The Testimony

Dynasty
Season 1 Episode 13
Air Date:  April 20, 1981   
Recap:  At the courthouse Fallon pulls Steven aside, she wants to know why he said those things on the witness stand.  She tells him that he's just as much to blame for Ted's death as Blake.
   Blake tells Andrew that he wants to take the stand, but he doesn't think that's a good idea. 
   Jeff asks Fallon if she lied.  She says no, but is she doesn't he understand why she did.  Jeff tells her that Blake is right, she's lost her brother. 
   The prosecution rests their case and it's now Andrew's turn.  He calls Joseph to the stand, he says that Blake didn't say that he would kill him, but that he said he would get him.  When the prosecutor questions him he tries to make him an incredible witness by bring up his hearing problem, but Joseph hears him when he whispers, so the point goes to the defence there. 
   It's Krystle's turn on the stand, she tell them that Blake gets made, but is never violent.
   The next witness is one that Andrew doesn't want on the stand, he thinks she isn't credible, but Blake wants him to call her.  It's the girl from the bordello.  Andrew tells someone to stand by that he might have to subpoena Claudia.  The girl says that she and Steven had sex the day he came, and that he came back to see her again.  The prosecutor asks if she's a prostitute.
   Andrew sends him to subpoena Claudia, she calls Matthew and says that she loves him and that she knows that she's always been a problem, she hangs up.  He leaves and rushes home, probably thinking she killed herself.  The prosecutor calls Matthew and tells him Claudia was subpoenaed.  Matthew goes to the courthouse. 
   Blake isn't happy when he finds out that Claudia will be taking the stand, but he lets it go.  She tells the court about Ted coming to see her, and that she didn't think Steven go back with him.  Andrew wants her to admit her affair.  Steven jumps up and tell them to leave her alone, the judge orders him to be quiet.  As Claudia admits sleeping with Steven, Matthew comes into the courtroom.  He comes forward and into the area, where the lawyers are, the judge orders him to take a set and sends the bailiffs to escort him out.  He hits a bailiff and attacks Blake, he is arrested and taken from the courtroom.
   When Lindsay gets home, Claudia has things packed and she tells her that they are getting away.  Lindsay wants to know wants going on, but she tells her just to know that she's doing the right thing.
   Court has resumed and Andrew doesn't want to put Blake on the stand, but finally agrees.  Blake tells the court that he doesn't remember if he said kill or get him.  He goes through what happened, he tells them that he was confused, and that he didn't want Ted dead. 
   The defense rest, the prosecution says that they have one rebuttal witness, but they haven't arrived yet.
  Claudia and Lindsay get into a car accident.  Matthew is told about the accident and is released so he can go to the hospital. 
   The court is still waiting for the witness and the judge says that they can't wait all day, just then they get word that the witness has arrived.  A lady walks into the court room in a large hat and big sunglasses.  We get a shot of everyone with a dramatic pause as everyone reacts when they see who this witness is.  It's Blake's ex-wife.  This is the cliffhanger to season one.
Final Thoughts:   This was a great season finale episode, it had a great cliffhanger.  Why is Blake's ex testifying against him, and are Claudia and Lindsay ok?  I think that this might be the end of the Blaisdales, which I can't say is a bad thing.  Will have to wait to see what happens next.
Best Outfit:  It looks like she tried to look her best for court doesn't it.
Fight Count:  0
