Previously on Dynasty...
and send it into space.
Eva. Since Fallon can't make it,
there's an empty seat next to me at our table.
FALLON: Colin McNaughton? We went to Wharton together.
You may think you won this battle, but this is war.
She's barely got a pulse. Call 911.
And I am running to be the next U.S. senator
from the great state of Georgia.
Amanda is not your cousin, she is your sister.
We have a secret sister?
Fallon. Mm-hmm.
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Everything's great.
Just keep up the good work.
Right there?
All right, you seem distracted.
And typically, you're a bit more vocal in this arena.
Well, I just told you that you were doing
a great job, didn't I?
This about your sister showing up?
Half sister. And from the Morell side.
So you know that gene pool is tainted, but no.
No, I decided that she's not gonna be a problem.
Why are you...
Really?!
Look, I'm a very skilled multitasker, okay?
I'm a task now?
No, no, of course not.
It's just I've been tracking irregular stock activity
from Fallon Unlimited since the opening bell, okay?
Something is off.
Well, that's one thing we agree on.
(phone chimes)
Oh, the board is calling an emergency meeting. I have to go.
Or you stay for breakfast in bed,
and we rekindle our spark.
The candles aren't even dripping wax yet.
I know I haven't been the most amazing wife recently,
and I'm sorry, but they don't call emergency board meetings
just for the bagels.
Right. Work. Again.
How about we do something
amazing and romantic tomorrow night?
Just the two of us.
Would be cool to do something outdoorsy.
Terrible cell service.
I could plan it.
I mean, I'm a little bummed that that was your first choice,
but sure, we'll make it work.
Mwah!
Ah!
I swear your bag wasn't this heavy
before you left for rehab.
Was retail therapy part of your recovery?
My life was spiraling, not my fashion sense.
Um, where is everyone?
I mean, I wasn't expecting the staff to be lined up
Downton Abbey style, but still...
Well, that's because I didn't want you
to feel uncomfortable, so I told everyone
to just act like it was a normal day.
Well, they're doing a great job. (chuckles)
Mm.
You should probably get going, too.
You must be slammed at work.
As the former La Mirage event manager...
Coordinator. But why split hairs?
I know weekends are insanely busy.
Don't worry about me.
I've already planned for this. Javier's handling everything.
It's just a small wedding for 300,
and a convention full of comic book nerds; no biggie.
Kirby. You're back.
Yep.
Here I am. (clears throat)
I'm-I'm doing really good.
I'm glad. Um...
best of luck.
I-I gotta run.
Okay, well, I'll see you.
Well, you guys seem good.
I guess I should have expected that.
He didn't reply to a single one of my emails
I sent him from rehab.
These things take time.
I know.
I have a long list of people I need to make amends to.
I don't know how I'm gonna do it.
With me by your side, that's how. Okay?
I told you I'm here for you. It'll be easy.
You'll see.
Fallon! Kirby. Welcome home.
Thanks. Look, I just want to say
I'm sorry for everything that happened.
Yeah. Got it. You're forgiven.
Check me off the list. See you at dinner. Bye.
Easy. See?
Well, it seems that, uh, momentum is back on my side.
Campaign contributions are on the rise.
And it'll stay that way,
as long as there's not another insane press conference
like the last one.
Sorry to interrupt.
Amanda. Right on cue.
Your staff told me that I might find Adam here.
I'm afraid you just missed him.
Oh. Bad timing.
I seem to have a habit of that lately.
Well, I wanted to apologize.
The press conference ended up being
a little bit of a circus.
It wasn't your fault, but that's very kind of you.
Actually, I'm-I'm glad that you're here.
Really?
Well, when you're running for office,
and your ex-wife declares
that she's had a secret love child
while you were married,
it tends to be fodder for the press.
Well, I'm from England. We love scandal.
I mean, haven't you seen The Crown?
But this secret's already out, so...
No, you misunderstand me.
I'm talking about moving forward.
So if you have any skeletons in your closet,
we need to start unpacking them now.
I don't need to do anything.
See, our lives, they barely intersect.
I was raised in an upstanding family in Kensington,
I graduated from Oxford,
and now I work for one of the most prestigious
law firms in London.
