Which one says,
"Green energy mogul who's
ready to change the world"?
Um... I want to say green?
Blue suit it is.
Happy to help,
but happier to report that
Stacey's baby shower gift has arrived.
[GASPS]
It's perfect.
She's gonna love it.
I can't believe that our
baby shower is tomorrow.
It doesn't feel real.
Seriously? We just spent the last
week answering questions
about teacake towers
and flower meadows from Alexis.
It feels a little too real to me.
FALLON: Don't worry, tomorrow
is all about our baby and us.
LIAM: Yes, and today
is all about you and our baby's future.
How does it feel to be one hour away
from launching your first
hydroelectric power plant?
Surprisingly not too
different from yesterday,
but also one step closer
to reaching my goal of
transforming Fallon Unlimited
into a climate-positive company.
It's been a magical year, hasn't it?
I feel so...
at peace,
which is new for me,
but let's go with it.
- [CHUCKLES]
- A letter for Mrs. Carrington.
Oh. 'Kay.
I guess knocking is optional now.
Thank you.
[GASPS]
- What?
- It's from the Forbes Visionary Summit.
It's like the Met Gala,
but for business.
Blake used to get invited all the time.
[GASPS]
They've put me on the
short list to be a speaker.
And after today's launch,
you will be the only one on that list.
This place is amazing, Sam.
You should be really proud
- of what you've built here.
- I am.
- I think I'm ready to do it again.
- What, like,
- build another hotel?
- I wasn't planning
on franchising,
but the perfect property across town
is about to hit the market.
- Oh.
- I just need Culhane to weigh in,
or at least reply to my texts.
Anyway...
- this was fun... again.
- Mm.
I agree... again.
Though, can I ask,
what this is?
I mean,
are you just looking for fun or...
something more?
What am I looking for?
Uh...
You know, I'm... looking for...
something more...
something... fun.
Something more fun.
Sam, I don't think that I can do the fun
without the more.
So...
why don't you think about it,
and then maybe we'll revisit
at dinner, like tomorrow night?
[SIGHS] I told Johan
anything sage-adjacent plays,
but these are just far too blue.
Well, maybe we should just nix them.
I suppose. All right, send them
to the sea creature room.
Are we done being mad at each other?
'Cause I can hardly bear it.
Um...
- What about the floral rattles?
- Ah, yes.
Those go by the storybook stacks. Kirby.
This takes me back to when
I was starting a family.
Sadly, showers like this
were not yet de rigueur.
AMANDA: They still aren't in London,
so if you're ever planning on
throwing one for me one day,
you got to tone it down a wee bit.
You want to raise kids in London?
I always pictured having a family here,
or in Australia, even.
ALEXIS: Ooh, Australia, how lovely.
You should go, right now.
Okay, let's get back to the
party that's happening tomorrow.
Mother, did you find the info
for Anders' champagne dealer?
Unfortunately not,
but I have full confidence you will.
Tobias,
no. The manatee does not belong
in the fairytale forest.
Why do you need my dad's contact?
Oh, Fallon's requested some
rare champagne for the shower.
I'll take care of it.
You have enough on your plate.
No, it's okay. I'll-I'll figure it out.
No, please, I want to help.
Plus, I still have
a few tricks up my sleeve
from my party-planning days.
Yeah, that's what I'm worried about.
Look, ever since you used my name
to thr*aten a nurse, I just...
I don't know what "tricks"
you might use. I'm still trying
to make sure that I don't get
- reprimanded for something I didn't even do.
- I know,
and I'm sorry.
Please just let me do this for you,
- so we can go back to normal.
- Fine,
but this isn't for me, remember.
It's for Fallon.
I won't let either of you down.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
- There's the esteemed author.
- Jasper?
- What are you doing here?
- Sorry to ambush you,
but I didn't know how else to reach you,
and we need to talk.
Okay. About the writing program?
No, about how
I was cleaning out my uncle's office
and found letters to a publisher
about his new novel, but no manuscript,
which seemed weird.
Uh, maybe he kept it somewhere else?
I wondered that, too,
but then I saw a press
release for your new book
with an oddly similar summary.
You know what, we can discuss
whatever it is that
you're implying later.
There's nothing to discuss.
Unless you want your career
ruined, you're gonna buy me
a penthouse fit for a Carrington.
[SCOFFS] Okay.
And pay a big finder's fee.
