God of the Grape

Auf Falcon Crest treffen Charleys Bruder und dessen Frau ein. Sie verhehlen nicht, dass sie nun die Herren auf Falcon Crest sind und die Geschicke des Weinguts in ihre Hände genommen haben. Auch Emma wird klar, dass sie keine Rechte mehr hat: Sie flieht zu ihrer Mutter.

Charley hires his brother Ian and his young, child-like wife, Sidney, to help run the winery. Since the new arrivals put Charley at odds with Lance, the two fight. After Lance soundly beats Charley, Charley immediately fires him. After rescuing his sons, Richard learns that they liked Lauren and returns them to Lauren's care, despite the fact that she is Sharpe's sister. After Pilar and Lance confront Emma about Charley, he throws a bacchanal party, which is crashed by bikers. Ned Vogel, who has taped evidence of Pilar securing his distribution contract through sexual favors, blackmails her. At Angela's bedside, Emma thinks she hears her comatose mother command her to get rid of Charley, but Emma isn't sure whether or not she imagined it.
