Ever wondered what you missed out on before the golden age of streaming? Welcome to Soaplore, the podcast where we dive headfirst into the wonderfully over-the-top world of vintage soap operas from the 80s and 90s. I’m Jett, a TV-loving Millennial who’s finally escaping the monotony of modern shows and embracing the drama, the shoulder pads, and the catfights of yesteryear.
Join me as I experience the soapy sagas of "Dynasty," "Dallas," "Falcon Crest," and "Knots Landing" for the first time, episode by episode. With over 200 shows, we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll probably question our life choices—just like the characters do, but with slightly less fabulous wardrobes.
Whether you’re a Xillenial who grew up with these iconic series, a Millennial like me who missed out the first time around, or a new fan discovering the glorious chaos of primetime soaps, "Soaplore" is your time machine to the melodramatic past. Tune in, relive the magic, and let’s marvel together at how people ever survived without binge-watching.

S4 EP27 Dynasty :The Nightmare: The" Faaaaallllll-aahhhhhhhhnnnnn!! "Episode
A velvet-voiced stranger silences La Mirage, a jeweled hand throws real mud, and a bride vanishes into a storm—this finale doesn’t blink. We open on Dominique commanding the room, then watch her stride into Blake’s office with details he doesn’t want to hear about the Villa Marini and Rashid Ahmed. The twist lands with a smile: she’s a Carrington, or close enough to rattle the family crest. That single revelation reframes the power map in Denver and sets the tone for what’s coming next.<br><br>Meanwhile, Sammy Jo turns chaos into leverage, pushing for full custody of Danny while cozying up to Adam in the gym. Steven’s fuse burns fast; one taunt about “help” raising his son and he snaps, proving the Carrington temper is a plot device all its own. Across the chessboard, Kirby arrives with a pistol and leaves with a ticket to Paris because Alexis turns a crisis into a negotiation before the tea cools. Adam swallows the humiliation and falls into Sammy Jo’s script—because in this house, rebounds are a sport.<br><br>Blake’s empire buckles as the bank forecloses and Dex saunters in with a lowball bid for the Not Broncos. Krystal offers faith and fight in equal measure, but the math doesn’t care about monologues. Then the two set pieces hit: a spa-side quip from Alexis about Krystal’s baby earns a faceful of mud, and Fallon’s wedding tilts into nightmare—headband off, vision blurring, guests packed shoulder to shoulder as she slips out, jumps in the car, and vanishes into the rain. Inside, detectives slap cuffs on Alexis over a six-figure check tied to Mark Jennings, and Dex can only watch as diamonds meet holding cell fluorescents. Outside, headlights, roadwork, and a truck fill the frame as the screen cuts to black.<br><br>We’re talking new power players, custody brinkmanship, foreclosures, reconciliations, and a cliffhanger that begs for theories. Hit play, subscribe if you’re new, and tell us: whose move changed the game the most—Dominique’s reveal, Fallon’s flight, or the bank’s hammer? If you loved the ride, share the show and drop a review so more die-hard soap fans can find us.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome and welcome back to South Glory, the official gathering points for new weeds. Now this is an OD Del Hart fans of the golden name of Primetime. I'm your old jet still viewing and reviewing this dope and this study is primetime storylines of 1984. We are coming into the second fourth annality of dinosaurs. So whether you're new to this or to this, back and enjoy time. Today we get to feast on the fantastic finale of season four Dynasty. I'm already excited. I don't even know what's going to happen. I was sitting up thinking, like, what else could there be? There's not really a lot of holes in this season's story. There's not a lot going on, but I already know it's gonna be a good time, especially with the buzzer beater entrance of Sammy Joe making her triumphant return. I'm so glad she's back. And Deborah Rowe. By the way, I finally figured out why that name sounded so familiar to me. That's Blanche's last name on the Golden Girls, right? It's either Dev, I might be thinking wrong, Deborah Row or Deborah Row. I can't really tell what they're saying. Either way, I'm kind of interested to see who the hell she is and what she wants. She looks fabulous. Let's just let me just put that out there. She looks fantastic, but I'm like, what does she want and who does she want? I'm still kind of banking on the Rashida Med. That's what I was thinking. With all that's going on, she must have seen something on the news and decided to pop up. Rashida Med is my first guess. Last episode, Falcon Crest. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I had a blast. I'm sticking to what I said. That was the best finale of all the shows I've seen thus far. Was not ever in my wildest dream expecting anything to come between Chase and Maggie, but they both, oh Connie Giannini, I didn't really expect her to be on the last episode. But I did not see Maggie and Richard ever having anything going on. But I I do like it. Sorry, I like it. Want a shout out to one of our soap fiends in Oregon. Gave me some really tea on some of these shows. I am so enjoying this. Um I'm gonna go specifically about Falcon Crest, and there's a little bit about Dynasty, but we'll talk about that later. It says Barbara Stanwyck was the original actress considered for the role of Angela Channing. I looked her up and I feel like I've seen her in a few things. Miss Chanwick decided, or Stanwick, excuse me, decided it wasn't really right for her. So she called up. She's like, why don't y'all reach out to my homegirl, Jane? I can't picture anybody else as Angela Channing. I just can't. She's she is her 100%. Okay, but it says we should expect Miss Stanwick to be on the dynasty spin-off, the Colby's. Okay, that's another thing. I've been anticipating the Colby's. At some point in the season, I sort of forgot about it. As far as we knew, it was just Jeff and Cecil. But you know, this is this is soaps. Relatives always come out of the woodworks, I suppose. Jeff has a mom. We've never really talked about that, but I don't think her last name will be Colby. Who knows? I am looking forward to that happening. That's gotta be pretty soon, though, because we're already at 1984, 1985. That's gotta be coming up really soon. Sammy Joe, aka Heather Lockleer, auditioned for the role of Vicky Giaberdi. I am so happy that that did not go through. I'm afraid to even think of what her career would be if she had gotten that role. Maybe she would have spiced it up a little bit. It's I blame it on the writing. I can't remember who the actress is who played Vicky. Matter of fact, I couldn't remember Vicki's name. I made mention of Cole's little sister a couple episodes ago. I couldn't remember her name. I don't think these shows do these young actresses any justice. I'm thinking of Lucy as I say this. They don't really know what to do with them if they're not dating an older man or pregnant. They just sort of throw these just inconsequential storylines at them, and we're, I mean, the only exception I can think of is Diana. Although Diana is a teenager, they wrote her with intention. You know what I'm saying? Every time she's on screen, you're you're still drawn to her. Yes, she's a pain in the butt. Yes, she gets on my nerves a lot. She's been pretty pleasant for the most of this season, but her stories really do pull you in. Like you want, you kind of I don't want to know what's going on her all the time, but if a