Grief hits like a spotlight, and then the mask slips. We open on the shock of Fallon’s “death,” an official story sealed by a charred ring and a tidy report that no one seems able—or willing—to fully believe. Tears come in strange shapes: Alexis collapses in fury and need, Blake stiffens into control, and Jeff can’t hold the line. At the graveside, the polite script vaporizes as he detonates, calling out a lifetime of being benched. It’s messy, honest, and the most human moment of the hour. From there the power games tighten. Steven meets Sammy Jo at a linoleum table where hunger becomes leverage and a price tag—thirty thousand a month—turns custody into commerce. The negotiation spirals into threats, and the old-school slam of a dial tone lands harder than any speech. Then Adam acts. His midnight “rescue” of baby Danny is as chilling as it is effective, a reminder that on Dynasty, morality often rides shotgun to loyalty. Back at the mansion, Krystal does what Blake refuses: she cuts the staff so people can move on. Suddenly the house feels truly broke—less about missing money, more about missing certainty. And just when the dust should settle, Dominique Devereaux glides in. Fur, poise, and a voice that makes the room listen. Her claim—shared blood with Blake—reshapes the family map and introduces a new axis of power, elegance, and ambition. She’s not asking to be let in; she’s reminding us she belongs. By the end, we’re left with delicious questions: Is Fallon gone for good? Who really controls baby Danny’s future? What happens when money, identity, and grief collide in one living room? Hit play to hear the full breakdown, sharp commentary, and the scene-by-scene turns that make “The Rescue” a watershed hour. If you’re into messy eulogies, high-stakes custody, and iconic arrivals, this one’s for you. If you enjoyed the episode, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves prime-time chaos, and leave a review telling us where you stand—team Carrington or team Devereaux?

SPEAKER_00:

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome or welcome back to Soap Lore, the official gallery 24 new weeks, novices, and LG Down to the Golden Age of Primetime. I'm your host, Beth, Mm. So we'll still be a Primetime Storyline of 1984. So what do you need with this or get on board? No quite open time. Oh, we're going up. Well, we are jumping on to another fantastic episode of D. Season 5, episode 4, The Rescue. Hopefully, this gets me off of probation. This this tracks, I feel like it's fine. I was already ready to watch episode 4 of season 5, and this takes a cake. Full confession, I am watching this 100% blind. I don't know anything about it other than the name. And we're gonna go ahead and jump in. So go ahead and grab yourself something bubbly and bright. I will do this in 15-minute increments, Lord willing. Season five, episode four, Dynasty, The Rescue. I suppose I should give my opinions before the rescue sounds like you are helping someone from something. So that is either someone rescuing Blake from his financial woes, someone is rescuing Fallon from whatever. I mean, she ran away. So is that really a rescue? It's more of a capture, or it is a rescue of baby Danny. Seems like by episode four, Dynasty likes to go ahead and wrap things up. So we'll see what happens here. My money's on Danny. Second guest would be Fallon, third and final guest would be Blake. Four minutes into the episode, we get right into the Fallon fiasco or the Fallon mystery. Depends on who you are. Jeff and Blake are in Seattle, I'm assuming, at the police station, piecing together the bits and pieces of Fallon's demise. Allegedly, Fallon died in a plane crash. So cop number one says, listen, we 100% identified the guy flying the plane. It is a guy who was recently released from prison on a cocaine charge named Peter De Filibuster. Damn it! Why who I okay. This makes so much more sense to me why Peter De Filibuster was very confident in packing a 10-pound bag of cocaina in his satchel along with a nudie magazine. He needed to be entertained on this flight, especially if it's commercial, right? It wasn't even private. Peter Defilibuster, Cokehead, flew into the side of a plane, a mountain or something, and he had a broad with him. Now Blake's thinking he had a broad with him, not my daughter broad. Jeff is like, well, if she was crazy, if she had lost her mind a little bit, brother Leo said that she left the retreat with another person. Blake and Jeff were going back and forth when Lieutenant Dan or whatever his name is comes back into the room. He's like, oh, here, here's this piece of hardware, here's a little bit of jewelry that was charred in the accident. Do you recognize it immediately? Jeff recognizes it as a ring he gave Fallon for their engagement. It's a rap. It's a rap, but it's not a rap. Now, here's the thing. I've been very blessed over the last four years to not really get big information. I do know they recast Fallon at some point. So I am to believe this very vague explosion doesn't mean it's her demise. She could have very well had the ring stolen. She could have met up with Peter at another point. I am banking on the fact she's not dead yet. Or maybe the person who told me she's recast was just being kind. I don't know. I don't believe it. That's all I'm saying. And it quiet is kept. Blake and Jeff are having a real, real hard time squeezing out any tears over this alleged death of Fallon, the Carrington, the Colby, the Colby. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, are you freaking kidding me? Uh, this is devastating. 