Previously on dynasty...
Remembering anything at all
is-is a really good sign.
For you. Do you remember that we were engaged?
I mean, do you remember that you loved me?
The atlantix's next opponent just canceled their reservation.
The Victor Diaz story just came out,
and now they don't feel safe staying here.
We'll get you on Monica's label
and use Jeff's streaming service to play your music.
Soon everyone will know who you are.
I am here to introduce you to fallon unlimited,
our new
namesake magazine.
Dominique's your stepmom, right?
You got to promise not to tell Jeff and Monica.
They will never accept me.
And Dominique will kill me.
We've been discussing sending you to a school that specializes
in this kind of thing. Who's "we"?
You mean cristal?
Acting like an entitled brat
will definitely help cristal
make her case for sending you away.
You know what would be great?
If my wife and my son
could coexist peacefully so I could focus on the trial.
Now it's time to put your memory to the test.
Do you remember this?
♪
[Gunshot][Birds chirping]
Pull.
Great shot, boss.
Not your boss yet, Darren.
True.
Uh, since tomorrow is
the last day of my trial period, I was wondering
if you had any feedback for me.
I want to make this Thanksgiving one to remember.
Not as much as I do.
Something goes south with this trial,
I don't think Thanksgiving in prison's
gonna be as festive.Agreed.
And when I say "one to remember,"
I don't mean in a tornado or hostage situation way.
Get those tidbits in Anders' binder?
Yes.
The binder's very thorough,
though a little outdated.
I'm not so sure
that your blockbuster membership number is still necessary.
Don't change the binder.
Pull!
[Gunshot]Whoa.
Your dad's skeet shooting is giving me PTSD,
and I wasn't even in the military.
Well, not that I remember.
No, you weren't. The closest you've come
was Miami last year, when you and I
ate a ton of general tso's chicken.
Miami?
Art Basel?
Wait, do you remember that?
Maybe. Wait, were we naked at art Basel?
Yes! Yeah, we were always naked.
I mean, in the hotel, not at art Basel.
Wow, what a breakthrough.
I feel like James garner at the end of the notebook.
Just, you know, with better hair.
Maybe later we can reenact the ice cream scene.
[Sucks air through teeth] Yeah, I've never seen it.
Or maybe I have.[Phone rings]
[Scoffs]
Allison, what is it?
I'm having a breakthrough here.
What?
W-Wait, wait, wait, you're sure he's coming to Atlanta?
You can hold the attitude.
Okay, just get me a room, and I'll handle the rest.
Yeah, goodbye.
Wow. Landon III is coming to Atlanta.
Am I supposed to know who that is?
He's an eccentric creative director from england
who's helped launch some of the most successful publications
in the last five years.
He's staying at the windview lodge
for Thanksgiving dinner and a Turkey hunt.
Although... Probably not in that order.
And you're meeting with him at this lodge? Yeah, well, if,
you know, by meeting him, you mean ambushing
and then forcing him to come work for fallon unlimited,
then yes.
Hey,
you should come with me.
Thanksgiving plans? You know we...
Talked about taking it slow.
Uh,
that's fine. I'll be back by tomorrow night anyway.
I thought you said your dad was making a huge deal
about Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow
and taking a family photo.
What, you're just gonna miss that?
God, I hope so.
Blake: Well, I admit it's not ideal.
I-I just think that governance of the carrington foundation
should stay in the hands of a carrington,
not some so-called nonprofit professional.
And you would like that to be you.
I like helping people.
That's why I became a doctor.
And now that I know what it's like to have a disadvantage
in life, I can't think
of anything I'm better suited for than to run it.
That's funny, because I can't think
of anything you're worse suited for.
The carrington foundation is an actual business,
not something you just sign up to be president of.
I'm well aware of that. It requires
an actual knowledge of how things run,
which is something you've now proven you lack.
Many times. Cristal,
I'm actually talking with my father.
Maybe you should leave.
If you want to help, maybe you could volunteer
at a local shelter. For dogs, obviously.
That's enough, you two.
She started it.
I'm ending it!
