She is not my favorite person, but I'm always. I'm always going to watch to see what Abby does Baby boy, baby girl, oh, fantastic.

Dynasty is the camp you need to get through the rest of your day. So settle in, pour yourself something bubbly, bright and we're going to jump into season four, episode 16 of Dynasty.

Speaker 1:

Little girl, why did I forget Kirby was walking around with preeclampsia or a toxic shock syndrome or whatever it is? I totally forgot that the doctor had told her hey, you need to go home and lie in your bed so that you can salvage this pregnancy. And she did just the opposite. Kirby was fully aware of the consequences of what could happen if she didn't lie down, and she did the opposite. Carrington's are there at the hospital with her and they're told that she's about to stroke out. It ain't looking good. So as soon as she's stable, they want to go ahead and do a cesarean to try to salvage either both lives or one or the other.

Speaker 1:

Unfortunately, this is where we've gotten to. It is worth noting that Adam is noticeably upset by the news because the last time they were in the hospital, last time he was there, he heard the doc say that the baby was too small to survive. So he's freaking out. Notice that Adam is on a 10. This entire episode the doctor talks to he and crystal and blake and he's like listen, I don't really have a choice either. I, I, I. As soon as she's stable enough to go into surgery, I need to have surgery. We're gonna see if she survives or if the baby survives.

Speaker 1:

Jeff is nowhere in the perimeter, but it's okay, because Crystal knows that Jeff's not the baby daddy. Blake knows that Jeff's not the baby daddy. So Jeff gets to go ahead running around Denver gallivanting, acting a teetotal fool, chasing him behind a fountain Because he chooses to do so. So after visiting Kirby at the the hospital, blake goes back to the mansion to prepare for a business trip when the defibrillator Peter the defibrillator that is calls him, asking for ransom money so they can get that dang horse Allegra. I had all but forgotten about that. Is it a coincidence? I don't think it's a coincidence, because by season four everybody has their. You are, you know if you're popping, you know if you're not popping. Dynasty knows that they're popping, but they still choose to bite off of the the whole. Oh, there's a missing horse storyline. Falcon crest will repeat the same thing in a year. But damn it, why is it about horses? Was there something in the early 80s about, about horses, with the budweiser horses popping? I don't. I really don't understand what this is. I'm not a billionaire so I don't understand wealth like that. But is is this what wealthy people worried about circa 1983, 84, 85? Either way, it's dumb, I don't want to hear about no damn horses.

Speaker 1:

Fallon is ear hustling from the hall. She scolds blake after the phone call because it sounds like to her that he's asking Peter the defibrillator for some follow-up questions about this horse and the whole ransom. I would imagine that the wealthy and elite people of the world tend to get a lot of ransom notices, a lot of accusations, a lot of things right. I don't think that's unusual for him to ask these questions, but Fallon feels a way about it. So she's listening to him as he takes his phone call from the defibrillator and then, after he hangs up, she comes into the library. Blake likes to do all his business in the library. She can't understand why he's asking all these follow-up questions about the horse and his ransom. Something feels off to Blake and I agree with him, and Valen is offended and she would like to know a couple of things.

Speaker 1:

Number one why in on earth, daddy, would you question a man that you barely know who's asking for millions and millions of dollars for horses you bought for your second wife? Why? Why would you even question that girl? Bye and b. Why are you questioning my taste in men? Now, blake handles this beautifully, because you already know I'm not always team Blake, but damn it, sometimes you, I'm with you when you're right. I'm gonna be real with you. I'm always with you when you were right and he's right.

Speaker 1:

Fallon has the worst track record when it comes to the menzos. So he's like fallon darling. I would say that, um, your, your taste in men is rather impulsive. I don't always know who I'm speaking to. I don't't always know who you're sort of field you're picking from. So I'm always going to be precautious when it comes to business with your men. Period, point blank. Don't take it personal, please take it personal, because you have, she has a crappy taste in men.

Speaker 1:

Fallon's not having that, she has suddenly decided that there is a vendetta against my man, peter the Defibrillator, defilus defil, but what I don't know his name is, I don't know his name is, but there's something against him. Why are you tripping about him? Because, maybe, maybe because he doesn't blink, maybe because he's a weirdo, maybe because he speaks only four or five words at a time. That's why you've known him for four and a half minutes, you buying horses, you rearrange your whole life. Who wouldn't be concerned?

