Enlightenment comes when she accepts Liam truly needs space away from her. Michael maneuvers Blake to make campaign promises giving aid to communities Carrington Atlantic has harmed. Jeff's neurotoxin symptoms return as he sells ColbyCo assets to fund Mars flights. Trials for Adam's new drug are stalled when Amanda finds liability issues for the hospital.

Quotes[]

Sam: Everything at La Mirage is falling apart. Room bookings are down, conferences are canceled, parties are slowing, and reporters are calling me nonstop. All because of what the Carringtons put in the press linking me to Leo, the Mafia, and a cursed hotel. I mean, they're acting like La Mirage is the hotel in The Shining.

Kirby: Oh, I love that movie. So scary... Not the point. Got it.

Fallon: I think Liam wants a divorce. I contemplated calling him, even though I said I wouldn't, but then I realized, it wouldn't matter 'cause he's not answering my calls anyway.

Colin: My wife did the same thing. And while I did act poorly, it really hurt when she shut me out.

Fallon: For the first time in my life, I have no idea what to do.

Colin: Powerlessness is not a pleasant feeling for people like us.

Fallon: No. I don't like the way any of this feels.

Colin: I'm so sorry. I know how terrible this is. Wish I could do something to make it better.

Fallon: Thank you for being here for me.

Colin: Of course. Enjoyed my time in charge.

Fallon: That's not what I meant.
