The power struggle at Falcon Crest reaches new heights when Richard's wine venture is literally poured down the drain by mysterious saboteurs. Convinced either Chase or Angela is responsible, Richard confronts them with wild accusations that culminate in a hilariously shocking moment – Richard swings at Chase, who deftly ducks, sending Angela crashing to the ground with an accidental punch to the face. This physical altercation becomes the catalyst for an unexpected alliance as the three vineyard partners finally piece together that Jean-Louis De Bercy is actually Johan Reedman's son and the mastermind behind the cartel targeting their business. Meanwhile, the romantic entanglements throughout Tuscany Valley grow increasingly complex. Terry's desperate attempt to win the "Manimal's" affection by shoveling horse manure in designer clothing reveals the depths of her misguided devotion. Cole and Melissa learn their son Joseph is being teased at preschool because they aren't married, accelerating their wedding plans and creating an unexpected moment when Lance surprisingly supports their annulment rather than obstructing it. In another corner of the valley, Lorraine discovers she's pregnant with Lance's baby, setting the stage for inevitable conflict with her stepfather Richard.>The episode takes a darker turn when Emma unwittingly reveals crucial information about hidden tunnels under Falcon Crest to De Bercy, who already has Julia captive in his basement. As the families finally recognize the Nazi's son has been monitoring Angela's private conversations through an eagle statue in her study, the stakes escalate dramatically. The hour closes with Angela facing a gun-wielding kidnapper at her door with the shocking revelation that Julia is alive – proving once again that in wine country, family secrets and hidden treasures lead to danger at every turn. Will Angela's unflinching bravery save her daughter, or is she walking into a trap from which not even the formidable matriarch can escape?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
owner, you do not shovel horks, dookie, especially
on a hork.
It's upsetting.
We're gonna pray for terry,hopefully.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, welcome, or welcome back
to silk floor, the officialgathering place for newbies,
novices and og diehard fans ofthe golden age of primetime.
(00:22):
I'm your host, jett, viewingand reviewing the Sophia
Sudsia's primetime storyline of1984-1985.
So, whether you're new to thisor true to this, sit back and
enjoy.
Tell the kids it's time to playoutside or, out of sight, tell
they no questions, suggestionsor concerns for the next 25 to
35 minutes.
Everyone else in air shock.
(00:43):
You can be cool, you can becalm or you can collect your
things and get out because weare watching our story.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, this is Soap Lord.
Welcome back party people toanother fun-filled edition of
(01:07):
soap.
Lore can't wait to jump intothis one.
We are about two-thirds of theway through falcon crest.
For whatever reason, falconcrest feels like they had a lot
to say.
Perhaps the writers got into alittle bit of a disagreement.
We have 30 episodes this season.
I knew it was more than theothers.
I had forgotten how manyexactly.
So that means I'm probablygoing to have to do shorter
(01:30):
episodes, but a little bit morefrequently to get through this
season.
If you've been listening sincethe beginning or perhaps you
went back and listened you'llnotice that I kind of like to
keep the three major ones beingFalcon Crest, dallas and Dynasty
on the same episode, or atleast the same little bunch of
episodes during the same season.
(01:50):
Just to, originally I wascomparing Apple to Apples.
I don't really feel the need todo that anymore, but sometimes
the stories overlap.
We've seen some borrowing ofstorylines, borrowing of titles,
but you know what?
There is nothing new under thesun and so long as you put your
spin on it, I don't really care.
If I've seen it 15 times, I'mgonna watch it again if it's
(02:12):
good.
Today we also have a wonderfulpiece of fan mail from a diehard
fan.
I always love to hear from youguys, I love to hear from
everybody, but I especially lovea diehard fan within this genre
, because we're talking 30 plusyears after the fact.
If you can still sit down andwatch something again after 30
(02:32):
years, you know it's good good.
That being said, I was at mymother in law's house the other
day and she was watching themonsters and I instantly got a
flashback.
Rest in peace to my grandma.
We used to watch the monstersin the morning and she would
make pancakes.
I thought herman monster wasthe coolest and I always felt so
bad for him that man couldnever just sit down and eat his
breakfast without some sort ofchaos erupted.
(02:54):
And he was always solevel-headed.
No pun intended, all right, guys, go ahead and pour yourself up
something bubbly and bright.
I am trying.
What is this?
The Limoncello from La Croix,la Croix, la Croix.
My name is not Jacqueline, so Iam not pronouncing this as it
should be.
(03:14):
I love when summer is aroundthe corner because all the new
flavors start to come out.
Let's go on and crack this openy'all.
I'm curious.
Pour yourself up somethingbubbly and bright and let's jump
into season 4, episode 18 offalcon crust, the show.
Now, you know what that tasteslike.
I'm not a huge, I'm more of asavory person, and I think I
(03:39):
drink sparkling water becauseit's not heavily flavored, so
this one is light.
However, it tastes like like avery faint buttercream, icing in
every way but the sugar.
I don't know how that.
I don't know how to describethat.
All right, we got a little fanmail today.
Um, this is from my new friendbob.
(04:02):
Bob says knots is, hands down,my favorite show of all time.
I'm currently listening to yourseason two Knott's Landing
episodes, so I'm behind andprobably telling you information
that you already.
You now already heard.
But here goes just in case youhaven't heard these factoids.
It goes on to say that CrystalLair Place is in Granada Hill is
the name of the cul-de-sac.
(04:23):
I don't know if I knew the namefor a few episodes back.
One of the listeners let meknow to try to send pictures.
Unfortunately that's when Idiscovered that you can't
actually send them through textbut figured out that that was an
actual place.
I don't recall if the name wasin that piece of fan mail.
I don't think it was.
But Bob goes on to say say,this is so fun.
(04:46):
Okay, so this is crystal crystalair place in granada hills, the
name of the cul-de-sac whichthe outside scenes were shot.
It's called sea view circle onthe show it's not even close to
the ocean.
That overhead shot from theopening titles was spliced in
1979.
Much of the development wasstill being built, says ET was
probably filmed nearby.
(05:07):
The homeowners were apparentlypaid very well for the use of
their properties and theinconvenience the home at the
end of the cul-de-sac, which ismuch smaller than it appears on
screen.
It's on the same side as Garyand Val's house was apparently
very pissed that his placewasn't being used and that he
was missing out on some goodchecks rightfully so.
So he purposely parked hiseyesore of an rv in front of his
(05:31):
house or in the driveway, andit's like he says, once you see
it, you can't unsee it.
It's been part of the landscapefor years.
Thank you, I did not know all of.
I've gotten a few little bitsand pieces.
One of my listeners told methat the sequence in the
beginning is going to changefrom season to season and I can
see that now on season three butit is one of my favorite parts
(05:55):
of Knott's Landing is at the endof the show where they do the
overhead shot.
I just like looking at theneighborhood.
I like that they zoom out.
But I'm going to pay a lot moreattention now and I can't wait
to see this eyesore of an RV.
I don't blame them.
Up until recently I believedthat this was on some back lot
at MGM or something.
Zoom studios buy up big swathsof land, big parcels of land, so
(06:20):
they can build and tear down.
Build and tear down differentsets.
That way you can keep comingback, because I mean, I never
thought about it being in aneighborhood, but I read
somewhere recently that the homeon Breaking Bad recently went
for sale, I believe.
But the family would just kindof clear out and let them come
in and shoot whatever scenesthey needed to.
So I guess that could be alittle bit of an inconvenience,
(06:43):
especially circa 1979, but I'massuming they're only shooting
the outside of the houses.
Another thing I need to startpaying a little bit more
attention to is where everyoneis in the cul-de-sac.
I don't think I have it downjust yet, but it seems like,
starting from the west side ofthe road, it would be.
(07:03):
Is it Val and Gary?
Then, oh, who is Val's neighbor?
I think it's Val and Gary,karen and Sid, laura and Richard
it seems like Kenny and Jinderlive across the street, I think.
And then it seems like Abbylives on the other side of gosh.
I think she lives on the otherside of Laura and, um, richard,
(07:26):
or she lives a little furtherdown.
Either way, I like Abby'soutside the best.
I like I feel like she's gotthose really long steps.
I don't know what you call them.
They're not very high, but sheseems to have a little bit more
of a patio stair step hybrid.
I like the front of her house alot.
Thank you for the tidbit.
Any news you guys have thatisn't a spoiler, obviously.
(07:48):
Let me know.
I love this.
I don't have any proof of this,but if I had to venture a guess
, I would say that the writerson this show are closeted
novelists, because this story issuper rich, super intricate.
There's so many moving parts tothis.
Let's do a really quick review.
The whole entire premise ofseason four is that there is
(08:08):
hidden treasure underneathfalcon crest.
That's right, hidden treasurethat is unknown to anyone other
than the nazi child who blew uphis father after he, after he
rejected his birthday present,or something.
Jean-louis de Blanc de Bleu deBibbidi-Boo has strong-armed his
way into Tuscany Valley.
(08:29):
He punked one of the neighbors,made her sell her vineyard and
her house.
He is then living in it.
He then bought some cheap realestate downtown, put up a land
development office, spends hisdays painting women's boobs and
listening to all of Angela'sconversations via this big
soaring eagle statue.
I say I mean it's big for asmall room Listen to all of
(08:52):
Angela's very private, veryvillainy plans.
So all that's happening, maggiefinds out that she is adopted,
her birth mother, sweetestlittle woman, who has been on
the mend as far as recoveringfrom her gambling addiction.
She really don't want to botheranybody.
I suppose Maggie's adoptedmother has passed on, but her
(09:15):
father is an archaeologist whois digging up bones or something
to the effect, somewhereoutside of Falcon Crest.
Angela also found out she hadbrand new family members, by way
of a friend of an italiansister named francesca, who did
a tarantula tap dance all overthem when she felt disrespected
because they were fightingamongst each other as family.
(09:35):
It was a disgrace, it wasembarrassing.
She got on the first thingsmoking back to italy with a
check, of course, um, not beforestealing richard's heart.
