Previously onDynasty...Mommy's home.

I don't want to cause
any trouble.

What's family without trouble?

FALLON:
Adam needs to know
that if he messes

with fire, he's
going to get torched.

Stay out of my office.

And you, stay away from
my relationship with Father.

[all gasp]

How'd you sway the vote?

You get Senator Braden
to push the bill through?

I've spoken to the FBI.
They know that I'm Mike Jones.

I wouldn't be shocked
if they came to see you.

FBI. Nobody moves.
Blake Carrington,

you're under arrest
for blackmail and coercion.

[door opens]

BLAKE:
I cannot believe

that Culhane is
trying to set me up.

My sources tell me
the FBI has been in touch

with Michael Culhane
and Jeff Colby.

Oh. Course it's
the two of them.

Well, they're gonna pay
for this, I promise you.

Let's hold off on the threats
till we clear the building.

But if Michael Culhane
and Jeff Colby are in a position

to pass along anything damning,
I need to know.

Yeah, well,
I need a stiff drink.JENNINGS: Mi amor,

it's bad outside.Cristal.

Oh, I told you not to come.

Right. Like that
would stop me.

But I'm glad that you did.

Let's go home.
We're gonna sort all this out.

Jeff and Culhane called

an emergency
Atlantix owners' meeting

with the league. Today.

This is all a play for the team.
They're trying

to get me out of the way
for some hostile takeover.

Well, not if I have anything
to say about it.

Wait, we can go out the back.

Carringtons
don't go out the back.

Let them see me.

[reporters clamoring]

Mr. Carrington!
You spent the night in custody.

What is your reaction
to the charges against you?

[clamoring continues]

FEMALE REPORTER:
Mr. Carrington!

MALE REPORTER:
Ms. Flores!

Mr. Carrington, are you
worried how this is
gonna affect the team?

[footsteps approaching]

[news playing indistinctly]

Don't you have an office?

Well, things have been
a little crazy lately,

what with my brother
slapping me in public,

my mother going off

to get another
facial reassignment surgery

and my dad
getting arrested, so yeah.

I say I deserve to skip traffic.

Welcome home.Mm.

JC Remington is writing
a new adventure series,

and she is looking
for a publisher.

From what I hear,
it is perfect for Femperial.

It's basically The Hunger Games
meets #MeToo meets AOC.

And what does that mean?Well, it means

movie rights, TV series,
music tie-ins, merchandise.

But this deal could finally be

the start of my new dynasty.

I thought Femperial was.

Femperial is a cute, regional
boutique publishing house.

What I'm thinking of is
an international media empire

on par with Carrington Atlantic.

But I want my father standing
in my shadow, and JC Remington

is our way to get there. I
mean, I worked hard enough

getting this pitch together,
so we need to make sure

that she knows Femperial

is the perfect home
for her new book.

Now I get why you
called me back.

JC Remington is meeting
with people today

in person.

Three-minute windows.
You go over, you're out.

So this pitch has to be smart.
It has to be visual.

Like mock-up posters
for the inevitable

blockbuster movies.
I got it.
Yes.

How quickly can you
have these laminated?Yesterday.

No time to chat. Building an
international media empire.Welcome back.

Well, I want to build an
international media empire.

Do you, by any chance, know
JC Remington's favorite color?

I'm sure she likes green.

Oh, well, trust me,
I am backing up the truck.

But everybody has money.
I need edge.

Whoa, that's a big truck.

Hey.

Don't be jealous.

I compensate you in other ways.

Speaking of,

I think you're still due
for your final payment.

I take Venmo.

No, I was thinking
of something else.

Mmm.Tonight?

I'll clear my schedule.

I can't. Go.

[reporters clamoring
over laptop]

[news playing indistinctly]

Blake Carrington after a night
in federal custody?

[Jeff chuckles]

Oh, this is definitely
my new favorite show.

Oh, Mommy, it's all happening.

DOMINIQUE:
Haven't seen this man

since he had your father
thrown in prison.

It's a lot to process.
Don't want to get

my hopes up just to see
him walk scot-free.

Oh, don't worry.

His freedom's not
the only thing he's gonna lose

by the time I'm done.

Can we have a hand here?
These guys are so squirmy.

What's all this?
Are you making a coat?Anders,

they can hear you.
Don't listen to him.

And no, they're not for me.
They're for the staff.

I bought out the shelter,

so there's enough to go around
for everyone.

Why?

My settlement from
Steven just arrived,

and it's way more
than I expected.

