- Hey, babe.
- FALLON: Hey.

I got to jump in the shower
and get to La Mirage.

It's the last day of filming.

Wow, I can't believe

- it's already over.
- I know, right?

I mean,
we're still editing and everything,

- but yeah, it really did just fly by.
- Um...

What time do you think
you'll be home tonight?

Ah, I mean, we're sh**ting pretty late,

so I was just gonna crash at the hotel,

if that's okay.

But hey, how about we celebrate

the movie wrapping tomorrow night?

- Okay? Just you and me.
- Yeah.

Yeah, that'll be perfect. Just us.

- We can celebrate everything.
- Okay.

- I can't wait.
- Me neither.

♪ ♪

(SIGHS)

Don't you think this
is a little excessive

for just the two of us?

Well, to be honest,
we don't have lobster frittatas

and Golden Reserve caviar every day,

but I wanted your first meal

since moving in to be something special.

- It's delicious.
- I am so thrilled

that we are finally living
under the same roof.

Well, I am equally thrilled,

but I am not sure that everyone will be.

Does Adam know that I've moved in?

Not unless you said something.
I haven't told him yet.

Perfect.

It'll be delightful when he finds out.

Hey, Adam is in a really
good place these days.

He'll be fine.

He's working on some
top secret wonder drug

for Alexam that he claims will
take him to the next level

- of... something.
- Hmm.

- I wonder what the big secret is.
- ADAM: Oh, yay,

lobster and caviar for breakfast.

Oh, wow, Amanda for breakfast.

- Don't worry, I'm almost finished.
- ADAM: Good.

I don't know how early
you had to leave Alexis's

just to get over here for
a free breakfast, but, uh,

let's not to make a habit out of it,
all right?

Well, actually,
maybe you should get used to it,

seeing as how I-I live here now.

Oh, uh, could I get some more

of that French jam, please?

- Thank you.
- I'm sorry, What?

Oh, it is this amazing jam

that they flew in from France.

No, I know about the jam.

- She's kidding, right?
- Of course not.

- It's wonderful news, isn't it?
- Would you like to join us?

It's bad enough I have to see
you at the hospital every day.

So what? You just gonna be

- here all the time?
- AMANDA: Well, maybe

you could move out whenever you want.

I actually think everyone
would help you pack.

That's enough, both of you!

- She started it.
- He started it.

I'm finishing it.

Now, be the adults

that I know the both of you are

and please, try to get along.

(WHISPERING): You're lucky he saved you.

Oh, were you going
to k*ll me with carbs?

Please. I'm here to stay.

Hey.

Hey, man, welcome back.

How'd it, um...
how'd it go in Venezuela?

(SIGHS) It was a rough few days.

Even though I only knew
Daniel for a little while,

it was still painful to say goodbye.

- Thanks for asking, buddy.
- Yeah, yeah, of course, man.

- I see you're still working on your movie.
- Yeah. We, uh,

we actually finish sh**ting tonight.

We're filming the final scene,

when Lionel finally wins over Farrah.

I remember that pretty well.

When you made your move

and basically stole Fallon from Culhane.

I didn't steal Fallon from Culhane.

Maybe Lionel didn't, but Liam did.

What are you talking about?

When Liam kept manipulating
ways to get Fallon alone,

and then he told her he loved her

while she was still engaged to Culhane.

- And then...
- Okay, okay.

I get it, and why do you
remember all these details?

Are you writing a book about my life?

- Because I already did that.
- What's past is past.

That's why it's called "the past."

True love won,

and it was clearly the
best thing for everyone.

So, you're allowed
a little creative license.

- That's not what's happening.
- Just forget I brought it up, okay?

I'm sure whatever you wrote

is exactly how it happened...

Lionel.

I'm so happy the two of
you said yes to breakfast.

- It was my pleasure.
- I wasn't really sensing a choice.

It is important to me that the
two most significant people

in my life

get to know one another.
I even gave the staff

the day off so we could be alone

to connect on a deeper level.

That sounds creepy.

Well, I love that idea

and I'm happy to do the dishes.

ALEXIS: That is so sweet.

And ridiculous.

The staff will be happier
to do them tomorrow.

So, Fallon,
if half of what your mother says

about you is true,
you are a remarkable person.

I don't think half of
what my mother says

about anything is true.

(LAUGHING)

Fallon. You have had your
face buried in that phone

since you got here.

- The Wordle can't be that hard.
- Hmm?

Oh. No, I got some big news this morning

and I have to make an appointment

with my...
accountant to, uh, confirm it.

- So...
- Oh.

DEX: Well, I'm not looking to
overstep boundaries,

but I do run a relatively
successful hedge fund.