Richard also has an additionalfamily member, sort of it is his
former stepdaughter, who hestill calls his daughter.
She has moved into town.
She is a college co-ed.
Obviously she's in love withLance, who has had a change of
(09:58):
heart.
He wants to be working, earninghis own keep because he stays
on kicked out terms with hisgrandmama, so he has to have a
job.
At this point he is back onangela's good side, back on the
wheel.
But you know who's not bad girlmeli mel.
Bad girl meli mel has reformed,she has changed her way.
She is now on the verge on thefast track of being mrs cole,
(10:21):
giab birdie, raising her son,his proper father, in a proper
home that is no longer occupiedby his deceased wife, shania
linda.
Okay, am I missing anything?
Oh, of course I am.
So julia, the murderous winescientist with a heart of gold,
she's been through it.
She uh, came back from the deadvia a tunnel underneath spring
(10:44):
house, moved into a tin cancamper with her booski, only to
be abducted by jean louis, akathe nazi child, aka the bed.
I don't forget his name.
Still with me.
Okay, richard has somehow comeinto the family business.
He is oh, oh, oh, oh oh.
(11:06):
By way of seduction, richard isintroduced as the third partner
at Falcon Crest and he isdisrespecting the brand by
making a cheap table wine, alsocalled lighter fluid by the
Gioberti.
This is all coming to a head.
He is on the fast track becausehe is about business, not
heritage.
Chase is still chasing afterpeople who may or may not have
(11:31):
set him up.
When the whole plane went down,he was blamed.
I forgot that was at thebeginning of this season.
Plane goes down.
He was blamed for it by Angela.
All that stuff has smoothedover at this point.
We are finally getting to thepoint where people are starting
to disappear.
Chase knows about the cartel.
His homeboy gets murdered.
(11:52):
I suppose we haven't.
Actually I didn't see a body,so I'm not going to believe that
.
And Jean-Louis Dibble Dabble isnot only holding Julia hostage
but he is trying to seduce thewhimsical and wonderful Emma.
All right, I think that's justabout everything.
Let's jump into this episode.
I want to go ahead and touchbase on the bit players this
(12:14):
episode, because there's not aton going on with them.
Bit players on this episodewould be Aunt Terry.
It would be the manimal who'sin it the whole time, but he's
just basically Angela's henchmanand good old baby girl.
Lorraine Terry has it in herhead that she needs to match up
with the manimal.
Now, the manimal?
(12:35):
Okay, the more he's on the show, the less of a hottie I realize
he is Physically.
Yes, he looks like Kendall.
He's always going to begorgeous.
However, I buy him as even lessof a heartthrob than Cole.
Let me be very clear.
(12:55):
Cole is good looking.
I totally understand the appeal,especially if you're young, him
popping off being, oh, he's sodangerous, even though he's not.
He's really a very good boy.
He's actually never beenanything but a very, very good
boy.
He just happens to be very easyto blame and because he's got a
hairpin trigger it's easy toget wrapped up in some of his
(13:18):
folly, even though it's notreally ever his fault.
So far he's pretty much freeand clear.
But I can understand the appealthere with the minimal.
The fact that he's pullinganybody is a little bit shocking
to me.
The fact that he think he haswhat it takes to seduce and keep
bad girl Melly Mel is laughable.
(13:39):
We all know the bad girls arethe ones choosing.
You don't choose them, theychoose you.
She chose cole, she eventuallychose lance.
I get it, but the manimal justhe just won't let it go.
And it's so weird to me thatangela thinks this is a good
pairing because she feels likebad girl meli mel would make a
(13:59):
wonderful political wife.
On what planet?
That's how I know she secretlyhates him.
He's probably young andannoying to her.
She wants a good.
She wants an 87 year old manwho ain't gonna give her any lip
, not this young man who'salways looking in mirrors
flipping his hair around.
She ain't got time for all that.
She keeps her curls tight.
She expects her lawyer's hairto be tight anyway, aunt terry.
(14:22):
Aunt terry's self-esteem issomewhere in the pits of hell.
I don't know why.
This woman doesn't understandmuch of anything.
They're not saying be good orbe good at it.
She's not good or good at it.
She has been extracted from thebad girls club because she's
not meet the qualifications.
That was an oversight on mypart.
It won't happen again.
(14:42):
Terry shows up to the manimalsranch and she's coming to seduce
him.
But she comes in her.
I am presentable.
I could be somebody's wifeoutfit.
It is actually very cute.
I am starting to realize that Idon't like 80s clothes because
I was not introduced to thefiner section of 80s clothes.
(15:03):
80s designer clothes arefantastic.
Well, don't quote me on that.
So far, so good, on Dynasty andon Falcon Crest.
Mid-80s clothing is really,really good, but of course
they're not wearing off the rack.
I'm sure Terry shows up easilywearing four hundred dollars
(15:24):
worth of clothes.
She's got her hot rollers done,her hair's did it's nice and
beauty pageant big.
She's got it sprayed back.
She came to to seduce or try toseduce, or at least be like hey,
look at me, manimal.
Do you know what this walkingtalking marionette doll does to
her?
He hands her a pitchfork, justlike that picture of those two
(15:46):
old people.
You know the one, and there'slike a pitchfork in the middle.
He hands her a pitchfork, tellsher to start shoveling dookie.
He got a hot date with uh, Ilove leather pam, aka richard's
old secretary.
Slash, main, squeeze, slashwhatever.
She was placeholder, I don'tknow.
She was gone once francescacame up in there.
He hands terry a pitchfork.
(16:07):
And do you know that she beganshoveling doo-doo and hay in her
400 outfit to impress themanimal?
Terry, terry, terry.
This is why I'm saying, as a bigsister, it is maggie's job to
get her little sister together.
Maybe you don't know she's beena hooker.
Why is her life so different?
First and foremost, what isthat about?
(16:28):
Maybe Maggie dodged a geneticbullet, maybe not?
Something definitely happenedto Terry when Maggie left home.
But anyway, terry, you are amultimillionaire now you are a
vineyard owner.
You do not shovel horse dookie,especially on a horse.
It's upsetting.
(16:49):
We're gonna pray for terry.
Hopefully she can learn to bebad, or we need another.
We need another millionaire toswoop in and get her this.
This is just a mess.
Terry has been ping pong backand forth between every single
person on this show, with theexception of her sister.
Angela has used her chase.
Can't stand her, for real, forreal.
The manimal is I don't knowwhat he's doing now.
(17:13):
She's doing free manual labor.
Terry, terry, go home, terry.
It might be time up for terryto pack it up.
She should have married,married the Florida man again at
this rate.
I wonder when he's getting outof rehab?
I kind of miss him being on theshow.
God, I hope he's really inrehab and not off the side of a
(17:33):
mountain or something.
It was some of Richard'squote-unquote friends who picked
him up after all.
Speaking of richard, ah, sweetlittle lorraine lorraine,
lorraine, lorraine, you knowwhat it is, I don't even have to
say it.
Let's do a little.
Let's do a little quiz, shallwe?
What happens when a good girlgoes to college and her rich,
(17:58):
super powerful, slightlyvillainous stepdad owns a big
company.
Stepdad has a little bit of anenemy who happens to be six foot
three baby oil down BrooksBrothers, brothers Brooks, suit
wearing.
What do you think is going tohappen.
You know what happened.
She's going to fall head overheels in love with him,
especially when the stepdadtells her not to step to him
(18:21):
because, I mean, nature's goingto take its course.
So she is once again pleadingher case while Richard is eating
these little pastries Forgiveme, I don't remember the name,
but there's some sort of jam orsomething in the middle of it he
is wolfing them down like dang.
You don't want any of these,these are so good.
Of course you know he has hischaser, his milk.
I thought she was grossed outbecause he was woofing them down
(18:49):
.
He wouldn't shut up about him.
And maybe she's also thinkingwhy does this grown man love
milk so much?
It's kind of weird.
But instead she's just kind ofswallowing back.
Whatever's going on with her.
She ends up at the doctor alittle bit later on, where they
finally announce that she isindeed perigo.
No surprise, paray go.
No surprise there.
Let's be real.
We're all adults here, right?
Let's be real, don't get ittwisted.
In 1984, you could be sitting200 yards downwind from Lorenzo
(19:17):
Llamas, aka Lance Cumson, andget pregnant.
The dude is exuding studliness,obviously.
Obviously, that was bound tohappen, especially since
Lorraine keeps sneaking off tomeet him at all hours of the
night in hotel motels andholiday inns.
At least she knows.
Well, she doesn't know this,but we, the audience, know he
(19:37):
was a great dad to baby Joseph,so, hey, why not have at it?
I don't think this is going tobear well with the rest of the
people on the show.
I think Angela is going to loseher absolute mind, as is
Richard.
He might man Lance is going toend up on a desert island
somewhere, kidnapped in abasement or something.
But you know what, the more themerrier and baby Joseph needs a
(19:59):
friend.
But speaking of baby Joseph, heis having trouble in super
duper pre-k.
I don't know what kind ofschool a two-year-old goes to,
but he's a rich two-year-old.
So I really, I really wouldn'tknow anything about that.
Baby joseph's teachers reach outto cole and they're concerned
because the other toddlers aremaking fun of him.
(20:20):
Now why would you make fun ofthis precious baby, this
precious angel?
Probably because he's in thecorner doing taxes or doing
something super adult and weird.
He's probably making coffee,walking around like an old man
with his hands in his pocket,admiring the grass, checking the
doorknob, stuff like that,making sure, getting rid of the
squeak, spraying WD-40 on hinges, stuff like that.
(20:41):
No, no, no, no.
Those little monsters areteasing joseph because his mommy
and daddy aren't married.
I didn't realize that childrenwere so morally superior.
First off, what kind ofconversations are we having over
fruit cups if y'all don't takeit well?
Well, anyway, this.
This just can't be.
His parents, melissa and cole,decide that they need to get
(21:03):
married sooner rather than later.
