Synopsis[]
SNAKE IN THE GRASS - Blake and Cristal work on the opening of PPA but not all goes as planned. Fallon goes to extreme measures to further her company. Adam needs Liam's help in his next business venture and when Liam doesn't pull through, Sam reveals a damaging secret. Sam is worried about Culhane and comes up with a plan and needs Kirby's help to execute it. Dominique voices her concern about Jeff's new mission but he's not backing down.
Plot Summary[]
Fallon schemes to have Blake's airport go "Morell green" by unleashing environmentalists (and an endangered tortoise) on the property. Cristal shuts her down but offers a keen compromise that benefits all. Sam is convinced that Sasha is the wrong woman for Culhane and relies on tarot cards to prove it. Would-be parents Liam and Fallon opt to try surrogacy. Dominique asks Jeff to rethink his crusade against corrupt CEOs. Amanda and Kirby find some alone time when they stow away on a PPA jet. Liam's rich mother, Laura, swoops back into Atlanta. She guilts her son, taunts Fallon, and strong-arms Adam until an overdose of cosmetic injectables leaves her dead, impaled on a stiletto heel.[1]

Quotes[]
Sam (to Michael): I don't know, I guess I just miss the old times. You know, like, charity tennis and designing the new club. Electrocuting contractors.
Laura: You know what I love about you, Fallon?
Fallon: My father and my brother?
Laura: It's that you're always proving me right. I knew you were useless. But you can't even get pregnant now?
Fallon: Excuse me?
Laura: Don't worry, dear. It's probably best you don't have children. You haven't got the maternal instinct.
Fallon: You wouldn't know maternal instinct if it bit you in the ass.
Laura: You're denying your husband a family. And, meanwhile, I've got a list of Georgia debs just ready and anxious to get the job done. If you really loved Liam, you'd just step aside.
Fallon: Give it up, you old gank. Your attempts to break us up are as futile as your attempt to look younger.
Laura: Well, I don't have to attempt anything this time, 'cause you did all the work for me, you barren bitch.
Fallon: When we found out that I can't have a baby... I just felt like my body had failed me. And I felt that maybe I had failed Liam, too.
Cristal: But you know that's not true.
Fallon: Yeah, logically, yes, but... emotionally... I just... I always thought that I would be able to carry my own baby. You know, that I would be able to have that bond and that connection.
Cristal: Unfortunately, I know exactly how you feel. What happened to each of us isn't fair. Life isn't fair, but you are definitely not a failure.
Fallon: Do you still wish that you would've had a baby?
Cristal: I try not to think about what I can't have anymore. And I found a different kind of fulfillment. So will you. You're allowed to ask for help if you need it. You don't have to do this alone.
Fallon: Thank you, Cristal.
Adam (to Laura): This is exactly why I wanted you to send that email first!