So, I know my way around
money if you need help.

Mmm. I love the boundaries.

How about you stay on
your side of breakfast

and I'll stay on mine?

- Maybe we should do this another time.
- No.

FALLON: Ooh, agreed.

Let's pencil something in
for two months from now.

That way, I can easily erase it
when you are no longer around.

I'm sorry, but he feels a little more

boy toy than boyfriend right now.

Fallon Morell Carrington...

Oh, that's fine. You can be

mad at me, but I'm the only one

looking out for you. I know guys

like him, and I know you.

You two will be bored of
each other in two weeks.

Well, that was worse than expected.

- I think I'm going to go.
- No, Dex, please.

- I don't want you to leave.
- I think it's for the best. (CLEARS THROAT)

I spent a winter in Antarctica
and it wasn't this cold.

Well, maybe we could
have dinner tonight?

I promise, Fallon will not be there.

I'm flying out of town tomorrow
and I have a lot to do.

Tell Fallon I said goodbye.
If she notices I'm gone.

I've been looking for you.

I did not think to look in my chair.

Just, uh, going over some final
details for the airport opening.

I can't believe it's
only two weeks away.

I'm so excited that we're doing

this together, as equal partners.

I can feel the corporate tycoon energy

- racing through my veins.
- Well, I don't want to be

a blood clot, but I have some bad news.

We failed yesterday's inspection,

because our radar tower
wasn't up to code.

- So now what?
- Well, if we don't get

proper certification this week,

we'll have to postpone our opening.

No, we can't do that. The Flores
board is breathing down my neck

to prove that their sizable
investment in the merger

- was worth the risk.
- Well, I can try

to grease some palms,

but most of them are currently
giving me the middle finger.

I'll look into some
possible solutions as well.

I didn't realize that you knew
people that build radar towers.

I don't know people
who build radar towers.

But I need our airport to open
on schedule, so I will find some.

Well, thank you for squeezing me in.

Okay, I'll see you this afternoon.

Whoa!

Why are you all up in my face?

Also, you should call

Dr. Gellar and have that
frown line taken care of.

Where's your gentleman caller?

Dex left because of
your bitchy attitude.

I told you

I was too busy for
breakfast this morning.

I have a lot going on

and there was something that I needed

- to take care of.
- Like what?

Like...

I don't like your vibe right now,

so maybe it's not a good time.

Oh, you are impossible.

You know, I need to go find Dex

and apologize before he leaves town.

Good, don't let me stop you.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Hi, there. We're here
to service your refrigerator?

Oh, right. Freon leak?

Actually, what is freon?
I read it was dangerous.

Or was that radon? No, it's freon.

Freon is the dangerous one.

- (GASPS)
- ZANE: Be quiet and nobody gets hurt.

Looks like freon is the least
of our worries right now.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

I have a bad feeling about this.

I would rather try to bribe

the Governor of Georgia,
who I know hates me,

- than come here for help.
- I've done the research.

This is our only sh*t
to fix the radar tower

without delays.

Unless you have another solution

- you're not telling me about.
- No. No, I don't.

But since we're here,
just let me do all the talking.

Huh, Blake, Cristal.

Nice to see you.

I'd say I'm sorry to
have kept you waiting,

but you two left my
husband and I waiting naked

in a hotel room, so I'm not that sorry.

You're right. We should have
said something before we left.

- (CHUCKLES)
- We were intrigued

by your offer for a joint
experience together,

but got nervous and handled it poorly.

SONYA:
I guess I shouldn't be that surprised.

Blake was much more bark
than bite in college.

Though we really were into
some biting that night.

BLAKE: Okay, Sonya.

I think you've milked
the awkwardness enough.

Can we just get on with it?

We know that your company

does large-scale electrical work,

including building and
installing radar towers.

Now, we don't need a new one built,

but we do need one brought up
to code... in a week.

All right.

Henry and I would be glad to help.

- Great.
- But if you need it that fast,

it's gonna come with a mark-up.

How much?

percent.

What?! Are you insane?

Oh, this is just punishment
for us not biting.

Believe me,
I would love to punish you, Blake.

And if you'd stayed that night,
you'd know.

But this is business.

And rush jobs are costly.

Look, why don't you guys take
the day to think about it?

The day?

And then, come to our house tonight

for a little party and we can talk.

It's going to be a wonderful
evening of fun and games.

ZANE: All we want
is the jewelry you got from Cartier.

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

You posted your shopping trip
on your social media feed

and narrated the whole thing.

You did what?

Have you learned nothing
from the Kardashians?

My followers expect bold content.

I don't post boring pictures
of my feet by the pool.

Okay, well, maybe if you did,

we wouldn't have a g*n
pointed at us right now.

