Pas De Deux

Die Familienfehde auf Falcon Crest spitzt sich weiter zu. Nachdem Richard das Geheimnis um seine Mutter gelüftet hat, sind Angela und Jacqueline erbitterte Feindinnen. Angela will sich rächen, weil Jacqueline ein Verhältnis mit ihrem Ex-Mann Douglas hatte. Sie beauftragt ihren Anwalt Philip Erikson, Jacquelines Vergangenheit zu durchleuchten. Lance kann beweisen, dass Joseph nicht sein Sohn ist. Er hofft, dass Angela in seine Scheidung von Melissa einwilligt.

Angela's Founders' Day Party is in disarray following Richard's announcement that Jacqueline is his mother. When Chase confronts Richard on the veranda, Richard reasons he did not promise to keep Jacqueline's secret, only Chase's. When Angie turns on Jacqueline, Chase suggests taking her home. After Richard calls his mother an adulteress, Chase strikes his half-brother, and subsequently Chase and Maggie whisk Jacqueline away. The next morning, Chase regrets hitting Richard, while Jacqueline believes that the events of the previous night are in the past. She also understands Richard's bitterness, although Chase may never trust Richard again. At Falcon Crest, Melissa overhears Lance making plans to meet Lori. Melissa's attorneys are still evaluating all offers. Nick and Sheila, in their bedroom, share a moment as they dress.