Speaker 1:

This is what pisses me off so much about Fallon. Damn it, fallon. You should be the brightest person on this show, but you continue to act a teetotal fool, especially when it comes to men. You cannot tell me that a wealthy girl like Fallon a billionaire circa 1981, would pick a non-blinkingoked out, real thin weirdo to be her man. You, you got me messed up. I refuse to believe that.

Speaker 1:

Fallon feels there's there's some sort of conspiracy against my man and blake folds. He's like well, okay, your mama did tell me that once upon a time this weirdo was in some weirdness. Fallon's like how dare you believe my mother? Fair, that's fair. But also, if you watch the show, alexis doesn't necessarily lie. She told us this season too. She might exaggerate a few things, but she ain't never really lying. So if you dig into anything she's saying, there's probably some truth. Maybe she expands on that, maybe she doesn't. Fallon's like okay, I'm gonna settle this, daddy, the horse was kidnapped. Seriously, I don't care, we only known him 10 and a half minutes. The horse was kidnapped, daddy. Oh my goodness, this girl drives me nuts. It is suspicious. Let's be real.

Speaker 1:

Fallon wants to get to the bottom of this. She goes to her mother's house. She's like mommy, I need to talk to you. Alexis is in a fabulous silk robe with fur cuffs, or whatever you call it, at the wrist. She's got like a fur situation going on. It is beautiful. Fallon's like mom.

Speaker 1:

What are you going to be honest about the story you made up? Alexis is real. She's like, girl, I make up stories all the time. You're going to need to be a bit more specific, darling. What are you talking about? The one about Peter being a weirdo? Oh, no, baby, I didn't make that up. That is a fact. I matter of fact, I saw that with my own eyes. This isn't even hearsay. So back when I was in New York, peter was dating this French actor. She was trash, she was the worst actress I've ever seen in my life, etc. But he played her to the point where she wanted to exit the world via a self-inflicted wound. If you will, I saw that with my own eyes. Baby girl, this is the truth.

Speaker 1:

Fallon doesn't want to hear about it. She's like you know what, mother, you are so jealous of me? Now I stopped as I'm listening to this. I stopped. I'm like wait, wait what Alexis said. The same thing, girl, wait, wait, wait. What? How on earth, darling, could I ever be jealous of you?

Speaker 1:

I agree, this is not petty, this is real talk. You have to know who you're barking at. Think about this. So, queens, would you rather spend a day with Alexis or would you rather spend a day with Fallon? I barely got that sentence out of my mouth before I almost gagged. There is no way in hell I'm going to spend a day with Fallon.

Speaker 1:

It is all about Alexis. Alexis is like girl. Why on earth would I be jealous of you? You, alexis? Alexis like girl on. Why on earth would I be jealous of you? You are my child. I don't want anybody on earth playing you. That's why I'm saying what I'm saying. You don't have to like it, but I'm not gonna shut up about it because I know he ain't ish and I know you deserve better. So I'm gonna say what I need to say.

Speaker 1:

Your dad and I happen to agree on this. He's a weirdo. You know it. This fool hasn't blinked since he's been with you. He's skinnier than you. In 1981, 82, 83, 84, nobody's waist on television was bigger than like six inches. It is. It is an apocalypse of, of fat, of, of, uh, adipose tissue, if you will. It is an attack on thicky thickums and this man is skinnier than you. It is because he is doing that cocaína. He is that booger sugar. He is that that snow white, that white horse, whatever you want to call it. It is a travesty. Get your gullible butt out of the clouds. Also, I believe alexis because she has a different posture when she's telling the truth. I suppose this meeting with her daughter was a non-factor, because she moves on.

Speaker 1:

She ends up going to the opera. She's wearing this killer outfit. It is all white skirt suit. So the skirt is this long sort of fitting skirt in all stark white. She's wearing a jacket, that is, it has embellishments along buttons over the shoulder, all the things. They're silver sort of. Remember the bedazzler machine where you could hand press and eat a sort of stud, that's kind of what it was. But she looks amazing. Hair slick back. I love Alexis with a slick back hairdo and we were in her penthouse after the fact.

