Cristal thought that coming clean to Blake would not only ease her troubled spirit but keep her past where it belongs. If she voluntarily told him about losing the baby in Venezuela and the money she stole with her sister to pay for the subsequent medical assistance she needed, she would get in front of the story and show Blake that she’s willing to let him in on the parts of herself that she’s most ashamed of. Cristal knows that she’s in a good situation right now, much better than anything she faced in Venezuela, and doesn’t want to mess up her marriage with Blake, but what happens when Blake doesn’t wholly believe this recent bout of soul purging?
On the fall finale of Dynasty, the Carrington household is shook up with the arrival of Cristal’s sister Iris. While Blake might want to believe everything that Cristal told him was the whole truth, full stop, he knows that she’s withheld things from him before and that something about her story doesn’t sit right with him. Rather than let the lingering doubts have a corrosive effect on his new marriage, Blake brings Iris in under the guise of a happy holiday reunion; Cristal and Sam get the surprise of their life when a loved one from half a world away shows up at their door step while Blake gets the opportunity to hear what really happened all those years ago. But considering the way Cristal greets Iris when the two see one another for the first time, he might not have to break out the advanced interrogation techniques to know that there’s something more his wife didn’t divulge.
Elsewhere on Dynasty, Fallon attempts to reunite the Colbys, while Blake faces a power struggle after coming face-to-face with his father for the first time in a while.
The fall finale of Dynasty airs Wednesday at 9:00 on The CW.
Could the frosty reception Cristal gives Iris have to do with the parts of her backstory that Blake and Anders don’t know about? Is it possible that being with Jeff, even in a Friends with Benefits type of arrangement, could do Fallon a world of good? What type of dynamic do you think Blake and Thomas will have?