Now, both of them are justcoming off of two marriages.
I don't see any reason to makea big fuss.
You're already shacked up.
You already got the baby.
Go down to the courthouses,make it official like the
referee whistle.
However, that can't be.
This will not happen until hermarriage to Lance is annulled.
Now we're all expecting this tobe a big problem.
(21:24):
I certainly did, and Angela hassomehow become privy to this
information, although this was avery private conversation
inside of Cole and Melissa'sbedroom, which we see a lot of
this season.
She calls Lance into her officeand she says hey, kid, I need
you to stall, I need you to takeas long as possible.
Make Melissa's life asdifficult as you possibly can.
(21:45):
Please don't divorce her.
Excuse me, don't get yourmarriage annulled.
He's like sure.
What does he do?
He walks down to the churchhimself personally, talks to
somebody, gets the paperwork,brings it to Cole and Melissa by
the episode's end and says, hey, I already filled out my part.
Fill out by the episode's endand says, hey, I already filled
(22:05):
out my part.
Fill out your part, unless youwant me to forge it for you.
Like he's cool.
Are we amicable?
Absolutely, do they like eachother?
No, but I mean, what does shehave that he wants?
At this point, nothing.
What does he have that shewants?
At this point, nothing.
There's no point even pissingoff Angela, because both of them
are liable to be put in and outof the wheel at least 14 more
times before this series is over.
So let's not stretch out anyother part of our lives, let's
(22:29):
just get this done and you canmarry goody two shoes over here.
Now we get, ladies andgentlemen, to the main event.
This is the best, best, best,best part of this episode.
Episode from the very beginningwas to be the sole owner and
(22:49):
operator of falcon crest.
Chase swooped in after hisfather went off the side of a
cliff, ruined all those plans,but she has come to semi sort of
accept chase, but richard isyet another obstacle.
What you have is three verydifferent people with very
different visions of thisvineyard.
And on today, richard hasinvited his partners, his
(23:13):
brother and angela, out to somewarehouses.
They can bear witness.
Uh, I guess the first.
He has a truck full of wine,just keep that in mind.
So angela shows up and she keepsthe old lady energy.
You know an old auntie.
She's just mad.
It don't matter what you say,you can see, man, you look
pretty today.
I guess I should you drug meout of the house.
Can't believe you brought me tothis, but if you didn't, can't
(23:33):
believe you didn't invite me.
There is no winning here.
Luckily richard don't give adamn.
So angela pulls up in the gothamcity villain.
Chase and Cole pull up in mydad's 1984 Chevy.
Richard is glowing.
Actually, for those of you notwatching, you need to get to a
TV with the quickness.
Richard and Chase look okay.
(23:55):
All the dudes in this scenelook extra good.
I don't know if they got somenew conditioner.
I don't know if there was a newstylist, I can't quite put my
finger on it, but they look morealive and I'm like is it
because they're outside innatural light?
Everybody looks good.
You're realizing, if not forthe first time, one of the first
times.
Okay, this is why they're onthe soap operas.
(24:16):
You already know how I feelabout Chase.
Chase looks extra extra finethis episode.
I'm sorry, let me get back ontrack.
Um, yes, angela is irritatedthat she is.
She's been drug out of herhouse.
She has on her tuesday furinstead of her tv fur.
She had no idea there weregoing to be photographers here,
so she's pissed about that.
Richard is not letting any ofthis get to him again.
(24:38):
He is a businessman.
He is going to present thisbusiness.
He understands the press.
Or they open the door to thewarehouse in a very dramatic
fashion.
A big old mack truck comespulling out with a tank filled
to the tippy top of wine and, asI'm saying this out loud, hmm,
okay, I didn't really thinkabout this before now, in 1984,
(25:04):
85, where would that wine go?
Because it's in the same sortof trucks that delivers gas
today.
I don't know where that wouldgo.
I've seen this with milk, soperhaps it goes into like a
larger vessel and then isbottled.
And because they won't allowhim to bottle his quote-unquote
lighter fluid at Falcon Crest, Iguess he had to find somewhere
(25:26):
else to take it.
I'm very confused.
Damn Okay, we're not going toget.
I'm not going to get hung up onthat.
Let's keep the story moving.
Just know that there is an18-wheeler carrying around
Richard's lighter, fluid, cheaptable wine.
Let Chase and Angela tell it.
So, within a few minutes ofdeparting the warehouse, you see
this standard issue 1980sblacked out, getaway van filled
(25:52):
with kidnappers or, in this case, wine nappers.
They trap the driver of the 18wheeler, snatch them up out of
the front seat, rough them up alittle bit, steal the truck and
I'm like, oh my gosh, this is aheist.
They're going to take the truck.
They're going to ask for moneyto get it back.
No, no, no.
They drive promptly to what Ithought was a children's park
but I guess it was just theopening to some sewer or some
(26:14):
sort of drainage system and theyrelease all of the wine.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, it's been a very long
time since I've done so littletheater, but I'd like for you to
imagine this little piece offan fiction In my heart of
hearts.
This story is so much better Ifthey're dropping this wine off
at a park.
(26:34):
Can you imagine how lit theplay dates would have been that
day.
Can you imagine all those verytired soccer moms and stay at
home dads chilling at the park?
Their kids are running amok.
One of them is downwind fromthe little valley where they
drop the wine.
One of the moms smells itbecause you know moms know what
wine smells like.
She goes over there with thebaby Timmy's little thermos the
(26:58):
old school ones I used to have,and like back in the day where
you could take the top off andit was a cup, she starts
scooping it in the.
It could happen.
Listen, if you watch this show,it's very much.
It's not like in dirt, it's onthis, like concrete runoff again
(27:20):
.
I thought it was a park in myhead.
That's what happened.
So all the moms had a damn goodday at the park.
Anyway, this does not go overwell with Richard Once he
realizes that his truck has beensnatched up and all the
contents of said truck have beenemptied into some drainage
system, feeding all thealligators, rats and ninja
(27:41):
turtles that live in the sewersystem at Tuscanyany valley.
He's pissed.
As a matter of fact, he'spissed and he wants to point
fingers.
He's like I know exactly whodid this, somebody who either
has a bad perm or looks likethey have a bad perm.
Matter of fact, I'm callingboth of them right now.
I'm cussing both of them outtoday, right now leather pants.
Pam is like I don't know richhe's.
(28:02):
I don't want to hear it.
I know it was him.
So keep in mind that the truck,the truck is still kind of
parked.
Catawampers behind Richard,angela and Chase show up.
Angela comes back in thebilling car, chase back in my
dad's Chevy.
Richard's like yeah, hey, thankyou.
Thank you for showing up,making time of your busy
(28:22):
schedule.
I thought you'd want to see themess you made.
Chase and Angela have no ideawhat he's talking about.
She's like oh, I mean, did youpark your truck like that so you
could age your wine?
Like what is this?
Chase walks up and he's likedid somebody really pour all
your stuff down the drain?
It seems like a likely story.
I'm paraphrasing here.
Oh, you're really on your AlPacino today because you sound
like you.
(28:43):
You seem like you really don'tknow, and Chase is like I don't,
but I do know what it feelslike have to pour a lot of wine
down the drain and then he kindof sniggles like he made a dad
joke and Angela's like you,really didn't Stop talking boy.
Angela is just as lovely as agentleman in this scene.
She is in her Tuesday fur fur,which is a gray wool coat with a
(29:06):
fur collar, and she's wearinggloves.
This is all in wine country,california.
I didn't know it was thischilly all year round, but they
seem to wear a lot of clothes onthis episode.
Everybody's wearing a whitesweater or some some combination
of sweaters in either white orred.
Back to richard and chase.
So richard's like you know what.
Chase, this is real cute.
You can drop the act.
I know it was.
I know it was one of the two ofy'all.
I know one of you curly coifconvicts did this because you're
(29:28):
jealous of my insatiableappetite for success and my
successful wine.
If you have the audacity topour down the drain, then you're
going to stand in front of me,in front of God and everybody,
and tell me you didn't do thisto my face.
Chase is like calm down.
You were.
Your imagination is out ofcontrol at this point.
So richard wants smoke.
He did not call them all theway down here, for absolutely
(29:48):
nothing.
He's like you know what didn'tyour son almost go to jail for
killing somebody.
And chase is like oh, no, hell,no, oh, you want that kind of
smoke, you want that problemtoday.
Don't ever bring up my kidagain.
Don't you ever bring up my kidagain.
Angela is not helping.
By the way, richard's like well, he was pretty pissy the other
day.
Your son was awfully madbecause his champagne went down
the drain and I was like, yeah,I mean yeah, he was you right,
(30:15):
cole.
Then reiterate, excuse me.
Chase reiterates keep my son'sname out your mouth.
Chase sort of bumps richard withhis chest.
Richard's like this today isnot the day I will not get
bullied.
He revs back, reaches his fistback to nevada.
He's gonna not chase his head.
Smooth off his shoulders.
Revs back.
(30:37):
Now, chase, you know he was inthe army, he's a pilot, he's got
those reflexes we all need.
He easily ducks.
He easily ducks richard punch,oh my gosh.
(30:59):
Easily takes a punch andunfortunately somebody gets
punched in the face.
The camera's on Richard.
Then Richard just goes.
Oh my God, I'm done.
Now Chase raises up from thesquatting position.
(31:23):
They turn around.
Tell me why.
Angela, lord, lord, they gother.
They got her.
My girl is 10 feet away, slungup against the side of some sort
of cement structure.
He cold cock, angie, how areyou going to knock out an old
(31:49):
lady now?
I'm going to hell for laughingwith you, oh my gosh.
Okay, back in like the late 90s,early 2000s I think I've spoken
on this show about it just alittle bit there was this
(32:10):
daytime soap opera that used tocome on right after days of our
lives called passions.
I believe they have a podcastnow.
I really want to listen to it,but I really want to watch
passions.
I can't seem to find itanywhere.
Anyway, on passions, it's thislittle town, right, same old
story rich family, poor family.