couple of episodes are about her, I'm interested. She's she's written very well. Whereas the other girls, it feels like they don't really know what to do with them. So they send them off to wherever. Where is Vicky? Vicky's in New York or something, being a dancer, if I remember right. Yeah. Okay, so Susan Sullivan, the lady who plays Maggie, originally turned down the part of Maggie because she was afraid the character would be one-dimensional. Once producers convinced her that the character would be well-rounded, interesting, and have a significant storyline, she took the role. Here's what I'll say about that. Thank you, Organ. I've seen Susan Sullivan over the years in a few different things. I didn't exactly know her name, but I knew her face, I know her tone. Very classy woman, very beautiful, pretty good actress, but she's very much typecast. Is at least from the things I've seen her in. I feel like she was in another like sitcom. She's in my best friend's wedding as Cameron Diaz's mom. And as Vicky, excuse me, as Maggie Gioberdi. I mean, she's think about it. Maggie has lots of interesting things happen to her, yes. But is she interesting? No, not really. I I think by making her a writer, that opened the door for her to be a reporter, which is interesting because she can investigate things, making her a creative screenwriter so she can, you know, get entangled with this man. You know what I'm saying? It's not, you're not really following Maggie for Maggie's sake. She just happens to have an interesting career, and that brings in more of her storyline. This season, of course, they threw in her mother and her father and her being adopted, but even then, that didn't really turn out to be nothing at all. But I could totally understand her reading the first season script and thinking, well, I mean, this is kind of boring. But also, but also, I I've never seen her out. She's Maggie on Falcon Crest. She's the exact same person in everything I've ever seen her in. Not that that's a bad thing, but yeah. I wonder what what exactly they promised specifically, like, oh, Maggie's gonna dig up some dirt on da-da-da-da. Who knows? One more little tidbit I thought was really interesting because there's a lot about Dynasty. The guy who plays Adam, Gordon Thomas. Adam is supposed to be 25 years old, but Gordon was 37 when he was cast on Dynasty. I'm not mad at it. He looks, I guess I've never really thought about his age. I do vaguely remember when his name was still Michael from Billings. They mentioned that it was 25 years ago, but I hadn't really thought about that since because in my mind they have shuffled around Steven and Fallon's age. I could have sworn Fallon was the older sister, season one. I've never actually gone back to check, but it's irrelevant. He's been a wonderful addition to the show. I'm glad they let him take the role. And I'm actually glad he's a little bit older with a little more experience under his belt because he he toes that line of I'm gonna snap, I'm gonna be the super villain, but you still kind of want to cheer for Adam because you can tell he's trying. Let's see if he tries it on this episode. I'm gonna go ahead and watch the whole thing, and then I'm gonna come back and let y'all know how delightful it was. So go ahead and pour yourself up something bubbly and bright. I'm gonna repeat my rose because there still ain't no stagger. I can't believe it. I had a whole plan at my mouth fixed. Oh well, we'll see what happens next time. Settle in for season four, episode 27, Dynasty the Nightmare. I'm trying my best, y'all. I made it four minutes in. Let me just start off by saying this. I don't know if I've said this enough. Alexis is so beautiful. Deborah is so beautiful. These ladies are just stunning, first and foremost. Let's get that out of the way. They are gorgeous, and I can tell just by looking at them. Um, what's her name? Is it Joan? I always want to say Joan Crawford. That is Joan, right? I watched her sister's documentary a long time ago, the one who wrote Wright's book. Can't remember her name. So this must be Joan. Joan Collins, pardon me. I can tell she has her own makeup artist. I can tell. It her lipstick is custom. I've been clocking that for a while. Her whole look is very much curated. I don't think it's somebody on the show. I think she has her own person. I think she has her own person because I looked at pictures of her recently and she's still got it. She is damn near a hundred years old. I'm not even being funny. She's still put together. So hell, maybe she got a new one. That's neither here nor there. These women are gorgeous. When the show opens, you see Deborah sitting at the piano, tickling the ivories in this white sequin outfit, and she is singing. It's not a show tune because it's slow. She's singing this sort of slow ballad. And when I tell you the room is quiet, everyone is smiling and hypnotized, they are slowly smoking cigarettes. She's got the whole room in the palm of her hands as she sings this, but she's sort of looking into the camera. And my first thought was, Was Diane Carroll a singer? I know I said I watched Lifetime Intermittent Portrait. I don't really remember. So, okay. I just looked it up. It says she's an American singer, actress, and activist. I think back in the day, based on her age and probably Joan Collins, I need to see if she sings too. Diane Carroll's born July 17, 1935. So let's say she started acting around 20, she would have still been under that studio system. I know you're not supposed to like that, but when I tell you you were properly trained and I respect that. It's like now when you go listen to music, nobody has an AR. They don't get developed like they used to. God, I sound old. But you know what I mean. There was a time where you were worked with for a little bit, a year or two before you went out. I know K-pop is like that. You you're kind of kept hidden for a little bit. You work night and day, day and night, and then you debut your talent before the world, but it is it's polished at that point. And I think now we sort of appreciate people just kind of having that raw, you you know, you're on American Idol or America's Got Talent, and we discover this diamond in the rough. I like that, but I do appreciate the polishness. I didn't realize she sang like that. I didn't realize she had like albums. That's interesting. That's very interesting. Anyway, she is using her musical talent to wow, woo, and pretty much seduce all of La Mirage. This must be the same night that she visited Alexis because Alexis comes in and she still got on that golden black number, and she looks over and she sees the whole room is sort of staring at Deborah. She's like, The look on her face is like, mm-hmm, whatever. She's cute or whatever. She alright, she ate, she sounds right. She ain't no Sinatra, she ain't Whitney Houston, but she sounds alright. Alexis goes to the bar to have a little smoky poo and a little champagne. When Deborah is done, it's almost like she sensed Alexis coming in, I suppose. So she walks over to the bar and we learn her name. Her name is Dominique, which I love that name. I have a cousin named Dominique, but he's a boy, but I do know a girl. She's so cute, she's so beautiful. I love her. So Dominique, not Blanche Depero. Now, the curious thing to me is how in the heck did Alexis find that information out so quickly without Google. I don't think more Morgan has says she's cussed him out at least three times this season. So he's definitely not working for her. How did she how did she know who that was? Maybe she remembered? I'm assuming that because Alexis points her little cigarello at her and she's