Recap: As Sable is smugly sashaying out of Alexis's suite, Alexis throws the framed photo of her newly lost ships in her direction and demands to know how she did it. Sable amusedly replies, "With a little help from your friends" and reveals that Hamilton Stone was the primary betrayer. Alexis concedes that she (Sable) may have won the battle, but not the war...and as Sable is leaving, Adam enters the suite. He suggests they sue Sable for oil tanker theft - but Alexis says she has zero desire to spend her days in court and would prefer to handle the matter in a more vigilante type fashion. She asks Adam if he's still friends with his old "special operations" buddy, and Adam tells her that Creighton Boyd is more a "soldier of fortune" ... and agrees to get in touch with him asap. When Jeff informs Blake that Fallon left the mansion with Sergeant Zorellli, Blake grumbles about how irked he is at her act of disloyalty, and mutters that he feels like he doesn't know her anymore...and is extra dismayed that she's getting herself tangled up in something they'll "all be sorry for". Jeff suggests he open up to Fallon about whatever it is he's been hiding from everyone this season, and correctly guesses that it centers around the tri-family mining company of yore. Apparently he had once asked his grandfather whassup with whatever secret project was going on, and his grandfather had warned that it was top secret and had to do with WWII. Jeff then tells Blake that if he needs his discreet help with anything WWII-related he should let him know. Over at Casa Pasta, Fallon and Sergeant Zorelli are smooching and enjoying breakfast in bed. When Fallon laments Blake's refusal to forgive her for coupling with the cop who wants to send him to prison, Zorelli once again whines about being demoted to desk duty and being pulled off of exciting murder cases. He declares that no way in hell is he apologizing to Blake and/or kissing the captain's ass to get his job back...then asks Fallon if she's considering going home any time soon. She tells him she doesn't want to, and the two start smooching again. While breakfasting at the mansion, Blake tells Dex he wants to talk to Gibson alone to see how much he knows about "the collection", then reminds Dex to convince Alexis to stop alleging that he murdered Roger Grimes. Dex points out that Alexis hasn't said anything about this to the police, but agrees that she needs some kind of threat/incentive to keep her lips zipped. While heading down to breakfast, Adam runs into Virginia and apologizes for leaving her so abruptly last night, and asks if they can get together later. Virginia is about to respond when she spots Dex downstairs in the vestibule with Blake. When Dex glances up at her, she defiantly tells Dex she'd loooove to see him later and gives him a cheek kiss, a move which seems to visibly trouble Dex. Adam then descends the stairs, while Virginia scuttles back to her room...and when Dex continues to worriedly glance up the stairs, Adam amusedly said, "I could call her back, Dex...if you're ready to turn the other cheek." From the second floor landing at the Carlton Hotel, Alexis spots Hamilton Stone in the lobby...so she grabs a watering can from the gardener who just happens to be walking by at that moment and pours water atop Hamilton's head. When he's all, "The fuck?", Alexis rails at him for his shitty traitorousness. As he stammers about how the situation isn't cut and dried, Sable wanders over and gleefully informs Alexis that she considers her recent purchase of the ColbyCo oil tankers as a fun sport. Alexis huffily counters that destroying a person's empire isn't sport, then calls Hamilton "a pathetic little monkey" who has backed the wrong cousin. Later in the lounge, Sable attempts to calm a rattled Hamilton, who points out that Alexis could hurt him badly after his betrayal. Sable breezily calls Alexis "all flap and no propellor" and promises to keep her cousin and her threats in check. She then pours Hamilton a glass of champagne and forces him to celebrate her sneaky purchase of ColbyCo's oil tankers. Alexis and Adam arrive at a remote industrial warehouse to meet up with Adam's handsome mercenary friend, Creighton Boyd. Creighton tells Alexis that the Bay of Natumbe is a difficult place to stage an operation of such brazenness, and warns that it could be quite dangerous. Alexis looks unfazed by the risk and agrees to take a leap of faith and trust that he'll do what she's paying him to do, coquettishly remarking, "It should be a very