Shut your mouths.
This isn't couples therapy.

Give me your phones
and get on the floor.

Tie their hands behind their backs.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I have a lot going on,

so will you just let me know

if I get any calls or texts?

ALEXIS: Okay. So here's the thing...

(PHONES CHIMING)

(GRUNTING)

- Follow me!
- Whoa.

AMANDA: Why are you here
and when are you leaving?

The hospital's insurance carrier

needs the legal department
to review these cases

to make sure they're
consistent with recent changes

in insurance law.

Shouldn't take you too long.

You're slamming me
with needless busywork.

How juvenile.

How you.

You know,

you may be untouchable at home,

but here at the hospital,

I'm chief of staff,
and I make the rules.

So if you don't want to play by them,
you can just quit.

It really would make
life more pleasurable

for the both of us.

Or maybe just me.

You're very funny.

And quite sad.

But, um... I absolutely won't quit

and I can handle
anything you throw at me.

- So...
- Oh, sister,

you haven't even seen me throw yet.

Bring the rest in.

♪ ♪

You cannot be serious.

ADAM: Well,
I should let you get back to work.

You have a lot on your plate.

BLAKE: There is no way

we are attending Sonya and Henry's
"night of fun,"

which is obviously just
their way of saying "orgy."

We are out of options, Blake.

Either we go to the party or we postpone

the airport opening,
which we can't afford to do.

I don't care. I am done
with those two hedonists.

We don't have to have sex with them

to get a better price.
We just have to show up.

Sonya is challenging us
to see if we're scared.

It's all a mind game. Besides...

I have been dying to
wear this new outfit.

And Sexfest seems like
the perfect place for it.

I have a better idea.
Why don't you put that on here

and then I will eagerly
take it off of you.

Interesting.

I'll put it on for you,

but you can't take it off
until we get to the orgy.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm kidding.

But wear something
super sexy just in case.

We don't want to stand
out for the wrong reasons.

ALEXIS: We'll be safe in here.

It's my panic room.

Did you say panic room or day spa?

What?
I installed all the essentials in case

I ever needed to seek refuge.

I wanted to put in a hot tub,
but the condo board

- was completely unyielding.
- Okay, so I'm just curious.

Now that you have locked us in here,

how and when do we get out?

Easy.

I push this security button

which sounds the alarm
and calls the police.

Butch and Sundance out there
will realize they need to leave

and we can walk out when they do.

(CLICKS)

Please tell me it's a silent alarm.

It is not.

ZANE (OVER INTERCOM):
I know you're in there.

Very clever.

That's right.
The police have been called

and are on their way.

ZANE (OVER INTERCOM):
We cut the phone wires

as soon as we got here,
so the police are not coming.

Especially since we have your phones.

And we're not leaving until
we get what we came for.

- So tell us where the jewelry is...
- (MOUTHING)

- ...or settle in while we search the place.
- (WHISPERS): Tell them.

(WHISPERS): No.

- Okay, your funeral.
- (SIGHS)

- (GLASS BREAKING)
- (GASPS)

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- I'll only need a minute

of the chief of staff's valuable time.

Come in.

If you've come to resign,
I will need it in writing.

Uh... No, you know,

verbal will be fine. You know what?

Just a simple head nod and we're good.

You've misdiagnosed the situation,
Doctor.

As usual. I'm not quitting.

- Then get out.
- Unfortunately, there has been a leak

in the confidential hospital files, so,

Legal is gonna need to check
every computer to determine the culprit.

No need. Obviously,
I would never do such a thing.

Don't touch my computer.

Uh, I'm sure
that you're telling the truth.

I mean, there is obviously
a first time for everything. But

we'll snatch it up anyway to make sure

- you're not hiding anything.
- This is preposterous.

- You can't do this.
- Well, you can

take it up with Legal.

Oh, wait, that's me.

Motion denied.

Shall we?

You know what? That pressing
is getting really annoying.

And I am starting to feel a
little claustrophobic in here.

Come on.

- ZANE: Hey, Instagram star, we haven't found...
- (GASPS)

...the jewelry,
but we did find your safe.

So, combination, please?

Sure, left, go to hell,
right, choke on it.

What is the matter with you?

No piece of jewelry is
worth getting k*lled over.

- Easy for you to say when it's not your jewelry.
- You know what?

On second thought,
maybe it's better if I do get k*lled.

That way,
I won't have to spend another hour

in this room with someone
as selfish as you.

I am your mother.

Are there no bounds to your rudeness?

(SIGHS)

Fine.

, , .

- What is that?
- The date I divorced your father.

Oh, that's charming.

So, which bottle of wine pairs
best with a home invasion?

