- ADAM: Dr.

Sanchez, over here!

- Hang in there, sweetheart.

All right, what do we got?

s*ab wounds to the left abdomen.

Heart rate's .

BP's falling.

Okay, we got to get in there and control the blood loss.

Take her straight up to the O.R.

- Okay.

- Hold it.

You're not going anywhere near my daughter.

No, no, no, Anders, Fallon said Evan Tate did it, not Adam.

- He had nothing to do with it.

- Please, I'm a surgeon.

I can help, for God's sake.

Like you helped your mother?

No, thank you.

Okay, I'm not sure what is going on here, but Kirby is all that matters right now.

Please let him go, so he can keep us updated.

FALLON: Can we get some help here?

Fallon, are you all right?

I tried to stop him.

Dad, I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm just worried about you.

Just try to relax.

- I can't feel my legs.

- You...

Why would Evan just show up at the theater and try to k*ll you?

Oh, I don't know.

I forgot to ask him, what with the Kn*fe at my throat.

LIAM: Blake got there just in time for us to stop him, then they both took a bad fall.

FALLON: What is the latest on Kirby?

Is she gonna be okay?

Well, Adam's with her in the O.R.

It might take a while.

Hey, you should sit down.

You're upset.

Upset?

No.

No.

Why would I be upset?

I mean, this is the...

kind of wedding day every little girl dreams of, one that starts with a twisted ankle and ends with a Kn*fe at her throat, and it's what fairy tales are made of.

Somebody should call Disney.

- [CLATTERING]

- [GASPS]

- Hey.

You okay?

- Of course.

Okay?

I just don't like clumsy nurses.

Yes, yes, I'm talking about you.

Look, you've been through a serious trauma.

Maybe you should see a doctor.

Talk to someone?

No, I'm fine, Liam, I promise.

Blake and Kirby are the ones I'm worried about, because this is all my fault.

They both got att*cked?

Adam said neither of them sustained life-threatening injuries, but that was all he could say for now.

Well, I hope they're okay.

Well, Kirby anyway.

Wouldn't shed a tear if Blake was knocking on death's door.

I suppose he's been hurt enough, considering we managed to take everything he owns.

Certainly the highlight of my day.

Mm.

Mine was becoming the new owner of Carrington Manor.

[SHORT CHUCKLE]

Well, I just, uh, came by to get a few things.

I'll send movers to get the rest.

And I'm meeting with my lawyer tomorrow to review the divorce settlement.

He'll send it to you to sign, and I-I guess that's it.

You make it sound so final.

It's not that last you'll see of me, Mr. Colby.

After all, we are partners in a new diamond mine now, remember?

How could I forget?

So, uh, where's that contract?

Oh, you know lawyers.

They take forever.

But they're working on it.

And in the meantime, I am meeting with a foreman tomorrow so we can start the excavation.

Thanks, Alexis.

Not just for the investment, but for keeping things chill in the divorce.

Mm.

It means a lot.

MAN [OVER P.A.]: Dr. Coleman, dial .

How's she doing?

Oh, no news.

It's interminable.

- Well, I'm sure they're doing the best they can.

- [SCOFFS]

And don't worry, I went to the loft and spoke to Shelly Duncan.

She was freaked out, but I got her out of there unnoticed.

Did you tell her I'll be in touch?

I did, but she said don't bother.

She's going back to Montana and changing her number.

Who is she, anyway?

Is Kirby okay?

Are you gonna have to push Blake around in a wheelchair for the rest of his life?

- They're both gonna be fine.

- [EXHALES]

- Oh, thank God.

- Father has severe inflammation of the spine, causing temporary paralysis, but with therapy and time, he'll walk again.

He's demanding to be discharged.

What about Kirby?

She's in a lot of pain, but no vital organs were damaged.

You can go see her now if you want.

- Just know that we both want what's best for Kirby.

- Do we?

I meant what I said earlier.

Stay away from my daughter.

Where is Evan Tate?

Is he here?

Because if he is, and you're looking for someone to pull the plug, I will happily volunteer.

He's been treated for minor injuries and released into police custody.

He just wouldn't stop ranting on and on about how the Carringtons need to pay for their sins.

He's consistent, I'll give him that.

Well, hopefully this whole nightmare's over.

Oh.

Finally.

You certainly were at Jeff's a long time.

Were you trying to convince him to remarry you already?