14 minutes into the program, and now I'm crying. What happened? What happened to me? I'm an emotional gangster. Well, Jeff determines that there's no there's no argument here. Fallon is dead. So it trickles down to the rest of the family. Now, Claudia and Crystal are sitting at breakfast. Oh, and here we go with the dynasty revisionist history. Claudia tells Crystal, My Lindsay once told me that she wanted to be as beautiful and as special as Fallon Colby. Fallon Carrington. Girl, no, she didn't. Ain't no way in hell. If she thought No, no, no. Actually, what she has said was, she said, Will I be as beautiful as Fallon? Yes, as long as you don't get a mullet perm. Stop. You mean to tell me the daughter of the man who was banging the wife of the millionaire billionaire playboy wanted to be like the millionaire billionaire playboy's daughter? Shut up, Dynasty. Ain't nobody worried about Fallon. Ain't nobody checking for Fallon like that. But apparently people are sad that she is deceased. It's not funny. Adam knows, Jeff knows, Steven knows he's in the attic. She was my best friend. She was so good. She hated everything. She called all of my toys stupid, stupid truck, stupid horse, stupid train set. She was the best sister ever. Adam's a weirdo. Facts. But then we get to Alexis, who has been locked up, won't let her out. She's in a detention center, being defiant as possible, brought into a room with Blake Carrington and a McGruff crime dog jacket. And he says, Alexis, unfortunately, Fallon has been killed in a plane accident. She breaks down and I break down. I ain't got time for this today. I had no intention. I'm so glad all I'm wearing is Vaseline on my face. Because otherwise I'd be pissed off. Alexis breaks down and I can't hardly take it. It sucks. Give it 2.2 seconds and then it's funny again. Thank you, Jesus. She's so busy. You killed, you stole my children. You stole my children. You've killed my baby. She's beating on his chest, and you know, he's a strong, strapping geriatric man. He can take it. He can take the blows of a billionaire playgirl. You killed my baby. And then she wraps herself in his arms for a warm embrace. Not wrong, not right, but I I'm sorry to laugh at Shaw's loss. I'm very I'm very sorry for your loss. The mansion is, of course, flooded with mourners. We are so sorry for your loss, Play. We're so sorry for your loss, Crystal. One of the oddest mourners is Marsha, one of the house staff, who says, Oh, Blake, it means the world to me that you kept me on staff. Baby, what are you talking about? Or why were you talking about money when there's a whole crispy corpse that we need to figure out who it is? What are you talking about, Marsha? I think Marcia is Blake's original side piece. I can't prove it, but I know she is. I don't even care if they don't ever acknowledge it. I know for a fact you're not gonna tell me this man kicked out of Alexis Carrington out of the mansion, and for 10 plus years he did absolutely nothing. He's definitely banging the house staff. The audience is supposed to believe that Blake is a sultruistic, beautiful man who just doesn't want to see his house staff go hungry, so he's going to keep him on staff, despite the fact that Denver Carrington has gone kerplunk. We don't get to dive into that very deeply because the phone rings and it is Billy Wade from down in South America, Caracas specifically. He says, I'm so sorry about the baby girl. Dad gum, but also I'm not gonna be in business with you. Blake is appalled, not by the fact that his daughter is gone, but how dare you, Billy Wade? You the money I asked you for, that billion or million, whatever, 50 million is peanuts to you. I can't believe you have the balls to tell me no. Billy's like, what can I tell you? My money just ain't my money's kind of funny right now. I can't do it. Blake says, Will you tell me, Billy Wade? What did Alexis Garrington Goldby tell you that made you slither under a rock like a little weirdo? Billy Wade said, Oh, oh, oh, dang it, Blake.

