What happens when a woman who's been labeled "crazy" starts receiving messages from her supposedly dead husband? In this riveting episode of Dynasty, we follow Claudia Blaisdel Carrington's desperate journey to South America in search of answers about Matthew and their daughter Lindsay. As she confronts the burned-out jeep where they allegedly perished, the emotional weight is shattering—but nothing prepares her for the mysterious phone call that sends her spiraling.Meanwhile, Jeff Colby makes his move on Fallon during a spontaneous Aspen getaway, attempting to rebrand himself as "dangerous" to win her affection. Their chemistry remains questionable, but a brief romance blooms before Fallon's mysterious headaches interrupt. Is this just another chapter in Jeff's endless pursuit, or something more? As our host brilliantly puts it: "Every time Jeff touches a woman, they go running for the hills." Some relationships were simply never meant to be.The drama intensifies when Krystal discovers she's pregnant—news that Tracy maliciously reveals to Blake before Crystal can tell him herself. As Blake travels to Hong Kong and encounters his old adversary Ahmad Rashid, Alexis proves her cunning by discovering their dealings through impression marks on Adam's notepad. The episode builds to a chilling conclusion when Claudia receives a haunting phone call that sounds exactly like Matthew's voice.This episode raises intriguing questions about who might be manipulating Claudia. Our host presents a compelling theory: could the butler, who consistently delivers these strange messages, be behind it all? The mystery deepens with each scene, leaving us wondering who can be trusted in the Carrington universe.Subscribe to Soap Lore for more deep dives into the golden age of primetime soaps, where we explore the schemes, romances, and power plays that made these shows unforgettable.

(00:42):
Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, this is Soap Lure.
Hello, gorgeous, welcome orwelcome back to another
fun-filled edition of Soap Lure.
I'm your hostess, rachel Mosley, or at least I'd like to
believe that.
(01:02):
I'm Jack, viewing and reviewingsome of the Sophia's primetime
stories of ago.
We are in for another treat.
We're still in Denver.
We're back on Dynasty.
At the time of this recording, Ihave not watched the show.
I decided I left you guys fortoo long.
Let's do some back to back toback to back realness.
(01:24):
We are on season four, episode20, which means we are near the
end of the season.
They are up in the ante, up inthe antics.
I'm expecting the unexpected.
They're quite literallybuilding up to something a
little bit interesting.
This episode is called theVoice.
There's no doubt in my mindthis is about our girl, claudia
(01:45):
the Stallion.
Well, we'll get into that herein a second.
I hope your day is shaping upwell.
I hope you've had a wonderfulday.
If you haven't, guess what?
We're going to go back to myboom Baptist days.
One of my BTU teachers used tosay hey, before you kids come in
here acting a teetotal fool,we're going to kick the devil
(02:08):
out.
And basically you got to justkind of pop lock and just fist,
fight the air frantically, act,just exert as much energy as you
could, act like you were theTasmanian devil and you threw
all that energy out of the door.
That's what we're going to doright now, because we're going
to watch our stories.
Please, pardon my dogperiwinkle she's in the
background acting up a littlebit.
She watches my soaps with mesometimes.
(02:30):
So go ahead and pour yourselfsome, pour yourself up something
bubbly and bright as we jumpinto season 4, episode 20 of
dynasty, the voice.
All right, guys, before we jumpinto the show, I want to jump
into some fan mail, some hottakes.
I tell you what this wholebeauty pageant thing is really
(02:55):
sparked a conversation that Ididn't know we needed.
I'm so glad we're in it.
Though, before we go there Iwant to shout out my friend Kip,
who reminded me the last timewe did Dallas.
I went on and on and on abouthow Jock and Ellie knew that Ray
was Jock's son.
That wasn't the case.
They knew about the affair.
(03:16):
Jock knew he had an affair.
He told Ellie as soon as he gothome.
It wasn't a surprise when Rayshowed up on their doorsteps
although I struggle with that,because when you say it out loud
, jock had an affair with thisother woman.
And then you look at Ray, theylook very, very similar.
Yes, ray's not as tall as him,but the striking blue eyes, the,
the kind of the way they stand,it's very much the same.
(03:39):
But thank you for that.
I'm not out here trying to justspew misinformation, especially
for the newbies who are watchingthis and then listening to the
show.
I hope you're doing it in thatorder.
I hope you're watching theshows first and then listening
to me and then coming up withyour own point of view and I'd
love to hear your point of view.
(03:59):
It is the brightest part, oneof the brightest parts of my day
.
You can always text me if youare on your mobile device.
God don't I sound like an 87year old woman.
If you're on your mobile phone,you can look in the show notes
and text full disclosure.
I can't text you back but Iwill always acknowledge, send me
an email like it's 1997,because I love that to
(04:27):
S-O-A-P-L-O-R-E-P-O-D-C-A-S-T atgmailcom.
That is SoapLorePodcast atgmailcom.
So thank you, kip, for thecorrection.
You're absolutely right, theydidn't know.
But man, that is really justgetting extra, extra messy.
(04:47):
I can't wait to get back toDallas Before we do that.
I am being chewed alive a littlebit for my opinions on who
should and shouldn't participatein the beauty pageant.
Let me just say, fulldisclosure, I grew up watching
pageants, participated in acouple and my whole thing is
that it does.
(05:08):
You don't just show up at apageant.
Yes, you might show upregionally, but you have to have
a little bit of pizzazz.
You have to have a little bitof something that makes the
audience want to come back formore.
You have to have, you have toknow how to catch us, and I'm
thinking about that with some ofthe men, and that's not always
a case.
Some of them are just popularby proxy.
(05:28):
It's one thing to take off yourshirt and be greasy, but can
you hold my attention?
That's what I'm saying.
Shelly, a fellow millennial fromFlorida, does not agree.
She feels like I'm all out ofwhack and we're going to jump
into her.
All out of whack and we'regonna jump into her.
(05:49):
Her.
Thank you, shelly.
Thank you for your email.
She has opinions.
So Shelly writes that she is amillennial born in the 80s,
watching these shows for thefirst time.
She agrees that they areawesome, but I have it all wrong
when it comes to the categories.
Okay, she says, jet, there'sabsolutely no way you can leave
out the silvered haired foxcategory.
It's not only necessary, butit's an essential addition to
(06:12):
the vintage primetime all malereview.
Beauty pageant.
First of all, beauty pageantsaren't just about youth.
It's about presence, confidenceand yes, swagger, which isn't
handed out at birth.
It's earned over decades ofvictories and lessons,
reinventions and battle scars.
A man like Richard from FalconCrest or Philip from Falcon
(06:32):
Crest carries an aura built onyears of command, charm and
refined sophistication.
These guys just aren'tcharacters.
They embody the experience instyle, providing that charisma
that only deepens with time.
She also adds a swagger is aninstant.
It's a slow burn that turnsinto a legacy force.
(06:52):
I like that take.
I like that a young man canwalk into a room and be noticed,
sure, but an older man with asharp suit, measured gaze and an
effortless presence, hecommands attention without
asking for it.
He's the one with lifetimesworth of wisdom, lessons learned
the hard way and a refined edgethat makes every word count.
(07:15):
That's why age before beautyisn't a rule, it's reality,
because beauty without depth isfleeting, but depth with beauty
that's timeless.
She goes on to say jock fromdallas, blake from dynasty
belong in the pageant, theirliving proof that swagger and
(07:36):
power don't fade, they evolve.
And anyone who doubts that?
Well, they just aren't payingattention.
Shelly, baby girl, you havecompletely convinced me.
You are absolutely right.
There is something so refinedand I find this the older I get
there is something so refinedabout the confidence of a full
(07:58):
grown man.
You're right, it is a quietconfidence, it is a commanding
presence, it is alluring withoutsaying a word.
And that's power.
You are absolutely right.
Anyone can take off their shirt.
Anyone can do, you know, ahundred squats, whatever.
We can watch your gym broroutine and I'm not saying
that's bad, but she's right.
(08:18):
There is something with whatdid.
How does she put it, girl?
She said age before beautyisn't a rule, it's a reality,
because beauty without depth isfleeting, but depth with beauty
is timeless.
Sold, sold, sold.
(08:39):
We have just added a silver foxcategory to the all-male vintage
primetime review.
Now the only little caveat thatI have, miss shelly, is that
girl, how you gonna put richard?
Richard ain't old.
Richard has old man tendencies.
I have thought that from thebeginning, so I could totally
(09:00):
understand how you could thinkthat.
But richard is not old.
Richard is a few years olderthan Chase and by my estimation
they're 40-ish, which is, youknow, that's wrong.
We're good and grown.
Millennials are hitting the 40s.
That's not like.
That's not 80.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a totally differentthing.
But oh, ok, let's throw that inthere.
(09:22):
Do you think Philip?
Do you think Jock?
I think Jock's.
Oh god, I can see Jock has adifferent sort of swagger.
He's a haggard old, um, wildcatter.
He's been wheeling and dealinghe's.
He was JR.
I think JR inherited more swag,I don't know where from, but he
got it.
He got like a double dose.
Philip is sly.
Um, I don't know how far you arebecause you're not naming
(09:46):
everybody, so I'm gonna watch mymouth here.
Enjoy the show.
Well, obviously, if you'vegotten this far, you know who's
in there.
I don't disagree, the silverhaired boxes have to be there,
and let's, let's.
I don't know if we want to putan age limit on that.
I don't think chase and richardwould be considered.
(10:06):
Oh, but they, because they'resomeone's dad, because they have
adult children, I'll allow it.
I'll allow it.
I think that's.
That's relative to them all.
Right, guys, let's go ahead andjump into season four, episode
20, and find out what's going onwith my girl, claudia, the
stallion.
Justice for Claudia.
I'm not gonna lie, I cringethrough a lot of this because my
(10:31):
least favorite people are frontand center.
