Wow. I didn't even know
we could do that standing up.

I mean, this whole trying to get
pregnant thing is kind of great.

Especially in the shower. Twice.

Easy, now. Once I'm pregnant,
the only thing

that will be happening twice
in one day is me throwing up.

- That just killed the mood.
- Oh-- Hey, if I jump back

into that bed right now,

we would be back at it
in less than a minute.

Yeah, you're probably right.

And much as I would love
to stay here and break

our record
of five times in one day,

I have a lot of work to do.

Doesn't Fallon Unlimited
just run itself now?

Thank you for minimizing
my contribution to the company.

But no, I'm talking about
Morrell Green Energy.

I'm trying to make the world
a better place, remember?

Although no one
seems to notice yet.

Look what comes up when
you search "Fallon Carrington."

"Oil heiress flaunts

possible baby bump
on Barcelona beaches"?

I mean, I had
just eaten tacos.

And that sarong
was blowing in the wind.

No wonder young women
have body image issues.

Everyone who matters
knows you're pushing

the green energy envelope.

Not really.
But at least I have Jeff.

You know, he's so good with
all that world-saving stuff.

We're strategizing this morning.

I should get back to work
on these script pages.

The movie starts
shooting in two days

and I still haven't
figured out the climax.

Oof. You keep talking like that,

I might want to jump
back into bed.

Oh...

Ah! You just stuck me
with a pin. Now get out.

We'll finish later,
after I get the feeling

back in my ankle.

Everything okay?

I haven't seen you this upset
since your phone

updated itself overnight.

They really should ask first.

PPA is up and flying,

but the airport
isn't finished yet.

I need more money to
speed up construction

so I can stop renting
hangar space.

So I called some banks.

- And they said no?
- Construction loans

are risky in this economy.

Even with my years
of experience, they're worried

that I have lost my touch,
that I'm not gonna be able

- to pay it back.
- That's absurd.

But I know you'll figure it out.
You always do.

Now we have my Yale
Future Business Leaders

reunion tomorrow.

It just keeps getting better.

Come on, it'll be fun.

You've been grouchy lately,
and a little

partying might do you some good.

- Loosen you up.
- I wouldn't even go

if it wasn't my turn to host.

There's no C.A.,

no new airport.

What's the point of small talk
if I have nothing to brag about?

I think your classmates
will forgive you

for not making the cover
of Forbes this year.

But you could make
the cover of GQ.

As long as you go
with a different shirt.

Something a little more modern.

It looks like you wore
this one at Yale.

Thank you for coming.
As a working woman myself,

I know how busy things can get.

Speaking of working,
I just wanted to ask,

w-why are you still doing this?

You mean Alexam? Why not?

Putting aside the fact
that your partner

is a dangerous narcissist,

running your own company
is hard work,

and from what
I've gathered, you're not

- particularly hard-working.
- Wow.

It's crazy how an insult
sounds so much worse

with a British accent.

I don't mean to be insulting,
I just genuinely don't know why

- you would go to the trouble.
- Believe it or not,

Adam and I have turned a corner.

- Mm.
- We actually make a great team

and I believe in our product.

Besides, what else
should I be doing

- with my time?
- Enjoying your hobbies,

like, painting dogs

and entertaining and...

manipulating people. Hmm.

Look, I'm just worried
that you're gonna be upset

- when it doesn't work out.
- While I appreciate

your slightly
patronizing concern,

you have nothing
to worry about.

The Alexam Miracle Cream
is going to be a huge hit.

You'll see at the launch
party tomorrow night.

I'm looking forward to it.

I had a great idea
on the way over.

Fallon,

there's something I need
to talk to you about.

Sure, just let me go first.

So, I saw this ad
with a cute little dolphin,

which made me think
of the ocean,

which has waves.

Do you see where
I'm going with this?

- Not even remotely.
- Hydroelectric power.

Underwater turbines. It's
a virtually untapped market

and it could take Morrell
bicoastal and generate new...

I'm leaving the company.

- What did you just say?
- I need to move on.

Has the world been saved
and nobody told me?

- Because that was our goal.
- Yeah, I know.

I know, and I'm sorry
to spring this on you,

but it's not something
I planned.

[exhales] A friend of mine
died unexpectedly.

Luna. You met her
at the, uh, racetrack.

Oh, my God, Jeff, I'm so sorry.

It's kind of hit me harder
- than I expected.
- Well, obviously,

you should take
as much time as you need,

and know that there's
always a spot here for you,

because, well, I need you.

I appreciate that.

But the company's
up and running now.

And I need time to figure out
what's next for me.

Well, I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't disappointed,

but I do understand.

You will be impossible
to replace.

- Thank you.
- Jacob,

get me Bryce Bayer
the headhunter.

I need résumés for a
Jeff replacement ASAP.

[chuckles]
That was quick.