This could be my last Thanksgiving
before I'm behind bars, so I would appreciate
if the two of you would make peace.
And remember, the photographer will be here tomorrow at 4:00
to take the family photo.
So I expect you both to be here,
ready to smile.
And act happy, damn it.
♪ Don't give up
♪ just don't give up.
Girl, you can sing.
Thank you.
And thank you so much for letting me reschedule this.
I know you're busy. Well, fallon told me you had a killer voice.
And I think she undersold.
I would love to talk to you more someday.
You know, get to know each other.
I mean, because you're such a strong woman
running her own business.
Well, thank you.So...
What do you think?
Which corner were you hiding in?
I was in the back making sure your acoustics are good.
Which they are.
Thanks. That means so little to me.
Okay, I think we should
probably just leave now. Not yet.
I need to know if Monica's interested in working with you.
There's a possibility.
I'm just not sure I'm interested in working with you.
Sam: You're missing Blake's last
Thanksgiving dinner and family photo for a Turkey hunt?
I'm not going on the Turkey hunt, okay.
I'm just sitting down with Landon
before he goes back to england.
Good. If you're not here, he won't miss me.
Why aren't you coming?
Because it sounds boring.
Plus, I have a lot
to do at the hotel with the whole Victor Diaz fiasco.
Whoever thought owning a hotel
meant spending the entire day ordering
free room service was wrong.
Well, you could always have dinner with Liam.
He will be home alone.
Hmm? Are you leaving Liam alone
for Thanksgiving?
Of course you're there, lurking like an av kid at prom.
[Chuckles] Um, do you think that's such a good idea,
given his issues?
Aren't you worried about a backslide?
What, like Liam getting back together with Ashley?
No, no. You don't go back to eating ground beef
after you've had filet mignon.
At least not twice.
I'm not talking about Ashley.
Uh, backsliding is a condition that occurs in amnesia victims,
and it's when they forget things that they've already remembered.
And it usually occurs
when they're far from their main memory source.
I think he means you.
Oh, it probably won't happen to Liam, so don't worry.
Oh, I'm not worried. Don't you worry about that.
All right, then neither of us are worried.
Good night. Good night.
Good night.Night.
Unbelievable.
I know. He's so good with that cane.
Though it does look like backsliding is a thing.
Seriously?
[Groans] Liam was just starting to remember things.
I can't have him here alone, at home, forgetting.
Take him with you. He still wants us to take it slow.
Cancel the trip, then.
Or I could have thought of an even better idea
while you were talking, which I did.
You may want to order another one of those.
Why, are you paying for it?
No. When you told me to stay away from Vanessa,
was that because you didn't want me near your client
or your stepdaughter?
I don't know what you're talking about.
You are using Monica to get Vanessa a record deal.
That's why you came back. Not because you missed them.
I love all of my children, Michael.
No, you need them.
Are you going to get to the point?
Yeah. I'm giving you one day
to tell Jeff and Monica the truth.
One day.
Or... I'll do it myself.
Adam: I wanted to ask for a truce.
Please don't roll your eyes at me.
Wait, can you actually see?
No, I can't. I just asked Nadia
to let me know if you made a face at me.
I'll just be over here.
Look, father wants this to be a memorable Thanksgiving,
so I'd like to do something special for him,
and i-I'd like your help.
I would like to bake a pie for Blake
that he loved as a child.
It's from this recipe I found when I first moved in,
from his great-grandmother,
who tragically died in a fire.
Which seems to be a recurring theme around here.
But if you're not interested, I get it.
No... I'll do it.
I'll help. For Blake.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Not if I see you first.
That went well.
It did.
Now tell me why you really asked her for help,
and then what I can do.
You really do know me.
♪
Our hotel is a ghost town, Anders.
50% occupancy during the holiday season?
We should be turning people away.
But no one's booking because they're afraid
of getting kneecapped, like Victor.
Well, I'm sure they'll change their mind
when you explain that
two kneecappings occurring in the same hotel
is very unlikely.
[Bell rings]
Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. May I help you?
And that's six minutes it took for you to ask me.
