Recap: Krystle enters the solarium and finds Mrs. Gunnerson muttering angrily to herself...and when she asks her whassup with her angry muttering, she tells Krystle she's extremely miffed that Mrs. Colby decreed that her culinary services won't be needed for Adam's/Dana's wedding - not even to supervise the kitchen on the big day. Egads! Krystle somehow refrains from pointing out that a more normal person would be thrilled to enjoy a rare day off, and instead asks her if she knows where the witch is. Mrs. Gunnerson tells her she's in the conservatory, weakly adding, "I don't want to cause any trouble" - but Krystle replies that she's not the one causing trouble [even though she kind of is]. Over in the conservatory, Alexis is directing Gerard to remove the living room furniture and put it into storage during the wedding. Krystle interrupts, asks Gerard to please go soothe Mrs. Gunnerson's ruffled feathers, and firmly reminds Alexis that she and Blake gave her permission to help plan the wedding - not insult their servants. Alexis explains that she unwittingly snubbed Mrs. Gunnerson only 'cause she prefers to work with her own caterers. Krystle insists that the caterers need to be comfortable working with the mansion's overly-sensitive kitchen staff, then declares that once the wedding is over, so is her involvement with the household and their lives...and as she storms off, Alexis grins in amusement at having caused such a kerfuffle. Oscar Goldman drops by Denver Carrington to tell Blake that Leslie needs to stop dating Clay asap. Blake's all, "Why are you telling me this?" and advises him to go straight to Ben - but Oscar says that no good can come from him and Ben conversing, 'cause of the lame Fallmont-Carrington feud he can't seem to stop himself from perpetuating. He warns Blake that a major scandal will erupt if Leslie and Clay don't cool it, then blurts out an explanation: he's pretty sure that Clay isn't his bio son, 'cause apparently he was conceived during the time Emily was hitting the sheets with Ben while he (Oscar) was out of town campaigning. Blake's all, "Say wha-a-at?" and stares back at him in revulsed horror.
Over at Clay's apartment, Clay and Leslie are canoodling in bed together, cooing I love yous at each other. Clay reminds her that she hasn't yet agreed to move in with him...and when she tells him she's hesitant 'cause she's never lived with a man before, he proposes that she live at his place all day today so that she can no longer use that as an excuse. Leslie mulls that over and says she definitely likes the sound of that idea, and then the two start smooching. Blake summons Ben to his office to tell him that Oscar Goldman just stopped by to warn him that since Clay was conceived while he was off campaigning, he can only assume that Clay is his bio son...and that the dolt has been possibly, unwittingly doinking his half-sister for the last several episodes. Ben says he doubts that that's true, not least 'cause Emily never once gave him the impression that Clay was his spawn. Blake reminds him that Leslie and Clay have gotten very cozy lately, and that the two should probably not be knockin' boots until they get to the bottom of their familial link. Ben says he's reluctant to tell Leslie any of this 'cause of how blissfully happy she is with Clay - but Blake warns that there could be icky consequences if she continues to have sex with a guy who could be her half-brother, and says that if he (Ben) doesn't tell her, then he (Blake) will have no choice but to bite the bullet and break the grotesque news to all concerned. Blake drops by Clay's apartment and looks startled to find Leslie there. When she tells him that Clay is busy working at the pipeline job site, Blake thanks her and looks as though he can't get out of there fast enough. Blake arrives at the pipeline job site via helicopter and rushes over to Clay, who has just pulled up in his jeep. He tells Clay that Oscar Goldman came to see him earlier with some shocking news, then spills the beans that Ben Carrington might well be his bio dad. Clay stares back at him in stunned bewilderment, then says he can only assume that Oscar is lying in a sick attempt to put the kibosh on his relationship with Leslie. He vows that Oscar won't get away with it, then hops into his jeep and drives off.