Like, way, waymore.

So I've decided to use
my windfall for good.

I'm like Oprah. Oh, hi.

Can you please give
them water? Filtered.

Have you considered
that not everybody might want

a puppy? They're a lot of work.

Not that you'd know.Of course I have.

Any leftovers will be adopted
into happy, loving homes.

Hmm.The staff just gets dibs.

Though I might not be
able to part with you.

[chuckles]

JENNINGS:
We need to talk about this.

I need Fallon here. Now.

Blake Alexander Carrington.

You really want to
put this on Papá?

I am fighting
for my life here, Cristal.

He flew here

two weeks ago
to make peace with you,

and this is how you repay him?

By saying he forced you
into blackmailing a senator?

I don't think you comprehend
the gravity of the situation!

Ai, no, mi amor.I
understand just fine.

Should I come back, or...?No. I need your help.

Okay. I think
you should let her simmer down

and then, you know,
work yourself up

to a champagne, roses,
jet to an island apology.

Or did they give you
an ankle bracelet? Can I see it?

Don't worry about Cristal.

This is about the Atlantix.

Jeff and Culhane are making
a play for control of the team.

What? How?They're gonna say

that I can't run it like this
given the nature of the charges.

The FBI has seized my computers
and frozen my assets.Oh.

So you need money. It's
funny, I always imagined

your rock bottom to be a bit
messier and more drug-fueled.[sighs]

It's bigger than that.
I need a surrogate.

Someone who's not mixed up
in any of this.

Someone to step in on my behalf,
take control of my shares

and reassure everyone
that it's business as usual

until this thing is cleared up.

And there's a meeting today.

No, no, no, no, no.
You lost me there.

Ihave a meeting-- a huge one--

for my business, remember?

This isn't just business,
Fallon. This is family.

I would go to Cristal,
but she's not blood,
and it's beginning to show.

And your brother...Who just got fired for
slapping me in public?

That's why I need you.
You know how to run

a business. You understand
the Carrington way.

I'm not a creepy psycho.You're the only one I can trust.

[breathes deeply] Fine.

Okay. I will go to your meeting.

I will plead your case.
But do not expect me

to wine and dine anyone.

I am on a very tight schedule.Thank you.

Your brother could
take a lesson from you.

[scoffs] No kidding.Which is why

I want you to take him along
with you today.

What? No.

No way. Did you not hear
the crazy psycho part?

I'll be on my
best behavior.

This is the exact kind of thing
I'm talking about.

He just needs to learn,
and who better

to teach him than his sister?

We need to stick together.Don't worry, sis.

I won't bite.

And I'm very much
looking forward

to working underneath you.

Dad.

♪

Did you double-check
the numbers?
Twice.

So that's four checks.Okay. And you sent me
the address?

It's already in the GPS.
But you have to go

all the way downtown. You're
cutting it kind of close.

Oh, I can cover here.Haven't you already done enough

to embarrass this family?
I mean,

you can't even get past security
without me.

Maybe I should go to JC. I
mean, I can take this with me,

and just in case you're running
late, I can do the pitch.

I know all the talking points.Look,

I appreciate the offer,

but we are a dark horse.

I can't just send in my, uh...

Director of millennial content?I thought it was "consultant."

Can't be in two places
at once, Fallon.

I'm just trying to help.

Okay, well, you can start
by not gawking at the traitor

who sold my father out.
And you,

you keep your
hands to yourself

and keep your mouth shut
during this meeting.

Okay? I need to get in,

get out and get downtown.

You won't even know I'm here.

Back up.Okay.

Mr. Commissioner.

Wish you would have given me
more of a heads-up,

but what's the play?Just let me do the talking.

Should we get started?FALLON: Well,

if it isn't Rizzoli and Isles.

Did the FBI give you badges
and guns or what?

You're not an
owner of the team.And weren't you fired?

FALLON: I am here on behalf
of my father, Blake Carrington,

to represent his interests
in the business of the Atlantix,

of which he is
the majority owner.

And I am here to...To silently observe.

Did you really think
you could just slide in

and steal this team
from behind Blake's back?

Nobody's stealing anything.

Michael and I have
ownership stakes

and a legitimate concern about
Blake's fitness to run this team

while facing federal charges.

He's innocent
until proven guilty.

Which he will be.
And in the meantime,

his assets have been
frozen by the FBI.

How does he, uh, expect to
cover operating expenses

or payroll?FALLON:
My father

will sign over
his ownership stake to me.

