Previously on Dynasty...

The Moldavian oil was tainted

causing an explosion in the refinery.

Blake lost half a billion dollars.

And this is just the beginning.

What do we do now?

I can't do this anymore. We're not happy.

We barely know who we are anymore.

-They pulled the plug on the show.

Fine. We'll do bigger things now.

I'm getting married.

I think it's best that we don't go out

or see each other.

Adam's dangerous.

He has a history of hurting people.

You don't like that I'm dating Adam,

and you're using lies to break us up.

So what are you going to be doing up north?

-Some fly-fishing? -More like hunting.

Feel free to skip the wedding, Laura.

I'm sure Liam can find someone just as cold

and unfeeling to walk him down the aisle.

Cristal?

What is this?

It's the cake topper.

Is there a problem?

Yes, Melinda.

There is a problem.

The cake topper was supposed to be gold,

not crystal.

I don't see any gold.

-Do you? -Uh, maybe I'll come back.

No, don't move.

Or I can stay.

Everyone else, move!

I mean, we requested the 24-carat package.

Do you think Sven is trying to sabotage our wedding?

Of course not.

I also don't know who Sven is.

Hey, hey, look.

It's just a cake topper.

"Just a cake topper" isn't good enough.

This wedding is our chance to break the cycle of craziness.

-I just want drama-free. -And so do I.

And we will have that, no matter which cake topper we use.

No, no, no, no!

Well, that's great.

Now you've been decapitated.

I promise you that nothing, not even...

...my head getting chopped off,

will stop us from our fresh start.

♪ Come on, baby, let's ride

♪ Hey, step down, baby

♪ Just hop inside...

Okay, Gillian, that's enough in here.

Something by the pool now.

Ah, this photo shoot was a fabulous idea.

If you do say so yourself.

We are about to dethrone Atlanta's mad king.

People need to see us for the power couple that we are.

Alexis, I told you

I want to take it slow -on that front, okay? -I know.

But now that Carrington Atlantic is essentially worthless,

we are just one move from crushing Blake for good.

Well, when you put it that way.

-Mm. -I'm gonna get changed into my poolside look.

You actually told Anders about the fire?

-What were you thinking? -Don't get your scrubs in a bunch.

He asked about the accident, but I kept

my mouth shut, which means he's guessing.

But he's not letting go of it because I'm dating Kirby.

Well, there's an easy solution to that.

Stop schtupping his evil spawn.

He's like this starving dog

looking for a bone, and he just wants to sink

his teeth into me, if not for the fire,

-then for something else. -If he is, in fact,

digging for more bones, then you better get that old dog

off the scent and make sure he doesn't find any.

Ms. Devereaux, your guest has arrived.

Barbara.

My business partner in crime.

Looking fantastic as always.

Dominique. A pleasure.

I wanted to check in, since we begin production

on Doma-sleek in a few days.

I'm glad you called.

We need to discuss House of Deveraux'scancellation.

Oh, that?

That's good news.

Please, sit.

Now we can rebrand as a fashion-focused company,

using my name to expand

the sleepwear line into an empire.

I agreed to fund your line because I was promised

free advertising and placement via the show.

Since that's no longer happening,

neither is my investment.

It's just too much risk for minimal reward.

What if I can relieve some of that up-front risk?

I can probably scrape together 25%.

Twenty-five.

Double that, and I'll consider it.

With production starting in three days?

How do you expect me

to come up with that much cash that quickly?

You're a Carrington-Colby, right?

I'm sure you'll find a way.

I just convinced

Eric Fischer with Skadden Savings and Loan

to hear my short-term loan proposal.

And if he approves, we can buy enough oil to cover

what we lost in the refinery explosion

-and save our asses. -What's our timeline?

48 hours to secure the loan and replenish our supply

or we default on all our current contracts

and completely bankrupt Carrington Atlantic.

-Oh, so no pressure then. -Problem is, Eric can only meet at 1:00.

I'm already meeting Cristal at La Mirage at noon.

She's finally giving me a chance to apologize.

