Recap: After a brief recap of the last few minutes of the Season 8 finale, where Dex and Sean are wrestling for control of Sean's gun, Dex manages to pull the trigger and put a merciful end to the revenge-fuelled misery that was Sean's life. A shaken Alexis picks up the gun and throws it across her living room, and then Dex gives her a comforting hug and tells her they need to call the police asap. In another brief recap of the Season 8 finale, Blake finds his bedroom in complete disarray, and Jeannette tells him that she saw Krystle leave a while ago. Over at Casa Lothario, Sammy Jo is formally accepting Jeff's marriage proposal while Fallon eavesdrops from the next room. Sammy Jo saucily stares at Jeff as she starts to untie her top - until she hears a noise coming from the bedroom. She's all, "The hell?" and marches over to the bedroom with a nervous Jeff in tow - but all they find is an empty room with the window wide open. Jeff quietly breathes a sigh of relief and points out to Sammy Jo that there's nothing to see here, then leans in for a smooch. Blake races around the mansion calling Krystle's name...then races back upstairs when he hears Kristina screaming from the nursery. She poutishly explains that Danny and LB had scared her while playing, then tells Blake that earlier Krystle had looked her all demented-like as she told her she was going to a place where no one could find her. Blake assures her that her mommy was just kidding around and that she loves her very much, then asks the kids to play more quietly while he aimlessly drives around town in search of his wife [who the writers somehow thought was reasonable to so abruptly be suffering from some kind of 'damaged brain' disease]. Fallon is in Jeff's laundry room, taking her sexy time squeezing back into her orange leather dress. She then sneaks out of the laundry room's separate exit - but then lowers the zipper on the front of her dress to better showcase her ample bosom, and heads back into the direction of Jeff's front door. As Jeff and Sammy Jo happily gush about their official engagement, Fallon knocks on the door and pretends that Jeff had asked her to stop by. Sammy Jo smugly informs her that she's just accepted Jeff's marriage proposal, and Fallon smirks knowingly as she mutters, "Out of one and into another", then "clarifies" that she was referring to marriage just now. She reminds Sammy Jo that she and Jeff will always remain close, and flippantly points out that she's merely going to become part of a long line of Mrs. Colbys [kinda like she herself was]. Sammy Jo tells her it'd probably be best if she left now, and Fallon sashays out and smiles coquettishly into space while she needlessly lingers in the hallway in front of Jeff's door.
Blake goes outside and asks the gardener if he's seen Krystle, and the gardener tells him, in fact, he did just see her take off in her black Rolls Royce - which completely contradicts Jeannette's account of her witnessing Krystle leave "a while ago". Regardless, Blake perks up at that tidbit and jumps into his car in an effort to track her down. Sammy Jo makes it clear to Jeff how annoyed she is by Fallon dropping by at his behest, and expresses that annoyance by shaking her bottle of champagne and spraying it all over him before angrily storming out of the apartment. Blake spots Krystle's black Rolls Royce and hits the gas to catch up with it - but naturally he's blocked by a large delivery truck that just happens to pull into the street at that moment without any possible way to manoeuvre around it. Blake dejectedly returns home and asks Jeanette if Krystle had been acting weird lately, and Jeannette tells him that one evening during the campaign she had spotted Krystle outside, wearing nothing but a thin nightgown and spacily wandering around with a strange look in her eyes...and then later stand by the reflection pond. When she asked Krystle about it the next morning, it was clear that she had no memory of acting so weird. Jeannette stares worriedly into space as she remarks, "These past few years, she hasn't been herself." Blake asks her to keep this disturbing rewriting of history on the down-low, then tells her he's expecting an important call from a Dr. Charles Hampton...and wants the call put through to him regardless of where he is or what he's doing. He then ambles around the bedroom some more, finds Krystle's appointment book, and is dismayed when he glances down at the floor and discovers a smashed photo frame featuring a photo of Krystle. Officers from the police department and coroner's office have descended upon Alexis's hotel suite to assess Sean's killing. Alexis rails at the lieutenant that she wants everyone outa here - and that she's utterly delighted Sean is dead and only wishes she'd killed him herself. Dex advises her to shut it about advertising the fact that she's down with murder and recounts to the police exactly how Sean was shot. He then suggests to Alexis that they go to Los Angeles for a few days to unwind...and when he asks the lieutenant if that would be ok, and the lieutenant's all 'sure, why the hell not enjoy an impromptu vacation after the killing a man we're currently investigating?' As the coroners wheel out Sean's body, Alexis stares at it mournfully and rhetorically asks Dex, "He really hated me, didn't he?" While Blake once again drives around town in search of Krystle, he gets a call on his car phone from Dr. Aames, an associate of Dr. Hampton. She tells Blake that Dr. Hampton is currently attending a medical conference in Chicago, and Blake's all, "But I neeeeeed to talk to him about my wife asap!" and says to pass along the message 'I think it has started, and I don't know what to do'. [How about: assuming you'd known about her brain problem, you might have considered bringing her in for an exam after witnessing her continually rubbing her head at the end of Season 8.] Over in the Carlton Hotel lounge, Adam is chiding his lawyer (William Todd) for failing to win him custody of Unnamed Baby Boy. He then rails about how no one, except for Alexis, was ever in court to support him...and also how Karen reneged on her promise to hand over the surrogate baby after he was born. William just kind of shrugs unsympathetically and says he should have considered the risks of trying to purchase a baby in this way. That said, he emphasizes to Adam how important it is for him and Dana to prove to the court that they're a loving couple, able to provide a stable home for a child...and, when Adam guzzles back a glass of scotch, William advises him to maybe lay off the booze. Adam responds by snarling, "Listen to me pal. You look after the paperwork. I'll look after myself" and orders himself another scotch.
Across the country in Los Angeles, Alexis is at the wheel of a jeep, driving recklessly down a winding road...while Dex (who's in the passenger seat) dementedly eggs her on by pressing his foot atop hers on the gas. She shrieks at him to stop, slams on the brakes, and bursts out of the jeep and storms off. She screeches at Dex about how deeply angry she is about having a husband who tried to kill her, left her company in ruins, and openly cheated on her with a tart like Leslie. She then rightly admits how monumentally stupid it was of her to 1) marry a weird man she barely knew, and 2) hand over control of ColbyCo to this weird man. Dex agrees with the general idiocy of her decision-making through much of Season 8, and the two get all canoodly as he reminds her that she needs him 'cause he's the only man on the planet who's not afraid of her. She pulls him close and breathily concedes, "Oh Dex, I've been such a fooooool." Blake stops in at the drug rehabilitation center to see if Krystle had kept her standing appointment with the charity, but dejectedly leaves when there's no sign of her. One of the center's residents rushes out after him and says he swears he saw Krystle a few minutes ago walking on a nearby street. Blake perks up at that and gallops a few blocks over...and when he spots a woman with a blonde bob smooching a strange man, he rushes over and grabs at her while crying out, "Krystle!" - but it turns out to be a woman wearing an unflattering white bob of a wig. The man she's with recognizes Blake from his gubernatorial campaign and asks for an autograph, which Blake awkwardly obliges. Over in an L.A. hotel, Alexis calls Fallon to assure her she's A-OK after nearly being killed by Sean...and that she's enjoying a vacay with Dex in sunny California. After she ends the call, Dex sashays out of the bathroom in nothing more than a towel - mmm hmm.. - and gets all smoochy-romantic with Alexis as he sexily lets the towel fall to the floor. Back at the mansion, Adam drunkenly rails to Fallon about how pissed off he still is at Dana and her betrayal - just as Dana enters the room and stonily tells him they need to talk. In private. Upstairs. Over at campaign headquarters, Jeff is working the phones, telling Jim Rayford's aide that he strongly believes the election was rigged and is therefore pushing for a recount. After the call, a weary looking Blake tells Jeff that Krystle has mysteriously disappeared and that he'd like him to call up his friend at police headquarters and ask him to launch a discrete search for her while somehow telling no one, 'cause he doesn't want the public or his own family to know about Krystle's sudden mental health crisis.