like, Dominique, she says Deborah Row very Frenchly. I had to put on the subtitles Dev of the Row. And Miss Deborah Row says yes, not Lois Lane. She's still mad about that. She feels a way like you think I work for TMZ. Are you tripping right now, please? Look at how fresh and fly I am. Do I look like I report news? So Alexis has learned a little bit about her. Apparently she had some homes and money, Carl, or whatever. They keep going over how rich they are in European countries. Alexis says, Well, why didn't you tell me who you were? Davoro says, Maybe I felt a way about you not remembering me. So here's the thing. Let's just be very blunt. I don't see how you wouldn't remember this super flat, wealthy black lady parading around Europe. She's definitely got an American accent. Transatlantic, but American accent nonetheless. She's dripping in fur. So maybe she didn't look like that back in the day. I'm trying to figure out because she said that to Fallon, too. She said something about I thought you'd recognize me. I don't know how that would be. I don't know. So maybe she worked for somebody at some point. I'm assuming that because it feels like a come up. No, no, no. Actually, no, that can't be right because she she is acting like she's been her. She ain't acting like new money. I'm thinking about Sammy Joe. I'm thinking about Crystal, how timid they were with wealth. This woman is quite comfortable being wealthy, but you would know who she was then, right? Let me shut up and finish watching this, y'all. Okay. I'm gonna watch it. I'm gonna chill till like halfway through. Okay, I got a little bit carried away. I'm about 22, 23 minutes into the episode, and so far, so very good. Alexis asked the barkeep after Deborah Sachets away, how long is this woman booked here? And the barkeep tells her that Miss Deborah is booked indefinitely. Interesting. What's more interesting is why would the barkeeper know that? Unless she told him personally, which I doubt. She doesn't seem like she's friendly with the staff like that, but she has charmed an entire room of people. If nothing else, they're like, Let me come hear this velvet voice woman with this killer face card. Meanwhile, at the mansion, Steven tells Blake that Sammy Joe has an ulterior motive. She's not here just visiting baby Danny, baby Danny. She's here to snatch him up, and he'll be damned if this lying, cheating scoundrel of a woman has anything to do with his child going forward. There's zero chance she's gonna get this baby. This really should be nipped in the bud as soon as possible. It is very unusual for the child to be taken away from their mother. However, I feel like in this circumstance, she's already given him up twice. Probably not gonna give him back to her. That's irrelevant though, because Sammy Joe is pissing people off left and right. Not in this scene in particular, but so far at 22 minutes, she seems to be pissing everybody off. The next time we see her, she is laid up in a bed. She appears to be nude, so it looks like it's postcoitus. Only when Morgan Hess walks through the door, he seems a little bit surprised to see her. And she's like, hey, the janitor let me in. He remembered your lady friend from the last time I was here. They're gonna do that whole dynasty dialogue thing where they tell us this weird backstory. It happened off camera and it needs to sort of squeeze into the story that happens today. We'll see. I thought it was Morgan Hess's apartment, but I just rewound it. It's not his apartment. He seems to be renting a room. Like he's not doing great financially. He I know this because he uses a key to open the door. You wouldn't do that to your bedroom. Anyway, he's like, Well, what are you doing here? She starts going on about how the violets almost worked. The violets that were sent to Claudia the Stallion. That's kind of funny. I don't think I thought about that. I kind of forgot about that. But apparently she mastermind that she might she hired or she hooked up with Morgan Hess. He clearly doesn't get laid a lot because he is he is basically drooling all over again. He threatens to tell the Carringtons that Sammy Joe hired him or came and slept with him and told him to send all these flowers to Claudia to send her back to the Looney Ben. Sammy Joe was like, you know what? I kind of like the sound of that. They need to know who they're messing with. They need to know I'm not some dumb pumpkin off of the turnip truck or whatever you say. I want them to know. And he's like, Oh baby, you know I ain't gonna tell. Gosh, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It makes me a little uncomfortable. Heather Locklear has a baby face. Even today, she's still got there's something about her face that's kind of childlike. Maybe she's doll-faced to me, I don't know. But this older man who looks like he might have been a snack back in the day, but him just sort of drooling over her feels really gross. She just seems to be happy that someone is drooling over her. There's really no reason to go and see him. Especially if she wants him to reveal that it was her sending those things to Claudia. I don't really know. I guess the only reason this scene happened is so we could go ahead and put a bow on that, go ahead and tie it up and explain where all that came from. It wasn't just Morgan Hess being a weirdo, it was absolutely Sammy Joe trying to drive this woman crazy so she can get her baby back. Speaking of which, Crystal gets wind of the whole Danny Custody thing. Crystal floats downstairs in yet another fabulous robe. This time it looks like a wedding dress, while Sammy Joe is taking advantage of the buffet breakfast every morning. She's putting copious amounts of burnt bacon on her plate, eggs, whatever they had, she's putting it on her plate. Crystal basically says, Girl, you cannot be serious. Why would you want to disrupt Danny right now? You can't be serious or something like that. Sammy Joe says, Oh, I heard that in an old movie. You can't be serious. I'm like, girl, that's not that that's come on. That's a basic term. But she's basically calling Crystal an old lady and saying, Listen, I'm smart now. I'm not a spoiled little brat like you think I am. I'm a grown woman. And I can already tell you're spewing BS at me. That baby needs to be with me. This needs to be with her. She wanted Steven just long enough to collect a check. And now that that check ain't coming, she's got to figure out another way to do it. That's what I'm thinking. She wants this baby because that is a guaranteed paycheck. She's not trying to be mother of the year. Matter of fact, after she wolfs down her breakfast, she goes upstairs in her little invisible shorts, barks at the lady in the nursery, hey, get them ready. I want to take them outside. We got to rewind a little bit so we can talk about Kirby. Kirby shows up this episode in a full-on Mike Jackson thriller jacket. So I suppose Alexis has just uh come home from Lama Rock. She put on her pajamas. She gets a call from Kirby. She's like, My God, what, what, what? Kirby comes through. She's like, Alexis, you didn't let me finish saying what I was saying. And she's like, Oh my god, again with this. Kirby, get over your parents. Like, it's not my fault. Let it go. Kirby refuses. You took the only important thing away from me in my life, Joseph Anders, and that's not fair. And you think you can just throw your money around. Alexis is getting quite bored with this. She sort of you can see her zoning out. She's like, God, dude, have my Sephora coupons come in yet? Yeah, I'm gonna order some more Langcomb. She's totally thinking about something else. Eventually, after this 