I will cover all debts
and expenses myself.

I have some assets, too,
if you remember.[Jeff chuckles]

And day-to-day operations?

You're not familiar
with the team.I am.

[scoffs]You are a PR liability.

Is this about the office?You mean the office

you stole
while I was hospitalized?

So Blake give you a better
one. You're welcome.

What did we just talk about?COMMISSIONER: Yeah,

what arewe talking about?JEFF: A better plan,

which would mean me covering
the team's financial obligations

and Michael assuming
responsibility

for all operations management,

effective immediately.What?

What?We just want what's
best for the team.

Continuity,
stability and ethics.

Ethics? Wow.

I did not know that word was
in your vocabulary.

Commissioner,

at the end of the day,
this team is a business,

and I know how
to run a business.

A hostile takeover is not in the
best interest of the Atlantix,

and playing judge, jury

and executioner of my father

is not in the best interest
of the league.

I'll consider both
of your arguments.

FALLON:
Thank you.

I'm confident
you'll make the right choice.

As am I.Shut it.

You want me to run the team?

Unless, of course, I mean,
you're not ready for it.Mm-mm.

Born ready.

That's what I thought.

[sighs]

So, what does
your father have to do

for you to stop covering
for him? Murder someone?

Why? You gonna set him up
for that, too?

No one set him up, Fallon.

He just finally got caught.

And you didn't even wait
for the dust to settle

before you two tried to steal
his team out from under him.

Do you really think that you
have the moral high ground here?

I know I do.[elevator bell chimes]

Fallon, wait!

You forgot something.Well, what? What is it?

I'm late.[gasps]

[gasps] Oh!

[chuckling]GEORGE: Oh!

I am so sorry.What the hell is
the matter with you?!

It was an accident!
I was just trying to help!Oh, my God!

Look what you did
to my presentation!

Here.

It's ruined!
What is this?

"Directions for setting up
your Atlantix voice mail"?

No, no, it's, um...This is what you
thought I forgot?

Oh, I must have misread.

Well, you probably should get
to know this, right?

Like hell you misread.

You did this on purpose.

You were trying
to make me late!

What? Why-why would I do that?

Here, let me...
let me help you clean up.

No! Stay away from me,
Flowers in the Attic.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Where you going?
The elevator's right here.

I will take the stairs.

Don't.

ANDERS:
Is this really necessary?

Just open it.

Got a veritable army of lawyers
out there wanting to be fed,

security to take care of,

and seven wiggly puppies
that I need to curb.

I think you've earned
a ten-minute vacation.

I already had a vacation.
With you, remember?

That was barely an afternoon.And Blake got arrested.

That was bound to
happen, eventually.

Remember how pumped you were
to go sailing in the Maldives?

"Pumped" might be
a little extreme.

You were
wearing shorts.

Ah.

Now you can go sailing
whenever you want,

because you have your own boat.

[chuckles]

I wanted to park it
out on the lake,

but, um, it wasn't
deep enough.

This is very kind,
but I don't need a boat.

No one needs a boat, Anders.

But I want you to have it.

And I want you
to have some savings.

Literally,
I'd like you to consider

opening a savings account.

If you're not working,
your money will be.

Savings accounts
don't spark joy.

I don't have time for joy.
I've got a household to run.

Right now, in fact.

Savings account.

I needed to talk to someone.Hard to believe

I was your first choice.

If this is about Blake...

You might have been right.

I didn't want

to believe you.

But Blake is trying
to pin this on my dad.How?

He's on tape with the senator.He's going to say

Papá made him do it.

I've been calling Papá,
but he's not picking up.

I don't know what to do.

This is a conversation
that you should be having

with the FBI. Excuse me.

Michael, I still love him.

He knows that.

And he'll take you
right down with him.

Maybe I made my bed,
and now I have to lie in it.

My family,

they've done a lot of things,
but not this.

It's not too late.

Take it from me.

I've been right where you are,

caught between Jeff,
the FBI and Blake.

So I did what I had to do.
I looked out for me.

You should, too.

Special Agent Tarkoff.

Atlanta field office.

[keys jangle, door opens]

Freshly pressed, sir.

And I've asked them
to bring the car around.

And the lawyers?

ANDERS: Ah, they're already
at the Federal Building, sir.

Great.
Where have you been?

I was getting some air.
What's going on?

We're meeting with
the U.S. attorney in an hour.

We're trying to convince him
that Culhane's cowboy wire

won't fly in court.

Are you ready?Are you still bringing
Papá into this?