So if me getting to know my birth mother
derails your campaign,
well, it sounds like your campaign might need some help.
But as you said,
maybe I misunderstood.
Tell Adam I stopped by.
Or don't.
Hold on, hold on.
I'm sorry.
You seem like a very bright and confident young woman.
A benefit of not being raised by Alexis.
Amanda, would you join me for breakfast?
I could use some tips on putting Blake in his place.
(chuckles)
If you don't mind
how bright it is in here.
(sneezes)
Bless you.
Whoever's buying up large quantities of our stock
has been doing it through shell companies,
hoping to go undetected.
We need to consider this a hostile takeover possibility.
Okay, thank you, Quinton.
But what can we do about it?
Americano, a shot of espresso.
I thought it was that kind of morning.
Oh, clear my schedule
for a date night with Liam tomorrow.
Copy that.
And hold all my calls until we find the bastard
who's buying all my stock.
No need to hold any calls.
He's here. Colin?
Mystery solved.
Though "bastard" seems
a little old-fashioned for you.
Talk to me, Anders.
COLIN: Well, my dear,
I did warn you I'd be back
after you stole my land.
Oh, and back you are, like a bad rash.
I assume you're here to unveil
whatever ill-conceived plan you have for my company.
More to get a few measurements for my decorator.
My sense of style doesn't lean quite so drab.
No, you're never taking this office from me.
It's not really up to you.
See, while you were busy launching
your frivolous shopping network,
I was gobbling up your stock.
And once I accrue another five percent,
I'll have the controlling interest.
Once you accrue another five percent?
You should know better than to gloat
before a deal is done.
Don't you worry, I've already secured
a deal with a hedge fund for it.
This is merely a courtesy visit
before announcing it at
the board of directors meeting tomorrow.
Oh.
The look on your face is even better than I'd hoped.
Okay, we're done here.
Does that mean you're going to throw in the towel?
The only towel I will be throwing
is the one onto the sand on vacation
as I celebrate victory.
Game on, Oliver Twisted.
♪ ♪
Hey, thanks for coming.
So what's this big PR plan you have
for launching the new club?
I was thinking we'd have this place host a podcast...
How will that help? Four listeners drop in
for a glass of sparkling water? (chuckles)
You didn't let me finish.
Guess who's willing to do his podcast from the club?
You know, I always wonder why people do this.
You obviously want to tell me,
and the odds of me guessing are...
Okay, you are taking all the fun out of this.
I got Andre to do his podcast here.
On With Andre Andre?
Boom. That's exactly who I was picturing.
I knew I should have guessed.
I convinced him to do one interview here,
and if it goes well, he might be willing
to do a whole series when the new club opens.
This is great. He has a huge built-in audience.
Cool people with a lot of money.
That's exactly the buzz we need for a successful launch.
Yeah. That's why I thought of it.
We just need to find him a great first interview.
Right. Someone bold and interesting.
Is Lizzo available? Or should I call...
No. Andre's been wanting to do a series
on successful Black businessmen in Atlanta.
Okay, well, there's no denying you're successful, but you...
I wasn't talking about me.
But I know just the person to ask.
Do you want me to guess again?
'Cause this time I'll totally get it.
Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
Liam.
Hi. What a nice surprise.
Aren't you sweet bringing your wife coffee at work.
One double shot macchiato, extra foam, right?
Wait, is this for me?
Well, I remember you mentioning craving one
at the awards ceremony,
So consider it a small thank-you for your support.
Well, it's perfect. Exactly what I needed.
Oh, and don't worry, Fallon's schedule is cleared
for your date tomorrow night.
Thank you. I actually came by
to bounce an idea off of her.
I was thinking a catered dinner
under the stars in my family's vineyard might be nice, right?
As long as your mother's not there,
count me in, I love it.
Great. I will set the details. That is for you.
I'll see you at home.
Your husband is so great.
Dinner under the stars? Romantic.
Sure is. Write yourself a Post-it
to buy me some bug spray.
So, I figured out how to counter Colin's move.
If I sell off my radio division,
I will have enough capital for a Pac-Man defense.