Call me when you're done.
[SIGHS]
FALLON: Are you okay?
- Huh? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Okay, good.
- I need you in position and focused.
- Focused?
I'm just holding one end
of a ribbon, right?
Well, when it comes to a ribbon cutting,
that's kind of essential.
So, remember, after I cut the ribbon,
the turbines will roar to life,
- and everyone will cheer.
- Okay.
Then, as we exit, the band plays,
and you and I will smile and wave
like renewable energy royalty, okay?
Hello, hello, hello.
Thank you so much for coming.
It has been a rigorous six months,
from conception
to completion, but I am proud
to finally announce that
Morell Green Hydro Power Plant
has officially...
- ...launched! [CHEERS, LAUGHS]
- [APPLAUSE]
[expl*si*n]
Is that smoke supposed to be black?
FALLON: No, no it's not.
- Band, come on! Whoo! Let's play.
- [BAND PLAYING]
[CHUCKLES]
Someone is going to pay for this,
and it better not be me.
CRISTAL: Is something wrong?
A PPA airplane has gone missing,
mid-flight.
Missing? How is that even possible?
A single-pilot aircraft
moving m*llitary cargo
left this morning for Alaska
with a defense contractor
and a financier aboard.
Because of their m*llitary clearance,
they were given
permission to stay off
the major radar towers.
Well, they just went missing
from PPA's system, too.
- Have you called the FAA yet?
- Are you insane?
We just narrowly escaped
Adam's PR scandal.
No matter what's going on up there,
- this cannot go public.
- So, you're assuming
it's still in flight.
Until I get some evidence
otherwise, yeah.
Either way, I know someone
who can find that plane,
and he's motivated to do
it quickly and quietly,
and when we find the plane,
we will help it land.
What if the plane crashed?
[SIGHS]
I have an elite search and
rescue team standing by.
I have a friend at the FAA.
Put that phone down.
I'm taking the lead on this.
End of discussion.
Wow.
If "end of discussion"
is where we're at these days,
I want nothing to do with this.
♪
The Colby Co.
tech onboard is fully operational,
but I couldn't establish
any communication.
There's got to be a back door in.
I've tried everything,
including the plane's transponder
and the ACARS system.
Can't connect to either.
[CHUCKLES] Which means
this plane is flying dark
against FAA regulations.
You know,
I agreed to come here to help with
a Colby Co. tech glitch,
not whatever shady
scheme you're running.
Look, I was hoping it was just
a glitch, but I couldn't risk discussing
the full picture with
you over the phone.
Okay, you need to tell me what
the hell is going on right now.
We had FAA approval
to fly dark on this flight,
but the plane vanished
off of our system a few hours ago.
I-I need you to locate it.
And how do you suggest I do that?
Hack into the towers along
the plane's flight path,
scan for a ping without
tipping off the FAA.
Oh, is-is that all?
'Cause that could take a whole day,
- if not longer.
- Yeah, I'm aware of that,
which is why we should get started.
Best-case scenario,
it's just a comms malfunction,
they're still in the air.
Worst-case, they've gone down somewhere,
and we're looking for
a needle in a haystack.
SAM: What does this card mean?
The snakes alongside the red lion
mean there's some steamy
love coming into your life.
Great.
Does one of those snakes
maybe have a name I might recognize?
The universe, not the cards,
will give you that answer.
Unless you'd like a star chart reading.
I'm pretty booked, but I can find time
in the next day or so,
for a rush fee, of course.
Whatever it takes.
Text me the results?
Was that Miss Cassidy?
This can't be good.
It's not. Ryan wants to DTR...
"Define the Relationship"...
and I just needed some
advice on what to do.
Because if you wait too long,
you could miss your sh*t.
Exactly.
Kind of like the
situation with that spot
- I've been texting you about.
- Right, that.
I've been kind of distracted
with relationship stuff, too.
Except, unlike you,
I know that I don't want
to date Nina anymore.
- Because I want to marry her.
- My God,
you really need to work
on your dramatic pauses.
What I need to work on is my proposal
because I don't know what to do,
or how to make it special.
Say no more. This is clearly
a job for your best friend.
- Me.
- Oh.
Graham?
[CHUCKLES] Kirby, hey.
Oh, look at us.
First, the blood drive,
then the garden party,
- and now here.
- I know. We have to stop meeting like this.
I'm not stalking you, I swear.