This episode is all aboutglobetrotting to prove a point,
globetrotting to secure someinformation, and globetrotting
for the sake of love.
It all involves theCarrington's, which is just.
It is what it is.
So, obviously, when you hearsomething called the voice, who
(10:54):
would hear voices other thanClaudia the stallion?
She's, she's a two time felon orI don't know what you'd call
someone who's in an insaneasylum twice.
She's not necessarily a felon,but she is a two-time recipient
of the Not Sane Award, so shehas to be very delicate in the
way that she moves throughoutthe world.
(11:14):
That's irrelevant.
We'll get to her here in asecond.
We got to talk about MissStanky Leg herself.
She is back on her two noodleleg feet.
She is moving around and she'strying to make up for time.
Fallon wants to make sure thatshe is staying abreast of all
the latest developments with herhotel La Mirage, which is at
the center of all of theactivities in Denver.
(11:35):
But she's also realizing that,like dang, I really, really
really do keep picking the wrongperson.
She's quickly getting overPeter, which I wouldn't expect
anything less from a soap opera.
Obviously, you don't have timeto linger and to dwell on
something that has alreadyhappened.
(11:56):
What can you do about what'sbeen done?
But someone who alsounderstands this is Jeff Colby.
Jeff understands that he has avery limited window when it
comes to the love of Fallon.
Love is a very generous word.
I think he can hold herattention for a very small
amount of time and he's going totake advantage of that on this
episode.
So Jeff decides before Fallongets too independent, let me
(12:21):
slip in there and see if I can'tcoax her into a little bit of
vacation independent.
Let me slip in there and see ifI can't coax her into a little
bit vacation.
The whole long and short of thisepisode is that blake is going
to go to hong kong to handlesome business.
Crystal's going to go with him,because that leaves the mansion
a little bit more open.
Jeff decides this is theperfect opportunity to reach out
(12:41):
to fallon and take her to Aspen.
Let's go skiing.
Girl, you just learned to walkagain.
I think the best thing we coulddo for your very weak and
wobbly knees is put you on apair of skis, pair of toothpicks
.
Let's send you down a side of amountain.
Can't imagine what can go wrongwith that.
That's irrelevant because Jeffknows, okay, listen.
(13:03):
With that, that's irrelevantbecause Jeff knows, okay, listen
, fallon has picked the wrongguy after me at least two or
three times.
The least I can do is throw myshot out there.
So he does.
He approaches her and I think hefinally realizes this episode,
that, hey, I seem to be the surething, the safe bet.
I'm not exciting to her.
She keeps speaking to peoplewho are not necessarily more
(13:25):
handsome than me, they're notnecessarily wealthier than me,
they're just.
They have something that shewants.
They are captivating herattention for longer periods of
time.
So what can I do?
If I've been predictable, letme just flip that.
Let me uno reverse this wholething.
Fallon, I'm not going to go towork today.
I'm going gonna go to worktoday.
I'm gonna go to Aspen.
You want to go to hell withwork.
(13:47):
And she's like oh, my god, jeff, you're giving up your
administrative task.
Yes, absolutely, I will flywith you to Aspen.
To hell with that kid Blake wemade.
Let's go to Aspen.
Okay, now I wanted to hate onthis whole scene because I'm
absolutely, completely annoyedwith this and it's just like.
(14:07):
I feel like Regina George, stoptrying to make fetch happen.
It's never going to happen,fetch being this relationship.
They don't have the chemistry.
You are fun when I haveabsolutely nothing to do, jeff,
jeff.
But instead they keep trying tomake fetch happen.
(14:27):
He's obsessed with her and Iain't gonna lie.
They get to Aspen and I don'tknow who did the lighting, but
we all know Jeff is handsome,but he looks like a whole entire
snack.
He looks scrumdiddly umptiousand Fallon can't help herself.
She said you know what?
Let me go and take a littlenibble, let me take a little
bite.
They do their thing, but shestarts having these like weird
(14:49):
headaches.
I hope this means she's gonnahave a split personality in the
next few episodes, because I'mlike why didn't she have a
headache when she was in thehospital?
Maybe because her legs weren'tworking?
I don't know, but she keepsshowing the audience.
Oh my God, ah, ah, ah, theseheadaches.
Jeff somehow convinces her thatnot only is he the good thing
(15:13):
and the safe bet, but he's alsodangerous.
He has a dangerous side.
She's like you know what?
That's my ish, that's my cup oftea.
Go ahead, jeff Colby, take meto bed.
They go to bed with each other.
It is not at all romantic, it isnot at all a surprise, it is
very predictable and I am leftwanting and disappointed.
(15:35):
Not that I judge my own lifeover other people's on-screen
sex chemistry, but there is none.
I think it's time to hang it up.
Let's let this go.
This is never going to be athing, but on this episode, just
know she hooks up with him.
Oh, I'm cold, jeff, oh my God,you're so dangerous.
You're such a bad boy, god.
(15:58):
If I have to explain what a badboy is, then you're just not it
.
If I have to give you anexplanation, you ain't it.
I'm not going to sit, listen.
Listen, dynasty, I don't.
Perry agrees with me.
De Blasio, calm down, we got tomove on.
(16:18):
I don't really give a damn oneway or another.
All I know is she's havingheadaches.
Hopefully she has a psychoticepisode within the next four to
five episodes.
You know what?
I'm not letting it go.
Actually, I will never let itgo.
Why is Jeff the the doormat?
Why is he?
Good luck, chuck.
Why is?
Every time Jeff touches a woman, they go running for the hills.
They either run to Hollywood,they uh steal keys from him, go
(16:43):
back to the insane asylum?
Jeff can't catch a break.
If his life depended on, hecouldn't hit water.
He fell out of a yacht.
This kid is is he bad newsbears?
I don't know what the heck isgoing on.
Why does he keep running intothese, these fiascos?
I hate that they are trying todrag Fallon into this.
That was never, never going tohappen.
(17:04):
The best thing they could havedone is on season one, when he
called her, their relationship,like a perverse relationship
between an iguana and a human orsomething like that.
I can't remember what he said,but he cussed everybody out at
the birthday party.
Then he was bathing in the sunwith baby oil and bacon grease
and whatnot by the pool.
Fallon came out there.
He read her for filth.
(17:24):
That's where we should haveleft it.
Next thing, you know, sheknocked up by him, even though
she was messing with his uncle,who almost was her daddy.
I'm so sick of this.
Let Jeff and Fallon go and hesays oh my God, you're so
interesting, you're so diverse.
Fallon, don't you want me?
I'm dangerous.
I didn't call in the worst, sir.
That's not dangerous.
(17:45):
That's called being over 30.
That means you understand whatpto is.
You also have to understandjeff colby owns half of colby co
and he has a huge stake indenver, carrington.
He could.
He could fart in the wind allday, every day, and never show
up and be just fine.
This, this is what pisses meoff so much.
There is no chemistry there.
(18:06):
Can we please let this go?
There's 97 other broads on thisshow.
You know what works the Dharmaand Greg trope.
We need a hippie, I need anearthy.
I need a crunchy, granola,barefoot, chinchilla, armpit
type woman for Jeff, and thenI'll believe he's into her.
I refuse to believe that.
(18:27):
He wants one dimensional, real,thin, no shade to her body, not
body shame.
And I'm just saying.
You know he don't want that.
And sadly, she wants what shewants geriatric billionaire.
She wants coked out playboy.
She wants a doctor with a badEast Coast attitude.
(18:51):
I'm over it, jeff.
It was never going to happen.
But I'm supposed to believethey're going to bang bang on
flannel sheets and everything'ssupposed to be Gucci, golden and
perfect.
She don't want you.
She had that baby because herfather told her to, which is
probably one of the mostdisturbing things I've ever
heard in my life.
But here we are.
Thank you for listening.
(19:12):
I just need to get that off mychest.
This is becoming a whole thing.
We gotta let it go.
I understand that the chase isromantic, the frenemies trope is
a whole thing, but she justdon't want him.
He's boring and she called himstiff, which I really
appreciated because I recall atthe beginning of this episode
(19:33):
full disclosure, yeah, so what?
I watched this at work of thisepisode.
Full disclosure, yeah, so what?
I watched this at work.
I'm good at my job.
I watched this at work and thenI had the nerve to be annoyed
when I had to do work.
I'm like what?
Just stop asking me questions.
I'm watching Dynasty, but yeah,he is a little bit stiff.
It's not that he is.
(19:53):
Some people are stiff and rigidto rules because they want to
make sure things flow swiftly.
He doesn't even seem like that,he just seems like he's just
naturally a little bit stiff.
He has a little bit more of aboring taste, and there's
nothing wrong with that.
However, for someone like her,who is a globetrotter she's
sleeping with all sorts of dudesYou're just not going to pique
(20:16):
her interest.
Thank God you're her baby daddy, because you're going to be
solid, way more solid than afilibuster could ever be.
But that's the long and shortof it.
Let it go.
Jeff needs someone entirelydifferent than him, entirely
Socioeconomically, everything.
She needs to be totally,totally different than him,
entirely Socioeconomicallyeverything.
She needs to be totally,totally different from him.
(20:38):
Anyway, that's neither here northere.
This episode made me solidify afew things.
With this being episode 20,we're almost at the end of this
season I have decided fully howI feel about the bit players
Number one.
Dex dexter is that dude.
He is him with a capital h.
(21:00):
He is the man boyfriend.
I love everything about dexdexter, from his just perfectly
erect posture to his back hairproudly displayed on national
television in front of God andeverybody.
I also like the fact that DexDexter don't give a damn about a
closed door.
On the last episode I left thispart out.
(21:21):
You know, I like to say thedevil works hard, but Kris
Jenner works harder.