I'm Fletcher Myers.
The PR guy that owed fallon carrington a favor.
Oh, oh, yes, yes-yes-yes.
Thank you so much for coming.
So, where do we start?
You can tell me what you've done so far
to deal with the fallout.
Well, I called everyone who canceled and I told them
about our new, hidden security cameras we installed.
And how many of them rebooked after learning they were going
to be secretly recorded 24/7?
I'm beginning to see the problem here.
I think he's referring to you.
Yeah, I get it.
I don't know, I've never written something like this before.
I'm used to novels.
Well, an article is just a novel
for someone with adhd.
It's all writing, you know, you just put a pen to paper
and let the process flow.
The important thing is that you are here with me.
To write an article
about the hotel's history.
And I'm here to meet with Landon.
Who is, oddly, walking over here right now.
Okay, please be cool.
Landon.
L.r.? L.T.?
[Both laughing]
[Shouting]
Liam: Oh, my god!
L.r., l.T., can I get a t.O.?
What's going on? You guys know each other?
Hell yeah. He gave me my first internship
when I was studying in London.
Which could have become a full-time position
if he hadn't decided
to become a cliché and traverse the world,
like some type of beautiful viking.
[Laughter]
Wow. So when I told you I wanted to meet
with a British creative director named Landon,
you didn't think to tell me you knew him?
Well, I didn't know it was thislandon.
And I've also always known him as l.T.
And you said he was english
when he is... Welsh.
Ah, silly me. I'm fallon carrington. Hi. From America.
Delighted.[laughs]
It's brilliant to see you, mate. You, too.
Didn't expect to find you here.
Not exactly one for hunting.
I'm actually writing an article about this place
for fallon's upcoming magazine.
Thank you. Yes, I, uh, would love to talk to you about it.
I actually have an opportunity that I think
you'll be very, very interested in. If you're free to chat?
For this bloke, I'll do anything.
Hey. Onward.
How are you? I'm good.
Good.
No sharp knives.
I am at a slight disadvantage.
I'm not gonna stab you, Adam.
Staff is gone, and I don't know where they keep the silverware.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hmm.
All right, what am I doing?

Thank you.
Dominique: Why didn't you tell me
Michael culhane knows you're my stepdaughter?
How...? Who told you?
He did. Now everything that we've worked for is in jeopardy.
Because you wanted to share your feelings
with some man you barely know.
I didn't tell him. He figured it out.
And I didn't tell you because I thought you'd freak out,
which, clearly, I was right about.
The plan was
to get Monica to sign you beforewe told her the truth.
Now Michael culhane has given me one day to come clean,
or he does it himself.
I'm sorry.
Maybe this is a good thing.
Maybe we should come clean.
Monica seems great,
and I feel terrible lying to her.
So I can do it if you want.
You've known Monica for five minutes, Vanessa.
It needs to come from me.
Keep working.
Maybe consider adding "barista"
to your résumé,
because if this goes badly,
you're going to need it.
Basically, you handled the mccarty plaque situation
the wrong way, and I'm here
to stop you from doing that same thing again.
I'm not sure I like your tone.
You didn't hire me for my charm.
Good, because I was about to ask for a refund.
And the mccarty thing was not my fault.
I've done everything I can to make it go away.
Exactly my point. I don't know if you're trying to work out
some trauma from your childhood
or recent history, but you can't fix the past, Sam.
Well, you're really great at telling me what I can't do,
but what can youdo?
There's the, uh,
secret but not-so-secret donation,
or the new management option,
or maybe the good samaritan move.
Really depends on which way you want to go
and what you want this hotel to be.
You think that I'm the one stuck in the past,
but you are the one pitching recycled ideas to fix my hotel.
What's your plan, then?
Telling the truth.
Oh. I'll use social media
to explain what really happened with Victor
and how it will never happen again.
Yeah. Good luck with that.
I've often wanted a touch of amnesia. How is it?
Ah, well, it was definitely weird to hear that I was engaged
to a woman I didn't recognize,
published a book that I don't remember writing,
and learned that I missed three seasons of queer eye.
