Dynasty

Previously on Dynasty:

Your father offered me the COO position.

That was mine. With Jeff's backing,

I will be chief strategy officer of Carrington Windbriar.

I've recently started my own company which I am building up on my own.

I thought we were building this together. I need to rethink

if Morell Corp is the company I wanna be part of.

Cristal Carrington sex tape? Is that real?

- Oh, it's real. -You leaked the tape?

Let me be the first to toast Fallon Carrington.

-Oh! -I want you out of this house.

Kori, this is Michael Culhane. He's a friend.

-A single friend? -Kori hates me because I was a bitch.

You're a human bulldozer. You'll crush anyone.

What I did was wrong. Not just my relationship with Matthew,

but continuing the lie after he died.

It was no accident! You killed my husband!

Has Cristal gone to bed?

-She's paying Mrs. Blaisdel a visit. -I have to get over there.

- What are you doing here? -Can I speak with you?

My husband is dead.

You are gonna pay for the pain that you caused.

Carrington Residence.

Oh, that is encouraging, sir.

No, just me and the man-child.

Of course.

I don't know if you can hear me over the sound of your digestive tract.

Be relieved to know Mr. Carrington and your aunt will be home soon.

Claudia Blaisdel is stable.

What a nightmare. I'll light a candle at church.

Cristal say if she was gonna be home in time to take me shopping?

She failed to mention that. I see you've taken my advice to heart.

-Is that a résumé? -In progress.

Bilingual. I suppose you are. I'm not sure about "drug and disease-free."

-You're supposed to add flourishes. -You should add "wizard of lies."

-Not a flourish. -Good morning to you, too.

Supposed to go over grant proposals with Dad.

-Is he still at the hospital? -Home soon.

Wait 30 minutes after eating before you challenge your father.

You might get a cramp.

Or thrown out like your sister.

You told me you weren't going to hate me,

but might wanna tell your face.

There's a hell of a lot of distance between hate and friendship.

You've got some miles to go.

-Well, party's over. -I've been kicked out for less.

No, your protest cost Dad hundreds of millions of dollars,

not to mention legal fees. What I did was a prank.

Kids pull pranks. You weaponized a sex tape of Dad's wife.

-You're lucky they're not suing. -Lucky? I have to live at the Ritz.

Before you get your martyr status verified,

you might wanna remember it wasn't just Cristal you betrayed.

-You're siding with Daddy? -You so were focused on hurting Cristal,

you didn't think about our relationship?

Being out on my own really helped me grow up.

Yet you're at the same company you criticized?

The company takes. The foundation gives.

I've got a chance to course correct our legacy,

but I wouldn't expect you to understand the concept of greater good.

Steven.

Can someone please help me with my bags?

Surprised you came. Didn't think you could spare time from your self-promotion tour.

And I didn't realize you held grudges.

We were just leaving. I'm busy scouting new investments.

Don't you think assets take priority?

That what you think you are to me? Morell Corp feels more like a liability.

Could you excuse us for a minute?

Of course.

I realize that we aren't profitable yet, but we will be very soon.

You keep saying that, but beyond profits, I'm worried about us.

-What do you mean, us? -Exactly.

I'm not sure I should be in business with you at all.

The answer is yes.

Let's talk later, okay? Have LaNique try and fit you in my schedule.

I hope it won't make the launch party awkward.

-What launch party? -To introduce us to the energy community.

Government regulators, partners, international buyers, people we need

-to be in business with. -We?

Did you just come up with this idea?

I've been thinking about it for the last two minutes.

Look, Jeff. This is the only thing going right in my life, okay?

That's why I've taken so much ownership, but I want this for you, too.

I'm committed to you. Just let me prove it.

Last shot.

Thank you.

Last thing, the party is at your house 'cause I got kicked out of mine.

Yeah, it's been over 12 hours. Besides donating a kidney,

I don't think there's anything more we can do.

Maybe give her a friendly face when she wakes up.

You saved her from that Obamacare waiting room nightmare.

-I think we're covered. -Blake, a check isn't enough this time.

-We have to be by Claudia's side. -We need to make sure this woman,

who has proven to be volatile, doesn't sue us for half of Carrington Atlantic,

or put me in jail for attempted vehicular homicide.

Shh.

If the Carringtons are here, this must be my funeral.

You're in a suite at the hospital, Claudia.

-How are you feeling? -Like someone hit me

with 3000 pounds of European metal.

We can get you pain medication. A morphine drip?