So I'm having Eric meet me at the hotel.

I cannot reschedule Cristal for business.

Can't Anders meet with Eric until you're free?

He's out of town.

He went to the refinery explosion site.

He's been incommunicado since.

That's unusual for Anders.

Listen, the point is,

I need to get this loan to save CA,

reconcile with Cristal to save my marriage...

...and ask you for one small favor.

So I think that does it.

Yeah.

You know, uh, I'm really glad we were able to do this in person.

Me, too. I can't believe you were planning

a visit to Atlanta anyway.

It's like our annulment was meant to be.

Well, you know, now seemed like a good time as any

to check out Western Atlanta law school.

I do wish that we had

time for one last drink, but, uh,

my flight leaves in two hours.

Well ...ah.

...it was fun while it lasted.

Yeah.

I guess this is goodbye.

Here's looking at you, kid.

Did you just quote Casablanca?

Yeah, I'm sorry, uh,

sometimes I hide behind movie lines

when I'm nervous.

"Play it again, Sam."

Take care, Ryan.

Yeah.

♪ Here comes the mother of the bride ♪

♪ All dressed in

♪ Red.

Or is this more of a crimson?

Well, maybe--

Oh, my word.

Is this Liam's head?

Dial it down, Gloria Swanson.

It was a small accident.

And I heard your florist backed out.

I told you not to berate her.

I gave her some constructive criticism about carnations.

Okay, who's ready for a wedding rehearsal?

Fallon, have you finished collecting your "somethings"?

You know, "borrowed, blue, old, new"?

No, because I have something more important to do.

Like finding Blake so we can leave for the church.

I'll get him. -The florist, the decapitation?

Make total sense now. Omens.

You can't ignore tradition,

at least not in this family.

Great Aunt Maude dismissed the custom

and broke her hip on her wedding day.

Is that what you want?

Maude was 98 when she got married.

It would've been a little weird if she didn't break her hip.

Fine. Ignore the lore at your own peril.

But don't get upset when it rains

on your wedding day.

Well, my wedding is indoors,

so... it can't happen.

Hi.

Fallon, hi. So, small setback.

A pipe burst here at the church.

It's completely flooded,

and it won't be fixed in time for the wedding.

Don't say a word.

Hey, so the church is officially a wash.

Okay, poor choice there, but Melinda confirmed that it is

possible to move everything here to the manor.

Yeah, that's why I suggested it.

Okay, I'm not sure why you're mad at me.

You're the one that said nothing's gonna stop us.

You and your cliché Jefferson Starship lyrics.

I think you're overreacting a little,

and not just to the lyrics.

Am I, really?

The cake topper, the florist,

the literal rain on our indoor wedding day,

and now Monica is stuck across the world until next week.

It's something about construction delays

on her new school for girls.

I mean, children can be so selfish.

What are you doing?

I am looking for my "somethings."

Okay? And the way things are trending,

I am gonna end up like Aunt Maude.

I mean, do you want me limping down the aisle?

Look, I know this seems silly,

but if following some outdated tradition will help things

go smoothly, then I'm gonna do it.

Plus, I found the perfect "something new," okay?

I read online that "something new" should symbolize

the couple's journey together,

so I thought, "What better way to ride into our new lives

than in a self-driving car?"

I mean, I don't believe in any of this superstitious stuff,

but I won't say no to that bad boy.

One down, three to go.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

Yeah, no problem.

I'm just happy to see you.

You ordered for us?

Um...

I know that your clinic schedule

is tight at the hospital, and I wanted you to be able

to eat during your break.

Well, to be honest, I'm not really hungry.

Yeah, I haven't had much of an appetite these days, either.

I know that I prioritized work over you too many times.

I'm sorry.

Can we fix this?

We'll always have busy, demanding lives,

but I deserve a husband who will show up when I need him.

Oh, you deserve that and so much more.

What are you doing?

Leveling with you.

I love you, Cristal Carrington.

I'm a mess without you.

Please come home.

I'm a mess, too.

