More details about CW's Dynasty upcoming episode
The synopsis for episode 20 of Dynasty's fifth season, titled First Kidnapping Now Theft, reads:
As Blake (Grant Show) institutes damage control to help Adam (Sam Underwood), Cristal offers advice which falls flat. Sam (Rafael de la Fuente) finds out about an unexpected presence at La Mirage and he and Culhane (Robert C. Riley) enlist Liam (Adam Huber) to help with the situation.
Meanwhile, Alexis (Elaine Hendrix) wants to bond with her daughters, so she goes to extreme measures to win over Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) and Amanda (Eliza Bennett). Lastly, Kirby (Maddison Brown) implements a new life policy and Jeff (Sam Adegoke) is not pleased with the results.
First Kidnapping Now Theft, written by Chris Erric Maddox and directed by Pat Santana, follows Blake and Amanda as they try to help their children. While Blake may try to pull some strings to help his son Adam, Alexis will use this time to reconnect with her daughters Fallon and Amanda.
The other characters are also riled up by new changes in their lives. It remains to be seen if the steps taken so far will help the series redeem itself.
A recap of episode 19 of season 5
The biggest reveal of Dynasty's current season came in episode 19, when Alexis decided to give up on her son Adam (played by Sam Underwood) and his substance abuse and turned him over to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
Alexis has tolerated and defended Adam's actions, even when she should not have. She had hidden her son's sins from the world, and having him arrested could have brought him one step closer to salvation.
Fallon and Mandy Von Dunkel's Cold War continues, as Fallon outwits her by organising an impromptu auction for the Heroic Hooves foundation. In another scene from the episode, Liam dug his own grave by submitting Kingston's book as his own.
Some of the aforementioned developments are certain to keep viewers on their heels as series comes to an epic end.