Turns out, a broken ankle requires
a lot of physical therapy.
[CHUCKLES] Who knew?
Ah, based on the bouquet, I'm guessing
you and your girlfriend still
haven't worked things out.
Mm, yeah, not yet,
which is why I needed to
step up my apology game
and offered to try and
find a rare champagne.
I just didn't realize "rare"
meant "impossible to get."
What varietal are we talking?
- Juglar Cuvee.
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, that's a tricky one,
but it's nice to know her taste
in champagne is as good
as her taste in women.
[CHUCKLES] Well,
it's actually for Fallon, but thank you.
So, can't promise this will fix
your girlfriend issue, but I think
I can help with your champagne problem.
- Really? How?
- Before I was a full-time
PT patient, I was a personal concierge.
I've had to find
far rarer things than vintage champagne.
You'd really do this for me?
I've been itching to dip a toe,
with my good ankle...
- [CHUCKLES]
- ...back into the hospitality pool,
and this is a perfect chance
to flex that muscle again.
So, the penstock is clear;
what about the generator valve?
Huh.
Look at that.
There's a misalign in surge t*nk two.
Eh, must've been too much
pressure for it to handle.
Cracking under pressure,
not unlike this entire enterprise.
Ten out of ten entrance, Ellen,
but the problem has been located.
It's too late for that.
This project is out of money
and out of time.
We need to shutter the plant
before the new fiscal
quarter begins tomorrow.
As far as I can tell,
we still have a little bit of money left
and hours before the quarter ends.
Technically, yes,
but if anything else goes wrong,
you'll jeopardize the project from ever
- happening.
- [CELL PHONE RINGING]
Excuse me.
Hey, uh, Gil,
is hours enough time
to reinstall the valve
- and fix the pressure?
- Maybe.
Look, I'm off the clock and, uh,
not exactly motivated.
Well, would the remainder of our budget
and two season tickets
to the Atlantix help
your motivation at all?
You make it four tickets,
and, uh, I'll try to rev up my engines.
There is too much at stake
to simply try, Gil.
Trying will not clean up
this planet for my child,
so I don't care about
revving up your engines,
just fix this one.
Ignore it.
Yeah.
Well, I guess I could stay
at La Mirage, or maybe
I'm banished from there as well.
Don't be such a sad sack.
Your dad gave you a week
to figure out what's next,
and you're not banished from the family.
You can fix things down the line.
Plus, you still got me.
Yeah.
Thank you for being so patient with me
and helping me keep
everything in perspective.
That's what I'm here for,
patience and perspective.
I almost forgot my insect
exoskeleton collection
in the library.
- Um, I'll be right back.
- Mm-hmm.
ADAM: Just a few drops of this.
It's saline.
What the hell is this?
It's weird to be back here.
Almost forgot...
never found out who was
behind the break-in.
KEVIN: I hear you, but between me
and the new security system,
you're safe.
Plus, my team is almost done
with their report,
so soon we'll have a
better idea if this is just
some random incident or something else.
I know you're doing everything
by the book. I appreciate it.
Especially since I need
to get back to work
- if I'm going to secure that building.
- Why don't we just
stick with the routine?
Okay?
I'll spend the night here on the couch,
so all you have to do is just focus
on locking down that store.
I think that would help a lot, actually.
Thank you.
You're welcome, but I choose
where we order the pizza from,
obviously.
Deal.
Just be sure to keep the pineapple
on your side of the pie.
- Yeah.
- [CHUCKLES]
Okay. Let's begin.
Ask your favorite person
in all the galaxies at...
the planetarium. She'll only have stars
in her eyes for you after
this dreamy proposal.
- Eh...
- Or,
if that's too straightforward...
[ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
...wow her with a classic,
interactive drag show.
♪
Of course,
you can always go for nostalgia...
[CROWD CHEERING]
Give her a jumbo ring
on the kiss cam at an Atlantix game.
Okay, you do realize that I'm
proposing to Nina and not you,
right?
This all seems... a little big.
Okay, I can see why that's
your initial reaction.
Look, I'm clearly off my game,
all right?
Why is Miss Cassidy taking
so long with my star chart?
I mean, it's a simple question.
Is Ryan my soulmate?
You're right.
It is a simple question.
[LAUGHS] I think I know
what I'm gonna do with Nina.
I told you my method works.
Good news,
assistant filling in for Betty,
the plant is fully operational
and Morell is back on track.