(32:32):
There's intermingling upsetfamilies, there's villains,
there's good guys, there'severything in between.
But this show had a specialtwist because there was a witch,
a 300 year old witch namedtabitha, who loved quiche and
stirring up trouble.
Tabitha had a trusty sidekick,which was a quote-unquote doll
(32:53):
that she carried around with her, named timmy.
Now timmy would come to lifeall the time and it's just so
weird because Tabitha was kindof known as a weird, eccentric
lady about town who walkedaround with this doll.
But Timmy could come to life,and I think the actor that
(33:18):
played Timmy it's hard to tell.
Since he was a doll, I think heprobably would have been been.
Let's say he's between like 16,let's say between like 14 and
like 20, so he's a young man,child, older child, whatever.
So she could have easily justlet him be alive and walk around
.
But for whatever reason theyman, sometimes Timmy would have
(33:48):
to fall back at the doll for himand when he did he would just
kind of slump over just like aChucky doll.
That's what they got my girl,angie, out here looking like
tossed, like Timmy.
The funniest part of all of thisis that their response was like
it wasn't like oh my god, let'sget her to a hospital.
Chase.
Chase was like dang it rich,I'm gonna get in trouble because
(34:15):
I ducked.
I know I'm gonna get in trouble, sure enough.
Next thing they show my girl onthe couch with one of those hot
water bags or ice bags you knowthe ones you put in your
freezer.
It's made of silicone with alittle top on with a little
twisty knob on top.
She's holding it to her chinand the man was like you know,
you can sue them, you can suerichard.
(34:37):
That was clearly assault, butangie goes well, it was chase
who ducked.
I'm like now, how this man, whyare his reflexes on trial here,
richard, I guess, is sort offeeling himself, or just maybe
he feels bad, for he's like youknow.
You really should go to ahospital and check that out.
She's basically like boy bye.
I grew up with a brother.
(34:58):
I used to knock him out.
He knocked me out one time.
I knocked him out twice.
Please, you hit like a woman,hit like a girl.
Rich, tell you, went toboarding school.
She's acting all tough.
I just hate that.
The implication is that Chaseshould have been a man and taken
the punch.
But I mean, eh, eh, no sense ineverybody being knocked out.
(35:19):
Who knew Rich had it in him?
I guess milk does a body goodand he is all of six, four.
So hey, that was going to hurt,even if he wasn't that strong.
But that's neither here northere.
Angie decides to put this on icetemporarily.
We will revisit this at anothertime, but in the meantime, in
(35:42):
between time, it is abundantlyclear that there is something
going on.
Someone wants us pitted againsteach other.
We all have this business atplay.
Chase got poisoned, you gotdrained.
It's only a matter of timebefore they come for me who
could want us out of businesslike this.
This is a little confusingbecause I don't binge them all
(36:04):
at the same time, but we, theaudience, have known about
DeBercy as his name this wholetime.
We've known he's JohanRebmann's son.
We know Johan Rebmann is gone.
We know they're all connectedto the cartel.
Chase didn't know that for along time.
Neither did Angie.
It is at this moment thatRichard comes clean about the
cartel, johan Rebmann and hisaffiliation with his mother.
(36:31):
Jacqueline angela, of course,scoffs like dang, your mother
wasted no time or talent, didshe?
Mind you, she's got a nice packon her chin.
Well, chase is like rich, itcan't be johan reban because
he's dead, but we heard he has ason.
So we're looking for someonewho's much younger and you know
he's running the cartel, as faras I can tell.
And Rich was like well, how doyou know that you're working
(36:53):
with the government?
They don't really get into abunch of the details, but it's
all coming out.
Angie's like okay, cool, so thecartel is possibly here.
We're looking for a younger guy.
Why would he want Falcon Crest?
Chase says I mean it's legit,it's power, it's wealth.
I mean it's, it's a perfectfront.
If you think about it, this iswhere the manimal's talents come
(37:13):
through.
He not only has a wonderfulhead of hair, he says well,
angie, the only person who'sbeen wanting to buy you out is
de bercy, aka little reedman.
And she says well, it can't behim.
Didn't you look him up?
Didn't you go through hisrecord?
Manimal says well, you know nowthat I think about it, maybe it
was a little bit too clean.
Nobody that wealthy is thatsqueaky clean.
(37:35):
So I mean, it probably is him.
And through deductive reasoningand light investigation
throughout the rest of theepisode, kind of put two and two
together, come to theconclusion that it's probably
the bursey slash reedman.
But now before he has awonderful afternoon on his yacht
in a crisp white sweater with awonderful and whimsical emma.
(37:56):
Now emma gets the jaw jack andyou know she's so poetic and
romantic.
She starts talking abouttunnels and stuff under her, how
she believes her sister's alive, but no one else believes her.
And he's like well, why wouldyou say that?
Mind you, he's also pretendingto be the psychiatrist.
She tells him well, we have allthese tunnels under Falcon
(38:17):
Crest.
Now, this is music to histreasure hunting ears.
Let the games begin he's likeoh, do tell.
She's like well, you know, backin the day, back to prohibition
and stuff, people used to haveto do some funny things, do
something strange for a littlechange.
Well, no, that's probably nothow that saying is supposed to
go, but basically there weretunnels built underground so
(38:40):
that booze could be transportedto and fro.
Probably they're even olderthan that.
So he's like OK, like, okay,bet, that's wonderful.
For no other reason than I needto say this.
I don't think I've ever fullyexpressed this yohan reedman's
son, aka de bercy, aka dr psycho, loves to draw this particular
(39:02):
woman and her boobs all the time.
He'll draw for a little bit, heHe'll make her hold an apple,
then she has to take off her top.
I didn't realize she was alsohis secretary until the end of
this episode where she shows upon Angela's door.
But let me back up just alittle bit.
Deversi comes to Angela's homeafter he spent some time with
(39:22):
Emma on his yacht.
Angie tells him don't come backhere, no more, I don't like you
, I don't want you around mydaughter.
Don't ever show up here again.
You know how this man takesrejection.
I'd be terrified to piss himoff if I knew his history, which
they don't.
Angela doesn't give a damn.
So DeBercy Reidman goes back tohis house.
He tells Hopless Tanya thesecretary hey, I need you to go
(39:49):
back over there and handle it.
He then goes down to the cellaror wherever he's keeping Julia
and he's like why didn't youtell me how you really escaped?
She's like what are you talkingabout?
There was a tunnel, like I mean, I didn't think it was that
important.
The fact that I'm like here iswhat I thought was the best part
of the story.
But I mean sorry, I didn'tinclude all the logistics.
How do do you know about that?
Anyway, only my uncle and mylittle sister know about that.
Well, my episodes end.
(40:13):
The Falcon Crest gang has fullydecided.
You know what it's, debercy.
Debercy is Johan Riemann's son.
Unfortunately for them.
They have this entireconversation in Angie's study,
next to the unassumingeavesdropping giant sculpture in
her corner.
Topless Tanya the secretary isin.
(40:33):
Given her marching order, shegoes over to the house Falcon
Press that is and she pretendsto be a legal assistant for the
manimal.
Oh, mr Reardon wanted me topick up some paperwork here.
Charlie goes to get the door.
Angie's there with him andshe's like oh Charlie, I can
handle this.
She thinks a woman has somedirt, that she's dug up on
someone.
Only this woman reaches intoher brown purse and starts
(40:56):
brandishing a weapon.
Only she's holding it palm sideup, like she's handing the gun
over to Angela.
Now Angie is at first she'ssmiling, looking at her.
She looks down at the gun andsays the most gangster thing
I've ever heard on this show.
Let me make sure I paint thispicture.
Well, topless tanya is holdingthe guy, the guns catawampers,
(41:16):
in her hand, palm up.
This is an invitation to spendthe evening with gustav reidman.
Angie, with a full gun, pointed, pointed at her gut, rolls her
eyes, scoffs and says over mydead body, in other words,
(41:36):
you're going to have to shoot me.
If you're going to pull thatthing out, you better use it and
shoot me.
But then, topless Tanya's likewell, well, there's a special
guest, your daughter julia.
End scene.
Angie looks all shocked.
I find this a little.
This is the first time falconcrest has kind of gone
(41:57):
completely off script.
It's not unusual in a soap forthe the characters to.
They have to kind of quicklyget over things, they have to
quickly move on.
But this season they startedout painting her as a grieving
mother and a grieving widow toPhilip, when in actuality she
never showed either one of them.
Very much emotion seemed likeJulia just kind of get on her,
(42:21):
got on her nerves because shewas weak.
She was a means to an endbecause of Lance.
But there has been a little bitof mommy guilt this season.
But now Herm-Ra, god has aweapon on her.
Is she going to follow thiswoman?
Unfortunately, I think she is.
Angela clearly doesn't fight.
(42:41):
If Charlie was there I thoughtmaybe he could take this girl
out, but there's no threat.
Richard, chase and the manimalare headed to San Francisco in
the back of a limo.
So at this point in this series, everything is out.
Richard has confessed to beingin the cartel to everyone.
Chase asked him you know howlong have you been in cahoots
(43:03):
with these people?
Richard claims he let go ofthem years ago.
That is not true.
It was like a year ago.
So Chase starts putting two andtwo together.
He's like so did they havesomething to do with the plane
crash?
It kind of seems like they did.
Richard was like yeah, andChase is like well, ain't this
some really?
Richard goes.
Well, listen, listen.
The manimal and Angela, werethe ones who were content to set
(43:25):
you up.
I never set you up.
Let the record reflect.
I was on your side the wholetime.
So now it's all out in the open,all the secrets that we know,
as the audience, the families atFalcon Crest know.
They're now trying to tiptoearound to get the drop on
Reidman before he realizes thatthey know who he is.
Only they are unaware of thespy tactics and that topless
(43:48):
tanya is kidnapping angela as wespeak.
There was a lot of elderlyabuse in this episode.
However, if anybody can handleit, it's big ang.
Can't wait to see what happenson the next episode.
