Warning: Unmarked Spoilers Ahead!!!

General

  • Amongst their various dysfunctions, Snark is apparently genetic with some of the best lines coming from Fallon especially where her father and step-mother are concerned.
    • Fans of Victorious and especially Elizabeth Gillies can't help but point out that between her daddy-issues, her one-liners, and general attitude, Fallon comes off as an adult business-woman version of Jade.
  • Running Gags:
    • Whenever someone asks a question that lampshades Fallon's It's All About Me personality, her response isn't to apologize but simply to tell the person not to take it personally.
    • YMMV But the occasional incest joke that's made, usually at Fallon's expense. Such as it being brought up how she slept with Jeff Colby who is revealed late in season 1 to be her and Steven's cousin.
    • Following the death of Cristal Flores at the end of season 1, Cristal Jennings, the woman who gave her the fake identity, joins the cast and quickly becomes Blake's new Love Interest. She receives numerous labels, mainly from Fallon and Alexis, that lampshades this such as Cristal 2.0, Second Cristal, New Cristal, etc.
  • After being a Manipulative Bitch for her entire appearance in Season 1, it is cathartic to watch as Alexis Carrington suffers as the Butt-Monkey in Season 2.

Season 1

     Episode 1: I Hardly Recognized You 
  • Fallon is in the back of her car complaining abut the lack of respect her father gives her despite her talents in business and all she's done for the company. Cue her driver, Culhane, rises up from between her legs (as he was giving her oral sex) and complains that her ranting about her father's making it hard to concentrate.
  • How do Fallon and Steven meet their future stepmother? They walk in on their father and Cristal as they're about to have sex on his desk.
    Blake: What are you doing here?
    Steven: Who are you doing here?
    ======
    Steven: And you are?
    Fallon: Looking for a promotion.
     Episode 2: Spit it Out 
  • Despite the tension of being accused of murder on Blake's wedding day, the Carringtons are rather blasé about the whole thing. Sammy Jo lampshades this and wonders to Steven that either he doesn't believe his father's guilty or his aunt (Cristol) just married into a whole family of psychopaths.
  • Like last episode Fallon and Culhane are having oral sex in the back of her car though the postions are reversed this time with Fallon pleasuring Culhane. After finishing they talk for a few minutes before Culhane asks if Fallon should get going: cue showing they're literally about a hundred yards from the funeral service being held for Matthew Blaisdel.
    • Fallon repeatedly throwing the fact Cristal was having an affair with a man whose wife had a brain injury at said man's funeral is rather mean-spirited. Which makes it all the more hilarious when Cristal has enough and walks away...while pushing Fallon into an empty, open grave they were standing next to. Especially the little "ooph" Fallon makes as she falls in:
    Fallon: You bitch! You are going to wish you had buried me!
    • Later at the wake being held afterwards, Fallon shows up in a stunning red dress which people can't help pointing out that may not be appropriate. Fallon bluntly states its not as if she knew the deceased personally... Plus she had to change clothes after Cristal knocked her into the grave.
     Episode 3: Guilt is for Insecure People 
  • Anders makes a snide remark to Cristal about her real name which she tells him again that she changed her name simply to get away from her less desirable family members. Sammy Jo, in just a bathrobe, comes strolling in and greets her in Spanish.
    Anders: Seems you're unsuccessful.
    • He also feels to point out that the bathrobe the young man is currently wearing is meant for female guests in tone that he is just done with them both. Then he snarks that perhaps Sammy Jo can wear it to the charity gala the Carrington is hosting that night.
  • Fallon is rocked when for once she meets a man who's more interested in her business savvy and brains then hooking up with her, with Colby telling her that he doesn't want to complicate anything business-wise because she "couldn't keep it in her pants".
  • Fallon receives a cease-and-desist order from her father stating she can't use the family name Carrington because its trademarked. Apparently the first Mrs. Carrington (Steven and Fallon's mother) tried to use it for marketing a line of lip-pumping kits she was trying to start up.
    • When Steven reveals that Blake had Matthew's phone taken out of evidence through his connections, Fallon becomes excited as the phone might have something incriminating that she can use as leverage against their father to "get back her name"
    Steven: And clear mine?
    Fallon: Of course. I would never let you go to jail. You look tragic in orange.
  • At the 80s themed charity gala, Fallon gets pissed when Cristal steals her usual spot of wearing the high-price necklace that will be auctioned off that night. She grabs a flute of champagne from a passing server which knocks over over the trey and the other glasses on it, telling the poor woman she's fired.
     Episode 4: Private as a Circus 
  • Colby incredibility to learn that Fallon's first plan of attack for their new venture is to poach from her family's company the city of Atlanta, a contract worth a billion dollars. When he questions if she really can get the city council member to cross Blake Carrington, Fallon has this as a response:
    Fallon: He'd leave his wife for me. And his sidepiece.
    • Her plan immediately hits a snag when she learns that the council member is being replaced by a woman her age...and was in the same class as her in high-school. The way she asks if Kori (the woman) changed her hair makes it clear she may or may not know who this person is.