Dex Dexter has to work evenharder than Kris Jenner and JR,
because somehow he knows anytime.
Blake is about to have a meeting.
I don't know if he senses it inhis blood, if he smells it in
the air, but he kicks.
Now he bursts through doorslike it's his business.
(21:44):
Blake, you in here having ameeting.
What's this about?
I'm on the board.
I know you don't have nounsanctioned meeting.
And Blake's like not only am Ihaving an unsanctioned meeting,
I am not meeting with thecompany of this man, I'm meeting
with the man of this man,whatever that means.
He then scolds Dexter you saidyou was a big boy.
You said you were used to thebig time.
(22:05):
This is the big time, baby boy,get used to it.
Dexter is not going to let thatgo.
Now here's the thing he'sstarting to be a little bit
colluded in the mind becausehe's so into Alexis.
He's starting to be paranoidabout the relationship between
Alexis and Blake Carrington.
Again, I feel like this isfetch.
I don't see this happening.
(22:25):
She wants to destroy him, soher obsession is more about his
detriment, not the benefit ofhim, which which is totally
different.
But I guess if you're a manpining for a woman's attention,
you want all of it, good, bad orindifferent.
He is slowly learning that hewill be a stepdad to children
(22:46):
who are within seven or eightyears of his age, which is
difficult because Alexis is.
She may not be a hands-on momin the traditional sense, but
she definitely cares about herkids.
So he is navigating that well.
I like everything about Dexter.
I love how he comforted herlast episode.
I love how he brought her intobusiness.
(23:08):
I love that he wants to see thebest for her.
I love that he ain't afraid tokick down a door and embarrass
himself so that he can make surehe and his woman are in the
best light.
I love it.
I love everything about him.
God, I hope he's on for that.
I don't know how long he'sgonna be on.
They don't seem to hold on topeople very long on.
Dynasty is what I'm noticing,but I hope Dexter is here to
(23:32):
stay now.
On the other hand, I was fullyexcited about Tracy.
I saw something weird in hereyes.
I saw a little bit of thequality of the stallion some of
that.
Maybe.
I've spent a little bit of timein an insane asylum type
situation.
Unfortunately, tracy is messyto be messy, which I can't fully
appreciate.
Listen, I'm going to be withyou when you are right.
(23:55):
Tracy deserved the PR positionover Crystal.
Hands down, no question aboutit.
I will never, never, never,deny that fact.
However, you going above andbeyond, you being all in
people's personal calendarsbefore they were digital is a
problem for me.
So on this, this episode,crystal shows up in her cream.
(24:17):
This time she shows up in creamand silk because she is her.
She is no longer worried aboutspending $100,000 a season for
her wardrobe.
She's her.
She's that girl.
She's going to put it on everysingle time she steps out.
Well, she's minding herbusiness.
Blake is about to go to Asia,somewhere in Asia, tracy's in
the room and Tracy lets thebeans spill like Crystal.
(24:40):
Should you really be travelingwhen you pregnant?
I'm so sorry, girl.
I saw on your calendar that youwere going to the OBGYN.
How do you know that wasn't herannual physical?
Gentlemen who are listening,I'm sorry if this makes you a
little bit squeamish, but youknow what.
This is life.
These are the questions that allwomen are thinking.
It's okay, it's, it's fine, Ipromise you.
How do you know she just wasn'tan annual physical?
(25:01):
How do you know?
Maybe she wanted to change herbirth control?
You don't know what what shewas going for.
But tracy is messy and I canappreciate mess when there is an
actual return on the mess.
But this is just messy to bemessy.
You already got the deal.
You are already blake's um prperson as a what is he?
He's like a congressman orchairman or something.
(25:24):
He's some vague governmentposition.
You've already got that.
Why are you messing withcrystal?
I don't normally take up forher, but I need you to back up.
Back up, because it's about tobe on.
Crystal is from Ohio.
Oh, I don't play with her.
She's going to mess around andremember her roots and drag you
through a studio.
(25:44):
She did it to Alexis.
She'll do it to you as theepisode progresses, crystal has
no choice but to confess toBlake that, yes, I think I'm
pregnant.
I'm just a little bit nervous,and I was nervous to tell you.
They work through this becauseof course, this is what he wants
.
You're my wife, I love you, youlove me.
There's nothing more beautiful,nothing more sacred than
creating a life between the twoof us.
(26:06):
It's a beautiful.
Crystal is in the family way.
Congratulations to crystal.
Now I thought she had a weirdshape, uterus or something.
I can't wait till Alexis findsout.
She's going to flip her lid,which is not the best because
she's already going through somuch.
Each one of her kids is showingtheir entire behind in a
(26:27):
totally different way.
Fallon kicked her out of thehospital.
She's very, very sad about that.
Adam is about to marry thehelp's daughter, which is you.
It's a whole thing.
And now he's mad at her.
So that's one thing.
And then, lord, have mercy.
Claudia the stallion isembarrassing the entire
(26:49):
carrington.
Slash colby Glenn by runningaround embracing her psychosis.
That girl is nuts.
And Alexis can't have herrunning around looking for
ghosts.
It's embarrassing.
So on this episode she has tobe on top of several things.
First things first, stephen,come on to my office.
(27:11):
I am really glad the felon hasLa Mirage, because this begins
to get very, very confusing very, very quickly.
Stephen works for his mother.
He can't stand his father, sohe's working for his mother at
Colby Co.
He's doing a pretty good job.
She calls him into the officebecause he wakes up one morning
(27:31):
in a bedroom where he has thisreally thick like floral
comforter.
And I thought you know what?
This is probably the mostrealistic part of this entire
show.
If you are married, your wife isgoing to decide.
If you're a straight couple,let me just be there.
If you are a heterosexualcouple, obviously the woman is
probably going to be the one whodecorates the bedroom.
(27:52):
Men tend to not care about thatone way or another.
So she has this really heavyfloral comforter.
This whole situation.
It looks very, very comforting.
It looks like the JCPenney's.
You remember when they used tomake those little half beds.
I remember my brother didn'trealize that those were fake and
he just leaps into one and itwas just nothing but plywood.
And it was just nothing butplywood.
(28:15):
Sorry, sorry, I told that butit was funny, it was hilarious,
must you get?
Steven is sleeping peacefully inthis ocean of floral and cream.
When he reaches over tohopefully find his wife.
Unfortunately for him, he findsa note.
Claudia is like yo.
I'm so sorry to embarrass you,but I had to go to South America
(28:37):
.
She has been tormented non-stop.
I don't blame her.
She has to get to the bottom ofthis.
But because we all know she'sbeen in the insane asylum, it's
very easy to believe that she ishaving an episode.
However, she's not.
That has to be the mostfrustrating part about going
quote-unquote crazy when in factthere were a series of events
(28:58):
that happened and you had a snap.
You had a mental snap.
It's perfectly fine.
Alexis gets wind of this and shebrings steven into the office
and she says now, steven,clearly you're my favorite child
, clearly.
But when I say you are acting ateetotal, you are acting a
(29:18):
teetotal.
You are boo-boo the fool rightnow.
And I need you to understandsomething.
What sense does it make foryour woman, who has been in the
Cuckoo House, to go runningaround the globe looking for
clues after she's been in theCuckoo House?
What sense does it make for youto jump on a plane and chase
this woman who has been in theCuckoo house?
What sense does it make for youto jump on a plane and chase
this woman who has been in theCuckoo house, as she runs around
(29:39):
the globe?
Doesn't that make you a Cuckootoo?
Basically, she says don't be afool, let's send a psychiatrist,
let's send her doctor, theperson who gave her the
diagnosis, let's send himhalfway across the world so that
some of this is going to makesense at some point he can tell
(30:02):
her hey, you tripping yourhusband been dead.
I need you to relax.
Stephen's not having.
He's like mama.
It'd be one thing if she wasmaking this up, but I saw the
notes, I saw all the things.
She clearly is seeing something.
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna be agood man, I'm gonna follow my
woman down to south america, soon.
There is not a lot of.
There's a little bit ofdiversity, which is funny
because in America, obviouslythe diversity is gonna be other
(30:22):
Americans, right, which isrelatively diverse.
But when you go to SouthAmerica, literally the only
Spanish I heard was BienvenidosComo estas.
Very basic, very pamphlet-likeEspanol.
Claudia gets down to SouthAmerica and her guide is trying
(30:48):
to tell her okay, this is what'sthis.
This is that when suddenly MrPat Dunn Albuquerque, born and
bred as he presents himself,starts jaw jacking yeah, yeah,
blah, blah, blah.
By the end of their timetogether, it is very clear that
Mr Pat Dunn wants Claudia's PatDunnese.
(31:10):
He wants Panties.
He's trying to get in a draw.
Whoa, she's not really into it.
Like, dude, it like do back up,back up, I don't need you,
please leave me alone.
She thought he was going tohelp her with her daughter.
She's asking personal questionsand that's the thing that
pisses me off.
It's not just that she lost herhusband, she lost her daughter
too.
He is very insensitive to that,even though he's a hottie.
(31:30):
I'm gonna let that ride.
I'm gonna keep his face in mindbecause if perspective was true
, he'll be on another soap operavery, very soon.
So as she's telling him listen,I'm not interested in your
advances, all I want is myfamily and all I need is a clues
to find my family or tounderstand what happened to him.
He keeps pursuing her.
Come on, don't you want me?
(31:52):
Blah, blah, blah.
Next thing, I know new face,stephen pops up like hey, didn't
you hear the lady?
I need you to back up.
She don't you want me.
Blah, blah, blah.
Next thing, I know new face,stephen pops up like hey, didn't
you hear the lady?
I need you to back up, shedon't want nothing to do with
you.
Mr Pat Dunn falls to the wayside, stephen and Claudia are guided
through the jungle andunfortunately and I mean this
(32:12):
from the bottom of my heart,unfortunately the Jeep where
Matthew and Lindsay allegedlyperished is still sitting in the
jungle.
