A month after the fire, Fallon and Culhane are together, but she and Liam have to pretend to still be married to assure that Liam's uncle Max buys Carrington Atlantic. It is revealed that Cristal died in the fire, and Blake returns after a month’s absence mourning her. Steven has not told Sam about Melissa's pregnancy. Anders keeps Kirby hidden from the Carringtons until an arrest is made for the fire. Alexis is finally evicted from the hospital, and returns to Carrington Manor with nowhere else to go. Hank, who is the prime suspect in Cristal's murder, blackmails Alexis, threatening to expose their plan and revealing he started the fire. Blake exposes the truth about Melissa to Sam, who comes to accept the news of the pregnancy. Culhane proposes to Fallon, who accepts; however she flies off to New York with Liam for a meeting with the Van Kirks. Blake berates Alexis for her shameless gold digging, and they fall into bed together. In Arizona, Cristal Jennings watches online coverage of the Carringtons, feeling like she knows them.