But it's gonna take a lot more than a salad

and an apology to make things right.

Well, I could fly in some lobster.

It's Adam.

He's at the clinic, um...

Some issue with the new contractor.

Oh.

I need to go.

I apologize, but I imagine you understand.

Well, I was hoping that we could have more time to talk,

but, um...

Can we continue this conversation

at Fallon's rehearsal dinner?

Yeah. I'll see you there.

Excuse me. I need this, uh,

cleared up before my next guest arrives.

Which will be any second now. Thank you.

Don't look so bored.

If you want this Atlantix event to be a success,

it's the details that count, okay?

Now, for the seated dinner, which shade do you prefer?

They look exactly the same.

Straight people are exhausting.

I like Snow Leopard.

Brushed linen always reminds me of

-church robes. -Church robes.

What are you doing here?

Well, my flight got canceled.

Maybe the universe wanted us to have that drink after all.

Do you think the universe could help me navigate

these napkins first?

Uh, you know what, he's right.

I'm sorry. I'm totally swamped for the rest of the day.

Okay. Well, my flight doesn't leave until Saturday morning.

You can't be busy all the time.

You're right.

Uh, lunch tomorrow?

Perfect.

Actually, there's a-a great waffle place

next to where I'm staying.

Okay, first of all, adorable.

Second, you're staying here now.

I know the owner.

I'll go get my stuff.

Cool.

What?

I thought you were getting this thing annulled.

I did.

We're just having lunch, not getting remarried.

Okay.

Just be careful. You barely know this guy.

Well, from what I gathered during our marriage,

he's really sweet, and he has great taste in movies

and in men, obviously.

I just think it's a little weird

that he happens to visit Atlanta to finalize your annulment.

His flight gets canceled,

then he manages to get a free room and a date

with a baller businessman.

You think I'm a baller?

That's not the point.

We're just going on a date,

and then he's leaving, okay?

Nothing to worry about.

Mm-hmm.

I have a business proposal for you.

My sleepwear collection begins production in three days.

I just need a little help seeing it through--

an investment.

Even if I wanted to, which I don't,

my money's tied up right now.

How about I leave my proposal with you

just in case it gets untied?

Wouldn't want you to miss out on the next big thing, Brother.

Haven't you milked the Carrington cow enough already?

That cow is

as much mine to milk as it is yours.

If not more.

-Meaning what? -Meaning...

we had the same father,

and you were given all of the privileges of being a Carrington

that I wasn't.

Years of them.

Even when I came here with my mom as a little girl,

I wasn't allowed to play with you and your toys.

Oh, is this about lost playtime? No.

It's about, if things were just a little different,

maybe I would've grown up here,

and you would have been the bastard child.

Instead, you're just a bastard.

Don't push it, Dom.

I agreed to let you live here for a year,

but I've been known to change my mind at a moment's notice.

Since my "something new" wasn't sentimental,

I think this might make up for it.

What's all this?

Well...

since your mom won't be with us for the wedding--

thank you again for uninviting her--

I figured you might want your dad there,

in spirit.

And I know your relationship with him is complicated now,

you know, after the whole

"he got your high school girlfriend pregnant" revelation,

but I also remember how much he meant to you.

Yeah, they match my dad's old pocket square.

-Mm-hmm. -How did you...?

I stole the photo of him wearing it from your apartment.

And I had one made for you

and for your groomsmen.

-Fallon, it's perfect. -Yeah?

Thank you.

Here.

So, your "new" and "blue" is secured.

Yes, yes.

And I have the perfect idea for my "something old."

So now all I need is the "something borrowed,"

which has to be from a relative's happy marriage

so that their good luck rubs off on us.

-So, who are you gonna ask? -That's the issue.

I can't think of anyone from either of our families

who are happily married, but, you know,

luckily, we still have time.

Well, now I'm starting to wonder.

What?

Father Lynch had an allergic reaction to kiwi.

What kind of a reaction?

Like a blotchy skin type of reaction

or more of a closed throat deal?

