Alexis will pretty much do anything to integrate herself into Blake’s life (starting with his business). She feels slighted that Blake has been able to move forward with getting oil leases in the South China Sea since some of the work had begun at Colby Co. Maybe Alexis should not have fired Steven. In order to be at the center of the action, Alexis heads off to Singapore where Blake is meeting with Chinese ministers.

Before leaving, Alexis promises to be faithful to Alexis and Dex does the same. Alexis, however, needs to be part of this deal and if that means bedding Rashid Ahmed, so be it. When Dex finds out, he is livid because fidelity is so important to him. Fidelity is less important to Dex in the future as he beds Alexis’ daughter, Amanda, and her enemy, Sable. (Not to mention a few other dalliances.)

Alexis responds to Dex calling her a dog in perpetual heat by slapping him. (Why not say bitch!) And how does Dex respond, he slaps her back. We are naturally repulsed whenever a man hits a woman (even if it is a slap). but there is an argument that his response is not that horrible. Regardless, Dex continues to repulse Alexis’ attacks (no more slapping) until the two kiss. Alexis is ready to make love, but Dex decides to dump her instead. A furious Alexis claims that nobody owns her.

The scene is great because of the chemistry and passion between Dex and Alexis. Yes, the emphasis on fidelity is kind of ridiculous but you can see how much the two love and want one another. Further, Joan Collins pulls from her B movie days to make these erotic faces as Dex pushes her onto the couch. You really want them to make love, but Dex ruins that (and then goes sleep with Tracey). Alexis can swear that no man owns her, but we all know that men do (Dex and Blake to name a few) even if she does not want to admit it.