Oh, Dominique, jealousy is such an ugly color on you, and green isn't so hot either.

I was worried.

Jeff isn't exactly fond off me right now.

If he found out I was involved in the diamond mine, he'd shut us down.

Relax, he has no idea.

And we need to keep it that way until he finances the dig.

I can't afford it on my own with what I'm getting in the divorce.

And what happens when he finds out he's only getting a third of the profits instead of half?

I told my attorney to take his time with the contract.

We'll be pulling diamonds out of the ground long before Jeff sees any paperwork.

And by then, he'll be so blinded with bling he won't care.

You certainly have it all planned out.

I forgot how deceitful you can be.

Speaking of plans, I'm having a small press event tomorrow to introduce my new diamond empire to the world.

I do love a good groundbreaking ceremony.

Your diamond empire?

The last I checked, I control the mineral rights.

I'll shut this whole thing down before I allow you to steal the spotlight.

Mm.

Chilled to perfection.

Thank you.

Is there anything else, Mrs.

Colby?

Yes.

Could you get me some extra olives?

Oh, and then pack your bags.

You're fired.

Be a dove and tell the rest of Blake's personal staff that they have met the same fate.

Night-night.

Well, I see it hasn't taken long for the wicked queen to settle into her castle.

Wicked?

Need I remind you I was the original queen here?

That is, until Blake banished me from the kingdom.

Oh, speaking of Blake, he suffered a horrific att*ck earlier.

I spoke with Adam, and he told me...

I meant your att*ck, mother.

Stealing his home, his company and all of his money on my wedding day.

Yes, well, while the timing is not ideal, I am not sorry for kicking him out.

Fallon, please.

I'm sorry if I ruined your wedding.

- What can I do to make it up to you?

- Hmm.

I am so glad you asked.

Hello, Alexis.

You look as haggard as ever.

What the hell is he doing here?

You want to make it up to me?

Then Blake stays here while he recovers.

And I'm gonna take care of him.

- Why do you have to take care of him?

- Because I am the reason he got hurt.

I'm the one who brought Evan into our lives.

It's only right that I'm the one who nurses him back to health.

And that happens here.

How long will that be, exactly?

As long as it takes.

I am not going anywhere until things are back to normal.

Yes, I will work / doing whatever I have to do to get Blake better.

That's right, world.

Fallon Nightingale has arrived.

Mm.

Uh, where do we keep the aspirin?

♪ - Good morning!

- [ROOSTER CROWS IN DISTANCE]

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Don't get up.

I'll help you.

- Good morning, sweetheart.

- I have your coffee.

And breakfast will be ready soon.

Here we go.

[CHUCKLES]

Okay...

This is very sweet of you, but don't you think that we should hire an actual nurse?

It's the least I could do after you saved my life.

I also ruined your wedding day fighting with Alexis.

I'm...

I'm so sorry.

I don't blame you.

I blame her.

I didn't realize that she had conned you out of everything you own.

Has anyone heard from Cristal?

Isn't she your wife?

Well, technically, but she's not answering my calls.

We had a big fight before the wedding, and she stormed out.

Let me guess, you decided to go for a second spin on my mother-in-law?

That's in the past, And so is Cristal's fling with that priest.

It doesn't matter what we were fighting about, I love her.

And I may have lost everything else, but I know that my marriage can still work.

Does she know that?

She will.

I just need to see her.

I'm gonna admit all my mistakes, I'm gonna promise no more lies.

It's gonna be the new me: Blake . .

I'm pretty sure you're up to .

Would you go to La Mirage and talk to her for me?

Get her to come here.

That's gonna be a hard pass.

I'm not getting in the middle of your marriage, but I'm sure Cristal will come to her senses and call soon enough.

Okay?

Leaving so soon?

I was hoping the night wouldn't have to end.

Uh, I, uh...

should probably get to work.

- Is everything okay?

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Being with you like this again... it feels great.

It's just breaking my oath to God, that's...

not so great.

I've put you in an uncomfortable position.

I'm sorry.

No, you don't have to be sorry.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

So if you feel the same way, I mean, if this is real, then I'll just leave the church.

Of course I feel the same way.

- Look, I am not trying to pressure you.

- You're not.

I'll talk to him soon.

I promise.

I just need to find the right time.

Wow.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Look at you, wearing an apron.

[LAUGHS]

- Fun.