unknown:

Bring, bring, bring.

SPEAKER_00:

That's my other phone. I gotta go. Bye. Dang it, Dynasty. I was not prepared for this today. I came here to cackle. I didn't came here to cry. I didn't came here. I did not come here to cry. Baby Blake suddenly has full autonomy. He is able to leave the nursery at will. He is sitting at the top of the stairs when Jeffrey Colby arrives home. And the baby gives this whole soliloquy about his dead puppy. Daddy, do you remember when my puppy died and you told me it went to heaven? Yes, baby, I remember. Do you think my mommy's gonna visit my puppy? Now, why would you do that? Why would you do that? I was having a fine day. Not the baby. Oh, I'm devastated. Not because she's dead. I'm de I really don't care about that part. I'm sad that everybody else is sad. Dex comes to visit Alexis in the clink and she begs, she begs him, please, my darling, please. My baby girl is deceased. I need to get to this funeral. Please get me out of here. He's insists there's nothing he can do. But as she cries and she flips her little bit of hair around, he is inspired to do whatever is needed, and she is released from prison. Jail, pardon me, not prison. He did tell her that girl, now why did you think you could travel internationally? She's like, I'm my bad. My bad. That's my bad. I didn't, I heard the international part. I had no intention of doing anything internationally. Luckily, though, she is released from McClink in time to visit Fallon at her very last appearance on the show, allegedly. Fallon's funeral is is intimate, it is quiet, and it is quite sad. The whole family gathers around. We got Crystal, we got Blake, Steven, and Claudia the Stallion, Jeff Colby, and Blake, Jeffrey Colby, who is a full-on walking four-year-old. And the priest has a really good job. He goes around and says, you know, this is a daughter of Colorado, child of Blake Carrington, and Alexis Carrington Colby. She is the betrothed to Jeffrey Colby twice. Mother of Blake Jeffrey Colby, stepdaughter of Crystal Blah Blasey Carrington. She's beloved, and we miss her and blase blase. So they they kind of go around the room or the the excuse me, the gravesite, and you see Steven trying his very best to squeeze out a tear, and he's like, She didn't leave me anything in the will. Adam was like, Oh my god, can't believe almost banged my sister, but didn't. His first impression of her is like, God, I want to bang her, but they turn out to be siblings. Blake is fighting for his life to squeeze out one single tear. Like she was, she's the child who had the most potential. It's a shame. Gristle's eyes look watery. Claudia seems to be in tears for a minute, but then it's like she pats her eyes dry and she's like, damn, wait a minute. Now she did. My last name is Carrington. Now, do I did I just inherit La Mirage? Ching. And it in one last act of service to Fallon, Carrington, Colby, almost Colby twice. Stephen removes a beautiful arrangement on her casket, sets it aside, and by this point, Jeff Jeff Colby has a moment. Now, in his case, the side piece is deceased. Peter Defilibuster has finally flatlined. And Jeff has to wrestle with the fact that he has not only been second, he's been third, fourth, and fifth fiddle compared to every other man in Falon's life. And it's just all he can take. As a casket starts to lower into the ground, daughter of the earth, daughter of Colorado BS gets to him. You bitch, he says. Oh my god, he loses his mind. He loses his mind a little bit. I'm like, Jeff, warranted. Is he not? I hear no lies. He don't give a damn that baby Blake is there. Matter of fact, it's probably a little bit offensive to him that his son has his father-in-law's first name and his name as a second name. Blake runs over to Jeff and's like, Jeff, I understand you gotta remember my daughter was a good girl. It's just she's had a moment. She was sick, Jeff. She was sick. Can't you just forgive her this one time when we put her on the ground without you cussing her out in front of her son? Her son is very much used to this. Matter of fact, I think baby Blake handles this the best of everybody. He has stuffed a little daisy in his lapel. He pulls it out and he drops it quite dramatically on his mother's grave as his father is wrestling the word Biach off of his lips. I'm glad this moment happened because I was a little bit sad, it was a little bit downtrodden. Him cussing her out at her final resting place is icing on the cake. Well done, Dynasty. You know that old saying, you can't take some people anywhere. Samantha Josephine Carrington is the definition of that. She and Steven finally meet in some dive bar. Actually, it's not a dive bar, it's a diner in LA. And Baby Girl orders everything on the menu, hinting at the fact that she might be a street crawler at this point. She's probably not living in some sort of stability. But she won't even begin the conversations concerning her son until she is properly catched up and mayonnaise and mustard, all of the uh accoutrements she needs in order to have a successful conversation. So she's she's slathering up the salami. Stephen's like, Where's the baby? The baby is with some friends of mine. Don't bother looking for him, you ain't gonna see him till I get what I want. Stephen says, What do you want? 30, Thou Wow homeboy a month for the rest of my natural-born life. I'll sign whatever you want after that. Now, Stephen says, Now, where in the hee-haw hell does your country behind think I'm going to get$30,000 a month just to keep things crystal clear?$30,000 in 1984 is the equivalent of around$93,000 between$93,000 and$97,000 in 2025. That is uh a full Toyota Corolla a month. That is about five to six months rent in a really swanky place in a major metropolitan area. That's a lot of money in 1984. I mean, that is baby. That's a brand new four to five to six bedroom house every month, depending on where you live. Sammy Joe wants all the money. Steven's like, girl, where am I gonna get that? Sammy Joe says, I know your father's broke, but your mother's not. And she hates me. She's already cut a check before. Make sure it happens again. Stephen's like, fine, I'll do that. I'll get a contract drawn up, and I don't want to see you ever again. She's like, that's cute. Oh, oh, Steven, loan me$20, or I'm gonna show my entire behind in this restaurant. I'm gonna make a full-on scene. As if eating every item from the menu is not already making a scene. For the record,$20 is around$62 today. I'm so jealous of the fact. I thought to myself, there's no way$20 is gonna cover that. Yeah, it would have. It definitely would have. I used to have entire weekends. I'm talking Friday, Saturday, all day Sunday on$20 and lived a pretty I mean, granted, I was a child, but you could do some damage with that now, baby. She wouldn't have got more than a glass of water, half of a salad, and half of a sandwich, maybe for$20.