Because I could probably work -with blotchy skin. -Fallon.

The man's in the hospital.

Okay, we're just gonna have to find a new officiant.

Fine, because I probably couldn't

handle blotchy skin, anyway.

So if Mr. Anders has already left the refinery,

where is he now?

What do you mean you don't know? You flew him there, right?

So, did he just get in a car and leave, or...?

Yeah, well, I don't appreciate your tone!

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Uh...

well, the tailor seems to have misplaced my wedding suit.

Ugh, that's so annoying,

and it's probably 'cause my dad isn't here

organizing everything.

Yeah.

Uh, where is he?

I don't know and I don't care.

He's been blowing up my phone all day with messages.

I stopped looking when they got into the double digits.

Ugh.

That's him again! He's insane!

Why is he acting so crazy?

I bet it's male menopause.

You know, I heard a podcast about it.

It's a real thing.

Well, I didn't actually listen to all the podcast.

I listened to, like, half of it.

Technically, it was about a murder in Manitoba,

but I bet you would find it really interesting, though.

You know, you should really listen to it.

-It's really interesting. -Hey.

Hey, um,

I need to make a private call.

Um, could we do this later?

Right now? Right now.

Aw. Come on, please.

-Oh, there you go. -Okay.

Thanks.

Hey.

How soon can you get someone to Billings, Montana?

Uh, hello, Eric. It's, um, Blake Carrington.

I was hoping for an update.

Give me a call.

Uh, quick question.

Has anyone in our family ever had a happy marriage?

Well, not what I was expecting, but, uh...

My "something borrowed" needs to be

from a happy, lasting relationship.

Well, I think your great-grandfather

and his third wife were pretty solid--

well, until he met his fourth wife, I guess.

This is worse than I thought.

Is this that important to you?

I just...

I really want things to work out with Liam,

so I can't take any chances, as crazy as that sounds.

Hold on.

You know, when two people are soul mates,

like you and Liam,

they do whatever it takes to make it work.

This is from my wedding with Cristal when I was in prison.

I saved it as a reminder

that we can weather anything together.

And now you can borrow it, for lasting good luck.

Didn't Cristal just move out?

Well, marriage isn't always picture-perfect.

You'll find that out pretty quickly.

Well, I'm glad we could make this happen.

I love it when fate works in our favor.

Fate and a canceled flight. Mm.

Did the airline even give you an explanation for that?

I mean, the skies yesterday were as clear as

Gwyneth's skin after a sage facial.

Uh...

Well, uh, technically, it actually wasn't canceled.

I was bumped out of my seat, um...

It's what you get for trying to save money

-and fly standby. -Wait, they bumped you,

and they didn't even put you on the next flight?

Weird, right?

I-I had this whole dramatic speech prepared,

but by the time I got to the front

of the customer service line, I just-- I couldn't do it.

My mom worked a ton of customer service gigs back in Ohio

to support the two of us.

And I'm talking about my mom.

Smooth, Ryan.

Not smooth.

But pretty sweet.

You know, most of my childhood was just me and my mom, too.

So...

I don't know who I'd be without her.

Turns out a Venezuelan and a Midwesterner

can have more in common than an appreciation

for classy linens.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

No, no, no, it's my fault.

Uh, you know what, I didn't even love that drink anyway, so...

You see?

Fate.

There's the blushing bride.

I've been looking all over for you.

By lurking in the shadows of a room no one ever goes into?

I know, when planning a wedding, the bride so often overlooks

what she's wearing when the dress comes off.

-Mm-hmm. -So I'm gifting you sleepwear

from my exclusive collection.

Aw.

Maybe just stick -to the registry. -Oh, I promise.

One night in Doma-sleek, and you'll understand.

And as another wedding present, I'm giving you the chance

to get in on the ground floor as an investor.

Oh, thank you, but Fallon Unlimited

isn't exactly in the pajama game.

Sleepwear.

And I was thinking

this would be less a business matter

and more of a family thing.

Well, that's exactly why I can't help.

I need to focus on my family.

You mean "our family."