20-minute monologue, I'm exaggerating, Pergy Pergy, Kirby finally whips out the pistola. She pulls out the blicky, and Alexis' like, oh my god, girl, you don't want to do this, Kirby. And Kirby's still steady giving that speech. She's shaking and whatever. Say what you will about Alexis. This woman has ice water in her veins. She immediately goes from this bored future mother-in-law to a hostage negotiator. She's like, Kirby, your mother went crazy just like this, and she shot someone and went to jail. Do you want that same fate? You don't want to do that, Kirby. And Kirby's like, oh my god, it's starting to get in her head. You don't know. No, stop. I'm gonna shoot you. I'm gonna shoot you. Finally, Alexis is like, all right, shoot me. I'm not moving. You got that blicky? Point it right at me and shoot me. Do it. It'd be real easy. I'm not moving. I'm right here. Kirby can't do it. Kirby's hands are just shimming and shaking. Alexis tells her to put down the gun, which is a shame because Kirby went through all those lessons. She watered and washed and pet her pistola every single night, fed it fresh bullets, put it to bed, and she still doesn't know how to use it when the time came. You were not a killer. Sometimes you just have a little catfight. She couldn't do it. So now that Alexis is no longer in danger of being pumped full of lead, she tells Kirby, I won't press charges. Kirby was fully expecting the cops to come and get her, which would have really sucked because I would have been the second death in Alexis' apartment within the span of two weeks. That does not look good. That is bringing down the real estate for sure, for sure. Alexis has some stipulations. I won't call the police on you, Kirby, if you, number one, you need to leave Adam. Number two, you need to go back to Paris. And number three, you also can't tell Adam why you're leaving him and going back to Paris. If you do, if you or if you stick around, I'll call the cops on you and I'll cut him off financially forever. Kirby kind of scoffs, like, what do I care about Adam? Alexis says, Oh, I know you love him. So I know you'll do what he says, what I say. Did I miss something? You know what? That's that that's a rhetorical question. Don't answer that. Maybe I did miss something. I've been known to miss a thing or two. But yes, I've seen Kirby make out with Adam, but it never seemed like she was in love. I didn't really buy that. Just seemed like he was there. Anybody in that house who's not blood related to you is just sort of there. They're just gonna take you up on it. That's what I thought. But Alexa seems to think that Adam and Kirby had a true love affair, and so does Adam. We know this because Kirby goes home and she begins to pack her teens so she can move to France again. Adam walks in in his infamous silver bullet shorts, which is you know an inch below his belly button practically, basically glorified draws. And he says, Kurves, what are you doing? She's like, Oh crap, dude, I was gonna write you a letter. I have decided not to marry you. Why? Well, I don't love you, and I'm going back to Paris. He immediately smells Alexis all over this. Does my mom have something to do with this? No, no, Adam, it's because I don't love you. He's like, You do love me. You've told me and you've showed me. No, I I really don't. I gotta get back to Paris. He's like, No, you love me, you love me. And Adam, we've talked about this. He goes to grab her. You know, he's very aggressive, he does not know how to be gentle, probably from growing up without having younger siblings. So he sort of tackle, hugs her. She's like, Oh my god, get off me, get off me. What are you trying to do? Rape me again? And you know what? That's the button. But in all fairness, in all fairness, you tried it twice. That's all I'm saying. He goes, Oh, okay, okay. So you want to head back to France to parlez-vous with that baguette. Toss your croissant around. Fine, do that. That dude treated you like dirt. And you know what? I tried my very best not to treat you like that, but that's all you'll ever be, Kirby. It's dirt. I'm like, damn, how the tables have turned. That's what I'm talking about. First off, Alexis was right. The girl went a little bit cuckoo over very little and started brandishing a weapon she couldn't even fire after, you know, two months worth of lessons. How do you botch a uh what is it called at close range shot two times? But dude, this just does not make sense. This is what happens when you fire a supporting cast member in haste, and now we gotta build this whole thing. What was the point? Well, the show's not over. I'm sorry, it just does not make sense, but whatever, we'll allow it. Kirby says she's on her way to France, Adam is super pissed off, he goes to go finish working out. Now, unbeknownst to him, Sammy Joe was ear hustling from the hallway. She goes back to the nursery where Danny is and barks at the nurse, nanny, whatever. Never mind, I'm not taking that kid out. And you know what? Little Danny didn't want to go out anyway. He was refusing to put on his coat, so good on him. Oh, dear God. In all the excitement, I had kind of forgotten about the wedding. That's the Colby Goblin wedding for crying out loud. I just wasn't thinking about it. I think Steven said something in the study. So they're in their room. Oh, I love you, I love you. No, chemistry. No, chemistry. It's almost like when you play with your Barbie and Barbie kisses Ken like they can't really move. That's exactly what it looks like. So I wonder if they hated each other, if they were grossed out. Like, why not hire those stunt devils they bring in all the time? They know they don't give a damn. I wish they would. They probably have like an eight-foot-tall man, they don't care. Yeah, they're they're kissing, they're getting married, and they're so in love. Anyway, back to the action. Adam is in the gym in that carpeted gym in his hoe short, riding a bike like he, like he's Lance Armstrong or somebody. Like his life depends on it. Thank God it's from the side. Because when I tell baby, these are draws. There's no way they could have filmed him from the front. We'd have seen all of his fruit of a loom. Well, he's minding his business, working up a sweat, trying to shake off Kirby when in walks Sammy Joe. She went and put on something a little more exotic. And by exotic, I mean she uh switched from her little hose shorts to a leopard leotard in red with a matching headband. You know what I'm saying? She's like, Oh, Adam, I sure could use a strong man to help me. And you gotta put your hand right in the small of my back, so they're all crotch to crotch or whatever. Two and a half seconds later, they're kissing. Do you see the timeline in this piece? He literally walked down the hall from his fiancee, called her dirt, and six and a half minutes later, he's already smooching Sammy Joe. He's they're passionately kissing, or at least really kissing. It's it's such a contrast. When in walks Steven. Steven walks in with a pocket full of dams, and he drops Neri a one. He's completely unbothered by his brother kissing his baby mama. Matter of fact, as Adam leaves, he's like, Good luck, bro. Good luck with that, my guy. He's like, Samantha. So you trying to take the baby? You really want to do this? So, what had happened was Steven's friend, uh Chris, remember from the beginning of the season. Chris is a lawyer. He is, I guess he's Steven's lawyer instead of Andrew, which is kind of weird. Chris got a letter from Sammy Joe's lawyer stating that she wants full custody. This is not news, but I think it we just need to set this up so Steven can do what he does. What does he do? I'm