Dynasty Promo & Synopsis – Go Catch Your Horse (5×04)

Reviews

What an explosive season finale!

Can I just say how glad I am that Dynasty didn’t leave us hanging and wondering who was shot?

The end was set up in such a way where it would’ve totally made sense for them to pursue that avenue, but it’s so much more satisfying that we know it was Fallon.

Now, it’s highly unlikely that Fallon is going to die considering she’s the glue that holds the whole show together. 

But it is a heartbreaking turn of events that likely could’ve been prevented had she and Liam contacted the proper authorities. 

This isn’t the first obsessive stalker that they dealt with, so they should know better. Just like Liam should know better than to turn his back to a psycho in his hotel room. Thank god Eva didn’t pull anything when she was there because I was convinced that she was going to lash out after Liam turned her down. 

Fallon and Liam definitely have a lot to work through after she cheated on him with Colin but almost losing her is going to put him in a more forgiving mood. 

I love that Fallon wasn’t trying to shirk responsibility for sleeping with Colin either. 

She owned up to it because, in the end, it was her decision. 

One might argue that if it hadn’t been for Eva’s manipulations and sabotage, she wouldn’t have even pursued it, but even then, she had a choice to turn Colin down and she didn’t. 

It’s important that both Fallon and Liam acknowledge that moving forward, though, my guess is that they’re going to welcome a second chance with open arms after her near-death experience. 

Eva was good, but as most obsessive psychos, she got sloppy towards the end. 

She became too confident and jumped the gun by pursuing Liam immediately after he broke things off with Fallon. 

If she really wanted to make this work, she’d move in gradually and make him fall in love with her. 

But that just goes to show you how unhinged she actually was underneath that sweet little act.

The moment she made a move on him, Liam began piecing it all together and realized Fallon was right. 

And I’m glad he arrived at that conclusion himself because it definitely redeem him in my book slightly. 

It was hard watching Liam side with Eva, a complete stranger, throughout this whole ordeal. Even if Fallon betrayed him, they had such a strong relationship that he should’ve believed her initially.

Thankfully, by coming to Blake’s campaign gala of his own free will, Liam proved that the love was strong even through intense heartache.

I thought Fallon’s rendezvous would’ve ruined #Falliam for me, but, in a strange way, I love them even more because it proves just how much love they have for each other.

 Cheating is a hard thing to forgive, but showing up meant that he was willing to put this behind them, and that’s half the battle.  

Eva was a pretty good villain this season. She meticulously crafted a plan to wedge herself between Fallon and Liam, so it was kind of disappointing when the series made her out to be a stereotypical stalker.

At that point, her behavior became so predictable and uninteresting. 

It would’ve been juicer if they revealed Eva had some kind of former connection to Liam rather than just having her “fall in love” with him because she read his book.

And I still stand by my original theory that Eva and Colin were in cahoots. Wouldn’t that have been so much fun to watch?

Both Beto and Colby showed up to the campaign party/ club relaunch wielding guns, so it’s possible that Fallon isn’t the only one who was shot.

I think Beto got spooked and ran off before he could take his shot at Blake, but I don’t know if Culhane made it out safely. 

Colby wasn’t in his right mind due to the neurotoxicity. His paranoia was getting the best of him, so he wasn’t thinking straight. He could’ve pulled the trigger unintentionally or without even knowing it. 

The worst part is that he wasn’t entirely wrong about Brady. Thanks to the tracker he placed on his phone, he knew that Brady was working with Alexis. Unfortunately, he misinterpreted the motivation and thought Brady was stealing all his Colby Space research, when, in fact, he was trying to humiliate Dom and get all her money. 

I hope this incident spooked Brady all the way back to where he came from. I didn’t vibe with Dom initially, but she’s grown on me throughout the season, and she’s been trying to become a better version of herself. She doesn’t deserve this. 

Plus, Alexis is in jail, so Brady is better off just calling it quits. 

Truthfully, Adam framing his mother is the one thing we should’ve seen coming but didn’t. We were blindsided by Adam’s quirky personality and how much he’s adapted as part of the Carrington family, but the truth is, Adam has never been above murder or turning on his mother to save himself. 

He pushed her into the fire head first for goodness sake. This is what he does. 

Based on his behavior, Adam did seem slightly remorseful, but he also seemed relieved that his plan worked and that he wasn’t being suspected for the murder. 

However, Adam likely should’ve played his cards better because right now, all roads lead back to him anyway. 

Why else would his mother kill the colleague Adam fired? And the same colleague who came back to the hospital looking for his research? 

Amanda Carrington work on the legal side of things, so she’s going to figure it out. And we know her loyalty is with Alexis over Adam. 

Maybe this will finally bring to light all the other horrible things Adam did, including making Steven think he’s crazy and getting him committed?

One could only hope!

Adam likely felt like he had no choice and was pushed into a corner by Bob. Poor Bob thought he could get away with blackmailing Adam — and he probably could have if he didn’t get greedy. If he just took the 5 million, he could’ve been on his way. 

Poor Alexis is going to get chewed up in prison. She’s devious, but this isn’t her playing field at all. 

Also, wouldn’t news of her arrest immediately make the news and taint Blake’s campaign?

Both the shooting and her arrest for murder are not a good look. 

He was so worried about Beto when he should’ve been more focused on his family. 

Sadly, it’s also not a good look for Sammy Jo by proxy. He just wanted to host a great event to boost his hotel, but instead, he’s being dragged down by all this Carrington drama. 

I just want to see Sammy thrive. He deserves it, especially after he poured his soul into this project and even found his footing without Ander’s guidance. 

I have to admit I love how much Anders has played a role from beyond the grave. I think he’s impacting them all a lot more in his death than he did in life. 

The little tribute at the hotel was especially touching, though, it did feel like his official sendoff in the series. 

What did you think of the finale? Will Fallon come out of this unscathed? Will she get a newfound perspective on her relationship?

Wasn’t there security or, at the very least, an invite list for the campaign party?

Is Culhane ok? Will Alexis prove her innocence? Does Adam have a plan to get his mom out of jail?