It is burned and the guideexplains to her listen, no, we
didn't find any bodies, butthat's not unusual.
This is the jungle baby.
I need you to understand thatin the jungle, this ain't a zoo.
(32:35):
This isn't the woods, this isthe jungle baby.
I need you to understand thatin the jungle, this ain't a zoo.
This isn't the woods, this isthe jungle.
This is nature at its most raw,real and uncut.
People are drug away by wildanimals every single day.
We have a very difficult timebelieving that they were not
drug away.
So in the real world you'd belike, okay, I kind of accept
that In sober upper land ain'tno bodies, which means they
(32:57):
could be anywhere.
They could be walking aroundwith amnesia, they could be
doing all sorts of weird things,but we just don't know.
Would they be capable ofsending her these sort of coded
messages.
Why would Matthew just come outof the woodworks?
I don't believe Matthew's alivefor that reason, because he'd
have no reason to hide hisidentity.
(33:18):
He knows where she is, he knowswhere she lives, he knows that
she's married and he's stillsending these things allegedly.
This has to be someone else.
We'll get to that by the end ofthe episode.
I need to touch on my girl,kirby.
This episode, uh, kirby is alsopersona non grata on the set
because they keep giving her themost matronly, historically
(33:38):
inaccurate robes to wear aroundthe house as a 21, 22 year old
woman.
I just have a very difficulttime believing that.
She's dressing like LauraIngalls Wilder the entire time.
She looks like she's been at arenaissance fair.
This episode she's only in onescene.
She's in the kitchen with Adam.
He is sipping wine.
(33:58):
She comes down.
She wants Adam to help her findher mom.
Yo, my mom's alive.
You would think if anyone onearth would understand that, it
would be Adam.
And I'm slowly starting tounderstand their relationship
together.
So they are both two people whowere, who grew up without their
mother.
Whether that was a rejection orwhether it was just
circumstances that were beyondtheir control, they grew up
(34:21):
without a mother.
They grew up in a place thatthey didn't really belong and
now they both want to make abetter life for themselves.
And this is where they start todiffer.
I don't think Kirby cares oneway or another about wealth,
about status, about anythinglike that.
She was fully in love with Jeff.
She just wanted to be Mrs JeffColey.
(34:44):
Adam is on a redemption tourand, for whatever reason, he
sees Kirby as the perfect pawnin this particular situation.
And I don't really see that,because, okay, you're not going
to gain status by having Kirby.
Yes, if she has a baby, that'sone thing, but any woman he has
(35:06):
a baby with is going to be aCarrington baby, so why would
that even matter?
Kirby also is well-liked.
I was thinking about this todayon my way to work.
Kirby also is well-liked.
I was thinking about this todayon my way to work.
There's nothing to dislikeabout Kirby.
She's not invasive, she's notdisruptive.
She doesn't really seem to haveany.
(35:26):
I'm not saying she doesn't haveany goals, but she's not here
to disrupt anything, but Adam is.
So it's only a matter of time,in my personal opinion, before
that crumbles.
She's like yo, you told me youwould help me find my mom.
He's like hey, we got a taskhere, we got to focus, we got to
get Adam on some meds, we gotto get him on some Prozac or
something, because this rapeyvibe, this super intense vibe,
(35:49):
is beginning to mess up things.
What it doesn't mess up is hisvision, because he sees his
mother as a problem.
Oh, you don't like my wife.
I got something to say to you.
So he goes over to Colby Co andI have to remember that he
works for Denver Carrington, heworks for Blake, stephen works
for Alexis.
(36:10):
Let's put a pin in that becausewe got to talk about Blake.
So Blake originally thought hewould take Crystal to Hong Kong
with him so he can handle somebusiness.
There are some newbreakthroughs and some whatever
blah, blah, blah legalities.
Usa, blah, blah, blah.
Crystal newly pregnant.
(36:30):
Her doctor advises her not todo anything strenuous and I
guess flying to Hong Kong couldbe strenuous.
She's gonna go ahead and stayhome.
She encourages Blake to takeTracy.
Tracy's gonna know what to do.
Tracy is that chick.
Let's just take her.
He thinks that's a great idea.
They show up in Hong Kong andthey're waiting for this
diplomat to show up and, to myshock, awe and surprise.
(36:54):
We just talked about this manyesterday.
Ahmad Rashid not Hadid shows upand he's like hey, hey, hey,
guess who's back in the blub,blub, blub house?
Looks like Ahmad Rashid, whatthe heck are you doing here?
He's like funny thing, acountry hired me to do business,
(37:15):
so do you want to do businessover?
Like funny thing, a countryhired me to do business, so do
you want to do business overhere or not?
They have a whole businessdiscussion.
It's a little bit weird.
Blake feels a way, because he'sbeen screwed over by this man
one time before.
He's not going to do this again.
So he puts a couple ofparameters in place.
He's stalling a little bit.
He's like hey, tracy's here notonly as my PR person person,
(37:37):
but as a witness.
I don't trust you any furtherthan I can throw you.
He starts to do a little bit ofa background check on Ahmed.
Okay, let's go back to Adam.
This coincides right about thetime that Adam goes over to
Alexis's office to tell her toback up because he's gonna marry
Kirby.
He does not appreciate hertrying to give her a new job in
Paris and all that.
That was not cool.
It was even worse that sheexposed her mother.
(38:01):
It was just horrible.
And he was like I need you tochill out or we're not going to
be cool.
So, as Alexis is listening, hersecretary her male secretary
burst in the room like Dexterand he's like I'm so sorry, miss
Alexis, but, adam, you have aphone call.
You can take it on line one.
Adam takes a phone call.
He's like uh-huh, uh-huh, it'sBlake.
Blake wants him to check intoAhmad Rashid.
(38:23):
So he writes this.
Adam ends over, he writes thison a notepad.
He snatches a paper off whenhe's done.
I respected this so much.
He was like mom, you were inthe middle of saying blah, blah,
blah.
They pick up where theconversation left off.
Actually, they know.
Alexis is like well, youalready feel how you feel.
There's no point in me pushingthis any further.
I've said my piece, let's justlet it go.
He's like bet, I gotta go, loveyou, love you too.
(38:46):
Well, she's smart and she startsdoing this little task.
I learned in Girl Scouts and Iwas like eight years old where
you can do uh like leaf rumming.
Basically you run a pencil orcrayon over a sheet of paper.
You can see what was thereprevious, or you can put
something underneath and makethis really cool piece of art.
She does that and she quicklysees the name Ahmad Rashid.
(39:08):
Now, luckily for Alexa, she isan international play girl.
That's one of her booskies,that's one of the dudes on her
list.
So she's like oh bet, shestarts reaching out to her
do-dirt people because now shehas resources.
She wants to know hey, find outeverything that I mean ahmad
rashid is doing right now.
So she now has the upper handsort of or at least some skin in
(39:31):
the game.
When it comes to blake'sbusinesses, I will say this
season she hasn't been heavy onher business because her kids
have been running a complete andtotal muck.
But she seems to be back inthere and I'm excited to see
what happens with Ahmaud Rasheed.
Blake eventually decides that,okay, ahmaud, you're probably
cool enough.
(39:51):
He's considering doing businesswith him.
But before he can get too deepinto that, tracy and he need to
go over some particular, she'slike well, if you're not too
tired, let me go to my room, letme get some notes that I took.
Well, she goes to her room andshe comes back with some very
enticing sort of peachy pinklingerie.
(40:13):
Like Blake, it's alluncomfortable.
It's very clear.
Tracy has an ulterior motiveand I'm like no damn it, tracy,
I thought you wanted the job,you got the job.
What else could you gain atthis point?
Crystal has ops all around herNow I was all for this when this
was all about the PR game.
But Blake, have a seat.
(40:34):
She's even like I'm old.
She seems like I'm powerful.
She just seems to like power.
I don't really know what it is,but Tracy is officially on my
list.
Let's go ahead and wrap this up, because it's a little longer
than I intended.
Let's get back to Claudia, theItalian.
She comes to some sort ofobsession Exception After she
(40:59):
cries her tears, sees the jeepin peru, in south america.
She's like okay, cool, they'regone.
She and steven fly back to thestates and she's trying to move
on with life, but then she's Ican't remember what they're
doing exactly but the butler thesame butler who bought her, who
brought her the manila envelopesays m Mrs Carrington, you have
a phone call.
(41:20):
Claudia goes to the phone, shestarts listening and it is a
country and western soundingClaudia, we need our family,
you're our family.
I'm like oh my God, that'sMatthew.
She hears this and she goeshysteric.
She starts flipping the hellout.
As any naturally sane or insane.
(41:40):
If you hear a voice from beyond, you're going to flip out a
little bit.
So she's like Matthew now she'sfreaking out.
It is so upsetting, it is soterrible.
But I have my own theory.
I would like to go on recordand say season 4, episode 20 the
butler is the most consistentperson in this scene.
It's got to be him.
(42:01):
I don't know who the hell he is.
I don't know why he's doingthis, but I feel like it's the
butler.
He's coming out of nowhere.
Every time I turn around he'sdelivering some bad news to her.
It is him personally now.
Mind you, I've only seen him intwo episodes.
But that's all I need.
I will be loud and wrong if Ineed to be.
Leave the woman alone, matthew.
(42:23):
I was never a fan of matthew,but you know what?
If he is alive, guess what?
I need her to sue his ass forfilth.
Don't forget that on season oneshe had to testify.
She had to humiliate herself incourt and admit that she had a
whole affair, even though he hada whole affair before her.
Then he had the nerve to getpissed, even though he'd been
sleeping with Crystal all thistime.