glad you asked. He's like, Sammy, this is really how you want to play it. She's like, Absolutely, Steven. I don't want to work. I don't want to model, I don't want to do anything except be a mother to Danny. And I'll have help raising him, so you might as well be prepared to give him up. So this is when Steven removes a damn from his wallet, or two or three, actually, from his pocket, and drops him on the floor because he'll be damned if his brother, who he hates, is gonna play stepdaddy or daddy to his son. Is bad enough this little harlot came in here ruining his life. Uh-uh. That's you said the wrong thing. That's his button. She has a towel around her neck to cool off from, I mean, kissing, I guess, and changing clothes. She probably you know what? In all honesty, she probably did work up a sweat putting on tights and stuff. I don't know if you know this. And maybe this is TMI, but we grown here. Almost threw my shoulder out one time putting on sports bra. Like those that compression crap is sort of difficult to squeeze and and wiggle your hand. So she's got on full I guess they're not pantyhose, whatever is thicker tights. She's got on tights and a leotard and warmers. So yeah, she might have worked up a sweat putting on all them tight clothes, but it doesn't matter because Steven sees this as an opportunity. He didn't see that as a towel, it's a noose. He grabs and he twists it, and he's listen here, you little wench. You're not taking my son, it'll be over my dead body or yours. Um you know what that that sort of tracks. This family is known for murder or you know having a hairpin trigger. Temper. Adams tried to kill somebody. Blake has actually killed somebody and tried again. Tried twice. It's yeah, Steven's due. So we'll see what he's gonna do. Sammy Joe will probably end up in the pond or something. Nah, I don't think he'll do it. He'll probably sprinkle some drugs on her. That seems way more likely because she made the comment. No judge is not gonna give a kid to his mom unless she's an unfit mother. So hopefully he comes up with some sort of scheme to paint her as an unfit mother. Plus, like I said before, she's pissing everybody off in the house. I don't think it'll be very hard to have some character witnesses be like, nah, she ain't it. Only friend she has is Adam, and he's on the outs. Stephen does what any man will do. He calls his booth thing, Miss Claudia the Stallion. They have lunch at La Mirage and he's telling her all about it. And she's like, Steven, sorry. I thought Chris instructed you to meet peacefully with Samantha and create a personal schedule where you both have custody of Danny. Steven's like, I'm not trying to hear that, Claudia. I'm not sharing a damn thing with her. Only thing I'll share is my foot up her. Claudia continues. What if you lose custody? I'm not gonna lose custody. But what if you do? It's better to share Danny than to lose him. She has a point. However, the look on his face, I can already tell he don't care. I'm not giving up this kid to this hillbilly. It's not happening. Right about that time, this hillbilly flaunces in with Adam. God, these people gotta get him. Come on now. In Denver, there's gotta be 115 other places to go, but whatever. They probably get the friends and family discount. Maybe they have those good Monte Cristos or something at La Mirage. Whatever they have, there's not enough of it to help Mr. Blake Carrington. Blake is forced to sell his football team, the Denver Not Broncos. I can't remember where they are, their stallions or the can't be the Colts because that's Indianapolis. The Denver Not Broncos. He's supposed to meet with this guy, Max, but in burst Dex Dexter. Dex Deep Pockets Dexter come to buy the team. Hey, dude. Blake is none too pleased to see him. Dexter, what the heck are you doing here? Oh, I'm Max's partner. You ain't know? I got a lot of businesses. So anyway, um, I have a check for the Not Broncos. Passes it over to Blake. It's for 10 milli. Blake is insulted. Damn it, I'll only get 4.5 million from this with my share. That team is worth 50 million. So I guess he would have gotten what close to about 20 million? Something like that? If it had sold for what it needed to sell for. Danny, I mean Danny, uh, Dexter's like, listen, that's the that's the deal. You can take it or leave it. I I really don't care. I can buy the dolphins or something. Or the not dolphins, the SEALs. I would like to see a football game a little later on in this series. I'd love to know what the other teams are called. Blake is not having a good night. As a matter of fact, after he is he rejects that that uh deal. So Blake either makes a call to the bank or the bank makes a call to him, and we catch the last little bit of it. You're gonna regret this. He's barking in the phone at the bank. So I'm like, uh oh. And Lord, there's a lot of dialogue here. Crystal comes in right about this time and he tells her that the bank has foreclosed. He's lost the company. It is no longer Blake's Denver Carrington, but you know, he's given that gone with the wind, the South Shall Rise Again type speech. Those banks are gonna ruin the day. Crystal's trying to be a good wife. She's like, babe, listen, it's okay. Banks can foreclose on a company, but they can't foreclose a man. Doom doom doom doom. The more you know, right? I guess, Crystal. She then goes on to say, Your talent for finding oil is unmatched. This is news to me. I have watched this show for three seat four seasons. I don't recall him being especially good at his business at any point. Not really. He's not, you know what it is. He's not forward thinking. He's so caught up in being right that he doesn't really see all the traps around him. He doesn't realize that. He seems to forget, even though he's on the receiving end quite a bit, he doesn't understand that. Don't nobody care how big and bad you think you are. I don't recall him being good at finding oil. That's all I'm saying. Steven's good at it. Yeah, whatever. Somebody is, right? I was really thinking it was at Lankersham and Matthew, but I can't remember if they had they were working for Denver Carrington, right? Yeah, I think that's how that went. They were working for, so maybe that's what she means. You know what, Blake? You have a raw talent for attracting people who are good at finding oil. I'll accept that. He hears her, but he doesn't hear her because all he's thinking about is the future. Like, what am I gonna do? I'm gonna get this company back. Chris was like, no, babe, what I'm what I said all that to say. So what if they foreclosed on you? You're very rich, money will come to you very easily. You can just start a whole nother company. I'm not starting another company, I'm gonna I'm gonna finish this one. They're gonna be begging me back. Those banks are gonna be on their knees. They have they picked the wrong guy, they don't know how deep they're in on it. I'm like, sir, it sounds like you're going to embarrass yourself in the near future. It sounds like you want to run up on a bank that um I don't think that's a good idea. You can't just burst into a financial institution demanding money. That never ever turns out well. Anyway, he's hooting and hollering about how he's gonna make the bank bow down. They're gonna beg him to run this company again. I I doubt that very seriously. Banks aren't in the business of managing businesses, not at all. But whatever helps you sleep at night, he's like, okay, Crystal, go go ahead and go to your office and get your things. So I that's where I've stopped. Let me pick it up there. I guess. Are they gonna pack up tonight? You know what? Actually, that's a really good idea. They should probably pack their things discreetly before everyone notices, and maybe leave a note for them. God, email would be so helpful at this time. They could just send out a mass email being like, hey, the company's probably gonna switch hands, but I would discreetly clean out my office. Maybe let your secretary know. Anyway, carrying on. Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up. Okay. Blake tells Crystal to go get her things. Apparently, Marsha, his secretary, is still there. Which I guess makes well that's irrelevant. Blake goes to his desk, his secretary pages him and says, Hey, there's a lady here to see you, Miss Devereaux. He's like, I don't know no Devereaux. Because no, she's insisting that she needs to speak to you. Okay, to rewind it. Marcia says, She says you didn't know her, but you stayed at the Villa Marini. When she walks in, she looks fabulous. First off, she's kind of got on a Star Trek outfit. But it is like a gray and cream coat two-tone. The shoulders, like everything above the boobs, is cream. There's a nice geometric pattern, and she's wearing this fur turban hat. It's dope. She looks great. But she comes in all bold, like, what do I look like way down the hallway? And Blake, I think honestly, Blake is just had he's had a rough night. Had this happened in the morning, it might have been a little more warm, but he's he's over it at this point. He's like, Hi, how can I help you? And she asks him again about the villa Marini, Mattini, whatever. Does that hold any significance to you? And he says, uh, I mean, I had a business, I did business there. And she goes on to say, You met there once with Rashida Med. So here I am thinking, okay, yes, Rashida Med is the, I think I said that last time. He's a little connector here, maybe that's her boo, that's her whatever. She says that he used to frequent her clubs in Rome all the time. She's there to satisfy her curiosity. She wants to know why a man who's supposed to be as smart and strong as Blake would be okie doked by this fool. There's nobody. Blake ain't in the mood. He thinks she's a reporter at this point. And in all fairness, he was recently interviewed by that guy who was kind of cutthroat. And she's not exactly giving any sort of compliments. She's definitely prying, right? Blake's like, you know, I'm I'm sorry. I I'm tired. I know you're here for a story. I can't give that to you. My little girl's getting married tomorrow, so I need to go home if you don't mind. She says something in French. I heard say throw, something like that. Why are y'all steady calling me a reporter? What about my drip? Says reporter. Have you ever seen anybody this fly reporting? He's like, okay, whatever. You know, either way, I'm leaving, you need to leave, also. She's like, okay, cool, cool. I understand you got things to do. But let me tell you something. When you get through with your daughter's wedding, you should definitely look me up. We are two people who need to know each other. So he's like, great. I'm going to tell Marcia I'm leaving. I'm also going to tell Marsha you're leaving. And he just leaves. So she stands up and she walks over to a picture of Crystal, Bristol's headshot. Actually, it's a glamour shot. And she goes, Oh my, what are they gonna think when they find out I'm a Carrington? So let's, okay. She's a Carrington. Damn, I wish she said Colby. That would make a lot of sense. Ugh. Okay, so she's she keeps insisting that they remember her, right? But if if I'm hearing this correctly, she must have been in or around this whatever, this hotel, this villa. Around the time Blake was there. There had to be something a little bit more significant. Um, if she's a Carrington, then she is either married to one. Is she a cousin? Is she a she could be a daughter? I don't know. She seems kind of I don't know. I guess there's a million ways to skin a cat. And I was thinking back to season one-ish. Blake, well, you can tell they don't give a damn about the storyline. Blake was saying he had to pull himself up. He came from nothing. He said that again at the top of this season or last whenever Adam came into play. It was they they talked about how Blake had to sort of work his way up. He, you know, he, you know, he came from nothing and was raised up, but he didn't actually say, okay, so to me that eliminates sibling because this woman is clearly rich, clearly rich, and she don't seem like new money. Blake basically said he was broke and pulled himself up. So I don't know. We'll leave all our options open. This could be auntie, this could be cousin, this could be um damn. I don't know. I'm trying to think. I don't know. But she says she's a carrington, so I'm trying to figure out what happened in Rome. Did he have a cousin in Rome? Like, I don't know. We'll figure it out in a little bit, I guess. I mean, this is bugging me. Okay, okay. She's gotta be. I'm gonna watch the rest of the show, I swear. But how many carringtons are there at this point? Dozens, right? Did they oh my gosh, I just thought about it, I just thought about it, I thought about it. Okay, she said that does does the memory of blah blah blah blah, blah, ma uh motel motel, villa ring a bell? What if she effing married him there? What if this is okay? This is what we need. I like this. I like this a lot because she knows who Lil Alexis is, right? She wanted to look her in her face. She asked Fallon if she knew who she was, so that could be like, Did your dad tell you that he married me? Maybe he was drunk. I don't know. Maybe, maybe something happened over there. That's what I'm leaning towards. What if she's a real Mrs. Carrington? Okay, they just got they just got a whole lot more interesting. We'll leave all avenues open, but I'm leaning towards that because she's brought up this motel. I think she even brought it up to Alexis. That oh my gosh. Okay, okay. Okay, moving on. She's either really, really related or she's related by marriage. And gosh, I don't know. We need this family tree post-haste. Hell, I don't know. Sorry guys, I'm gonna let this go. I have to, but it's just I wasn't expecting I don't know what I was expecting, other than Rashida met who she brought up. She's like, we should know each other. He quiet is kept. He might need to ask her for a loan. She looks like she's got a lot of money. And if if she, I mean, she definitely does, she probably knows where to find it. Okay, yeah. Final answer definitely wife. Because she went over to Crystal's picture and was looking like, Well, how are they gonna knock their whatever when they find out I'm a Carrington? She could have said Mrs. Carrington, but she looked at Crystal's picture like and then went over there. So not Alexis dressed like a 1920 paper boy. She's got she's got this. She's got a little beret cocked to the side. She's in her penthouse, and someone downstairs tells her that Mr. Dexter's here. So Dex is on his way up. Y'all, I love this scene so much. I like them together. I really enjoy them together, and I really like him. So he comes upstairs and he's like, You stepped out on me. I went and had an affair with Tracy. Whoomp whoomp de woomp. You hate me, I hate you, this third, this, that, and the third. Why don't we call it even Stevens? I want a relationship with you, and I don't really care what that looks like. I want you, Alexis. I want you. And I thought she was gonna throw him out on his behind. She doesn't. She's like, you know, I missed you two. So they embrace each other and she invites him to Falon's. I can't even say wedding. Her oh. I can't believe we're doing this. I can't believe we're doing this, but she invites him to be her escort to her daughter's