- Did Ellen ever get ahold of you?
- No.
I didn't have any service at the plant.
I'm sure she was just
calling to congratulate me.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Uh, she and the board
have been in a closed-door
meeting for the last minutes.
What?
- ELLEN: ...need to act fast.
- What's going on here,
and why wasn't I invited?
We're in triage mode here.
There've been power outages
across the company.
FSN has been off the
air for half an hour,
and a Tempo Universal Live
Music event just went dark.
Your plant shenanigans
clearly triggered a move
to the green grid early,
and now we are hemorrhaging money.
Maybe you can take it
down a notch, Ellen.
Losing one concert
and minutes of cardigan
sales is hardly a hemorrhage.
It's barely even a paper cut.
- [BOARD MEMBERS MURMURING]
- [CHUCKLES]
You were saying?
No, no, no, no, no.
This has nothing to do with the plant.
Everything was fine
when I left Gil.
We've crunched the numbers,
and the only way to recoup our losses
is to sell off Morell.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
DIRK: Shareholder's confidence
is plummeting as fast as
the power at that plant.
We need to be bold if we don't want
our stock to nosedive.
And you need to show that
you're not a liability as CEO
by closing the sale publicly.
We already have a
potential buyer lined up.
- And if I say no?
- Well, then we still sell Morell,
and your CEO title will be in jeopardy.
KIRBY: Wow.
- You really are my hero.
- My old contact came through.
- I owe you big-time.
- In that case,
can I work the party tomorrow?
I could use some extra cash.
Actually, they do need a new majordomo.
I don't know.
[CHUCKLES] I've worked
for high-end clients,
but this is like...
They'll love you. It's perfect.
Once Amanda sees all this champagne,
she's gonna
forgive me, and you and I'll
both be where we belong.
We're running out of time.
Yeah, I'm almost done
initiating the auto-scan, okay?
Remember, this system only hits
one tower at a time,
so it could still miss the plane.
If the plane is even still in the air.
If we don't get a ping
or that plane doesn't land on schedule,
I'm gonna have to contact
the defense company
and the passenger's people
with a cover story to buy us
more time.
You know, it's amazing how
easy it is for you to lie,
but I have another way of doing this.
If I manually cycle down the plane's
power remotely, when it cycles back up,
it should reconnect the ACARS system,
allowing us to track the flight.
If you cycle the power down,
- it'll k*ll the engines.
- Briefly.
But any competent pilot can deal
with a short engine failure.
It's too risky. It could cause a crash
that would end PPA forever.
Or is that what you want?
[CHUCKLES]
The odds of a crash are infinitesimal,
and if you actually think
I would let people
die just to spite you,
you are sicker than I thought.
All right, we're done here.
The auto-scan can ping
for the towers without your help.
So, you're gonna prioritize
your own ego over other people's lives?
Hey, like I said, you can go now.
Ta-da!
The bounty of bubbly you requested,
my darling.
You ask, I deliver.
Thank you. How'd you pull it off?
Well, I had a little help
from my friend Graham.
He heard about our predicament
and called in a favor.
GRAHAM: Kirby has been such an angel
at the hospital with her volunteer work,
and I know how much
she wanted to help you,
so I made some calls.
Uh, well, thank you, Graham.
Uh, it's really lovely to meet you, but
I'm drowning in last-minute tasks,
so excuse me.
[SIGHS] I can't believe this.
She's acting like I k*lled her goldfish.
Seriously. Wait, did you?
No. Though I am terrible with pets.
Good to know.
How many times do I need to apologize?
How many gestures does she want?
I just feel like
the crime doesn't match the time,
you know?
I...
don't mean to state the obvious,
but maybe you could just
ask her what's going on.
Because her attitude clearly
isn't about champagne
or whatever it is you
think she's mad about.
You're right.
As usual,
which is exactly why you'd make
the perfect majordomo here.
Watch out, giant cake coming through.
Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. Carrington,
- I didn't see you there.
- It's your kitchen,
Mrs. Gunnerson, I'm just a visitor.
Why is it that there's
varieties of granola
- and not a single box of...
- FALLON: These?
BLAKE: Oh.
Rough day?
No.
I just had a hankering.
Huh.
The whole box?
I know why I'm stress-eating.
What's your excuse?
[SIGHS] I'll spare you the details,
but there were a few hiccups at work,
and now the board needs
a sacrificial lamb for the shareholders.