That pricey heirloom belonged to my Aunt Lilly.

No, that's just my "something old."

I was talking about Liam

and our rehearsal dinner,

which actually starts in a few hours,

so good luck with your nighties.

Is Jeff going to be there tonight?

Well, unless things suddenly became normal,

he's still my mother's plus one.

Look, this isn't about loyalty, Blake.

Carrington Atlantic simply doesn't have

the necessary collateral to cover a loan this size.

As a 48-hour bridge loan,

you'll have your money back before the ink is dry.

I need to cover these contracts, or else my company's done.

Which is why, as an old friend,

I came up with an alternative option.

See, Carrington Atlantic may not have enough collateral,

but Blake Carrington does.

You want me to stake my personal assets?

If your plan is as airtight as you say,

it doesn't matter where the collateral's coming from.

Right? Oh, boy.

Yeah, I appreciate the offer, Eric,

but I think that I will explore all my options.

Well, look it over, but don't think too long,

or you'll miss your window to fulfill those contracts.

-You're welcome. -Uh...

For what?

A horse with an ass full of diamonds?

That is your "something borrowed."

It is a Dala horse.

It's a Swedish symbol for good luck.

Jeff bought it for me on our wedding day.

Uh, that's lovely, thank you,

but I need to borrow something

from a couple's happy marriage,

not a duplicitous sham.

Plus, Blake gave me his boutonniere

from his wedding with Cristal.

The only happy marriage Blake has is with Scotch.

And yes, my marriage to Jeff

started off as strategic,

but it's grown into something more... intimate.

No. I do-- I don't want to know.

I only want what's best for you and Liam.

Is that so wrong?

When you married my dad,

did you believe you were gonna be

-together forever? -Of course.

We were just like any other newlyweds.

But sometimes things don't work out.

Oh. That's comforting to know.

But sometimes they do.

I think I have found my version of a true partner,

and you are about to marry yours.

So, yes, sometimes the universe does get it right.

And this, more than some

dead flower from Blake's incarceration,

will help push it over the finish line.

Shelly Duncan?

Yes?

I'm an old friend of the Harrison family.

I believe that you worked as her caregiver some years ago.

-I can't really talk about that. -No, no, I understand that.

But, look, I just have a couple of questions

about her unfortunate overdose.

The police report was unhelpful.

I wasn't there when she died.

Her son Mike-- well, I guess he goes by Adam now--

he sent me home early that day.

And I really don't want any trouble.

Oh, neither do I.

Look, the truth is,

I'm not really a friend of the Harrisons,

but I do know Adam,

and I'm afraid he might be dangerous.

I suspect you may share my concern.

Ms. Duncan, please.

I wouldn't be here if it wasn't an emergency.

He's dating my daughter.

Come inside.

Thanks.

-Good news. Melinda found a new officiant,

and he just confirmed for tomorrow.

Oh, thank the folklore gods.

I told her to have him stop by tonight,

get to know us before he binds us together for eternity.

Well, you don't have to say it like it's a prison sentence.

Ooh. Is this our "something new"?

Yes. Yes.

Sam wouldn't let me drive the actual car into the lobby.

Liability. Total buzzkill.

Oh, speaking of kill, Alexis is going to kill me

when she finds out I chose Blake's boutonniere

over her bedazzled horse.

Yeah, well, I'm sure she'll be good after a glass

or three of rosé. Mm.

You ready?

Beyond ready.

Let's get this party started.

Hey, I just need to go find Blake

and talk to him -for a minute. -Okay.

I'll come find you.

Please.

I can't get through this night on my own.

Aw, you two are so cute.

I don't want to hear it.

I was just gonna say it's nice to see you happy.

Even if it is with Adam.

Funny. But thank you.

I wish everyone else felt the same way.

My father's convinced Adam is pure evil.

I'm sure your dad is just looking out for you.

By punishing Adam in the present

for things that might or might not have happened in the past?

It's not fair.

I should know. I've been dealing with

this exact thing my whole life.

I guess I hadn't thought about it like that.

