Previously on Dynasty...
Your father offered me

the COO position.
That was supposed to be mine.

With Jeff's backing,
I will be your new competition.

And Robby, this is my boyfriend.

Did you see Robby Reid?

He said he met your boyfriend.
God, no.

I just told him that
so he'd get off my back.

Kori, this is
Michael Culhane.

*

SAM: Who do you think set up
tonight's little robbery?

I did all of this to help you,

and now you're telling me
that it's all your fault?

I'm sorry.
Well, I don't accept that.

We would like to pay
for Matthew's funeral.

We just don't want you
to worry about anything.

"Cristal Carrington sex tape"?
Is that real?

Oh, it's real.

BLAKE: It's you and Matthew,
all over the Internet.

Oh, my God.

BLAKE:
And what about Claudia?

Has anyone spoken to her?

("Everybody Wants to Rule
the World" playing)

*

* Welcome to your life

* There's no turning back

* Even while we sleep

* We will find you

* Acting on your best behavior

* Turn your back
on Mother Nature *

* Everybody wants
to rule the world *

* Help me make the most

* Of freedom and of pleasure

* Nothing ever lasts forever

* Everybody wants
to rule the world *

Mr. Carrington
wanted you to have this,

with his compliments.
(chuckles softly)

Where is he?

He said he'd meet you
at the office.

His way of saying,
"Don't be late."

* Lasts forever
Yvette!

* Everybody

* Wants to rule the world.

*

Where are you off to,
Cristal? Church?

Lord knows you love

to get down on your knees.
Actually,

Fallon, I'm headed
to the same place you are, work.

Well, not the same place,

'cause I'm heading in
for my first day

as COO of Carrington Atlantic,
and you're...

Do you even have an office yet?

Ballsy of you, showing your face
while your sex tape with Matthew

is still blowing up on YouTube.

We both know most
of those hits were from you.

But I wanted to thank you
for your kind words

to the paparazzi on my behalf.

Oh, please. I barely
said anything.

I figured, with your
background in PR,

you could handle your
affair all on your own.

As deftly as you handled
Matthew's rock-hard...
Excuse me.

I didn't know
that tape still existed,

but I owned up
to my part in it.

Blake and I agreed that it's
best that I put out a statement.

And now it's time to move on.

Adorable.

You think that scandal
is going away?

Not until Melania files
for divorce

or a Kardashian gets pregnant
with triplets.

At least I have some permanence
in my life.

How is your little company
going?

More "wind-down" than
"start-up," I hear.

Must be hard
not having the global reach

of Carrington Atlantic,
or any reach at all.

Are you still looking

for that first client?

What the hell
are you doing?

Good morning,
Mrs. Carrington.

Uh, no.
Culhane drives me to work.

Oh. Is that true,
Culhane?

Well, not today.
I'll be driving Mrs. Carrington.

(engine starts)

SAM:
Someone's looking sharp.

I start
at the foundation today.

Right. Boy gets exonerated
of murder charges,

boy runs his father's
billion-dollar charity

to help rebuild
his image.

Classic American story.

I've apologized a hundred times
for the robbery thing, Steven.

I feel terrible. I don't know
what else you want me to do.

Nothing. That's your specialty
around here, isn't it?

(scoffs) You're
being a little harsh.

You want harsh?

Ever since you rolled in here,

my family has given you
the world.

And you took it.
But that wasn't enough for you.

So you stole from us.

You lied to me.
And you're so myopic,

you don't even see the hell that
your actions have set in motion.

It was my friend
who got arrested, not yours.

I'm not talking about your f...

You know what, forget it.

Come on, Steven,
I am sorry.

Cristal and Blake
already forgave me.

That's their mistake.
I'm not making the same one.

(door opens)

(door shuts)

FALLON:
I'm sorry I'm late.

Some douche in a Caddy
cut me off.

You drove yourself here?
Glad I wasn't on the road.

Don't start, okay?
I've had a morning.
Then I got good news for you.

Guess who made the list
of Atlanta Digest's

upcoming "Top Women
in Business" issue?

What?
PR guy sent me the
list this morning.

Congratulations, partner.
But how?