It's either gonna be me or Morell.
Losing Morell may seem
unfathomable at the moment, but
keeping Fallon Unlimited and
the support of the board,
that will soften the blow over time.
You're right.
I know it's my only option.
Though I do think it might
k*ll my Forbes Summit invite.
You were invited?
Well, would it help if I tell you
that those things are really boring?
No, because I know you'd be lying.
When you won your
Summit Visionary Award,
all those years ago,
I made it my mission
to get an invite, too.
I think I just wanted to impress you.
I was so proud to see my father
get recognized.
I want my child to feel
that about me one day, too.
It'll happen. You have plenty of time,
- unlike this dinosaur.
- Dinosaur?
You built an airport from scratch.
You merged empires with a female CEO.
You partnered with a titan of tech.
In many ways, you're more
of a visionary now than
you ever were back then.
Okay,
I think my baby-to-be
is making me uncomfortably sentimental.
I'm gonna go.
Oh, I could get used to this.
You should sleep here every night.
On the couch.
You could rebrand yourself the
bodyguard-barista.
Anyway...
- what's the update on your team's report?
- [PHONE BUZZES]
Well, looks like
the evidence just came in,
and they think the break-in
was just a one-time incident,
and I agree.
Well, I trust your judgment.
FSN does as well.
They've decided to end my...
...uh, assignment.
What happens when the next
crazy fan comes around?
Well, I'm always just a phone call away
if you ever feel uncomfortable.
So...
...does that mean you're not going to be
my bodyguard anymore?
It does,
which means we can finally do this.
I like that.
Off.
[LAUGHING]
Oh...
[CHUCKLES]
As a professional,
I have to advise you
that a hollowed-out book
is not the safest place
to hide valuables.
You're not wrong.
Considering whoever broke into
my home stole the hard drive
I was keeping safe for Jeff.
- Hard drive?
- He...
split the codes for his
new solar project onto two
hard drives for an extra precaution.
No one should've even
known I had it here.
Okay, well, thank you, Betty,
just prep the final contracts,
and we'll talk later.
- Okay.
- No, no, no. I recognize that look.
Whatever it is, shelve it.
Do not make me throw that
phone out another window.
- I'm done, I'm done I promise.
- Good.
Because today is your first baby shower.
Ugh. You should be
jittery with butterflies
and tastefully drunk on champagne.
At least that's how I was
when I was pregnant with you.
Probably something you
shouldn't brag about.
You can reacquire companies
and rebuild equity
for the rest of your life,
but you can never
relive days like today.
These are the moments that count.
It's like my own personal
Meow Wolf down there.
I couldn't love it more.
The inspiration was all you.
It's like a
breathtaking fairy tale,
like the life you and Liam
are building for yourselves.
Well, I will savor every insane detail.
And you are hired to throw the baby's
first birthday party.
Although, you probably could've gone
about % less on, well, everything.
- Ah, I wanted to go % more.
- [CHUCKLES]
You'll see soon enough.
You don't hold back when
it comes to your kids.
Yeah, you were right.
I was protecting my ego,
but there are three people
still missing, possibly in danger,
and I don't need to
fix everything myself.
So, there's no new news.
No.
But, look, I'm... sorry,
uh...
I acted like a jerk.
Yeah, whatever, look,
we can worry about that later.
Right now, let's find that plane.
It disappeared hours ago,
so even with
the airport towers we've eliminated,
we're right back to the
needle in a haystack theory,
and we don't even know
what condition they're in.
Well, I know they're alive.
They have to be.
Yeah, well, either way,
they're not in the air,
so powering down isn't a risk anymore.
I could reset the ACARS,
but I need your authorization codes.
Yeah, um, of course. Whatever it takes.
Good.
'Cause it may take a miracle.
- [CELL PHONE RING, BUZZES]
- Not now.
Okay, I'm ready to cycle down.
It's not a sure bet, but...
- Well, it's the only bet we've got.
- Yeah.
- Well?
- It worked.
The ACARS is online.
I'm getting a ping right now.
- Okay, where is it? Where's the plane?
- Ping is coming from
a tower in the Appalachians,
and...
these coordinates should
get your rescue team
within miles of the plane.
- [CAMERA CLICKS]
- Sending to my guys right now.
[CELL PHONE WHOOSHES]
Well done.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Look, I meant what I said earlier.