Could've at least, uh, waited
until I was out of the room.

Oh, but then it wouldn't
have been as fun.

Here you go. I'm officially
returning your earrings.

Although I don't really
get the hurry,

'cause I wasn't gonna
flee the country.

No, but I am.
You remember Charlie, right?

Yeah, your agent/girlfriend?
That's still happening?

Yeah, it's going great.
She just booked me

a modeling gig in Milan.

In frickin' Italy!

Yeah, I-I know where Milan is.

We're leaving tomorrow night.

I'm gonna go
pack right now.

Thank you so much
for bringing these back.

Ugh, don't they
just scream Italy?

[laughs softly]

- She seems bubbly.
- Her agent just booked her

a gig in Milan.

Really? Charlie?

- Why do you say it like that?
- Well, I'm dating

one of her clients, Sasha,
and it seems like Charlie

is skimming more than
her fair share of profits.

I hope she's not doing
the same thing to Kirby.

D-Did you ask her?
No.

We're not exactly on
the greatest of terms right now.

But if Charlie's
scamming our friend,

then we owe it to her
to do something.

Maybe all Kirby needs
is a really good lawyer.

BRYCE:
Is everything okay?

No. This fertility smoothie
tastes like sewage.

I hate kale.
And everything else in here.

But these candidates you're
showing me are not much better.

I thought you were the best
recruiter in town, Bryce.

I am not looking

for a new employee, I am looking
for a new Jeff Colby.

Meaning what? They need to look
- great in a turtleneck?
- No. Meaning,

somebody who cares about people,

and the environment.

You know, all that crap.
Jeff was that moral compass

I needed to be a positive force
in the world.

- Find me a new compass.
- I can get you new potentials,

though hearing you talk
about Jeff Colby that way,

I'm surprised
he's moving on to Big Pharma.

What did you just say?

I heard he's looking
- for a job in that sector.
- Hold on. Are you sure

you didn't hear him say
he's looking for a "big farm"?

Because he told me

he needed time alone.

Oh, my God.

He's lying to me?

And used his dead
friend to prey

on what little empathy I have?

Who is he meeting with?

I only heard rumors.

And it's probably
not even a real thing.

I just assumed you knew.

I should go.
No, no, no.

You are not going
anywhere, Bubba.

I will shove this
disgusting mulch

down your throat
unless you write down

exactly where, when and with
whom my cousin is meeting.

Pick your poison.

♪

Where did you get these?
This is Alexam's exclusive

product launch, not a three-
year-old's birthday party.

Try again.

ADAM:
Mother? We have an issue

with the Miracle Cream shipment.

Did they forget to put
my signature on the packaging?

I knew I should have
reminded them.

As much of a tragedy
as that would be,

we have an actual problem.

The driver delivering
the shipment

lost control, flipped the truck

and now all of the product
is at the bottom

of the Chattahoochee River,
and the driver is in the ICU.

All of it?

Yes, yes, thoughts and prayers
to the driver,

but what about our party?

We can't have a
product launch

without product.

Why did you wait until
the last minute to ship it?

I was playing hardball.

Look, there's no need
for finger-pointing.

Uh, we'll just pay
a little extra

for rush delivery
of a second batch.

All right, uh, yeah,
I can handle that.

I know the manufacturing team
well now.

They, uh...
They respect my authority.

Perfect. You deal with that, and
I will go over the guest list

to make sure everyone

who is anyone is coming.

Sammy Jo invited a bunch
of influentials for us.

I think you mean "influencers."

Exactly. See,
we make a great team.

Amanda doesn't know
what she's talking about.

Well, that's something
we can definitely agree on.

You want a slice?

We're going to Italy.

We'll be eating
Italian food for a week.

Yeah, but it's pizza.

Good point.

What a surprise running
into you two here.

Oh, I am starving.
You don't mind, do you?

Okay, well, I guess we don't.

Charlie, you remember Amanda.

She's the one who helped me
with the shampoo commercial.

CHARLIE:
Oh, right.

The art nouveau photographer.

So you're also an acting coach?

No, no, just a photographer,
slash, uh, lawyer, actually.

Which reminds me. I'm curious,

do you have the same basic
agreement for all your clients?

'Cause I know
you're taking,

what, like, 40% from Sasha?

If you really are a lawyer,

you know I can't discuss
my client's deal

- without them present.
- Right.

I respect that.

But Kirby's here,
so w-what about her contract?

'Cause we could all take
a look at that together.

Uh, Amanda, what are you doing?

- Are you Kirby's lawyer?
- I'm her friend who's looking out for her.

It feels more like you're
accusing me of something,

and I'm not sure
I like the implication.

KIRBY:
Okay, let's all relax.

Amanda, where is this
coming from?

Look, I just know
that things get hidden

in the fine print,

and I don't want you
to be taken advantage of.

