Dynasty (2017) s04e01 Episode Script

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.
Heavenly angel
Copper arch.
Angel
Wooden guestbook.
White roses.
Heavenly angel
"Us laughing,"
but keep "us holding hands"
on standby.
Since we met
I can't forget
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.
