It is brother vs brother as the bench trial for the Carrington dynasty gets underway. Proceedings center around an alleged note Ben left for Blake on the night of their mother's drowning. Witnesses include Heather (Fallon and Steven's nanny and Blake's ex-mistress), Alexis, Fallon, and Kirby (verifying the note was hidden in Anders's files). The judge rules in favor of Blake, but Ben is absolved of deliberate negligence. Liam ghost-writes a submission essay for Professor Kingston's nephew. Jeff and Culhane aid Kirby in retrieving her stolen diary, which she then burns. Adam and Stacey find mutual attraction. Dominique wins an impressive contract to design an airline's crew uniforms. Guilt over Leo Abbott's demise causes Culhane to break up with Geneva. Ben rejects Blake's amends, and vows to make future conflicts.