I forgot.
There's one little part.
Chase is telling Maggieeverything over dinner and she's
(44:12):
like wait, wait, wait, tell meagain, tell me again.
So you ducked and Richardknocked out Angela, not them
being messy over dinner.
But that is how the cookiecrumbles.
I'm excited.
We're 10 more episodes, Ibelieve.
A little less than 10.
A little more than 10 episodes.
Um, julia's still alive.
(44:32):
Julia's still running around.
She hasn't actually doneanything yet.
So I can't wait to see whathappens on the next episode.
In the meantime, in betweentime, keep an eye out the next
time you're at the park for aplay date.
You never know when a tanker isgonna spill 25 000 gallons of
lighter fluid.
Booze, stay hydrated, staymoisturized, mind your own
(44:53):
business and keep all of yourdrama on tv.
Thank you, bye.
owner, you do not shovel horks, dookie, especially
on a hork.
It's upsetting.
We're gonna pray for terry,hopefully.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, welcome, or welcome back
to silk floor, the officialgathering place for newbies,
novices and og diehard fans ofthe golden age of primetime.
(00:22):
I'm your host, jett, viewingand reviewing the Sophia
Sudsia's primetime storyline of1984-1985.
So, whether you're new to thisor true to this, sit back and
enjoy.
Tell the kids it's time to playoutside or, out of sight, tell
they no questions, suggestionsor concerns for the next 25 to
35 minutes.
Everyone else in air shock.
(00:43):
You can be cool, you can becalm or you can collect your
things and get out because weare watching our story.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, this is Soap Lord.
Welcome back party people toanother fun-filled edition of
(01:07):
soap.
Lore can't wait to jump intothis one.
We are about two-thirds of theway through falcon crest.
For whatever reason, falconcrest feels like they had a lot
to say.
Perhaps the writers got into alittle bit of a disagreement.
We have 30 episodes this season.
I knew it was more than theothers.
I had forgotten how manyexactly.
So that means I'm probablygoing to have to do shorter
(01:30):
episodes, but a little bit morefrequently to get through this
season.
If you've been listening sincethe beginning or perhaps you
went back and listened you'llnotice that I kind of like to
keep the three major ones beingFalcon Crest, dallas and Dynasty
on the same episode, or atleast the same little bunch of
episodes during the same season.
(01:50):
Just to, originally I wascomparing Apple to Apples.
I don't really feel the need todo that anymore, but sometimes
the stories overlap.
We've seen some borrowing ofstorylines, borrowing of titles,
but you know what?
There is nothing new under thesun and so long as you put your
spin on it, I don't really care.
If I've seen it 15 times, I'mgonna watch it again if it's
(02:12):
good.
Today we also have a wonderfulpiece of fan mail from a diehard
fan.
I always love to hear from youguys, I love to hear from
everybody, but I especially lovea diehard fan within this genre
, because we're talking 30 plusyears after the fact.
If you can still sit down andwatch something again after 30
(02:32):
years, you know it's good good.
That being said, I was at mymother in law's house the other
day and she was watching themonsters and I instantly got a
flashback.
Rest in peace to my grandma.
We used to watch the monstersin the morning and she would
make pancakes.
I thought herman monster wasthe coolest and I always felt so
bad for him that man couldnever just sit down and eat his
breakfast without some sort ofchaos erupted.
(02:54):
And he was always solevel-headed.
No pun intended, all right, guys, go ahead and pour yourself up
something bubbly and bright.
I am trying.
What is this?
The Limoncello from La Croix,la Croix, la Croix.
My name is not Jacqueline, so Iam not pronouncing this as it
should be.
(03:14):
I love when summer is aroundthe corner because all the new
flavors start to come out.
Let's go on and crack this openy'all.
I'm curious.
Pour yourself up somethingbubbly and bright and let's jump
into season 4, episode 18 offalcon crust, the show.
Now, you know what that tasteslike.
I'm not a huge, I'm more of asavory person, and I think I
(03:39):
drink sparkling water becauseit's not heavily flavored, so
this one is light.
However, it tastes like like avery faint buttercream, icing in
every way but the sugar.
I don't know how that.
I don't know how to describethat.
All right, we got a little fanmail today.
Um, this is from my new friendbob.
(04:02):
Bob says knots is, hands down,my favorite show of all time.
I'm currently listening to yourseason two Knott's Landing
episodes, so I'm behind andprobably telling you information
that you already.
You now already heard.
But here goes just in case youhaven't heard these factoids.
It goes on to say that CrystalLair Place is in Granada Hill is
the name of the cul-de-sac.
(04:23):
I don't know if I knew the namefor a few episodes back.
One of the listeners let meknow to try to send pictures.
Unfortunately that's when Idiscovered that you can't
actually send them through textbut figured out that that was an
actual place.
I don't recall if the name wasin that piece of fan mail.
I don't think it was.
But Bob goes on to say say,this is so fun.
(04:46):
Okay, so this is crystal crystalair place in granada hills, the
name of the cul-de-sac whichthe outside scenes were shot.
It's called sea view circle onthe show it's not even close to
the ocean.
That overhead shot from theopening titles was spliced in
1979.
Much of the development wasstill being built, says ET was
probably filmed nearby.
(05:07):
The homeowners were apparentlypaid very well for the use of
their properties and theinconvenience the home at the
end of the cul-de-sac, which ismuch smaller than it appears on
screen.
It's on the same side as Garyand Val's house was apparently
very pissed that his placewasn't being used and that he
was missing out on some goodchecks rightfully so.
So he purposely parked hiseyesore of an rv in front of his
(05:31):
house or in the driveway, andit's like he says, once you see
it, you can't unsee it.
It's been part of the landscapefor years.
Thank you, I did not know all of.
I've gotten a few little bitsand pieces.
One of my listeners told methat the sequence in the
beginning is going to changefrom season to season and I can
see that now on season three butit is one of my favorite parts
(05:55):
of Knott's Landing is at the endof the show where they do the
overhead shot.
I just like looking at theneighborhood.
I like that they zoom out.
But I'm going to pay a lot moreattention now and I can't wait
to see this eyesore of an RV.
I don't blame them.
Up until recently I believedthat this was on some back lot
at MGM or something.
Zoom studios buy up big swathsof land, big parcels of land, so
(06:20):
they can build and tear down.
Build and tear down differentsets.
That way you can keep comingback, because I mean, I never
thought about it being in aneighborhood, but I read
somewhere recently that the homeon Breaking Bad recently went
for sale, I believe.
But the family would just kindof clear out and let them come
in and shoot whatever scenesthey needed to.
So I guess that could be alittle bit of an inconvenience,
(06:43):
especially circa 1979, but I'massuming they're only shooting
the outside of the houses.
Another thing I need to startpaying a little bit more
attention to is where everyoneis in the cul-de-sac.
I don't think I have it downjust yet, but it seems like,
starting from the west side ofthe road, it would be.
(07:03):
Is it Val and Gary?
Then, oh, who is Val's neighbor?
I think it's Val and Gary,karen and Sid, laura and Richard
it seems like Kenny and Jinderlive across the street, I think.
And then it seems like Abbylives on the other side of gosh.
I think she lives on the otherside of Laura and, um, richard,
(07:26):
or she lives a little furtherdown.
Either way, I like Abby'soutside the best.
I like I feel like she's gotthose really long steps.
I don't know what you call them.
They're not very high, but sheseems to have a little bit more
of a patio stair step hybrid.
I like the front of her house alot.
Thank you for the tidbit.
Any news you guys have thatisn't a spoiler, obviously.
(07:48):
Let me know.
I love this.
I don't have any proof of this,but if I had to venture a guess
, I would say that the writerson this show are closeted
novelists, because this story issuper rich, super intricate.
There's so many moving parts tothis.
Let's do a really quick review.
The whole entire premise ofseason four is that there is
(08:08):
hidden treasure underneathfalcon crest.
That's right, hidden treasurethat is unknown to anyone other
than the nazi child who blew uphis father after he, after he
rejected his birthday present,or something.
Jean-louis de Blanc de Bleu deBibbidi-Boo has strong-armed his
way into Tuscany Valley.
(08:29):
He punked one of the neighbors,made her sell her vineyard and
her house.
He is then living in it.
He then bought some cheap realestate downtown, put up a land
development office, spends hisdays painting women's boobs and
listening to all of Angela'sconversations via this big
soaring eagle statue.
I say I mean it's big for asmall room Listen to all of
(08:52):
Angela's very private, veryvillainy plans.
So all that's happening, maggiefinds out that she is adopted,
her birth mother, sweetestlittle woman, who has been on
the mend as far as recoveringfrom her gambling addiction.
She really don't want to botheranybody.
I suppose Maggie's adoptedmother has passed on, but her
(09:15):
father is an archaeologist whois digging up bones or something
to the effect, somewhereoutside of Falcon Crest.
Angela also found out she hadbrand new family members, by way
of a friend of an italiansister named francesca, who did
a tarantula tap dance all overthem when she felt disrespected
because they were fightingamongst each other as family.
(09:35):
It was a disgrace, it wasembarrassing.
She got on the first thingsmoking back to italy with a
check, of course, um, not beforestealing richard's heart.
Richard also has an additionalfamily member, sort of it is his
former stepdaughter, who hestill calls his daughter.
She has moved into town.
She is a college co-ed.
Obviously she's in love withLance, who has had a change of
(09:58):
heart.
He wants to be working, earninghis own keep because he stays
on kicked out terms with hisgrandmama, so he has to have a
job.
At this point he is back onangela's good side, back on the
wheel.
But you know who's not bad girlmeli mel.
Bad girl meli mel has reformed,she has changed her way.
She is now on the verge on thefast track of being mrs cole,
(10:21):
giab birdie, raising her son,his proper father, in a proper
home that is no longer occupiedby his deceased wife, shania
linda.
Okay, am I missing anything?
Oh, of course I am.
So julia, the murderous winescientist with a heart of gold,
she's been through it.