- I acted like a jerk.
- Yeah, you did.
All that matters is we found the plane.
Yeah.
Even though we don't always
act like it, we're...
we're family, and that matters, too.
The possibility of losing PPA
- made me a little...
- Irrational?
Yeah, look, I get it.
I went to a really dark
place when I lost Colby Co.
Oh, maybe we're not all that different.
Oh, yeah, we are.
And one apology
does not equal a clean slate.
That said,
we all got to start somewhere.
Maybe, uh,
this could be that somewhere for us.
KIRBY: I know you're mad.
I don't know what else I can say or do
to show you how sorry I am.
I'm not mad.
I'm just processing what you did.
It surprised me.
- It was one mistake.
- I know, but then,
yesterday, you were talking
about how you want to move back
to Australia, and I just...
Look, I figured out what
was really bothering me.
We're eight months
into our relationship,
and I just feel like we should
know more about each other.
[CHUCKLES] Well, I'm an open book.
- What do you want to know?
- Sure, but, like,
where am I in that book?
Like, do I fit into
what you want for your future?
Like, do you fit into mine?
I guess I haven't
really thought about it.
I'm just kind of enjoying the moment.
Right, that's just it.
See, I've mapped out
what I want to do in my life
and my career,
and it's just not really your style.
You've had, like,
three different jobs
in the past year alone.
Ouch.
I didn't realize my lack of
a career was such a problem.
No, sorry, that's not what I meant.
It's okay.
You're right.
We should talk about where we're going.
Though probably not in the
middle of a baby shower.
Yeah. [CLEARS THROAT] Exactly.
So... talk later?
Yeah.
Let's see what it is.
Ah, yes. [CHUCKLES]
Um, yet another engraved spoon.
You really shouldn't have.
Well, let's hope
our kid never needs a Kn*fe.
Huh?
Alanis? No one?
Let's put a pause on the presents
and bring out the cake.
[APPLAUSE]
Feels a little weird
wiping my mouth with a
picture of baby Liam.
- It is a little weird.
- Yeah, Alexis wanted to do
the same kind of napkins for
me and Steven at our shower,
but he wouldn't let her.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
- [GLASS CLINKING]
- LIAM: We would actually
like to make a toast,
so can everybody grab a glass?
Vodka gimlet,
fresh lime for Mrs. Carrington.
And gin martini, extra olives,
- for Mr. Jones.
- Oh, thank you.
I don't know who you are,
but you can make drinks for me anytime.
I'm Graham.
And Kirby did mention
there was an opening.
Oh, you're the one she's been
talking my ear off about.
So, you're really interested
in the majordomo position?
- If you'll consider me.
- SAM: Well, like I said,
- you're hired.
- [CHUCKLES]
SAM: Well, I don't really have
hiring power here.
That's kind of Blake's area.
- Oh.
- Today it's mine.
I don't need Blake's approval,
so I say we give you a two-week
trial period and see how that works.
- Sound good?
- It's perfect.
I just wanted to...
Well, we wanted to thank Alexis,
Kirby, and Amanda for
planning this wonderful event.
We feel very grateful
that we get to share it with all of you.
And none of this would be
possible without one person.
The key to the rest of our lives.
Stacey, could you come up here?
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
[STACEY CHUCKLES]
That one is sort of symbolic, but
there is an actual key
to the manor in there.
You're part of the family now,
- and you'll always have a home here.
- [STACEY CHUCKLES]
I don't even know what to say, uh...
Thank you so much for making
me part of this journey.
And, um... [SIGHS] Don't worry,
I won't come to breakfast every morning.
[LAUGHTER]
Whoa.
I think we should let the baby
do the rest of the talking.
- Aw.
- Yeah. Oh, my, it feels
like she is wearing six-inch
stilettos in there. [LAUGHS]
Did you just say "she"?
Did I?
Um...
Are we having a girl?
Yes.
[CHUCKLES] Yes.
- They're having a girl.
- [APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHS]
[CHEERING]
She is so lucky
to have two amazing
and forgiving parents.
So sorry. [LAUGHS]
- We're having a daughter.
- This is crazy.
I mean,
I-I know I said it felt real before,
but now it feels, like, really real.
I know, I know it does.
We're having a little girl.
A real human being who's
gonna need our help
navigating this complicated world.
It definitely changes the perspective.
[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]
Oh, you have a pep in your step.