    • Monica is revealed to still be friends with Kori and had gone to MJQ just last week. And Fallon was invited which she clearly does not remember.
      Monica: Do you listen to anything I say?
      Fallon: I wouldn't take it personally.
  • Cristal decides on a impromptu honeymoon for her and Blake, taking him up to the family's hunting cabin out in the woods. Being the Control Freak workaholic he is, Blake can't help but snark about there being no cell service. Cristal offers to let him use the Wi-Fi if he behaves only for Blake to reveal that he grandfather built the place to get away from modern civilization. So there isn't any Wi-Fi.
    Cristal: [excited] Even better!
    [Hugs Blake who returns it...then reaises his cell phone in one hand hoping to get a signal]
  • With Blake out of town, Culhane is enjoying his time off playing basketball when Anders shows up to which the driver invites him to play a couple rounds.
    Anders: [distastefully] That would require sweat.
    • When Culhane tries to get him to lighten up and relax, he tries to pass the ball to Anders who neither attempts to catch it nor flinches as the ball flies right past him.
    • Despite the tension of Anders revealing to know about him and Fallon, Anders can't help but phrase it that Culhane had his head in other matters..."like Miss Carrington".
     Episode 5: Company Slut 
  • The opening scene has Cristal going through a montage as she prepares for her first day as COO of Carrington Atlantic all to "Everybody Wants To Rule The World". By the end, her and Blake's bed is covered in a massive pile of clothes she gone through trying to find the perfect outfit to Anders' exasperation.
  • Both Fallon and Cristal on their way to work take some time to snipe at each other. Fallon asks Cristal if she's on her way to church since "Lord knows you love to get down on your knees." Cristal meanwhile throws it in her step-daughter's face that she's on her way for her first day as a high powered executive while Fallon doesn't even have a proper office or any clients for that matter.
  • Because of their falling out, Culhane is driving Cristal for the day leaving Fallon to drive herself. Colby's comment about being glad he wasn't on the road when he hears this might give you an idea of what Fallon is like behind the wheel...
  • How did the straight-laced, no-nonsense, Servile Snarker Anders meet and become employed by the Carringtons? As a young man, he tried to pickpocketed the wallet of Blake's father Thomas, who in a moment of guile or charity gave Anders the money and offered him a job.
  • Cristal, preparing for an interview for a possible award for highly-successful women, asks an employee named Kylie who present at the board meeting what she really thinks. So she, Kylie, does including how her success actually sets women back since she became COO a week after marrying the CEO. Cristal promotes her at the end of the episode to her old position of Head of PR for her honesty.
     Episode 6: I Exist Only For Me 
  • A small moment but Fallon is complaining about being forced to live at The Ritz after being kicked out for leaking the sex tape of Cristal and Matthew. Steven snarks about how she should consider how she hurt her family with her actions before lamenting her unfortunate circumstances.. Then after he leaves, Fallon asks if someone can help with her (two) bags...
  • Fallon decides to throw a launch party for her and Colby's energy company. The launch party she literally came up on the spot because he was having doubts about going into business together. He agrees to give her one last chance and she thanks him...oh and the party has to be at his [Colby's] house since she was kicked out of hers.
  • Blake really shows where Fallon got her It's All About Me attitude in regards to Claudia. Whom he hit. With his car at the end of the last episode (it was an accident really). He tries to justify they already did enough by paying for her medical care with Cristal actually moving the woman into their house to care for her.
     Episode 7: A Taste Of Your Own Medicine 
  • Trapped in the wine cellar and the gunroom respectfully by Claudia, Anders and Sammy Jo are forced to work together to get out.
    • When Anders tells Jo to use a gun to shoot the handle off, the younger man tells him not to stereotype and that he's "not some gangster." Thus he doesn't know how to use a gun... He does know how to pick locks though.
    • Anders slides his driver's license under the door to Sammy Jo, who, after one look at the photo, razzes the absolute crap out of him.
      Sammy Jo: You had hair. You had all the hair!
      Anders: Just get on with it!
    • When Anders urges him to hurry up, Sammy Jo threatens him to stay quiet or he'll tell everyone his middle name is Winifred.
      Sammy Jo: Now pipe down, Winnie!
  • Fallon, after previously thrown out earlier that day, arrives at dinner and insists on joining them. Completely oblivious that Claudia, whose been faking her mental problems, has them all hostage until she literally has the gun pointed at her. Even better how everyone is yelling her not to come in and she thinks its because they don't want her there for dinner:
    Fallon:Screw you. I'm not going anywhere. I need to talk to you about the C-R-A-Z- [Sees Claudia pointing the gun at her.] Why does the crazy lady have a gun?
    • Fallon being completely blasé and not showing an ounce of fear despite the gun to everyone's dismay. Then, once they get Claudia to confess to killing her husband she reveals that particular gun is hers and it hasn't worked in years.
    [Claudia shoots the turkey showing it does, indeed, work]
    Fallon: I guess it does work
    Blake: Anders had it fixed.
    • Also, that gun in question? It was gift from Fallon's mother. For her 16th birthday.