Oh, so much frothy melodrama to catch up on.
Uh, speaking of frothy, my magazine...
So, how did mother Laura take all of this excitement?
Well, you know my mother.
Intimately.
Oh, right.
Right.
Two years ago.
Aunt mora's new year's Eve party.
You recall that?
Liam: Oh, yeah.
And I really wish I didn't now, you... dog.
[Laughs] As much as I would love
to discuss Laura Van kirk's sex life all day and all night,
um, I do have a presentation I'd love to show you...
Right, but first, what about this article of Liam's?
Oh, like I said, it's a... it's a piece on the lodge's history.
Apparently, this oil lamp
once belonged to president John Tyler.
Yes, but that's just one article.
We are still looking to solidify our creative direction.
That is where you come in. Now,
if you want, we can go somewhere a little more quiet to talk?
I'd love to, but I don't quite have the time now.
The men's club awaits. So how about we meet
for afternoon tea? You'll have my full attention then?
That's fine. Liam and I were gonna go...
Liam, would you like to join me?
There's a lot of history with the men's club
that could help with the article.
Devil's in the details, I always say.
I mean, the insider's perspective
could be really good for this. You're okay with that, right?
Yeah, but I thought... look, I promise you are gonna love this article.
Okay?
We'll talk later.
Mm-hmm. Let's go.
[Laughing]: Yes.
[Sniffing]
Is something burning?
[Smoke alarm beeping]
Hello? Anyone?
I smell...
Oh.
Oh, no.
Yeah, I'm guessing that's
not how the pie's supposed to smell.
No, Adam.
The pie is black now.
What? Why?
Did you set the temperature wrong?
I did exactly what you told me to do.
I don't know what happened.
Of course this would happen
on the one day I needed everything to be perfect.
Well, we have a couple of hours.
Maybe we can make a new one.
No, we're out of pecans.
I got these special caramelized pecans
from this lady down in whitewater creek.
First, great-grandma Rudy
dies in a fire, and now her pie does as well?
I mean...
I guess I could drive and get the pecans.
Are you sure? I can see
how much this matters to you.
And how much it will matter to Blake.
Thank you.
Here's your Manhattan, sir.
Thank you, Darren. Of course.
Mr. Anders referred to it as your "afternoon pick-me-up."
[Groans]
Is there a problem?
Look, I'm fine with the changes to the Thanksgiving menu,
even your more modern dressing habits,
but please don't mess with an Anders Manhattan, all right?
Some things are sacred.
I'll do it better next time.
Are you watching news about Blake?
No, it's much worse.
Uh, people are responding to your social media proclamations.
Much worse? What do you mean?
#lamiragelagarbage.
#sammyjoke. What...?
#worsthotelierlnatl.
This is, this is terrible.
Well, it may not be the most creative hashtag in the world,
but it's not terrible.
It gets its point across.
Now news outlets are picking up on the story.
Perhaps Fletcher Myers might have known
what he was talking about.
Anders, you only liked him because he had a binder.
I've input his number.
Just press call, apologize, and ask for help.
Hey, Fletcher, it's Sam Jones.
I just wanted to...
Well, you couldn't have been expecting my call,
because I just decided to make it, so...
You know,
you are just as obnoxious on the phone as you are in person.
You know what? I'm good. I don't need your help.
I already have a great idea, so bye.
Remind me to work with you on the art of the apology.
Can we put the sass on hold?
I need to come up with a great idea fast.
Any great ideas?
[Liam and Landon laughing] Liam: Crazy...
Apologies. We, uh, seem to have lost track of time.
Yes, well, I understand.
I seem to have lost track of time myself.
But the good news is the waitstaff here loves me now.
Except for Beth,
who's been trying to take my order for two hours.
So maybe we should just tell her what we want
and then I'll dive right in.
I'm actually quite knackered.
I need to meditate before the Turkey hunt.
I have shoddy aim when I'm unfocused.
Let's reschedule
the business chitchat for later tonight.
After the hunt? Brilliant.
I'll be in touch.