[GRUNTS]
My best bud is about to propose, and
Miss Cassidy just
confirmed that the love
coming into my life is a Scorpio.
- Aka Ryan's stripper name.
- [LAUGHS]
I mean, if that's not a sign,
I don't know what is.
Well, as dependable as a
$ , -a-day psychic is,
make sure this is how you feel.
It is, but let's focus on you.
Let me see. [CLEARS THROAT]
- Good evening.
- What is all of this?
It's my way of making up for canceling
our movie plans last night.
Totally unnecessary, but sweet.
Wait until you see the show.
[PROJECTOR CLICKING, BEEPING]
Tonight's feature presentation
is our film,
our story.
It has yet to be written, produced,
or directed. So, even though
I don't know what scene comes next,
I know with absolute certainty
that I want to watch it unfold with you.
Take it away, Culhane.
[CHUCKLES] What in the world is going
on in... here?
Nina,
I love you,
and I have never been more sure
of anything in my life.
Will you marry me?
With absolute certainty...
...yes.
[CHUCKLES] Whoo!
[LAUGHS]
Hey, what happened?
I thought we were having
dinner at the boathouse.
STACEY: We were...
until I found this.
What is that?
Oh, this? Just the atropine
I found in your bag.
W-Why-why were you going through my bag?
If you must know,
I was leaving you a cute little note,
and then I saw this and realized
it's what you gave me
the day I collapsed.
Stacey, I'm a-a doctor.
Of course I have medicine in my bag.
I probably have plenty
of other medications.
This-this doesn't mean anything.
Well, I asked my doctor friend,
and she thinks it's pretty weird
that you just happened to
have atropine that day.
As if you knew something
was going to happen.
And even weirder that you lied
and said that it was saline.
No, Stacey, I can explain everything.
It wasn't even that hot,
so it's strange I had heat stroke,
but I do remember feeling sick
after I drank some of
that tea you gave me.
My friend also said that
atropine can be used
to treat mushroom poisoning,
which can look a lot like heat stroke.
I know
it was the tea, Adam.
I do not know
what is wrong with you,
but I don't want
anything to do with you.
No, no, no, no, no, please.
I'm sorry. You have to believe me.
You were never in danger.
I would never put you
or the baby at risk.
Look, sometimes
I make irrational decisions,
especially when I think
that I'm gonna lose everything.
Well, now you have.
I never want to see you again.
Well, we-we can fix this.
And-and nobody else
has to know anything.
Well, considering I already told
someone, it's a little too late.
I was really rooting for you,
but this was too far. Your time is up.
All right, let me just...
You are never to step
foot in this house again,
or I will make sure you regret it.
So, I, uh, put a lot of thought
into what you asked,
about what I want...
- And?
- And...
then I realized it shouldn't
take this much thought.
You know, I-I want to say yes,
but there's still
something holding me back.
You deserve someone
who won't hesitate to go all in.
You're just too special
for anything less.
Wow.
I'm so sorry, Ryan.
I mean, Sam, I'm...
obviously, I'm-I'm disappointed,
but, uh, I appreciate the honesty.
I think we both deserve
that all-in person.
- Bye.
- Bye.
You okay?
Remember when you broke up with Geneva
because you knew it was
the right thing to do
- even though you didn't want to?
- Say no more.
- Sorry, brother.
- Yeah.
Maybe this is just the
step I needed to take to
find true love like you did.
I hope so.
Thanks for your help, by the way.
Yeah.
It was my honor to be
there in your big moment,
even though it did convince
me to say no to Ryan.
Actually, can we change the subject?
Maybe talk about that
new hotel property?
We can,
but I don't think
you're gonna like what I have to say,
which is why I've been avoiding it.
I can't get involved
in another hotel here
in Atlanta
because Nina and I are moving to L.A.
Wow.
- [LAUGHS]
- I didn't see that coming.
I know. I... It just...
it makes the most sense.
You know? I hope you're not mad at me.
Oh. [LAUGHS] No.
No. How could I be mad at
something that makes you happy?
[SIGHS]
Team still hasn't found the plane yet,
but they're covering a lot of ground.
It's only a matter of time.
- I hope it's not too late.
- Yeah.
I hope so, too.
[CELL PHONE BUZZING]
[SIGHS]
Blake Carrington.
Yeah.
What is it? Did they find anyone?
No.
But we finally got the
confidential manifest
for the flight.