- Not in the mood to drink.
- Wow.

That's the first time I've
ever heard you say that.

But the more I think about it,

I don't think I'm gonna drink, either.

ZANE (OVER INTERCOM): Hey.

There's nothing in the
safe but costume jewelry.

Tell us where the real piece is.

Over my dead body!

All right. Just to be clear, she said

over her dead body, not mine.

ZANE (OVER INTERCOM): We're not
leaving without what we came for.

We need to get out of here,
I have a crucial

appointment this afternoon
that I cannot miss.

Oh, you think I don't need to leave?

I need to go find Dex and
apologize before he leaves

the country for the next three weeks.

I am not telling them a thing!

What do you think is gonna happen?

Do you think that the robbers
are just gonna get bored

and they're gonna move on?

Or do you think that
they've booked another

home invasion appointment
on a different floor?

They'll leave if they think
the police are coming.

But they know that the
police aren't coming.

Well, then we need to fix that,
don't we?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Everybody got my rewritten scene, right?

Uh, yeah,

- we all got them...
- But?

But Nina wants to sh**t
it the way that it was.

- That's not gonna to happen.
- Uh, you can take it up with Nina,

but I don't think she's
gonna change her mind.

Which one do you like better?
The old one or the new one?

I'm just the producer.

Okay, my job is
to keep things on schedule

and not go over budget.

So if Nina wants to sh**t it this way,

then I'm perfectly fine with that.

Yeah, of course you are. All right,

maybe you don't like the rewrite
because Cutler is acting super shady

and unworthy of Farrah's love.

Which is clearly why she runs to Lionel.

Okay.

If it were up to me, which it is not,

I would say we sh**t the good version,

which is the original.

Like I said,
you can take it up with Nina,

but she wants to sh**t this one.

Now what're you gonna sh**t?

Very mature,

but you know we have other copies.

It was symbolic.

BLAKE: Let's get this over with.

Relax, we're gonna be fine.

And you look hot.

Well, thank you,
but remember, we agreed.

We're not getting involved

in any of Sonya's sex-crazed fantasies.

The second someone asks for lubricant,

we are out the door.

Uh-oh.

- What the hell?
- CRISTAL: I think we're a little

- undressed.
- (GASPS)

Welcome to our night of fun.

I love what you're both wearing.

Makes me wish I was
wearing a little less.

We thought... Never mind.

SONYA: Great.
So, game night's about to start.

Shall we make our way
to the living room?

- Hello.
- Kirby. Hi!

Welcome home.

- Thank you so much for coming.
- I got your text

when I got off the plane from
Milan and came straight here.

- (CHUCKLES)
- I really appreciate it.

(CLEARS THROAT)

I'm assuming you want
to talk about the, uh...

the kiss, right?

Well, I mean, you're with Charlie,
so we can just

forget that ever happened. (CHUCKLES)

Okay...

So what do you need me for, then?

I hope it has nothing to do

with the mountains of paper in here.

'Cause, technically,
I didn't finish high school.

Well, actually, it is related,
'cause Adam is trying to bury me

so that I quit or am fired.

So, I need to fight back.

He's working on this new
top secret drug project

and I found these cryptic
exchanges on his computer

between him and the
Customs Commissioner,

and also certain Google
searches which imply

that he has imported a drug illegally.

Okay, whoa, whoa. Slow down.
I'm still on Italy time.

(CHUCKLES)

You hacked his computer?

Well, no, no, I'm not Jeff Colby.

But I had security take it.

I mean, I had my suspicions

that he was doing something illegal.

I mean,
considering he stole his last formula

from the other doctor, but this...

this is way worse than I imagined.

- I'm still waiting for the me part.
- Right.

Um, I'm hoping that you
could go and talk to Adam

in his lab and, you know, find out what

and where this illegal substance is.

Altolà, altolà.

You want me to spy on my ex-boyfriend?

That's why you texted me?

Si?

This sibling feud is
ridiculous and out of control,

and I don't want any part of it.

But if Adam gets his way, I...
I could be deported.

And-and-and I could lose my job

and be forced to go back to the UK.

Well, I don't want
to see you get deported.

Me neither.

Fine.

I'll see what I can find out.
But I'm not promising anything.

Of course not. I really appreciate it.

This is the night of fun and games?

Looks like fun to me.

BLAKE:
Getting that radar tower deal done

is business, not fun.

I didn't come here to play kids' games.

SONYA: No.

It looks like you both are dressed

to play adult games, if you ask me.

BLAKE: Is Henry around?

While you guys are playing candy cones,

maybe he and I can hash out a deal.

Henry's around somewhere.

But what if there's an opportunity

right here for you to get what you want.