Uh-oh.
You're mad.Liam.
I understand that your memory is not what it used to be,
so I will remind you that we are here
because I have an important business deal
that I need to close.
Not so you and Landon
can act like frat bros.
I know, all right, I'm sorry.
But I got a ton of great material for the article.
I'm almost finished.
And this exclusive Turkey hunt sounds absolutely insane.
And, I mean, I'm starting to remember things.
Like, uh, when we went to Miami.
Yes, that's right. We went to art Basel.
No, I meant when Landon and I went to Miami.
You and I went to art Basel?
Liam, we literally just talked about this yesterday.
You know what? That's not the point.
I've had enough.
Landon would not be ducking me if I were a man.
And no one ducks fallon carrington.

Gobble, gobble.
No solicitors, please. You can go.

You always loved Thanksgiving.
I thought you might

Listen... we need to talk.
Yeah, we do.
I'm sorry I was so icy to you yesterday.
With Jeff away on business

Really? Wait. What?
It's temporary, though you'd need to move in two weeks.
Wow.
L.t., man, that sounds incredible.
Good thing we stumbled upon each other.

No ideas.

I will hold down the fort tonight.
What about Thanksgiving?
Well, Kirby's away,
and this holiday doesn't mean that much to me.
That's not true.
I know how much you used to love Thanksgiving at the manor.
Well, maybe so.
But the manor, unfortunately, is no longer my home.
As far as this holiday is concerned,
I am effectively homeless.
Despite a healthy bank account
and a nicely appointed new apartment, obviously.
Anders, I think you just gave me a really good idea.
But I'm gonna need your help.
Blake: How can I help you?
I just wanted to wish my big brother a happy holiday.
Ah.
I need dirt on your former driver.
And I know you have it.
Well, you also know I don't give out anything for free.
I don't expect you to.
I have an offer.
Give me what you have

It would be worth it just to get you out of my life.
So, sure.

Yes, and it just got bigger.

Great. And it'll be just you in the picture?
No, no. The rest of the family's coming.

I mean, oh, yeah, it sounds like a great opportunity for me.
What, an opportunity to forget me?
I mean, think about it, Liam.
Have you remembered one new thing
since you've been here? About me?
No, you haven't.
And if you move away, then you're gonna backslide
all the way to 2012 if I'm not there to keep an eye on you.

Yeah, which I now realize was a huge mistake.
Okay? But I couldn't leave you home alone.
Did you make up an assignment to get me to come here with you?
Hmm? Yes.
But only because I was afraid
that were you were gonna forget us.
And I thought that I could do both things at the same time,
but now I've just... Screwed up both.
Yeah, well, you have a better shot with Landon
than you do with me right now.
Turkey!
[Gunshot]
[Gasps]Landon: Ow!
Did you just shoot me?!
Maybe.
Landon, Landon, I am so sorry, okay?
It was an accident."Sorry" and "accident" are two words
that are not permitted on a hunting trip.
I respectfully decline your job offer!
No, but we have, uh, great benefits
and health insurance.
They may not cover preexisting conditions,
but I could try to pull some strings.
Please get me away from her.
[Grunts]
I'm sure you have a lot that you want to say right now,
but maybe we could just put a pause on it
until we get home?
I just can't believe that you would invent a job
just to keep me close to you.
So that's a no on the pause?
Fallon, did you ever just consider telling me the truth?
You know, instead of making up an assignment
like I'm some eight-year-old who needs
to be kept busy.
What kind of person does that?
The kind of person who's afraid
that if you're not with me, then you'll forget about me.
So what if I forget a few things,
fallon?
What is the big deal?
The big deal is that if you start forgetting things,
one of those things might be us.
And that really scares me,
because I don't know if I could start over.
I don't know if I can make you fall in love with me again.
I mean, it was kind of
a miracle that it happened in the first place,
so you just really need to cut me some slack.
I mean, Liam, you have no idea how hard this has been for me.
Hard for you?
Yeah.