Say, uh, where's the staff?

- Oh.

My egomaniacal mother went on a f*ring spree so she can bring in her own beaten-down robots.

And when will those robots be arriving?

I mean, you look like you've got things covered, but never hurts to have some help, right?

[LAUGHS]

Please, Liam.

I think I'm capable of making a simple breakfast.

Yes, I-I...

I see that, but it's a lot more than that.

I mean, caring for a bedridden person is a big job, Fallon.

So are you saying I can't do it?

No, of course not.

Just feels like bringing in a nurse to help Blake can't hurt.

Plus, that way, you and I can go get some lunch or something.

It's feeling a little claustrophobic around here.

You can't feel claustrophobic in a house with bathrooms.

- Ow!

- And I can't leave.

I am not letting a perfect stranger tend to Blake when I should be doing it myself.

- Yeah, but Fallon...

- Don't worry.

I've got everything under control.

♪ Now, watch us work it ♪

He's not in the mood for strawberries.

♪ Work it out, watch us work it... ♪

The coffee was too weak.

- ♪ Watch us work it ♪

- ♪ Work it ♪

♪ Work it out, now watch us work it... ♪

[WHIMPERS]

♪ Watch us work it... ♪

Do you know what a juice press looks like?

♪ Watch us work it, work it inside out ♪

♪ Baby, we can work it out, let's put it back together ♪

- Okay.

Oh.

- ♪ Maybe we can work it out ♪

♪ Let's put it back together... ♪

You look like you need a break.

- Ah.

- How about lunch?

Oh, that sounds great.

Can you just whip me up something simple, like a spinach and red pepper frittata with truffle cheese?

No, I mean, let's go out.

Blake will survive for an hour.

Well, you don't know that.

I mean, he's improving by the minute with me here, so, you know, why chance it?

Okay, but you do remember that we're leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow, right?

Right.

That.

You know, it's just that

- it's kind of touch and go with him...

- Okay, but you just said

- he was improving.

- Okay, well, I'm not a doctor, Liam.

- Come on.

- You see?

Kirby needs me, too.

Fallon, I'm sure between Adam And Anders, they can take care of her a little bit.

Liam, just like Blake, she could have d*ed because of me.

Okay?

And Anders, would you please move?

- Okay?

You're doing it wrong.

- Doing what wrong?

Exactly.

Here we go.

I suppose if the back lawn is the best entry point for the mine, I'll have my ceremony there.

Midafternoon should be nice.

My eyes really pop with an overhead sun.

Alexis.

Oh, excuse me just a moment.

Jeff.

I'm afraid you're a day early for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Yeah, about that.

I just spoke to my lawyer.

He said your lawyer told him the diamond profits will be split three ways?

- What gives?

- Yes.

Well...

that is because my cousin, Bob...

he gets a third.

He was left half of the mineral rights with me.

- Your cousin?

- Yes, he lives a few hours from here.

Haven't seen him in years, but his attorney said that he doesn't have the time or the capital to invest, so he generously agreed to just %.

You didn't think that's something I should know about?

I didn't want to bother you with the details.

I know how busy you are.

Still, I need to meet this guy, so, let's all do dinner tonight.

No.

His attorney said that Bob actually prefers to be a silent partner.

Mm, that's great, but I won't go into business with someone I don't know.

What if this guy tries to screw us over down the road?

He wouldn't do that.

He's family.

When money's involved, family means nothing.

I want to make sure we're protected.

Set it up, okay?

- ANDERS: I thought I made myself clear earlier.

- I was just making sure that Kirby's comfortable.

I can do that.

You're not needed here.

Adam, it's okay.

Go to work.

I want to talk to my dad alone, anyway.

He is dangerous, Kirby.

I'm gonna prove it to you.

I don't need your proof.

If this is about Adam's adoptive mom, he told me what happened,

- and I'm not worried.

- Really?

Did he mention that he was responsible for his mother's death?

He was hurt, and maybe he had good reason to be.

But he's not proud of what he did, and if he could go back and change it, he would.

That's rather convenient, don't you think?

Look, sometimes good people do bad things.

- You're a shining example of that.

- I beg your pardon?

You chose the Carringtons over your own daughter.

You sent me back to Australia when I was ten to live with a heroin-addicted mother.

You know that that was not my decision.

What I know is that Adam saved my life hours ago.

He loves me.

And so do I.