- Yeah? Well, how many people do I have to sleep with?
- Blake.

One game. You win,
you get your tower at cost,

plus two years of free maintenance.

I win, you pay me percent over cost.

The price went up?

What's the game?

Well, I like high stakes mind games.

But they're not for everyone.

I thrive on high stakes mind games.

What is it, huh?

Liar's Poker?

Ace tres?

m*rder?

Rock Paper Scissors.

Are you sure about this?

Nobody outsmarts Blake Carrington.

Let's do this.

I'm ready to rock.

Or am I ready to scissor?

Patience.

Let me explain how we do it here.

We use gold, silk, and katana swords.

Gold bashes katana.

Katana slices silk.

And silk covers gold.

And the winner gets to keep the gold.

- (APPLAUSE)
- Would you, uh, give us a second?

Sonya's choosing the sword.

She'd feel more powerful
slicing with it.

She probably knows

you're telling me that right now.

No, I've got this, okay?

I've known her way longer than you.

But I know how she thinks.

Let's do this.

- Rock. Paper. Scissors.
- SONYA: Rock. Paper. Scissors.

Ha! (GRUNTS)

(GUESTS GASPING)

(GRUNTING)

- (GUESTS EXCLAIM)
- (SIGHS)

I win. You lose.

Thanks for coming.

(APPLAUSE)

(GUESTS WHOOPING)

Is now really the time to
celebrate with some wine?

I thought you and I were coming up

with a plan to get
these guys out of here.

No one is having wine. This is the plan.

Come on, help me move this.

(GRUNTING)

Is this really a plan

- or am I just helping you redecorate?
- Here.

Okay.
Now, crank the tanning bed up to high.

But, like, bacon-crisper high.

And then, with a little luck,
it will trigger the alarm

- on the wine fridge.
- And then, what?

The wine police will come?

- (BEEPING)
- Oh, we can play the alarm over the intercom.

And they'll think we got
the alarm going again.

But what if they know
it's not the police alarm?

You think these idiots
know the difference?

I'm pretty sure they don't own

a $ , wine fridge.

Why do you have a $ , wine
fridge in your panic room?

Mmm.

(ALARM BEEPING)

ZANE (OVER INTERCOM): Crap!
We got to go.

Just grab what you can.

(CHUCKLES)

Hello? Mr. Robbers?

I'll tell you where the diamond is now.

Hello?

(LAUGHS)

- They're gone.
- I have to say,

- I am very impressed with you.
- Mmm.

Now, let's get the hell out of here.

(GROANING)

Is there some secret
way to open this thing?

It's a door, Fallon. No.

- Uh-oh.
- What "uh-oh"?

The door and the phone must
use the same power source,

which they cut, so we're locked in.

Now I'm less impressed with you.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES, FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Woo! (CHUCKLING)

Hey, stranger.

Stranger is right.

- What are you doing here, Kirby?
- My iPad d*ed

on my flight back from Milan,

and I just... I don't know.

I just wanted to check in,

make sure our friendship is still solid.

That's so thoughtful.

But the timing is odd,

considering the fact that we're
not really friends anymore.

So, if you don't mind...

Right, you're busy.

I can feel the science
happening in here.

Are you working on
something new and exciting?

I am developing an antiaging injectable

which is going to be revolutionary.

That sounds amazing.
Is there a, uh, secret ingredient?

Indeed there is.

♪ ♪

- It's in these bottles?
- Yeah.

What is it?

You promise not to tell anyone?

Of course I promise.

Okay, but this stays between us.

All right?

The secret ingredient

is a tropical plant called
"how stupid do you think I am?"

Oh. That was... (CHUCKLING)

It was for me, not the name.

- Somebody sent you here to spy on me.
- What?

You're being paranoid, silly Billy.

God, you are not a good spy.
Um, so, who sent you?

- Jeff? Alexis?
- Wow.

You really do have a lot of enemies.

So it's neither of those, so...

Was it Amanda?

Kirby, why are you working
for that monster?

Monster? Amanda isn't the monster.

You're the one trying to fire her

- and get her deported.
- (SCOFFS)

Uh, first of all, I can't fire her.

And even if I could,

her visa isn't connected to her job.

She has American parents.
So she can't get deported.

So she lied to manipulate
you to do this.

So who's the monster?

AMANDA: Oh, did you speak to Adam?

Yes, and we need to talk.

Oh, I know. I've been dying to call you,

but I didn't want to just in
case you were still with him.

So, did you find out anything?

Uh, well,
I found out the secret ingredient

he uses is locked in a
high-tech refrigerator.

Is that it or...

- is there anything else?
- I learned that you're a liar

who tried to manipulate me by
making me feel bad for you.