(42:43):
Snatch up her baby after theyhave an accident, wait till she
was in damn near a coma and thendrive off with her kid.
He's going to jail forkidnapping.
She has been losing her mindever since and she's slinging
cabbage patch dolls off the topof the Empire State Building,
etc.
He better do a bid.
That's the least he could dofor the pain and suffering that
(43:04):
she's had to endure all thistime.
This was a good episode.
There was a lot to learn onthis one, I think.
Shelly, I want to thank you forcontributions to this episode
because you really got methinking.
Wisdom doesn't just come withage.
Wisdom comes with experience.
Claudia has a lot of wisdom,crystal has a lot of wisdom.
(43:24):
A lot of these people on theshow have a lot of wisdom, and
you got to listen to that.
There was a heartwarming,heartwarming, heartwarming scene
.
This episode that I'm going toleave out.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys andgirls, this is Soap Lure.
Hello, gorgeous, welcome orwelcome back to another
fun-filled edition of Soap Lure.
I'm your hostess, rachel Mosley, or at least I'd like to
believe that.
(01:02):
I'm Jack, viewing and reviewingsome of the Sophia's primetime
stories of ago.
We are in for another treat.
We're still in Denver.
We're back on Dynasty.
At the time of this recording, Ihave not watched the show.
I decided I left you guys fortoo long.
Let's do some back to back toback to back realness.
(01:24):
We are on season four, episode20, which means we are near the
end of the season.
They are up in the ante, up inthe antics.
I'm expecting the unexpected.
They're quite literallybuilding up to something a
little bit interesting.
This episode is called theVoice.
There's no doubt in my mindthis is about our girl, claudia
(01:45):
the Stallion.
Well, we'll get into that herein a second.
I hope your day is shaping upwell.
I hope you've had a wonderfulday.
If you haven't, guess what?
We're going to go back to myboom Baptist days.
One of my BTU teachers used tosay hey, before you kids come in
here acting a teetotal fool,we're going to kick the devil
(02:08):
out.
And basically you got to justkind of pop lock and just fist,
fight the air frantically, act,just exert as much energy as you
could, act like you were theTasmanian devil and you threw
all that energy out of the door.
That's what we're going to doright now, because we're going
to watch our stories.
Please, pardon my dogperiwinkle she's in the
background acting up a littlebit.
She watches my soaps with mesometimes.
(02:30):
So go ahead and pour yourselfsome, pour yourself up something
bubbly and bright as we jumpinto season 4, episode 20 of
dynasty, the voice.
All right, guys, before we jumpinto the show, I want to jump
into some fan mail, some hottakes.
I tell you what this wholebeauty pageant thing is really
(02:55):
sparked a conversation that Ididn't know we needed.
I'm so glad we're in it.
Though, before we go there Iwant to shout out my friend Kip,
who reminded me the last timewe did Dallas.
I went on and on and on abouthow Jock and Ellie knew that Ray
was Jock's son.
That wasn't the case.
They knew about the affair.
(03:16):
Jock knew he had an affair.
He told Ellie as soon as he gothome.
It wasn't a surprise when Rayshowed up on their doorsteps
although I struggle with that,because when you say it out loud
, jock had an affair with thisother woman.
And then you look at Ray, theylook very, very similar.
Yes, ray's not as tall as him,but the striking blue eyes, the,
the kind of the way they stand,it's very much the same.
(03:39):
But thank you for that.
I'm not out here trying to justspew misinformation, especially
for the newbies who are watchingthis and then listening to the
show.
I hope you're doing it in thatorder.
I hope you're watching theshows first and then listening
to me and then coming up withyour own point of view and I'd
love to hear your point of view.
(03:59):
It is the brightest part, oneof the brightest parts of my day
.
You can always text me if youare on your mobile device.
God don't I sound like an 87year old woman.
If you're on your mobile phone,you can look in the show notes
and text full disclosure.
I can't text you back but Iwill always acknowledge, send me
an email like it's 1997,because I love that to
(04:27):
S-O-A-P-L-O-R-E-P-O-D-C-A-S-T atgmailcom.
That is SoapLorePodcast atgmailcom.
So thank you, kip, for thecorrection.
You're absolutely right, theydidn't know.
But man, that is really justgetting extra, extra messy.
(04:47):
I can't wait to get back toDallas Before we do that.
I am being chewed alive a littlebit for my opinions on who
should and shouldn't participatein the beauty pageant.
Let me just say, fulldisclosure, I grew up watching
pageants, participated in acouple and my whole thing is
that it does.
(05:08):
You don't just show up at apageant.
Yes, you might show upregionally, but you have to have
a little bit of pizzazz.
You have to have a little bitof something that makes the
audience want to come back formore.
You have to have, you have toknow how to catch us, and I'm
thinking about that with some ofthe men, and that's not always
a case.
Some of them are just popularby proxy.
(05:28):
It's one thing to take off yourshirt and be greasy, but can
you hold my attention?
That's what I'm saying.
Shelly, a fellow millennial fromFlorida, does not agree.
She feels like I'm all out ofwhack and we're going to jump
into her.
All out of whack and we'regonna jump into her.
(05:49):
Her.
Thank you, shelly.
Thank you for your email.
She has opinions.
So Shelly writes that she is amillennial born in the 80s,
watching these shows for thefirst time.
She agrees that they areawesome, but I have it all wrong
when it comes to the categories.
Okay, she says, jet, there'sabsolutely no way you can leave
out the silvered haired foxcategory.
It's not only necessary, butit's an essential addition to
(06:12):
the vintage primetime all malereview.
Beauty pageant.
First of all, beauty pageantsaren't just about youth.
It's about presence, confidenceand yes, swagger, which isn't
handed out at birth.
It's earned over decades ofvictories and lessons,
reinventions and battle scars.
A man like Richard from FalconCrest or Philip from Falcon
(06:32):
Crest carries an aura built onyears of command, charm and
refined sophistication.
These guys just aren'tcharacters.
They embody the experience instyle, providing that charisma
that only deepens with time.
She also adds a swagger is aninstant.
It's a slow burn that turnsinto a legacy force.
(06:52):
I like that take.
I like that a young man canwalk into a room and be noticed,
sure, but an older man with asharp suit, measured gaze and an
effortless presence, hecommands attention without
asking for it.
He's the one with lifetimesworth of wisdom, lessons learned
the hard way and a refined edgethat makes every word count.
(07:15):
That's why age before beautyisn't a rule, it's reality,
because beauty without depth isfleeting, but depth with beauty
that's timeless.
She goes on to say jock fromdallas, blake from dynasty
belong in the pageant, theirliving proof that swagger and
(07:36):
power don't fade, they evolve.
And anyone who doubts that?
Well, they just aren't payingattention.
Shelly, baby girl, you havecompletely convinced me.
You are absolutely right.
There is something so refinedand I find this the older I get
there is something so refinedabout the confidence of a full
(07:58):
grown man.
You're right, it is a quietconfidence, it is a commanding
presence, it is alluring withoutsaying a word.
And that's power.
You are absolutely right.
Anyone can take off their shirt.
Anyone can do, you know, ahundred squats, whatever.
We can watch your gym broroutine and I'm not saying
that's bad, but she's right.
(08:18):
There is something with whatdid.
How does she put it, girl?
She said age before beautyisn't a rule, it's a reality,
because beauty without depth isfleeting, but depth with beauty
is timeless.
Sold, sold, sold.
(08:39):
We have just added a silver foxcategory to the all-male vintage
primetime review.
Now the only little caveat thatI have, miss shelly, is that
girl, how you gonna put richard?
Richard ain't old.
Richard has old man tendencies.
I have thought that from thebeginning, so I could totally
(09:00):
understand how you could thinkthat.
But richard is not old.
Richard is a few years olderthan Chase and by my estimation
they're 40-ish, which is, youknow, that's wrong.
We're good and grown.
Millennials are hitting the 40s.
That's not like.
That's not 80.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a totally differentthing.
But oh, ok, let's throw that inthere.
(09:22):
Do you think Philip?
Do you think Jock?
I think Jock's.
Oh god, I can see Jock has adifferent sort of swagger.
He's a haggard old, um, wildcatter.
He's been wheeling and dealinghe's.
He was JR.
I think JR inherited more swag,I don't know where from, but he
got it.
He got like a double dose.
Philip is sly.
Um, I don't know how far you arebecause you're not naming
(09:46):
everybody, so I'm gonna watch mymouth here.
Enjoy the show.
Well, obviously, if you'vegotten this far, you know who's
in there.
I don't disagree, the silverhaired boxes have to be there,
and let's, let's.
I don't know if we want to putan age limit on that.
I don't think chase and richardwould be considered.
(10:06):
Oh, but they, because they'resomeone's dad, because they have
adult children, I'll allow it.
I'll allow it.
I think that's.
That's relative to them all.
Right, guys, let's go ahead andjump into season four, episode
20, and find out what's going onwith my girl, claudia, the
stallion.
Justice for Claudia.
I'm not gonna lie, I cringethrough a lot of this because my
(10:31):
least favorite people are frontand center.
This episode is all aboutglobetrotting to prove a point,
globetrotting to secure someinformation, and globetrotting
for the sake of love.
It all involves theCarrington's, which is just.
It is what it is.
So, obviously, when you hearsomething called the voice, who
(10:54):
would hear voices other thanClaudia the stallion?
She's, she's a two time felon orI don't know what you'd call
someone who's in an insaneasylum twice.
She's not necessarily a felon,but she is a two-time recipient
of the Not Sane Award, so shehas to be very delicate in the
way that she moves throughoutthe world.
(11:14):
That's irrelevant.
We'll get to her here in asecond.
We got to talk about MissStanky Leg herself.
She is back on her two noodleleg feet.
She is moving around and she'strying to make up for time.
