Six months have passed but the Carringtons still cannot avoid turmoil. Liam fails to meet the deadline on his new book so he checks into La Mirage where he gains film noir nightmares but no new pages. Culhane and Nina resume their adversarial relationship at "The Biggest Payday" premiere until Dominique pushes them to realize they are in love. Jeff hacks into PPA's mainframe to force Blake to sell back ColbyCo assets (which Cristal and Amanda then arrange without Blake's approval). Adam's need to provide for Stacey warps him into risking her pregnancy so Fallon will help reinstate him as hospital Chief of Staff. Professor Kingston suddenly dies leaving behind a brilliant, unpublished manuscript that Liam considers claiming as his own work.