Which is why I'm trying to protect you.

I don't need your protection.

And if you don't drop this crusade against Adam, you can consider me out of your life for good.

Hey.

Brought you some smiley face stickers and some licorice.

Turns out there aren't any cards that say, "Get well soon and sorry you lost everything you own."

- [LAUGHS]

- Yes, well, I can see why a person wouldn't want to be reminded of that.

Right.

Sorry.

Look, you've been very generous to me in the past.

You could have kicked me to the curb more than once, but you didn't.

My point is, you were there for me when I needed help, and now I want to be there for you.

Well, do you have a couple extra billion laying around you want to part with?

[LAUGHS]

Not quite.

But whenever you need it, there's a suite waiting for you at La Mirage.

Comped.

That's very kind of you, and I might take you up on that offer.

You know, right now, I have another favor to ask you.

I need to see Cristal.

Would you talk to her, get her to come visit me?

Well, you know Cristal.

She doesn't do anything she doesn't want to do.

Please?

She's all I have left.

And you're my best sh*t.

Well, I do have a way with words.

Okay, fine,

- but I can't make any promises.

- Yeah.

Would you like a piece of your, um, favorite black licorice?

- God, yes.

- As a thank-you?

I'm keeping these.

How many years has this land been in the Morell family?

In the early s, our grandfather...

No, wait.

Our great grandfather bought the land with the intent to expand his corn farm.

Rice farm.

What happened to the corn?

There never was any corn.

Alexis, you can't cram years of Morell hick history into an hour.

Why on earth would you tell Jeff this ridiculous story?

He's not stupid.

He wasn't supposed to know about the third partner yet.

I panicked, okay?

You'd think a lifetime of lying would have prepared you better.

I guess I'm not the natural that you are.

- [GASPS]

- Look, Dave is a trained actor.

We simply have to convince Jeff that he's an honest guy.

You should call me Bob.

It'll help me stay in character.

See?

Training.

And what happens when Jeff looks him up?

There are R. Morells in the state of Georgia.

He is not gonna take the time to track them all down.

Don't underestimate my son!

He's suspicious by nature.

Clarification: he is suspicious of you, with good reason.

But I have done nothing but give him the best year of his life.

He's going to believe this man is my cousin.

I was thinking nephew might play better?

If hydrated skin and tightened pores don't make you feel better, then nothing will.

It's a vacation for your face.

Speaking of vacation, aren't you going on your honeymoon tomorrow?

Don't worry.

I'm not going anywhere until you and Blake are back to your old flawed yet familiar selves.

- Just enjoy the mask.

- Well, I appreciate this, Fallon, but all this clingy-friendship stuff isn't necessary.

I'm fine, and if I need medical help, I'll just call Adam.

He is a doctor.

Adam?

I wouldn't trust Dr. Jekyll to change the Band-Aid on a papercut.

No offense.

I know he's your boyfriend.

And I want to be here for you, Kirby.

I need to.

- [PHONE CHIMES, RINGS]

- Oh, that's Blake.

Hold that thought.

I'll be right back.

What's going on?

The pain is getting worse, and now I've got chills.

- Are you sure you gave me the right meds?

- Of course.

I gave you one pill at : p.m.

Or was it supposed to be two pills at : p.m.?

Well, maybe just take another, you know, to be safe?

Never mind.

Just get me my wheelchair.

Maybe if I sit

- by the fireplace, I'll feel better.

- Okay.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Now the caps come off easily.

- Childproof my ass.

- I need my reading glasses.

- Uh...

- And some hot tea would be nice.

Okay, so, uh, you want your Wheelchair,

- reading glasses and a hot tea.

I got it.

- [PHONE BUZZES]

Oh, okay.

I just need to check on Kirby.

Okay?

- Be right back.

- [SIGHS]

Can you get me some of that mocha chip ice cream that's in the freezer?

- No problem.

- Oh, better yet.

Why don't you put it

- in a blender?

I love a milkshake.

- One milkshake coming up.

And my skin's feeling a little warm.

Maybe it's time to take this off?

- Warm?

Oh.

- Yeah, tingling.

Ow!

Ow!

What are you doing?

Are you trying to peel off my face?

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

Maybe I just didn't read the directions carefully enough, you know, or at all.

Do we still have the box?

- [LOUD THUD]

- Don't move.

FALLON: Oh, my God, what happened?

I need my wheelchair.

