Recap:   At the Carrington mansion Blake is getting out of bed, he puts on a pair of sunglasses and his dressing gown, then looks for his slippers.  He is on the ground looking for the other one when Joseph come in, he tries to help him put it on, but Blake won’t let him.  He gives Blake a gift that was left outside the door.  Blake opens it and Joseph tells him that it’s a cane, he gets upset because it’s a blind man’s cane, he asks what the card said, Joseph tells him it’s from Logan Rhinewood.  Blake starts to smash things which causes everyone to come into the room to see what’s wrong.  Blake can’t understand why the doctor’s haven’t been able to find a cure for him, he’s been blind for few weeks now.  He gets upset that everyone is in the room, Fallon gets everyone to leave and he thanks her.  He tells her that he doesn’t like people watching him, even his family.  He tells her that he’ll manage, and that he doesn’t want her to cry.  She helps him downstairs so he can talk to the Lieutenant.  Blake tells him that he knows who is responsible for his blindness, Logan Rhinewood, the Lieutenant tells him that no one has ever seen Rhinewood and they don’t have anything new in the case, but that they will keep trying.  Nick comes in with the specialist, he tells Blake that nothing is wrong with his optic nerves, so the problem is psychological, Blake isn’t impressed with this doctor, Nick tells him that he’s tired of telling him to relax and that he is a sick man who needs to rest and he isn’t ready to go back to work.  Nick tells Blake that he’s human to if not inhuman, he walks out on Blake as he yells at Nick to tell him what he meant by that.  Krystle follows him to his car and asks him how he could talk to Blake like that, he tells her that he wants her again, she tells him that she can’t leave Blake yet, she tells him she isn’t sleeping with Blake and she hasn’t since he came back from Rome with Alexis.  He asks when she’ll stop living a lie, and she tells him that she doesn’t know.

   Jeff asks Fallon if she’s thinking about her lover, she tells him that she’s thinking about her father, he tells her that she better hurry and get dressed because they  are expected at someone’s house for dinner.  Fallon tells him she doesn’t want to go, and she kisses him, Jeff tells her that she is only doing this to make Blake happy.

   It’s Sunday morning and Blake is ringing the bell for Joseph, he made Joseph get up several times in the night, and Joseph is a bit cranky with his boss, but Blake is a bigger ass and tells him if he doesn’t like it then he can quite.  But Blake apologizes and Joseph forgives him, because he’s the best friend he’s got.  Andrew comes to see Blake, he gives Blake some good news, all his oil was bought and now Denver Carrington is solid once again.  He has some papers that he wants Blake to sign, Blake tells him that he wants to talk to him at the office the next day about Logan Rhinewood, he wants to put him away. 

   Sammy Jo and Steven are working on his car, while Steven is getting a tool she needs Fallon goes to her car and ignores Sammy Jo, who makes a comment to Fallon, Fallon tells her that she is only a part of the family for now.  When Steven comes back she asks him why he hasn’t told Blake about them getting married yet.  He tells her that he couldn’t not when his father was blinded, but he promises to tell him today.

   When Steven tells Blake about his marriage, he’s about as happy as everyone else is about the news.  But Blake says that they will learn to accept her and teach her how to be one of them.  Steven tells his father that he quit his job again, and that he wants to become a race car driver, this is more upsetting to Blake than the news about his marriage.  Alexis takes Steven from the room and tells him that he shouldn’t be upsetting his father when he’s like this.  Sammy Jo overhears Steven and Alexis talking and hears that Fallon isn’t Blake’s daughter.  Alexis goes back into Blake’s room and tells him that she’s sorry that he had to hear about the marriage this way, she tells him that they can get the marriage annulled.  Joseph interrupts them and tells    Blake that he will set up a cot in Blake’s room so then he’ll be right there if he needs him for anything.  Alexis doesn’t miss anything and asks him about Krystle, he tells her that to she is sleeping in the guest room so she’s more comfortable. 

   The next day at Blake’s office he thinks that Cecil is Jeff, he tells Blake that he wants to talk.  He tells him that he is sorry that he called in on his loan, and he wants to bury the hatchet.  He’s got a proposition for the two of them.  Blake shuts him down and tells him that the only Colby he trusts is Jeff.

   Cecil finds Claudia and congratulates her on her promotion.  He tells her that he’s got some new information about where Matthew and Lindsay are, she doesn’t seem as sure about what he has to tell her.

   Nick calls Krystle and tells her that he wants her to come over, she tells him that she doesn’t want to, he tells her that he’ll come to her and talk to her in front of the staff if she wants him to. 

   Alexis and Fallon go to lunch Fallon stops by at Nick’s table, he tells her that he’s meeting a patient, she asks who she is.  Alexis is watching them closely.  Nick excuses himself, when Fallon goes back to Alexis, she asks her if he’s the one.  Fallon tells her yes, Alexis tells her that she needs to be careful, that Nick is dangerous, and that he is after something.  Fallon tells her that he’s the only man that she’s ever loved and she will marry him.  Alexis asks if she knows who the other woman is, Fallon tells her that she thinks she does.

   Jeff and Blake are going over Nick’s personnel file, Blake asks him to read the part about Nick’s family, Blake thinks he remembers the youngest brother’s name, but can’t place it. 

   Fallon is sitting outside Nick’s house and sees Nick walk Krystle into his house.

   Nick asks Krystle if she told Blake yet, she tells him she couldn’t not after the way Nick talked to Blake.  She tells him that she needs to stay with him because he needs the support.  She will leave Blake when he can see again.  Nick tells her that that could be for a very long time and that he doesn’t think that he can wait that long.  She asks Nick if he will help her, he says of course, she tells him to leave her alone.

   Blake tells Andrew that he wants to try Logan Rhinewood in the court of public opinion, Andrew doesn’t understand, but before Blake can explain his secretary tells Blake that Ray Bonning is here to see him.   Blake asks him what he wants.  He tells him that Logan wants to buy the rest of the football team.  Blake says that he was the one that blinded him.  Ray says that he was in Vegas, and that he’ll have a hard time proving it was them.  Andrew tells Blake that Logan Rhinewood is serious and that he could end up dead.

   Sammy Jo tells Steven that she overheard him and his mother talking and asks if it’s true that Fallon isn’t Blake’s daughter.  Steven tells her that he doesn’t want to hear her say anything about it to anyone.  She assures him that she would never say anything, but from the look on her face I can tell that she’s got some ideas.

   Krystle goes to Blake’s office, she tells him that she wants to help, he tells her that he can get people to bring him coffee what he needs is a wife in his bed, and he asks her if she is offering that, she leaves his office.

   Fallon tells Alexis that she saw Krystle at Nick’s house, she puts all the blame on Krystle, she thinks that she is throwing herself at him.  Alexis tells Fallon that she can’t tell Blake, she tells her to trust her, she will help her get Krystle out of Blake and Nick’s life.

Final Thoughts:  How long is this storyline going to go on, I don't get what Fallon or Krystle see in Nick, he's kind of a jerk to both of them, and I like the Blake's storyline, it could get really interesting, but again not sure how long I can take him stumbling around then getting mad at anyone trying to help him. 
Best Outfit:  This reminds me of Celine Dion's outfit from the Oscar.