I didn't even submit myself.

You did this for me?

For us.

Could be great PR
for the company.

I just figured, after I lost us
the Atlanta utility contract...

Losing a billion-dollar client
was punishment enough.

Besides, you deserve
to be recognized.

Well, you son of a bitch.

You know, I've been trying
to get on this list
for three years.

And if you land Woman
of the Year, you get the cover.

Businessmen at every
newsstand will thank me.

You're right. I mean, this kind
of exposure could help us

land clients and really expand
into something legit.

I mean, as you said,
we're in this together, right?

Right. Now you just have to beat
out your wicked stepmother.

Are you kidding me?

Cristal "Check Out My Crotch"
Carrington made the list, too?

I'm sure she was submitted
before the deadline last week.

That sex tape just hit
the Web a few days ago.

Hey, don't worry. I think you
got a leg up on her this time.

Well, she's the one
with her legs up.

That's why I'm gonna win.

BLAKE: Today begins a new era
at Carrington Atlantic.

Cristal will be transitioning
into her role

as COO starting today.

(scattered clapping)

And I'm sure that you all
give her your complete support.

Of course.

Congratulations,
Cristal. Well deserved,

indeed.
Thank you, Deirdre.

Appreciate your kind words.

Kylie, I think
a press release is in order.

Uh, yes.
Yes, of course, Mr. Carrington.

I will get that out right away.

And be sure to also add
something about Cristal

making Atlanta's
"Top Women in Business" list.

The magazine

will be hosting
a luncheon tomorrow

to announce Woman of the Year.

CRISTAL: It's an honor
to be nominated.

But the biggest honor
is my new role here.

And I look forward
to working

closely with each
and every one of you.

That went as well
as I could've hoped.

Well, we knew today
was gonna be tough.

But you held your head high,
and you acted like a pro.

I just want to put
this scandal behind me.

If I can't prove that
I'm worthy of this job,

then I can't be effective.

I'm sure that was
the worst of it.

Claudia.

Blake. Cristal.

What are you doing here?

I'm picking up
Matthew's death benefit.

I imagine Willy's family
will come by soon for his.

It's a tacky term,
isn't it?

Since the only one benefiting
from their deaths is you.

We were upset
to hear about Willy.

But at least
it brought you some closure,

considering
his confession.

(scoffs)
Please.

Willy did not kill Matthew.

You're the common denominator
in both of these tragedies.

Oh, Cristal, you're
awfully quiet. I wonder why.

How are you feeling, Claudia?

Don't patronize me.

You didn't seem to care
about my feelings

when you taped yourself
screwing my husband.

We should go.
I'm so sorry, Claudia.

I wish you nothing but the best.

You don't want to know
what I wish for you, Cristal.

You ruined our
lives, you hear me?

Okay. We're done here.

Yes. Get back to work,
you company tramp.

Or is it company slut?

Which do you prefer?
You know, you may

have married into money,
but you are still

nothing more
than a well-paid whore!

*

Gustav,
those fingers are magical.

Don't be afraid to go deeper.

My pleasure.
Can I help you?

"May I help you?"

And it seems
that you're...

quite busy helping yourself.

(sighs)

Be a doll and
go get more lube.

Sure.

What do you want, Alfred?

Anders.

Or Joseph,

if we were on a first name
basis, which we're not.

Joseph. Like half of my name.

We're... Jo and Jo.

(short chuckle)
I take it

you and Steven are no longer
having... relations?

Hit the seven day
itch, no doubt?

Just because two gay guys
are living in the same house,

you automatically assume
we're having sex?

The housekeeper reported that
your bed linen remained unmussed

for the first several days
of your stay here.

Steven's, on the other hand,
were... quite mussed.

What's your point?

You helped engineer
a robbery in this home.

And now that
you no longer

have the protection of
Steven's caring arms,

I would have thought
you might have

changed your leisurely
ways around here.

(knocking)

Kylie, come in.

I need your help.
I know when I headed PR

you handled print media.

Uh, yeah.
Yeah, still do.

Well, my interview and
photo shoot for Atlanta Digest

is this afternoon, and I've been

reading over
their potential questions.

I'm sure they're gonna
ask about my personal life,

so I just want to sound
thoughtful yet personable.

Yeah, you know, I really
wouldn't worry about it so much.

I mean, they only publish
the answers for the person

who lands
Woman of the Year.

Right.
Well, I don't expect that.

I mean, of course,
it would be nice.

Of course. Of course,
but, um...

you know,
maybe this year...

There's been a lot of whispering
behind my back.

Why don't you tell me
how you really feel?

Go ahead.

Free pass.

Okay.

Who you bang--
that's your business.

But you know
the conversations

happening about women
in the workplace.

And we can't even get mentors
because guys like Mike Pence

are too afraid
to have dinner with us,

so when you sleep with the boss

and when your wedding ring
comes with a promotion...

it kind of feels like
you proved them right.

This job was offered to me
long before any ring.

Yeah, but that's not what people
are talking about, is it?

They're talking about your ass,

and that just makes it harder
for all of us. I can't believe

I'm saying this, but at least
if Fallon had gotten the job...

no one would have accused her
of sleeping her way there.

So you're down with nepotism?

Not at all.

But at least that
only reflects badly on Blake.

Not an entire gender.

Thank you for your honesty.

(door closes)

Thanks for coming in.
We'll be in touch

about the grant.

Your next appointment
is here,

from the Sky Conservancy
organization.
Great, I'm ready.

Mr. Carrington,
this is...
Ted Dinard?

Hi. I, uh, I didn't know that...

We're good, Garrett, thanks.

I-I thought
that you left the company

a while ago.

I'm a, uh, recent rehire.

Lucky me.

So, you have a proposal for us?

Yeah. Right. Uh, I've been

working with Sky Conservancy
in New York.

We heard you're offering
grants to organizations trying

to improve air quality.
We are.

Our goal is to work
directly with companies

still operating
coal fuel plants,

in an effort to
reduce emissions.

We've outlined...
Well, this looks like
a very detailed proposal,

and I will review it later.
But I'm, um,

late for another meeting
right now.

I thought I was your meeting.

Uh, my assistant double-booked.

I understand.

It was nice seeing you, Steven.

A moment, Blake.
Only one, Deirdre.

I've got a call
with our Daqing

field office.
I'm concerned about Cristal.

She's green, Blake.

Sure, she's filled
with energy and spirit,

but are you certain she's ready
for the COO position?

Of course I am.
That's why I promoted her.

Unfortunately, our clients
aren't as confident as you.

The Talbertson Group.

Our oil fields
provide their refineries

with a steady supply.

Sales exceeded $100 million
last year.

They're concerned
about your judgment as of late.

Exactly how concerned
are they?

They're threatening
to pull their account.

They're based in Katy, Texas.

It's a very conservative region.

Cristal's... personal life

may have played a role
in their decision.

And what are you
suggesting we do?

If it helps,

I'm happy to step in
as interim COO,

until things settle down
for Cristal.

I realize this puts you
in an uncomfortable position.

But just... think about it.

(indistinct conversations)

Beautiful.
Looking great, Fallon.

Oh, it's gorgeous.

Thank you.
Oh, yeah.

It's so great, right?

That's so beautiful.

One of those should make
for a great cover, don't

you agree, Cristal?
Mmm...

Stilettos are a little much,
don't you think?

I mean, this isn't Vogue.

This is about women in business.

Oh. Well, I just figured
since you were here,

this must be Penthouse.
My bad.

You know you don't
have a chance at this, right?

I believe any one of us
could end up on the cover.

Oh, anyone but you.

They're not going to showcase
a woman whose sexual promiscuity

sets the rest of us back
a decade.

They're trying
to sell magazines.

If you were a real businesswoman
you'd know that.

You might have a point, Fallon.

Diana.
Ah, Cristal, dear.

Have you had a chance
to sit for your interview?

Yes, I just finished. I wanted
to tell you how flattered I am

to be included among
so many powerful women.

It is an important issue,
isn't it?

Yes. And I was
thinking, you know

what would be even more
amazing than having

one powerful woman
on the cover? Ten.

I hear you.
But it's a tradition.

We've been doing this
since we first ran in 1968.