Speaker 1:

She's telling Mark Mark, do you know that once I was in the opera I looked around and the only hottie available was you. You were the hottest guy there. Oh, my God, mark is so hot. Mark's like well, yeah, I know I'm hot, but you're also hot, alexis. I couldn't keep my eyes off of you. I just I couldn't wait for this to be over. I thought about you. She's off for you. I just I couldn't wait for this to be over. I thought about you. She's like yeah, he goes. Yeah, he takes off her necklace. And she's like yeah, make sure that gets to the the jeweler tomorrow. Fix that clasp. I'm your boss, you work for me.

Speaker 1:

Alexis, was there a reason to draw him in like that? I have no idea why she decided she needed to be messy boots and draw Mark in. I was thinking to myself, as all this was going on, where the hell is Dexter? I thought that was your main squeeze. Apparently he's still her main squeeze, but Alexis has introverted tendencies.

Speaker 1:

You see, you don't necessarily want to be out, you don't necessarily want to have to give your energy to entertaining people, but I definitely want to be invited, because if you invite me to your event, it means that you think I'm exciting, but if you don't, it means you think I'm lame. But also, I don't want to have to actually show up to your event. I want you to feel like you're missing out if I don't, but if I do, I want you to be like oh my God, I'm so lucky. I totally understand this. As a very outgoing introvert, I totally understand where she's coming from. Mark, do you think I'm hot? Well, let me get hot. And then I want you to think I'm hot and then I want you to go away because you can't be with me. Totally reasonable, I suppose. If you are the baddest of the baddies, like an Alexis, then your offspring can help to have that sort of magnetic pull with men. That is the only explanation that I have for Fallon and her boys.

Speaker 1:

So Jeff goes to La Mirage on his own accord. There's really no reason for him to be there. I thought about this. Baby Blake is at the mansion, fallon works out at La Mirage. There's really no intersection, there's no crossover, but somehow Jeff finds himself at La Mirage. So Jeff gets into it with Peter. He just won't let go. Jeff is obsessed with Fallon. He makes a scene and I think there might be some mercuric oxide residue on his frontal lobe. I can't explain any other reason why he would be acting a teetotal fool in front of God and everybody at high noon at the La Mirage. During lunch hour you were embarrassing everybody, god dang it. I tell you what Nana got worked up.

Speaker 1:

Now this man has had a full-fledged fight with Adam. Adam is from Billings Montana. Fight with Adam. Adam is from Billings Montana. I fully expected Billings Montana to be a roughneck blue collar dude who could have waxed the floor with a preppy boy like Jeff. But that's just not the case. I don't know what it was with Jeff today. Jeff's like to steal children. Jeff's like to manipulate women into false marriages, even though they know how that's going to end into false marriages, even though they know how that's going to end. Jeff's like to chase skinny women who, like anorexic men it is. It is infuriating to me. But for some reason Jeff sees Peter the Defibrillator at the bar at La Mirage. He realized he needs to get buck in his face.

Speaker 1:

Baby boy, don't you know? You're married to someone else? What are you doing exactly? And my girl Fallon, for the first time in four seasons, makes the proper assessment. She's like dude, break this up. First and foremost, you are not my man. I I decided you weren't worth my time. You need to move on. Aren't you married to a whole another woman? And also, isn't that whole another woman in a hospital fighting for her life and the life of your child? She's right, even if she's a little bit wrong. This is Jeff. Be a man, go to the Denver hospital and make sure that your wife current can give birth to your child so that my baby has a sibling. You know what? It took long enough. It took what almost 100 episodes for me to finally agree with Fallon, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Speaker 1:

Something about that speech resonated with Jeff. He's like dang, you're right, I'm just wrong even though he knows that the baby that Kirby is carrying is not his. He heads to the hospital and he meets a distraught Adam. I cannot stress this enough. Adam is absolutely beside himself this entire episode and Jeff is overwhelmed with the reality of the situation. This is not his baby, but it's Adam's baby. He can only imagine how he would feel if it was baby Blake. So he's like yo, adam, I'm so sorry about everything that's happening to you. I'm also really, really sorry of accusing you of poisoning me with mercuric oxide in my office. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. Listen, adam off the meds may be a little bit unpredictable, but he seems to be a very reasonable person. I have to admit that he hasn't done anything extremely wild in a very long time, so I feel like under normal circumstances he might have apologized, but this is not the time nor the place. He got a whole baby and a potential wife. He don't say that could dissipate at any moment. So this ain't the time for reconciliation, okay?

