Dynasty Top Scenes - It's a Doll

by That Paragon of Sanctity in


This is probably my second favorite scene in the series (after Alexis throwing Blake and Krystle out of the mansion) because it is incredibly campy and really is an emotional roller coaster. Poor Little Blake had been kidnapped at the end of Season 2, and all of a sudden, eyes turn on Claudia being the likely kidnapper. It did not help that she was running around Denver with a wrapped bundle which Claudia believed to be her dead teenage daughter Lindsey.

A tip comes in and Claudia, to escape the police, goes to the roof of the hotel she and her bundle of joy are staying. Yeah, I get going to the roof is not a great escape plan, but let’s not forget that Claudia is crazy. In any event, Fallon tries to talk to Claudia to return her baby but that gets nowhere. So, of course, Blake needs to speak to Claudia and actually is about to get through to Claudia until the police make a move that spooks Claudia.

Claudia trips and the baby goes tumbling off the roof. The family is devastated. Of course, it looks like a doll falling off the roof and the proof that it is a doll is when it smashes on the roof of the police car. Now, why would Claudia dress and wrap her doll Lindsey in boy colors. That’s right, she is crazy. When the family finally learns that it was not Little Blake, but a doll, they are relieved. Now, there is just one more issue, who has Little Blake? [Good thing, we find out the next episode.]
