The Psychiatris

Dynasty
Season 2 Episode 9
Air Date:  January 13, 1982


Recap:   Blake calls Krystle from Paris, his flight for Rome isn’t for another hour, he apologizes for snapping at her, he tells her that this oil deal isn’t as important as she is, and he asks if she saw Nick nice one, apologize then get her upset again.
   Nick comes downstairs and finds Fallon at his door, she wants his advice, she tells him that Jeff found out about the baby, and knows that she made an appointment for an abortion.  She wants him to refer her to a doctor in New York so Jeff can’t stop her from going through with it.  She goes on and tells Nick that she would have the baby if it was his.  He’s just the nicest guy, he tells Fallon he’ll talk to her about this when she’s not another man’s wife.  He goes back upstairs to get ready for work, the phone rings and Fallon answers it, it’s Krystle.  Naturally Fallon assumes that Nick is also sleeping with Krystle, and since her father is out of town Krystle is free to call him whenever she likes.  He asks who called and she tells him to guess, she doesn’t believe him when he tells her that Krystle is only his patient.  He tells her to stop acting like a child, he won’t put up with it. 
  Jeff asks a friend, who’s a lawyer about father’s rights to stop a woman from aborting his child, Jeff uses the old line, I’m asking for a friend of a friend- like anyone can believes that. 
   In Rome Blake goes to Alexis’ hotel room, he wants to know where Rashid is, she tells him that he had to go back home, but that they will meet him at his villa the next day and finish the deal.  Blake tells her that he told Krystle that he would be coming home tomorrow, she tells him that no one would want him to pass up this deal. 
   Steven comes home from a doctors appointment and finds Sammy Jo working on his car, she is fixing it up so he can go racing again, he tells her he’s impressed with what she’s done, she asks how impressed and he kisses her.
   Blake thinks that there is something to easy about this deal, they couldn’t get a hold of Rashid, but she was able to find him without a problem.  He asks about her connection to Rashid, she says that they were involved at one time and he owes her a favor, so she called it in of help him.
   Krystle goes to her bedroom and finds Sammy Jo there at the dressing table playing with her hair, she tells her that she got a letter from Sammy Jo’s father,  and knows that he told Sammy Jo that he wouldn’t be coming back for her.  Krystle tells her that she can go to school and maybe become a secretary, Sammy Jo has other plans, and I don’t think that they involve her working.
   Steven and Fallon are talking, he tells her that she shouldn’t do anything for Blake, he doesn’t tell her what he means, but she’s getting suspicious of his constant innuendos about them. 
   Jeff’s friend tells him that the father has no rights, Claudia comes in and has some papers for him to sign, he asks her if it’s normal for a woman not to want her baby.  She tells him that if the woman is unsure of the love of her husband then she might.
   Blake calls Krystle and tells her that he has been delayed, she wants to come out to be with him, but he tells her to stay, he doesn’t ever tell her that he is with Alexis.  Alexis asks Blake to put suntan lotion on her.  There is someone in the trees taking photos of them, the dogs start barking and he hides just in time before Blake or Alexis can see him.  Alexis meets up with the photographer and pays him for his work.
   Jeff tells Fallon that he is sorry and wants them to stop fighting, he begs her to change her mind about the abortion.
   Rashid finally arrives and Blake tells him that he’s not happy to be kept waiting for 3 days.  They discuss the deal, Blake will only release the money once the oil tankers are release.  Rashid says no, but Blake tells him he knows that he is need of the money he will get from this deal, and that he can lower the amount.  Rashid says he needs to talk to the Prince first.
   Fallon asks Krystle if Blake called, and asks if Krystle knows anything about Fallon and Blake.  Then she asks her about Nick, Krystle tells her she doesn’t know anything about Nick, that he’s just her doctor hired by Blake who would only hire the best.
   Krystle goes to Nick’s office to keep her appointment, she sees the tabloid, with the picture of Blake and Alexis on the cover, on the table.  She runs out of the office, Nick comes out and sees the magazine and yells at his secretary for having such a rag in the office.  He catches up to Krystle outside and takes her back to his house to watch him cook. 
   Steven wins the race that Sammy Jo set up, he tells her he wants to go celebrate with her at his cabin this has become his love cabin, the only person who missed out was Ted Dinard. 
Nick and Krystle talk about how Blake doesn’t share his business with her.
   Blake thanks Alexis for what she did to help him, they kiss, but he tells her it was a mistake, and it shouldn’t have happened.  He tells her that he needs to go home.
   Krystle is picking at her food, she sees the magazine in Nick’s jacket pocket and gets mad at him, he said that he didn’t bring it up because he knew it was painful to her.  When she begins to cry he tells her that Blake isn’t worth her tears and that she doesn’t owe Blake anything.  She says that she needs to go home, because she knows what will happen if she stays, he moves closer to her and kisses her.
Final Thoughts:  Blake is really stupid, I can't believe that he would really believe anything Alexis told him, and for him not to tell Krystle is just plain stupid too.
Best Outfit:  This is just like Sue Ellen's swimsuit, to me it's not flattering at all and what's with the headband?
Fight Count:  1 (Jeff vs Fallon)

   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:
