I appreciate your offer, but I don't dwell on my failures. I pounce on opportunity. So I'll be closing a deal with a very well known retailer in the next 48 hours. Oh, and since you clearly admire my designs, you should order soon, because I'll be selling out. Sorry, no family discounts.
Dominique declining Fallon's offer.

"The British Are Coming" is the sixteenth episode of the fourth season and the eightieth episode overall of The CW's Dynasty. It aired on August 27, 2021.

Synopsis[]

GRANT SHOW MAKES HIS DIRECTORIAL DEBUT; NENE LEAKES GUEST STARS - Blake makes a life changing announcement, in more than one way. Fallon calls on NeNe Leakes to help stir the pot of competition in the online shopping world. Alexis attempts to make amends with Fallon and Adam, yet they are both suspicious of her motives. Sam and Culhane have very different ways of processing recent events. A new arrival to Atlanta raises many questions.[1]

Plot Summary[]

SPOILERS AHEAD

Touted acclaim for Liam's exposé does not extend to the Carringtons (including his wife) who are too absorbed by their own endeavors. Fallon seeks to quell competing offers for Dominique's line and land it on her own shopping network. Cristal chases down hundreds of signatures needed to secure Blake's entry in the senate race. Michael heeds Anders' other worldly criticism concerning a lack of guilt over Abbott's demise. Alexis is pursued around Atlanta by a young British blonde who turns out to be her secret daughter, Amanda (visiting to obtain answers about her true parentage). All comes to a head during Blake's press conference: Fallon and Adam react badly to learning of their new sister; Dom keeps business in the family; a stood-up Liam wins a journalism award and thoughtful attention from Fallon's attractive new assistant, Eva.[2]

  • This is the first episode to be directed by a cast member, Grant Show.
  • The way Amanda acts, stalking Alexis all day before entering in her penthouse unannounced is a throwback to her introduction in the original dynasty as well as their first conversation.

  • Nene Leakes shot her scenes at her home. A cast member was sent to assist her. [4]

Quotes[]

Fallon (to Blake): I would maybe lose the, uh, "called to duty" part.


Fallon (to Dominique): Break a leg.. on your way there.


Alexis : I find it hysterical he thinks he can win. He's got more skeletons in his closet than a Halloween Outlet Store.
Fallon: Doesn't everybody in this family?


Fallon (to Liam): I guess I'll have to treat her like I would any other member of my family. I'll derail her deal, and then with nowhere to go, she'll come running to me and i'll able to get her at a bargain-basement price.... What? That's the way my family treats each other.


Adam: So you had Fallon trick me into coming here by asking me to pay a house call to a sick friend?
Alexis: Yes. Crab Roll?


Dominique (to Fallon): I appreciate your offer, but I don't dwell on my failures. I pounce on opportunity. So I'll be closing a deal with a very well known retailer in the next 48 hours. Oh, and since you clearly admire my designs, you should order soon, because I'll be selling out. Sorry, no family discounts.


Adam: I've been thinking about our relationship, and as much as I hate to admit it, the thought of you dying while there's discord between us is troubling.
Alexis: It is troubling. Why am I the one who has to die in this scenario.


Blake: Honey, maybe you should be more aggressive.
Cristal (on the phone): Hey! Get out of the way, jackass!
Blake: Okay, it sounds like you've got that covered.


Fallon (to Adam and Amanda): Have you tried to sleep with her yet? He will. He likes that sort of thing.


Dominique: Oh, I think I see a loose thread.


Cristal: Don't forget to vote for Blake Carrington!