I also learned that your
visa has nothing to do

with your job, and, yeah,

- I think that was about it.
- Look,

I'm-I-m so sorry, Kirby. I-I...

I shouldn't have said that.
I was panicking

and I needed help and
it kind of came out.

Mmm, yeah. Well, even if I believed you

which I don't,

it's nothing compared
to what you did to me

the night I left for Milan.

Uh, I'm sorry, what I did to you?

From what I recall,
you're the one that kissed me.

Only because you were
going on and on about

how you had these feelings
for me and I was confused.

But I'm done with your
stupid feud with Adam.

I have had enough drama with him.
And you.

Oh.

And I did learn one more thing tonight.

Kissing you was a huge mistake.

(KIRBY SLAMS DOOR)

Did you just bring me
in here to humiliate me

in the weirdest way possible?

No. I was testing a
theory about my instincts.

And I was right.

- They're great.
- Kudos.

- Glad I could help.
- The problem is that Blake

didn't trust my instincts tonight,

so now we're stuck with a horrible deal

for the radar tower.

He refuses to pay Sonya's price,
meaning that the opening

of our airport will
definitely be delayed.

I didn't understand about percent

of what you just said to me,

but I can relate to having a
difficult business partner.

Alexis?

I'm pretty sure everyone
saw that one coming.

Yeah, and I'm busting my
ass trying to fund a project

at Alexam just to get her approval.

Why are you self-funding?

You and Alexis are on good terms.

We're on great terms

and technically, we're partners, but...

...she has all the power, I guess.

It's like you and Blake.

Only one of you has real control.

I haven't really looked at it that way.

Thank you, Adam.

Oh, I didn't know I was being helpful,
but sure.

(SIGHS)

(GRUNTING)

I'm not an electrician,
but I'm pretty sure

the power to the door
won't just turn on.

(PANTING): This cannot be happening.

What about Liam?
Won't he wonder where you are?

He'll come here,

turn the power on and let us out.

No, no. Liam's spending
the night at La Mirage.

Oh...

Another big fight? Makes sense.

What? No. We're great.

And we're about to be even greater.

He's just...
he's spending the night there

because he's sh**ting the
movie and it makes more sense

- for him to stay there than come home.
- Right.

Sure. Okay.

Well, Dex won't be looking for me

- because he's leaving town.
- Yes, yes.

I know. You've told me about times.

No need to snap.

I'm just saying we are
trapped here tonight

until my staff comes in the morning.

At least they didn't get this.
(CHUCKLES)

- (SIGHS)
- I could k*ll you.

I should k*ll you.
You've had that the whole time?

You could've given that to them
and we would be out of here.

But you care about possessions
more than you care about people.

Some things never change.

- If you'd let me explain...
- No, I'm not gonna let you do anything.

I may be stuck here with you,
but that doesn't mean

I have to look at you or hear you.

Fallon, uh...

Good night.

Picking up some extra cash?

(CHUCKLES) I'm just trying to help out

where I can. You know, I can't help it.

I'm a giver.

So principal photography is over.

- Does it always go by so quickly?
- Pretty much.

These indie sh**t just fly by.

It's funny that you mention that.

I was thinking,

maybe we slow things down just a bit.

- You know, sh**t my version of the scene from last night.
- Liam,

you can bring me breakfast,
lunch and dinner.

It's not gonna change the
fact that we already wrapped.

Yeah, but have you considered
maybe unwrapping?

That's not a thing.

And I heard about your
tantrum last night,

which sounded wildly unprofessional.

Okay, that was just
frustration with Culhane

for not supporting my vision.

We need to show the audience that Lionel

didn't steal Farrah from Cutler.

The story works great as it is,
unless...

this has nothing to do with
showing the audience anything,

but is really about you showing Culhane

you weren't the real-life villain.

I-I mean...

I assume you two talked about this.

It's obviously not the
kind of thing you just

ignore and pretend
like it never happened.

No.

Yeah, never.

I don't know,
I figured it was ancient history.

Of course. I forgot.

You're men, who don't talk, which is why

it's not historical,
but very, very current.

(INTERCOM CHIMES)

ALEXIS: Hello?
Is anyone here yet? Hello?

Oh.

Breakfast?

Caviar-infused protein bar?

FALLON: I never

want to hear the word
breakfast ever again.

We wouldn't be trapped in here right now

if you hadn't insisted I have breakfast

with your latest boy toy.

- You need to stop calling him that.
- Oh, I know.

I know, he's not a boy,

but man toy doesn't exactly
roll off the tongue.

He's not any kind of toy.
He's special to me.

That's why I wanted
the two of you to bond.

And because...

well, I was going to propose to him

before he left town.