I can assure you,
Kirby's in very good hands.

This is a huge deal
for me and Charlie,

and I trust her.

I'm a big girl.
I can look after myself.

Of course. Right.

[clears throat]
I'm sorry, uh...

Enjoy your pizza.

Honestly, I was expecting
cheap department-store quality,

but this isn't bad at all.

Since you're consulting
on our party for free,

I will accept
the backhanded compliment.

Yeah, you need to pay
if you want normal compliments.

But I am
thrilled to help.

I need to take
- my mind off things.
- Oh, right.

I'm sorry to hear about
your whole new sick father deal.

Your concern is touching.

And it's okay,
he's being treated

by some of the best
doctors available.

So, uh...

when can I try this Miracle
Cream I keep hearing about?

I need help fighting
- these stress lines.
- Soon.

Right now, I need
to figure out what to do

about the lack of RSVPs from
the Peach Tree Society members.

Well, I can tell you
what to do about that.

Be grateful.
That is not the crowd you need.

And it won't mix well with mine.

Look at this.

What is that?

That club is all over
the Internet now.

This is what these people can
do for you tomorrow night.

It's what advertising
looks like nowadays.

And they do this just for free?

Influencers can be
somewhat entitled,

so if you can throw in some
swag bags, free samples,

whatever, they can definitely
make your business

an overnight success
with a single hashtag.

I do like the sound of that.

Oh, and I had this great idea

for a literal
Fountain of Youth...

[mouthing]

...filled with your product.

And I have this
fountain guy.

I need to call him.

All right, bad news,
the manufacturer

can't make another batch of
product in time for the party,

so unless you're planning
on filling that fountain

with water, we should
probably postpone.

Unacceptable.

The PR machine
has already started.

Sammy Jo dropped the invite,
whatever that means.

I have an idea.

It's your formula.
Grab a lab coat,

work with the chemists
and whip up a batch in-house.

I love how all your great
ideas mean more work for me.

So, how big do we want
the fountain to be?

Plenexia seems like
a perfect fit for me.

I'd love an opportunity

to really shake things up
in the pharmaceutical industry.

Any examples
you'd care to share?

FALLON:
Yeah, Jeff,
I think we'd all like

to hear your thoughts
on Big Pharma.

Fallon. What are you doing here?

Oh, I'm just checking in.

Seeing how all the depression
is going.

- Is this your therapist?
- Aren't you Fallon Carrington?

Right you are.

Jeff worked for me
up until this morning.

I thought

that he was taking
some time off,

- but clearly I was wrong.
- JEFF: Yeah, Fallon, we're kind of

in the middle of something here.
I can explain it all later.

What is there to explain?
You lied.

You told me
you needed time alone.

I didn't realize that meant
time alone at a new job.

This is making me uncomfortable.

Whatever is
going on here,

it's clear you two
need to figure it out.

And when you do,

please don't call.

Marvin, please,
just-just wait a second.

What is the matter with you?

With me?

I am not the one
who used a friend's death

to get out of working together.

I didn't lie.
I was trying to get a job

at Plenexia because of Luna.

She had
neurotoxicity, too,

but she couldn't afford
to pay for her meds

because of the manufacturer's
insane markup.

[exhales]
The manufacturer being...

Plenexia.
I needed that job

so I could get
their drug formula.

I wanted to make them pay
for what they did to Luna

and ensure it never happens
to anyone else again.

Jeff, why didn't
- you just tell me this?
- Because it's illegal,

and you'd have tried
to talk me out of it.

But now we don't have
to worry about that.

Because you ruined
the only chance I had

to make Luna's death matter,
so thanks.

[both laugh]

What's so funny?

Oh, there you are.
This is Henry.

He was just showing me
this Jeff Bezos video

with a Taylor Swift song
playing, but different words.

- Yeah, I don't get it.
- Oh, well, the--

- You just have to know the song.
- Since I don't,

are you, um,
are you ready to go?

I've done about
as much hosting as I can.

I've got to get back to work.

We just got here.

Remember, you're supposed
to be loosening up.

Oh, there she is.
Cristal, Blake,

before you go, allow me
to introduce my wife.

Sonya Jackson? Wow.

Look at you. Oh...

Blake Carrington, finally.

BLAKE:
Uh, Cristal,
this is Sonya,

my very good friend from Yale.

And Sonya, this is
my wife Cristal.

SONYA:
I'm so glad we caught you.
I've been bobbing

and weaving my way through small
talk just trying to get to you.

Now we can get
the party started,

like we did in the old days.

I wish we could, but Blake
here needs to get back to work.

Don't be ridiculous.

The sun hasn't even set yet.

Come on, you can
stay a little longer.

Oh, I know.
Blake can tell us the story

about how he brought two dates
to a formal by mistake,

but, you know,
went back and forth

- and never got caught.
- Oh.