Speaker 1:

So meanwhile, peter the nosecrack piper is out of control this entire episode. He's talking to authorities like they're peasants. He's running his mouth left and right. Peter don't realize he don't want anything but his bath water and maybe Fallon. So what had happened was Blake comes back from his meeting. He was in a random meeting with, like random congressmen and the first bit of news that he hears is that Peter and Fallon are ready to tell him that the horse is home. He's like, oh my God, that's great, but also, really, allegra was returned that easily. This feels a way. He's being a naturally inquisitive person who runs an empire, it is in his nature to question things. Right, that's what you want.

Speaker 1:

So he finally gets to see Fallon and Peter the Defibrillator. He's like hey, why didn't you guys call me? Fallon says well, daddy, we were in an important meeting. He goes call me in the middle of a meeting. I'm always available. I agree with him. All of us in corporate America, please, please. There's no better time on earth than to call me, than during a meeting. But Fallon acts like it's a faux pas. I can't do that, daddy. Daddy, I didn't call you out because you need to be called out.

Speaker 1:

So the defibrillator long story short starts gaslighting Blake who just has natural questions. Well, how did you know the horse was there? Where did you pick up the horse? Did you give him all the money? Where'd you get the money from? You cashed off the diamonds, okay, yeah. So the defibrillator claims in this instance that he had the money and that the kidnappers told him to meet him two miles away from the Carrington compound. He meets them two miles away and they say leave the money behind a rock that has been painted blue. Are you absolutely serious? The defibrillator came to understand why Blake doesn't believe this hook line and sinker. I'm with Blake. Like that sounds like a very, very likely story. It's only two miles away, blake, did you bring the proper equipment there? He has natural questions.

Speaker 1:

The Fallon gets buck in her daddy's face Like how dare you? How dare you question my man? How dare you question my man? Girl, if that's what you insist on living, so be it. This just feeds into my argument as to this just does not make sense for the Fallon I saw in season one. It is what it is. I've gotten some interesting insight from other people who are like no, no, no, the other Fallon, the new century Fallon is the one you need to watch. It is what it is.

Speaker 1:

So meanwhile, back at the hospital, stephen shows up to comfort, comfort adam, and this is our first taste of a cleanup. On aisle four. This is adam is distraught. He's he's very upset about kirby's current condition. Steven comes in and he's like yo, adam, you don't need to worry, he's all huggy, huggy, kissy, boo, boo face and he's like listen, back in the day kirby was a brave little girl who survived a canoeing trip solo because she didn't want to wait for anybody else. She was so focused on getting in that canoe and whitewater rafting by herself that we just let it happen. There was no nannies around or whatever. Adam is somehow comforted in this. Adam's facial hair is growing and he has a full-on goatee. It makes his jaw a little bit square. It is the hottest thing ever.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to go ahead and finish up with Kirby and Adam because it doesn't get any better so later in the episode. Kirby's blood pressure is still out of whack, so she needs to go ahead and have this surgery they've been waiting on, they've been waiting for her to stabilize. It's happening. Adam is distraught. He remembers that the doctor said the baby has a very low chance of surviving. So he's doing all the things, he's praying to any god he thinks will listen. He ends up going to the chapel and he ponders his life. He decides it's a good time to confess to blake, who shows up a little bit later. He's like so, blake, I'm so grateful for your hand in my life. Since I've known you, you've accepted me with open arms. I love you so much. You've been a great asset to me. However, I need to confess something to you.

Speaker 1:

Alexis didn't poison Jeff. I poisoned Jeff because I hate Jeff. So Blake hears this. He's like no, son, listen, you're just confused. You're just protecting your mother. Your mother is a vicious barracuda of a woman. She totally set this up. He's like no, no, no, no, no, father, I knew she wouldn't read me things, so I had her sign these papers and I decided to poison him because he's stealing my life and I was jealous.

