FALLON: Whew.

Do you smell that?

Waffles?

No, that's the smell
of our future, Liam,

which starts today. Thank you.

I don't know.[sniffs]

I think I definitely
got a whiff of brioche.

You're awful perky for
someone who was up at

2:00 a.m. typing louder

than I knew was
humanly possible.

Ooh, did I wake you?
I'm sorry, I just,



I-I had this idea about Farrah's
story arc, and I just...

I wanted to get it in the
script before I forgot.

Don't apologize. I love
that you're so passionate.

I just wish that
passion didn't involve

pounding on a keyboard
with a sledgehammer.

Well, I'll be sure to use

a feather from now on.
Hey, and just know that,

even though my days
are about to get

crazy busy, I am still 100%

committed to making
this baby thing happen.

Aw. Your sacrifice is
noble. I mean, who knows,

maybe this baby is already

growing inside of
me with your eyes,

my hair, and not a
single genetic link



to any of her grandparents.

Oh, we can only hope.

Thank you.

Now, I got to get to
work to make sure this

maybe-baby has a legacy
to inherit someday.

Okay. Which is...
A work in progress.

BLAKE: Hey, Cristal.

It's not like youto miss

a morning run. Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I just needed a day off.

I know there's probably
something important

I should be signing
or selling or

not selling for
Flores Incorporado,

but I'm finding it all
a little overwhelming.

Remember, I've got the
Flores stuff covered.

I don't want you to
stress about this.

Maybe we should just dump
the whole thing on Beto

and run off to Cancún.

Well, we don't need to dump
anything to go on vacation,

and the Carringtons

slumming it in Cancún?
That is hilarious.

Although, I'm not
against the idea

of some place tropical.
Is that today's paper?

I'm just... so lucky

to have you.

I'm the lucky one.

Come on, let's go for that run.

The fresh air will do
both of us some good.

A run, yay.

I knew you would do a great job,

but this is even
more than I expected.

Thank you. No, thank you.

Running an international

media conglomerate seems to have

convinced the world
that I'm back.

I got dozens of offers,

and no one has asked
about Mars in weeks.

Hey, I liked the Mars
idea. Thanks, but

it was pretty out
there, even for me.

But I just wanted to make
the world a better place.

Still do, which is why

I'd love my last act here

to be taking Fallon
Unlimited's carbon footprint

down to zero, or as
close as possible.

I love it.

I haven't even shown you
the cost projections yet.

No need.

I have been thinking a lot

about my legacy

and making tons of
money just isn't enough.

I want to do good. Philanthropy

is great, but healing

the world? I mean, doesn't
get much better than that.

Although, I still

do want to make tons of money,

as well. Yes, of course.

Take a look. I got
it all mapped out.

Our first move is buying Morell
Green Energy Corporation.

Wait a minute, the
company you and I built

before we almost got married?

I think you mean "the company
you convinced me to fund"

"before pretending to marry me

so you could steal
it for your father."

Eh, tomato, potato. Right, uh,

well, Morell is still
on the cutting edge

when it comes to
renewable energy,

and-and their
renewable resources

could easily fit
your company's needs.

You don't need to sell me
on this, I am on board.

I'm also bored-bored
by the details,

so skip to the end, what do
I need to do to get Morell?

They're currently owned
by a company called TORO.

Their CEO is coming to meet
with us this afternoon.

Thank you.Perfect.

I get to keep the
barista, though, right?

You break it, you buy
it. NINA: If I see any

five-year-olds around, I'll
be sure to let them know.

LIAM: [laughs] I think
what Nina means is

thank you for doing this.

Permits are all approved.

We never would've been
able to make the time line

if you hadn't given us
the hotel and the club,

so we're really
grateful, right, Nina?

I agreed to shoot here, not kiss
the ring every time I walk in.

See you on the 17th.

Uh, did you say the 17th?

Just 'cause, you know,
you tend to mumble.

The 17th. Was that clear enough?

Mm-hmm. Is there a problem?

Uh, no, not at all.Great.

I take it there's a problem?

Oh, yeah.

Should I call Sam? No.

I'll take care of
it. Don't bother Sam.

He's busy with some, um,

important hotel business.

Why aren't youat work?

Because I'm obviously
making cranes.

Plus,

I'm avoiding my
faux-father Daniel,

who pops up every time I
set foot in my own lobby.

Well, maybe you should
just hear him out

instead of working on a
third grade art project.

Or I can just hone my craft
until the DNA tests come in

and prove that he
is a con artist

looking for a payday.

[sighs]

Who am I kidding,

a third grader would be
better at this than I am.