Cristal tries to comfort him while Anders is...less then helpful:
    Anders: Well you do come with a 747 worth of baggage.
    Cristal: Anders!
    Anders: What? He asked.
  • On to Jeff Colby's plan to marry her as part of a larger scheme, Fallon realizes that he planted spyware on the house's main computer server helping her from earlier in the season. Since he was the only tech genius she knew, Culhane gets help from his 17 year-old sister which Fallon can't help snark about wether she's up to the task.
    Evie Culhane: I'm a senior at Emory. My thesis project is software development for advance robotics.
    Culhane: [A little smug] What were you doing at that age?
    Fallon: Robbie Reid
    • Then when she gets the information and Culhane tells her he owes her one, she replies that he owes her money and that "his girl" (Fallon) can afford it...or she can just tell their parents how he's a driver for the Carringtons and not an executive like he claims. Fallon is impressed and tells Evie she should send her a resume to which Culhane's sister replies that one day Fallon will be workin for her.
    • For the briefest of moments, Fallon looks suitably impressed by this while Culhane has the best Oh, Crap! look at realizing his sister and ex-girlfriend are getting along.
     Episode 15: Our Turn Now 
  • The episode opens with Fallon putting together a rehearsal dinner for her and Jeff's wedding which is really a cover so Blake's team can enter the Colby's house and erase his servers and any material he has on them. Despite it being to get them out of the house, Fallon goes full bridezilla as she puts together the ceremony and justifies that it would be out of character if she didn't. Though its also just as likely she just using it as an excuse to get back at her father by spending a god-awful amount of money on a fake wedding.
  • Sammy Jo has to move out of his and Steven's apartment due to the events of last episode involving Ted and he's none too ahppy about it. Steven doesn't take it seriously and asks if he's seriously not excited to be moving back to the Carrington estate.
    Sammy Jo: [A little annoyed] A little.
    • Fallon arranges for Sammy Jo to have a date for the wedding, primarily to make Steven jealous, and after a whole episode of flirting with him, his date Liam reveals that he's not even gay. In fact, he's Fallon's new husband.
      Sammy Jo: I'm sorry what?
  • One that's as black as an inkwell in a coal mine, Due to Cecil being stubborn about and not coming to the rehearsal dinner, the Carringtons have to proceed with the wedding. Fallon, the bride, complains and noted she wished they had a different ceremony like a funeral but that requires a body. Flash forward to Thomas Carrington, Blake's father and her grandfather, dropping dead of a heart attack at the end of the episode...
     Episode 16: Poor Little Rich Girl 
     Episode 17: Enter Alexis 
  • Alexis is shown melodramatically crying over Thomas's casket. Despite being the only in the whole church after everyone has left when the service ended.
    Fallon: She's still up there.
    Blake: [Incredulous] Doing what?!
    Fallon: Shedding more tears than the crocodile killed to make her bag.
  • Blake gets asked by both Fallon and Steven if he invited Alexis. Especially since when Blake found the tape where his father Thomas said he loves his son, he told Anders that he wished Alexis was there with them. Be Careful What You Wish For.
    Blake: Why does everyone keep asking me that? I divorced her!
  • During the confrontation between Fallon and Alexis, the entire Carrington family is up on the balcony watching the whole thing play out. At one point, Cristal and Sammy Jo give each other an amused smirk as they take a sip of champagne.
    • When first arriving, Fallon had just learned that Steven has been in contact with their mother for some time; so she doesn't even break her stride as Fallon bitch slaps him on the way to confront Alexis.
      • When Fallon reveals this fact, everyone looks at him and Steven looks ready to bolt but doesn't realizing he wouldn't get far.
    • When the argument turns into a full-on fight in the pool, Blake decides to finally intervene:

    • After the fight between her and Fallon, Alexis claims that her daughter is out of control while Sammy notes it was rather tame compared to her usual reaction. Cue Fallon storming with a handgun and firing off a shot scaring the shit out of everyone:
      Sammy Jo: That's more typical.
    • The gun is also the one that Claudia used to take the family hostage, which again is mentioned to have been Alexis' gift to her daughter for her 16th birthday. Fallon's tone about how it was meant to show how her mother cared clearly lampshades the absurdity of giving a gun to a teenager. Keep in mind that Alexis was jsut claiming that she always thought Fallon need to see a specialist.
     Episode 18: Don't Con A Con Artist 
  • After Alexis commandeers the kitchen staff to make breakfast for herself, Steven, and Sammy Jo, the remaining Carringtons are left sitting around the dinning room table waiting for their meal as aparently they're incapable of cooking for themselves.
    • Later Liam is eating an apple and Fallon, whose starving, asks where he got it her husband points to a bowl of "decorative fruit". The Carringtons are rich enough that they can afford to have real fruit just sitting around the house for decoration as opposed to the fake wax kind everyone else uses.
  • While snooping around the loft for dirt on Alexis, its revealed that while Liam did his due diligence on Fallon thanks to Sam, she still doesn't know anything about her (temporary, fake) husband which he lampshades.
    Fallon: Don't take it personally.
    • When suggests locations one can hide, she asks if he's secretly a criminal saying it would be par for the course in her family. He actually built houses getting his start volunteering in Japan after the tsunami; Fallon's opinion is that her father Blake would find that to be worse because it made him not only a Democrat but a socialist to boot.
     Episode 19: Use or Be Used 
  • Sad as it is, its cathartic to see that Jeff had a Villainous Breakdown after his father and sister turned cut ties when they failed to dissuade him from seeking revenge on the Carringtons. He cancels a board meeting between him and Fallon and forgets to call, being found drunk and disheveled by Sam (acting as her proxy) and her lawyers in his office.
  • As the contract for their fake marriage nears its expiration, Liam asks Fallon out to dinner after their kiss last episode to which she agrees. She recruits Sam to decide on an outfit which leads him to tease her about having first date jitters.
    • Though its a sad and pensive scene, the reveal that the seven-figure manuscript that Liam, really a journalist named Jack Lowden, had sold was about his own dysfunctional family and not the Carringtons as Alexis and Fallon believed. He decides to pull the book and return home after several weeks with their family, coming to the conclusion that his was tame in comparison.
     Episode 20: A Line from The Past 
  • When news breaks about Carrington Atlantic's role in contaminating ground water in Clarke County, Aleixs finds Blake in his office and asks if Bo, the family dog, is there to protect him from "angry villagers".
    Blake: We got Bo for the kids after you left as a replacement. Except, unlike you, he's loyal and doesn't shed as much.
  • In a moment of Heartwarming, Anders reveals to Sam, whose freaking out about learning that Steven isn't in D.C. like he claimed, that he was once married himself and even has a daughter he hasn't spoken to in years. Sam encourages him to reach out as he's proven a great parent to Blake and Steven and more of a father to Sam than his own "murdery, dead-again dad."
    Anders: Thanks. I think.
    • Sam's repeated Flat "What" to learning that Anders was married and even has a daughter since he never mentioned them til now.
     Episode 21: Trashy Little Tramp 
  • While Jeff and Monica discus the revelation that their mother, and them by extension, was a Carrington the latter points out that makes Fallon, whom the former almost married, is their cousin.
    Jeff: half-cousin.
    Monica: hope it was the right half.
    • The incest jokes keep coming when its revealed that the "Adam Carrington" Steven found is a con-man who is working, and sleeping, with Alexis. This revealed after he kisses her and she says that roleplaying as his mother is hardly an aphrodisiac.
    • The Colby's are left dumbfounded to learn that as Thomas Carrington's grandchild they're entitled to equal shares of Carrington Atlantic due to the vague wording of the will.
      Jeff: After everything [Thomas] did to cut us out of their life, he forgot to Read the Fine Print?
  • To find some dirt on her father, Fallon goes to the one living person who for sure knows at least of his secrets, Matthew's wife Claudia.
    Fallon: [About being put in a mental hospital by thew Carringtons] Could've ended up in worse places. You know like actual prison after you tired to kill us all on Thanksgiving.
    Claudia: Next time I'll be sure to pull the trigger before dinner next year.
    Fallon: Sounds to me like you're making great strides in therapy.
     Episode 22: Dead Scratch 
  • The show opens to show while Steven and Sam are putting together the final touches on their wedding, Cristal is proceeding to trash the house to spite Blake all to Whip It by Devo. This includes cutting up his suits, smashing wine bottles, and taking a golf club to his car all while wearing green coveralls and a beret.
    Blake: Whoa, what are you doing?!
    Cristal: I think I'm finally getting into golf.
    • After some snarking back and forth including noting Cristal shredded all but one of his suits, Blake walks away unaware that "Douche" has been bedazzled on the back of his jacket.
    • Later, she holds a press conference announcing his leaving Carrington Atlantic is his wedding present to Steven and will be taking over his disaster relief charities.