Right, with men. But you've
only been featuring women

the last nine years. So maybe
this anniversary issue

could be time for a change.

Plus, you know I headed PR

at a Fortune 500 company
for years.

Doing a big cover spread

featuring multiple influencers

tends to sell more magazines.

And that's the name
of the game, right?

I like it.

And I like you.

It takes guts to stand tall
in the face of adversity.

Ladies, can I have you all
gather together?

We're going to do something
a little different this year.

We're going to try
a group photo.

Mmm. Oh,

uh, Fallon, just...

Just...

Yeah. Fallon,

those shoes give you
a bit of height.

Best you move to the back.

We want to see
everyone's faces and, uh,

Cristal, why don't you
come forward?

Let's see how that works.
Oh. Well,

whatever you think's
best, Diana.

I think you spoke too soon.

Looks like we both
still have a shot

at Woman of the Year.
PHOTOGRAPHER:
Ladies, right here.

Oh, let's break
those colors up.

Fallon, you...

Yeah. Get...

Just move to the end.

To the end. Yes,
there you go.

Okay, I need everyone
to squeeze in.

* With what I need...

And... one,

two...

* What I want.

Steven, Ted Dinard's here
to see you. Last time I saw him

I assumed would be
the last time I saw him.

I need to talk to you,
and the office

didn't feel like
the right place.

I've said I'll review

your proposal.
I have

nothing else
to discuss.

I can't go back to New York

until I say what I'm gonna say.

Two minutes?

I don't have two minutes.

Hey, I know I screwed up
in the past.

But believe me,
Steven,

I get it.

You don't trust me.

But I've changed.

(chuckles)
Well, that's the same song

you used to sing
to me every day.

I didn't want to contact you

until I'd been clean
for two years.

So...

this is what 736 continuous days

of sobriety looks like.

And not a day has passed
that I haven't thought of you,

or us, and

I am just so...
so sorry.

My dad told me everything,
you know?

That he offered you
a-a quick payoff

to go away, and you took it?
What kind of person does that?

What kind of man offers
an addict that kind of money?

If I was in my right mind,
I never would have taken it.

It's my single biggest regret,

and I am just
so happy that

I didn't bring you down with me.

So, with all your sobriety,

you still lied to me.

Your visit had nothing
to do with getting a grant.

No. We need the money
for new hires.

But I did know that you were
getting a promotion.

And I was looking

for an excuse to see you.

I am finally in a really
good place in my life.

I'm on decent terms
with my father

for the first...
I don't want
to mess that up.

I'm happy for you.

I really am.

I'm at the St. James...
if you want to talk.

CRISTAL:
Diana is

so inspiring.

She's a strong
female leader,

but she's really open

to collaboration.
A great afternoon,

wouldn't you say, Fallon?
Oh, it's hard

to believe
it topped your morning.

Word on the street is
that Claudia Blaisdel

stopped by the office for a
little rant-and-rave session.

That's none of your
concern, Fallon.
I didn't say
I was concerned, Daddy.

Well, everything in moderation,

especially family bonding.

I have work to do.

Steven, you've been quiet.
How was your first day

at the foundation?

(classical music playing)

What? Oh.

I'm sorry.
It went well, yeah.

Have a lot on my mind.

Like the St. James Hotel?

I have a lot of proposals
to review,

so, should probably
get back to it.

Does anyone know
what's for dessert?

You two kids probably
want to dine alone.

How old is he again?

I'm sorry about Fallon.

She shouldn't have said
anything about Claudia.

She didn't say anything

I haven't already
said to myself.

I've been thinking
a lot about this morning.

Claudia has every right to be
upset with me. I lied to her.

She's not well, Cristal.

And considering her condition
and her erratic behavior,

I've asked for more
security at the office.

And it might not be a bad idea

for you to take a step back
out of the public eye

until things settle.

Well, it's kind of hard
to take a step back

when you're COO
of a major company.

Well, maybe you should take
a step back from that, as well.

We'll get PR to help
rebuild your image.

And then you can resume your
role with less distractions.

So now you're losing
faith in me, too?
No, of course not.

It's just that the
kind of business

we're in-- optics
are important.