Speaker 1:

They don't have time to get into this, because the doctor enters the room and he says Kirby is alive. So we know Corbethias is perfectly fine. Adam is wondering about the baby and he got. The doctor tells him that not only that, it was a girl, a a little baby girl, but unfortunately she didn't make it. Adam crumbles like a cheap suit. I'm not going to lie, adam crumbling like a cheap suit was so sad it broke my heart, which is why I didn't want to attach what I attached to the other episode. I'm not even going to speak on it, we're going to move on. It was horrible, but, per Dynasty's characteristics, there's always a silver lining, and the silver lining in this episode is our good sister, tracy.

Speaker 1:

Now, I have waited for Tracy to pop off. I figured, if you name an entire episode after her, she has to be impactful. Right, she? Dex, dexter, the defibrillator, they're all making waves. Per dynasty, usual, the back players, the uh, mid players or low players, are the ones carrying the show.

Speaker 1:

Tracy's in her office doing her thing and she decides to spill the beans to blake, who comes in looking for crystal bristle's obviously not there, because she's doing I don't know what, even though she didn't have PR experience. Tracy says hey, did you know that your ex-wife and one of her board members are canoodling Blake's like you don't say. She said yeah, blake, I thought you just might want to know. He said you know, baby girl, you are paying dividends. I love having you around. You are my girl. Okay, I love having you around, tracy.

Speaker 1:

Sort of basked in this praise, blake decides at a later point in the show that he needs to confront Dexter, although he forgot who he was speaking to. Dexter ain't no punk Dexter. Although he forgot who he was speaking to, dex, dexter ain't no punk. Blake said listen, I can never tell you who you can and can't date, but it doesn't look good that you were sleeping with the enemy. Dexter says it may not look good, but it definitely feels good. I'm not gonna leave Alexis for nothing or nobody. Get over it. It is what it is. That's what it's gonna have to be.

Speaker 1:

But Alexis is not done with her power move. So power move. Number two, if you recall number one, she wanted Mark to want her only to son him. Be like yo run out and run my errand. On the second attempt, she invites Congressman Neil McBain. You might remember that name from last season when she blackmailed him and he choked her out right by the door for office. As he walks in, she goes god, you must really favor that spot. That's where you tried to kill me and failed. You weirdo. He's like. Don't even worry about that, alexis, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones. She's like yeah, I agree, totally, totally.

Speaker 1:

But I also hear that you're telling my homegirl, who's married to another congressman you were telling them that you had the hookup for all of the blah, blah, blah, political, political, political. So he says yes, absolutely, I want to be your political advisor. She's like no, I don't want you to be my political advisor, but I want you to advise me on advising who I should pick for my political advisor. He gets pissed alexa, I can't believe you just would do this to me. She said get out of my sight. You, miserable, has been cold for no reason. But again, this is the. I want to know that you want me, and if I need to invite you into my office every nine to seven months to let you, to just get a feel for how hot I am in the streets, I'm going to do that.

Speaker 1:

She used this man and it is devastating. Now, this man is no fool, he's a congressman. He has slithered his way into many offices. So he reaches out to Mark Jennings, aka head of her security you need to go ahead and just ditch this woman, because she's going to play you in the end. Mark's like no, no, no, no. Listen, I'm a beautiful brunette man with curly hair. I am the creme de la creme. I'm not trying to mess up this bag. I don't want to get my nails dirty. The congressman is like, don't even worry about it. I have the best people on earth on my payroll and don't worry about your nails, mark. I know the best manicurist in town.

Speaker 1:

I don't know who's writing these quotes for this show, but I could literally just put them in a spreadsheet and deliver them every single day. This is iconic. I can't wait to see how this turns out, because I've always kind of thought the Mark Jennings being a security guard or her protector didn't really make a lot of sense to me. I don't see where he's ever proven himself as someone who could protect someone else. I've never seen it. Maybe you have, I don't know. We will figure that out at another time because we got to discuss my girl, claudia v stallion. Whoever's harassing my girl really does need to stop. She's outlawed mirage and someone sends her some violence. Luckily crystal is there I don't know if they're gonna have lunch or whatever and claudia invokes one of the cleanups on aisle four moments.