  • After learning about his family, Sam learns from Steven a key piece of info that Anders apparently left out. Namely that his daughter Kirby was apparently batshit crazy: she cut off the heads of all of Fallon's Barbies and threw them in the fireplace, stole money from Blake, and terrorized Alexis.
    Steven: Anders didn't mention any of this?
    Sam: If he had, I probably wouldn't have invited her to the wedding!
  • Culhane arrives with present for Fallon to commemorate her becoming CEO after ousting Blake, revealing it to be his father's ashes (who died of cancer caused by Carrington Atlantic's negligence) to keep as her desk to remind her of why she did it.
    Culhane: [Beat] I'm just messing with you. It's a candle.
    Fallon: [Smiles] Thank you
  • After the Colbys announce that they are Carringtons by blood and entitled to equal shares via Thomas' will, Fallon is not happy that her father knew and thus was aware she was (unknowingly) sleeping with her cousin.
    Blake: I didn't even know you two were together until after the engagement and by then it was a little too late to say anything. At least you're not pregnant. Beat You're not pregnant are you?
    Fallon: Really winning Father of the Year right now.
    • Fallon, drink in hand, sums up for Steven and Sam the latest "horror movie" of how the she learned she banged their cousin (Jeff), got Blake fired right before the Colbys' announcement to take their inheritance, and became the new CEO all in one day.

  • Fallon's small Oh, Crap! after waking from her dream where she starts to have a threesome between herself, Culhane (her boyfriend and later fiancee), and Liam (her fake[?] husband). Looks like she suddenly might wish bigamy was legal in Georgia.
  • Alexis is revealed to have been in the hospital for two weeks longer than she needed to be, simply so that she could milk the Carrington tab for all its worth which includes eating caviar in her hospital bed and sending an entire room of flower arrangements. To herself.

    Sam: [Rolling his eyes] Can't imagine why.
    • As part of their investigation, Sam and Alexis break into Melissa's house while she out, though Alexis claims that its not breaking-and-entering if you have key.

     Episode 25: The Butler Did It 
     Episode 26: Snowflakes In Hell