I see.

Well, I'm sorry I'm not
keeping up appearances for you.

(sighs)

(door opens)
FALLON:
There you are.

I've been texting you non-stop
for, like, 20 minutes.

I'm off the clock.

Well, I'm late for a
meeting, and I lost my keys.

I need to borrow
the spare set.

It's in a bowl
over there, silver tag.

That's it?
You want me
to start the car for you?

You don't have anything
you'd like to say to me?

Like an apology, maybe?

For what?
For sleeping
with the enemy.

Kori Rucks screwed me out of
a billion dollar contract.
If you want me to apologize

for Kori, you're gonna be
waiting for a long time.

As a matter of fact, you owe me
an apology for a lot of things,

but we can start
with that little game

that you played at the club
the other night.

Excuse me?
When you told
that Ivy League douche

that I was your boyfriend.
Well, yeah, but
I just said that...

To get away from that douche.

I know. I heard you tell Monica.

Well, is that why you slept
with Kori-- to get back at me?

Well, I don't use people
to hurt others, Fallon.

That's you.

Culhane, look,
I had no idea...

That the chauffeur has feelings?

Don't worry.
That's what you pay me for--

to keep things
strictly professional.

And right now,
I'm off the clock.

*

* What's been going on?

Twice in one day?

What a coincidence,
not that I'm complaining.

Fallon, dear,
what a pleasant surprise.

Again, I just want to
tell you how thankful I am

to be included
in your magazine.

You never pull punches
when it comes to reporting,

and that's what I
respect most about you.

Thanks. Enjoy your evening.

Although, if I'm being
totally honest,

I wasn't a huge fan of the
whole Kum-Bah-Yah group photo.

I mean, it's Woman of the Year,
after all,

not Sisterhood
of the Traveling Pantsuit.

(laughs)

Well, there is
always next year.

Yes, yes, and it
is your magazine.

Indeed.
Well, I mean,
not technically.

Technically, it's owned by
Channing-Martin Publishing.

Bob Channing's
daughter Pepper

is actually a close
friend of mine. It's funny.

Uncle Bob was just
asking me the other day

what I thought of the magazine.

You know, in light of the whole
"death to print" media trend.

We have an online
presence, as well.

No, right. But traditional
brands don't really mean

as much to online readers.

You know, they'd rather
discover fresh voices.

Where did I hear
that again?

Oh. Right. Uncle Bob.

Anyway, I'll be sure to tell
him you're trying your best.

Even though your freshest idea
today came from somebody else.

But there's always next year.

If you're still around.

* Casual.

MAN (on screen):
Yeah!
Thanks.

(swords clanking,
dramatic music playing)

(turns movie off)

What are you doing?

Watching Aladdin.

You've seen it?

I'm watching it now.

Spoiled thief
enters a kingdom

pretending to be
something he's not.

Only in this version,

I'm afraid
you're running out of wishes.

Yet I'm still here.
For now.

Well, I got to
enjoy it while I can.

Right?
Or perhaps

there's a way
to enjoy it for longer.

If you mean, like,
vacuuming, I think I'll pass.

You might be surprised
to hear this,

but I see something
of my younger self in you.

The rock hard abs,
the tight ass?

Your aimlessness,
your irreverence.

Your life has been hard,

so you think
you deserve an advantage.

There's nothing wrong
with taking something

if someone's offering.

No, but there is something wrong

with never having
earned anything yourself.

When I was your age,

I didn't have a plan
for the future

because I didn't think I'd have
the luxury of having one.

And then, I met
Mr. Carrington.

Oh. And so began your
love story with Blake.

Thomas, Blake's father.

He caught me
stealing his wallet.

Wait. What?

Instead of calling
the authorities,

he handed me the money
and said I had two choices.

Either I could enjoy it
as long as it lasted,

or I could choose
to turn my life around

and accept his job offer.

That job was here,
at the manor.

I learned to be useful.

And earned more money
than I could have taken

from Mr. Carrington that day.

So you do want
me to vacuum?

No, but, seriously, why are
you telling me all this?

So that you can
find your purpose,

from one Jo to another.

