Adam wants to spearhead the rescue of Blake and Anders. C3 points out that "a doctor and a writer" (Liam) can't just barge into an Eastern-European country to 'un-kidnap' two people. Adam obviously wants to be a hero to his daddy. Liam actually has visited Moldavia and somehow got hold of the blueprints of the castle, so he has his uses.
Culhane acts all enthusiastic about the show to Dom and Vanessa, but tells Kirby he has a plan to turn the tables on them. Some guy who has seen the early cuts of the show is offering Dominique her own talk show, and she gets stars (or are they dollar signs?) in her eyes.
A&B's guards tell them that if they release the oil tankers, the King will let them go. Deal? Blake spits in the guy's face, and gets punched out cold for the effort. Anders doesn't flinch. Part of me thinks he was amused. The guard's accent is more Russian than they probably wanted. When Blake comes to, he says the tankers are the only leverage they have, and the King won't risk an international incident by firing on them (or firing on B&A, for that matter).
Alexis gave some flippant advice on her podcast and the recipient is suing. Fallon's legal counsel? EVAN. She is blissfully unaware of how Evan's cheese has sild off its cracker, and he's acting like they're old friends. This can't be good. But it might be GREAT.
BTW, C3, Liam and Adam have decided not to tell Fallon what's going in with Blake because...well, bull in china shop, etc.
Sam decided to stow away on Adam and Liam's flight to Moldavia--he's disappointed that the trip isn't a Bachelor Party outing. Instead of tequila shots out of his belly button, Sam realizes he might GET shot in his belly button. Neither Adam no Liam seem to want him along, which....I'd think Liam (at least) would prefer Sam over the man who broke a flower pot over his head. They're relieved when Sam agrees to stay on the plane. He begins partaking of some 'party drugs' he claimed to have picked up for the nonexistent bachelor party.
Fallon wants to settle with the podcast 'victim' but Alexis isn't signing
anything. Alexis says she will convince the woman to drop her suit. Fallon voices her skepticism in her usual ladylike fashion. To say Alexis makes it worse would be an understatement. But F&A notice dirty footprints on the woman's doormat, which seem to run counter to her claim she can't get around due to the broken leg/boot thingy. They get the woman to admit it was a frivolous lawsuit. Fallon tells Evan the lawsuit is over; he then angrily calls the woman to tell her she screwed up the plan, that he wanted to "be Fallon's hero". I guess I know where those hairs he took are going to end up.
In short order, we see 'the cavalry' (Adam and Liam) tossed into the cell with Blake and Anders, so there goes Plan A. Anders asks about their Plan B (since you know, you don't call a plan, "Plan A" unless you have a Plan B). They mention Sam on the plane, leading Anders to rebrand it as "Plan Z." Sam's about 3/4 wasted on the plane, waiting for the guys to come back. He hallucinates Danny Trejo, who casually waves around his machete and tells Sam he needs to "man up". He grabs the blueprints and heads out, "Danny" following all the way, allowing us splendid shots of Sam's @ss as he crawls through air-conditioning ducts (in a medieval palace?) wearing what appears to be leather pants.
Back home, C3 calls her priest/lover to tell him about the kidnapping, and how it's all her fault for sleeping with him. Um, yeah...okay.
In a scuffle, Anders casually smacks the back of the lead guard's head and the guy goes down like a sack of potatoes. Then Sam manages to drop in via an overhead air duct to save the day. Danny Trejo then disappears from Sam's view, seemingly impressed. Everyone gets up into the air duct to make their escape except Adam (I guess no one was left to boost him) but he escapes in time for them to board the plane and take off for Atlanta. Blake seems relieved--to have his tankers, which makes Adam upset since they all went to such great lengths to save him from possibly being murdered over that oil.
Turns out the "talk show offer" for Dominique was a shell game set up by Culhane, and when all is said and done, there is no talk show and no reality show, either. I'm only guessing, but I assume Dom gave up rights to the reality show footage in exchange for the non-existent talk show? Who cares--Michael gets to wipe the smirk off her face quite well.
Liam tells Sam he should be very proud of himself for what he did, and Sam quietly agrees that he might be useful after all.
Reunited with Blake, C3 announces she needs to go away to have some time alone. She doesn't confess the affair, though.
Reunited with Kirby, Adam announces he is done with trying to win Blake's love, since it's obvious Blake only loves his money and power.
Reunited with Liam, Fallon finally hears that her fiancé, brother, and bestie saved Blake from a Moldavian dungeon. Yeah, really.
Next week: Sam wakes up on the floor of a trashed hotel room to see an albino python slithering by. Yep, it's got to be Fallon's Bachelorette Party!
I wonder if this keeps them up late at night like it does me (in different ways).