Or Ms. Pac-Man in this case.
I totally remember that from Wharton.
You use that cash to turn around and buy a large stake
in Colin's company.
Exactly. Colin won't have enough capital
to save his company and buy the five percent
he needs to control this one.
I'll set a quick board meeting to get approval for the sale.
No time. It's called a hostile takeover for a reason.
Something they don't teach you at Wharton:
never ask for permission
when you can ask for forgiveness later.
Blake, I would offer you a glass,
but that would imply I want you to stay.
We need to discuss Amanda.
Yes, I cheated on you.
Again, I'm sorry. Again.
Does that sound sincere? I hope not.
I don't care that you cheated on me, Alexis.
You think I wasn't dipping my pen
in different ink wells while we were married?
Charming.
Did it ever occur to you that Amanda
might actually be my daughter?
No. We weren't even sleeping in the same room at the time.
Thankfully, I had yoga to provide me comfort.
And by yoga, I mean Gabe,
the instructor, and by comfort,
I mean sex, and a lot of it.
Anders' Carrington calendar from 1996.
"September: Alexis returns from London."
Yes. I returned right after Amanda was born.
Thank you for the update from the last millennium.
Hey, well, just for fun, let's flip back,
I don't know, say 40 weeks.
"Blake and Alexis in Miami
for Warren Buffett's New Year's Eve party."
Sounds familiar. Yes.
The dinner was awful,
so I went for a liquid diet.
I barely remember anything after that.
Do you remember waking up in a hotel room
with me the next morning?
Vaguely.
It certainly doesn't mean we had sex.
It doesn't mean that we didn't.
And Amanda sneezed in the sunlight this morning.
Is that code for something?
I also sneeze at sunlight.
Clearly she's allergic to it,
just like me; it's a real thing. Okay...
We all miss Anders,
but you need to hire someone to start dusting again.
You cannot deny that she could be my daughter.
I can. She's not yours. Denied.
MICHAEL: Man, I thought I was crazy
asking for a telescope as a kid.
You have your own space company, with government backing.
I guess it is a pretty big deal, huh?
Uh, it's huge. (laughs)
Which is why I have a favor to ask.
No, you can't have a seat on the first flight.
Oh, don't worry, I'm more of
a feet-on-the-ground kind of dude.
(laughs)
You know the It's On With Andre podcast?
I convinced Andre to do an episode
at the club to help promote our opening,
but I need a local A-lister to sell him on doing more.
And since I'm looking at a local A-lister...
Look, you know I got you, right?
But ColbyCo Space is taking up all my time right now.
What about Fallon?
Andre wants to focus on Black success stories,
and there's no bigger one than you.
It's our chance to get our stories out there.
Positive role models. Change the narrative.
With your fame, success, influence...
Okay, okay, I get it.
This is quite the speech.
I just want to start the club off right.
Fine.
But I'm only doing this for you.
I can live with that.
You messed with the wrong CEO, frat boy.
Well, for the record, I've never stepped foot
into a fraternity.
Unlike you, I imagine.
Hmm.
You do look piqued. Rough day?
Far from it. In fact,
I went on a shopping spree.
You want to know what I bought?
Would it matter if I said no?
A huge chunk of stock
in McNaughton Global Media.
And now that I own a sizeable stake in your company,
you'll have to hit pause on your plans
to take over mine.
That's not the right face.
The Pac-Man defense?
Well, I'm calling it the Ms. Pac-Man defense...
I'm curious. What will your board of directors say
when you tell them you sold a major division
of your company to thwart an old rival?
Or-or crush.
Don't flatter yourself.
I can tell you exactly what they'll say,
because I had drinks with them a couple of hours ago,
and they did not seem very happy.
You baited me?
You didn't even want a hostile takeover.
You wanted my seat
as chairman of the board.
If only you were this smart 24 hours ago,
you wouldn't be in this position.
Going rogue with a public corporation?
Not great optics.
Which, as a majority shareholder, I'll point out
at the board meeting tomorrow.
Oh, I'll fight this.
But I'm certain I can get the necessary support
to install myself as the new chairman.