Your father is in this,
whether you like it or not.

Do you really want
to see me go to jail?

Of course not.

Leaving in ten.

[door closes]

[knocking]

Ms. Colby. You're...

More stunning than ever? Mm.

I'm flattered, Anders.

But I'd like to see my brother.

Now.

We saw Hamiltonin the second
row. And the food. Oh, my God.

Mm.We went to this amazing Italian
place so deep in Brooklyn

it was practically Queens.
And have you ever had babka?

Mm-hmm.There's this place
on the Lower East Side

that does the best
in the country.

I mean, obviously.Why would you

ever come back to Atlanta?Fallon asked me to.

I thought she needed
special help with this huge bid,

but she's mostly had me
cutting and pasting,

like a glorified intern.

[chuckles]
I mean,
no offense to the interns.

But I'm just hanging around.

Going to
power lunches.

Yeah, and trying
to avoid Culhane.

[exhales]
What happened?

Three weeks in New York?

We basically
didn't speak,

aside from a few texts
that were just,

"Hope you're well."

The worst.

But I thought Fallon said
she was okay with it.

That was, uh, before he tried
to put her dad in prison.

Mm.I thought she was gonna punch
him this morning.

But how did he look?So hot.

The abs are...
aspirational.

Yeah.Well, I'm sure

he's glad you're back.
And so am I.

For... different reasons.

I missed you, too.I need you to talk to your dad.

What did you do now?I bought him a boat.

What? Why?Because he deserves it.

All he does is work.
We were gone

for half a day, and he's
been running around the manor

like we were gone for weeks.

Poor guy deserves
a break.

Some people find meaning
in their work, Sam.

Mm.Which actually reminds me, um,

can we get the check?

Thank you.No, I'll get it.

No, no, no, no.
I'll get it. It's fine.

Kirby, I'm rich.

You're hourly. Gimme.Mm-mm.

I'm salary.
Even if Her Royal Highness

doesn't treat me like it.
Thank you.

Why can't anyone in your family
just accept a gift?

Mm-mm-mm.Yeah. Another round, please?

Another one.

Oh, you're back!

That was fast.
How did it go?

It didn't.
I missed the meeting,

because my idiot brother
spilled coffee all over me

because I was forced
to bring him

to stop my idiot cousin
and my idiot ex-fiancé

from taking
my dad's idiot soccer team.

Well, no, the soccer team
can't really be an idiot...

Yes, I know.
It was a rhetorical device.

Sorry.

Oh, yeah,
that sounded sincere.

I hate to be the person
to say "I told you so,"

but I told you so.
I offered to go.

And I told you it had to be me.

Why did you even ask me
to come back?

To make copies?

You have plenty of people
for that.

Yes, and they're a lot happier
about it, too.

Well, maybe you have
a point, Kirby.

Maybe you don't need to be here.Seriously?

Yeah, seriously.
I do not have time

to manage
your feelings.

I have a pitch to save
and an empire to build.

So if you want to go,
then please go.

[sighs]

[exhales]

DOMINIQUE:
I don't remember the last time

I was here.

It's nice to see what you
haven't done with the place.

Millie, Millie, Millie.
What are you doing here, Millie?

Oh, do I have to call you
Dominique?

After all these years, that's
how you greet your sister?

Half sister.I know you have
a very full plate,

and I'm sorry
to stop by unannounced.

But I wanted to make sure
you were all right.[sighs] Come on.

Drop the "concerned sister"
crap.

Cut to the chase.

I am concerned.

That, in all your drama,

our agreement
has been forgotten.

I held up

my end.

All those years
I've known of this relationship,

I never said a word.

Not to the press,
not to the kids,

not to the courts.

And for all those years,

you did happily cash
all my checks

month after month,

like clockwork.

Except the clock stopped
two months ago.

I thought you were concerned
about your brother.

Oh.

And I thought
we were raised to believe

that blood is thicker
than money.

We weren't raised together.
And you know that's not true,

on either side
of the family tree.

Um, I'm sure your interruption
is just a clerical oversight.

You said yourself,
my plate's very full.

Or you were trying
to send me a message.

But I'll take your word for it.

You can just write me a check
for all that I'm owed.

Fix the oversight.

Or what, you're gonna sue me?

I told you I'd
bankrupt you.

Or tell your children.

You lied to them,
too. For years.

Wait, worse than
lying to them,

you didn't have to,
because you abandoned them.

I'm guessing that they're not
gonna rush to pay your bills.