With this ring.

- That's why I wouldn't give it up.
- Fine.

That almost makes sense, but...

I mean, why did you have to
propose to him last night?

You just met the guy,
not counting, you know,

when he had a crush on you years ago.

Why couldn't you have just
waited till he got back in town?

I love Dex.

I do.

But I'm afraid I'm going to lose him,

like I lose everyone
who's important to me.

You've come and gone.

Amanda moved out.

Jeff is too busy for me.

What if I end up alone?

You can't marry someone

just because you're afraid to be alone.

You'll still be alone,
just with the other person.

Dex is the only one that I've got now.

And...

I was hoping to make us forever

before he had second thoughts.

But he's gone now, so... (SIGHS)

When we get out of here,
I need to get on a plane

and go find him.

This can't all be for nothing.

(SIGHS)

- I'm here to renegotiate.
- SONYA: You can't renegotiate

just because you don't like the terms.

That was Blake's deal.

I'm here to make my own.

With you. Woman to woman.

I don't feel incentivized.

Although, we could play a game for it.

This isn't a game. It's my business.

And I know your company is the only one

that can do this for us in time.

But I expect you to do
it for a fair price.

In exchange,
you'll get first bidding rights

on all future projects.

PPA is just one small
piece of the Flores empire.

I'm surprised to see
this side of you, Cristal.

I thought of you more
as a backseat driver.

Oh, I'm in the front seat, Sonya.

I'm the one who brought
the power and money

to the merger with PPA.

So, are you ready
to make a deal with me?

Hey...

I heard there was a power
failure at the Alexam lab.

I sure hope it didn't ruin
anything that needed, say...

refrigeration.

Nice try.

But I moved my ingredients to
another refrigeration source

to keep them from being destroyed.

So... Sorry, Sis. You failed.

AMANDA: Did I?

'Cause I just can't help
but wonder where you moved

your secret ingredient to.

No doubt somewhere with a
medical grade refrigerator.

Huh! Like this one.

Um...

You-you shouldn't...

- Yeah, caref...
- AMANDA: You can come in now.

(STAMMERS, GROANS)

This must be the Bokocho extract

I read so much about in your emails.

Well, yeah. You can't prove that.

There's, uh... There's no label.

AMANDA: Oh, we'll have it tested.

Seeing it is illegal to possess,
I must warn you

that this could get us
into serious trouble

with the FDA.

And once the board learns about

your breach of ethics and the law,

it's likely gonna cost you
your chief of staff position.

You didn't want to destroy
my supply, did you?

No, no, no.

I just needed you to bring it here.

After all, I'm not a monster.

ALEXIS: Listen to me.

We are going to be okay.

- You don't know that.
- Talk to me.

Maybe tell me why you
were distracted and rude

- at breakfast yesterday.
- You want to know? Well...

I think I might be pregnant.

- Fallon, that's fantastic news!
- All right.

Calm down, Grandma.
It's been like five minutes.

I wanted to wait till
I went to the doctor

to confirm before I told Liam,

but clearly, that did not happen.

So, Liam doesn't know, but I do?

- (SIGHS)
- Okay, I promise I won't say a word.

No, it's fine. It's fine.

I was gonna tell him
once I knew for sure,

but I'm glad that you know.

- You are?
- Yeah.

I mean, you're gonna be a
big part of this baby's life.

And I know that you
think everybody hates you

and has abandoned you,
but I'm still here.

And Amanda will cool off.
And I have forgiven you

- many, many times...
- Okay, what's your point?

My point is, maybe you should
learn to forgive yourself.

Right? I mean, you deserve happiness

as much as the next woman.

So if you're gonna chase after Dex

and you're gonna propose to him,

then you should be sure that
it's for the right reasons.

I'm sure about Dex.

HOUSEKEEPER (OVER INTERCOM): Hello?
Mrs. Colby,

are you home? What happened?

Yes, we're here.

In the panic room. Access the generator.

- The power line's been cut.
- HOUSEKEEPER: Okay.

Do you think she's gonna charge
more for cleaning up ransacking?

The power's on.

(WHOOPING)

You see? When you are patient,
the universe provides.

Or at least the housekeeper does.

- Do you want me to go with you to the doctor?
- No.

No, it's just a blood test.
I'll be fine.

- Good luck.
- And what about you?

Are you gonna go hop on a
plane and chase after Dex,

or are you gonna trust the
universe that you don't have to?

- You got a minute?
- Are you gonna grab

this menu out of my
hand and rip it in half?

I am not. Looks like a heavy card stock.

(SCOFFS)

Listen, man,
I was way out of line last night.

Ah, forget about it.

Apparently,
that's what happens on movie sets.

