  Jeff gets to the hospital, he asks how Krystle is doing.  Blake asks him about Fallon, he tells him that she didn’t come home yet.  He tells Blake how sorry he is about what Cecil did then he tells him that he quit ColbyCo.  Blake wants him to come work at Denver Carrington, he tells him that none of his children are here, he like a son to Blake.  Jeff goes to get coffee, and while he’s gone Blake starts to remember moments with Krystle, where they are talking about having a baby, and about the baby.

   Alexis calls the hospital and tries to get information about how Krystle is doing, but they won’t tell her anything, and hang up on her, the funniest thing was when they asked her if she was family, she said no, but she’s the first Mrs. Carrington, so she has a right to know how Krystle is doing. 

   Sammy Jo and Steven are at a party, they are all friends of hers.  They are all jerks, and get him to go racing, by taunting him.

   At the hospital the doctor comes out and tells Blake that Krystle is fine, but she lost the baby.  She’s under sedation and doesn’t know about the baby yet, (I bet she really does, I mean she was says she was losing the baby in the ambulance).  The doctor gives Blake even more bad news, he tells him that Krystle won’t be able to have any more children.

   Fallon gets home and Alexis gets her to come over to her studio for coffee, she asks where Fallon’s been, she tells her she went for a long ride, but Alexis knows she was with a man, and tells her that she’s been in her place and wants her to be careful.  Fallon tells her to stay out of her business.

   Alexis joins Claudia by the pool, she’s digging for information about Krystle.  She tells her that Krystle lost the baby, Alexis is very sweet to bring up Matthew and Lindsay, and her testimony at Blake’s trial.  Claudia wants to know what Alexis wants with her. 

   Fallon joins Blake for breakfast, she tells him that she was at the movies, and that she’s sorry that she wasn’t at the hospital.  She says that she’s going to go to the hospital later.  Blake tells her to be gentle with Krystle and that she doesn’t know that she can’t have any more children.

   Steven is racing, he’s doing pretty well, until the car behind him starts hitting him, when he stops he tells Sammy Jo that he loves racing and that he loves her, she asks him to take her somewhere where they can be alone.   They go to the cabin, and she wants him to make love to her, but he tells her he can’t, she says that he told her that he loved her, but he says that he’s not in love with her. 

   Alexis joins Blake in the study, she tells him how sorry she is about the baby, she then tells him about Sammy Jo and Steven, she wants him to help her keep Sammy Jo away from Steven.  She asks if she can go get the gift she left for the baby, he says yes.

   Nick finds Claudia at the pool, he wants to know if she’s taking the job only so she can keep up with the investigation.   She gets upset with him, she tells him that she doesn’t love Matthew anymore, she hates him and she only wants to find him so she can fight him for custody of Lindsay.  

   The doctor is with Krystle, she asks when she can have another baby, he doesn't want to tell her, and suggests she takes things one day at a time, but she knows that he's keeping something from her, and I'm pretty sure she knows what it is.

   Joseph catches Alexis in Krystle and Blake's bedroom, she's going through Krystle's perfumes, he asks what she's doing there, she tells him that she just taking the gift back, she says she's sorry about the baby, but he doesn't believe it.

   Andrew comes to see Blake after returning from Washington, he doesn't have good news for Blake, the government won't help them get the oil tankers out of the Middle East.  Alexis eavesdrops on them and hears them talking about Rashid Ahmed, they don't know where to find him, but from the look on Alexis' face I think she might have a good idea where to look.

   Sammy Jo wants to know if Steven didn't want to sleep with her because she told him she was with other guys  He tells her that it doesn't matter, and that whoever gets her will be lucky.

   Alexis calls a friend, they make small talk, but she gets to the point and asks where she can find Rashid Ahmed.  

   Steven goes to Claudia's room, he tells her that he was almost going to sleep with someone, and he stopped because he was thinking of her.  He tells her that he loves her and wants to marry her.  She tells him that she doesn't love him and that she still loves Matthew.

   Steven goes to his room and finds Blake there, he talks to him about Sammy Jo, and Steven tells him that he's old enough to make his own decisions.  Blake tells Steven that Krystle lost the baby.

   Nick is with Krystle in her hospital room, he asks why she's giving up, and he's really understanding with her (I'm being sarcastic here, he's almost yelling at her).   When he leaves he meets Fallon outside the room, he tells her that he wants to see her again, but only when he wants to, she doesn't like this arrangement, and asks if Krystle is another of his women.

Final Thoughts:  I think this episode really shows how far we've come, Blake could only get a hold of Jeff, if it was today everyone would have had a cell phone and would have been to hospital once they got the news about Krystle.  I don't get Nick's idea of counseling, he seems to get upset with Claudia and now pretty much yelling at Krystle, dude she just lost her baby, if she wants to cry for Blake too she can, I know your holding this vendetta against him, but come on.  Fallon needs to stick to one story, she's going to get caught and then what's she going to do?

Best Outfit:  This night gown is something else, I don't see anyone really wearing something like this in real life, on TV they always where these fabulous night gowns.
