   Nick comes over to see Blake, he tells him that Krystle is getting worse, that she won't leave the house, and he wants him to take her on as a patient.  Nick tells him no, because she doesn't want his help.  Blake urges him to help.  Nick has a flashback to the hanging legs and tells Blake that he will do it.  (I think that this is how he's going to get back at Blake for what he think he's done to his family
   Krystle come into the library, and finds Nick pouring himself a drink (I would think he wouldn't want to drink on the job, but whatever).  He asks why she didn't come to his office like she was suppose to, she tells him that she forgot.  He tells her that when he first met her she was so lively and now she is so lifeless, but if she's happy the way she is then that's her business, he tells her that he will cancel their appointments if she wants him to, he tells her if she changes her mind to call him.
   Cecil has come to see Jeff at his office at Denver Carrington, he wants Jeff to come back to ColbyCo.  He tells him to think it over and goes to leave, but Jeff stops him telling him that he has thought it over and he won't come back.  Cecil tells him that he will try again, and he asks about Denver Carringtons new plans for extracting oil.  Jeff tells him that he won't be his spy and if he wants to know then he should ask Blake for himself.   Cecil literally runs into Claudia and helps her pick up all the papers that fell, he tells her that she looks good, she tells him that she feels better now that she is working.  He wants to get information from her and asks her to dinner, she agrees.  
   In Rome Alexis answers the door, it's Rashid Ahmed, he tells her she looks beautiful.  They toast to their past, she tells him it was sweet of him to come see her.  She kisses him he tells her she is the best businessman he's ever known and he wants to know what she wants now.  She tells him that he owes her a favor, she tells him its about 5 tankers of oil.  She tells him that they will talk tomorrow, and they kiss again.
   Sammy Jo is working on a car, she asks Steven about his doctors appointment.  She tells him that the truck needs a tune up.  He tells her that he's busy tonight, but that they will go out to the track soon.  He drives away, she tells Fallon that she likes her car.  Fallon asks when Sammy Jo's dad is coming to pick her up, she tells her that it will be soon.
   At the doctor's she tells Fallon that she is pregnant, she tells her that it's going to be a good pregnancy.  She wants to ask the doctor something.
   Claudia and Cecil are at a nice restaurant he asks why she went to work for Blake, she tells him because he offered, and because of Matthew, she tells him that Blake has people looking for Matthew and Lindsay.  He asks if they've had any luck, and then offers his help in searching for them.  
   Fallon, Jeff and Blake are in the drawing room, they are waiting to for Krystle.  Krystle comes down, she is wearing the pearls.  Fallon tells her about seeing Sammy Jo at the garage and how she thinks it pays to be a girl in the family, she say that you couldn't blame her for thinking that, and goes on to say that she saw Krystle get a car for getting pregnant and pearl for losing it, Jeff tells her to knock it off, (I don't think she meant to be mean by this for once), Krystle excuses herself and goes back upstairs.  Blake follows her, tells her that Fallon didn't mean it, he suggest that they go for a drive she tells him later, that she's tired and goes up to bed.  Jeff tells her that she did it again, Fallon tells him that she'll apologize tomorrow because she's got to go out.  Jeff asks who it is again, she suggests he follow her if he thinks she's cheating on him.
   Steven and his date are at the St. Denis Club, she thinks he's making stories, she thinks he's funny.  She suggests that they go to her place, as they leave they run into Blake.  After that encounter Blake needs a double bourbon.
   Fallon is in bed with Nick, she tells him that she is different with him, she wants him to respect her.  She tells him that he's the first grown up man, she tell him that she loves him and wants to marry him.  He tells her that she's only looking for a way out of an unhappy marriage.  She tells him that she is pregnant, it's not his baby.  She says that she would be a bad mother, he asks what Jeff thinks, she tells him that he won't know about it.  He tells her to think about this.  He tells her that he was married and his wife wasn't supposed to have any children but she did and it killed them both.  
   Jeff is given something for his hangover, Blake joins him at the table.  Blake isn't impresses with his son.  He tells him that he's seen Dotty with other men who pay for her services.  Blake tells him that he's going overboard.  Steven tells him that he's having a great time.  
   Joseph brings Blake the phone it's Alexis, she tells him that she found Rashid Ahmed, she won't tell him how she found him till he gets to Rome himself.  She tells him he can release the oil tankers, she doesn't know how he can do it.  He asks what's in it for him, she tells him 10%.  He tells her he can't leave Krystle, she tells him that he has to, but he can't tell anyone about the deal.  He tells her he'll call her when he gets into Rome.  Rashid Ahmed asks what Blake will do when he finds out that he's gone, she tells him that she will think of something.  
   Blake tells Krystle he is going to meet with Rashid Ahmed, he can't just send anyone, he'll be gone only a couple days.  He asks how her appointment with Nick went, she told him she cancelled it.  She insists she's getting better, but it will take time, she tells him she doesn't want Nick's help.  
   Fallon comes out of the shower and tells him she's ready to have that talk he's been wanting to have, she tells him that she can see how he sees her.  He tells her that he knows that she wasn't in love with him when she married him, she says that they should get a divorce.  He tells her about the phone call and he knows about her abortion that she scheduled, he tells her that they can get a divorce after she has the baby.
Final Thoughts:  What is Alexis planning, I think the makeup job on John Saxon is funny, he looks more like Sean Connery then someone from the Middle East.  I thought it was funny when Jeff told Fallon to knock it off, someone needs to do that more often, maybe Nick do her some good, but what she sees in him I don't know, to me he's not that good looking.  Steven was funny with that date of his, and Blake's facial expressions when they left the restaurant and at the table were hilarious.  And why does Blake suddenly believe Alexis, and why would he trust her, did he tell her he was looking for Rashid Ahmed, if I was him I would have been very suspicious.
Best Outfit:  I love that this is how she dresses for just hanging around the hotel room.
Fight Count:
