   At the cottage Krystle tells Alexis that she knows that she was shooting the day she had her accident.  This leads into the very first cat fight of the series.  Krystle grabs at Alexis who smacks her.  They throw anything with in reach and pull each others hair, Alexis’ clothes are ripped and her house torn apart.  Krystle smashes the portrait of Blake that Alexis was working on.  Krystle is the winner of the fight and with Alexis collapsed in the corner Krystle stands over her and tells her that if she wants a rematch then she knows where to find her.
   Claudia tells Cecil that she got the key, but the papers that he wanted copies of weren’t there.  He tells her that she still needs to get them, that their deal isn’t through till she gets them.  She tells him that he’s made a prostitute of her.  Cecil tells her that once he gets what he wants them there deal will be complete.
   Morgan Hess comes into Alexis’ house, he asks her if she is okay.  She asks what he found out.  He tells her that the divorce papers to Krystle's first marriage were never filed so she is still married to her first husband.  Alexis tells him to go find Mark Jennings, and that she doesn’t care how much it cost.
Final Thoughts:  The cat fight was hilarious, it was a lot of fun trying to spot the stunt doubles, who were clearly men.  The wigs were a giveaway along with the legs on the Alexis double. 
 Best Outfit:  I chose this one from the closet of Alexis.
 Fight Count:  1 (Krystle vs Alexis)