She uh, came back from the deadvia a tunnel underneath spring
(10:44):
house, moved into a tin cancamper with her booski, only to
be abducted by jean louis, akathe nazi child, aka the bed.
I don't forget his name.
Still with me.
Okay, richard has somehow comeinto the family business.
He is oh, oh, oh, oh oh.
(11:06):
By way of seduction, richard isintroduced as the third partner
at Falcon Crest and he isdisrespecting the brand by
making a cheap table wine, alsocalled lighter fluid by the
Gioberti.
This is all coming to a head.
He is on the fast track becausehe is about business, not
heritage.
Chase is still chasing afterpeople who may or may not have
(11:31):
set him up.
When the whole plane went down,he was blamed.
I forgot that was at thebeginning of this season.
Plane goes down.
He was blamed for it by Angela.
All that stuff has smoothedover at this point.
We are finally getting to thepoint where people are starting
to disappear.
Chase knows about the cartel.
His homeboy gets murdered.
(11:52):
I suppose we haven't.
Actually I didn't see a body,so I'm not going to believe that
.
And Jean-Louis Dibble Dabble isnot only holding Julia hostage
but he is trying to seduce thewhimsical and wonderful Emma.
All right, I think that's justabout everything.
Let's jump into this episode.
I want to go ahead and touchbase on the bit players this
(12:14):
episode, because there's not aton going on with them.
Bit players on this episodewould be Aunt Terry.
It would be the manimal who'sin it the whole time, but he's
just basically Angela's henchmanand good old baby girl.
Lorraine Terry has it in herhead that she needs to match up
with the manimal.
Now, the manimal?
(12:35):
Okay, the more he's on the show, the less of a hottie I realize
he is Physically.
Yes, he looks like Kendall.
He's always going to begorgeous.
However, I buy him as even lessof a heartthrob than Cole.
Let me be very clear.
(12:55):
Cole is good looking.
I totally understand the appeal,especially if you're young, him
popping off being, oh, he's sodangerous, even though he's not.
He's really a very good boy.
He's actually never beenanything but a very, very good
boy.
He just happens to be very easyto blame and because he's got a
hairpin trigger it's easy toget wrapped up in some of his
(13:18):
folly, even though it's notreally ever his fault.
So far he's pretty much freeand clear.
But I can understand the appealthere with the minimal.
The fact that he's pullinganybody is a little bit shocking
to me.
The fact that he think he haswhat it takes to seduce and keep
bad girl Melly Mel is laughable.
(13:39):
We all know the bad girls arethe ones choosing.
You don't choose them, theychoose you.
She chose cole, she eventuallychose lance.
I get it, but the manimal justhe just won't let it go.
And it's so weird to me thatangela thinks this is a good
pairing because she feels likebad girl meli mel would make a
(13:59):
wonderful political wife.
On what planet?
That's how I know she secretlyhates him.
He's probably young andannoying to her.
She wants a good.
She wants an 87 year old manwho ain't gonna give her any lip
, not this young man who'salways looking in mirrors
flipping his hair around.
She ain't got time for all that.
She keeps her curls tight.
She expects her lawyer's hairto be tight anyway, aunt terry.
(14:22):
Aunt terry's self-esteem issomewhere in the pits of hell.
I don't know why.
This woman doesn't understandmuch of anything.
They're not saying be good orbe good at it.
She's not good or good at it.
She has been extracted from thebad girls club because she's
not meet the qualifications.
That was an oversight on mypart.
It won't happen again.
(14:42):
Terry shows up to the manimalsranch and she's coming to seduce
him.
But she comes in her.
I am presentable.
I could be somebody's wifeoutfit.
It is actually very cute.
I am starting to realize that Idon't like 80s clothes because
I was not introduced to thefiner section of 80s clothes.
(15:03):
80s designer clothes arefantastic.
Well, don't quote me on that.
So far, so good, on Dynasty andon Falcon Crest.
Mid-80s clothing is really,really good, but of course
they're not wearing off the rack.
I'm sure Terry shows up easilywearing four hundred dollars
(15:24):
worth of clothes.
She's got her hot rollers done,her hair's did it's nice and
beauty pageant big.
She's got it sprayed back.
She came to to seduce or try toseduce, or at least be like hey,
look at me, manimal.
Do you know what this walkingtalking marionette doll does to
her?
He hands her a pitchfork, justlike that picture of those two
(15:46):
old people.
You know the one, and there'slike a pitchfork in the middle.
He hands her a pitchfork, tellsher to start shoveling dookie.
He got a hot date with uh, Ilove leather pam, aka richard's
old secretary.
Slash, main, squeeze, slashwhatever.
She was placeholder, I don'tknow.
She was gone once francescacame up in there.
He hands terry a pitchfork.
(16:07):
And do you know that she beganshoveling doo-doo and hay in her
400 outfit to impress themanimal?
Terry, terry, terry.
This is why I'm saying, as a bigsister, it is maggie's job to
get her little sister together.
Maybe you don't know she's beena hooker.
Why is her life so different?
First and foremost, what isthat about?
(16:28):
Maybe Maggie dodged a geneticbullet, maybe not?
Something definitely happenedto Terry when Maggie left home.
But anyway, terry, you are amultimillionaire now you are a
vineyard owner.
You do not shovel horse dookie,especially on a horse.
It's upsetting.
(16:49):
We're gonna pray for terry.
Hopefully she can learn to bebad, or we need another.
We need another millionaire toswoop in and get her this.
This is just a mess.
Terry has been ping pong backand forth between every single
person on this show, with theexception of her sister.
Angela has used her chase.
Can't stand her, for real, forreal.
The manimal is I don't knowwhat he's doing now.
(17:13):
She's doing free manual labor.
Terry, terry, go home, terry.
It might be time up for terryto pack it up.
She should have married,married the Florida man again at
this rate.
I wonder when he's getting outof rehab?
I kind of miss him being on theshow.
God, I hope he's really inrehab and not off the side of a
(17:33):
mountain or something.
It was some of Richard'squote-unquote friends who picked
him up after all.
Speaking of richard, ah, sweetlittle lorraine lorraine,
lorraine, lorraine, you knowwhat it is, I don't even have to
say it.
Let's do a little.
Let's do a little quiz, shallwe?
What happens when a good girlgoes to college and her rich,
(17:58):
super powerful, slightlyvillainous stepdad owns a big
company.
Stepdad has a little bit of anenemy who happens to be six foot
three baby oil down BrooksBrothers, brothers Brooks, suit
wearing.
What do you think is going tohappen.
You know what happened.
She's going to fall head overheels in love with him,
especially when the stepdadtells her not to step to him
(18:21):
because, I mean, nature's goingto take its course.
So she is once again pleadingher case while Richard is eating
these little pastries Forgiveme, I don't remember the name,
but there's some sort of jam orsomething in the middle of it he
is wolfing them down like dang.
You don't want any of these,these are so good.
Of course you know he has hischaser, his milk.
I thought she was grossed outbecause he was woofing them down
(18:49):
.
He wouldn't shut up about him.
And maybe she's also thinkingwhy does this grown man love
milk so much?
It's kind of weird.
But instead she's just kind ofswallowing back.
Whatever's going on with her.
She ends up at the doctor alittle bit later on, where they
finally announce that she isindeed perigo.
No surprise, paray go.
No surprise there.
Let's be real.
We're all adults here, right?
Let's be real, don't get ittwisted.
In 1984, you could be sitting200 yards downwind from Lorenzo
(19:17):
Llamas, aka Lance Cumson, andget pregnant.
The dude is exuding studliness,obviously.
Obviously, that was bound tohappen, especially since
Lorraine keeps sneaking off tomeet him at all hours of the
night in hotel motels andholiday inns.
At least she knows.
Well, she doesn't know this,but we, the audience, know he
(19:37):
was a great dad to baby Joseph,so, hey, why not have at it?
I don't think this is going tobear well with the rest of the
people on the show.
I think Angela is going to loseher absolute mind, as is
Richard.
He might man Lance is going toend up on a desert island
somewhere, kidnapped in abasement or something.
But you know what, the more themerrier and baby Joseph needs a
(19:59):
friend.
But speaking of baby Joseph, heis having trouble in super
duper pre-k.
I don't know what kind ofschool a two-year-old goes to,
but he's a rich two-year-old.
So I really, I really wouldn'tknow anything about that.
Baby joseph's teachers reach outto cole and they're concerned
because the other toddlers aremaking fun of him.
(20:20):
Now why would you make fun ofthis precious baby, this
precious angel?
Probably because he's in thecorner doing taxes or doing
something super adult and weird.
He's probably making coffee,walking around like an old man
with his hands in his pocket,admiring the grass, checking the
doorknob, stuff like that,making sure, getting rid of the
squeak, spraying WD-40 on hinges, stuff like that.
(20:41):
No, no, no, no.
Those little monsters areteasing joseph because his mommy
and daddy aren't married.
I didn't realize that childrenwere so morally superior.
First off, what kind ofconversations are we having over
fruit cups if y'all don't takeit well?
Well, anyway, this.
This just can't be.
His parents, melissa and cole,decide that they need to get
(21:03):
married sooner rather than later.
Now, both of them are justcoming off of two marriages.
I don't see any reason to makea big fuss.
You're already shacked up.
You already got the baby.
Go down to the courthouses,make it official like the
referee whistle.
However, that can't be.
This will not happen until hermarriage to Lance is annulled.
Now we're all expecting this tobe a big problem.
(21:24):
I certainly did, and Angela hassomehow become privy to this
information, although this was avery private conversation
inside of Cole and Melissa'sbedroom, which we see a lot of
this season.
She calls Lance into her officeand she says hey, kid, I need
you to stall, I need you to takeas long as possible.
Make Melissa's life asdifficult as you possibly can.
(21:45):
Please don't divorce her.
Excuse me, don't get yourmarriage annulled.
He's like sure.
What does he do?
He walks down to the churchhimself personally, talks to
somebody, gets the paperwork,brings it to Cole and Melissa by
the episode's end and says, hey, I already filled out my part.
Fill out by the episode's endand says, hey, I already filled
(22:05):
out my part.
Fill out your part, unless youwant me to forge it for you.
Like he's cool.
Are we amicable?
Absolutely, do they like eachother?
No, but I mean, what does shehave that he wants?
At this point, nothing.
What does he have that shewants?
At this point, nothing.
There's no point even pissingoff Angela, because both of them
are liable to be put in and outof the wheel at least 14 more
times before this series is over.
So let's not stretch out anyother part of our lives, let's
(22:29):
just get this done and you canmarry goody two shoes over here.
Now we get, ladies andgentlemen, to the main event.
This is the best, best, best,best part of this episode.
Episode from the very beginningwas to be the sole owner and
(22:49):
operator of falcon crest.
Chase swooped in after hisfather went off the side of a
cliff, ruined all those plans,but she has come to semi sort of
accept chase, but richard isyet another obstacle.
What you have is three verydifferent people with very
different visions of thisvineyard.
And on today, richard hasinvited his partners, his
(23:13):
brother and angela, out to somewarehouses.
They can bear witness.
Uh, I guess the first.
He has a truck full of wine,just keep that in mind.
So angela shows up and she keepsthe old lady energy.
You know an old auntie.
She's just mad.
It don't matter what you say,you can see, man, you look
pretty today.
I guess I should you drug meout of the house.
Can't believe you brought me tothis, but if you didn't, can't
(23:33):
believe you didn't invite me.
There is no winning here.
Luckily richard don't give adamn.
So angela pulls up in the gothamcity villain.
Chase and Cole pull up in mydad's 1984 Chevy.
Richard is glowing.
Actually, for those of you notwatching, you need to get to a
TV with the quickness.
Richard and Chase look okay.
(23:55):
All the dudes in this scenelook extra good.
I don't know if they got somenew conditioner.
I don't know if there was a newstylist, I can't quite put my
finger on it, but they look morealive and I'm like is it
because they're outside innatural light?
Everybody looks good.
You're realizing, if not forthe first time, one of the first
times.
Okay, this is why they're onthe soap operas.
(24:16):
You already know how I feelabout Chase.
Chase looks extra extra finethis episode.
I'm sorry, let me get back ontrack.
Um, yes, angela is irritatedthat she is.
She's been drug out of herhouse.
She has on her tuesday furinstead of her tv fur.
She had no idea there weregoing to be photographers here,
so she's pissed about that.
Richard is not letting any ofthis get to him again.
(24:38):
He is a businessman.
He is going to present thisbusiness.
He understands the press.
Or they open the door to thewarehouse in a very dramatic
fashion.
A big old mack truck comespulling out with a tank filled
to the tippy top of wine and, asI'm saying this out loud, hmm,
okay, I didn't really thinkabout this before now, in 1984,
(25:04):
85, where would that wine go?
Because it's in the same sortof trucks that delivers gas
today.
I don't know where that wouldgo.
I've seen this with milk, soperhaps it goes into like a
larger vessel and then isbottled.
And because they won't allowhim to bottle his quote-unquote
lighter fluid at Falcon Crest, Iguess he had to find somewhere
(25:26):
else to take it.
I'm very confused.
Damn Okay, we're not going toget.
I'm not going to get hung up onthat.
Let's keep the story moving.
Just know that there is an18-wheeler carrying around
Richard's lighter, fluid, cheaptable wine.
Let Chase and Angela tell it.
So, within a few minutes ofdeparting the warehouse, you see
this standard issue 1980sblacked out, getaway van filled
(25:52):
with kidnappers or, in this case, wine nappers.
They trap the driver of the 18wheeler, snatch them up out of
the front seat, rough them up alittle bit, steal the truck and
I'm like, oh my gosh, this is aheist.
They're going to take the truck.
They're going to ask for moneyto get it back.
No, no, no.
They drive promptly to what Ithought was a children's park
but I guess it was just theopening to some sewer or some
(26:14):
sort of drainage system and theyrelease all of the wine.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, it's been a very long
time since I've done so littletheater, but I'd like for you to
imagine this little piece offan fiction In my heart of
hearts.
This story is so much better Ifthey're dropping this wine off
at a park.
(26:34):
Can you imagine how lit theplay dates would have been that
day.
Can you imagine all those verytired soccer moms and stay at
home dads chilling at the park?
Their kids are running amok.
One of them is downwind fromthe little valley where they
drop the wine.
One of the moms smells itbecause you know moms know what
wine smells like.
She goes over there with thebaby Timmy's little thermos the
(26:58):
old school ones I used to have,and like back in the day where
you could take the top off andit was a cup, she starts
scooping it in the.
It could happen.
Listen, if you watch this show,it's very much.
It's not like in dirt, it's onthis, like concrete runoff again
(27:20):
.
I thought it was a park in myhead.
That's what happened.
So all the moms had a damn goodday at the park.
Anyway, this does not go overwell with Richard Once he
realizes that his truck has beensnatched up and all the
contents of said truck have beenemptied into some drainage
system, feeding all thealligators, rats and ninja
(27:41):
turtles that live in the sewersystem at Tuscanyany valley.
He's pissed.
As a matter of fact, he'spissed and he wants to point
fingers.
He's like I know exactly whodid this, somebody who either
has a bad perm or looks likethey have a bad perm.
Matter of fact, I'm callingboth of them right now.
I'm cussing both of them outtoday, right now leather pants.
Pam is like I don't know richhe's.
(28:02):
I don't want to hear it.
I know it was him.
So keep in mind that the truck,the truck is still kind of
parked.
Catawampers behind Richard,angela and Chase show up.
Angela comes back in thebilling car, chase back in my
dad's Chevy.
Richard's like yeah, hey, thankyou.
Thank you for showing up,making time of your busy
(28:22):
schedule.
I thought you'd want to see themess you made.
Chase and Angela have no ideawhat he's talking about.
She's like oh, I mean, did youpark your truck like that so you
could age your wine?
Like what is this?
Chase walks up and he's likedid somebody really pour all
your stuff down the drain?
It seems like a likely story.
I'm paraphrasing here.
Oh, you're really on your AlPacino today because you sound
like you.
(28:43):
You seem like you really don'tknow, and Chase is like I don't,
but I do know what it feelslike have to pour a lot of wine
down the drain and then he kindof sniggles like he made a dad
joke and Angela's like you,really didn't Stop talking boy.
Angela is just as lovely as agentleman in this scene.
She is in her Tuesday fur fur,which is a gray wool coat with a
(29:06):
fur collar, and she's wearinggloves.
This is all in wine country,california.
I didn't know it was thischilly all year round, but they
seem to wear a lot of clothes onthis episode.
Everybody's wearing a whitesweater or some some combination
of sweaters in either white orred.
Back to richard and chase.
So richard's like you know what.
Chase, this is real cute.
You can drop the act.
I know it was.
I know it was one of the two ofy'all.
I know one of you curly coifconvicts did this because you're
(29:28):
jealous of my insatiableappetite for success and my
successful wine.
If you have the audacity topour down the drain, then you're
going to stand in front of me,in front of God and everybody,
and tell me you didn't do thisto my face.
Chase is like calm down.
You were.
Your imagination is out ofcontrol at this point.
So richard wants smoke.
He did not call them all theway down here, for absolutely
(29:48):
nothing.
He's like you know what didn'tyour son almost go to jail for
killing somebody.
And chase is like oh, no, hell,no, oh, you want that kind of
smoke, you want that problemtoday.
Don't ever bring up my kidagain.
Don't you ever bring up my kidagain.
Angela is not helping.
By the way, richard's like well, he was pretty pissy the other
day.
Your son was awfully madbecause his champagne went down
the drain and I was like, yeah,I mean yeah, he was you right,
(30:15):
cole.
Then reiterate, excuse me.
Chase reiterates keep my son'sname out your mouth.
Chase sort of bumps richard withhis chest.
Richard's like this today isnot the day I will not get
bullied.
He revs back, reaches his fistback to nevada.
He's gonna not chase his head.
Smooth off his shoulders.
Revs back.
(30:37):
Now, chase, you know he was inthe army, he's a pilot, he's got
those reflexes we all need.
He easily ducks.
He easily ducks richard punch,oh my gosh.
(30:59):
Easily takes a punch andunfortunately somebody gets
punched in the face.
The camera's on Richard.
Then Richard just goes.
Oh my God, I'm done.
Now Chase raises up from thesquatting position.
(31:23):
They turn around.
Tell me why.
Angela, lord, lord, they gother.
They got her.
My girl is 10 feet away, slungup against the side of some sort
of cement structure.
He cold cock, angie, how areyou going to knock out an old
(31:49):
lady now?
I'm going to hell for laughingwith you, oh my gosh.
Okay, back in like the late 90s,early 2000s I think I've spoken
on this show about it just alittle bit there was this
(32:10):
daytime soap opera that used tocome on right after days of our
lives called passions.
I believe they have a podcastnow.
I really want to listen to it,but I really want to watch
passions.
I can't seem to find itanywhere.
Anyway, on passions, it's thislittle town, right, same old
story rich family, poor family.
(32:32):
There's intermingling upsetfamilies, there's villains,
there's good guys, there'severything in between.
But this show had a specialtwist because there was a witch,
a 300 year old witch namedtabitha, who loved quiche and
stirring up trouble.
Tabitha had a trusty sidekick,which was a quote-unquote doll
(32:53):
that she carried around with her, named timmy.
Now timmy would come to lifeall the time and it's just so
weird because Tabitha was kindof known as a weird, eccentric
lady about town who walkedaround with this doll.
But Timmy could come to life,and I think the actor that
(33:18):
played Timmy it's hard to tell.
Since he was a doll, I think heprobably would have been been.
Let's say he's between like 16,let's say between like 14 and
like 20, so he's a young man,child, older child, whatever.
So she could have easily justlet him be alive and walk around
.
