Fallon may not have done right by her marriage with Liam, but she had a good hunch about her sister, Amanda.
On Dynasty Season 4 Episode 18, Fallon invested all of her time trying to dig up dirt on Amanda to prove that she was simply trying to use the Carrington name to get ahead.
Liam figured she simply prioritized something else over their marriage once again, and when Amanda proved that the restraining order against her came as a result of a controversial affair with a judge, it really seemed like Fallon was grasping at straws.
Even she admitted that assuming the worst about a random sibling was a toxic Carrington trait.
However, the moment she let her guard down, Adam swooped in to confront Amanda, who definitely had some bad blood in her.
Honestly, nothing gets past Adam because evil recognizes evil. While Fallon was determined to protect the Carrington dynasty, Adam was able to recognize the liar and opportunist in his new sister. After all, regardless of the progress he’s made, he came into the family under terrible pretenses.
But Adam may have found his match in his sister, who knew his exact weak spot was not getting enough of daddy’s love.
Adam started out as the show’s biggest villain, but he’s been reformed, so it was only a matter of time until they brought someone in that was willing to start more trouble. Adam has his limits, but we don’t know that much about Amanda, so her character is limitless.
Why else would Amanda petition to legally change her name mere days after finding out she was a Carrington unless she was bad news.
I can’t even remember how we ever thought that Adam was a threat because he’s downright hilarious these days. His quips, his facial expression — it’s all so great.
But it’s important not to let this version of him cloud our judgement because he’s done some truly terrible things.
Fallon finally acknowledged that she had been neglecting her relationship with Liam. but the damage had already been done.
Liam felt like a complete afterthought to Fallon, and while there was definitely some validity in his feelings, much of that was Eva’s doing.
She weaseled her way into Liam’s life by taking up his hobbies in hopes of vibing with him in a way that Fallon didn’t.
She’s a manipulative snake who is taking advantage of Liam’s vulnerable state, and it’s heartbreaking to watch.
However, he does have a point about Fallon never learning from her mistakes. She’s constantly apologizing, yet she keeps repeating the same actions over and over.
Her apology didn’t even come from a genuine place because she wasn’t entirely sure why Liam was mad in the first place.
She thought he was overreacting the whole time and even had the nerve to call him out about not being able to handle a businesswoman.
Liam has always been supportive of her career, but that’s the only thing that matters to her lately. Something has to give, and right now, it’s her relationship.
Heck, Fallon gave Colin more of her time than she did Liam.

And we all saw her and Colin have a moment, just how we saw Liam and Eva have a moment, as well.
I can’t shake the thought that maybe Colin and Eva are in cahoots. What if they’re trying to break up Liam and Fallon so that they can get her empire. I wouldn’t put it past them.
It cannot be a coincidence that Colin is suddenly “recently divorced.” Or that he’s expressing an interest in Fallon.
I hope Liam and Fallon prove that their relationship is stronger than this, but at this point, it’s not looking good.
Kirby hit the jackpot when she tracked down not one but two of Anders’s USBs to learn that she inherited a fortune.
But you know what’s likely worth more than that fortune? The Carrington family secrets.
She now has all the leverage necessary to get anything she wants!
I love that despite Ander’s close relationship with Blake, he still kept a record of evidence so that he could use it as blackmail if he ever needed it.
Anders was one smart man.
What’s on that USB and how will she use it against them? Will she meddle in Blake’s run for Senate?
There’s definitely a danger to giving a recovering addict such a large sum of money, so hopefully, Kirby invests it or does something smart with it.
Kirby wasn’t the only one inheriting the family fortune. Cristal became the owner of the Flores Empire after her father’s arrest.
Her brother, Beto, blew into town hoping to find evidence of their father’s illegal activity so that he could it over to the cops. He came under the pretenses that he was trying to free himself from their father, but in reality, he was trying to get the family business for himself. And by using Cristal’s evidence, he would wash his hands of it and pit his father’s demise on her.
I would say I’m bummed for him for being completely screwed over by his own plan, but I can’t say that I am. He tried to pull a fast one over Cristal in order to get everything for himself. He deserves what’s coming.
Plus, he used and manipulated Sammy’s feelings to steal the files. Could this guy go stoop lower?
It’s possible we might see the wrath of Beto when it comes to Blake’s campaign, which would surely stir up some drama.
Blake spent much of the episode trying to secure the Black vote.
Black constituents saw right through his pandering and weren’t afraid to call him out on it, so he turned to his half-sister Dom for help.
I’m glad that he was put in his place and informed that the typical political behavior wasn’t going to work.
Dom knew exactly what she was doing; she waited her whole life for Blake to ask her for help, so she knew how to make the situation work in her favor.
And she even got Culhane and Colby in on it, which I never would have expected.
Turns out, everyone has a price, you just have to know what it is.
It’s unclear what Culhane’s request might be if Blake wins, but Colby is definitely going to utilize Blake’s role in his space mission.
Will Blake win the run for Senate with Culhane, Colby, and Dom’s support?
What is Amanda’s ulterior motive? Are Eva and Colin working together to destroy Fallon’s relationship? Seriously, what other reason would Eva have to gaslight Fallon?
And what will Kirby do with all that money and blackmail?