Keep the kids out of this.
It's between you and me.

Your children are in it.

Your son turned me in
to the Feds.

He's trying
to take my soccer team.

He's trying to take my freedom.

Jeff didn't make you break
the law.

Nobody made you run away.

So save the sanctimony,
all right?

You want your money?

Get your son off my back.

Before I tell him who the
biggest liar of us all is.

Now, excuse me.

I have to go to court.

[reporters clamoring over TV]

REPORTER: Mr. Carrington!KATHLEEN: Mr. Carrington,
you spent the night...

NEWSMAN: The arrest followed
the public altercation

between
Mr. Carrington's children[knocking]

at an Atlantix event in the...

[TV turns off]

Cristal?

Well, you don't look as
thrilled as I'd hoped.

Kirby.

I'm just surprised.

When a woman takes a work trip
and basically ghosts you,

you don't expect her to show up
at your apartment a month later.

Okay. I deserved that.

I was just worried
a relationship with you

would ruin my relationship
with Fallon.

You could've told me that.I know.

I'm sorry.
That's over now anyway.

I thought I was more of
her friend than her assistant,

and now I know
I'm not really either.

Mm, the Fallon special.Mm-hmm.

Well, take it from me--

Fallon's issues
are Fallon's issues,

not a reflection
of your worth.

Thanks for letting me barge in
and vent.

I guess I just needed
someone to talk to.

Well, I'm glad
you barged in.

Not that I want our whole
relationship to be about Fallon.

Neither do I.

[exhales]

[knocking]

Hi.

Hey.

Between the soccer stuff
and your big pitch, I...

figured you didn't
have much time to eat.

Was that, uh...Yeah.

The league commissioner
calling to approve me

as the interim CEO
for the Atlantix organization.

So you won.

I won.
My dad will be thrilled.

But you're not.Well, it's
not really my win.

It's my dad's.
But, apparently,

those are the only wins
I'm ever gonna get.What do you mean?

Fallon, you're sitting
in your own publishing house.

That will never be
a real empire,

because I am too busy
putting out my dad's fires.

And every time I think I have
gotten a breath of fresh air,

I end up choking on his smoke.

What about JC?Oh, I didn't get it.

Greenswell did.
Led by Stuart.

Michael Culhane
on line two.

Death threat?It's about
the Atlantix.

Oh. Same thing.

Want me to make him

sweat it for a
little while?

Now, that's a team player.
But, no, no, it's all right.

Better deal with it now.
Just, uh, give me a second,

then put him through.

[phone chimes, vibrates]

Uh...

Oh. And now my dad is texting me
about ditching Adam.

Great.

Well, so much
for a romantic lunch.

Look, I know what it's like to
be pulled in two directions.

Or more.

So how 'bout...

you deal with the team stuff.

Let me help with Femperial.No way.

That's not your job.

I know it's not.

But it's important to you.

And, besides,
business talk is kind of sexy.

[both chuckle]

Okay.

[exhales]

[door closes]

[reporters clamoring]

REPORTER:
There they are!

I know that you're scared.

But everything's gonna work out.
I promise.

You ready?

[clamoring continues]

Come on. Come on.

Cristal.
I can't.

You're making a scene.I can't choose between
you and my family.

Damn it, Cristal. This is not
the time. Get out of the car.

Blake, I'm sorry. I can't.Get out.

Ow! [gasps]

[reporters exclaim]

[clamoring continues]

NEWSWOMAN:
This is a criminal case, not
a pop culture flash point.

And in a world where perception
is everything,

"the slam heard round the world"
is not...

You see this?
Blake is finally

on the wrong end of
the tabloid spin cycle.

I wouldn't break out
the champagne just yet.

We lost the bid for the team

and Blake is still
in control via Fallon.

Par for the course.

I guess privilege
still has its privileges.

But it's a small battle,
not the war.

Unless the battle's Little
Big Horn and we're Custer.

You know how I got from having
your kind of money

to having my kind of money?

By not being afraid to fail.

You can't let the fear
of failure control you.

I've always seen failure
as just a bump in the road.

I'm not quitting if that's
what you're saying.

I'm willing to do
whatever it takes

to make sure that Blake
pays for everything.

Your school, Clark County,
my father...

Then eyes on the prize.

The bigger picture is that Blake
is on the defensive.

He's losing allies
left and right,

starting with his own fiancée.

This is what we set in motion.

Fallon's little win delays
the inevitable,

but nothing can prevent it.