You creative types get all defensive.

I realized I rewrote that scene

to make myself...

...Lionel look better,

because I was feeling guilty.

- Guilty about what?
- I did some...

questionable things in the past

to steal Fallon from you,

and I was just, I don't know,

I guess I was just trying to
rewrite history or something.

Is that what this is about?

Okay, yeah, sure, you weren't
my favorite person back then.

But do you think Fallon did
anything that she didn't want to do?

Say, if she heard you say
you stole her from me...

- (SCOFFS) ...she would injure you.
- (LAUGHS)

Yeah.

Yeah, you do make a good point.

Hey, look.
No offense to your romantic skills,

but that woman ended up with exactly

who she was meant to be with.

Just like we all will.

I appreciate you saying that.

And, hey, I got to say,

working together,
it's been a lot of fun.

It has.

Especially if I don't have to tell Nina

that the writer is demanding a reshoot.

No reshoot. We're wrapped.

Congrats, man.

- Salud.
- Salud.

CRISTAL: Good news. I got Sonya

to agree to get our
radar tower up to code

at percent over cost,

not .

What? You talked to Sonya?

- I did.
- Without telling me?

That seems... strange.

But hey, that's a...
that's a good number,

so I'll sign off on it.

That's sweet,
but I don't need you to sign off.

I'm the largest stakeholder
in the company, remember?

The deal is done.

You should be thrilled, Blake.

Our airport will now open on schedule.

Oh, and, um...

next time someone challenges
us to Rock Paper Scissors,

I'll play.

Well, let's just hope
there is no next time.

To PPA.

(SIGHS) Sorry, not interested.

Understood.
I-I'll just apologize to the door.

- Very loudly.
- (SIGHS)

Fine. Come in.

Look, I never should have involved you

in any Carrington sibling drama, okay?

For some reason, Adam,
he just gets into my head

and I end up doing crazy things.

- I can certainly relate to that.
- And you were right.

I never should have shared
my feelings with you

five seconds before
you left for Milan, okay?

Especially because you're with Charlie.

Can we just pretend that
that never happened?

Well, we could.

Except Charlie and I are over now.

Oh... I'm sorry.

We decided that a client/rep
relationship was too exhausting

with all the extra baggage, so...

strictly professional now.

Plus...

the whole time I was in Milan...

...I couldn't stop thinking
about that kiss with you.

So, um, you're saying that

you don't think kissing
me was a huge mistake?

- I'm just curious.
- I don't know.

I guess there's only
one way to find out.

♪ ♪

Maybe we should just do it, like,
one more time, just to be sure.

(CHUCKLES)

Yes, this is Mrs. Colby.

Can you tell my driver
I no longer need him?

I've decided not to go to the airport.

I don't understand. Are you sure?

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Hey.

What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be getting on a plane?

DEX: I was on my way to the airport,
but realized that I needed

to say something to you before I left.

That's so funny.

I was this close to
racing to the airport

to catch you before you took off.

- Really? Like a rom-com?
- (CHUCKLES)

Were you gonna get down on one knee

and ask me to marry you at gate B?

Oh, I probably wouldn't have
gotten down on one knee.

Wait. You weren't really
going to propose, were you?

I was.

I know it's insane,

but it was out of fear
I was going to lose you.

- Lose me? I was only going to be gone for a few weeks.
- I know.

And, um...

I realized that I don't need to rush us.

If the timing is right, we'll know.

- (CHUCKLES)
- I get it.

- It... You think I'm crazy.
- No.

I just think the coincidence is crazy.

(GASPING) Stop it.

I can't...

...because what I came back to say is...

will you marry me?

I think the time is right.

Right now.

You really want to spend the
rest of your life with me?

I can't imagine living
another day without you.

- (LAUGHS)
- So what do you say?

Because my knee is starting to lock up.

(LAUGHING) Of course I will marry you.

A thousand times yes.

I only need one.

(LIAM HUMMING)

- Hey.
- Hey.

The movie is wrapped

and I am ready to
celebrate this milestone

with the love of my life.

I feel like I haven't
seen you in forever.

- Where have you been all day?
- Well...

it's kind of long story.

And then, I went to the doctor, and...

then I was just walking.

Is everything okay?

Well, I have to tell you something.

I was just at the OBGYN

and...

I'm not pregnant.

I really thought that I was,

and the test said that I was, but...

...my doctor told me it
was just a false positive.

Fallon...

Hey, I'm sorry.

It's okay.
We'll just... We'll keep trying

- And it will happen.
- Yeah, well...

That's the thing. No.

It won't happen.

My doctor...

...he said that because
of the scar tissue

from where I got sh*t...

I won't be able to carry a baby.

Ever.