I'd like to hear that story.

I didn't want to hurt
anyone's feelings.

If you think about it,
I was being polite.

Oh, please,
all you did

was break young girls'
hearts back then.

Which you're probably
still doing today,

by the looks of you.

Yeah, uh, maybe we can
stay for a little while.

Mother.

The chemists and I
were up all night,

and day, but we pulled it off.

Oh, thank God.

I never doubted you for a...

jar.

Where is the rest?

There is no rest. This is it.

Do you know how
difficult it is

to make this stuff?

No, that is your area
of expertise.

Or at least,
I thought it was.

What the hell am I supposed
to do with one jar?

Sam's people won't promote
product they don't have.

[sighs]

Now we have to cancel.

I need to call the office
and tell them to stop prepping.

[chuckles]
Maybe Amanda was right.

Maybe I should
go back to painting.

No, we can figure
this out. Just...

Okay. If anyone
knows how to work

with the hand
they've been dealt, it's you.

Come on.

True.

We just... need to work
with what we've got.

It's not about quantity,
it's about

presentation
and manipulation.

Two areas in which I excel.

[softly]:
Baby, baby, baby, baby...

Fallon?

Hey! Um...

What are you doing in here?
I mean, is everything okay?

Yeah, I feel like I should be
asking you that.

You seem
- a little on edge.
- Me?

No. No, no, no, no, no.
I just...

You know, I'm just thinking
about Jeff leaving the company.

Sometimes I
have a tendency

to make things all about me,

and it can backfire.

This is where
you're supposed to say,

"No, Fallon, you don't do that."[laughs]

Oh, you still want me
to say that, or... No.

No, just forget it.
The point is, I ruined something

that Jeff wants,
and I'm trying to make it right,

but no one at Plenexia

- will return my calls.
- I'm impressed.

You're usually not this upset
about other people's problems.

Unless there's
- something else going on.
- Hmm?

No. No, no, no,
no. Just me.

Growing. Um...

But I want to
talk about you.

I mean, how's the writing going?

Ugh, terrible.
I-I-I can't figure anything out.

I tried calling Culhane for
advice, but he was no help.

So I just-- I don't know,
I think I'm screwed.

Oh, I'm sure
it's not that bad.

You've read the
- script, right?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay. I just need
to find a way

to get Farrah in
this final boardroom scene.

Now, it seems simple, but
it's a house of cards.

And as soon as I come
up with one solution,

- everything falls apart.
- Well, maybe you're thinking

about it in the wrong way.

I mean, maybe Farrah
doesn't have to be

in the scene at all.

If you can't get her
into the boardroom, then...

Then what?

Jeff? No, no, no, no. Stop.

Don't hang up on me. Listen,

I think I may have found a way
to get you what you want.

Just don't make
any plans tonight.

I'm so sorry, I have to go,
but thank you.

For what?

MICHAEL:
You've done the best you can.

If Kirby respects Charlie,
then there's nothing we can do.

Their relationship
is none of our business.

Um, I beg to differ.

That woman was extremely dodgy

when I brought up
those contracts, okay?

If she's robbing Kirby,
then we have to expose her.

Even if Kirby specifically
asked you to butt out?

Unless there was
some other reason

that you're dying
to get involved

that you're not
willing to share.

No, I'm just protecting Kirby.

She's clearly blinded
by lust, okay?

You know what?

She's gonna be grateful when
we prove that her girlfriend

is just a liar with bad hair.

Aren't they getting on a plane
to Milan tonight?

Yes, that does
complicate things.

If I could just get a look
at the contract somehow, then...[sighs]

I may regret saying this.

Sasha told me
that Charlie

keeps a copy of all
her contracts on her phone

in case she ever needs
to pull anything up.

Okay, well,
that's brilliant news.

I-I just need to get
my hands on that phone.

[gasps]
You know something else.

Okay, out with it.
Come on, no turning back.

Sasha may have also said

that she and a
few other models

that Charlie reps are working
the Alexam launch party tonight.

Okay, so Charlie's
gonna be there?

Okay, great, so we just
show up to the party,

we swipe the phone,
we forward Kirby's contracts

and then we just delete
all the evidence

so that she doesn't notice.

It's so simple.

This is not sounding
like a "we" type of situation.

I'm not comfortable
with any of this.

Right, and I totally respect
your wishes, I do,

I do. Um...

I am gonna need you
to distract Charlie, though,

so I can get my hands
on that phone.

So you don't actually respect
my wishes. At all.

It's a two-man job.
Oh, come on.

We owe Kirby as friends.

You'd better be
right about this.

I'm already
on thin ice with her.

And he says, "Blake? I thought
you were in Mont Blanc."

[laughter]

I had no idea you were
such a bad boy back then.

Oh, well...
Oh!

He was such a blast.