Oscar Goldman is about to start boozing when Clay storms into Casa Fallmont and angrily demands to know why he told Blake he didn't sire him, admonishing him for harboring such a deep hatred for his own son. Oscar says he's more than willing to put their differences behind them and get back on track - but Clay shouts, "You can go to hell!" and tells him he's nothing but a drunken liar and growls, "I could-" And Oscar's like, "What? Kill me?", then eggs him on by saying, "Go ahead...it won't make any difference. That tramp's still your sister." Clay reacts by punching him in the face and knocking him down...and as Oscar recovers from the blow, he mumbles, "You can't run away from the truth, boy." Clay glares at him in disgust for several seconds, then exits the house. Inside the High Meadow Sanitarium, Sarah is still too out of it to grasp that her daughter Cathy is no longer among the living. As Krystle watches from behind a two-way mirror in the adjacent room, Sarah gets visibly upset every time Dr. Miller uses the past tense when referring to Cathy. The doctor motions at Krystle to enter the room...and when she does, Sarah implores her to explain to Dr. Miller that Cathy is still alive. Krystle says she can't do that and confirms that, indeed, her child is dead - but Sarah refuses to accept that reality, accuses both women of lying, and demands proof of non-life. In the next scene, Krystle, Sarah, and Dr. Miller are aboard a private jet, en route to Wyoming. Leslie drops by the pipeline job site looking for Clay. She tells Dex she hasn't been able to reach him all day and is growing concerned. Dex remarks on how much she must really dig the guy to worry this much...then tells her to chillax, 'cause no doubt the two of them are going to live happily ever after [spoiler: not]. Sammy Jo arrives at Carrington manor to pick up Danny and runs into Alexis, who nonsensically calls her a fraud who enticed her gay son back into her life just so she can hurt him again. Sammy Jo stares back at her with a hurt expression, says she has no right to accuse her of something that really makes zero sense, then races upstairs to fetch her son. Dana sneaks into Adam's office, gives him a from behind canoodle, and suggests they take an extra long lunch...like, for the rest of the day. Mmm hmm.. Adam says he wishes they could elope to Vegas and avoid all the hoopla that comes along with a big mansion wedding - but Dana argues that they couldn't/shouldn't disappoint his faux(?) family. She promises to love him for who he is (aka a possible changeling) and vows to always be there to support him. Adam chews on that for a few seconds and agrees to go through with the fancy wedding, then gives his bride-to-be a big smooch. Over in Wyoming, Krystle and Dr. Miller accompany Sarah to a graveyard, direct her to Cathy's headstone, and urge her to face the truth so that she can start healing, like for real this time. Sarah looks down at the headstone with her daughter's name etched onto it and starts sobbing while Krystle looks on, her face scrunched empathetically. Jackie enters the pipeline trailer office and huffily orders Nick Kimball to stop dating her mother so that she and her boring bio dad Garrett can get back together. Nick coos about how sympathetic he is to her feelings, 'cause he himself suffered through his own parents' divorce - but then insists that he loves Dominique very much and would only walk away from her if she asked him to. Jackie sobs as she implores him to prioritize the feelings of his girlfriend's immature daughter by disappearing from their lives, then yells, "Forever!" as she flees the office.
Blake and Alexis are in the lounge of the Carlton Hotel, amiably going over some last minute wedding planning details. Alexis asks Blake if he has any ideas about what they should get Adam/Dana for a wedding present, and Blake politely tells her that it's a moot point 'cause he and Krystle have already decided on a collective gift. Alexis pivots from that awkwardness and asks him what he thinks about setting up Adam and Steven in some kind of business venture together, and Blake calls it "an interesting idea" [interesting meaning horrible] that might help make Adam feel more like he's truly part of the family. After Blake heads off, Gavin Maurier wanders over, introduces himself as Dirk's nephew, and invites her out to dinner later...and she grins back at him and looks totes into the idea of indulging in a May-December dalliance. Later at the mansion, Dominque confronts Jackie about her bitchy edict to Nick, then firmly says she really should have come to her first. Jackie wails about how much she wants her and Garrett to rekindle their non-existent flame and remarry, but Dominique makes it clear that 1) she doesn't actually love Garrett - not least 'cause he's a giant bore, 2) she'd be living a lie if she resumed their relationship, and 3) she wishes that she (Jackie) would grow the hell up and get this dumb, little girl fantasy out of her head. Clay returns home, where Leslie has fixed them some tasty looking snacks. She happily tells him she's officially decided to move into his place, then notices his ashen-faced expression and asks whassup. He snappishly tells her he thinks they're moving too quickly and that she should put a pause on her plans to move in...and when she demands he tell her what has changed his mind all of a sudden, he reveals that Oscar Goldman claims not to be his bio dad, and that he was conceived by Ben and Emily when they were having their illicit affair. Leslie stares back at him in stunned incredulity and says that this can't possibly be true - but Clay says it's possible it be true, and that they're going to have to deal with the blechiness of them maybe having committed incest as recently as earlier that morning.