The financier, the third passenger?
It was Farnsworth Dexter.
Dex was on that plane.
Mm.
I may not like Alexis...
[EXHALES]
...but she definitely
knows how to pick a cake.
Oh, my God, you're not kidding.
See? At least we know we'd be
on the same page about our wedding cake.
Wedding cake? Wow.
You went from zero to real fast.
[CHUCKLES]
Look, I know I hit you with a lot today.
Seemingly out of nowhere.
But I am glad that it's out in the open.
Me, too.
And...
if you want to talk about the future,
there's no better time than the present.
I've just had certain things
that have always been in my mind.
Like, I know I don't want to work
at the hospital forever or...
even live in this house
for the rest of my life.
Although please don't tell Blake that.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Being with you has complicated
some of those things.
In a good way.
Well...
you know me.
Always here to complicate.
[CHUCKLES]
- We just need to...
- [DOORBELL RINGS]
Hello.
Uh, apologies for the evening intrusion.
As I told security,
I'm looking for Amanda Carrington.
Oh. [CHUCKLES] And you are?
Florence.
Hello, Amanda.
Florence?
- As in...
- Judge Florence Whitley.
Amanda and I are...
old friends.
[PHONE BUZZES]
I assume this means
you've made a decision?
LIAM: I am ready for this to be over.
I'll be a distant memory
as soon as you sign the papers
to the new condo and
hand over my payment.
Remember, it starts with a five,
followed by
six zeroes.
- You're a real piece of work.
- I think we both know
I'm not the bad guy here.
[PHONE CALL BEEPS OFF]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Jeff, where have you been?
- I've been calling you.
- Whoa.
I was off-grid, working on some...
some stuff.
Someone stole the Colby Co. drive
when they broke into my loft.
- What? It's gone?
- I'm sorry
- I didn't think about it sooner.
- Okay.
It's okay. This isn't on you. All right?
[BEEPING]
- [SIGHS]
- Damn it! The other half of the codes
are gone, too.
- I don't understand this.
- Who else knew
about the drives?
There's only one other person
who's been here recently
and could track you the
night of the break-in.
- I guess she must have seen me open the safe.
- Wait,
are you talking about the
woman you met at the auction?
Yep. Gemma.
I'd like to announce that I have
officially finalized the sale
of Morell Green Energy by...
purchasing the company myself.
- [MURMURING]
- Privately owning Morell
allows me to take responsibility
for the world my daughter
will be born into.
And now I will be able
to fast-track all of Morell's
future energy initiatives.
I am done waiting
to make a difference.
Change starts now.
Thank you all very much for coming.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Whew. Well done.
[CHUCKLES]: I applaud your efforts.
Well, I figure it's a win-win.
I appreciate you putting
that other buyer in place,
but then I figured,
why not just do it myself?
Your ability to snake your way
out of trouble is truly impressive.
Excuse me?
You jumped the g*n,
peddling that sweet story to the press.
The board is pausing the sale of
Morell until after a new vote.
- To remove you as CEO.
- On what grounds?
I followed your terms
and I sold the company before
the end of the quarter.
Yes, but you clearly adjusted
the company's code of conduct
for your own benefit.
Remember when you removed the bylaw
prohibiting management
from poaching assets?
I only added that bylaw
to protect the company
while Colin was acting as my number two.
So, yes, once I returned, I removed it.
Sadly, the board sees it
for the obvious personal
power grab it was.
Ellen, what is your game here?
Well, at first,
I was making a play
of my own for Morell.
But after your self-serving
attempt to save it,
you opened the door for
me to take everything.
All I had to do was convince the board
you were in the wrong.
Which I did.
[CHUCKLES]
So you sabotaged the grid conversion.
You really think that you can b*at me?
You're just a hired lackey.
I made you when I put you on this board.
But now I'm following in your footsteps.
And, eventually, replacing them.
The board votes
in two days.
Better start packing.
GRAHAM: Need a hand?
Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.
Happy to help.
And, technically,
it is my job as the new majordomo.
Oh. Good for you.
Then maybe I'll be...
seeing you around.
I suppose you will.
- Sorry, I didn't catch your name.
- It's Graham.
What are you doing? Hey. Hey, let go...
[MUFFLED SHOUTING]
[GROANS]
You've hurt a lot of people.
It's time to return the favor.
Just relax.
It'll all be over soon.