Fallon wants to make sure thatshe is staying abreast of all
the latest developments with herhotel La Mirage, which is at
the center of all of theactivities in Denver.
(11:35):
But she's also realizing that,like dang, I really, really
really do keep picking the wrongperson.
She's quickly getting overPeter, which I wouldn't expect
anything less from a soap opera.
Obviously, you don't have timeto linger and to dwell on
something that has alreadyhappened.
(11:56):
What can you do about what'sbeen done?
But someone who alsounderstands this is Jeff Colby.
Jeff understands that he has avery limited window when it
comes to the love of Fallon.
Love is a very generous word.
I think he can hold herattention for a very small
amount of time and he's going totake advantage of that on this
episode.
So Jeff decides before Fallongets too independent, let me
(12:21):
slip in there and see if I can'tcoax her into a little bit of
vacation independent.
Let me slip in there and see ifI can't coax her into a little
bit vacation.
The whole long and short of thisepisode is that blake is going
to go to hong kong to handlesome business.
Crystal's going to go with him,because that leaves the mansion
a little bit more open.
Jeff decides this is theperfect opportunity to reach out
(12:41):
to fallon and take her to Aspen.
Let's go skiing.
Girl, you just learned to walkagain.
I think the best thing we coulddo for your very weak and
wobbly knees is put you on apair of skis, pair of toothpicks
.
Let's send you down a side of amountain.
Can't imagine what can go wrongwith that.
That's irrelevant because Jeffknows, okay, listen.
(13:03):
With that, that's irrelevantbecause Jeff knows, okay, listen
, fallon has picked the wrongguy after me at least two or
three times.
The least I can do is throw myshot out there.
So he does.
He approaches her and I think hefinally realizes this episode,
that, hey, I seem to be the surething, the safe bet.
I'm not exciting to her.
She keeps speaking to peoplewho are not necessarily more
(13:25):
handsome than me, they're notnecessarily wealthier than me,
they're just.
They have something that shewants.
They are captivating herattention for longer periods of
time.
So what can I do?
If I've been predictable, letme just flip that.
Let me uno reverse this wholething.
Fallon, I'm not going to go towork today.
I'm going gonna go to worktoday.
I'm gonna go to Aspen.
You want to go to hell withwork.
(13:47):
And she's like oh, my god, jeff, you're giving up your
administrative task.
Yes, absolutely, I will flywith you to Aspen.
To hell with that kid Blake wemade.
Let's go to Aspen.
Okay, now I wanted to hate onthis whole scene because I'm
absolutely, completely annoyedwith this and it's just like.
(14:07):
I feel like Regina George, stoptrying to make fetch happen.
It's never going to happen,fetch being this relationship.
They don't have the chemistry.
You are fun when I haveabsolutely nothing to do, jeff,
jeff.
But instead they keep trying tomake fetch happen.
(14:27):
He's obsessed with her and Iain't gonna lie.
They get to Aspen and I don'tknow who did the lighting, but
we all know Jeff is handsome,but he looks like a whole entire
snack.
He looks scrumdiddly umptiousand Fallon can't help herself.
She said you know what?
Let me go and take a littlenibble, let me take a little
bite.
They do their thing, but shestarts having these like weird
(14:49):
headaches.
I hope this means she's gonnahave a split personality in the
next few episodes, because I'mlike why didn't she have a
headache when she was in thehospital?
Maybe because her legs weren'tworking?
I don't know, but she keepsshowing the audience.
Oh my God, ah, ah, ah, theseheadaches.
Jeff somehow convinces her thatnot only is he the good thing
(15:13):
and the safe bet, but he's alsodangerous.
He has a dangerous side.
She's like you know what?
That's my ish, that's my cup oftea.
Go ahead, jeff Colby, take meto bed.
They go to bed with each other.
It is not at all romantic, it isnot at all a surprise, it is
very predictable and I am leftwanting and disappointed.
(15:35):
Not that I judge my own lifeover other people's on-screen
sex chemistry, but there is none.
I think it's time to hang it up.
Let's let this go.
This is never going to be athing, but on this episode, just
know she hooks up with him.
Oh, I'm cold, jeff, oh my God,you're so dangerous.
You're such a bad boy, god.
(15:58):
If I have to explain what a badboy is, then you're just not it
.
If I have to give you anexplanation, you ain't it.
I'm not going to sit, listen.
Listen, dynasty, I don't.
Perry agrees with me.
De Blasio, calm down, we got tomove on.
(16:18):
I don't really give a damn oneway or another.
All I know is she's havingheadaches.
Hopefully she has a psychoticepisode within the next four to
five episodes.
You know what?
I'm not letting it go.
Actually, I will never let itgo.
Why is Jeff the the doormat?
Why is he?
Good luck, chuck.
Why is?
Every time Jeff touches a woman, they go running for the hills.
They either run to Hollywood,they uh steal keys from him, go
(16:43):
back to the insane asylum?
Jeff can't catch a break.
If his life depended on, hecouldn't hit water.
He fell out of a yacht.
This kid is is he bad newsbears?
I don't know what the heck isgoing on.
Why does he keep running intothese, these fiascos?
I hate that they are trying todrag Fallon into this.
That was never, never going tohappen.
(17:04):
The best thing they could havedone is on season one, when he
called her, their relationship,like a perverse relationship
between an iguana and a human orsomething like that.
I can't remember what he said,but he cussed everybody out at
the birthday party.
Then he was bathing in the sunwith baby oil and bacon grease
and whatnot by the pool.
Fallon came out there.
He read her for filth.
(17:24):
That's where we should haveleft it.
Next thing, you know, sheknocked up by him, even though
she was messing with his uncle,who almost was her daddy.
I'm so sick of this.
Let Jeff and Fallon go and hesays oh my God, you're so
interesting, you're so diverse.
Fallon, don't you want me?
I'm dangerous.
I didn't call in the worst, sir.
That's not dangerous.
(17:45):
That's called being over 30.
That means you understand whatpto is.
You also have to understandjeff colby owns half of colby co
and he has a huge stake indenver, carrington.
He could.
He could fart in the wind allday, every day, and never show
up and be just fine.
This, this is what pisses meoff so much.
There is no chemistry there.
(18:06):
Can we please let this go?
There's 97 other broads on thisshow.
You know what works the Dharmaand Greg trope.
We need a hippie, I need anearthy.
I need a crunchy, granola,barefoot, chinchilla, armpit
type woman for Jeff, and thenI'll believe he's into her.
I refuse to believe that.
(18:27):
He wants one dimensional, real,thin, no shade to her body, not
body shame.
And I'm just saying.
You know he don't want that.
And sadly, she wants what shewants geriatric billionaire.
She wants coked out playboy.
She wants a doctor with a badEast Coast attitude.
(18:51):
I'm over it, jeff.
It was never going to happen.
But I'm supposed to believethey're going to bang bang on
flannel sheets and everything'ssupposed to be Gucci, golden and
perfect.
She don't want you.
She had that baby because herfather told her to, which is
probably one of the mostdisturbing things I've ever
heard in my life.
But here we are.
Thank you for listening.
(19:12):
I just need to get that off mychest.
This is becoming a whole thing.
We gotta let it go.
I understand that the chase isromantic, the frenemies trope is
a whole thing, but she justdon't want him.
He's boring and she called himstiff, which I really
appreciated because I recall atthe beginning of this episode
(19:33):
full disclosure, yeah, so what?
I watched this at work of thisepisode.
Full disclosure, yeah, so what?
I watched this at work.
I'm good at my job.
I watched this at work and thenI had the nerve to be annoyed
when I had to do work.
I'm like what?
Just stop asking me questions.
I'm watching Dynasty, but yeah,he is a little bit stiff.
It's not that he is.
(19:53):
Some people are stiff and rigidto rules because they want to
make sure things flow swiftly.
He doesn't even seem like that,he just seems like he's just
naturally a little bit stiff.
He has a little bit more of aboring taste, and there's
nothing wrong with that.
However, for someone like her,who is a globetrotter she's
sleeping with all sorts of dudesYou're just not going to pique
(20:16):
her interest.
Thank God you're her baby daddy, because you're going to be
solid, way more solid than afilibuster could ever be.
But that's the long and shortof it.
Let it go.
Jeff needs someone entirelydifferent than him, entirely
Socioeconomically, everything.
She needs to be totally,totally different than him,
entirely Socioeconomicallyeverything.
She needs to be totally,totally different from him.
(20:38):
Anyway, that's neither here northere.
This episode made me solidify afew things.
With this being episode 20,we're almost at the end of this
season I have decided fully howI feel about the bit players
Number one.
Dex dexter is that dude.
He is him with a capital h.
(21:00):
He is the man boyfriend.
I love everything about dexdexter, from his just perfectly
erect posture to his back hairproudly displayed on national
television in front of God andeverybody.
I also like the fact that DexDexter don't give a damn about a
closed door.
On the last episode I left thispart out.
(21:21):
You know, I like to say thedevil works hard, but Kris
Jenner works harder.
Dex Dexter has to work evenharder than Kris Jenner and JR,
because somehow he knows anytime.
Blake is about to have a meeting.
I don't know if he senses it inhis blood, if he smells it in
the air, but he kicks.
Now he bursts through doorslike it's his business.
(21:44):
Blake, you in here having ameeting.
What's this about?
I'm on the board.
I know you don't have nounsanctioned meeting.
And Blake's like not only am Ihaving an unsanctioned meeting,
I am not meeting with thecompany of this man, I'm meeting
with the man of this man,whatever that means.
He then scolds Dexter you saidyou was a big boy.
You said you were used to thebig time.
(22:05):
This is the big time, baby boy,get used to it.
Dexter is not going to let thatgo.
Now here's the thing he'sstarting to be a little bit
colluded in the mind becausehe's so into Alexis.
He's starting to be paranoidabout the relationship between
Alexis and Blake Carrington.