I think the board will agree
that perhaps it's time Fallon is
a little less unlimited.
Great. I'll tell her the good news.
Ah. Father, what are you doing here?
Is everything okay?
Well, can't a father visit his son at work?
You can, but you don't.
Okay, I need your help.
I think Amanda may be my daughter.
I'm sorry, what?
Well, Alexis denies it, of course,
but I've got a feeling about this,
and my feelings are usually right.
Even if this is true,
which I'm sure it's probably not,
are you sure you want to claim Amanda as yours?
She's bad news, like her mother.
Well, that may be so, but if she's a Carrington,
it's my duty to get her away from Alexis
before she's corrupted beyond repair.
So why do you need me?
Just ask her to take a DNA test.
Well, you remember how traumatizing it was
when you found out that we were your biological parents.
I'm still trying to forget.
I can't upend her life until I'm certain.
What can I do?
Javier, you need to contact every vendor in Atlanta
until we find enough of that 2008 vintage
for a 300-person toast.
Everything okay?
Hey. Yeah, great.
Javier's got it all under control at the hotel.
So, where are we with the apology tour?
I'm checking people off the list.
You know, Mrs. Gunnerson, Tony, the gardener.
Even Jerry, the pool guy, who I don't remember offending.
Probably because he started working here two weeks ago.
But if you're apologizing to people you don't even know,
it sounds like you're almost done. Are you kidding?
My biggest apology is still looming.
Right.
Although I think Adam's been doing double shifts
at the hospital, so maybe I should wait on that one.
Fine.
I'm just really not looking forward to it.
I know. But you can't avoid Adam's
or anyone else's apology forever.
I'll drive you, and you can
rip off that apology Band-Aid right there.
Okay? (whimpers)
FALLON: You know what the worst part is?
That you may lose the company?
Okay, the second worst part.
I am actually impressed by Colin's business savvy,
which also makes me feel gross inside.
So I'm impressed and repulsed.
I get it. Plus he's handsome.
Okay, that's not helpful. Anyway, if this thing is
gonna come down to a board vote today,
then I need to make sure I have enough board members on my side.
Which is what you were supposed to be working on.
So what did you find out?
You have Daniel, Aubrey, Leslie,
all loyal and locked in.
But Gary, Brian and Ellen are Team Colin.
Which leaves Quinn as a swing vote.
Okay, get me Quinn's calendar
and tabs on his location.
Colin is going to be gunning for him as well,
so I need to move fast.
Definitely.
Like faster than this.
Oh, right. Sorry.
And that's when you started to branch out
with ColbyCo?
Moving to a different kind of tech?
Oh, no, no, no, no. That was still years away.
This is going to be great publicity for the club.
It's going well.
on the podcast for a while now.
This dude's on the verge of becoming an icon.
If Andre agrees to make this a regular thing,
maybe we can bring in a live audience,
record it for streaming.
Yeah, we'd be into that.
I think we covered the early years of ColbyCo extensively.
I want to talk about what's happening now.
What made you transition to the space race?
Well, for me, it's all about a solid foundation.
ColbyCo has allowed me to do a whole host of things.
Space is just one of them.
Right. The one I'd love to talk about.
So I know you were just in D.C.
Who told you that?
It's not important. My listeners want to hear,
how'd that go, and what's next?
Uh, I don't think so.
What?
I don't really like talking about things
that aren't set yet.
Call me superstitious.
(chuckles)
Do I look like a dentist to you?
'Cause it's starting to feel like I'm pulling teeth here.
Are you coming with an attitude now?
Look, bro, people don't care about what's going on
behind the cubicles of ColbyCo.
I mean, no one's asking Richard Branson
how Virgin's DVD sales are doing.
Don't "bro" me, bro.
Okay, do you have any idea what it took
to get ColbyCo where it is today?
Because you've been talking about it endlessly.
I think we're done here.
'Cause I'm thinking we never started.
I've had just about enough...
Where the hell is he going?
Jeff...
What the hell was that?
The last podcast I'll be doing for this dive.
Nobody walks out on me.
I actually didn't think I'd hear from you.
Cristal said you came by yesterday.
I really appreciate you trying to make things right.