Distract me, please.

I wanted you to distract me.

I called Gretchen
today, my old agent,

see if she would
re-sign me as a model.

She didn't call me back.

That's why the mint chip is out.

This is great bad news.
Convincing Gretchen

to take you back is the perfect
distraction for both of us.

Hi. Sam Jones
calling for Gretchen

the, um, agent.

Yeah.

I am willing to offer
double market value

to get Morell back.

Now, what do we know about
the CEO? Very little.

TORO's a relatively new company,

focused mainly on
environmental activism.

There's almost nothing
publicly available

about their corporate
structure. Great,

so a bleeding heart
do-gooder new to the scene.

This'll be like taking
candy from a baby.

[clicks tongue]MAN [over
intercom]: Mr. Colby, the CEO

of TORO has arrived.

Great, send him in.

All right.

Patty?

Fal-pal's here, too?

I get both of you? [Chuckles]

This day will be increds.

That's one half-word for it.



You're the CEO of
TORO? [Chuckles]

Your assistant told me I was
meeting with "Mr. Toro" himself.

Because I wanted
to surprise you.

Like a mini high school re-yoon.

FALLON: Aw.

Hey, I have an idea,
why don't you two

make this really authentic
and move this meeting

to the backseat of Jeff's car?

[forced laugh] Hilarious.

Uh, that doesn't explain

why the public has no idea
your environmental company

is actually owned by the
"oil royal" de Vilbis family.

PATTY: You got to keep

the focus on all the good
work we're doing, right?

I feel like being tied

to an oil company
could confuse things.

Oh, you think? JEFF: Well,

we're, uh, grateful

that you took the time
to meet with us today.

[scoffs] Like I'd
pass on a meeting

with my favorite third baseman.

Please tell me she's
talking about the time

you played for the
Penley Pirates.

H-How exactly do you

own Morell Green Energy, Patty?

Well, when Carrington
Atlantic collapsed,

my father snatched up
a bunch of its assets.

Unforch, Morell didn't
really fit the family brand,

so Daddy spun it off and let me

try the CEO thing.

T.B.H., he's the big boss,
and I'm more day-to-day,

but I guess I've
got a green thumb

because Morell has
really flourished.

It's pretty easy
to grow a garden

when someone else has
done the planting.

JEFF: Okay, I think
we can all agree

that the environment

is the priority here,

which is why we're prepared

to make you a very generous
offer to buy Morell.

Oh, I'm not selling.

Then why did you come here?

I told you, to see Jeff.

But since I am here,
why don't you guys

come to a little fete
that I'm hosting tomorrow.

Morell landed a contract
to convert City Hall

to green energy,

and this is sort of my
"coming out" party as CEO.

I'd love to show
y'all what we've done

with your little
company. JEFF: Yeah,

I don't think that...
We'll be there.

Perf. [Chuckles] Oh,

and we are asking that
guests come dressed

as their favorite
endangered species,

so get your costume game ready.

Why did you tell her yes?

We're clearly not
gonna change her mind.

Oh, I'll find a way.
Morell is my family's name,

and I will die before Patty
drags it through the mud.

That's Alexis's job.

This place is perfect.

MICHAEL: I can do
you one better,

ballroom.

This is supposed to be
a love story, right?

What's more romantic than

locking eyes across a ballroom?

Huh? A-And this place is

dark and moody.

I can barely even
stand to be in here.

NINA: Which is why it's

perfect for a divorce party,

but thanks for your
unsolicited input.

Okay, okay, but have
you thought about sound?

The club was built
to amplify bass.

You'll be echoing
all over the place.

I'm guessing you didn't work out

that problem you
mentioned earlier?

Your producers scheduled
the club for the 13th.

I have a wedding on the 17th.

Can't you move it? Tried.

Bride's a lawyer.
She threatened to sue

before I could even
finish a sentence.

Okay, so put bridezilla
in the ballroom.

I hear it's romantic.
Tried that, too.

She wants somewhere unique,

somewhere where no one's
ever been married before.

She's even hired
a huge video crew

to "preserve the
wedding experience."

Look, guys,

I can move you to any other day

or location.

We'd have to reapply
for all of our permits,

and that would take weeks.

This is my only free window

for the next 18 months,

so if we can't work this out,

we're gonna have to
postpone... indefinitely.

Hold on, hold on.

Hailey... bridezilla...

She comes tomorrow for
her final walk-through.

Maybe we can convince
her together.

[indistinct voices over phone]

AMANDA: Oh.[chuckles]

Hi.

I don't suppose you've seen my,
uh, brother around, have you?

