Handler's gun only barely pierced Blake's flesh because he had Krystle's diary in his coat pocket recently given to him by Sammy Jo. The diary is stolen at the hospital and its contents wind up in the tabloids.Blake goes in and out of jail throughout the season, facing charges over the dead Handler, and scandal over Krystle's diary and, most importantly, revelations that his empire was funded in part by nazi treasure -- treasure Blake and the family begin trying to return to its original owners or their heirs.Blake is also in and out of civil court facing a barrage of lawsuits, and his own attempt to maintain his estate.By the latter part of the season, the mansion is essentially gutted as Sable and Caress plan an oversee an auction of the remaining Carrington belongings.Mid-season, some local and non-local reporters get together to do an exposé on 'Citizen Carrington', and an entire episode of the show could be devoted to that documentary. It's pretty compromising, to say the least, and hurts Blake's legal issues. Lots of old photos would be used.Blake and Alexis are approached together by a shadowy intelligence guy to question and inform them that their agency is aware of a cabal of international interests who seem to be monitoring the Carringtons and have been for some time. This results in Alexis using that mysterious safe room behind her desk at ColbyCo and its communications equipment.*Dex -- His legs broken and with a spinal injury, Dex (although I always prefer to think Alexis' hunky beachboy from her Acapulco days showed up in Denver after the gubernatorial assassination attempt) is moved into the mansion to convalesce, Alexis frankly less interested in him because he can't serve her in his current condition, but maintains frequent contact because he has an estate of his own she's interested in.*Alexis -- she's in a hospital bed in the first episode (perhaps unseen), a wheelchair in the second episode, crutches the third, a cane the fourth and fifth. And then she's fine.She obtains a crystal skull from Adam after he shoves it into a duffle while the family is consolidating the Collection under the property; at night in her suite, Alexis accidentally drops the artifact which causes it to take on a vague, green glow which comes and goes. At one point, Alexis and Adam invite Jeff to dinner with the intention of picking his part-time archeological brain about what he knows about the history and mythology of such skulls, never telling Jeff about what they have.Alexis learns that her mother, Minx, may have had an affair with Hitler and she and Caress may be the offspring of the most evil man who ever lived, leaving Alexis to run around all season trying to obscure this possible fact, and learn more about it.Concerned that she is being stalked by Roger Grimes' son, Dennis, she moves into the mansion near the end of the season (with Blake's jailhouse permission) allowing her to co-habitate for a time with Sable and Caress -- the 'Three Bitches of MacScottishPlay' someone like Sammy Jo can observe. While there, the Alexis and Caress and Sable trio have a late meal where Caress asks her sister for financial aid; Alexis scoffs and, helped by a little wine, reveals that years earlier, it was Caress who told Blake when and where to find Alexis and Roger Grimes in bed. At which point Caress can confess that her rich and married sister, Alexis, had stolen Roger away from her -- even after Caress learned she was carrying Roger's child. The revelation startles Sable for reasons she doesn't confess.Later, that same night perhaps, with Sable out and Caress conveying her intentions to go into town, an increasingly drunk Alexis wanders into the dimly lit ball room looking for another bar, hears the tiny breaking of glass and sees Dennis Grimes coming in through a french door, she fumbles for the derringer Adam gave her earlier for protection, pulls the gun and yells at Dennis to stop, Dennis freezes before reaching for his own weapon, Alexis panics and steps forward and trips over the leg of a ballroom divan, her derringer falls to the floor of the ballroom and discharges hitting Dennis in the head and causing him to fall back as his own gun fires and hits a chandelier hanging from the ceiling causing it to swing... Alexis, completely soused, can't believe what has just happened, and begins desperately trying to wrap Dennis' body up in an oriental rug, when the lights suddenly go on above, the reflection in the french door beside Alexis revealing two feminine legs in high heels across the ball room, and the camera spins around to see Krystle, fresh from the asylum in Switzerland... (either a double in a blonde Krystle pageboy wig shown only in reflection, or Krystle herself if Linda will make a Duffy-esque Irish Spring-style cameoa).(If Linda Evans can be coaxed for the last two or three episodes, then: Krystle being Krystle, she asks what happened and suggests an ambulance, until Alexis says, "He's dead Krystle", so Krystle then suggests calling the police and goes to do so -- startled and in total panic, Alexis rushes after her and begins screaming hysterically by the phone things which sound non-sensical to Krystle (as she's been gone for a year) and then resorts to shrieking that Blake will lose everything and they'll both lose Krystina if Krystle calls the police now. Alexis then tries bribery, which of course doesn't work. But in the mentally or possibly pharmacologically-altered state Krystle is now in, Alexis manages to convince her that disaster awaits she and Blake and the family if the authorities are called... So Krystle and Alexis wind up dragging Dennis Grimes' body into Alexis' Rolls Royce, driving him out to Delta Rho, and dumping his body into that same lake that his father's body floated out of two years earlier... Upon returning to the mansion, an exhausted and muddy Alexis climbs the stairs to find Caress on the landing -- she had never left at all and knows exactly what just happened with Dennis Grimes. Caress then suggests she and Sister Dearest can now renegotiate her request for resources... Otherwise, this could be the scene that opens the 1991 REUNION).