That's what happened.

Okay, well, here, let me help you.

Okay.

Oh.

Oh.

For the love of God, I'll do it myself!

- Okay.

- Legs?

[GROANS, SIGHS]

Fallon, I appreciate you trying, but I think it's time for a real nurse.

- What do you mean?

- I mean, if you don't stop taking care of me, I'm gonna end up back in the hospital.

You're fired.

Oh, my God, what the hell happened to her?

Look what you did to my face.

I look like an overripe tomato!

Let me guess...

I'm fired?

Yes.

But I still want my milkshake first.

Wow.

Look at those two.

You know, are they nurses or yoga sluts, am I right?

I doubt we'll hear Blake complain.

Oh.

Taking care of Blake and Kirby was the only way to absolve myself of guilt.

I mean, what am I supposed to do now?

Go to confession?

I'm not even Catholic, and I don't have that kind of time anyway.

You have nothing to feel guilty about.

Now we can get some well-deserved R & R in a little place called Bora Bora.

I just don't know.

[CHUCKLES]: Okay, what am I missing here?

You can stay and be miserable, or you can come with me and get sand in places you didn't think possible.

Fallon, you need to get out of this house.

[SIGHS]

Well, I have been looking for an excuse to update my South Pacific beachwear.

I guess I could run out tonight and pick up a couple things.

That's my girl.

Wife.

- Woman.

- Mm.

[STAMMERS]

I'll leave?

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Cristal, where have you been?

You missed all the drama at the wedding.

And I'm not talking nighttime soap.

This was total daytime insanity.

I talked to Fallon.

I heard about Blake.

I'm glad he's gonna be okay.

Well, physically, probably, but, mentally, he's still on shaky ground.

Actually, a visit from you would mean a lot.

I...

I don't think it's a good idea, Sam.

Look, I know you guys have been having some marital issues.

[CHUCKLES]

I think we're way past marital issues at this point.

I'm thinking of leaving him.

For Caleb.

But I-I can't tell Blake until he's recovered.

Wow.

[EXHALES]

Okay.

So things went from zero to Fleabag pretty quickly with this guy.

Well, you should know that I offered Blake a room here

- at La Mirage.

- What?

Yeah.

So if you're really going through with this, you need to tell Blake the truth.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[CHUCKLING]

Oh, Bob, I had forgotten what a wicked sense of humor you have.

Well, it runs in the Morell family, I guess.

So, Alexis tells me that you are a former owner of the Atlantix.

You ran a great organization.

I've been a season ticket holder ever since the beginning.

That's great.

But I'd love to hear more about you.

- [CHUCKLES]

- What was it like growing up with Alexis?

[CHUCKLES]

You two must have some fun stories.

- Well...

- Uh, well, I wouldn't say that we grew up together.

Yeah.

My family moved around a lot.

Uh, moved around for a job.

His father was a hardworking

- and honest man.

- Mm.

Attributes that have definitely rubbed off on Bob.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, I've always felt that honesty is the best policy.

Bob, it's your lucky day.

I'm gonna buy you out of your share of the mineral rights.

ALEXIS: What?

[STAMMERS]

But, Jeff, we don't even know how much the land is worth.

It wouldn't be right to make an offer.

Mm.

I think the zeroes on this check are more than fair.

Plus, you said he wanted to be a silent partner.

Right?

[CHUCKLES]

- [CHUCKLES]

- JEFF: You seem like a good guy.

And you're family.

So...

I want to do you this solid.

Hmm.

Got to say, I'm a little offended.

My uncle left me those mineral rights to keep them in the Morell family and away from the Carrington greed.

I only showed up tonight to see if you were on the level.

See, I've had a lot of family members take advantage of me in the past, looking for payouts.

I'm not gonna let that happen here.

Your offer is declined.

JEFF: Well, believe me, I certainly know a thing or two about family looking for payouts.

Apologies if I offended you.

Uh, it's a little late for communion, isn't it?

We're celebrating.

I'm telling Blake tomorrow that I'm leaving him.

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

No more stalling, no more excuses.

It's time you and I took a step forward.

♪ [HUMMING SOFTLY]

[CREAKING]

Hello?

[CREAKING]

[WHIMPERING]

[MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]

[EXHALES]

Culhane!

What are you doing?

You can't just be creeping up on people like that!

I didn't know entering through the front door was considered creeping up.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Why wouldn't I be?