Fallon, I have to face
the uncertainty of restarting in every aspect of my life,
not just our relationship,
so I am sorry if this is hard on you.
But you don't have to restart if you don't want to.
I'm the one here who doesn't have a choice.
Happy Thanksgiving, sir. Thank you, Darren.
Adam: Smells great.
And trust me, it looks delicious.
Adam: Look, I know
it hurts that cristal and fallon
and, uh, I guess, even Sam aren't here,
that they missed the family picture,
but I'm here, father,
and I'm so glad
that I can be the one you can count on.
Well, I guess
I should start carving.
Seeing as how little the rest of my family cares about me.
Jennings: Wait. I'm here.
I'm so sorry. Just give me five minutes
to freshen up... I'll be right back.
[Sighs]
This is what happens when you listen to your gut.
From now on, la mirage will be the hotel with a good heart.
Well, thank you.
Mm.
And I should apologize for calling you an arrogant ass.
You never called me that.
Oh, then, I guess I must have thought it.
No, but, really, i-i...
Should apologize for being stubborn.
This was my first Thanksgiving post-divorce,
and it's so not where I thought I'd be a year ago.
And I guess that's why I acted the way I did.
It was nothing personal.
I figured.
Because I can see the hotel is not the only thing
around here with a good heart.
Uh... whoa.
[Chuckles]
I was not expecting that.
That's what made it so fun.
You have a great holiday, Sam.
You, too.
Looks like the evening got a little more...
Interesting.yeah. I...
Don't know where that came from.
Well, don't overthink it.
On a completely different note,
I think my work here's done.
Good. Go home, get some rest.
No, I don't mean tonight. I mean...
I'm done here with the hotel.
For good. You're quitting?
We both knew this wasn't a long-term thing.
I just wanted to help you open the hotel
and to teach you how to fly.
And having watched you today,
you are flying like...
Superman?
Well, I was gonna say like a butterfly,
but if you prefer Superman, that's fine with me.[Laughs]
I'm really grateful to you, Anders.
But I know that you
need to do what's right for you.
And I think we both know what that is.
Jennings: I am so sorry I was late.
I had to buy something, and my car got two flat tires,
and for some reason my phone stopped working.
I couldn't even get a cab
because of the holidays. I needed you here before dinner.
But no, no, no, you had to go shopping.
Nothing's even open. It's Thanksgiving.
I wasn't shopping. I was getting pecans for Adam.
Oh. Yeah, of course, you blame Adam.
Say what you want about him...
And believe me, you have said plenty...
But he was the only one
that was here for me the entire time.
I'm not blaming him. I was helping him.
He wanted to give you some joy
before your trial
by baking your favorite pie.
And the reason he stood by you all day
was because you make him feel like a problem.
Which most of the time he is.
But he's also
been a better person.
And he's still your son.
She's telling the truth.
She really was trying to help me.
I'm sorry, I just wanted this Thanksgiving to be perfect.
Well, I think it comes pretty close.
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
Can I...
Finally start carving now?
Sam: Hola.
Sorry. Is it too late for me to change real quick and join you?
Okay. Be right back.
Before we go in,
I want to apologize.
And to thank you
for taking the high road and telling Monica.
Everything is gonna be so much better.
I mean, we're already having
our first Thanksgiving meal as a family.
One thing. Monica knows nothing.
And we're going to keep it that way for now.
We have a contract to sign.
[Exhales]
Blake: Okay. I think we are
finally ready?
Uh, smells great.
Unfortunately, I do not,
so if you could just hold on one second,
I'm gonna go shower.
No, you are gonna sit your ass down at this table,
we are gonna eat and be thankful!
Okay. Um, sorry.
I got here as fast as I could,
given the circumstances.
Oh, my god, you shot a Turkey.
[Whispers]: I didn't shoot anything... on purpose.
Blake: Now that we are
finally together, granted,
under the most excruciating circumstances possible,
I want to thank you all for making it.
How about a picture?
The photographer left hours ago.
So?
Darren: Did someone say "picture"?
I got this. I took a few night classes at Emory.
[Bo whining]Good boy. Oh.
