Welcome to the Carrington manor, Cristal Jennings! Although Cristal only had a few minutes of airtime in Friday night’s episode, the character was introduced as a longtime friend of Cristal Flores. When Blake tries to cut her a check, she claims she’s not there for the money and presents Blake a locket with a photo of her and Flores as proof of their friendship. She seems to be sincere – but with Dynasty, nothing is as it seems. Afterall, since Ana Brenda Contreras was cast as the “Real Cristal, ” fans have been left with more questions than answers regarding her identity. What exactly are Jennings’ intentions? Is she really there to help Blake, or could her motives be less sincere?
In classic Dynasty fashion, Kirby Anders brought the DRAMA this episode! It’s clear that Kirby is a force to be reckoned with and has unresolved, deep rooted anger at Fallon stemming from her childhood living at the Carrington estate. She may have left the fight feeling victorious, but in the end Fallon is always one step ahead of her. I’m looking forward to seeing Fallon and Kirby’s relationship ( or lack thereof) throughout the course of the season. Could they work out their differences or are they destined to be enemies for the remainder of the series? Another person bringing the drama this episode? You guessed it. None other than Alexis Carrington. From providing Hank an expensive painting as collateral to breaking into Melissa’s house, Alexis’ eccentric personality and devious ways continues to remind me why Alexis remains a fan-favorite.
Another major storyline that will continue to unfold this season is the sale of Carrington Atlantic. From pretending to be married to Liam to accepting Max’s creepy sexual advances, Fallon is desperate for the sale of the company to go through. Will the sudden death of Uncle Max interfere with the business deal? Something tells me, Liam’s Aunt Mora will do everything in her power to ensure the Ridleys and the Carringtons never do business again.
Dynasty is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic (and glamorous) series this fall, and you do not want to miss an episode. Dynasty airs Friday nights at 8pm on the CW . Grab your popcorn ( and champagne), because Friday night’s just got a whole lot better!