You're holding a candlestick.

Because...

I'm getting the silver cleaned.

And I'm late.

Okay then.

I was just here to visit Kirby anyway.

'Kay.

Okay.

[DOOR CREAKING]

[CREATURES CHITTERING]

- [CREATURE SNARLING]

- No.

ANDERS: I know that you're responsible for your mother's death.

- I spoke to her nurse.


Shelly?

- Shelly?

Yeah, she's confused, and so are you if you think these threats mean anything to me.

She left me written testimony, explaining how you offered to pay her in exchange for her silence on the matter.

Classic he said/she said.

- It's not exactly proof, is it?

- Still, must stir up your emotions.

I think we're done here.

So how did you do it?

Did you sneak up behind her, like you did with Alexis when you shoved her in the fire?

We're not talking about Alexis, are we?

And I didn't sneak up on anyone.

Oh, my mistake.

Perhaps you'd been plotting to k*ll her for years.

No.

No, that's not true.

Isn't it?

She must have caused you a lot of pain to push you that far.

- The woman raised you.

- That's enough.

Did you enjoy watching her suffer?

I made sure she slipped away in her sleep, which is more than she deserved after lying to me my whole life.

Thank you.

A recorded confession is always helpful in these situations.

That'll never be admissible in court.

Perhaps not.

But it should be enough to reopen the investigation.

Kirby may not care about your past, but I do.

I'm sure the police will as well.

Enjoy your sandwich.

[LAUGHS SOFTLY]

JEFF: Well, I see Kirby has no shortage of visitors.

How's she doing?

Eh, pretty good, considering what she's been through.

Uh, she'll be happy to see you.

By the way, I looked into that season ticket holder you asked about, Bob Morell?

Yeah, let me guess, the guy hasn't paid for his tickets, probably all sorts of credit issues?

I wouldn't know.

We don't have any season ticket holders by that name.

- Bob or Robert Morell.

- Wait, what?

Ever?

- Are you sure?

- I double-checked.

Are you sure you got the right guy?

No.

I'm not sure about anything anymore.

Oh, you're still here.

I'm just getting measurements for my decorator.

Making sure there's room for your snake pit?

Oh, still witty, even in a wheelchair.

Perhaps you can wheel yourself out of here sooner rather than later?

Not to worry, I'll be moving into La Mirage soon enough.

What a wonderful idea.

Maybe you can get adjoining suites with Cristal and her new boyfriend.

You know, I got to hand it to you, your lies are always entertaining.

You know, usually they are, but this truth is just way more delicious.

I saw Cristal and the priest, and they were looking rather... unholy.

What are you talking about?

Surely you knew she was still seeing him?

Oh, another marriage in shambles.

I guess third time wasn't the charm after all.

I have a little surprise that I think you're going to like.

Is it chocolate chip cookies for the flight?

'Cause the jet's waiting, so I'm not sure what's going on here.

- Step.

- Step.

Whoa.

What's going on is that we don't need the jet, because we have already arrived at our destination.

Welcome to our backyard honeymoon.

♪ Surprise.

Fallon, what did you do?

I think you mean, what didn't I do?

Tiki bar?

Check.

Polynesian cuisine?

Check.

And that is actual beach sand flown in from Bora Bora.

It's gonna feel like we're actually there.

But you realize we actually could be there, right?

We just have to get on the plane.

Why did you go to all this trouble?

Well, I was thinking and, you know, vacationing in public after my father and best friend were injured at our wedding?

The optics aren't great.

I mean, we'd get hammered in the press.

So, that's it?

Optics?

Are you sure there's nothing else going on with you?

Not unless you mean scuba lessons in the pool in an hour.

Oh...

Let's get this honeymoon started.

Come on!

Anders.

A moment, please?

I've been tortured by this decision for minutes, and though you will always hold a special place in my heart...

I wasn't aware you had one.

Dry wit aside, I think it's best you vacate the Manor.

After all, your loyalty lies with Blake.

I take your point, but I have no intention of going anywhere.

Does anybody understand what "homeowner" means?

I'm not leaving Kirby while she recovers.

And I'm certainly not leaving her alone with your deranged son.

Uh...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Will you excuse us, please?

Thank you.

Aren't you getting a little tired of this witch hunt?

Even the Lord rested on the seventh day.

I know you were pushed into the fire by Adam.