Again, I feel like this isfetch.
I don't see this happening.
(22:25):
She wants to destroy him, soher obsession is more about his
detriment, not the benefit ofhim, which which is totally
different.
But I guess if you're a manpining for a woman's attention,
you want all of it, good, bad orindifferent.
He is slowly learning that hewill be a stepdad to children
(22:46):
who are within seven or eightyears of his age, which is
difficult because Alexis is.
She may not be a hands-on momin the traditional sense, but
she definitely cares about herkids.
So he is navigating that well.
I like everything about Dexter.
I love how he comforted herlast episode.
I love how he brought her intobusiness.
(23:08):
I love that he wants to see thebest for her.
I love that he ain't afraid tokick down a door and embarrass
himself so that he can make surehe and his woman are in the
best light.
I love it.
I love everything about him.
God, I hope he's on for that.
I don't know how long he'sgonna be on.
They don't seem to hold on topeople very long on.
Dynasty is what I'm noticing,but I hope Dexter is here to
(23:32):
stay now.
On the other hand, I was fullyexcited about Tracy.
I saw something weird in hereyes.
I saw a little bit of thequality of the stallion some of
that.
Maybe.
I've spent a little bit of timein an insane asylum type
situation.
Unfortunately, tracy is messyto be messy, which I can't fully
appreciate.
Listen, I'm going to be withyou when you are right.
(23:55):
Tracy deserved the PR positionover Crystal.
Hands down, no question aboutit.
I will never, never, never,deny that fact.
However, you going above andbeyond, you being all in
people's personal calendarsbefore they were digital is a
problem for me.
So on this, this episode,crystal shows up in her cream.
(24:17):
This time she shows up in creamand silk because she is her.
She is no longer worried aboutspending $100,000 a season for
her wardrobe.
She's her.
She's that girl.
She's going to put it on everysingle time she steps out.
Well, she's minding herbusiness.
Blake is about to go to Asia,somewhere in Asia, tracy's in
the room and Tracy lets thebeans spill like Crystal.
(24:40):
Should you really be travelingwhen you pregnant?
I'm so sorry, girl.
I saw on your calendar that youwere going to the OBGYN.
How do you know that wasn't herannual physical?
Gentlemen who are listening,I'm sorry if this makes you a
little bit squeamish, but youknow what.
This is life.
These are the questions that allwomen are thinking.
It's okay, it's, it's fine, Ipromise you.
How do you know she just wasn'tan annual physical?
(25:01):
How do you know?
Maybe she wanted to change herbirth control?
You don't know what what shewas going for.
But tracy is messy and I canappreciate mess when there is an
actual return on the mess.
But this is just messy to bemessy.
You already got the deal.
You are already blake's um prperson as a what is he?
He's like a congressman orchairman or something.
(25:24):
He's some vague governmentposition.
You've already got that.
Why are you messing withcrystal?
I don't normally take up forher, but I need you to back up.
Back up, because it's about tobe on.
Crystal is from Ohio.
Oh, I don't play with her.
She's going to mess around andremember her roots and drag you
through a studio.
(25:44):
She did it to Alexis.
She'll do it to you as theepisode progresses, crystal has
no choice but to confess toBlake that, yes, I think I'm
pregnant.
I'm just a little bit nervous,and I was nervous to tell you.
They work through this becauseof course, this is what he wants
.
You're my wife, I love you, youlove me.
There's nothing more beautiful,nothing more sacred than
creating a life between the twoof us.
(26:06):
It's a beautiful.
Crystal is in the family way.
Congratulations to crystal.
Now I thought she had a weirdshape, uterus or something.
I can't wait till Alexis findsout.
She's going to flip her lid,which is not the best because
she's already going through somuch.
Each one of her kids is showingtheir entire behind in a
(26:27):
totally different way.
Fallon kicked her out of thehospital.
She's very, very sad about that.
Adam is about to marry thehelp's daughter, which is you.
It's a whole thing.
And now he's mad at her.
So that's one thing.
And then, lord, have mercy.
Claudia the stallion isembarrassing the entire
(26:49):
carrington.
Slash colby Glenn by runningaround embracing her psychosis.
That girl is nuts.
And Alexis can't have herrunning around looking for
ghosts.
It's embarrassing.
So on this episode she has tobe on top of several things.
First things first, stephen,come on to my office.
(27:11):
I am really glad the felon hasLa Mirage, because this begins
to get very, very confusing very, very quickly.
Stephen works for his mother.
He can't stand his father, sohe's working for his mother at
Colby Co.
He's doing a pretty good job.
She calls him into the officebecause he wakes up one morning
(27:31):
in a bedroom where he has thisreally thick like floral
comforter.
And I thought you know what?
This is probably the mostrealistic part of this entire
show.
If you are married, your wife isgoing to decide.
If you're a straight couple,let me just be there.
If you are a heterosexualcouple, obviously the woman is
probably going to be the one whodecorates the bedroom.
(27:52):
Men tend to not care about thatone way or another.
So she has this really heavyfloral comforter.
This whole situation.
It looks very, very comforting.
It looks like the JCPenney's.
You remember when they used tomake those little half beds.
I remember my brother didn'trealize that those were fake and
he just leaps into one and itwas just nothing but plywood.
And it was just nothing butplywood.
(28:15):
Sorry, sorry, I told that butit was funny, it was hilarious,
must you get?
Steven is sleeping peacefully inthis ocean of floral and cream.
When he reaches over tohopefully find his wife.
Unfortunately for him, he findsa note.
Claudia is like yo.
I'm so sorry to embarrass you,but I had to go to South America
(28:37):
.
She has been tormented non-stop.
I don't blame her.
She has to get to the bottom ofthis.
But because we all know she'sbeen in the insane asylum, it's
very easy to believe that she ishaving an episode.
However, she's not.
That has to be the mostfrustrating part about going
quote-unquote crazy when in factthere were a series of events
(28:58):
that happened and you had a snap.
You had a mental snap.
It's perfectly fine.
Alexis gets wind of this and shebrings steven into the office
and she says now, steven,clearly you're my favorite child
, clearly.
But when I say you are acting ateetotal, you are acting a
(29:18):
teetotal.
You are boo-boo the fool rightnow.
And I need you to understandsomething.
What sense does it make foryour woman, who has been in the
Cuckoo House, to go runningaround the globe looking for
clues after she's been in theCuckoo House?
What sense does it make for youto jump on a plane and chase
this woman who has been in theCuckoo house?
What sense does it make for youto jump on a plane and chase
this woman who has been in theCuckoo house, as she runs around
(29:39):
the globe?
Doesn't that make you a Cuckootoo?
Basically, she says don't be afool, let's send a psychiatrist,
let's send her doctor, theperson who gave her the
diagnosis, let's send himhalfway across the world so that
some of this is going to makesense at some point he can tell
(30:02):
her hey, you tripping yourhusband been dead.
I need you to relax.
Stephen's not having.
He's like mama.
It'd be one thing if she wasmaking this up, but I saw the
notes, I saw all the things.
She clearly is seeing something.
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna be agood man, I'm gonna follow my
woman down to south america, soon.
There is not a lot of.
There's a little bit ofdiversity, which is funny
because in America, obviouslythe diversity is gonna be other
(30:22):
Americans, right, which isrelatively diverse.
But when you go to SouthAmerica, literally the only
Spanish I heard was BienvenidosComo estas.
Very basic, very pamphlet-likeEspanol.
Claudia gets down to SouthAmerica and her guide is trying
(30:48):
to tell her okay, this is what'sthis.
This is that when suddenly MrPat Dunn Albuquerque, born and
bred as he presents himself,starts jaw jacking yeah, yeah,
blah, blah, blah.
By the end of their timetogether, it is very clear that
Mr Pat Dunn wants Claudia's PatDunnese.
(31:10):
He wants Panties.
He's trying to get in a draw.
Whoa, she's not really into it.
Like, dude, it like do back up,back up, I don't need you,
please leave me alone.
She thought he was going tohelp her with her daughter.
She's asking personal questionsand that's the thing that
pisses me off.
It's not just that she lost herhusband, she lost her daughter
too.
He is very insensitive to that,even though he's a hottie.
(31:30):
I'm gonna let that ride.
I'm gonna keep his face in mindbecause if perspective was true
, he'll be on another soap operavery, very soon.
So as she's telling him listen,I'm not interested in your
advances, all I want is myfamily and all I need is a clues
to find my family or tounderstand what happened to him.
He keeps pursuing her.
Come on, don't you want me?
(31:52):
Blah, blah, blah.
Next thing, I know new face,stephen pops up like hey, didn't
you hear the lady?
I need you to back up.
She don't you want me.
Blah, blah, blah.
Next thing, I know new face,stephen pops up like hey, didn't
you hear the lady?
I need you to back up, shedon't want nothing to do with
you.
Mr Pat Dunn falls to the wayside, stephen and Claudia are guided
through the jungle andunfortunately and I mean this
(32:12):
from the bottom of my heart,unfortunately the Jeep where
Matthew and Lindsay allegedlyperished is still sitting in the
jungle.
It is burned and the guideexplains to her listen, no, we
didn't find any bodies, butthat's not unusual.
This is the jungle baby.
I need you to understand thatin the jungle, this ain't a zoo.
(32:35):
This isn't the woods, this isthe jungle baby.
I need you to understand thatin the jungle, this ain't a zoo.
This isn't the woods, this isthe jungle.
This is nature at its most raw,real and uncut.
People are drug away by wildanimals every single day.
We have a very difficult timebelieving that they were not
drug away.
So in the real world you'd belike, okay, I kind of accept
that In sober upper land ain'tno bodies, which means they
(32:57):
could be anywhere.
They could be walking aroundwith amnesia, they could be
doing all sorts of weird things,but we just don't know.