Perhaps napping in a coffin

or lurking under a bridge?

He left town last night.

[scoffs] You got to be
kidding. I think he did.

He and I mostly avoid
each another these days.

Meanwhile, I can't seem
to get away from him,

except when I need
him. [chuckles]

Kirby, there you are. What
are you doing in my room?

Never mind, I got
big news, guess what?

Gretchen called me back.

Shut up, really? SAM: Mm-hmm.

She and a guest are
coming to the hotel

for dinner tomorrow.

I told her it was a promotional
thing, but of course,

you will coincidentally
be there, too,

having a wedge salad,
or maybe a Waldorf.

We don't want her to
think you're a ranch girl.

Sorry, who's, uh, who's Gretchen
and what's a "ranch girl"?

[laughs] Funny. Hey,

are you free tomorrow night?

Because, uh, Kirby
needs a plus one

so she doesn't look pathetic.

I guess Adam is somewhere else,

and Alexis is in
Dubai, so, yeah,

I am, in fact, wildly free.

Perfect, and then

maybe after, we can
talk about your need

for age-appropriate friends
who are not your mother.

Why are you not
smiling? I have news.

Your DNA test results came back.

Oh, wow.

Uh...

I don't think I'm ready.

What if Daniel
really is my father?

How could I forgive him
for ditching my mom?

You open it.

What? No. What if it's bad news,

and then you blame me forever?

Fine, I'll open
it.[envelope opens]

[Amanda clears throat]

What does it say?

Why are you wearing Cristal
number one's engagement ring?

And why didn't we
bury her in it?

I'm kidding.

Cristal number one
might've had bad instincts

about pretty much everything,

but she had great
taste in jewelry.

Is there something
you wanted, Fallon?

Yeah, there absolutely is.

I want to take down someone

with morals, and
I need guidance.

You want my help

destroying someone with morals?

I mean, you know, mostly because

you're the only one in
this house who has any.

So, Plan A was obviously

to blackmail her, but

my PI says that her
closet is skeleton-free.

I mean, apparently,
underneath all of that

unflattering
self-tanner is a decent,

boring human being.

Nobody's that decent. Trust me,

even the prettiest manicures
have some dirt underneath.

Not Bratty Patty's.

Then I guess you'll just
have to drag those nails

through the dirt and
make them less pretty.

Wow.

I have to say,

I think this is the most
helpful you have ever been

and least predictable.
Thank you.

[cell phone chimes]

DANIEL: Sam? SAM: Explain how

you can be my father when
I've never even heard of you.

[sighs]

I was born in Caracas, like you.

I was raised down the
road from your mother.

Iris was my first
friend. [chuckles]

We shared everything:
Toys, books...

Beds?

No, it wasn't like that.

[scoffs]

And once she married Alejandro,

I didn't really see her anymore.

Yeah, he

wasn't big on her socializing.

But after he left, she
started visiting the stables.

She told me she liked the
company of the horses,

but I liked her company,
and then I realized

she liked my company, too.

So, you had a roll in
the hay in the stables,

and then you disappeared

when you found out
she was pregnant? No.

No, no, I didn't know.

If I had, I would've
fought for her

when Alejandro returned. I...

I loved Iris.

But she told me she
loved her husband.

I was heartbroken, so I took

a job as far away as
I could, California.

When did you find out about me?

When my mother died,

I returned to Caracas
to sell her house.

I paid a visit to Iris, and...

I saw you playing in
the yard. [chuckles]

You were about five, so I, uh...

I did the math. Why
didn't you say anything?

Because I was young and proud,

and she didn't tell
me for a reason.

And, selfishly, if I moved home,

it would've ruined my career.

I, um...

I don't know what to say.

I just want a chance
to know my son.

That's why I came here and
booked a room in your hotel,

why I accepted a-a
job with Fallon.

So, you want to start
from scratch now?

If you'll allow it.

Um, I...

I don't think I can do this.

All right? I have a
new family, and...

I think it's best if we
keep this professional.

How am I supposed to
relax when you're trying

to shut us down? I
don't understand.

I thought you said the
club's capacity was 325.

Standing.

For a seated event,
it's only 250.

[scoffs] Come on, man, can
you just help us out? Look,

I am willing to make
this worth your while.

Sir, are you attempting to
bribe a public official?

No. [Laughs] No. No.

But I'm happy to
host your next party.

Which will be capped at
250, just like this wedding.

[sighs]

I'm so sorry, Hailey.
This is on me.

I will give you a
full refund.[squeals]

Low-key,

this is the best news ever.

