This isn't the first
time that Winston

has taken something
that wasn't his.

On second thought, you're
probably right about him.

What are you doing?

The question is,
what are you doing?

I heard a noise.

So you pulled a gun on us?

It's an antique. It
doesn't even fire.

Guns terrify me.

I-I just... I carry it

in case I need to scare anyone

while I'm on my rounds. Oh,

that's rich coming from
the man who's stealing

all my family's belongings.

What are you talking
about? LIAM: Well,

you told us you cleared
out the staff quarters.

Yeah.

But now I see,

the only thing cleared out

is half my family's history.

I have no idea how
all of this got here.

I-I certainly wouldn't touch it.

And neither should you.

That candelabra
is very delicate.

Yes, I know. It was
my grandmother's.

I just don't want you
to break it, all right?

Please. Please. Get your hands

off of me!

Did you just kick me? You...

Ow!

Calm down!

Everyone, calm down!

You second-rate
mall security guard!

I don't care what
you say to my face, you viper!

Everyone, just calm
down! Je... Whoa!

Let go of it!

No! The only way I am letting go

is when I cram it down
your throat!

Ow! Aah!

Stop!

She's had anger issues
ever since she was a child.

Divorce does that.

Yeah, you're both
acting like children.

We can handle this like adults.

I am an adult!

Nana Carrington would
roll over in her grave

if she knew what you did today.

To think you'd accuse
me of stealing.

I quit. FALLON: Well, good.

Because you're fired.

Whew. This place has
always been so relaxing.

Yeah, I still don't trust you.

I'm only doing this because I'm
worried about Cristal's health.

Well, you should be.

She hasn't been herself lately.

Well, hopefully this will
make you feel less stressed

and get back to your old self.

I'm sure I will.

Let's just get this over with.

Blake? Yeah.

You'll just need to sign here.

You need to sign here.

What is it?

Do you need your glasses?

No.

I'm sorry. I can't do it.

I know I agreed. I
just... I can't do it.

This is a giant mistake,
and you'll regret it later.

Blake, we've been over this.

Our lives will be so much better

without the Flores business
hanging over our heads.

Come on. We had a deal!

I just have a bad
feeling I can't shake.

Sometimes you got to
listen to your gut.

This is one of those times.

Don't throw away my
happiness over a bad feeling.

I'm not, honey.
I'm protecting it.

Arthur, please see
Mr. Flores out.

Tear up those contracts.

This isn't over.

Thanks for agreeing to
have coffee with me.

I thought you'd be
hanging with your crew.

You know, taking pictures
of people partying.

Taking pictures
of people kissing.

Taking pictures of
people taking pictures.

You saw his feed? Yeah.

I wanted to check out what
all the hype was about.

Is this the life you want now?

Actually? No. Not at all.

I just...

I got so wrapped up

in trying to look
cool for Carter,

I didn't notice how
sad his life is.

All curated.

Are you saying

everything on the Internet
isn't what it seems?

Ha ha.

Look,

I'm sorry I blew off Jazz Night
and didn't check with you.

We're equal partners,

and you didn't deserve
to be treated that way.

No, I did not.

But you didn't do it on purpose,

so all is forgiven.

I think you learned your lesson.

Oh, uh, I did.

My left side is my
better kissing side.

Oh, my God.

But, also, when I'm
kissing someone,

I don't want to have to
worry about angles or light.

You know, Jazz
Night could be fun.

And I'm definitely
gonna check it out.

I think a more mature influence,

not influencer, is what I need.

Mm-hmm.

And I actually met someone
who I connected with

on a genuine level.

And not even online.

Cheers to that. Look at you.

Hello, Mother.

You want 50%

of all profits in perpetuity?

It's standard procedure

to ensure I'm getting
fair compensation

for my efforts in building

the business. Oh,
which reminds me.

Uh, I also want an
early investor fee.

Is this a joke? No business
can sustain that kind of model.

Depends on the type of business.

Well, not this one.

If you want

to play hardball,
you'd better be ready

for a fight, son.

No problem, Mother.

It's just business. Right?

Oh, I am so tired. I need a nap.

You kept me up all night,
tossing and turning.

Well, I know. I had
way too much adrenaline

coursing through my body. But I
think I've hit a low point now.

It's kind of hard to focus
on love after all the drama.

Yeah. Or not hard,

as the case may be. Whoa.

: Don't pin
this on me. I know.

I'm kidding. Now, on
a more serious note,

take off your pants.

What? Like, right here?

No. All right, I guess I'll let
you wait until we get upstairs,

but that's all the
waiting I'm doing.

We have to make a baby,

and time is running
out.

Okay. What? Why is
Blake calling me?

Okay, fine. I'll
meet you upstairs.

Aye, aye, Captain.
Don't do that.

You said you'd let me go

once Blake signed the
company back to you.

I will. But Blake
refused to sign.

It's because he knows
something is off.

