	— Ted to Sam

Nothing But Trouble is the thirteenth episode of the first season of the drama television series, Dynasty on The CW. It aired on February 7, 2018.

Synopsis

TORN BETWEEN OLD FLAMES AND NEW LIVES — After Fallon's declaration of professional - and romantic - independence, Jeff tries to reel her back in. As Cristal struggles with Blake's unorthodox moral compass, she finds herself in a gray area of her own.

Plot

On Blake's behalf, Anders bribes a prison guard to stage an attack intended to prevent Cesil from being paroled. The parole board votes against his release, but Jeff sleeps with the parole commissioner, who sets Cesil free. Monica manipulates Fallon into accepting Jeff's marriage proposal, but Fallon discovers their duplicity and enlists Michael to help her against the Colbys. Steven decides to run for city council, and lets Ted know that tales of their wild past may become public. Still using drugs and believing that Steven and Sam are romantically involved, Ted stages a scuffle with Sam and leaps out of an upper story window.^[2]