I've been dying to cut, like,

75 of my monster-in-law's
annoying friends,

and now I actually
have a reason to.

So, seriously, everyone
wins. It's perfect.

[chuckles]

You said the capacity is 250?

Are you sure it's not a
number lower than that?

I said 250 because that's
what my boss told me.

I can't just make up the
room's capacity willy-nilly.

Maybe you could double-check.

I think that firetruck's left
the station, so thank you

for bringing me out
here for no reason.

[sighs]

That fire marshal was,
like, weirdly sensitive,

but hot.

I wonder if he does
bachelorette parties.

There you are.

Can you please do that PT trick

you do for my shoulders?

I'm all knots.

Of course. J-Just

remind me which trick again?

I don't know the name.

It's literally the
one you always do.

Actually, I just read up on
some new shiatsu techniques.

Let me try one of those. Okay.

And if you're wondering
why I'm so tense,

it's because Daniel
wants to get to know me.

And that's bad?

Yeah. I've already had
one absentee father.

Do I really need to go
through that again? Ow.

Right. So, shut it down.

Yeah, but what if
I'm making a mistake?

What if Daniel's a good guy?

Ow!

Are you trying to
relocate my spine?

Suck it up. This is
how shiatsu works.

What would you do? The
biggest betrayals in my life

have always come
from my own family.

That's why I believe in
the family we choose.

Really?

I thought you were
all about la familia

until the whole Mark
Jennings situation.

Exactly.

Do you mind if we
don't talk about this?

It's still too painful.

Oh.

Um, sure.

And you're right,

the family I choose is
the one that matters,

so I'm gonna forget all about
Daniel and go help Kirby.

Is that an espresso
martini? Um...

First, I'm your masseuse,
now I'm your bartender?

Make your own.

I just don't get why you think

jellyfish are endangered.

Aren't all animals endangered

if humans don't do their
part to save the planet?

Besides, I would shave my
eyebrows off before facing

Patty dressed as
a blue whale. Oh.

Speaking of the endangered
Tasmanian devil.

Hey, Patty-Cake. Hi, all.

I'm actually Darwin's fox.

There are fewer than
400 left on earth.

And you are

an electrocuted ballerina?

Yeah, exactly.

Look at Mr. Tortoise.
Suddenly wishing

I were a hare,

so that we could
be neck-and-neck.

Uh, thanks. I think.

Come on, I am dying to show
you our new green energy tech.

We are harnessing the
energy of the dancers

to power the uplights. Oh, and

there is the "B-Y-O-Bar."
"Blend your own."

As in margs.[both laugh]

And just wait until
the sun goes down.

Then we are really gonna
light this place up.

Save me a dance?

Yeah.



I cannot believe you
took that to prom.

Now, come on, let's go up

on the roof and disable
the solar panels.

I need to get that
disturbing tortoise image

off my mind. Okay, do you really

think shutting off the
power is a good idea?

What's more embarrassing than
an energy party with no energy?

They'll look incompetent, and
her father will be rushing

to get this company off
his hands and his books.

That's him over
there. Do you see him?

Peter. Makes Blake
look like a saint.

Yeah, her father might
be evil, but Patty isn't.

And Morell looks like it's

doing a lot of good work here.

Maybe we should rethink this.

[chuckles] And I thought
jellyfish were spineless.

Look, we're not hurting anyone.
We're just embarrassing Patty

and getting our company
back. Think big picture,

Tortoise.

A little something
sweet for my sweet.

[Blake groans]An
espresso martini.

Someone's been watching a little
too much Sex and the City.

I'll stick to Scotch. Thank you.

You've been working so hard
on all the Flores stuff.

I figured you could
use something alcoholic

and caffeinated. Well,
you must be a mind reader.

I'm actually marking up the
new Flores contracts now.

New contracts?

No company is worth more
than your happiness.

We'll transfer Flores to Beto,

and be rid of the problem
child once and for all.

[moans]

[chuckles] Wow, if I'd of known

you'd react like that,

I would've ditched
Flores days ago.

[chuckles]

I'm just so relieved.

Okay, we need to find
the network interface

for the solar panel controls

and Bluetooth it to my tablet.

If I knew what
any of that meant,

I wouldn't have needed you here.

Bingo.

Ah, okay.

Okay, can you go any faster?

I want to cut the power
before the press leaves.

Distracting me won't make
it go any faster, okay?

All right, we are powering this

place down in three... two

one...

Why is that light still
on? Because the building

only experienced a 5% drop in
power when I cut the solar.

Patty said all of City Hall was
running on green energy, but

as far as I can tell,

it's only the west
parking garage.