interesting mission." Later at ColbyCo, Alexis is irked that Dex is a no-show for their scheduled meeting...and when Adam arrives with an estimate of what Creighton wants to charge them for his mercenary services, she bellows, "I don't care about cost! I want Sable Colby destroyed!" She continues to rant about how she wants everything Sable possesses to be taken away, and for Hamilton Stone to suffer. Adam urges her to calm down, to which Alexis shrieks, "I won't rest until that woman rots in hell!" ... and when Adam asks her why she's shrieking at him, she looks over at him helplessly and blurts out, "Convenience!", which made me burst out laughing. As the two chuckle at her explosive behavior of late, she assures him she's grateful for his help...but can't help be a tad miffed about his "scattered loyalties" in continuing to work for Blake. Adam points out that she's doing the same kind of thing with Dex (e.g. whenever she asks him to sort out her problems), and derisively calls him a "wet-nosed mongrel". Alexis tells Adam to stay out of her personal Dex bidness, then changes the subject to whatever dish he can share about Creighton Boyd. Adam cautions her about asking too many questions, and that she needs to be careful...'cause even though Creighton looks like an amiable man, he's extremely dangerous. Over at Police Headquarters, Sergeant Zorelli makes a desperate appeal to the captain to reinstate him as a fully functioning cop - but the captain grumbles at him to not even think about Roger Grimes, the mysterious lake, or anything to do with Blake Carrington. He then barks at him to get out of his office without saying another word - or else he's fired. Sammy Jo is lying in her hospital bed, reading The National Inquisitor and munching on chocolates, when a young man bursts in and demands to know where "it" is. He ransacks the hospital room and rips up a stuffed bunny - until it finally dawns on him that Sammy Jo is not Elizabeth Parker, aka one of the underage girls he's been taking care of via his teenage halfway house (or whatever it is he's doing). He sheepishly apologizes to Sammy Jo for destroying her stuffed animal and promises to make it up to her...but Sammy Jo just chuckles - and somehow refrains from pointing out that him mistaking her for a teenage girl he personally knows is beyond nonsensical, even for Season 9 of this rapidly deteriorating night time soap. Back at ColbyCo, Alexis remains fixated on Dex's reported chemistry with Sable and asks him if he finds her cunty cousin attractive. Dex says he hasn't actually given it much thought, not least 'cause he's been spending all of his time helping her fix her company. When Alexis comes right out and asks him if he's ever gone to bed with Sable, Dex insists he hasn't...then angrily expresses how batshit crazy this line of questioning is, and gets up and storms out of the office. Jeff stops by Adam's office at Denver Carrington to get his signature on some paperwork...and when he remarks that he also needs Fallon's signature, Adam bitchily wishes him good luck getting her to separate herself from Zorelli long enough to sign anything. Jeff reminds him that Fallon is his family and that he shouldn't turn on his own sister...and Adam somehow takes such offence to that comment that two stunt doubles abruptly step in and proceed to resolve the conflict with a needless physical altercation. Jeff snarlingly accuses Adam of ensuring that Blake knows Fallon is regularly hooking up with Zorelli 'cause he enjoys making her look bad, and Adam yells at him to get the hell out of his office. Gibson calls Sable to tell her she has 24 hours to spring him free - otherwise he'll blab to everyone who cares that she was the person who brought him to Denver. Sable promises to do her best and explains that it's taking so long 'cause she needs to ensure that there's no connection between the two of them [an issue that's about to be entirely moot]. A few seconds later, Blake arrives at the hospital to ask Gibson why he took a dive in his lake, adding that Krystle had witnessed him there earlier this season. Gibson scoffs that she prolly wouldn't make a good witness anymore, and a furious Blake grabs the hoodlum by the collar and reminds him that, since he just tried to kill Sammy Jo, he can make his current situation very difficult for him...or not, if he agrees to cooperate. He demands to know who hired him - but Gibson keeps mum...until Blake points out that he's protecting someone who obviously doesn't give a hoot about bailing him