Leslie storms over to Ben's office and demands to know if Clay is really maybe possibly his bio son. When Ben scrunches his face into a tortured expression, she moans, "Oh God.." and makes it clear how enraged she is that he didn't say a word to her about any of this when she started dating Clay. Ben meekly replies that he was afraid she'd hate him for carrying on an affair with a married woman, so Leslie makes it clear that she couldn't give even the tiniest of rat's asses about him having an affair; however, gives a giant rat's ass that he just stood by mutely while she fell hopelessly in love with her (maybe) half-brother. As Blake enters the office, Leslie cries, "I hate you!", then buries herself in Blake's arms and says how desperately she wishes he were her father...which I can only describe as crazy talk from a woman who's too distraught to fully grasp what she's wishing. Over at Delta Rho, Danny is practicing his steps for when he walks down the aisle as Adam's ring-bearer. When Steven enters the room, Danny's all, "Yippee! You came back!" - but Steven tells him he really just popped by to get a shirt for the wedding, not to stay for any length of time. Danny pouts, says he has important stuff to do in his room, and runs off...and then Sammy Jo makes it clear to Steven how unhappy she is with him for needlessly abandoning their family unit, then tearfully says that she too has important stuff to do in her room. Dex runs into Alexis on his way inside the Carlton Hotel and thanks her for inviting him to the wedding. A few seconds later, Gavin pulls up on his motorcycle...and Dex looks on in disapproving dismay as Alexis hops onto the back of the bike and smugly chirps, "See you at the wedding!" before she and Gavin squeal off. LOL. That evening at the mansion, Krystle tells Blake that her trip to Wyoming was very fruitful...and a few seconds later, Sarah emerges in the corridor and happily reports that she's now on the road to recovery in terms of coping with the death of her daughter (and husband!). She thanks Krystle for all of her help, asks her to say goodbye to Kristina, then heads off with Dr. Miller...never to be seen on Dynasty again. Phew. As the Kenny Loggins' smash hit Danger Zone revvs up in the background, Gavin and Alexis zoom around Denver on his motorcycle. The two stop for dinner at a food truck called Burgers Plus, pop into an arcade to play some pinball, then boogie the rest of the night away at a dance club.
When Gavin deposits Alexis in front of the Carlton Hotel hours later, she girlishly tells him that the wind felt sooooo good on her face, and that she'd loooove to buy herself a motorcycle - as long as he'd be willing to teach her how to ride. Mmm hmm.. Gavin remarks on what a gentle, loving, misunderstood person she is under her tough ColbyCo exterior and says he'd really like to get to know her better. She saucily invites him up to her suite for a nightcap - but he declines and says he'd rather save their first romp for the second date, then motors off. The following morning at the mansion, Krystle finds a mysterious looking workman in the living room, fiddling with the telephone cord [spoiler: a bad omen]. She asks whassup with him being here, so he tells her he's with the work crew, taking measurements in preparation for the wedding. A puzzled Krystle tells him he was supposed to be finished with all that yesterday...and when he just stares back at her mutely, she turns her back on him as she telephones Alexis to ask why one of her workmen is still at the mansion. Alexis is annoyed at being woken up for something she considers so trivial, then asks to speak to the workman - but when Krystle turns around, she sees that he's silently disappeared through the French doors. Alexis snappishly advises Krystle to take something for her nerves and to never call her before 9:00am again...but Krystle just continues to stare at the open French doors, her face scrunched in concerned puzzlement.