Hey. Darren: All right, everyone.
What do you got?
What is it? Look this way.
Wait, Bo, what...? Oh, whoops.
I accidentally pressed the video. Sorry.
Give me...
I promise I can do this.
All right, there we go.
Everyone, say "Turkey."
No.who is this guy?
[Barks]
We're thinking of opening a club Colby offshoot in New York.
And if the brand does well, who knows?
You've come a long way since the little girl
who used to make hand turkeys.
Excuse me, that was art.
Dominique: It was cute. I'll give you that.
That's why I saved it.
[Soft laughter]
Yeah, it's great that she saved your painting.
It's not so great that she's been lying to you for years.
Vanessa. What is she talking about?
Yeah, what am I talking about, mom?
Wait. Mom?
She's your...
You're my... We're sisters.
Oh, hell no.
Stepsisters.
Darren: Time for dessert.
Straight from the binder. Blake: Thank you, Darren.
Once again, I want to thank you all for making it.
I don't know where I'll be this time next year,
but hopefully it'll be right here with all of you.
In the meantime,
I'm making you president of the carrington foundation, Adam.
Fallon: When did you become
such a softie? I'm going on trial for murder.
It has a way of making you look at things
from a different perspective.
He has a point. Mm.
Yeah, it shouldn't take that to make you realize
that being with the ones you love is important.
And no matter what has happened...
God knows we've been through our share
of drama and backstabbings...
That's the past.
And just the thought that we're here together,
despite everything, that is enough to keep me going.
You okay?
Yeah.
To family.
Anders: What about really old friends
and father figures who wish to return?
Oh, there's nothing I'd like more.
Darren. Hmm?
You're fired.[Gasps]
I thought you wanted to poison cristal in Blake's eyes.
But when you had the chance...
I know, I'm, I'm as surprised as you, actually.
All I know is something happened
when she said I was a better person.
She's right.
I think you're pretty great.
Yeah? Well, you've been a good influence.
I'm glad you're here.
Mmm. Me, too.
First thing you need is a gag order on that prosecutor.
And then if you can share with me all the details you have
on the jury selection,
I can help. Yeah, let's worry about that tomorrow.
Right now I would kill to have a Manhattan with you.
It's the one thing that your replacement couldn't get right,
even when he went to the binder.
Well, to be honest,
I did put the recipe in the binder,
but I left out my secret ingredient.
Love.
Oh, uh, well...
I'm just joking, sir. I'm joking.
Cinnamon. I left out the cinnamon.
[Both chuckle]Love.
[Knocking on door]
What's that? It's ice cream.
Like in the notebook, which we can watch right now.
Okay, all right, we'll watch it later.
But you should take the London job if you want it.
Landon killed it. You know,
after my girlfriend shot him in the ass.
Am I still your girlfriend?
Okay, all right.
Yeah, not the point. I got it. [Sighs]
But I did sneak a look at your piece...
And I loved it.
It'd be perfect for the magazine.
But instead of keeping it
for myself, I sent it out
to a couple different editors and publishers.
So your phone will probably be ringing all weekend.
Thank you, I think.
And you were right. I was afraid of beginning again.
But then I thought,
if we do, then we can make new memories.
You know? And forget the bad ones.
Bad ones?
The point is, if you are willing to start over, so am I.
So,
take...
Hi. I'm fallon.
[Chuckles]
I'm Liam.
Okay.
[Knocking]Jennings: Adam.
I wanted to talk to you.
Me, too.
I just want to say thank you
for everything you did today.
And I'm so glad that we could move past our differences.
Do you honestly think I didn't know what you were up to?
I'm confused.
The minute my car broke down, I knew it was you.
I just didn't know how.
But I saw you and Nadia together,
and then it all made sense.
I didn't say anything because I didn't want to hurt Blake.
But trust me, you won't be here for long.
So watch your step.
Or... I guess that's what your girlfriend is for, right?
So? How's it going?
He said he loves me.
[Gags]
I've got him wrapped around my little finger.
Just like you wanted.
Perfect. Something we can all be thankful for.