Despite my reputation, you never called me crazy,

and I appreciated that.

You gave me a real chance

and saw me for who I was.

And look where

talking to one ex about her new boyfriend,

while my other ex is hosting her rehearsal dinner

across the room.

Yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't sleep with

anyone else in the manor for a while. That could help.

But, seriously, thanks for being one of the good ones

and giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, yes, I usually do bank with Skadden,

but now I'm calling you.

It'd be 18 hours.

Fine.

-What's wrong? -Wrong? Nothing's wrong.

I'm excited to have a night with just family.

No business, like we discussed.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Is that boutonniere really from our wedding?

Yes, it is.

Now it's Fallon's "something borrowed," for good luck.

Oh, I can't believe it survived prison.

I can't believe I survived prison.

But I did-- we did.

That's why I wanted her to have it.

Our love is like that boutonniere.

It'll survive anything.

It certainly feels like we've been to hell and back.

But we're back, right?

Hey. Looks like we could both use a refresh.

The extra case of bubbly is on its way.

Everything else in order?

Yeah. And we just got the extra ice.

Okay. So, for the next few hours,

I'm Sam-the-guest, not Sam-the-boss.

All questions go to Britt.

So, how was lunch?

It went really well.

I think he might just be a normal guy

with incredible abs, stripping his way to law school.

I'm sorry I said anything.

Look, I know you were just worried for me.

And the situation started looking

less like Pretty Woman and more like Parasite.

I even put a call into the airline

before lunch to check his story.

But Ryan and I are gonna sneak in breakfast tomorrow,

and, uh, we'll go from there.

Well, I'm happy for you.

Seriously, Dominique?

Hi, sweetheart.

I'd tell you I called multiple times,

but I'm pretty sure you know that already.

Why are you ignoring me?

Because if you call more than once,

it's usually for a handout.

I was calling to check on your health.

-Mm. -That's what mothers do.

Though now that you mention it,

I do have a great business opportunity for you.

I have other priorities.

I deserve to be a priority, too.

Oh, I think you've got that covered.

Even as a mother, you always put yourself first,

and that will never change.

You are the only family you've ever needed.

Is the microphone really necessary? Yes.

We need to make sure that

our good luck toast is heard loud and clear.

-Just stick to the plan. Okay. All right.

-Whoa. You got it.

All right. Hey there.

Uh, thank you all for coming tonight

to, uh, help us celebrate.

Yes, thank you.

And sure,

everything's been a little crazy lately,

but we wanted to thank you for reminding us

that true love has many phases.

Yes. So here is to a new,

drama-free yet blissful chapter.

Oh, dear.

Sorry I'm late.

Did I miss the first course?

What the hell are you doing here?

I banned you from the wedding.

You see, most people would realize

that includes -the rehearsal dinner. -I know,

and I'm very sorry about ruining your picture,

but that wasn't really

your best look.

Honey, I just needed to talk to you.

Yeah, no, Mom, see, you lost that privilege

after lying about my half-brother,

almost getting us killed in Moldavia,

and trying to sabotage my relationship with Fallon.

God ...ltiple times.

Liam, you're just pointing out every little flaw.

Look, if you refuse to leave on your own,

I'll just get someone -to help you go. -No.

Liam...

I hate to say it...

And yet I'm still pretty sure

you're gonna say whatever "it" is.

Perhaps you want to rethink this "something borrowed."

I'm sure somebody could get the horse sculpture from the manor

before this entire hotel collapses on everyone.

Well, actually, your horse is here.

Yeah. It's in Sam's office.

I brought it as a backup, just in case.

At least you did one thing right.

Oh, my God.

Fallon, wait.

I come in peace.

Great. Can you leave in peace?

I've been thinking a lot about my behavior lately.

And I realize now that,

in trying to keep my son close, I just pushed him away

and I just hurt the girl that he loves.

You're just reversing the plot of The Notebook.

Well, maybe you won't forgive me.

But I don't want to miss my son's special day

just because I didn't try to make things right.