Someone tried to disguise it,

but most of the power's
coming from an outside source.

Holy cow patty,
they're greenwashing.

You think so?

Definitely. It's
the oldest trick

in the "oil royal" handbook.

Get everyone to look at the
greenhouse you're building,

so nobody notices

the coal plant you snuck in.

Wow, I wonder what they're
using as their real source?

I would bet my shoe closet

it's petroleum owned by
the de Vilbis family.

It is. This whole solar
thing is just for show.

I knew this was too
good to be true.

Patty is going to
be so humiliated

when we tell the whole world

what Daddy dreadful
has been up to.

God, if we're lucky,
maybe they've been dumping

petroleum runoff into
the neighborhood nearby.

Okay, you and I
have very different

definitions of "lucky."

All we need to do is
to get Peter de Vilbis

to admit this whole
thing is a sham,

and then threaten to
exploit him if he doesn't

turn over Morell to us by
the end of the day. You see?

Sometimes, it's too easy.

[alarm blaring]

Okay, this is not great.

Yeah, great analysis.

What, did your
tablet tell you that?

[whispers]: Look, look, look.

There's Patty. The
girl who's obviously

still in love with you,
so can you please just

go flirt our way out of this?

I told you, I don't want
to manipulate Patty.

Okay? She's not a bad person.

FALLON: I'm not asking
you to sleep with her

again. I'm just saying go buy
me some time so I can escape.

Go!

Patty. Hi, there.

Jeff? What are
you doing up here?

I-I was just admiring
your-your panel work.

And-and the view,

which, uh, just got even better.

PATTY: False alarm.

We're good here.

I've, uh, I've got to know

how you landed this
City Hall contract?

I mean, talking about coming
out with guns blazing.

[Patty laughs]

PATTY: Oh, let me tell you...

I can't escape.

You've already made that clear.

Is this really necessary?

Just as a precaution.
I need you to stay put

until I'm safely out of
the country. [Grunts]

You're leaving?
You are too, soon.

Blake finally signed
over Flores Incorporado,

and as soon as Rita
brings me the contracts,

we can both celebrate.
Blake wouldn't do that.

He did, but don't worry, as
soon as I'm on the plane,

the police will get
an anonymous tip,

and you can get back
to your fancy manor.

Rita won't let that happen.

I told you, she's
trying to steal my life.

Rita's just a loser I found
at a bar, not a murderer.

If you leave, I never want
to hear from you again.

Don't call me.

Don't come back.

This is really goodbye.

Have a good life, hermana.

One last hug?

[groans]

[sighs]

[door opens, closes]



Mr. de Vilbis?

I'm sure you don't
remember me...

Fallon Carrington.

How could I forget?

Watching you bounce around

on the back of a thoroughbred

almost made Patty's
horse shows tolerable.

[laughs] Mr. de Vilbis,
we were in high school.

Age of consent in Georgia
is 16, and it's not

against the law to look.

I have to tell you
how much I admire

what you've done here.

I mean, you have to
tell me what clever

trick you used to turn
a profit on Morell.

What's Morell?

It's a company.

That you own.

The party we're at right now?

Oh. Morell, right.

Right, yes.

Morell is a TORO thing.

TORO is a fluff
division I created

to keep my daughter from
screwing up my bottom line

any more than she already has.

Was she really that
bad? Last year,

she lost my biggest account

to Canada. Mm.

I'm this close to
cutting her off.

Oh, but cutting off your own

daughter over a few
bad deals, I mean,

that's a little harsh, even
for you, wouldn't you say?

In families like ours, there's
no room for dead weight.

Maybe a taste of the
real world will knock

a little sense into her.

You know, I always

wished Patty was more like you.

Oh, let's not dig too
deep into that one.

[laughs]

Let's go somewhere private

and continue this little party.

Wow, that's quite the offer.

Let me see...

Um...

[clicks tongue] Ah.

[grunts]

Whoopsie. I didn't
mean to get you.

I guess I'm just
a little "bouncy."

[groaning]

I would like to talk
about setting up

a discount for your clients.

You know, models
love this place.

In fact,

we have one here tonight.

Gretchen?

What are you doing here?

Kirby. Hi.

I'm just grabbing
dinner with a colleague.

Charlie, this is Kirby Anders,

a former client.
Nice to meet you.

Hi.This is Amanda.

She's an art nouveau
photographer from London,

and we're collaborating
on a project together.

Yes. [Clears throat]

You know, I live to... shoot.

Do you want to
join us? You mind?

Not at all. Please,

enjoy. GRETCHEN and
CHARLIE: Thank you.

Now isn't a good time.