out. Gibson mulls that over, decides 'aw fuck it', and confesses that Sable Colby was the person who brought him to Denver and hired him to scuba dive in his lake. Blake reacts to that revelation by mutely staring back at him with an expression of dismayed shock. Fallon arrives in the mansion's dining room, where Blake, Virginia, and Adam are having dinner. She tells Blake she'd like to speak with him, but he snaps, "Not now!", and Adam dickishly remarks that they missed her at the office today. When Fallon presses Blake for a one-on-one, he throws down his napkin and hurries out of the room...and when Fallon follows him and tries to force him to engage with her, he bitchily storms off. The young man who mis-identified Sammy Jo as a teenage girl returns to her hospital room and sheepishly says it's been a crazy week, then explains that he supervises a project for runaway kids, Elizabeth Parker being one of them. When Sammy Jo suddenly gets a painful cramp in her foot, the young man begins massaging it for her...and as Sammy Jo makes pleasured moaning sounds, Jeff arrives and is all, "Wha-a-at is happening?" The young man introduces himself as Tanner McBride before beating a hasty retreat, and Jeff expresses jealousy at Sammy Jo's willingness to let a complete stranger give her a pleasurable foot rub. Sergeant Zorelli is at home cooking pasta and listening to opera music when Fallon drops by. When she asks him how he's doing, he once again bitches and moans about all the filing he has to do while being demoted...so then Fallon bitches and moans about how mad Blake is at her for hooking up with a cop who wants to arrest him...and blah blah, I don't care. Blake drops by Sable's suite to chastise her for breaking his trust by hiring Gibson to infiltrate his secret lake. As Sable attempts to get a word in edgewise so she can fully explain her actions, Alexis breezes in and looks thrilled to see that the two are arguing. Alexis weirdly suggests that the two are having a love spat, murmurs, "Poor Krystle", and recalls that years ago she dealt with Blake's marital neglect by having an affair with Roger Grimes. An enraged Blake warns her to shut it before he commits an act of violence in the heat of the moment he may live to regret - a prospect Alexis seems oddly into - then wisely rushes out. Alexis points out to Sable how violently angry Blake can get, then nonsensically urges her and Blake to "enjoy each other while you still have time". Alexis returns to the industrial warehouse with a 500K downpayment (in a briefcase). She asks Creighton Boyd if danger excites him, and he saucily replies that "many things" excite him. She reminds him that if he fails this mission, she'll have to pretend she never heard of him...and he looks A-OK with that and pulls out a flask so they can toast to his success, and Alexis responds by eyeing him all seductive-like. Oh my. Adam presents Virginia with a box full of skimpy-wear and aggressively suggests she put it on on so they can engage in sexy role play, like how she used to do for Dex [despite her insisting to him that that kind of thing never happened between herself and Dex]. Virginia looks put off and yells, "What kind of man are you?!", and Adam says he's the type who looooves her past life as a teenage hooker. Virginia screams at him to get out of her room, and Adam looks genuinely befuddled by her reaction and urges her to re-consider dressing up as a slutty French maid for his penile pleasure. Blake has confided in Jeff everything about "the collection", and tells him that Sable hired Gibson to take an exploratory dive into the lake. He assumes she's working with Jason on this, and would like to somehow get in touch with him. He also assumes that Sable's connection to Gibson will keep her from yapping about the WWII secret he's desperately trying to keep under wraps - but continues to worry about Alexis being a loose cannon who could blow the shameful scandal wide open. Sable is writing Blake an I'm sorry letter when Joanna drops by her suite. She informs Sable that they now have something tangible on Fritz Heath: a 210K marker from the casino he's been racking up debt in. She says they can use it to blackmail Fritz into giving them any dirt he might have on Alexis...and a few seconds later, Dex wanders into the suite after eavesdropping on that last thing. As Sable happily squeals, "I've got her! I've finally got her!", she runs over to greet Dex and gives him a lingering smooch, which prompts Joanna to stare back at them looking jealously miffed.