It's time to go, Mother.

Okay.

Hey. Hey. Just...

Don't kill me,

but I think you should hear your mother out.

Are you serious? Yes.

If brokering peace

could help avoid stirring up future drama,

then, yeah, I think it's worth a shot.

Plus, I-I think she might,

you know, be sincere this time.

Although I've been wrong before.

Okay.

Whoa, whoa.

Where you running off to?

Oh, just trying to escape all of the drama.

Tonight was supposed to be about family getting along, not...

What is that?

Why is your bag ringing?

I can explain.

You don't get what you need

from me, so you just take the first thing you can find?

That clock belongs to me as much as it belongs to Fallon.

I don't care about the stupid clock.

I just want to know what you could possibly be thinking.

What was your plan here? Sell the clock online

for hundreds of thousands of dollars

and just hope no one noticed?

There wasn't a plan.

But after getting knocked down one too many times,

Dominique fights back.

That clock alone

covers what I need to keep my life afloat.

They don't deserve it.

No, they don't.

But this is not the way to save your company.

Though I will help you save your dignity.

Return the clock.

Did you find him?

I located and tailed your target.

After visiting Dr. Holtzman at Saint Mary's hospital,

he visited the home -of Shelly Duncan. -The nurse?

Yes. And she must have had something interesting to say.

Anders was there for almost two hours.

Is there anything else you need from me?

No-no, that's-that's fine. Thank you.

My, you certainly have an eye for detail.

Uh, detail, yes.

Good luck charms, not so much.

Hopefully, this one works.

I'm sorry, what are you doing here?

Honestly? I don't really know anymore.

Um, whatever you said must have worked,

because your runaway groom has returned.

Hmm. Apparently, all it takes is a little self-restraint

and a tacky "something borrowed"

to restore balance.

Yeah, everyone does seem super chill.

And we're still on schedule.

Oh, yes, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Okay, bridal party speeches now. Just stick to the script, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Liam.

-Uh, what's he doing here? -Who?

Him. -Oh, that's our new officiant.

Well, if you want to keep things chill and balanced,

I'd rethink that choice.

-Why? -Because I'm pretty sure that's the priest

Cristal's been sleeping with.

Is that true?

What are you doing here?

Hmm. I didn't know you'd be here.

Um, isn't this the Van Kirk wedding?

Yes. Yes, it is.

Hey, that's the guy that was at our house.

Can we discuss this somewhere else?

What, you want to humiliate me in public

but apologize in private?

I'm not apologizing.

You slept with a priest!

What is it gonna take to get an "I'm sorry"?

What about you?

Sleeping with Laura Van Kirk?

Oh, come on. Oh, gross.

Sounds vaguely familiar.

Oh, vaguely familiar?

It's like a train crash

that keeps going

into the ocean until it hits an iceberg

and then another train.

I slept with my husband.

And then the Titanic.

No one cares, Alexis!

Hey, don't speak to my wife like that.

You slept with Liam's mother.

Are you that desperate?

It was just sex. Get over it.

Okay, everybody, please.

If we just calm down,

I'm sure we can talk through this.

Yeah, I'm done talking.

No, no, no, no.

Enough!

Everyone,

enjoy the party, without me.

Because I'm going home.

-Fallon. -No.

You slept with a priest?!

You slept with your daughter's mother-in-law.

It was a one-time mistake and it meant nothing.

-Can you say the same thing? -You stepped out of our marriage

and then lied about it.

Isn't that exactly what you did?

Go ahead, answer it.

Forget Laura Van Kirk. That's your real mistress calling.

Carrington Atlantic.

We both made mistakes.

You need to take some responsibility.

I know what I did was wrong!

But I never meant to hurt you.

I also thought

I married a man who would choose to save his marriage

before his company.

I'm sorry I took you for granted.

But I promise you that we are my number one priority now.

How am I supposed to believe you?

Same way that I was supposed to believe you.

We both need to do the hard work

and commit to rebuilding our trust in one another.

Come home.

I want to find our way back.