I-I just wanted
to give you this.

For what? You missed Christmas

and all of my birthdays. That
day I saw you in the yard

[laughs] you looked so
happy with your toy plane,

so I picked one up
when I was in England

for the Royal Ascot
a few months later.

I've held onto it all
this time, just in case.

You know why I used to
love planes so much?

Because I used to dream

of flying as far away as I could
from my "father" Alejandro,

who liked to hit me and my mom

whenever he drank,
which was often.

Sam, I didn't know...
Right, you didn't know.

You just ran away and left
your five-year-old son

to live with a monster.

I was trying to be polite,

but obviously I
wasn't clear enough.

I am not looking to
expand my family.

You need to find
somewhere else to stay.



This seat taken? You're late.

Well, I couldn't
exactly skip out

in one of the
Carrington Ferraris.

Did you grab my bag?

What bag?

The one that looks like a bag,
with all my real clothes in it.

Never mind, I'll just go
back to the house myself.

Well, how long is
that gonna take?

'Cause I need to call
in an anonymous tip

when we're safely out of town,

but I'm already cutting it
close to my plane leaving.

It's the last flight
out to Mexico,

and I am not staying in
this city one more night.

Go ahead, I'll
handle it. You sure?

Don't you worry.

I'll be happy to
take care of Cristal.

Okay, I'm leaving.
I'll be in touch.

[Jeff and Patty laughing]

Okay, I'd never done
my own laundry before.

And it was 2:00 a.m.,
and I was worried

that you were gonna kill
me for getting a stain

on your letter jacket.

No one told me that wool
shrinks in the wash.

[laughs] Yo, I-I
completely forgot

about that.[chuckles]

It's been nice catching up.

Yeah. It has.

Now, tell me what you
were really doing up here.

Okay, um...

I might have been engaging in
a little corporate espionage.

Oh?

Since I can't talk the pretty
owner of Morell into selling,

looks like I'll have to start

my own green energy company.

Not above stealing trade
secrets from the competition.

I should be mad.

Good thing you're so cute.

[chuckles]

You know, the thing is, um

when I was checking
out your grid,

I realized this place
isn't totally green.

Someone's found a
way to make Morell

a little more profitable.

I don't know what you mean.

Hey, I'm-I'm actually impressed.

I'd heard Peter de
Vilbis was cunning,

but he's clearly
brilliant as well.

Wait, you think my
father rigged the grid?

Please, the last time

he was sober enough to pull
off something like that,

Reagan was president.

W-Wait, hold up.

Are you telling me Sister Patty,

Patron Saint of charities
and hopeless causes is-is

the evil force
behind all of this?

I like to think of myself

as the beauty and the brains.

[scoffs]

Tell me more.

[quiet chatter][takes
deep breath]

Peace offering.

Apparently, I'm turning
apologizing to you

into a habit.

Ooh.

If I say that you have
nothing to be sorry for,

would I still get a donut?

Yeah, it's all you.

I shouldn't have
snapped at you earlier.

Okay?

A real fire marshal would
never have done that,

or put you in this position

in the first place.

I'm just stressed,
man. So I'm-I'm sorry.

Sounds like you need
something a little stronger

than a donut.

Talk to me, Goose.
Ah, the thing is...

[opens bottle]

Fallon and I are trying
to start a family.

Whoa. Yeah.

That is big life stuff.

Yeah, and she's
working on the legacy

that we're gonna leave
behind for our kids.

And I just...

I thought I was gonna have
something to contribute.

The movie's dead?
Yeah, pretty much.

I mean, w-without Nina, we're
back to the drawing board.

But, look, I shouldn't have
asked you to save the movie

when the producers
screwed things up, okay?

So I really am sorry.

Don't worry about it.

Trying to solve this problem was

the most fun I've had in months.

Look, everything here
is running so well

I'm driving the staff crazy
just trying to keep busy.

I'm definitely ready
for my next adventure,

whatever it may be.

Well, hey, cheers

to our next adventures.

And may we find them soon.

Amen. Bridezilla wants to be

the star of her own
movie, and it killed mine.

I'd appreciate

the dramatic irony if I
weren't so annoyed by it.

[both chuckle]

[music playing faintly]Hey.

There you are.

Turns out Peter de
Vilbis is guilty

of many crimes against humanity,

but greenwashing
is not one of them.

Yeah, the whole thing
was Patty's idea.

Wow, way to ruin my moment.

She confessed to everything,
and I got it all recorded.

We can take her down right now.

Yeah. Yeah, but we won't.

You were right.

Patty's not a bad
person. She's just

a very annoying one
with major daddy issues.

