Dynasty (2017) s04e17 Episode Script

1
Previously on Dynasty So, I want to build a rocket
and send it into space.
Eva. Since Fallon can't make it,
there's an empty seat next to me
at our table.
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?
- Mm-hmm.
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.
It's Eva.
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.
- There you go.
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.
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.
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.
If you don't mind
- how bright it is in here.
- Ladies.
- Bless you.
- Excuse me.
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.
- You're an angel.
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.
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.
- Yeah.
So what's this big
PR plan you have
- for launching the new club?
- Well
I was thinking we'd have
this place host a podcast A podcast?
How will that help?
Four listeners drop in
for a glass of sparkling water?
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.
Bye.
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
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.
"
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.
You cannot deny that
she could be my daughter.
I can. She's not yours.
Denied.
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.
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.
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.
- Of course you will.
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.
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.
- So you understand.
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?
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.
- Hmm?
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.
- Yeah, we've been trying
to get Colby
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?
Okay, do you have any idea
what it took
to get ColbyCo where it is
- today?
- Yeah, I do.
Because you've been talking
about it endlessly.
- I think we're done here.
- Are we?
'Cause I'm thinking
- we never started.
- You know what, Andre?
I've had just about enough Hold on, now.
- Where the hell is he going?
- I'm out.
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!
Oops.
How clumsy of me.
Stay away from my daughter.
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.
- Relax, all right?
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?
- It's the truth.
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.
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.
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.
- It has?
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.
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.
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.
- Mm-hmm.
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.
- Yeah, you might be right.
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.
- No. Too predictable.
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.
- Perfect.
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.
Exciting?
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.
So, as the majority
shareholder,
I now call for
a no-confidence vote
and urge the board to replace
Ms. Carrington
with yours truly.
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.
Indeed.
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.
Oh, but don't look so down.
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?
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.
I must say, that was
pretty smooth back there.
- How'd you pull it off?
- It was simple, really.
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.
- Didn't know you
had it in you.
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.
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.
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 takeoverattempt.
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.
- Yeah?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
In the quiet of a shadow
In the corner of a room
Darkness moves upon you
Like a cloud across the moon
Hey, it's Liam.
Leave me a message.
Hey, um, I was thinking
we could still have
that romantic dinner
outside by the pool.
Looks like a beautiful night.
Where are you?
Call me. Bye.
Don't forget to breathe
I'm so glad you offered
to come along.
I don't do great
with strangers.
Oh, look, I owed you one.
You showed up for me
at the award ceremony,
so I'm returning the favor.
Besides, I've been wanting
to do something like this
for a while.
Hey, look, Orion's Belt,
up over the horizon.
Just breathe
Just breathe.