Just gotta be patient.

they want you to,

it's this new thing
called consent.

Look, I think you've
had one too many,

and somebody probably
should have cut you off.You know what?

I'm not dealing with you;
I want to talk to the manager.

I am the manager and
this is private property.

I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave.

Fine. But only because
I'm gonna make a call.

What's your name again?

Diego.

Diego. Hang tight,
buddy, all right?

Manager.

♪

Congratulations, you're a meme.

It was an accident, damn it.Well, I hope

you didn't call me in here
to try and fix it

because we both know once the
Internet starts dragging you,

there is no coming back.

It's just insult to injury.

The good news: I saved
your little soccer team.

All but served up orange wedges
to the kiddies at halftime.Yeah, but you

shirked your responsibility
with your brother.

Are you kidding me?
I mean, I just saved your ass.

A little gratitude
would look good on you.

Thank you. But you only did
half your job.

You told me that you were gonna
take Adam under your wing.

I agreed to let him shadow me,

not breathe on my neck and stare
at me without blinking.

Honey, he's your brother.He ruined my business
and my brand-new suit.

I really wish
you would try to get along.

You know, the two of you
may be the only thing

I have left in this world
after this witch hunt is over.

Oh, don't me dramatic.
I'm sure Cristal

is just licking her wounds
with your credit card.

I want you to make nice
with your brother.

Haven't I done enough
for yourdynasty?

It's our dynasty.No, it's not.

Femperial is mine.

But do I ever get a chance
to work on it? No.

Because I'm too busy covering
for your malfeasance.

And all you care about is Adam.

Oh, perfect timing.

[sighs]Fallon was just

about to say she's sorry.No, I wasn't.

Apology accepted. I know
you're under a lot of stress.

I forgive you.

Hug it out?We don't say that anymore.

Oh, Fallon.

Fine. As long as there's
minimal bodily contact.

Okay.

Oh, come on.All right, it's a hug,

not the eighth grade
winter formal. Stop swaying.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Here you go.

This isn't like where
the boss is afraid

to give you the bad news

so they send in someone else
to fire you, is it?

Because I might have already
quit; it was a little murky.

Don't worry. I-I don't want
to know, okay?

I just wanted to...

I wanted to ask you if you
could help me help Fallon.

And why would I do that?
Fallon made it abundantly clear

she doesn't want
or need my help.

And you know
that's not true.
[scoffs]

She made a huge mistake
by letting you walk out

of Femperial.

She practically
pushed me out the door.

And she's sorry about that.

Then why am I hearing it
from you and not her?

Does she even know
you're doing this?

Sometimes Fallon doesn't know
exactly what she wants.

All right? Trust me.

And even when she does,
she's too proud to ask for it.

Right now, she's got more on
her plate than she can handle.

She needs help,
so I'm asking for her,

because if we're being
completely honest here,

you're probably the
bigger person, Kirby.

[door closing]

Wait, aren't you...?

Kirby Anders.

Fallon Carrington's director
of millennial content.

Is this about, uh, JC? Hmm?

Because I was planning
on gloating to Fallon,

not her little employee.

I'm not here to make
a case for Fallon.

She fired me as unceremoniously
as she fired you.

I'm sure mine was worse. She
actually gave me kidney stones.

But I thought she was my friend.

And you know what they say
about friends and enemies.

Keep your friends close
and your enemies closer?

Yes.
Sure. But also,

the enemy of my enemy
is my friend.

I can tell you all her secrets
if you hire me.

Let me get your start paperwork.

[knocking on door]

[footsteps retreating]

Cristal?

[sighs]

What the hell is this?

I came to return
what Blake stole from you.

$5 million.

From Ada Stone?

[laughs] Trust me, I'm grateful

but does Blake know
that you took this?

By the time he finds out,
I'll be gone.

Where are you gonna go?Mexico.

Back to my family.

Look, I don't blame you
for wanting to get out.

But if you want to finish this--

[sighs]to protect your family--

you're gonna have
to tell the FBI.

There's no other way

to make sure that none of this
comes back to haunt you.

Michael, I'm leaving him.

You want me to betray him, too?

Do you think he would extend
the same kindness to you?

That bruise on your knee
says otherwise.

[exhales]

Chuck, hey, man.

I thought we were cool.

How could you guys
let Adam take my office?

Mr. Carrington said to.

I'm really sorry.

I'm kidding.

[sighs]And the corner office
is much better.

I think I'm finally settled in.

But the look on your face

was priceless.[laughing]

Too bad Skip
wasn't here to see it.