Speaker 1:

If you recall, steven did the same thing like oh, kirby was the bravest little kid. You're not going to convince me that broke broke, kirby, who was the, the daughter of the maitre d or whatever you call him, joseph, was afforded the same lifestyle as a fallon or steven. You stop playing in my face, cla Claudia's like yeah, well, I remember the day that I testified at Stephen's trial and how later I crashed car with Lindsay inside. I woke up in the hospital and I never actually saw Lindsay hint hint. Or my ex-husband Mr Hips, mcbittlebickery, blaisdell, hint hint. The fact that the Dynasty is bringing this up. I am fully expecting Lindsay and or Matthew to pop back into the story, because why else would you bring them up by name?

Speaker 1:

My girl, claudia, is always on the verse. She is two vivid, lucid dreams away from being locked up in the sanatorium again. She can hardly say nothing because people already think she's a kookaloo. It's also pressing to me that she is friends with with um Crystal, who is the reason that she went into the insane asylum in the first place. So she's keeping it in mind. But I mean, I think she's having very lucid thoughts here. She's right, she never actually saw Matthew. She never actually spoke to. She never actually saw Matthew. She never actually spoke to Matthew. She never actually saw Lindsay after the accident, so why should she believe that they are gone? If she wasn't a soap opera, I'd be like girl, charge her to the game, but I'm going to have to stand on the side of my girl, claudia the stallion.

Speaker 1:

But I also want to recognize how difficult it is to be a person who is two-time offender, a repeat offender, at the insane asylum. She's been an arkham asylum for like four years. She might have a moment here and there, or perhaps she was never insane. Perhaps everyone around her was insane and she just had to sort of deal with the consequences. It it is what it is. I'm fully expecting either Matthew and or Lindsay to show up at one point. I certainly hope Matthew don't come back because, god, although I respected his business partner, he was a he got on my nerves. Okay, so this is one of the best parts of the episode. Okay, so this is one of the best parts of the episode.

Speaker 1:

Remember when I told you that Tracy has entered her snitch era as she told Blake about the relationship between Dex Dexter and Alexa? Dex and his beautiful back hair has not forgotten that. You know what? There's only one way for him to have found that out, and I think it is by Tracy, the super savvy New York transplant who's suddenly living in Denver. So he goes over to her office. Actually, let me correct myself, let me be petty here. Tracy does not have her own office. Tracy shares an office with Crystal, who wears cream almost every day of the week, and Tracy has her own little nook within Crystal's PR office.

Speaker 1:

So Dex Dexter shows up and he says hey, pretty girl, are you willing to chat with me, my beautiful back hair? She says no doubt Dex has done his homework. He's well versed in the fact that Tracy's reputation precedes her. She's an ambitious person who will do whatever needs to be done. He gets the feeling that she is trying to be on Blake's good, good, good side. You know what I'm saying? Tracy is not wonderful.

Speaker 1:

So she does this whole sing song. Oh, why would you think that about me, dex? That's so unreasonable. As she's saying this, she's massaging his hands. Now I don't always pick up on these signs, but I'm like okay, she doesn't necessarily want him, but she wants to throw him off. She says you know, dex, messing with a chick like me might put you in some boiling hot water. So he raises his big beautiful paws, he flips them back and forth, back and forth, kind of like the Beyonce single ladies movement, and he's like look at that, tracy. Oh my god, I'm not burned at all. Doesn't seem like I'm boiling, as in a chick chick. She starts massaging his hand and she says well, clearly you haven't been around me long enough as an almost Czech mate. This is one of the best developments of season four across the board that I've seen thus far. I can't wait to dig into how this turns out.

Speaker 1:

But in the meantime, in between them, at long last Tracy has woken up. She's ready to play. I love that they introduced Dexter because he's also ready to play. Try your best, tracy. I am a kabillionaire. It seems like the kabillionaires always win. We're gonna have to sit around and wait and see what happens. That's it. That's all. I hope. You enjoyed today's double feature of Nuts Landing and Dynasty. Join me next time as we jump into another fun-filled edition of Soap Lora. We'll be focusing on Dynasty. We need to see what's going to happen In the meantime. In between time, god don't fall in love with the Peter Crack Piper of Piper. Stay hydrated, stay moisturized, mind your own business and keep all of your drama on TV. Thank you, bye.