You know, I thought my
ex-husband was, you know, fun,

until I woke up
one morning

and realized
he was a boring old man.

But luckily,
I found Henry,

who has his youthful zest
for life.

BLAKE:
Yeah, I think you mean

he still has his youth.

Well, it's good to see
you're still young at heart,

despite being older.

Well, I think Cristal
keeps me young.

I try.

I had to drag him out
of the manor tonight.

SONYA:
Well, I'm glad she did.

You still clean up nice,
and you look as vibrant as ever.

BLAKE:
Well, I think
we better get going.

Seems like the party's
winding down.

Oh, I was hoping
we would spend more time

and to get to know
each other more intimately.

Let's get together soon.
We need more couple friends.

I've been trying to get
Blake to an Atlantix game.

HENRY:
Oh, that sounds fun, but, uh,

Sonya had something a bit
more private in mind.

BLAKE:Well, don't worry,
it's a private box,

and, uh, it'll be
just the four of us.

SONYA:
That's exactly
what I had in mind

for tonight.

My husband and I
are going to continue

this party in our suite.

We have a king bed,
and it has plenty of room

for two more people.

We do hope
you'll join us.

[dance music playing]

Well, this seems to be
going well, right?

Everyone seems to be
having a good time.

ALEXIS:
Only because they don't realize

there's no product yet.

Hey. My influencers
are getting antsy.

Where's the Miracle Cream
they all came here for?

Also, where's my jar?

I have something
planned for them.

They need to be patient.

Patients are for hospitals,
not exclusive parties.

This is the social
media elite.

Which means they are
all spoiled children

with attention deficit
disorders, so if you don't

start handing out free stuff,
you're gonna have a riot

on your hands.

What is... Oh. Oh, God.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you all for coming.

I am Alexis Colby,
founder of Alexam Corp...

[clears throat]
Cofounder,

along with my son Adam.

I know you all are eager to try

our groundbreaking
Miracle Cream.

But instead of just
handing out samples

like some cheap
department store,

we have something
a little more exciting planned.

Ladies.

[people oohing]

A little friendly competition.

When you post
with the hashtag Alexam,

you will receive an empty jar

from our Fountain of Youth display.

Each has a colored seal
under the cap.

Oh, I get it. It's
like Squid Game,

but with lotion
instead of blood.

ALEXIS:
Red means you're out
of the running.

Black means you get another jar
with another post.

But if you find the blue seal,

you will be the first
to try our product,

and win a lifetime supply
of Miracle Cream.

[whoops, laughs]

[scattered applause]

As well as a cash prize
of $1 million!

[cheering][laughs]:
Oh, my...

[chuckles]
Let the game begin.

♪ Party on the weekend,
party on the house... ♪

[phone ringing]

- Hello?
- WOMAN [over phone]: Is this Charlie Jiménez?

I'm calling from the airline.

Unfortunately,
your flight to Milan tonight

has been canceled,
and we just need to rebook you

on a different one
to leave in the morning.

What? Why was it canceled?

Actually, never mind,
just book it

and make sure both seats
are still first-class.

May I place you on a brief hold?

[phone beeps]
No, I'd rather...

Hey, Charlie.

Hi. I'm not sure
that we've met.

I'm... Michael Culhane,

- the one who used to date Kirby.
- That's right.

So, listen, uh, I saw Sasha
at the buffet table,

and her face is
looking really puffy.

I think she might be having
some kind of reaction?

Was she by the raw bar?
She's allergic to shrimp.

And she has a shoot tomorrow.

I need to find
the EpiPen in her bag.

Um, I can hold your phone
for you if that helps.

So you can give
- her the shot.
- Um...

You know what? I got
no signal over there before.

Look, I'm on hold,
can you just stay on the line,

and when the woman
comes back,

tell her to book it
and email me the details.

Yeah, you got it. Sure.

I was so much nicer than
normal customer service reps.

Yeah, you should get a job
at an airline. Will you hurry up

and find those
contracts?

KIRBY:
Amanda!

Kirby. What a surprise.

CRISTAL:
So, should we call the car?

Yeah. Mmm, I guess so.

- What else are we gonna do?
- Mm.

Unless you're still interested
in Sonya's proposal.

[both laugh]
She was probably kidding, right?

Oh... And you'd never go for
something like that anyway.

I mean, I'm adventurous.
I can be young and hip.

That something you would go for?

I don't know.

Don't you think
we're a little past

the point of experimenting?

Well, you make it sound
like we're 80 years old.

I think it would be exciting
to open up our marriage.

You were the one that said
you wanted to party, and that

I should loosen up, but hey,
if you want to go home,

I get it.

I am not afraid
to try new things.

And if we're
being honest,

our sex life hasn't
quite been the same

since the whole
Rita situation.

Maybe a little adventure is
just what the doctor ordered.

