Dynasty

Previously onDynasty...Matthew, I can't stand it

when you stay away so long.

Told you I have to be careful.

It's time we get you out of here.

You have an older brother.Long-lost what now?

You might be even more shocked to know that

I have a daughter. Her name's Kirby.

And what if someone caught us?

I'm not about to blow our billion-dollar plan.

So our mom is...Blake's sister.

It's up to you what you want to do with it.

Thomas Carrington's will left equal shares

of Carrington Atlantic to his grandchildren.

My father is no longer fit to run this company.

It's your job as Carrington Atlantic's board

to make a change.

Well, you want out of this marriage?

You're not going anywhere.You don't own me.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!

I think I'm finally getting into golf.

You know what they say.

The couple that plays together

stays together.

And you wanted to stay together, didn't you?

Oh, more than anything.Hmm.

Took me a little longer to get dressed this morning than usual.

Most of my suits have been shredded to bits.

Oh, no. Yeah.

I hope we don't have moths.

Oh, only one. But just know this.

If this toxic behavior is your little way

of forcing me to let you go,

I never will.

I love you too much.

Celia Machado.

What time is it?

Time for you to get going.

The last thing we need is

for Blake to find his long-lost son in Mommy's bed.

Especially after everything is finally

about to come to fruition.

Is that French?

Mon cher.

It means soon you'll get your money,

and you can be on your merry way.

But for now, you keep sitting pretty.

And don't forget your finger.

I'd say go with the silver, and add tarnish.

We're going for rustic chic, so...

Nothing's chic about getting married in a barn.

The barn's the rustic. I'm the chic.

Just surrender, Anders.

I've been trying to be a lot more patient with him,

given what I learned last week.

Did you know that Anders has a daughter?

Oh. You mean Kirby?

Well, that was anticlimactic.

She lived with us. She was...

I'm not gonna say she was a psychopath, but...

Wait. What?

She mutilated all of Fallon's Barbies.

Like, cut off their hair?Their heads.

And then threw them into the fireplace.

The smell of burning plastic still reminds me of Christmas.

She stole from Dad, she terrorized my mother.

Wait. Anders didn't mention any of this?

If he had, I wouldn't have invited her to the wedding.

Oh, my God. Does Anders know?

Do I know what?

That you bought 25 antique spittoons for centerpieces?

Carrington Atlantic isn't just a family business.

It's a company.

It's a growth engine for the city of Atlanta.

What are you doing here?

I brought you something for good luck.

What is it?

It's my father's ashes.

To keep on your desk and to remind you every day

of what you're here to do.

I'm just kidding.

It's a candle.

Thank you.

Are you ready to become the new CEO of Carrington Atlantic?

There's nothing I've ever wanted more.

Well, almost nothing.

I was thinking,

if the board promotes me, I'm gonna rehire you.

How does VP of Community Outreach sound?

Sounds like it's not for me.

I get it. Want to play hardball with the boss.

Fine. President of Community Outreach.

Fallon, I never wanted a career at C.A.

This was just about doing right by my father.

Navy or black?

He's here.

Go get it.

Well, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

No one told me there was a meeting.

It was a bit of an emergency.

Well, does anyone care to tell me what this is about?

The executive members are here to discuss the future

of Carrington Atlantic's CEO.

Or lack thereof. Firing an employee for being

a so-called whistle-blower,

mishandling the Clarke County crisis,

and then trying to cover it up by buying off the victims?

But that was your...

Regardless. Time's up, Daddy.

This is absurd.

I'm chairman of the board.

And you're listening to a child who's been COO for a week.

And the board will decide what's in the best interests

of the shareholders.

Fallon?

Many family companies are lost in three generations--

moneymaker, caretaker, undertaker.

As the fourth generation, I refuse to stand by

and watch my father bury my legacy.

Carrington Atlantic is not just a family business.

It is a dynasty.

Time for your morning meds, Blaisdel.

Ah. You're almost done with your baby carrier, huh?

Yeah.Just goes to show you,

with a little persistence, you can accomplish anything.

At least that's what my grandmother always told me.

: Oh! Oh, no. Aah!

Yeah. Nice try.

You're still gonna have to take your meds.

I think my water just broke.

Oh. Uh...

Okay, uh... Hey, hey, hey, it's okay.

No, it isn't. The baby isn't supposed to come this soon.

Hey, hey, I'm here.

Why would I want you here?!

A baby is about to rip itself out of my body!

Get me a real doctor! Go!

Now! Hey, hey, hey, you just hang tight.

Go!I'll-I'll be right back.

Help me!

Good timing, Doctor.

Let's get my baby out of here.

The board of directors of Carrington Atlantic

has concluded it's in the best interests of this company

to shift attention to a more forward-thinking narrative.

You can't be serious.

Blake, you can continue

as chairman of the board until a replacement is named.

Fallon, congratulations.

You're the first female CEO in company history.

I thought I heard the sound of glass breaking.

How could you do this?

After everything I've done for you, you ingrate!

I'm just doing what's best for the family.

Isn't that what you always say?

Your father left controlling interest to me and Steven

because he knew your days were numbered.

Grandpa always did know best.

Oh, that's debatable.

What the hell are you doing here?

Settling your debt.

Still on the juice, Jeff?

Hard to tell when you're not staggering

like a geriatric toddler.

No. Come on, Fallon.

That's no way to talk to family.

That's right.

We're Carringtons, and we're here for what's ours.

If Thomas left that trust for his grandchildren,

then my sister and I are entitled to shares.

I know this must be a painful reckoning

for you, Blake, but you had it coming.

Your family's been living the good life for decades

while our deadbeat grandpa let my parents

struggle to put food on our table.

And your father was no better.

I-I didn't have a choice.

Your silence was a choice.

Once we're added to the trust, we can liquidate this company,

get our money, and bury the Carrington name

once and for all.

Our lawyers will be in touch.