Would they be capable ofsending her these sort of coded
messages.
Why would Matthew just come outof the woodworks?
I don't believe Matthew's alivefor that reason, because he'd
have no reason to hide hisidentity.
(33:18):
He knows where she is, he knowswhere she lives, he knows that
she's married and he's stillsending these things allegedly.
This has to be someone else.
We'll get to that by the end ofthe episode.
I need to touch on my girl,kirby.
This episode, uh, kirby is alsopersona non grata on the set
because they keep giving her themost matronly, historically
(33:38):
inaccurate robes to wear aroundthe house as a 21, 22 year old
woman.
I just have a very difficulttime believing that.
She's dressing like LauraIngalls Wilder the entire time.
She looks like she's been at arenaissance fair.
This episode she's only in onescene.
She's in the kitchen with Adam.
He is sipping wine.
(33:58):
She comes down.
She wants Adam to help her findher mom.
Yo, my mom's alive.
You would think if anyone onearth would understand that, it
would be Adam.
And I'm slowly starting tounderstand their relationship
together.
So they are both two people whowere, who grew up without their
mother.
Whether that was a rejection orwhether it was just
circumstances that were beyondtheir control, they grew up
(34:21):
without a mother.
They grew up in a place thatthey didn't really belong and
now they both want to make abetter life for themselves.
And this is where they start todiffer.
I don't think Kirby cares oneway or another about wealth,
about status, about anythinglike that.
She was fully in love with Jeff.
She just wanted to be Mrs JeffColey.
(34:44):
Adam is on a redemption tourand, for whatever reason, he
sees Kirby as the perfect pawnin this particular situation.
And I don't really see that,because, okay, you're not going
to gain status by having Kirby.
Yes, if she has a baby, that'sone thing, but any woman he has
(35:06):
a baby with is going to be aCarrington baby, so why would
that even matter?
Kirby also is well-liked.
I was thinking about this todayon my way to work.
Kirby also is well-liked.
I was thinking about this todayon my way to work.
There's nothing to dislikeabout Kirby.
She's not invasive, she's notdisruptive.
She doesn't really seem to haveany.
(35:26):
I'm not saying she doesn't haveany goals, but she's not here
to disrupt anything, but Adam is.
So it's only a matter of time,in my personal opinion, before
that crumbles.
She's like yo, you told me youwould help me find my mom.
He's like hey, we got a taskhere, we got to focus, we got to
get Adam on some meds, we gotto get him on some Prozac or
something, because this rapeyvibe, this super intense vibe,
(35:49):
is beginning to mess up things.
What it doesn't mess up is hisvision, because he sees his
mother as a problem.
Oh, you don't like my wife.
I got something to say to you.
So he goes over to Colby Co andI have to remember that he
works for Denver Carrington, heworks for Blake, stephen works
for Alexis.
(36:10):
Let's put a pin in that becausewe got to talk about Blake.
So Blake originally thought hewould take Crystal to Hong Kong
with him so he can handle somebusiness.
There are some newbreakthroughs and some whatever
blah, blah, blah legalities.
Usa, blah, blah, blah.
Crystal newly pregnant.
(36:30):
Her doctor advises her not todo anything strenuous and I
guess flying to Hong Kong couldbe strenuous.
She's gonna go ahead and stayhome.
She encourages Blake to takeTracy.
Tracy's gonna know what to do.
Tracy is that chick.
Let's just take her.
He thinks that's a great idea.
They show up in Hong Kong andthey're waiting for this
diplomat to show up and, to myshock, awe and surprise.
(36:54):
We just talked about this manyesterday.
Ahmad Rashid not Hadid shows upand he's like hey, hey, hey,
guess who's back in the blub,blub, blub house?
Looks like Ahmad Rashid, whatthe heck are you doing here?
He's like funny thing, acountry hired me to do business,
(37:15):
so do you want to do businessover?
Like funny thing, a countryhired me to do business, so do
you want to do business overhere or not?
They have a whole businessdiscussion.
It's a little bit weird.
Blake feels a way, because he'sbeen screwed over by this man
one time before.
He's not going to do this again.
So he puts a couple ofparameters in place.
He's stalling a little bit.
He's like hey, tracy's here notonly as my PR person person,
(37:37):
but as a witness.
I don't trust you any furtherthan I can throw you.
He starts to do a little bit ofa background check on Ahmed.
Okay, let's go back to Adam.
This coincides right about thetime that Adam goes over to
Alexis's office to tell her toback up because he's gonna marry
Kirby.
He does not appreciate hertrying to give her a new job in
Paris and all that.
That was not cool.
It was even worse that sheexposed her mother.
(38:01):
It was just horrible.
And he was like I need you tochill out or we're not going to
be cool.
So, as Alexis is listening, hersecretary her male secretary
burst in the room like Dexterand he's like I'm so sorry, miss
Alexis, but, adam, you have aphone call.
You can take it on line one.
Adam takes a phone call.
He's like uh-huh, uh-huh, it'sBlake.
Blake wants him to check intoAhmad Rashid.
(38:23):
So he writes this.
Adam ends over, he writes thison a notepad.
He snatches a paper off whenhe's done.
I respected this so much.
He was like mom, you were inthe middle of saying blah, blah,
blah.
They pick up where theconversation left off.
Actually, they know.
Alexis is like well, youalready feel how you feel.
There's no point in me pushingthis any further.
I've said my piece, let's justlet it go.
He's like bet, I gotta go, loveyou, love you too.
(38:46):
Well, she's smart and she startsdoing this little task.
I learned in Girl Scouts and Iwas like eight years old where
you can do uh like leaf rumming.
Basically you run a pencil orcrayon over a sheet of paper.
You can see what was thereprevious, or you can put
something underneath and makethis really cool piece of art.
She does that and she quicklysees the name Ahmad Rashid.
(39:08):
Now, luckily for Alexa, she isan international play girl.
That's one of her booskies,that's one of the dudes on her
list.
So she's like oh bet, shestarts reaching out to her
do-dirt people because now shehas resources.
She wants to know hey, find outeverything that I mean ahmad
rashid is doing right now.
So she now has the upper handsort of or at least some skin in
(39:31):
the game.
When it comes to blake'sbusinesses, I will say this
season she hasn't been heavy onher business because her kids
have been running a complete andtotal muck.
But she seems to be back inthere and I'm excited to see
what happens with Ahmaud Rasheed.
Blake eventually decides that,okay, ahmaud, you're probably
cool enough.
(39:51):
He's considering doing businesswith him.
But before he can get too deepinto that, tracy and he need to
go over some particular, she'slike well, if you're not too
tired, let me go to my room, letme get some notes that I took.
Well, she goes to her room andshe comes back with some very
enticing sort of peachy pinklingerie.
(40:13):
Like Blake, it's alluncomfortable.
It's very clear.
Tracy has an ulterior motiveand I'm like no damn it, tracy,
I thought you wanted the job,you got the job.
What else could you gain atthis point?
Crystal has ops all around herNow I was all for this when this
was all about the PR game.
But Blake, have a seat.
(40:34):
She's even like I'm old.
She seems like I'm powerful.
She just seems to like power.
I don't really know what it is,but Tracy is officially on my
list.
Let's go ahead and wrap this up, because it's a little longer
than I intended.
Let's get back to Claudia, theItalian.
She comes to some sort ofobsession Exception After she
(40:59):
cries her tears, sees the jeepin peru, in south america.
She's like okay, cool, they'regone.
She and steven fly back to thestates and she's trying to move
on with life, but then she's Ican't remember what they're
doing exactly but the butler thesame butler who bought her, who
brought her the manila envelopesays m Mrs Carrington, you have
a phone call.
(41:20):
Claudia goes to the phone, shestarts listening and it is a
country and western soundingClaudia, we need our family,
you're our family.
I'm like oh my God, that'sMatthew.
She hears this and she goeshysteric.
She starts flipping the hellout.
As any naturally sane or insane.
(41:40):
If you hear a voice from beyond, you're going to flip out a
little bit.
So she's like Matthew now she'sfreaking out.
It is so upsetting, it is soterrible.
But I have my own theory.
I would like to go on recordand say season 4, episode 20 the
butler is the most consistentperson in this scene.
It's got to be him.
(42:01):
I don't know who the hell he is.
I don't know why he's doingthis, but I feel like it's the
butler.
He's coming out of nowhere.
Every time I turn around he'sdelivering some bad news to her.
It is him personally now.
Mind you, I've only seen him intwo episodes.
But that's all I need.
I will be loud and wrong if Ineed to be.
Leave the woman alone, matthew.
(42:23):
I was never a fan of matthew,but you know what?
If he is alive, guess what?
I need her to sue his ass forfilth.
Don't forget that on season oneshe had to testify.
She had to humiliate herself incourt and admit that she had a
whole affair, even though he hada whole affair before her.
Then he had the nerve to getpissed, even though he'd been
sleeping with Crystal all thistime.
(42:43):
Snatch up her baby after theyhave an accident, wait till she
was in damn near a coma and thendrive off with her kid.
He's going to jail forkidnapping.
She has been losing her mindever since and she's slinging
cabbage patch dolls off the topof the Empire State Building,
etc.
He better do a bid.
That's the least he could dofor the pain and suffering that
(43:04):
she's had to endure all thistime.
This was a good episode.
There was a lot to learn onthis one, I think.
Shelly, I want to thank you forcontributions to this episode
because you really got methinking.
Wisdom doesn't just come withage.
Wisdom comes with experience.
Claudia has a lot of wisdom,crystal has a lot of wisdom.
(43:24):
A lot of these people on theshow have a lot of wisdom, and
you got to listen to that.
There was a heartwarming,heartwarming, heartwarming scene
.
This episode that I'm going toleave out.
It's a little mother daughtermoment.