So... So we agree.

We're really doing this?

[laughs softly]
Looks like it.

[chuckles]

You really think
this is gonna work?

Yeah. Why put Farrah
in the boardroom scene

when she can just bribe
one of the VPs instead?

Sorry, Liam movie thing.

What I'm saying is, you don't
need to get a job at Plenexia

when you can just blackmail
someone who already works there.

Okay, that right there is
Dr. Hewitt, but she goes by TJ.

She is the lead chemist
over at Plenexia.

And she thinks she's here
because she won

some free giveaway
from Alexam.

What kind of giveaway?

A fake one. I told her
her name was randomly selected

from a list of people
in the pharmaceutical industry

to attend a launch party
for the new Miracle Cream.

Okay. You had a busy day.

It wasn't even that hard
to convince her.

This one rarely leaves
the house, so she was thrilled.

She'll give you
that formula, Jeff.

We just need to apply
the proper leverage.

KIRBY:
I didn't really want to come,

but I thought I should show up

and be a supportive girlfriend
for Charlie,

you know?

She truly doesn't deserve you.

You might be right.
I can't even find her.

Have you seen her?

Uh, Charlie? No.

No? Hmm.

I'm gonna text her.

[phone chiming]

Wait, that's...

Why do you have Charlie's phone?

- This is great. Thank you.
- FALLON: Hey.

I'm Fallon Carrington,

and you must be TJ.

I hear you're
Alexam's big winner.

Ms. Carrington,
thank you so much.

I never win anything.

Or really
go out to parties.

Well, not anymore.
I mean I used to, at Duke,

but you know how it is:
marriage, kids, mah-jongg.

Tell me about it, sister.
You know, sometimes a girl

just needs to drop the tiles

and let loose,
am I right?

I have been dying to let loose.

Oh, yeah? I'm glad to hear that,
because I think

that hunk of a male model
behind me

wants to have
a little fun.

Fun with me?

Yeah, you bet your
cat-frame glasses he does.

I'll introduce you.

[chuckles]:
Oh, uh, I don't know.

Oh, please. Live a little.

Do it for the Tar Heels.

W-We're the Blue Devils.

Ah, that's even better.
Hey, so, TJ,

this is Scott, and I
think Scott would love

to do a shot with us.

- Hi. Okay, great.
- Yeah?

All right.
Can we get a round of shots?

Thank you.

Here you go.

To letting loose.

To letting loose.

[giggles]

[exhales]

Ooh.

Ah. Get into it. Mm.

Oh. In she goes.

Look at that.

CHARLIE:
I should call the police,

or at least file
a restraining order.

I didn't try and steal
your phone, okay?

It's not even
the latest version.

Then why did you have it
in the first place?

CHARLIE:
She clearly got it
from your friend Michael,

who was holding my phone

while I dealt with
Sasha's allergy,

which, of course,
was a false alarm.

Okay, but don't
be mad at Culhane.

I-I made him do it
because I was just

trying to take a look
at your contract.

I think she's scamming
you out of money.

You're nuts!
You don't even know me.

I know you're taking
more of Sasha's earnings

than you should be.

When I took Sasha on,
she was a liability.

No one wanted
to work with her.

She was a diva,
rude, constantly disappearing

before wrapping a shoot.

Now I have to pay
her completion guarantee

out of pocket
if she wants a job.

AMANDA:
Look, I was...

just trying to protect you.

KIRBY:
Did it ever
occur to you

that I might read
through my contract

before agreeing
to anything?

That I'm not
a complete moron?

It's a fair deal.
I signed it two hours ago.

SONYA:
We have a flight to catch,

which I'm assuming is not
actually cancelled?

I'm her manager

and her girlfriend.

Kirby doesn't need anyone else
protecting her.

For the first time

in a really long time,

I'm actually happy.

I thought you
of all people

- would want that for me.
- I do.

Kirby, just let me explain.

Comfortable?

- Oh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?
- So comfortable. Thank you.

Good. Henry's just getting
out of the shower.

- He'll be ready in a minute.
- Great.

- Okay. Clean is good.
- Quick question, are either of you

allergic to artificial flavors?

Uh... Not that I'm aware of.

Perfect.

Then as soon as you finish
your drinks, we'll, uh,

move to the bedroom.

Don't keep us waiting.

[stifled laugh]
Artificial flavors? Seriously?

I don't know what that means.

I hope it's not grape.

Be honest.

Are you starting
to have second thoughts?

Me? No.

No, I'm-I'm into it if you are.

Okay, well, if this
is what you want,

then we will plow ahead,

so to speak.

Well, hold on, I-I never said

I wanted to swing
with a random couple.

I'm only doing this because
I thought you liked the idea.

Well, didn't you say you wanted
me to be more adventurous?

I just wanted you
to wear a different shirt.