What I don't know is why you would forgive him.

Because he's my son.

Having him in my life is more important to me than anything.

The man tried to k*ll you.

Yes, well, he can get a little rambunctious.

Adam was hurt by past mistakes that I made.

But we both have moved beyond our hurt so we can remain in each other's lives.

At the end of the day, keeping our children in our lives is all that matters.

- Here.

- Fallon, it's not that I don't appreciate the effort that you put into this, it's just, uh, I don't know, it's just not quite the same.

That just requires a fair amount of tequila and a little imagination.

And close your eyes.

- Close your eyes.

- Okay.

You feel that warm island breeze?

It's nice, right?

Not bad.

It's starting to feel more like a honeymoon now.

Oh, you see?

Of course it is.

It's just me and you alone

- on the beach.

- [REPORTERS CLAMORING]

What the hell?

[CLAMORING CONTINUES]

Well, so much for alone on the beach.

No, no, no, just consider them island natives, okay?

They'll be gone soon enough.

- It's kind of hard to ignore the noise.

- No.

It's not.

We just need some tropical music, that's all.

Tropical music?

Oh, wow.

- Aw.

- ALEXIS: Thank you for being here.

It is only through hard work and dedication that I stand here today.

I had a vision, a vision that combined luxury and elegance and a whole lot of bling.

So...

...without further ado, today we break ground on the Alexis Carrington Diamond Company.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

JEFF: Show's over, people.

Jeff!

I'm glad you made it...

Yeah, save it, all right?

This guy isn't your cousin.

Of course he is.

When I found out that there's no season ticket holder at the Atlantix named Bob Morell, I did some research.

A little something I pulled from the La Mirage security camera, ran it through my facial ID and discovered his name is Dave Powell, some local, out-of-work actor.

Excuse me, I have a pizza commercial running throughout the southeast.

Who's the third partner, Alexis?

You can tell me now or I'll figure it out for myself.

Wait!

Wait!

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

It's me!

I'm the third partner!

I own the mineral rights.

What?

I wanted to tell you the truth, but she forced me to lie.

[REPORTERS CLAMORING]

Nothing better than a poolside massage.

- Am I right?

- Yeah, except for a poolside massage with some privacy.

Which we, oh, clearly don't have.

Oh, don't be silly, nobody's looking over here.

We're basically alone.

SAM: Hey.

No one told me there was a party going on down here.

Mmm.

- Are you gonna drink this?

- No, please don't...

Thank you, bye.

- How could you do this me?

- ALEXIS: Jeff, please, calm down.

Yes, it's true, Dominique holds the mineral rights.

But you are still gonna get a healthy share of the profits.

I don't care about the damn money.

I can't trust you anymore.

And I don't do business with people I can't trust.

- Wait.

- It's over.

I'm pulling my money out of this little circus show and shutting it down.

You can all go home!

No!

No, no, no, no, no.

We don't want to go home!

- Of course I'm not gonna backstab...

- You got my back?

- Of course I have...

- This is how you got my back?

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Off the lawn and go home.

Okay, yeah, yeah, I think we're done here.

No, no, no, no, no!

We can't leave paradise.

We have to stay.

Look, if you're hungry, we'll eat here!

I ordered a pig on a spit!

- Fallon, come on!

- Please don't leave, okay?

I promise you, it's all gonna blow over.

I'm done with this, Fallon!

Look, I don't know what's going on with you, but when you're ready to talk about it, just let me know.

Liam.

You can start packing whatever cardboard box you showed up here with.

How dare you turn on me

- out there?

- All part of my plan.

Jeff had already given up on you.

I thought I might be able to curry some favor and get the money we need.

And how did that go, exactly?

Okay, today was a fail.

Surely there's another way to get the money.

- How about a bank loan?

- We need millions.

And I'm not willing to put up the manor as collateral after all I did to get it.

There's always another way.

- Mrs.

Colby, this just came for you.

- Thank you.

Oh, how fitting.

My divorce papers from Jeff.

Wait, what?

You mean you haven't signed anything yet?

[CHUCKLES]

- I hear you were looking for me?

- Yeah, I need you to get me a box of my Cubans from that shop in town.

The Smokers Hut?

But you only get those when you lose a big deal.

Well, in a way I have.

- I may have lost Cristal.

- Oh.

Sounds like you had a crap-filled day, too.

I'll send someone out for those cigars.