Well, I'm really sorry that I lied to you.
I was trying to win over Alexis,
and I thought I was doing the right thing, and I was wrong.
Apology accepted. Alexis has a way
of manipulating people, which she weirdly thinks is
one of her better qualities.
Wait, wait, wait. That glass is filthy.
Excuse me, could I get a clean glass for my sister?
Oh. You know, I've always wanted
an overprotective big brother.
Well, here you go. You can't get rid of me now.
And you'll never drink from a dirty glass ever again.
♪ ♪
I can't believe you would stoop this low.
Alexis, I don't know what you're referring to.
Of course you don't.
It's probably not even the most underhanded thing
you've done today.
Could you just email me the rest of the insults?
I'm in a bit of a rush.
Hey!
(glass shatters)
How clumsy of me.
Stay away from my daughter.
AMANDA: I mean, have you spent much time in London?
Well, isn't this a lovely sight.
I see you have a place in your heart to forgive Amanda.
I don't suppose there's any good will left over for me?
No.
Thanks. Yes, sir.
What the hell was that?
That dude needs to learn when to move on.
I said I didn't want to talk about it.
I've been working on this thing for weeks,
and you blew it up in two minutes.
It was one interview. You'll find someone else for him.
That one interview was my only shot
to convince Andre to sign on for more.
I needed this for the club,
but I guess why would you care about that?
I'm sorry, all right?
But I got my own stuff to deal with right now.
Right. Rockets to launch.
I see now that you've gone intergalactic,
so has your ego.
You just don't understand
what I'm up against right now.
I understand perfectly.
I guess I was just hoping that our friendship
would allow you to care about someone other than yourself
for a moment.
Clearly I was wrong.
I promise I was not trying to ruin your time with Adam.
I saw an opportunity to mend fences.
Yes, my opportunity.
My relationship with you is not the only one
that's important to me.
I needed to get Adam alone, away from Blake.
He has poisoned my son against me.
Sounds a little bit dramatic,
don't you think?
After our divorce, he left me penniless;
cut off all communication with my children.
I was living in a trailer, for God's sake.
Well, I don't know him very well, but Blake doesn't
strike me as cruel or heartless.
I'm sure there's more to the story.
And as Adam pointed out,
you are very good at manipulation.
So anyway...
There is more to the story.
Blake has a very dark side.
I hate to tell you this, but one of Blake's
former employees, Nathan Macintosh,
found that out the hard way.
He crossed Blake, and Blake killed Mac.
Tossed him in Carrington Lake.
He turned my children against me,
and he will try to do the same to you.
He's dangerous.
That is not an update, Javier.
That's exactly where we left things.
Keep trying.
(sighs heavily)
So, you already spoke to him?
Adam was with a patient,
and I didn't want to stand there and wait
while he's giving some lady terrible news.
He seems too busy.
If he found time to have sex with you in a supply closet,
he'll find the time to talk to you now.
I'm scared, okay?
Maybe we should leave.
I don't want to have this conversation
in a hospital hallway.
Girl, I've seen Gray's.
This is exactly where they work out their problems.
Isn't that blanket meant for newborns?
Maybe, but it's freezing in here.
Look, apologizing isn't easy,
but it's the only way to make things right.
Isn't that what you want?
Fine.
Go sit in the waiting room until I'm done.
Okay.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Um, Kirby, I don't think this is the time or place...
Please.
You don't have to say anything. Just listen.
Okay.
I'm listening.
I am beyond sorry
for the hurt that I caused you.
But I'm trying to own my mistakes.
I know you're angry...
and I hope one day you'll forgive me.
I'm not angry.
You're not?
No, I'm sad.
Yeah, I'm-I'm sad that this is where we've ended up.
It's not where I thought we'd be.
You were my future.
I was picking out rings for us.
You were the only person who understood me
and accepted me as I am.
And that hasn't changed.
And maybe we can still be friends.
Well, I accept your apology,
but I don't think we can be friends again.
I'm-I'm sorry, Kirby.
I'm... sorry.
Quinn?! You work out in the company gym?
I guess being a board member has its perks.
I was wondering when you'd find me.