Oh, you-you didn't hear? Skip's
been out for a couple weeks.

What's wrong?
He's sick.

Said he had trouble breathing,
and these terrible headaches.

He couldn't see straight.

Almost passed out
a couple times.

Well, did he go to the hospital?

No insurance. He's trying
to tough it out.

Well, tell him I'll pay
for whatever it costs.

All right.

When-when did all this start?

Tuesday maybe? The day
he painted your office

might've been the
last time he was in.

And he's got pretty much
the same symptoms I had.

Maybe you both caught
the same bug.

Apparently, Stuart sold her on
this whole feminist angle.

Women's empowerment, equal
pay, the whole shebang.

And JC is the highest paid
author at the company,

male or female,

I checked.
Unfortunately,
that commitment doesn't seem

to apply to the little people.

There seems to be
a huge disparity

between the men and women

working the same jobs throughout
the rest of the company.

When women even get hired.Exactly.

Unlike Femperial,
although, admittedly,

I haven't exactly been
the boss of the year, either.

Oh, no, I know.

Um, but let's just say
someone helped translate.

You should really
keep him around.I told you I'd help.

But corporate espionage isn't
normally in your lane.

We go the extra mile

for the people we really
care about, right?

Hey, Kirby.

My mother was wrong about you
being a troublemaker.

And so was I.

I think you have
a lot to offer

as director
of millennial content.

And, you know, as a person, too.

I'm just gonna let that

sink in for a minute,
because it's probably

as close to an apology
as I'm ever gonna get.

And you're probably right.

And you... well,
I will thank you tonight.

Ew.

Marlon, right?

You know,
the first thing you learn

when you become a billionaire

is that everything
and everyone has a price.

So I made a few calls
and made them an offer

they couldn't refuse,

and now this is my
private property.

I'm gonna have to
ask you to leave.

Now.

Diego.

Hope you're in the market
for a promotion, because you

are the new manager,
effective immediately.

Are you serious?
Yep.

You know, what happened
to you yesterday

is a perfect example
of what I don't want ever

to happen at this hotel.

From here on out,
we have a new mission,

a new attitude,
and new rules.

Well, I can't wait
to hear them.

And I can't wait
to write them.

Maybe you can help me.Yeah, whatever you need.

I'm not worried
about running this place.

I dated
an assistant manager once.

And that's what
the Internet's for.

But if we want
a proper rebrand,

we need to take big swings.

We don't accept pets, which
a lot of people complain about,

so maybe let dogs in?Why stop there? We can have

pet adoptions in the lobby.

Maybe other charity events.

What about a... "Woke Lounge"

to highlight humanitarian causes
around the globe?

So you could be
politically active

and party at the same time.There you go.

Speaking of which,
complimentary appetizers

for the homeless on Fridays.

Give back a little.What the hell,
complimentary drinks, too.

You're thinking generously,
and I like it.

I was following
your lead, boss.
Your standing up

for me yesterday
was a really big deal,

and I really appreciate it.
Where I come from,

people on the bottom
just keep getting...

stepped on.

Well...

I appreciate being appreciated.

It's an interesting color
you chose for my office.

It's real cutting edge.

Yeah. Right?

I mean,
it's no Imperial Gold,

but I guess that's
the difference between

someone who's just trying to be
a team player, and somebody

who's just trying to steal
the spotlight for himself.[laughs]

Oh, speaking of paint,
did you hear about the guy

who, uh, painted in here?What do you mean?

Apparently, he's been in the
hospital ever since he finished.

A lot of the same
symptoms as I had.That's awful.

I'm just saying, you might
want to check on

whoever painted yours.

You think the paint
makes you sick?

You're the doctor.

Anyhow, you just might want
to check on that.

I mean, I'd hate for the same
thing to happen to you, too.

Oh, thanks.

Mm-hmm.

Mrs. Carrington.
Can I help you?

It's Ms. Flores, and I'm here
to talk about

Blake Carrington.

[beeps]

Hmm.

I brought dessert.
Ice cream.

Are we celebrating something?I made up with Fallon.

Okay.

Well, that's good,
for you.

And I'm gonna keep working
at Femperial.

Which means that
we're celebrating the fact

that I can still afford
to buy ice cream.

So, does this making up
with Fallon mean

there's no moving
forward for us?
No.

It means that I'm free to do
whatever I want.

All Fallon asked is that I'm
honest and up front with her.

So you told her.Well, not yet.

There's nothing to tell
if we're not back together.