But it's gonna take more than just living together

to make things right.

We both just need time to process.

And then, after Fallon's wedding, we can...

we can figure out how to move forward.

Okay.

So you're saying the airline

didn't bump my client from the flight?

He canceled it himself.

Okay, uh, but he's still booked

on the one tomorrow morning, right?

What?

Are you sure?

There you are.

You missed quite the show at dinner.

Where you going?

What's happening here?

Hello?

Talk to me.

You want me to talk to you?

What if I said that I did push Alexis into the fire?

What if I said that I was responsible

for my mother's death in Montana?

And what if your father knows all about this

and he's trying to make me pay?

So that fire story's true?

And what do you mean you were responsible

for your other mother's death?

I made her O.D.

And I can blame it on my abusive childhood

or her addiction, but...

doesn't change what I did.

I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you

to think of me as a monster.

I don't think you're a monster.

You're not the only one with secrets in their past.

Thought you lost your key.

I did, but I know how you love a good gnome hide-a-key, Mom.

How long has it been? A year?

Since I found out Thomas Carrington was my father?

I think so.

I was talking about your last visit,

but if you're here to give me sass, you can just...

I'm here to apologize.

I know I hurt you.

Just like I hurt my kids.

I guess it takes losing your family before you realize

what they mean to you.

Although, after finding out about Thomas,

I'm not sure who that family is or who I am.

Do you think you're the only one

dealing with our complicated history?

I loved Thomas.

But I had to protect you from the Carrington backlash.

So I walked away.

I never thought about how painful this was for you.

I'm sorry.

You're my mom.

I don't want to lose you.

I'd like to start over, if possible.

This opens a safe deposit box.

Thomas's lawyer gave it to me after he died to give to you.

I tried, but you never returned my calls.

What is it?

No idea.

Maybe it'll help you heal.

But let me be clear.

Doesn't matter what prize is in that box.

It's up to you to mend your relationship

with me and your children.

I just sent the final signed contract,

putting up my personal assets as collateral.

I'll process everything now.

Thank you, Eric.

-I appreciate it. -Anytime, Blake.

Wow. I never thought he'd actually do it.

Mm, but when it comes to logic versus ego,

Blake's ego will always win out.

Well, Blake's ego just leveraged all his personal assets.

And Eric's logic just sold us the loan.

And I always thought -banking was boring. -Hmm.

Hey.

Sorry tonight was such a fail.

I know I probably overreacted.

I think that was a perfectly reasonable reaction.

Things went sideways. That's life.

Life is messy sometimes.

Yeah, but it seems like it's always messy for me.

I mean, I couldn't even borrow good luck.

Come on.

Fallon, we both know

that folklore stuff isn't real.

We can still have the perfect wedding.

Yeah, but it was never about having the perfect wedding.

It was about having the perfect life.

And the closer we get to the wedding,

the more I'm nervous that I'm incapable of having

a healthy relationship.

Okay, well, I've been doing some thinking, too.

And after that dinner, I'm convinced now, more than ever,

that nothing can stop us from a happy life.

Were we at the same dinner?

Tonight, like every other crazy moment we had,

it just... just proves how strong we are.

And in case we ever need a reminder...

Hmm.

The Holden, Wolf and Stone Lounge,

Tiny Trouble Bar.

Wait, are these...?

Napkins from every date we've been on.

-Wait, you kept all these? -Of course I did.

We don't need to borrow something from

a lucky couple in love because we are that lucky couple.

And we are prepared to clean up any of life's messes.

Literally.

So, you still want to marry me tomorrow?

Not only do I want to marry you,

but I want to be with you every day after that.

And I promise you that no one and nothing

will ever tear us apart.

I'm sorry I couldn't fix the water damage for that wedding.

Although I heard their officiant was hospitalized anyway.

Luckily it all worked out.

What do you mean?

The family moved the ceremony to their estate,

and, you know, anyone can be an officiant these days.

The wedding is on.

Oh, great.

Glad it worked out.

I'm sure nothing else will go wrong.