wedding, which is good for her. She's being invited to family stuff, but the gang's back together again. Kiss passionately. Let me just reiterate that. Passionately chemistry. It's real. You know what? I didn't do that justice. Not only does Dex say I had an affair, you had an affair. I don't know why they're calling it affair since neither one of them were married, but he basically says, You said we were no longer lovers and we've never been friends. I realized I set up this double standard. I don't know why I expected you not to do what I would do. She cheated first. So what is he talking about? I went to Wyoming to get fresh air, to clear my head of you. I couldn't. You're a whole lot of woman. I want you. So I know Oregon says that uh I'm gonna mess up their names, Joan and Linda, aka Crystal and Alexis, got along in real life. They definitely don't on the show, and I love that. Crystal pulls up in a new baby blue Mercedes. I hadn't seen this one. She's going into the spa to get her hair did. Alexis had told that she had an appointment, so she was at the same spot. When Crystal walks in, the receptionist lady is telling the drivers to bring around Mrs. Colby's car. She only has half an hour, so Crystal knows she's there. Crystal goes to her little booth. It just happens to be next door to Alexis's. So I suppose this is an all-inclusive spa. They get the full hair, the treatment, the makeup, or whatever. Alexis is getting her makeup done, and Crystal's girl is mixing up this vat of mud, about to put on a mask, even though she's got on a full face. Because I I can see her eyeliner and stuff from here. Full face of makeup. Alexis and her makeup artiste are chatting, and the makeup artist is like, Oh my gosh, I bet your daughter's wedding is gonna be as beautiful as Mr. and Mrs. Carrington's wedding. Alexa says, I really wouldn't know I wasn't there. The makeup artist continues. I read in the column that Mrs. Carrington is pregnant. How exciting this is also Carrington. Alexis, and then mind you, Crystal's in the other room, she can hear everything. She's just kind of flipping through a magazine because she already knows Alexis's gonna say something slick and she's gonna get up and handle it. So Alexis is like, well, if you ask me, when you tell an old man he's having a baby, he don't really ask who the father is, implying that Crystal's knocked up by somebody other than Blake Carrington. And the makeup artist is like, ooh, Crystal's girl doesn't notice. I think that's the girl from Facts of Life. Maybe, maybe not. That's all Crystal needs to hear. She shuts her magazine. She said, Girl, give me that mud. The girl gives her the mud. I mean, I guess when you have rich patrons, you gotta do what you gotta do. As long as she's not throwing it on me, I'm fine. But she walks right over, gets a big handful, and said, Do you like to sling mud? What throws it right in her face. It was a little bit hard, in my opinion. We might have fought for real. This ain't a TV show anymore. I've got mud up my nose. Listen, you gotta lose an eyelash, a nail. I gotta scar you up in some way. I'ma I'ma snatch out a plug of that hair something. Jeez, who writes this crap? It was a dark and stormy night, and Fallon, Carrington, Colby, Colby lay on her chaise while her brother enters the room wondering where the heck she is. The floor is here, the beanbag I bought you's about to be here. I hate when they do. I hate specifically when Fallon and Jeff do this, and Steven now, where they go back to the good old days where they were all chummy and friendly and yes, I bought you a beanbag on your seventh birthday, and you said thanks and punched me. It hurt. Where are you hurting now, sister? Okay, yeah, uh all over because she's about to marry this fool she really don't want to marry. She tries to play it off, like, no, and you know, Stephen, ain't nothing wrong. It's just that it's it's raining, you know what I'm saying? It's my wedding day. And it is kind of it's really dark. It's it's not just raining, there's lightning and all that. She finally tells him about her headaches. I suppose she's only told Blake, but Crystal witnessed it. She goes, Sometimes I get these really bad headaches, they just come on all of a sudden. They always come on when she's about to go meet Jeff or she's about to be attached to Jeff in some way. This whole wedding is triggering, which is very insulting, by the way. The wedding is triggering her super migraines. She basically tells Steven that she's nervous and don't tell anybody. He's like, it's such a big secret, I promise. I'll take it to the grave, sister. He kisses her on the cheek, and I swear there was way more passion in that than between her and Jeff. They do have a pretty sick cake. I've never seen this many flowers on a cake made from icing. It's kind of dope. A cake like that today is probably$4,000. It's crazy. So Fallon is in her parlor getting ready. She's in her dress, and god, I hate the headband. I hate this so much. It looks like that styrofoam ring that they use to make floral arrangements. If you don't go to like a Dollar Tree, you'll see them. They're everywhere. Little round styrofoam things you stick the flowers in so that they kind of bush out instead of just straight up. They have that, and then somebody bedazzled the crap out of it. They like glued their mama's pearls and some pieces of flower and stuff on it. Her dress is really pretty to me. I'm surprised I like it. It's actually very regal, very beautiful off the shoulder. She's got three ladies fussing all over her. And I swear to you, one of them is Connie Giannini. Let me look this up. So Crystal comes through and she gives her a lucky penny. Apparently, it's the same lucky penny that Fallon gave her on her wedding day. We don't know if it's the first or the second. That makes no never mind. Crystal leaves the room in her gorgeous robe. Fallon goes back to the three ladies fussing over her. I think it's the people fussing over her that's giving her these headaches. I also just looked it up and apparently that's not Connie Giannini, but it looks just like her. That's got to be her niece or something. Anyway, they start fussling and whatever, and you know, it's triggering her headaches, and she hasn't told nobody, listen, I can't tell, I can't stand all that yapping. Need y'all to keep it quiet, quietly, quaff me, or get the hell out. She finally snaps and screams. Everybody gets out. Y'all got to go. Go on. Yep. She needs some air. She needs some privacy. If you watch this recently, then you know when Crystal and Blake got married, they also got married at the house. Crystal came down the stairs and they all sort of pulled into the second room. So she walked all the way down the stairs and then into a room. But for Fallon and Jeff, for some reason, they're just gonna walk like everybody is piled in the first room you come in into the house. Tons of people. It is standing room only. Fallon's headaches are terrifying. I guess this part is the nightmare because she starts getting dizzy, she starts getting woozy, but she's having these visions, and it's it's the front of the um the horse on the carousel, peachy orange color, and it's it's a weird angle. It gives me clockwork orange vibes. Very scary. But she just starts losing it after that. Like she's looking at the fire, she's getting woozy, she snatches that hideous headband off, which was probably 90% of the problem. We squeezing her brain or whatever. Next thing we see is Crystal coming down the stairs. Now I go on and on about how fly Maggie looks on Falcon Crest. Never misses. I can say the same thing about Crystal's gowns. I have yet to see her in anything