NOTHING TO HIDE - Blake calls a family meeting, leaving the family a little confused. As Fallon is feeling positive about her new ventures, Jeff delivers some less than stellar news.

Plot Summary[]

SPOILERS AHEAD

Jealousy colors a new week at the manor. Cristal's post-traumatic stress surfaces when paired with Alexis at a seminar for women executives (the hot dog sale assigned to them deteriorates into a ketchup/mustard fight). A romantic triangle forms between Kirby, her female agent Charlie, and Amanda. Blake's fatherly position is threatened so he does a deep dive on Daniel to prove he is only after Sam's money. Jeff discovers company sabotage is responsible for a wetlands oil spill. Fallon has difficulty masking her corporate side when shadowed by an eco-sensitive actress that Liam and Culhane are pursuing for their film. Sam spies Daniel in pain, injecting himself with a syringe.[2]

Quotes[]

Blake (to Fallon, Sam, Liam, and Amanda): This may sound strange, but for the past three weeks, the woman that we all thought was Cristal was actually an imposter named Rita.
Fallon: "May" sound strange?
Liam: Yeah, how is that even possible?
Amanda (to Cristal): If she was an imposter, then where have you been?
Cristal: Beto kidnapped me and kept me locked in a basement so he could use this woman to steal back our family business. But he's gone and she's in jail.
Sam: So you're saying I let a nonprofessional massage my spine? I mean... are you okay?
Cristal: I'm fine. And the sooner I can stop thinking about this, the better.
Fallon: I can't believe we didn't know. Although I did think it was weird you gave me such good advice.


Amanda: Do you always drink before a day's work?
Alexis: Bubbles soothe my stomach. Which is what I need, because Cristal's plan for our project today is making me ill.
Amanda: Hey, go easy on her, okay? She's been through a lot.
Alexis: Oh, did she lose one of Blake's apology necklaces?
Amanda: No, I'm talking about her being kidnapped by her brother while someone else impersonates her for a few weeks without anyone noticing. But, sure, maybe it's what you said, too.


Cristal: Turns out I didn't need Joyce. What I do need is to talk about Rita. Me and Rita, not you and Rita. I know I said I didn't, but I haven't been honest about how it made me feel about myself. The Flores board had me worried. How could I possibly be a powerful CEO when I couldn't even make a mark on my family?
Blake: Oh, honey, of course you've made a mark on this family.
Cristal: I know that now. But I allowed Rita to make me doubt myself. Until today.
Blake: So it was a success.
Cristal: In a different way. During a ridiculous fight with Alexis, I remembered. I'm Cristal Carrington. And there's only one of me.