Guess I should be happy you didn't corner me
in the executive washroom.
That was my next stop.
I'll consider myself lucky.
You, on the other hand, messed up
when you sold off the radio division.
You can't just go rogue.
I like to think of it as being aggressive.
It's what leaders do.
This company has done very well
with me running things.
Do you really want to go into business
with an uptight Brit?
I mean, did our Founding Fathers fight for nothing?
Actually, my company's even more profitable than hers.
Colin.
I didn't peg you for a gym rat.
I didn't peg you to be an exhibitionist.
News flash: women can work out
wearing whatever they want. And you can go.
Quinn has already decided that I am the better person
to lead this company into the future.
I'm not sure that's where you're leading it.
Okay,
you two clearly have some issues to work out.
For the record,
I'm still not sure who I'm supporting.
I'm starting to wish there was a third option.
Nice job. Are you happy now?
Not as happy as you.
Clearly you drove Quinn away just to be alone with me.
(chuckles)
Your obsession with me goes back to Wharton.
You're delusional.
Not only have I never been attracted to you,
but I am currently repulsed by you.
My apologies.
Guess I misread the situation.
It's rather warm in here, isn't it?
Oh!
Okay, you know what? I'm gonna go.
And look who's the exhibitionist now.
I'll see you at the board meeting.
You really think she's your daughter?
Yes. It all adds up.
I understand, but if you're wrong,
I'm worried you'll get hurt.
But I have to go through with this, I can't let it go.
Not when there could be another Carrington heir out there.
Still searching for a new one.
You know, I can't help but get this feeling
that you're disappointed in the children you already have.
I'll give you two some time alone.
Adam, you know that's not true.
Whether Amanda is a Carrington or not,
it won't change our relationship at all.
You're my son. She'll never replace you.
Thank you, Father.
And if that is true, then I may have found a way
to get you the answer you've been looking for.
Amanda's.
Took it from her purse at La Mirage,
dropped a few hair samples off at the hospital on the way home.
We should have an answer in a few hours.
Well done, son.
What kind of bribe would a sad yet rich
middle-aged man like?
I assume you mean Quinn?
Not really my social circle.
Maybe a Rolex.
I'd suggest a membership to St. Andrews golf club
in Scotland, but Quinn's assistant just told me
he now has one; gift from Colin.
I can't believe he's just blatantly bribing him.
I mean, at least I'm trying to be subtle.
You know what, Colin is good,
but there's no way he's gonna beat me.
Ladies.
Fallon, I have tonight's menu for you to look at.
And by "look at," I mean approve so we don't have another
cauliflower steak incident.
I'm sure it's great. I trust you.
Perfect. Save your enthusiasm for tonight.
We have drinks at 6:00, apps at 7:00.
Main course is set for 8:00 p.m. sharp.
Oh, just one slight issue with that.
The only time Quinn could do the board meeting
was at 6:00 tonight. I figured
you'd want to keep him happy, so I agreed.
Oh, yeah, we can't move that.
Um, Liam,
I'm so sorry, but I'm gonna be
a little late, so, uh,
you know, start drinking without me.
Or, I mean, why not move our romantic dinner to the manor?
Because the whole point was to be outside under the stars.
You know, to do something different and exciting.
FALLON: Exciting? (scoffs)
I have two hours to save my company
from the redcoats.
Now, that is exciting.
Look, I know you're up against it with Colin,
but sometimes it would be nice to see you as excited
about our marriage as you are about work.
Liam, that's not fair.
No, look, it's fine.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle.
It's just dinner, right?
I'll see you at home.
Don't feel bad.
He just doesn't get it. Obviously you have to
stay focused on work right now.
Right. Focus.
There must be some other gift you can send Quinn
to win him over.
Actually, forget Quinn's gift.
There's no point in fighting a losing battle, right?
You're just giving up?
No, no.
I have not yet begun to fight.
Mr. Culhane, you had a message from a Donny.
He wants to know what day is best
for Andre's next podcast here at the club.
Next podcast?
I think you got that message wrong.
No. She got it right.
I'm the one who was wrong.
You should call him back.
You had something to do with this?
I made a few calls.