unknown:

It's quite depressing.

SPEAKER_00:

Steven says, pull a stunt. I'm not giving you$20 and$30,000. You can kiss my entire ass. What you can do though is get your life together because if my baby comes back harmed in any way, I'll kill you dead, Sammy Joe. I'll kill you and your salami sandwich dead. Dynasty, I forgive you. I hate you. I hate you so much right now. Not me crying at the beginning of the show, fully expecting camp and fun, only to have it be completely redeemed in a way I did not see coming. So Steven tells Sammy Joe to kiss all 20 inches of his narrow behind, because you ain't gonna get$20 from me. You won't eat the salami and figure out how to pay for it. Unbeknownst to Steven at the Stefano restaurant, he drives off at my grandma's Lincoln. Adam is parked across the street, chilling in the cut. He waits till the darkness hits. He decides to scale the balcony or probably just went up the steps of this hotel motel. Looks like a travel lodge in. Great hotel, by the way. And um, he's gonna do a little B and E. He breaks into Mantha Joe's room. Baby Danny is peacefully sleeping, as is his hood red mother. Adam goes over to the crib and he's like, hey nephew, you're going home. He goes to pick up the baby. Sammy Joe wakes up and she sees him. She's startled for like half a second, and then she's like, Oh my god, Adam, hi baby. He's like, Hey, yeah. I got disappointed. I'm like, damn it, Adam, kidnap the kid. I have never shouted that in my life. Stay focused, Adam. You have a mission. Adam is not, listen, he's not deterred. I played myself. Adam didn't play himself. So he goes over to Samantha, they kissy, kissy boo-boo face. He reaches over, he finds a loose leaf scarf, he decides to s to tape it around her mouth. Shut up. Shut up, you wench. Then he fastens her hands, then he fastens her feet. It is a little hard to not picture him doing the same thing to Corbithius. Adam has rape tendencies. We can't get around that. I'm sorry. I am not celebrating that part of him. However, I am saying the same part of Hip's mind that omits the logic is beneficial in a kidnapping. Once Samantha is secured and on her belly, hog tied practically, Adam casually walks over to the crib where baby Danny has been fighting sleep. He was peacefully sleeping, his mom was making a lot of noise and he's stirring a little bit. Uncle Adam says, Hey bro, hey potty, you're going home. He picks up the baby and he walks out of the room. Shout out to Adam. Shout out to Adam. Well, apparently Adam flies back home to the mansion without a Hitch, baby Danny is quite easy to travel with, which doesn't surprise me considering he's been kidnapped. Quick aside, how traumatized are these children? I've been thinking about this over the last couple of days, and I think I want to see a series where we see John Ross Ewing III grown up, baby Joseph grown up, baby Danny grown up. These kids have been snatched up more times than a little bit.

unknown:

Huh?

SPEAKER_00:

They are millennials, there's no doubt. They would probably be around 44 years old, um, relatively young, you know what I'm saying? Probably on edibles. I I would love to see what their life is. Their trust issues, are they reclusives? Did they celebrate the fact that 2020 happened? I feel like they would be. They can't trust anybody in their circle. Oh, can we talk about tokens for a moment? I'm gonna go there. Here I am minding my black business, watching this fantastic program. And I see a woman whose name escapes me, but I swear to you, I have never not seen her outside of the same either blue uniform because she's somebody's maid, or she's in a blue or yellow dress similar to this maid dress, and she's a mean old black lady. Every time hire you a mean old black lady in 1983 or 84, and and you're still a mean old black lady in 2020, whatever. I don't even know if she's still alive, but this is the same woman, ladies and gentlemen. If you've ever seen Tina Turner's iconic film, What's Love Got to Do with It? By the way, do y'all know she was traumatized watching that? I watched her entire documentary. She was able to tell the story on paper because they did it in increments. It wasn't every day, it was once every month or so. Once they put it all together and then turned it into a film, when she saw it on film, she reclused a little bit. It was overly traumatic, which makes a hundred percent sense. Devastating. I can't hardly watch that film the same anymore. Anyway, do y'all remember at the beginning of the film there was the choir director who did not want her to sing this little light of mine, which was the swag that she had. So she ends up kicking the baby out of Sunday school. Same woman, Dominique Debereaux pulls up in her camel colored with her fur line. I mean, she's rich, she's fabulous, and they got the little black children sprinkled about. Oh man, who they why y'all always do us like that? You cannot tell she is a wealthy black lady. You think there aren't wealthy black people around? Let me be quiet and see what she has to say. It just irritates me when you when you introduce people of color or if you introduce a gay character, you always gotta sprinkle them with the stereotype. Can we just let her be? Let me see what she's gonna say. Okay, I'll let it play out a little more. I will let bygones be bygones. Let me just state the record. I don't speak for all for all people, but I will say this: when you introduce people into a story who do not look like other people, it is not always necessary to give them the stereotypical background. Sometimes it is, if that's her story, that's her story. But it is lazy writing, which I saw for many, many moons, before people started to realize okay, there's different experiences in life, and the more authentic you can make it very authentic by without adding a stereotype so that middle America can swallow it down. You know what I'm saying? So Dominique Deboreau seems to be either a made-up name or or maybe that's her middle name, not quite sure. Millie Cox. Millie Cox Aunt Betty did not recognize her because she's so fancy now. I don't know no bougie ladies, Aunt Betty says. But Miss Millie Cox, aka Dominique Debure, says, look a little closer. What is the most beautiful word in the English language? I I am not terribly sad to admit this, but my first thought was love, my second thought was money, and I was like, money. And I thought, no, that wouldn't say that on TV. Love. Do you know the most beautiful word in the English language is lullaby. I would think alibi would be a little bit sweeter of a word, but that's just me personally. Aunt Betty and Miss Millie in her new fur embrace, oh my god, baby, I didn't recognize you. You're not this scrawny little weirdo kid anymore. You look good, baby. I know a black auntie. She would be like, baby, you you a little skinny. You look good. Where you been, girl? You don't call, you don't write. What's going on with you? And just when I give Dynasty a pass, they make me Aunt Bessie say, Oh, I can't believe you that skinny little girl who used to run up and down the steps and say, Aunt Bessie, you got any chucking? Can any fried chicken for me? Okay, then we come on now. Okay, fried chicken is delicious, but come on down. You're not gonna play in my face, Dynasty. Dynasty better do right by me. Dominique, aka Millie, asks about her mother's trunk. Aunt Bessie's like, Bet is definitely still in the house. Now, I did enjoy this very brief scene because in the background there are these shelves and there's all these canning things, canned vegetables, canned eggs, pickled pig feet. Probably I didn't see pig feet. I definitely saw eggs and stuff, and it just warmed the country girl heart in me. That's some good eating. I have two to three jars of pickled okra in my kitchen as we speak. You can't shake some of these things. Now, do I have any business with that? Probably not, but these are the people I come from. Dominique is flipping through her mother's trunk, and it is filled with, you know, velveteen rabbits, some clothing, and several pictures. We see a sepia-colored picture of a baddie, a black baddie from 1940-ish. Gorgeous woman reminds me of photos I've seen in my own family. Dominique smiles and moves on. Now, very quickly, baby Danny is back at the mansion, only he's not eating. He's kind of fussy. It looks like he has Kool-Aid andor bourbon in his plastic bottle. Shout out to the millennials. Steven is concerned. Why isn't he eating? He's being very picky. He's probably on that Cheeto and Sprite diet. Some mothers just didn't give a damn. Sammy Joe strikes me as a kind to feed her baby copious amounts of ketchup, Cheetos, and whatever uh Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, whatever was available at the time, went into that plastic bottle. That