Okay, you've got
to be kidding me.

You want to just walk away, now?

Look, Jeff, the whole
reason you and I lost Morell

is because, you know,
we were both fighting

for our fathers' approval.

Punishing Patty

for doing the
exact same thing...

I don't know, it
just feels icky.

We'll do what you suggested.

We'll build a new company.
We'll do it the right way.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

What? Now you're
defending my side?

When did this become a
remake of Freaky Friday?

Patty is knowingly
poisoning the community.

We can't just let that slide.

Look, I'm glad
Fallon Carrington has

finally developed
a sense of empathy,

but maybe wait until tomorrow

to start using it.

Her father's threatening to
kick her out of the family.

This could ruin her life.

Yeah, maybe.

But if we don't do this,

you'll be ruining a
whole neighborhood

full of innocent people.

Just like the Carringtons
have always done.

Not every situation has
a right and wrong answer.

Okay? Sometimes it's
just bad and worse.

Hey! How'd it go?

Let me guess, you
need an energy drink

because you're jetting off to
New York to shoot a print ad.

[chuckles]Gretchen passed.

What? How?

She said she can't get
over the whole Fashion Ball

disaster that
happened last year.

Apparently, I am damaged
goods. I can't believe it.

After I gave her a
free chicken paillard.

Agents are idiots, okay?

CHARLIE: Not all agents.

How dare you show
your face back here?

You know what?

Kirby has grown and changed.

The woman standing here today

is one of the most

hardest-working, talented

and loyal people I've ever met,

and Gretchen just
made a huge mistake.

I agree. You do?

Wait, you do? I do.

And I'd like to represent
you, if you're interested.

SAM: W-W-Wait.

Why would you want to rep

someone your boss
called damaged goods?

Gretchen is not my boss,
and I'm a big believer

in second chances.

Everyone makes mistakes when
they're young and scared.

If you held some
of the things I did

in my youth against me,

you'd think I was
a terrible person.

Second chances are underrated.

Um, I got to go.

You should say yes before
she changes her mind.

[departing footsteps]

[sighs]

[busy chatter]

Hello!

My name is Patty de Vilbis.

I am CEO of TORO Enterprises.

I would like to
thank you personally

for joining Morell Green Energy
as we turn City Hall green.

This is a historic
moment for our city,

and the first step on the
road to a greener future.

Here is a sneak peek

of what else we've got
coming down the pike.

JEFF [over recorder]:
Tell me more.

[Patty chuckles on
recording]What is this?

Uh, this is the wrong file.

Solar was never going to
work for a grid this big.

But nobody asks questions so
long as the optics are good.

The mayor practically drooled
when I said "green energy."

Shut it off. Shut
it off right now.

JEFF [over recording]:
From your petroleum op.

What if someone notices?

PATTY [over recording]: In
this neighborhood? Please.

Even if they did,

it's not like any of them
could afford a lawyer.

[recording
stops][people murmuring]

I knew you'd screw this up,
like you did everything else.

I want you out of
your wing tonight.

Daddy, please.

FALLON: Fallon
Unlimited is prepared

to buy Morell at a
competitive price.

You want to buy this clown show,

after what just happened?

The headache is all yours.

Have your lawyers
send me the contracts.

Wait!

Daddy... Please.

We did the right thing.

Then why doesn't
it feel like it?

Good news.

Beto's got Flores back,

and Blake's waiting at home

to celebrate with his wife.

Bad news.

His wife's about to
die in a tragic fire.

Luckily,

Cristal 3.0 is
waiting and ready.

Or is it 4.0?

I got to admit, I still can't
keep track of that story.

I'm sorry.

Fire's not a pleasant way to go.

But I can't have anybody
recognizing the body.

And no one will.

[Scandal's "Goodbye
to You" playing]

♪ All those times
I waited for you ♪

♪ Seem so long ago

[grunting]

♪ I wanted you far too
much to ever let you go ♪

♪ You know you never
got my "I feel it too" ♪

[screams]♪ And I
guess I never could

♪ Stand to lose

♪ It's such a pity to
say goodbye to you ♪

♪ Goodbye to you

♪ I'll kill you.

Cristal!

♪ Goodbye to you.

BOTH: What are you
doing here? Uh...

Um...

Well, I tracked your
phone, because you've been

acting off for weeks,
and then I noticed

the tan line from your
wedding ring was gone.

Thought maybe you were having
an affair another man, not

this, whatever this is.

She's a con artist.
She kidnapped me.

She's the con artist.

You lying bitch.

Stop!

Nobody move or I'm
calling the police.