Sent Andre some of our new high-tech
ColbyCo equipment to film the series,
and he was open to a redo.
I wanted to make things right between us
after I screwed it all up.
I appreciate it.
But what happened with you?
Why the meltdown?
I lied to you about getting the approvals
I needed in Washington.
The entire trip was a bust.
I sunk a fortune into ColbyCo Space,
and I still don't even have a launchpad yet.
Why didn't you just say that?
Pride. Embarrassment.
I like to think I'm something of a mentor to you.
Someone to look up to.
Didn't want to admit that I failed.
It's not a fail until you give up.
And Jeff Colby never gives up.
Yeah, well...
I guess there's a first time for everything.
COLIN: So, as the majority shareholder,
I now call for a no-confidence vote
and urge the board to replace Ms. Carrington
with yours truly.
QUINN: Your track record certainly speaks for itself,
having turned McNaughton Global Media
into the empire that it is today.
I see no reason why we can't vote on this matter immediately.
Well, you seem to be in a hurry, Quinton.
Let me guess, early tee time in Scotland tomorrow?
It's nothing personal, Fallon. This is business.
No, business is always personal.
But you're right. Why wait? Let's vote.
We don't even have to leave the room.
Okay. This should be quick.
By a show of hands, all those in favor of
Colin McNaughton becoming the new chairman of
Fallon Unlimited.
Ellen, what's going on?
All those in favor of Fallon Carrington
to remain as chairman.
What just happened?
I believe you lost.
In America, we call it a landslide.
(forced chuckle)
You still got your buddy Quinn's vote.
Finally unpacked?
Yep. I'm ready to start a new chapter.
I feel good knowing all of my amends are done.
Really? All of them?
Oh, no. Did I black out and do something awful
to a bellhop?
No, there was no bellhop.
But I'm the one who's been driving you around for two days
so you could do this.
And I said thank you, didn't I?
And every time you did,
I thought an apology would follow.
And then I thought, well, maybe she's just saving
the most important one until the end,
and yet, here we are, at the end.
You think I owe you an apology?
(scoffs) Yeah.
I mean, do you know how often I was freaking out
thinking I might lose my best friend?
I have completely neglected my own life,
including the hotel, to help you.
And I didn't ask you to do any of that.
Well, you shouldn't have to, Kirby.
That's what best friends are for.
I found you OD'd
in a ratty apartment,
and I thought you were dead.
If you don't think I deserve an apology,
then you didn't learn anything in rehab at all.
I come in peace.
(chuckles)
I must say, that was pretty smooth back there.
How'd you pull it off?
Once I realized I was fighting a losing battle with Quinn,
I focused my energy on winning back
all the other board members.
And they turned, just like that?
Well, after I promised I wouldn't make
any major decisions in the future
without board approval.
Fallon Carrington gave up control?
Yep.
You impress me more and more.
Yeah, well, the feeling's mutual.
You are the first adversary I've ever had
that's as focused and ruthless as I am.
I'm flattered.
And since you won fair and square,
I'll sell my stock and get out of your company.
Or you could stick around.
You know, strictly as a consultant.
If that's something you'd be interested in.
I suppose I could retain a small amount of stock
and keep my options open.
I mean, obviously you're desperate for me to stay.
(laughs)
A drink to close the deal?
Um...
I do have a dinner thing,
but, um, yeah, yeah.
I can spare an hour.
We might make a good team after all.
I said consultant.
(elevator chimes)
What do you want now?
I'm getting tired of these house calls.
That explains the bags under your eyes. Where's Amanda?
I thought I made it clear I don't want you
anywhere near my daughter.
Correction. She's our daughter.
Blake, you don't know what you're talking about.
No, I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Amanda is my daughter.
Excuse me?
Are you saying that you're my biological father?
Amanda, ignore him. I warned you,
this man is nothing but lies.
I know you don't have any reason to trust me,
but I do have something you can trust, DNA.
I had a sample of your hair tested,
and I'll take a blood test as well,
but yeah, it's true.
It's all lies. Get out of my house, do you hear me?
I want you out!
I am not gonna let you keep me from my daughter.