(classical music playing,
lively crowd chatter)

(Cristal laughs)

We're late.

They're about to
announce the winners.

I'm gonna go check
in with the PR team.

You're already a winner
in my book, darling.

Are you sure
about that?

Lady trouble?

Must be tough--

wife and daughter
vying for the same title?

How do you split
your allegiance?

Either way,
a Carrington's on the cover.

Look, I wanted

to apologize for my behavior
at the foundation gala.

It's beneath both of us.

You want to make amends?

Stop taking things
that belong to me.

I don't think
you'll be needing those.

I like to be prepared.

Oh, let me guess,
you were a Girl Scout?

You won't be getting
the merit badge today.

Best of luck
to you, Fallon.

Oh, I don't believe in luck;
I believe in opportunity.

And this is one I had no
intention of letting slip by.

Good afternoon, everyone.
I'm Diana Davis,

editor-in-chief
of Atlanta Digest.

Thank you all
for being here today.

It's an honor to bring you our
annual Women in Business issue,

honoring so many
remarkable women.

Please join me in congratulating

all of them on their outstanding
achievements in business.

(applause)

However,

at the end of the day,

only one woman can be
Woman of the Year.

And this year,

that honor goes
to someone who has

redefined herself
in business,

a true up-and-comer:

Fallon Carrington.

(applause and cheering)

Yeah!

FALLON:
Oh, wow.

It came true. (laughs)

Well, first, I'd like

to congratulate all of the women
being honored here today.

Honestly, I wish we could all
be on the cover together.

I mean that.

Thank you for
this amazing award.

You know, I had to sacrifice
a lot to get where I am.

Nothing was ever
handed to me.

I worked my way
from the ground up.

I made things happen.

I didn't just stumble
into a COO job.

I created opportunities

for myself.

You have to be a visionary

if you want to succeed
in business.

That's why I've recently
started my own company,

Morell Green Energy Corp,

which I am building
from the ground up on my own.

So...

a heartfelt thank you
to Diana Davis,

to Atlanta Digest,

and thank you all.

(applause)

Your accolades are
coming, my dear.

Just be patient.

Thank you, Diana.

I suppose Fallon
is a worthy winner.

Perhaps.

She's quite the little
bitch, isn't she?

Beautiful, Fallon.

Smile with your eyes.

(gasps)

Carrington, I am
so proud of you.

Pepper, I can't
believe you made it.

Of course. Anything
for you, Fal-pal.

Besides, I had a good feeling
about your chances.

Oh, I'm sure I have no idea
what you're talking about.

(both laugh)

Honestly, I'm just glad
the award didn't go

to that cyber slut
stepmother of yours.

I'd hate to see my name
associated with hers.

Well, now you know how
I feel on a daily basis.

PS: You and the
rest of the world

only say half of that tape.

If you saw the whole thing
you'd know

that "cyber slut"
was underselling it.

Sounds like we just landed
on our next movie night.

(laughing):
You're on.
Bye.

It was you.

You leaked the
tape to the press.

What are you
talking about?

As usual, you're
making zero sense.

The only way you could have
seen the entire video

was if you had the video.

That tape wasn't leaked
to the press,

it was poured right
into their hands

by my darling stepdaughter.

Well, I did you a favor.
Now people will think

you failed as COO
because of the tape,

not because you're
useless at your job.

You're a miserable,
pathetic little girl.

Oh, sour grapes from the woman
who didn't get the cover.

Not at all. In fact,
let me be the first

to toast Fallon Carrington
on her big achievement.

Oh.

Congratulations.

You know, this isn't some
cheap off-the-rack thing

like Cristal wears. She
basically assaulted me.

You should press charges.

The woman has
hidden rage issues.

Yeah, attempt to do
bodily harm by drowning in Dom.

Might be tough to find a jury
of sympathetic peers.

Okay, what's going on? You were
quiet the whole ride back.

Oh, so you noticed I was there.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I thought we

were building this together.

It's not gonna be just one
person, Fallon, it's a company.

A company. Got it.

No. See, the way I work,

I build ideas with
the people around me.

That's what I thought
we were gonna do

at Morell Corp,
work as a team.

