871"Let's Start Over Again"Michael A. AllowitzChristopher FifeDecember 20, 2021 (2021-12-20)0.38[2]
Reports of Fallon's death are exaggerated. She's very much alive (surviving a through-and-through gunshot wound) and anxious to ditch the hospital to reverse her company's free-fall with Sam and Kirby's help. Jeff recovers in another ward but is cognizant enough to expose Brady's treachery to Dominique. Alexis is allowed caviar and pumps in prison but denied bail. Amanda starts to gather evidence that Adam (not her mother) murdered Dr. Larson. Blake manipulates the press (again). Exiled Beto sees possibilities in a trashy doppelgänger of Cristal. Fallon gets Liam to admit how angry he still is with her before she lapses into a coma from an undetected infection.
882"That Holiday Spirit"Kenny LeonAubrey Villalobos KarrDecember 20, 2021 (2021-12-20)0.31[2]
Liam rallies the family to have Christmas conversations with comatose Fallon. His are about forgiveness; Kirby tries to stir emotion; Blake confesses vulnerability; Sam and Culhane get hung up on words and holiday decor. Jeff sets up a FBI sting to free Brady of his mob debts, then Dominique parts with him for good. Adam scrambles to find an alibi for the night of the murder, barely keeping ahead of Amanda's investigation. Blake decides to quit the senate race. Dom visits Alexis in prison with bitter tidings. Fallon wavers at death's bright light, then wakes. Beto trains his new protege, Rita, how to behave like Cristal.
893"How Did the Board Meeting Go?"Pascal VerschoorisDavid M. IsraelMarch 11, 2022 (2022-03-11)0.25[3]
The annual Carrington gala hosts a wealth of new partnerships; some desired, some forced. Blake teams with Cristal to coerce a deal for PPA's airfield before Beto kidnaps and replaces her with an impeccably coached Rita. Fallon is put on medical leave by her board so she installs Jeff as the company’s CEO, using the break to reheat passion with Liam. Sam and Kirby try in vain to help Culhane find a soulmate. Amanda tracks footage from a drone that exonerates both her mother and Adam of Dr. Larson’s (shockingly accidental) death. Alexis is released from prison in time to attend the gala where she makes Adam sign over his promising business, then connects with handsome investor Farnsworth “Dex” Dexter.