*Caress -- She was the woman in the back of the limo at the end of S9 (and had no intention of bringing Blake to his knees, but may have said so to play along with someone else's scheme)... Still weak from that avalanche that never happened at the end of Season 7, Caress asks Blake to drive her out to the Scorpio cemetery on the far side of Scorpio Peak (which Blake obtained some time ago). He helps her into a wheelchair (she's able to walk but her gait is unstable, making she and Alexis and Dex a barely-ambulatory triumvirate at the start of Season 10). Grimes is buried there in a modest plot. Tearful Caress and Blake discuss her relationship with Roger from nearly three decades ago, how Alexis stole him, and how the night we now all know Roger died Caress was waiting in a Las Vegas hotel, wondering where Roger was, as they were supposed to elope, Caress unaware he was still legally married to Emily Grimes. (A poignant lie from Caress?).Near the end of the season, Caress reveals to Blake (perhaps the same night Alexis kills Dennis) that she herself was responsible for encouraging Sable to pursue finding The Collection two years earlier -- that Sable's mother ( [USER=8]@Willie Oleson[/USER] named her "Agatha") shortly before she died had left her niece, Caress, with a packet of data and told her to "use it" if Jason Colby ever divorced her daughter for her other daughter... Caress had no idea the mess it would create, as the mysterious Europeans who have been after The Collection -- even after its public revelation -- are probably connected directly to The Consortium.Even Caress doesn't know they're still after that crystal skull which only Alexis and Adam know anything about.By the end of the season, we can suspect that Roger raped Sable and fathered her twins, Monica and Miles. And the same night Roger was shot by tiny Fallon at the cottage, a bloody and disoriented Roger, a bullet in his brain, wandered into the mansion kitchen at night, corners Caress whom he realizes had alerted Blake six weeks earlier where to find he and Alexis together in bed, and rapes her before she stabs him to death with a butcher knife, the door of the kitchen suddenly illuminated with the silhouette of Blake's father who then takes care of everything.*Fallon -- Zorelli would have confessed mid-season that 13 knife wounds had been found on Roger's body in addition to the bullet in the back of his head, and that the police had chosen not to reveal that detail for a while for investigative purposes. This could anger Fallon, and cause her to further distrust the Italian cop she still likes so much. A distrust that Blake and Jeff naturally encourage.*Sammy Jo -- I want her priest to commit suicide over his religious conflicts, devastating Sammy Jo and seeing her seriously pondering entering a convent. (She won't). Perhaps, in her grief, Sammy Jo's mother Iris appears for two or three episodes, trying to explain why she disappeared for 19 years (to escape Frank Dean) presumed dead; Sammy Jo, of course, is in no mood to forgive.*Sable -- Sable has a one episode visit from her ex-husband, Jason Colby, who graciously offers to take a blood test to verify he is indeed Miles' and Monica's biological father. Sable is delighted to learn that Jason is their daddy after all --- only the viewer has reason to question Jason's suddenly-chivalrous motive for the DNA testing, and the validity of the results.Sable and Caress manage the mansion auction plans for Blake, and travel to Europe together to investigate who is still after The Collection, and if it's connected to The Consortium who are trying to take over Blake's estate, etc... Caress may have been played like a marionette by the Consortium but Alexis assures Blake, rather credibly, that her opportunistic sister is unlikely to be quite so innocent.*Adam --- Blake's oldest son confesses in court in the final episode that he was acting as a corporate mole for two years, and attempted to illegally assist the Consortium in obtaining Denver-Carrington, and this has a major role in Blake being able to piece together his empire. Blake forgives Adam in the end. (This could wait for the 1991 REUNION, if there is one).*Krystle -- she came out of her coma only days after her operation, and no one at the Suisse clinic ever informed The Carringtons. It seems likely that The Consortium was behind it... Was she programmed to pull a gun on Blake? Do we still want to see this?? (The hypno-Krystle would wait for the 1991 REUNION, when Linda is there for sure).*Kirby -- do we want to have Joseph appear in the organ loft in the mansion attic (or just have a letter from Joseph, held in escrow for 7 years after his death) confess to Blake that he fathered Kirby after a drunken night of passion in the art studio with Alexis back in 1961, Alexis disappearing to London for a few months to have the child and then returning with it to the States and presenting the infant to Joseph's institutionalized wife, Alycia, driving the woman into the final throes of madness, then taunting Joseph about the affair once Alexis came back to Denver twenty years later? (That would certainly give Joseph more reason to kill her in that cabin fire). Alexis setting up Joseph's fake suicide (if it was faked, that letter from the grave probably works better), and then threatening and paying Kirby to leave to get her out of her incestuous relationship with her half-brother, Adam, and out of Alexis' hair...?Alexis, of course, denies it all. And the viewer is never sure which story is true. And yet Alexis uses the story to try and dissuade Kirby from marrying Adam. (Probably in the 1991 REUNION).Returning from Europe (probably in the 1991 REUNION) Caress is confronted in the last episode in a darkened mansion bedroom by someone who claims to be Eva Braun, armed and in a wheelchair, angry that she's lost so much to the Morell and the Scott sisters, shooting Caress down like a dog. A silencer is used, followed by Blake and Krystle having their "last dance" in the ballroom downstairs, gently spinning into soap oblivion, unaware of the carnage that just occurred upstairs....But only after Alexis flies back for an extended trip to London, more or less victorious (and receiving a fax from someone in Moldavia with proof that she could not be der Feuhrer's daughter), Fallon and Zorelli (and Adam, being tracked for his testimony in court exposing The Consortium), and the crystal skull in tow.[ATTACH=full]46122[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