You understand me? She deserves to know
the truth about you.
Oh, what would you know about the truth?
Enough! Enough!
You are both behaving like awful people.
Alexis, I'm sure your portrayal of Blake
was embellished, to say the least.
And, Blake, what kind of person steals someone's hair
instead of just speaking to them like a human being?
Here's how this works going forward.
No more lies, and no more manipulation.
If I am gonna have a relationship
with either one of you, it's going to be on my terms.
Are we clear?
You tried to keep her from me and you lost.
I'm gonna rebuild my dynasty,
and Amanda is gonna be a part of it.
I will not lose another child to you.
I don't care what it takes, even if it kills me.
If you don't back off, you may just get your wish.
Thank you. Eva?
What are you doing here?
Sorry to interrupt date night.
I just need to see Fallon for a moment.
I thought she was at the office with you.
No. Oh, she probably went out for celebratory drinks
with some of the board members.
She stopped the takeover attempt.
It was pretty amazing.
Somehow I never doubted it.
I'm sure she'll be home in time for dinner.
Or at least dessert at the latest.
Yeah. Thanks.
Oh, I forgot to tell you I found this great photo of us
from your award ceremony.
Here, I'll text it to you. Give me your number.
Sure.
Oh, and would you mind passing this file on to Fallon?
I would stay, but I have plans tonight.
A moonlight hike up on Kennesaw Mountain.
I didn't know you were the outdoorsy type.
That sounds like fun.
Yeah. Unfortunately, my friend
flaked on me last minute,
so I'll be alone with a group I don't know.
But, uh, the stars should be beautiful tonight.
Yeah.
Uh, I better run. Good to see you.
(phone chimes)
I thought you were the main wholesaler
of champagne in the city.
How does two bottles help me when there's
a bridal toast in an hour for 300 people?
No, I don't want them.
Hello? Hello!
Ugh! (sighs)
What are you doing here?
And have you seen Javier?
He's chilling all the bottles of champagne
that just arrived for the toast.
Huh? What champagne?
How do you know about that?
And you still haven't told me what you're doing here.
I called in a favor from my event coordinator days.
It's the least I could do
after monopolizing all your time.
Am I the only one confused here?
When I called the hotel looking for you,
Javier told me all about your champagne problems.
Which used to be my favorite Taylor song
until the last two days.
I'm really sorry, Sam.
You were right.
I made amends to all the people who were mad at me,
but not the ones who were worried about me
and took care of me.
I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for you.
You're at the top of all my lists.
Thank you.
That's all I wanted.
That and to never talk about champagne again.
That works for me.
What's this?
It's great, how you want to be my mentor and all.
We're friends first. In failure and success.
You showed up for me. I want to pay you back.
Open it.
Thanks, but I'm not looking to get into the oil business.
(chuckles) When I worked for Blake as a driver,
I got to know one of the Carrington Atlantic engineers.
Now, I remember him telling me how C.A. used to sell
their abandoned offshore rigs as satellite launchpads.
So if I can secure a rig off the Georgia coast,
I have my launchpad and I don't have to deal with Washington.
Nope. Just a Georgia senator
that has to okay launching from there.
(laughs) There is hope.
Now, here's the part you'll really love.
If we throw our support behind Blake's opponent
in the senate race and he wins,
Cavendish will owe us a big favor.
And as a bonus, we keep Blake from getting into office.
Two birds, one rocket.
(laughs)
BLAKE: Thank you all for being here.
Actually, we're here for dinner.
Which you won't let us eat until you tell us your big news.
Big news indeed.
The Carrington family is going to be expanded by one.
No, not-not that.
Recently, Adam and Fallon found out that
they have a half sister.
Well, I'm here to tell you
that she has been upgraded
to full sibling.
Amanda is my daughter, and a true Carrington.
Let's not forget she is also Alexis's daughter.
Yes, well, we take the good with the bad, right?
Now, I hope that you will all welcome her
with open arms.
Sure. Sounds good.
Can we eat now?
I think you did a great job, honey.

I don't do great with strangers.
Oh, look, I owed you one.
You showed up for me at the award ceremony,

Besides, I've been wanting to do something like this