No, I can't have morphine. Did they not tell you?

-Oh, Danzette, thank you for coming in. -Well, any friend of yours.

Uh, we should be able to get you out by this afternoon.

-Wait, that seems so fast. -Her, uh, injuries are minor.

Bone bruises will take a while to heal, but, uh, most importantly, baby's fine.

-Baby? -She's pregnant?

-Why didn't you tell us? -With Matthew's death, I wasn't rushing

-to put out birth announcements. -I'll get the discharge papers started.

You have someone to drive you home?

-We'll take her home to the manor. -What?

-No, she has help. -Not the same

as a house full of people to care for her. Just until you recuperate.

Our histories aside, you have someone else to think about now. It's settled.

You're staying with us.

Anything ours is yours, and whatever else you may need,

these are the people that can get it.

-I don't think this is a good idea. -Nonsense. Put her in the east wing.

We'll be right down the hall.

This way, Ms. Blaisdel.

-Burn this. - Anders.

We can find her another sweater, dip it in oatmeal.

Quite an array of strays you're collecting.

The responsible thing would be to spay and neuter them.

-Anders, Claudia is pregnant. -Oh, God.

I hope she doesn't stay till the birth. I am long past my diapering days.

I'm with Claudia. This was a terrible idea.

Yeah. You've only mentioned it five times now.

I thought we had closed the door on all things Matthew and Claudia

-so we could move on. -Then you ran her over.

Claudia is pregnant. Does that mean nothing to you?

Not unless it's mine.

I'm just concerned this woman is unwell.

-A liability. -More reason why we look after her.

Have you considered why she would agree to move in?

If it were me, I'd be looking for dirt I could use against us.

That's because you're enterprising. Claudia is alone. We owe her.

-I want to do this. -Well, I don't know how you can.

I can't spare my COO to become a full-time caregiver.

I am a modern woman, Blake.

I can handle it all.

Your office is coming together. Only you would plan a party

in 24 hours just to prove a point.

It's a launch party. It's supposed to be fast.

-Why are you doing it? -Give the company attention,

-to woo new clients. -Mm-hm.

-Why are you always "mm-hm'ing" me? -Strange coincidence

that you flake out on my brother.

Then Kori hooks up with this driver, who you are not having sex with,

and suddenly you're refocused on Jeff.

-You go where the attention is. -That's so off.

Mm-hm.

-You gonna help me plan this or no? -Okay.

Where's Caroline Corpuz?

And Marc Hidoko? Or any of Jeff's contacts?

I need to control the vibe, introduce him to bigwigs.

Jeff took losses in the startup space, which makes his former clients losers.

And you could be one of them.

Plus this is tech. Losers turn into winners with one idea.

Fine. I'll invite Jeff's contacts.

See? You can be a team player. Next week, we'll work on tact.

Mm-hm.

You might wanna be sober for this one.

I see Haitian wells and carbon eaters. Where are my conservative charities?

I wanna take the foundation in a new direction. Left.

Why am I not surprised?

We were already doing a lot of good,

but you couldn't see that

through the fake news swirling around your liberal bubble.

Nothing fake about homelessness, uh, climate change, police brutality.

There's no cure for laziness, propaganda and ignorance.

That may be the worst thing I've heard you say.

I don't know what kind of monster you think I am. Maybe I do.

The foundation was growing while you were on your socialist Rumspringa.

Just because I was out in the world doesn't mean I was playing games.

And there's no reason for you to start now.

If your charities do all this great work, pitch them to me.

Be their advocate.

Let's hear all about where your money goes, if you even know.

I've been in sales the past 30 years.

I've been managing this charity since before you were born.

You wanna challenge me on both? I'll show you I'm right.

-Are you gonna make me a diorama? -No, I'm gonna let you see

how these charities work, then you can judge.

Hi.

There you are.

I called in, had them clear my schedule so I could show you around.

Great. You can give me a tour of the Ming dynasty.

Are these urns filled with other people that Blake has run over?

So, what can I show you? It took me a while to get my bearings here.

I got lost in the wine cellar and ended up on the shooting range.

Champagne problems, I guess.

Mine are a lot less complicated.

And I'm here because it makes sense for my recovery,

not to make you feel better.

- -Oh, hi, Bo.

Hi.

I wasn't really a dog person before, but Bo has stolen my heart.

He follows me everywhere.

Must be nice to have a dog you don't have to clean up after.

I'm sure you have people for that, with your army of staff.