Well, we are, that's
why I went out

and got us that
magazine cover,

to help with our
expansion plan.

Are you forgetting I'm the one
who submitted your name

for consideration
in the first place?

No one does
anything alone.

We have a company together.

Company actually means
"more than one."

Maybe I need to rethink
if Morell Corp

is the type of company
I want to be a part of.

I want to thank you all for
coming on such short notice.

I've gone ov...

(clears throat)

I've gone over the financials
of every department,

and as Carrington Atlantic's

new COO, I feel like it's time
we made some changes.

Someone here has
been cost efficient,

accomplished growth,
and promoted brand awareness.

And it's time that person
was recognized and rewarded.

Congratulations, Kylie.

I'm promoting you to head of PR

effective immediately.

I may be new
to the COO position,

full of energy and spirit,

but I know a qualified
candidate when I meet one.

Thank you.

It's a big company.
People talk.

And women will never break
through the glass ceiling

if they're always looking

for a shard to stab
each other in the back.

Now, if you'll all please turn
to page 18,

we need to go over
the Q3 forecast.

Why promote Kylie?

Thought you hated her, you talk
about it all the time.

Because I refuse to work with
backstabbers like Deirdre.

At least Kyle front stabbed me.

Is that a thing?
I don't think that's a thing.

Whatever Kylie did, she did it
honestly, to my face.

Deirdre went to you, my boss,

and talked smack
about me behind my back.

You heard about
our conversation.

And the worst part is,
you believed her.

I didn't think...
You started
doubting me, Blake

and I need you to
double down on me.

Yes, ma'am.

Now, get your ass
out of my chair.

Yes, ma'am.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

People already think
I got this job

because I was sleeping
with the boss.

That is not happening
here anymore.

Fine.

But you're still gonna
sleep with the boss, right?

You didn't get this position
because you're my wife, Cristal,

you got it because
you earned it.

I know.
And for the record,

I never doubted you.

I doubted myself.

I would never
admit this to Fallon,

but my father handed me
the CEO position,

and part of me
never thought I deserved it.

That it was
just sort of time.

How can you still feel that
way after all these years

of running a
successful company?

You haven't met my father.

I live in a very
large, cold shadow.

If it were me,

I would have done the exact
same thing in that boardroom.

No. I would have
fired Deirdre.

Smiling to your face and
lying behind your back.

You can't trust
a person like that.

What's wrong?

I did that...

to Claudia, I lied to
her face about Matthew.

I went with you to her house
on that condolence call.

I looked her in the
eye and I told her

her husband loved her, after
he'd been intimate with me.

What kind of a
person does that?

Cristal, it's done.

You need to
forgive yourself.

I'm not sure it's
my forgiveness I need.

Ted. Hi.

I don't want to bother you.

Steven, now isn't a good time.

Look, I just came here because I
always talk about forgiveness,

but then, when you came
to me apologizing for...

MAN:
Is that room service?

Did they remember
the chocolate cake?

Crap.

(chuckles)

So, now you're staining dresses

as well as
the family reputation.

Your ability to multitask
is unparalleled.

Well, I don't know
what your wife told you,

but we both know it's Cristal,

not me, who's responsible

for the real dirty deeds, Daddy.

Excuse me?
I may have leaked

the sex tape,
but I didn't star in one.

It was you?

You leaked the tape?

Cristal didn't mention...

Mention
that her own stepdaughter

was behind something so cruel?
No, she didn't.

And I'm guessing that she
was trying to protect you

from the inevitable fallout
with me.

Daddy, I...

I don't want to hear it.

I have been patient with you
through your endless attacks

on Carrington Atlantic,
but that was business.

Now you have made this personal.

Well, if you would
just let me explain...

She may be a joke to you,

but to me, Cristal is my wife
whom I love.

Well, I just wanted to show you
how wrong you were,

that she's not right
for the company or you.

Your concern is very touching.

But did you not think about
how this would hurt me, too?

No, of course you didn't.

For a newly crowned visionary,
you are terribly shortsighted.

I've always known that you were
tough and determined,

but now I see
that you are heartless, too.

Just like your mother.

And I won't stand for it.
Not anymore.

I want you out of this house.