But for whatever reason theyman, sometimes Timmy would have
(33:48):
to fall back at the doll for himand when he did he would just
kind of slump over just like aChucky doll.
That's what they got my girl,angie, out here looking like
tossed, like Timmy.
The funniest part of all of thisis that their response was like
it wasn't like oh my god, let'sget her to a hospital.
Chase.
Chase was like dang it rich,I'm gonna get in trouble because
(34:15):
I ducked.
I know I'm gonna get in trouble, sure enough.
Next thing they show my girl onthe couch with one of those hot
water bags or ice bags you knowthe ones you put in your
freezer.
It's made of silicone with alittle top on with a little
twisty knob on top.
She's holding it to her chinand the man was like you know,
you can sue them, you can suerichard.
(34:37):
That was clearly assault, butangie goes well, it was chase
who ducked.
I'm like now, how this man, whyare his reflexes on trial here,
richard, I guess, is sort offeeling himself, or just maybe
he feels bad, for he's like youknow.
You really should go to ahospital and check that out.
She's basically like boy bye.
I grew up with a brother.
(34:58):
I used to knock him out.
He knocked me out one time.
I knocked him out twice.
Please, you hit like a woman,hit like a girl.
Rich, tell you, went toboarding school.
She's acting all tough.
I just hate that.
The implication is that Chaseshould have been a man and taken
the punch.
But I mean, eh, eh, no sense ineverybody being knocked out.
(35:19):
Who knew Rich had it in him?
I guess milk does a body goodand he is all of six, four.
So hey, that was going to hurt,even if he wasn't that strong.
But that's neither here northere.
Angie decides to put this on icetemporarily.
We will revisit this at anothertime, but in the meantime, in
(35:42):
between time, it is abundantlyclear that there is something
going on.
Someone wants us pitted againsteach other.
We all have this business atplay.
Chase got poisoned, you gotdrained.
It's only a matter of timebefore they come for me who
could want us out of businesslike this.
This is a little confusingbecause I don't binge them all
(36:04):
at the same time, but we, theaudience, have known about
DeBercy as his name this wholetime.
We've known he's JohanRebmann's son.
We know Johan Rebmann is gone.
We know they're all connectedto the cartel.
Chase didn't know that for along time.
Neither did Angie.
It is at this moment thatRichard comes clean about the
cartel, johan Rebmann and hisaffiliation with his mother.
(36:31):
Jacqueline angela, of course,scoffs like dang, your mother
wasted no time or talent, didshe?
Mind you, she's got a nice packon her chin.
Well, chase is like rich, itcan't be johan reban because
he's dead, but we heard he has ason.
So we're looking for someonewho's much younger and you know
he's running the cartel, as faras I can tell.
And Rich was like well, how doyou know that you're working
(36:53):
with the government?
They don't really get into abunch of the details, but it's
all coming out.
Angie's like okay, cool, so thecartel is possibly here.
We're looking for a younger guy.
Why would he want Falcon Crest?
Chase says I mean it's legit,it's power, it's wealth.
I mean it's, it's a perfectfront.
If you think about it, this iswhere the manimal's talents come
(37:13):
through.
He not only has a wonderfulhead of hair, he says well,
angie, the only person who'sbeen wanting to buy you out is
de bercy, aka little reedman.
And she says well, it can't behim.
Didn't you look him up?
Didn't you go through hisrecord?
Manimal says well, you know nowthat I think about it, maybe it
was a little bit too clean.
Nobody that wealthy is thatsqueaky clean.
(37:35):
So I mean, it probably is him.
And through deductive reasoningand light investigation
throughout the rest of theepisode, kind of put two and two
together, come to theconclusion that it's probably
the bursey slash reedman.
But now before he has awonderful afternoon on his yacht
in a crisp white sweater with awonderful and whimsical emma.
(37:56):
Now emma gets the jaw jack andyou know she's so poetic and
romantic.
She starts talking abouttunnels and stuff under her, how
she believes her sister's alive, but no one else believes her.
And he's like well, why wouldyou say that?
Mind you, he's also pretendingto be the psychiatrist.
She tells him well, we have allthese tunnels under Falcon
(38:17):
Crest.
Now, this is music to histreasure hunting ears.
Let the games begin he's likeoh, do tell.
She's like well, you know, backin the day, back to prohibition
and stuff, people used to haveto do some funny things, do
something strange for a littlechange.
Well, no, that's probably nothow that saying is supposed to
go, but basically there weretunnels built underground so
(38:40):
that booze could be transportedto and fro.
Probably they're even olderthan that.
So he's like OK, like, okay,bet, that's wonderful.
For no other reason than I needto say this.
I don't think I've ever fullyexpressed this yohan reedman's
son, aka de bercy, aka dr psycho, loves to draw this particular
(39:02):
woman and her boobs all the time.
He'll draw for a little bit, heHe'll make her hold an apple,
then she has to take off her top.
I didn't realize she was alsohis secretary until the end of
this episode where she shows upon Angela's door.
But let me back up just alittle bit.
Deversi comes to Angela's homeafter he spent some time with
(39:22):
Emma on his yacht.
Angie tells him don't come backhere, no more, I don't like you
, I don't want you around mydaughter.
Don't ever show up here again.
You know how this man takesrejection.
I'd be terrified to piss himoff if I knew his history, which
they don't.
Angela doesn't give a damn.
So DeBercy Reidman goes back tohis house.
He tells Hopless Tanya thesecretary hey, I need you to go
(39:49):
back over there and handle it.
He then goes down to the cellaror wherever he's keeping Julia
and he's like why didn't youtell me how you really escaped?
She's like what are you talkingabout?
There was a tunnel, like I mean, I didn't think it was that
important.
The fact that I'm like here iswhat I thought was the best part
of the story.
But I mean sorry, I didn'tinclude all the logistics.
How do do you know about that?
Anyway, only my uncle and mylittle sister know about that.
Well, my episodes end.
(40:13):
The Falcon Crest gang has fullydecided.
You know what it's, debercy.
Debercy is Johan Riemann's son.
Unfortunately for them.
They have this entireconversation in Angie's study,
next to the unassumingeavesdropping giant sculpture in
her corner.
Topless Tanya the secretary isin.
(40:33):
Given her marching order, shegoes over to the house Falcon
Press that is and she pretendsto be a legal assistant for the
manimal.
Oh, mr Reardon wanted me topick up some paperwork here.
Charlie goes to get the door.
Angie's there with him andshe's like oh Charlie, I can
handle this.
She thinks a woman has somedirt, that she's dug up on
someone.
Only this woman reaches intoher brown purse and starts
(40:56):
brandishing a weapon.
Only she's holding it palm sideup, like she's handing the gun
over to Angela.
Now Angie is at first she'ssmiling, looking at her.
She looks down at the gun andsays the most gangster thing
I've ever heard on this show.
Let me make sure I paint thispicture.
Well, topless tanya is holdingthe guy, the guns catawampers,
(41:16):
in her hand, palm up.
This is an invitation to spendthe evening with gustav reidman.
Angie, with a full gun, pointed, pointed at her gut, rolls her
eyes, scoffs and says over mydead body, in other words,
(41:36):
you're going to have to shoot me.
If you're going to pull thatthing out, you better use it and
shoot me.
But then, topless Tanya's likewell, well, there's a special
guest, your daughter julia.
End scene.
Angie looks all shocked.
I find this a little.
This is the first time falconcrest has kind of gone
(41:57):
completely off script.
It's not unusual in a soap forthe the characters to.
They have to kind of quicklyget over things, they have to
quickly move on.
But this season they startedout painting her as a grieving
mother and a grieving widow toPhilip, when in actuality she
never showed either one of them.
Very much emotion seemed likeJulia just kind of get on her,
(42:21):
got on her nerves because shewas weak.
She was a means to an endbecause of Lance.
But there has been a little bitof mommy guilt this season.
But now Herm-Ra, god has aweapon on her.
Is she going to follow thiswoman?
Unfortunately, I think she is.
Angela clearly doesn't fight.
(42:41):
If Charlie was there I thoughtmaybe he could take this girl
out, but there's no threat.
Richard, chase and the manimalare headed to San Francisco in
the back of a limo.
So at this point in this series, everything is out.
Richard has confessed to beingin the cartel to everyone.
Chase asked him you know howlong have you been in cahoots
(43:03):
with these people?
Richard claims he let go ofthem years ago.
That is not true.
It was like a year ago.
So Chase starts putting two andtwo together.
He's like so did they havesomething to do with the plane
crash?
It kind of seems like they did.
Richard was like yeah, andChase is like well, ain't this
some really?
Richard goes.
Well, listen, listen.
The manimal and Angela, werethe ones who were content to set
(43:25):
you up.
I never set you up.
Let the record reflect.
I was on your side the wholetime.
So now it's all out in the open,all the secrets that we know,
as the audience, the families atFalcon Crest know.
They're now trying to tiptoearound to get the drop on
Reidman before he realizes thatthey know who he is.
Only they are unaware of thespy tactics and that topless
(43:48):
tanya is kidnapping angela as wespeak.
There was a lot of elderlyabuse in this episode.
However, if anybody can handleit, it's big ang.
Can't wait to see what happenson the next episode.
I forgot.
There's one little part.
Chase is telling Maggieeverything over dinner and she's
(44:12):
like wait, wait, wait, tell meagain, tell me again.
So you ducked and Richardknocked out Angela, not them
being messy over dinner.
But that is how the cookiecrumbles.
I'm excited.
We're 10 more episodes, Ibelieve.
A little less than 10.
A little more than 10 episodes.
Um, julia's still alive.
(44:32):
Julia's still running around.
She hasn't actually doneanything yet.
So I can't wait to see whathappens on the next episode.
In the meantime, in betweentime, keep an eye out the next
time you're at the park for aplay date.
You never know when a tanker isgonna spill 25 000 gallons of
lighter fluid.
Booze, stay hydrated, staymoisturized, mind your own
(44:53):
business and keep all of yourdrama on tv.
Thank you, bye.