But then I saw you all
hot and bothered with Sonya,

and it seemed like
you had decided

that this was what you needed.

Yeah, I'll admit that
it was nice to be admired,

but that's all it was.

I was only doing this

to impress you.

You impress me every day.

And honestly? I just want
to get in bed and relax.

Our bed, not theirs.

Well, then, what the hell
are we still doing here?

SONYA [distant]:
Are you two coming?

Don't make me get the paddle.

Hey, TJ. There's someone
I'd like to introduce you to.

Ooh, another model? Yummy.

Should we get some shots again?

No, this is my cousin Jeff.

And he's not here
to make out with you.

Oh.
JEFF:
But I am here

to talk to you, Doctor.

About what?

What's going on here?

I need the molecular formula

for Plenexia's
neurotoxicity treatment.

What? I can't give you that.

Is this part of the giveaway?

Because I don't
really get it if it is.

FALLON:
The thing about the giveaway

is that there isn't one.

I just needed an excuse
to get you out of the house

and at this party.

Are you crazy?

All this just to ask me
for the formula?

And to take this picture

if you decided
to say no.

Oh, wow. Wow.
That is unfortunate.

Especially since I know your
divorce isn't final yet.

It would be a real shame if this
were to fall into the hands

of, I don't know, say,
your soon-to-be ex?

JEFF:Hey, look, we don't want anyone
to see this, either, okay?

So if you just
hand over the formula,

the picture gets deleted.

Go ahead, send the photo
to whoever you want.

That's not the way
this was scripted.

Do you know how evil
that company is?

Their price gouging
killed my friend.

And you two are such saints?
You just tried to blackmail me.

Yeah, but for a good cause.

I know the people I work for.

Believe me, I'm not loyal,
I'm scared.

You don't mess with them.
Excuse me.

Uh, TJ?

TJ, wait.

Forget the photo, okay?

We were never gonna send it.
And I know you're scared.

I get it, because... I just
found out I'm pregnant.

And I want to
make things better

for my kid, but the world
is a really messed up place,

so we have to be the
ones to take the risk,

otherwise, our kids

are just gonna have
all the same problems.

So we have to be
the brave ones, for them.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

It was a good speech, though.

Congrats on the pregnancy.

- Pleasure. #Alexam.
- That's right. #Alexam.

[pop music playing]

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

- Hey!
- Come on, baby.

I got it.

The blue seal. I won!

- H-Hey.
- That should have been mine.

You cut me off.

Ladies, I'm-I'm sure
we can work this out.

WOMAN:
It's in my hand,

so it's mine.

SAM:
Ooh, this isn't good.

[women muttering]

Let go!

[people gasping]

Oh, wow.

This is turning
into a PR nightmare.

You better stop it now.

What am I supposed to do?
They're wild animals.

SAM:
Well, it's your party
and your company.

If you can't stop it, who can?

SAM: Okay...[shouting]

Where'd it go?

[excited chatter]

SAM:
Oh, my God.

WOMAN:
Look out! Ow! Ow!

[all gasping]

[excited chatter]

What is...?Oh, no. No.

ALEXIS:
There you are.

ALEXIS:
Take it. You won.

I got it. I won!

We have a winner!
Congratulations!

ALEXIS:
Thank you all for coming.

It's been a fabulous night.

SAM:
Does this mean

- I get the lifetime supply?
- Not a chance. Okay!

I'm so glad we came back home.

I don't know what
I was thinking tonight.

Really? Because I think you do.

Okay, you're right.

I guess I was feeling,
um... out of date.

- Boring.
- Why?

When the bank denied me, I felt
like I was being pushed out

of a younger man's game.

And then Sonya kept talking
about her old, boring ex.

If you ever feel the need
to describe me that way,

you just put me
out of my misery.

I love you.

And one thing
you'll never be is boring.

You've just
been in a funk.

But if I wanted polygamy or
someone to go clubbing with,

I would've chased after boys.

I prefer a man

who can make things happen,
and that's you.

You're right.

This will just take a second.

Tim? Yeah,
it's Blake Carrington.

I know it's late,
so I'll be brief.

If Skadden Bank
wants my business,

which will soon be worth
billions-- that's with a B--

that loan had better be approved
by end of the day tomorrow,

or I will take my business
somewhere else.

Good night.

Now, that was hot.

Well, now that that's settled,
maybe we get back

to our business.

[both laugh]

I'm sorry my speech
didn't exactly pan out.

I don't suppose I could convince
you to come back here now?

No, I didn't think so,
but it was worth a shot.

Okay, are we just not

gonna talk about the fact
that you're pregnant?

Do people know? Is it a secret?

I'm not pregnant.
I mean, you know,

Liam and I are trying,

just not yet.

I only said that to tug
at TJ's heartstrings.

Damn. So you can't even blame
your craziness on hormones.