Dana is packing up her stuff when Adam staggers into the bedroom. When he sees her open suitcase, he implores her not to leave 'cause of how much he neeeeeds her, to which she bitterly retorts, "To get your child back." When he tries to canoodle her, she flatly tells him that his date-rapey brand of hanky panky no longer works on her. He translates her disinterest in any sexual activity to mean she's definitely up for a quasi-forcible romp...and so he hugs her tightly and starts peeling off her clothes. She weakly protests as he manoeuvres her towards the bed - but she soon looks very much into it and starts kissing him back. Ick. After nightfall, Dana quietly gets dressed, then hovers over Adam and kisses his cheek before whispering, "Goodbye, Adam." She exits the bedroom clutching her suitcases and runs into Fallon on her way out - but declines to explain that she's leaving Adam and Carrington manor forever. A few seconds later, Blake and Jeff arrive...and Jeff and Fallon share a private chuckle about almost nearly getting caught in the act by Sammy Jo earlier, while seeming utterly oblivious about the kind of garbage people they've suddenly turned into. Sammy Jo is wandering around her Delta Rho house, leaving messages for Jeff to call her back and exploring the spare room in search of Steven when she thought she heard a noise - but of course he's not there 'cause of his secret departure from Denver in the Season 8 finale. Danny (now being played by a different kid) ambles into the living room. He tells his mom he wants to wait for his daddy to come and tuck him in, and Sammy Jo suggests they make some hot chocolate and wait for Steven to drop by...which he clearly won't, 'cause apparently the shitbag fled town without even bothering to say goodbye to his own son. Dr. Hampton returns Blake's call and urges him to bring Krystle into his office asap so that he can examine her. Blake explains that that might be a problem 'cause she's currently missing, and Dr. Hampton scrunches his face concernedly and says, "You have to. She could be capable of almost anything" ... and a distressed Blake moans, "Oh God.." Back in L.A., Alexis and Dex return to their hotel room acting drunk and amorous. Alexis purrs to Dex about how much she loooooves him, breathily declaring him her best friend in the entire world, and "the only man who's man enough to give me my space". The two topple onto the carpet, where Alexis sings before promptly passing out. Dex rolls his eyes and good-naturedly murmurs, "Some enchanted evening" before covering her with his blazer.
Early the next morning, Sammy Jo goes over to Jeff's apartment to admonish him for not returning any of her phone messages, so he explains that he was very busy with Blake all day and all night. Sammy Jo scrunches her face concernedly and correctly assumes that this busyness must have involved the recent disappearance of Krystle...and Jeff perks up when she tells him that Krystle had a tendency to drive up to a certain lake cabin whenever she wants to be alone. Dex is enjoying a bubble bath when Alexis ambles into the bathroom and apologizes for drunkenly passing out the night before. She coquettishly points out that she's wide awake now, and Dex responds by pulls her into the tub with him, silk bathrobe and all. Mmm hmm.. When Blake returns to the mansion, Fallon chides him for not sharing with her whatever problems are clearly anguishing him. She implores him to not shut her out. Jeff and Sammy Jo arrive at the cabin Krystle likes to chill out in. When they enter the property, they notice a fresh set of tire tracks. Back at the mansion, Blake is browsing through his/Krystle's wedding album. He looks particularly concerned when he comes across one photo with Krystle's head ripped out of the picture. Sammy Jo finds Krystle's diary lying on the ground and remarks that she must be close by 'cause she's never without her treasured journal. A few seconds later, they spot a body floating in the lake, prompting Sammy Jo to cry, "Oh no! Krystle!" Thanks for reading!
