Blake tells C3 that he's almost positive he's about to get Carrington-Atlantic back. He's light on details of what he'd been up to the afternoon before.
Fallon finds out Liam had their first wedding certificate framed as a wedding gift. So she goes to Culhane to ask for help coming up with a suitably thoughtful gift (yes, someone else's "thoughts"). She finds out Liam's favorite singing duo are singing at C3's gala, so she thinks she can get them to sing at the wedding.
Caleb says it's better he didn't go to the gala since he's unable to quit thinking of her. She says she feels the same way, and she needs to confess her
impure thoughts to her husband. When Blake presents C3 with an enormous necklace, Fallon points out that it is a "Daddy did something very bad" gift, since he gave them to Alexis and 'fake Cristal' a lot.
Adam and Kirby are having sex in a hospital broom closet, which would seem to be very strenuous activity for someone who just had part of his liver ripped out of this body. But anyway, they are interrupted by a nurse who says he's needed to answer for some missing medication. (Note: Nurse didn't even care that she caught half-naked Dr. Carrington in the broom closet with a woman, which tells me she must watch a lot of
Grey's Anatomy).
Adam's boss Dr. Bailey is less pleased with his stealing medication, but since she's hot for him she decides they can work something out. Again, broom-closet sex seems to be unworthy of a raised eyebrow these days.
Jeff is also up and about, claiming he feels great. Sam and he make plans to go to a Taylor Swift concert (random). Also random is Sam's curly mop of hair, which isn't his style at all. Jeff tries to listen to Sam's parade of bad choices in men but they're interrupted by an old flame of Jeff's stepping out of obscurity to re-introduce herself. As Jeff tries to charm his way back into Nia's pants, Sam the third wheel won't leave them alone. Sam happens to mention Jeff is a married man, which ices over the mood.
Blake discovers the Moldavians are planning to nationalize their oil industry, which explains why Laura was suddenly willing to sell C-A back to Blake. With $500 million in oil at stake, Blake is fit to be tied and announces they (he and Anders) are jetting off to Moldavia. [
@Daniel Avery rubs his hands together and literally cackles with delight]
C3 and Blake are practicing their dancing in preparation for the gala and she confronts him about the reason for the gift. He gets defensive, which makes him look even more guilty. She consults his FitBit data to discover his heart rate went off the charts in mid-afternoon, so she deduces he slept with Laura Van Kirk, and goes to Caleb for advice on what to do. Bad idea.
C3 looks absolutely fabulous in her ball gown. Blake is ditching the gala to jet off to Moldavia, which upsets C3 even more. She takes off the necklace, hands it to him, and stalks away. She's not available when she's cued to give her speech, so Fallon jumps on the stage to read C3's speech as if she wrote it (with hilarious results). A sub-plot involving the singing duo being in Fallon's old sorority blows up just as C3 arrives to find out Fallon read her speech, so Fallon is doubly mortified as she exits stage left. Looks like Fallon would have been better served to get Starship to perform at the wedding.
Dr. Bailey doesn't get what she wants from Adam, who is acting almost....moral? in this episode. Even Kirby is puzzled by the sensible things coming out of his mouth. Did they take his evil side out along with that part of his liver?
Sam apologizes to Jeff, who says
"Now that I know I'm not dying..." ( eek: ) amidst chit-chat about Alexis, who isn't even there.
Kirby lets C3 know she knows about C3 and 'the priest'. Maybe that evil bit of Adam jumped down Kirby's throat along with Adam's tongue in that broom closet.
One of the singing duo falls ill, so Fallon volunteers to fill in (of course), but the hostess has no host to dance with. So guess who she hits the dance floor with? God'll get you for that, C3, because it's not the only floor they end up on (eventually--even C3 and Caleb have enough reserve to wait until after the party).
Culhane asks Fallon for help getting revenge on Dom and Vanessa--who better?
Sam reconciles with Kirby. Adam calls her but she takes a rain check to spend time with her friend. He then receives another call and frantically runs over to the manor to tell Cristal (who, thankfully, is now alone) that Blake and Anders had some trouble at the Moldavian airport and have been kidnapped.
No new episodes for two weeks, I assume to pad out the schedule so the season still ends on the original date.