(door closes)

Come out of the woodwork
like a rat

whenever you smell food.

Have at it.

Don't go.

Steven, I can explain.

Let me guess.
It wasn't what it looked like?

I didn't go there for that.

It was for a job.

Not that kind of job.

When Ted was here,

I overheard him say
that he was looking

to hire people
for his charity thing.

And I was thinking

that it wouldn't hurt me
to have a little purpose

in my life.

Something you might respect.

So you filled out
the application in bed.

Very respectable, Sam.
I screwed up.

Okay?

That's what I do.

I don't know what

my purpose is, and I don't know
where to find it.

And I can't say no

when things are offered
to me because...

because I don't know
when it's going to stop.

But I know it will.

That explains a lot.

Doesn't explain this.

But it does.

Ted offered me a job
and to spend the night.

And I was afraid

if I said no, then I would lose

the one thing I had done right.

Look, Steven, I swear
I wasn't trying to hurt you.

The sad thing is I wasn't
even thinking of you at all.

I'm sorry
I called you myopic before.

I don't even know
what that means.

I was saying...

you only care about yourself.

And maybe that's because
no one's ever cared about you.

I know that hurt people

hurt people,

and I don't want
to hurt you anymore.

I don't want
to see you every day

around this house
and be filled with hate.

So you're kicking me out.

No.

I'm forgiving you.

Thank you, Anders.

How'd it go?

You were right about Ted Dinard.

His resolve is no stronger
than it was three years ago.

A nudge to Sam
in the right direction,

and our problem practically
resolved itself.

Hmm. Clever capture.

Your father taught me well.

He always has been able
to see multiple moves ahead.

I thought I had inherited
that skill set.

But lately...

At least with Fallon...

You'll right the ship, sir.
You always do.

Maybe.

But my next move's gonna
have to wait till tomorrow.

Has Cristal already gone to bed?

Bed?

No, no.

She's paying Mrs. Blaisdel
a visit.

I thought you knew.
She went to Claudia's?

Yes.
Alone?

Damn it. Why'd she go?

I'll have Culhane
bring the car around.

No time. I'll drive myself.

Can we talk?

I don't have
anything else to say.

But I do.

I shouldn't have used you
that night at the club.

It was wrong, and I'm sorry.

I care about you a lot,

and I really want
to make it right.

In fact, I've been thinking...

...and maybe I'm ready to call
you my boyfriend, after all.

No.

I've heard your apologies
before, Fallon.

They mean nothing.

But... but I do mean it.

I-I'm ready to take the next
step in whatever this is.

You're not even sorry
for what you've done.

You're just sorry
you got caught.

That's not true.
As a matter of fact,

the only reason
you're even here tonight

is because you don't have
any place to sleep.

Your father called and asked

if I would assist you
with your luggage

if you needed help.

But we both know
you can help yourself.

What are you doing here?

Claudia,
can I please speak with you?

I don't want to hear
anything that you have to say.

I know I don't deserve it,
but please,

can I just have
a minute of your time?

I'm begging you.

What I did was wrong.

Not just my relationship
with Matthew,

but continuing the lie
after he died.

You hosted his wake.

You told me you cared

and that you didn't want me
to worry about anything.

The whole time you were making
a fool out of me,

everyone knew but me.

I know that I have hurt
a lot of people.

Not just you, but my husband

and Matthew, as well.

And that is something that
I will always have to live with.

Poor Cristal.

I hope you suffer
the way that I have.
Look, I know

that I'm the last person that
you want to speak to right now.

I just couldn't live
without telling you

how sorry I am.

And I wanted to say it

to your face because...

you deserve that respect.

It's a little late for respect,

don't you think?

And you want me
to forgive you now? Is that it?
No.

I don't expect...
But you show up here

trying to make nice,

trying to rid yourself
of your own guilt.

But guess what? I am
not gonna help you out

from under that rock.
I was just trying
to do the right thing.

I didn't mean

to make you upset.

I'll go now.

Thank you for hearing me out.

My husband is dead.

You don't get
to feel better

about yourself now,
Cristal Carrington.

You are gonna pay for the pain
that you caused!

(screams)