Which is why I'm here,
to see if we were.

We can be.

If that's a conversation that
you want to have with Fallon.

I think it's a conversation
worth having.

I think that ice cream's
gonna melt.

That's okay, I ate most of if
on the way over.

[indistinct chatter]

Good to meet you, too.

Please make sure
to come see us again.

Okay?WOMAN: We will.
Thank you so much.

What on earth are you doing?

Just wrapping up happy hour,
but if you're here to say

you've reconsidered the boat,
I can go get the keys.

That won't be necessary. I'm
here, to see with my own eyes.

When I heard
you'd bought a hotel,

I thought even you
couldn't be that careless.

Careless?

I'm all about caring.

I actually bought this hotel
to help someone,

and now we're gonna be able
to help a lot of people.

Sam, just because you can
afford to buy a jet

doesn't mean you have
any business

leaping behind the controls
at 40,000 feet.

That's what pilots
and parachutes are for.

I'm not joking, Sam.

You don't know the first thing
about hospitality,

serving people,
running a business.

You came down here
just to insult me?

I'm trying to
snap you out of it.

Ever since you got the money,
you've been on a rampage.

A rampage of love.

All I'm trying to do is
share it with other people.

And I understand
that's not the Carrington way,

but I'm not a Carrington
anymore.

There it is.
You came here with your aunt,

then you had Steven, and now
you're trying to figure out

how you fit in without them,
trying to prove yourself.

I don't need your
psychoanalysis.

Just because you've never
had money before

doesn't mean you should
rush around

giving it away as fast
as possible.

Or throwing it away,
as the case may be.

And how do you know?

The Carringtons are
your whole life.

And I'm sorry I want to
do something more with mine

than just being a butler.

Speaking of which, I'm sure
you can find your own way out.

[whistling]

[humming]

[George whistling]

What the hell are you
doing in here?

I was just returning
Fallon's clothes

that I had dry-cleaned.

Why are you here
when she's not?

I'm surprising her.

How quaint.

All right, well,
let me know how it goes.

Hey, maybe you fool Blake
and some of the others,

but for the record,
I don't trust you.

You're not part of this family.
I don't care about your trust.

Well, you should, because
as long as I'm in the picture,

I'm gonna be keeping
an eye on you.

And if you come after Fallon,
I'm coming after you.

What makes you so sure you're
gonna stay in the picture?

You watch all you want.
I'm not afraid.

But maybe you should be?

[sniffing]

Nice.

And you're sure about this?

As sure as I can be
without Adam walking up

and saying, "Hey, Jeff, I
poisoned you with toxic paint."

The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.

They're all snakes, that family.

Wait, you think Blake knew?

I don't care if he did or not,
he's still responsible.

That's his blood
doing it to my blood.

It's not right,
and he'll pay.
Okay.

Are you sure
you want to get involved?

Jeff, I missed some
key years in your life,

and for that I'm sorry.

But Mother's back now,

and I'm going to do
whatever it takes

to protect my children
from all enemies.

Right now, Adam Carrington's
on the top of that list.

And the bonus is,
he's the shiny new object

Blake seems to be enamored with.

So we take Adam down, and we put
Blake in jail, where he belongs.

Sometimes you got to
cut out the rot

to let the new
growth flourish.

Are you sure you're in?

Try keeping me out.

Once JC found out

that the average salary

was 37% less than the men's,

she decided to reopen
the bidding.

And when she saw that Femperial
actually walked the walk...

Backwards and in heels.

It didn't even take me
three minutes to convince her.

It turns out I'm very hard
to say no to.

You don't have to

So, how'd it go with the FBI?

The agent bought
the whole thing.

[both laugh]

Mm. How's your knee?

They're saying I hurt
you on the news.I'm not as delicate as I look.

Are you sure this is
the right thing, with Culhane?

Well, someone had to
go down for this.

Culhane was our best play.

Connecting him to Ada,
and making me look like I was

just another unfortunate victim
of their criminal empire.

Making the FBI think he's been
lying to them the whole time.

It's catnip.

And the e-mail?

Adam got into
the Atlantix server?

Without a hitch.

What about Fallon?

When she finds out you
kept her in the dark,

brought Adam in...

She'll be furious,
but she'll get over it.

Her history with Culhane
was too much of a liability.

Same with Anders.

We couldn't risk anyone
tipping him off.

I hope it works.

I just want to make sure
you never set foot in prison.

You and me both.

Thank you for
doing this for me.

For us.