hideous, but there's a first time for everything. It looks like she has the dress on backwards. There's a scene of her from behind a little later, and she doesn't, but I really do feel like she should turn the dress around. There's a zipper in the back, that's the only thing that would stop it, but it's super low cut. Her and back is out, but the front is quite hideous. Everybody's downstairs mixing and mingling. Dex does accompany Alexis, who looks dope in her red dress. Blake's like, well, after the wedding, you gotta get out. What would Dexter want in your house exactly, Blake? That's what I'm talking about. You got you gotta put bass in your voice at the right time, you need to remove it at the right time. You know what? I'm wrong. I'm wrong about that. This is his daughter's day. So, anyways, Jeff's at the foot of the stairs, Blake's at the foot of the stairs, Crystal in her hideous lilac dresser at the foot of the stairs. Everyone else is piled in, and man, it is standing room only. It is thick in there. You know it's hot. Well, everybody's waiting and waiting and looking up and waiting, and nothing's happening. So Crystal's like, let me go look and see what's up with her. She runs up the stairs. Blake and Jeff decide they're gonna run up after her as well. When they get upstairs, all they see is Fallon's beautiful wedding gown cooled on the floor. She done came up out the gown and snuck out before anybody could tell. How she got herself out, I'm sure I don't know, because it's got the Miss Mary Mack buttons all down her back. She must have slipped out the back way, or maybe they have an elevator or something. These men are so dumb. They're looking around the room like she's hiding behind the curtains, but they start to hear all this beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Fallon ran outside. She's in the car. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, when you have a headache, a migraine specifically. Seems like bright lights and loud noises agitate that. Not in Fallon's case. This is the weirdest part of this whole thing. Maybe it's a dream sequence. Maybe it's why it's called Nightmare. Blake starts running outside. He's the first one outside. So I'm thinking to myself, he might need to try out for the non-broncos, maybe get a check that way and build his way back up to Denver Carrington. Blake runs out to yell at an empty car spot while Jeff gets in his middle sedan and he takes off after Fallon. Okay, is where it gets real messy. So inside, Alexis is talking to Dexter, right? And that the security guy, not security guy, the detective who came over right after Mark. He shows up to the party, wedding, whatever. He walks in from the rain dry as a bone. And he's like, Alexis, can we go somewhere private and talk? She's like, No. He's like, I think you might want to do this privately. We need to go somewhere where we could just, you know, be by ourselves. No. Dude, I'm at my daughter's wedding. Can this wait? Are you serious right now? He's like, Well, it's about Marks Jennings. What about Marks Jennings? Eventually, they walk into Blake's study. She insists that we'll insist on walking in with her. So they go in, and this detective starts feeding her this sort of BS line. She's like, Listen, I am so sick of talking about this man. The detective's like, I had to do some very deep detective work, and I noticed that he had a$100,000 check deposited into his account. Now Dex jumped in. Dex is listen, he don't play about Alexis. That's his woman. He's like, Mark was shady. Ain't no telling where he got that money. Alexis didn't have time to like blink and give him the signal like, no, no, no, but chill, chill, chill. The detective says, Well, I did some research, and it turns out that check was drawn from your account. So I bet he was blackmailing you and you pushed him off the terrace. Dex and I say pretty much the same thing at the same time. This woman is super petite. Mark Jennings was at least six foot two. There is zero chance that she flipped him over anything. I don't care how drunk he was. Dex Dexter thinks the same thing. And they're like, nah, nah, nah. You pushed him off. I don't know how they would have come up to that conclusion. If there was, you know, nothing broken on the terrace. He slipped, he did whatever. It don't matter. Do you know what they locked my they put my girl in handcuffs? Could he clack behind her back? Thank God she looks fabulous. She's gone on at least$250,000 worth of jewels. She got her shoulder out. They want to put her in jail. She's like, Dex, do something. Meanwhile, Fallon is driving like she's in the ND500, crying. She's being so weird. Like this headache thing does not make sense. Seems like you would you would be incapacitated. You wouldn't be focused enough to get into an automobile and operate it. So they're driving in the rain, of course, because this needs to be dramatic and it's the finale. Obviously, there's construction. Obviously, there's a road crew working at the middle of the night doing road work in torrential rain. Well, Fallon manages to get past the road work. Jeff doesn't. He spins on his tires. I'll let him tell you the rest. He leaps out of his car and then because he's so in love. Bear in mind he's doing this in the rain as her car tears off down the road. Lord. They put Alexis and Jen Pop. Can you believe it? They parade her in front of these ladies, put her in the like the drunk tank, and there's all sorts of women in there, they're all grabbing on her. She has on$250,000 worth of jewels. The lady cop don't care. Oh my god. I can't believe they got my girl locked up. So she's screaming at the top of her lungs to be released. We see Fallon just clutching her head. She's doing an awesome job of driving off. Clutching her head, trying to figure out which way is up. Of course, we see a Mac truck. We see her driving towards it rather calmly. And it's like she realizes at the last moment she closes her eyes, she swings a car as far left as she can. End scene. Well, I am downright pleased. I knew I would have a good time. I knew it would be hilarious. I'm not disappointed on any front at all. However, there are a few more holes in the story. So Kirby's allegedly out. Fallon freaked the hell out. I wonder if this is the season where uh the actress was like, I just can't take this anymore. I don't blame her. This season for her was not great. Jeff's out in the pouring rain. Blake is broke, baby. I mean, he's rich broke. He's still throwing a billion-dollar wedding. No biggie, but Samantha Joe is back trying to take custody of that baby so she can get a coin. Now she's hooking up with Adam. I didn't mention that. She's at the wedding with Adam. How uncomfortable for everybody just to sort of bed hop in this house. And we have a brand new mystery woman who is a new Carrington. I can't wait to see how that plays out. Um okay. She could be married to a Carrington. She could be a sibling of a Carrington. She could be from another branch of Carrington. Oh, that'd be though. They have a black branch of Harrington. I don't know. Either way, she keeps bringing up that hotel motel holiday in in Rome. She mentioned Rashida Med, so I don't know. She's rich and she's annoyed that people think she's a reporter. Alright, okay, Dynasty. I'm not mad at that. Not mad at this season at all. Not even mad at the buzzer beater entrances. Alright, guys, that's it. That's all. Join me next time as we jump into the finale of Knott's Landing. Don't know what to expect. I'm very, very ready. In the meantime, in between time, free Alexis. Stay hydrated, stay moisturized. Mind your business and keep all of your drama on TV.