Show me your hands.

I'll check your tan lines.

Tell me something that only
the two of us would know.

Last year, we had dinner
with the Mona Lisa.

It was one of the best
nights of my life.

Not nearly as wonderful as
the time we got snowed in

at that little
château in Zermatt.

BLAKE: Okay.

What's your favorite
restaurant? Bacchanalia.

What's myfavorite restaurant?

You don't like anybody's cooking

better than Mrs. Gunnerson's.

What was the first
thing you said to me

after we renewed
our wedding vows?

That I would love you until
the day I die, mi amor.

"I can't believe you
wore those shoes."

Oh, thank God, Cristal.

Don't take another step.

My driver's outside,

and he's armed.

Call the police.

Sam.

Can I come in?

I'm sorry, I meant to
be out of here sooner,

but Allegra was being
particular about dinner.

I'll be, uh, done packing soon.

That's not why I'm here.

I shouldn't have

judged you for mistakes you made

two decades ago.

What are you saying?

That I'm afraid of
getting hurt again,

and it made me push you away.

But it is not fair

to judge you as the
person you were back then.

So, if you are willing to
give me a second chance,

I would like to get
to know my father.

I'd like nothing more.

Do you, uh, do you want to...

Um...

I am more into literal
models and private planes

these days. [Chuckles]

Why don't we just
start with a meal?

That, uh, that sounds great.

[indistinct chatter]

Careful, you break it,
you buy it. Cute callback.

Take this back upstairs,
would you, please?

The club is yours on the 17th.

I got the bride to
move her wedding.

Really? How?

There's just one small catch.

I knew it. It's not a big deal.

I just kind of told her that
you would film her wedding.

[chuckles] Me?

Film the wedding? Like
a hired videographer?

Except you wouldn't
be getting paid,

so really just a videographer.

You do realize I've placed
at Sundance three times.

I was on the
30-under-30 list twice,

once when I was 31.

Hailey is determined to
make her wedding unique,

and what is more unique
than having indie darling

Nina Fournier film your big day?

This wasn't my idea.

I can't shoot a wedding video.

It's one night.

We'll ply you with all
the alcohol you want.

Hmm. Fine.

Just remind me to thank our
jackass producers in L.A.

for this.

Hey, don't you think
we could use a producer

here on the ground? Sure.

You know anyone who's
willing to drop everything,

relocate to Atlanta,
and start tomorrow?

What do you say?

Me? Producing?

Yeah. Look, it's
just organization,

problem-solving and
creative thinking. Plus,

I mean, you did say
you were looking

for a new adventure.Yes.

But I don't know anything
about making movies.

At least we both know a
bad idea when we hear one.

You know what?

I'm a quick learner. Sign me up.

How are you?

I just woke up in my own bed
for the first time in weeks.

I'm great.

I-I can't believe I

slept next to a
stranger all that time.

I should've known.

I'm so sorry, Cristal.

It wasn't your fault.

Beto clearly trained
that psychopath well.

But you knew it was me
when it really mattered.

Mmm.

I just wish Beto
hadn't gotten away

with stealing
Flores Incorporado.

Well, you got your
wish. He didn't.

I had my lawyer draw up

fake contracts just to give me

more time to figure out what
was going on with you...

Well, her. That
paperwork meant nothing.

And if Beto ever
tries to come back?

The FBI will be waiting for him.

What's this?

New ring.

The old one was tainted by Rita.

I love you. And I love you.

Thanks for coming in.

Why am I here?

Hopefully, accepting a job

at Fallon Unlimited.

You're obviously smart
and hard-working,

and if we could just leave
our past where it belongs,

I'm thinking this
could be a great fit.

You've taken almost
everything from me.

Now you want my self-respect?

Pass.

I will never forgive
you, Fallon Carrington.

And I'm gonna make you pay.

One way or a-nuth.

Well, that went well. Yeah,
not exactly a surprise,

but it was nice of you.

I'm working on
empathy, remember?

Oh, speaking of
which, you were right.

My family does have a
pattern of turning our backs

on the unwashed masses.

But now with Morell,

I have a chance to do good.

You know, and hopefully

we can start to
atone for our sins.

A real leg.

Legacy. I just wanted to
see what it felt like.

[scoffs] Yeah, well,

it's not exactly like the Colbys
are designated for sainthood,

which is why

I'd like to stay here

as head of Morell.

If you're cool with that.

Sounds like we've got
our work cut out for us.

[chuckles softly]But
I want my chair back.

It's me.

Fallon Carrington
stole what's mine,

and I need your help making sure
she does not get away with it.