Hey.

Hot tip, you are not allowed

to blame female hormones
for anything.

Point taken.
[clears throat]

No, it's just that
all my legacy-building plans

are not exactly
panning out, you know?

I thought by now I would
be ridding the world

of fossil fuels and be
the queen of philanthropy,

that Liam and I would have
a baby on the way, but...

so far I'm O for three.

Okay, uh, what does my leaving
have to do with any of that?

Because you're my compass, Jeff.

I mean,

how am I gonna know what to do
if you're not right by my side

pointing me
in the right direction?

'Cause your heart's
in the right place.

You proved that tonight,
when you tried to extort

- that nice lady for me.
- Technically,

it was blackmail, but thank you.
That means a lot.

As far as pregnancy stuff goes,

you should really talk
to your husband about that.

And you're not listening,
which is one thing I won't miss.

No, I'm sorry, I just...
I got this text

from an unknown number.

Look at this. It's a location.

A specific lab
in Plenexia headquarters?

This has got
to be from TJ.

And it must be where
they keep the formula.

I guess my speech
actually worked.

And now, can I give
you a little speech

about not doing this?

I know you think you have to do,

but Jeff, you
have to remember,

these are
dangerous people.

I'll be careful.

I promise.

Are you all right?

You usually start
with a glass.

[sighs] Sam's influencers
took down their posts.

So basically, we have

no advertising the night
before our website goes live.

I should've known I didn't
have what it takes to do this.

Maybe it's best you just run
what's left of the company

- on your own.
- Don't say that.

This was a-a minor speed bump.

Mm-mm.

It feels like
a brick wall to me.

All I wanted

was to prove to my children--

and myself, mostly--

that I could succeed
in business,

but I couldn't even
throw a party.

Well, I thought the party game
was a brilliant move.

We were backed into a corner,
and you didn't give up.

And making Sam
the winner was genius.

You saved us a million dollars
and prevented a riot.

I'm proud of you.

You don't got nothing
to prove to no one.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Besides, I'm not
so sure the party

was as big a failure

as you think it was.

"Atlanta socialite

"Alexis Colby's
beauty line launch

"ends in mad scramble for merch.

Ooh.
Guests go rabid
for radiance"?

See? You were right.

People want
what they can't have.

And who needs
a hashtag

when you got press like this?

[giggles]

I was crazy to doubt myself.
Of course I have what it takes.

Mmm.

Still at it, I see.

There is no way
I'm gonna be able

to deliver these pages
by tomorrow.

[exhales]
I'm in huge trouble.

Mm.

Oh, how'd things go with Jeff?

Everything worked out,
for once.

Who knew being emotionally
honest with others

could be so effective?

- Most people?
- All right, well, on that note,

I took a pregnancy test earlier,

and it was negative.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

I'm-I'm fine, I just...

I didn't tell you right away
because I was disappointed,

and I didn't want you
to be disappointed, too.

I'm not worried.
Okay? We'll get there.

And plus, this just gives us
an excuse to keep trying.

You won't hear me complain.

You know, I was fake pregnant

for just a minute tonight
and I got to say, it felt right.

That's it.

That's how I get Farrah
into the family business

in the boardroom scene.

Uh, she fakes a pregnancy,

forcing her mother-in-law
to accept her.

- God, you're a genius.
- So I've been told.

Well, I guess you probably
want to write that scene down

while it's still fresh.

No. I can finish in the morning.

'Cause right now,

we have more
important work to do.

Thank God I caught you.

Whatever brilliant new evidence
you have about Charlie,

- I don't want to hear it.
- I don't have any.

I shouldn't have meddled.
It was...

It was wrong. I'm sorry.

Oh. Well, thanks.

I was thinking
about why I did it.

And I told myself that it was
because I didn't trust Charlie,

and I was protecting a friend,

but, um,

uh, I'm just not sure
that that's completely true.

Then why did you do it?

That is the question,
isn't it? Um...

You and I have gotten
to know each other

quite well
recently, and...

...I think
that you're fantastic.

So I guess I was
somewhat, um, jealous.

[laughs softly]
Jealous?

Amanda,

you're a
successful lawyer

and a genius and a good friend.

I'm just a dumb model.

What do you have
to be jealous of?

It's not what, it's who.
I-I'm not jealous of you, Kirby,

I'm jealous of Charlie.

Because she gets to be with you.

Oh.

I like you, Kirby.

I think that I have
for a while now.

But I do not want
to mess up anything

that you have with Charlie,
because I want you to be happy.

But you are not a dumb model.

Okay? You're funny
and you are kind

and you are clever, and, well,
you're pretty nice to look at.

And every time I'm with you,
I just, I-I feel like...

♪ We're strong enough
to let it go... ♪

I have to go.

♪ Oh, oh

♪ We're strong enough
to let it go ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh...
