When Alexis returns to Denver, the rivalry between Cecil and Blake becomes more personal. Cecil, the bastion of old money, is now determined to destroy Blake, the nouveau riche. Blake had taken Alexis from Cecil before but he won’t this time. Unfortunately for Cecil, Alexis still loves Blake and wants Blake back. Cecil is no fool and realizes it, but that does not stop him from pursuing Alexis.
Near the end of Season 2, Blake learns the truth about Krystle’s riding accident and miscarriage and commands Alexis off the property. Alexis, realizing she is screwed, agrees to marry Cecil right away. Together, the two will destroy Blake. Cecil also realizes that he does not have much time and his heir apparent, Jeff, hates him.
Not a great way to start an engagement.
To celebrate the upcoming nuptials, the two make love. During sex, Cecil, suffers a heart attack. Will Cecil survive? He does not look good in the hospital. But, if Cecil does not recover, what about the plans to destroy Blake. Fortunately for Alexis, Cecil recovers enough to speak to his lawyer and to have a wedding in his hospital bed - against medical advice.
Not looking good for Cecil
Cecil is able to go through the ceremony. But there will be no honeymoon, Cecil starts talking about Blake. He knows Alexis still loves him and the anger triggers another heart attack. A heart attack that Cecil does not survive. There is still the drama of the reading of the will. Since Alexis did not provide Cecil an heir, Alexis receives half of Colby Co and Jeff the other half.
At least Cecil made it for the wedding.
Alexis is on her own to destroy Blake. But, this is probably what Cecil wanted. He knew he was not going to be able to live long. It is now up to Alexis to figure out how to finish Blake off. Cecil had provided her the tools and Alexis has the final piece - a hatred of Blake that Cecil cannot duplicate. And even if Alexis cannot do it, at least the two will destroy each other - which is probably what Cecil wanted all along. Little does Cecil know, Alexis will not initially use Colby Co to destroy Blake, but to force Blake to merge with her - both in business and in personal life. Still, Cecil is probably proud of his handiwork even if Colby Co will eventually be in the hands of a Carrington (or a Carrington and Colby).