No, your mother fired my staff.

Please, would you just do this for me?

No, I, uh...

I can't...

I can't leave right now.

- Why not?

- Because I can't.

- Because why?

- Because I'm afraid!

Okay?

I...

I thought that I was staying here because I felt guilty about what happened to you and Kirby, but I don't feel guilty at all.

Well, that's more like the Fallon I know.

This place is a safe zone for me.

And I'm afraid to go out into the world.

I mean, I trusted Evan, and look how wrong I was.

What if I can't trust my own judgment anymore?

I'll just be out, alone, in the world making bad decisions that could get people stabbed.

Fallon, you can't trust everyone, but you do have one person you can trust.

Someone who's gonna look out for you.

That's what marriage is about.

You're not alone.

No.

You're right, I'm married, or...

at least I hope I still am.

I have to go.

Oh, and the Blake Carrington I know would never give up this easily.

So if you don't want to be alone, and you really want Cristal...

...go fight for her.

[LAUGHING]

Wait, that's a seven.

- No, no, that's right.

It was right.

- Oh, no, that's a five.

Hey, I'll-I'll be back in a while.

No, no, please stay.

This concerns you both.

I've thought about it and I've realized that I myself have a few things in my past that I'm not terribly proud of.

Turns out, good people can do bad things.

I shouldn't be holding Adam to a higher standard than I do myself.

Therefore, I won't be going to the police with the information I gathered and I'll delete the recording.

I'm glad to hear that.

I can see how much you care for my daughter.

And, Kirby, given time, I hope that you'll realize how much I care for you, as well.

This is a great start.

CRISTAL: Blake?

Is this a bad time?

No, your timing's perfect.

Will you excuse us?

You look good.

I hope you're feeling better.

I am...

now.

I missed you so much.

In fact...

I was hoping we could work things out.

Blake, that's why I'm here.

- I wanted to talk to you...

- I know that I've put CA ahead of you far too many times, and I was wrong.

You are the top priority in my life, as you always should've been.

Blake, I really need to...

Oh!

Ow!

Sorry.

It's just...

Oh, these ice packs.

Just so uncomfortable.

Well, that's because they're in the wrong place.

Your inflammation will never go down at this rate.

Here.

And what were those silly stretches your PT had you doing?

She's doing a terrible job.

Forgot what a great therapist you are.

Hey, maybe you could leave me some exercises

- to try.

- [STAMMERS]

I-I guess I could write up a list.

I mean, you know, it's not as good as the real thing, but anything to speed along my recovery.

Or, I suppose, I could take over as your therapist.

Oh, honey, that-that's very generous of you,

- but I don't deserve that.

- You also don't deserve to suffer due to incompetence.

If you want, I'll help.

But for PT only.

I'm not moving back in and we're not back together.

This is just to get you walking again.

I can't believe you would do that.

I'll go get you a fresh ice pack.

Did I screw things up enough?

Oh, you...

were wonderfully bad.

You are hereby replaced.

Hmm.

So...

I'm ready to talk now.

I was afraid to leave the manor.

Yeah, I kind of figured that out.

I know I should have talked to you about it.

I don't know why I didn't.

But I guess I'm just...

not used to having a husband.

I mean, I've only been married

- hours.

- Yeah.

But what a great hours it's been.

Yeah.

And now I know that if the whole world turns on me, I have someone in my corner I can trust.

Now and forever.

That's what husbands are for, among other things.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

A toast to our diamond mine soon to be back on track.

- Diamonds really are a girl's best friend.

- Mm.

- [CHUCKLES]

- [DOOR OPENS]

Jeff!

What a wonderful surprise.

So you didn't sign the divorce papers.

You looking for more money, I assume?

Do you really think you can blackmail me into paying for your little diamond dream?

Oh, blackmail is so pedestrian.

I simply realized I deserve more in the divorce.

Well, I see you've chosen sides.

You know, turning your back on family certainly keeps you consistent.

- Jeff, sweetheart, it's not like that.

- Oh, don't bother, okay?

The fact that you're here speaks volumes.

But neither of you are getting a dime from me.

Then this divorce is going to get very ugly.

It will.

I offered you this house in our settlement as a goodwill gesture, but as long as we're still married, I own half of it, and I'm moving in until this is settled.

- You can't do that.

- Oh, but I can.

You want ugly?

You're about to get your wish.