baby is fine. He's not used to rich, fancy food no more. He he wants that junk. Run down the street, get him a little McDonald's, he's gonna be fine. After downing about three bottles of beer, Sammy Joe works up the nerve to call to cuss Steven out. Stephen picks up the phone. Hello. Hey, Sammy Joe. You act like you were waiting on my call. I can't wait to get my baby back. That's not even gonna be your mansion very long. Your daddy's a broke boy. Forgetting that his mother's not a broke boy. If she takes over that mansion, daddy ain't going nowhere. You hear me? She done care. She just wants him to know Adam ain't ish, your daddy ain't ish, you definitely ain't ish. Before she can get too deep into her soliloquy, Steven gives her the soundtrack of everyone who is burdened and heavy laden with other people's voices. The old-fashioned dial tone. I kind of miss that, don't you? You can hang up on someone with a cell phone and they think the call just dropped. Hell, now you can't even slam anything down. I miss the days where you could slam a phone down and hear a dial tone. You knew the conversation was over through that song. Shout out to that soundtrack. But that's neither here nor there. Crystal Carrington needs to drop the dial tone too. On some people's employment, she don't want to do it, but she's gotta do it. So she lines up the house staff and says, you know, guys, three seasons ago, four seasons ago, pardon me, you all were kind to me when Joseph wasn't around and you helped me become the uppity, bougie, stuck up, wealthy woman I am today. And I'm going to repay you by terminating all of your jobs. Don't get it twisted. I've been a broke boy myself before. I'm going to give you one month's salary so that you can move on with your life. Please go home. You ain't gotta go home, but you gotta get out of here. Maybe we can hire you back, maybe we can't. Blake's broke boy billionaire mind can't wrap his mind around why Crystal would fire people. He can't pay. Crystal, I want them to linger on in poverty. What the heck? You let them go so they can go collect unemployment so they could find gainful employment? What is wrong with you? She said, I thought you said I'd run things. You said the Mrs. Carrington runs the house. I was just running the house. I did what I had to do. I kept Mrs. Vicky, I kept a couple people, but he don't want to hear it. He storms off into his study. Now, while he's in there sulking with the briefcase, which is absolutely filled with absolutely nothing, in comes new major domo, whose name escapes me. He's a Gerard or something like that. He says, Blake, there's a Miss Dominique Devereaux here to see you. Oh my god. Send her away. I'm not taking any guess right now. I understand, sir, but she wants to pay her respects. Blake suddenly remembers he has a dead kid. He's like, oh yeah, okay, right, right, right. Talent's it. My bad. I'm sorry. Um, yeah. Go ahead and send her in. Mrs. Devereaux, aka Millie Cox, Dominique Devereux is definitely a better name, comes strutting in with the finest fur money goodbye. Blake, I'm here to pay my respects. I feel like we both lost something. Thank you. What do you mean, lost something? Oh, you know, I'm just saying I've been through things myself. I've lost things. What do you mean? Well, Blake, she's beating around the bush a little too much for me personally, and Blake is completely obtuse. He's not pretending to be, he really is obtuse. Dominique with the little D says, We just share so much in common. Blake again, like, um, who is okay, who is this woman? Like what? Well, like our blood. Blake stares blankly. Our blood. Yes. Our blood. Our daddy. Dun dun dun. No doubt. Blake is like, oh my god, I'm black. Sure, Blake. Sure. I like that. Let's let's let's plot twist this. Blake is a brother. Allegedly. I don't really know. I mean, uh, okay, it makes sense to me. I saw Dominique's mom. Okay, it makes more sense to me too, because if Blake was ever telling the truth at some point, he came from nothing and built something. He did not inherit the Carrington fortune, he created it. Now, if his daddy wasn't wealthy, that makes sense. But Miss Deborah Rowe became wealthy. So they clearly have the uh the entrepreneurial gene in their system. I don't know was really what, but okay. I actually kind of thought she was gonna be um what's what's her name? I thought she was gonna be Alexis's sister for some reason. They seem like the same kind of lady to me, way more than Blake, but we will find out what happened. He's he looks, I don't know. He looks shell-shocked. He didn't know if he's black. I feel like Blake would be the tour of person to totally exploit that, completely misrepresent the black experience through his BS struggles. Not, dude, you suck at being you. I I can't wait to see how this turns out, though. All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's it. That's all. Thank you so much for joining me this episode. Did we say goodbye to Fallon for good? Nothing in my body tells me that that's true. But I am waiting to see how they resurrect her. Shout out to the actress who said, you know what, I got better teens to do. Join me next time as we jump back into some soap opera debauchery. I'm gonna tell you right now, I've already watched Knott's Landing. We gotta talk about that in media training. In the meantime, in between time, go ahead and cry. Four tears were shed this whole episode over Fallon's death. Releasing those tears releases the emotions. It is a perfectly healthy part of the human experience. Don't be afraid to shed a tear. Also, don't be afraid to laugh at a Vengeance Primetime soap opera when they snatch up a baby. That's not funny, IRL. It is funny in Ventures Prime Time. Stay hydrated, stay moisturized, mind your own business, and keep all of your drama on TV.
