dynasty Episode 133 - Souvenirs

Krystle is learning to deal with her ordeal in the attic.  Even so, she is not protected in her own mansion.  The press wants the story and they will do anything to get it.  Krystle sees a newspaper about Joel still out there and whether he will strike again.  Blake is angered with Adam for not stopping this kind of press.  Seriously, what does Blake expect Adam to do?  I mean he does not have that much power.

Later, Adam allows a nanny to interview with Krystle, but it is not a nanny.  It is a reporter who used the nanny interview as a ruse to question Krystle.  Krystle calls out for Blake instead of the armed guard.  At least Blake has the common sense to call for a guard to escort the "nanny" out.  Once again, Blake blames Adam for allowing this.  Man, Blake will not give Adam a break.  Wait, doesn't Adam still have that power of attorney.  Hmm. . .   Still, it's not a good few days for Adam, especially after he gets a letter from Claudia saying that she  is leaving him.  Well, I guess we finally do not need the obligatory scene with Pamela Bellwood.

Back to Krystle.  She is a wreck with the thought of Rita wearing her clothes and holding Kristina.  I would be too.  It is also a great excuse for a whole new wardrobe.  Krystle also drives off to the attic where she has memories of what Joel had said to her.  Somehow, Blake figured out where Krystle went.  And now it appears that Krystle is all better.  

Fallon returns to Denver after being raped by Miles on The Colbys.  Steven knows something is bothering Fallon, but Fallon plays it off.  Fallon cannot avoid the issue for ever because Miles follows Fallon to Denver.  Miles apologizes to Fallon (ahh, if it was only so easy) but Fallon is torn.  Blake sees the two fighting and warns Miles that he better not do anything to harm Fallon.  A little late on that Blake.  Later, Fallon tells Alexis that she is torn between Jeff and Miles even though Alexis is clearly on Jeff's side.

Caress meets with her publisher in New York.  The publisher wants to begin publicity on Sister Dearest, but Caress wants to keep her work a secret for the time being.  The publisher asks Caress how her meeting with Alexis went in Denver.  Oh, there was no meeting.  Alexis does not know Caress is free.

Alexis does learn soon thereafter and commands Zach Powers to leave The Colbys and come to Denver to discuss the issue.  (It also gives Zach an opportunity to convince Blake to use his tankers to ship Denver Carrington's South China Sea oil since Colby Enterprise tankers are barred from the port.)  Alexis wants to know why Caress was released two years early.  No one knows why but we get a hint as to why Caress was in the prison in the first place.  Apparently, something happened on a yacht with Alexis, Zach and Caress five years ago.  Zach is more interested in getting romantic with Alexis.  But, Alexis claims to be a happily married woman.

Alexis has plenty of suitors this episode.  King Galen sees the tension between Alexis and Dex and decides this may be the opening he needs.  A kink in his plan comes when Michael learns that Galen can walk.  Galen commands his son to keep it a secret but Michael is disgusted by the actions of his father.  Still, he will keep it a secret.

Galen has a special gift for Alexis.  It appears that some of the Moldavian crowned jewels were being refitted at the time of the revolution and now are back in Galen's possession.  He presents the jewels to Alexis and asks her to be his queen.  Alexis is intrigued but she still prefers Dex to being a queen.  Galen asks her to try the jewels on.  As Galen crowns Alexis, Dex enters and is super pissed, but does make the good point that Galen can hock the jewels to pay to get back on the throne.

Angered, Dex does what any good cowboy would do, get drunk.  It may be for the best to let Dex get drunk on his own at La Mirage, but Amanda decides to join him.  I wonder why.  Oh, so she can take a drunk Dex back to a room at La Mirage and then seduce him.  What amazes me is that after all that Dex drank that he would be able to get it up for Amanda.  How strong is that marriage again, Alexis?

Memorable Dialogue

Alexis:  How did Blake find the woman who impersonated you in their more intimate moments?
Krystle:  There were no intimate moments, Alexis.
Alexis;  You mean there was nothing between them.
Krystle:  Nothing
Alexis:  Ahhh. . . Poor Blake, then I just suppose it was business as usual.  Hmm. . .
Krystle:  Meaning what?
Alexis:  Meaning that if she's as boring as you are, then he wouldn't have noticed the difference anyway.

Michael:  You don't shock me father, you make me sick.

Alexis:  All my life Fallon, I fought to make it in a man's world and I played by their rules.  And, believe me, it's a man's world because when a man is ruthless he's admired but when a woman is ruthless, she is despised.

Alexis:  My marriage is very important to me.  I couldn't throw it away, even for a crown.

Alexis:  I'm a very happily married woman.
Zach:  Then, where is your husband?