How long

do you think you can
get away with this?

Long enough to get

what we want.

But don't worry.

I brought you a
change of clothes.

Don't say I never
did anything for you.

I've gotten to know Blake,

and he'll never stop protecting

poor, weak Cristal.

My husband loves me.

He sure does, sugar.

Which is why we'll just have to
remove him from the equation.

This is the stuff
we talked about.

Should do the trick.

What is that?

What are you gonna do to him?

Probably best if you don't know.

Don't want to upset you.

You
rang? Or are ringing?

I just spoke to a-a
very upset Winston.

Oh, upset that we learned
he's stealing all our stuff?

Winston didn't steal anything.

Don't fall for his act.

This might be my fault.

I told Bertie the
housekeeper to move

the Carrington heirlooms to
the empty staff quarters,

and it seems that I forgot
to tell Winston. Or you.

"Might" have been your fault?

You could have saved
me some bruised shins.

Wait, wait, so this means
that nothing is missing?

He's not selling all
of our stuff right now?

No, everything is accounted
for, except the family crest,

which I'm sure is
in a box somewhere.

Oh, wow, okay. Well, then,

I might owe Winston
a little apology.

Yeah, I smoothed it over.

He agreed to finish
the job for a bonus.

And then he mentioned how
this was like the summer

that you accused him of stealing
your Girl Scout Cookies.

Oh, yes. Yes.

It wasn't him that time, either.

It was Alexis cheating on
whatever diet she was on

with the Thin Mints. Right.

I didn't realize that
you would be so concerned

with the Carrington memorabilia.

Considering you told me
to sell the compound.

Well, I still think
that you should sell it.

But I want to buy it.

You do?

The place meant more
to me than I realized.

I'll tell Winston
to stay on, then.

You're gonna want him around.

I will?

Okay. Fine.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I
have an appointment upstairs.

Would you mind leaving
any more threats in writing?

Because I'm kind of busy.

You're talking to
me about threats?

What about your
ridiculous demands?

Unless you're trying to
extort your own mother,

those obviously are not real.

No, of course they are.

I don't believe you.

I just can't figure out why

you would waste everyone's
time with conditions

you know I would never agree to.

Honestly?

Because I'm afraid of losing
the new connection we have.

We just got to this point.

But if I'm not a
partner at Dom-Mystique,

I won't see you as much.

No reason for breakfasts.

How about because you're my son?

Keep that weekly breakfast
on your calendar.

I'm not giving that up.

Work or no work.

Now,

are you ready to drop
your fake demands

and sell me your half

of Dom-Mystique at a fair price?

Of course I am.

But also,

I reviewed your Fallon
Unlimited contract,

which stipulates you can't sell

what you're selling
on FSN anywhere else.

Yes, you've made that
quite clear, but thanks.

However, it doesn't say anything

about what you're not selling.

Am I supposed to
be following this?

You can't sell your
women's wear online,

but you can sell your
accessories line.

Bags, purses, jewelry.

Anywhere you want.

But I don't have
an accessory line.

Yet.

So we're buying the compound?

Yeah. I want to keep
it in the family.

I have way too many
good memories there,

and I want that for our kids.

I want that for our kids, too.

I was so focused on the future,
I completely ignored the past,

but they're linked together.

And speaking of
"linked together..."

Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow...

What?

I think I pulled a hamstring

when I was fighting
with Winston.

But I can push through the
pain. You shouldn't have

to push through the pain
to have a baby with me.

I mean, at least not till
the end of the pregnancy.

We don't actually have to
make this all happen tonight.

Why are you acting
like you're being

shipped off to war
in the morning?

Because I'm worried.

I mean, you're gonna be
busy with your movie,

I'm about to go back to work,

and I'm not gonna be able
to focus on anything else.

What if we miss our window?

Well, then, we'll
have next month.

And then we'll have
the month after that

and then we'll have all
the time in between,

even if you aren't a
fertile Pampa of Argentina.

But what if you
change your mind?

What? Is that really what
you're worried about?

Hey... baby, that's
never gonna happen.

I am in this with you,
a hundred percent.

Thank you.

I'm kind of touched

by this rare moment
of vulnerability.

Is it weird that
it's turning me on?

No. No, I can't do it.

I feel like my
hamstring is gonna pop.

Oh, I give up.

Sam, hi.

Hi.

I know this might seem
a little weird, but, uh,

please don't stop me because
otherwise I might lose my nerve.

I, uh, I feel like
we had a connection

last night at the club,
but I almost missed it

because I've been focusing
on the wrong things in life.

Anyway, I, uh,

I'm really sorry I blew you off

for dinner last night.

But I'm really happy
you asked me again

because I would love to
go on a date with you.

Oh, wow, uh...

I'm sorry, but I-I think
there's been a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?
I...

I thought you wanted
to have dinner with me.

I do.

But only because, well

because you're my son.
