Recap:  Blake wakes and finds that Krystle isn’t in bed.  He gets up to look for her he runs into Joseph who tells him that he heard a car and saw Krystle’s car drive off.  Blake finds her at the hospital, she tells him that the nurses won’t let her see Claudia.  He tells her that she can come back in the morning.
   It’s arranged for Claudia to be brought to the Carrington mansion, Claudia tells Krystle not to touch her.
   At the Denver-Carrington offices Jeff tells Blake that they still haven’t found Steven yet, and that they haven’t called the police, because they don’t have any proof anything happened to him.  Jeff reminds Blake that he wants Steven to be his own man.
   Steven is in a diner in Santa Fe talking with a guy named Dwayne about Sammy Joe and his mother.  He tells Steven that he thinks his mother did him a favor.  After finding out who Steven is, Dwayne convinces him to let him tag along with him back to Denver.  He makes a phone call to someone, and he lets them know that he is with Steven Carrington.
   Joseph goes over to Alexis with wine she ordered, he makes her write him a check since she put in on the main house account.  She sees Krystle talking to Tony from the window, once Joseph and Krystle are gone she calls Tony over and offers him a better paying job.
   Joseph tells Krystle that the detective is waiting for her.  He tells Krystle that he would like to close the case, but he is confused about something, he tells her about the witnesses that say that Claudia was upset when she left the St Dennis Club that afternoon. He brings up Matthew.  When he suggests that they go up and talk to Claudia, Nick comes in and says that Claudia is in no condition to speak right now.  He asks the detective why he won’t believe Krystle.
   Alexis is questioned about the shooting.  He asks her about the last time Claudia lived at the Carrington mansion, Alexis tells him that Krystle had an affair with Matthew and about the time Krystle tour her house apart because she thought that Alexis still had feelings for Blake.
   Jeff and Blake meet up for lunch, he apologizes for earlier.  He tells him about the board meeting, and his plan to get the shares back from Rhinewood.
   At ColbyCo Cecil watches the tape of Blake, suddenly he grabs his chest and he fumbles for his pills.  He feels a bit better and leaves the hidden room in his office.  Alexis comes in and tells him that his grounds are in poor condition and that he needs a new gardener.  She tells him about Tony and asks him if he is serious about marrying her.
   Claudia is going through the room, when Nick comes in, he asks her what she is looking for, and she tells him that she has to find the phone-book so she can get a passport to go look for Lindsay.  He convinces her to wait and when he tries to check her out she freaks out when he tries to look at her eyes with his pen light.  Nick tells her that she will be alright, it will just take some time to heal.  He helps her back into bed.  When he is leaving Fallon stops him and shows him her new swimsuit she got for the trip, he tells her that since Claudia was shot, he is canceling the trip.  She gets upset and he tells her that she is acting like a spoiled brat and tells her to call him when she grows up.
   Jeff goes to the hospital to check up on his son and finds Fallon with him, they go to the ST. Dennis Club and they talk about what they are going to do.
   Krystle calls Blake and he tells her that he will be home soon.  After they hang up she goes to check up on Claudia who is sleeping.  When she is back in her own room, Claudia comes in and tells her that she was just pretending to be asleep.  She tells Krystle that God took her baby from her since Krystle took Lindsay from her.
   Steven and Dwayne get into Denver, he suggests that they check into a hotel.  Steven tells him no and that he’s got the wrong idea, but Dwayne won’t take no for an answer.  Steven stops the car and tells him to get out.  Dwayne tells him he will if he gives him $500.00 and he won’t go to the police and say that he propositioned him.  They begin to fight and conveniently a police car comes by.  The police separate the two, and Dwayne says that Steven was coming on to him.  Steven gets quiet and won’t answer any questions as they arrest them both.
   Alexis barges in to the house to get a tin of caviar since her fridge isn’t working.  She asks Krystle about Claudia, Krystle tells her to leave after Alexis compares her situation to Blake’s when he was on trial.
Jeff tells Fallon he wasn’t to know about Nick and he will tells her about the woman he was with but Fallon doesn’t want to talk about it.  He wants to get back together,
   When Blake gets home Joseph tells him that Tony is leaving to go work for Cecil.  Blake goes to Krystle and tells her about Tony, she tells him hat Alexis got to him.  Blake talks with Tony and asks for the truth.
   Blake goes to see Alexis, he questions her about Tony, he tells her he knows that Tony lied and that she was responsible for the baby’s death.  Alexis asks him why he hates her so much, he tells her that he wants her gone.  After he leaves she swears that it won’t end this way.
Final Thoughts:  Finally Blake calls out Alexis and he knows the truth about what she did to Krystle.  But of course Alexis will make she ends up on top.  I think that Cecil's days are numbered of course I'm not sorry to see him go.  I don't like this new problem for Steven and his blackmailer, this better not last too long.
Best Outfit:  This shirt of Fallon's just doesn't look like something a girl her age would wear maybe Krystle, definitely Claudia, but not Fallon.
