Fallon remembers who killed Roger Grimes.

[@jamessedgwick2809]

OMG! I remember the night that this originally aired. My jaw dropped with that reveal. What a fantastic way to end that story line!

[@wiibaron]

What an original and spooky way to bring this storyline to a conclusion.

[@jamessedgwick2809]

I agree.

[@NoliMeTangere1163]

No, its literally exactly like Hitchcock's Marni.

[@dominickdirienzo8266]

At least they revealed Roger Grimes’ killer before the Dynasty ended.

[@maineindividual5202]

Emma idolized JOan Collins off screen. Probably why thier mother/daughter scenes works so well

[@user-uo9ck9pj9n]

this is such a dramatic scene integrating past and present scenes interwinding together with the music perfectly

[@LeighMet]

No body would fall the way roger fell even if they fell backwards.

[@dannycarrington1601]

Depending on how someone is standing, and how their weight is distributed, the force of a gunshot can cause the body to spin.

[@mikemercado5223]

This was one of Emma's best scenes...I liked both Fallons but it is hard to replace the original

[@stevebbuk]

She did at last start to act, the storyline a mix of Joan Crawford's Mildred Pierce and Agatha Christie's Sleeping Murder.

[@yassinebenmiled5134]

Season 9 was the best after the first 4 seasons. Even the musical score was better

[@ClarenceFisher]

So...THAT explains Fallon's behavior all these years, eh? Good stuff

[@Magdalenkaization]

Not "years" It started when she saw his body for the first time! Great flashback!

[@ClarenceFisher]

I meant her Alexis-hating bitchy nymphomania in the first two seasons, before she turned nice businesswoman. Killing the man who was hurting "mummy" was in her subconscious and it affected her.

[@winogirlll]

Good point Clarence!

[@creativewriter3887]

@@ClarenceFisher Which would explain why Blake exiled Alexis. He didn't do it so much to get rid of Alexis but to protect Fallon. Fallon probably wrestled with this until she was sent off to school abroad and as she said from the first episode, trying to forget her mother and this murder for 16 years. Then to add insult to injury Blake goes and marries his secretary, Krystal--something that Fallon didn't accept for several years. Layer upon layer upon layer of anger and resentment. No wonder she went bonkers before resurfacing.

[@patricknaughton2422]

This was a great scene. Fallon remembering finally that she killed Roger Grimes, saving her mother Alexis's life

[@Youngstown529]

That was so darn crazy. Who would have thought that Alexis looked so old 30 years ago!

[@Inyourlap]

I can imagine the discussions with the producers “Who could we use to play the younger version of Alexis?” Joan Collins: “NOBODY CAN!!!! I’ll play her, I haven’t changed much, just give me a wig - I mean, another wig - and a pair or jeans... and voilà!!” Emma Samms: “Can I also play the younger version of myself? I haven’t changed much either!” .......

[@jabjab4434]

@@Inyourlap Such a Joan Crawford feel to it :)

[@tipsy9947]

This is the same plot twist as Hitchcock's "Marnie." Except Tippi Hedren did not wear an enormous doily when she remembered it.

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

That explains why everyone covered it up

[@ziggy12657]

Roger Grimes would’ve killed Alexis if Fallon hadn’t pulled the trigger. Self-defense.

[@davidfischer6923]

Oh My Gosh Thanks for uploading these

[@littlericky46]

Lifted straight from Hitchcock's "Marnie" climatic scene. Funny how both Fallon AND Alexis had suppressed memories regarding Roger Grimes' death!

[@parkhurst5739]

I always thought it would've been better if they would use Alexis' atelier from Season 2 for this.

[@ClarenceFisher]

Yes, too bad they didn't still have it. I was wondering what sort of cottage they were in.

[@dannycarrington1601]

Production moved from one studio to another between seasons two and three. The mansion set was moved but reconfigured (most notably the staircase) but the studio set was never seen again.

[@orion8835]

And FINALLY the R.Grimes business is put to rest. What an exaggerated dragged out arc. This scene is so confusing as that man’s name had been going on for seasons. Poor Fallon no wonda she was such a weirdo over all the seasons and had a bon voyage to the ALIENS…. Mommy! MOMMY!!

[@mpacheco0595]

I was so confused on this whole storyline. Fallon having dreams of Roger in a steamy way, Roger breaking up with Alexis lol make it make sense😂

[@stripeycat1970]

Look at her. She's all upset.

[@Onry1]

How could I have forgotten that? it was in the script...

[@emerybayblues]

Alexis conveniently had surpassed memory.

[@shannonstewart4792]

The proper English and over acting was so dope back then lol. I don't think they could pull this off today since people today are so simply minded and have a limited vocabulary. People today just happy with reality television.

A perfect casting in the role of Roger Grimes. J Eddie Peck was also great as Tommy McKay in Dallas

[@omguy]

That dress on Fallon is totally wrong. PSM Fallon would never have worn it.

[@DegrassiInstantStar]

It's what happens when a show's budget is gone, and they can no longer wear luxury clothing.

[@benjaminsambul7104]

The dress and hairstyle (a ponytail) were meant to simulate how a little girl would dress up, in order to go hand-in-hand with the flashbacks.

[@skaterboy-cz9wj]

@Dusk Hollow True. but so incongruent with the red leather number she wears on one episode seducing Jeff. Maybe it was found in the Little House on the Prairie leftovers?

This would've been circa 1960 or so. No men looked like Roger (long hair, for starters) at that point.

You’re joking aren’t you? The 60’s were full of hippies

@@Christian_Ada1 Charlize Theron's mother shot her father in self defense after he tried killing her and Charlize.

[@mrmagassi]

So before Roger Grimes, Alexis had an affair with Cecil (which is why Fallon's paternity was in question in Season 2)... no wonder Blake paid her to go away and stay away lol

[@maestroclassico5801]

The one time Emma's acting matched Pamela Sue's..... honestly though this is still a bit plotholey. Blake still threw Alexis out...and no one realized what Fallon had done? Could this help explain....her other issues over 25 years? Amnesia TWICE? PTSD? But this whole plotline has plotholes. Remember Roger's Dad kidnapped Little Blake in Season 2....they MENTIONED Roger had gotten paid off (after Blake beat his ass) but then that he DIED....as in YEARS LATER...like around 1980.

@@Sunshine-zm1fx Who's not? Are you referring to me?

[@Sunshine-zm1fx]

@@maestroclassico5801 Yes. Soap opera writers famously write bad plots and then just let them disappear into the ether. They just hit the viewer with drama after drama after drama. Many plotlines are never completed on soap operas. That's just how soaps are.

@@Sunshine-zm1fx Yeah thank You I'm quite familiar. Watched Dynasty and Dallas when they were first on.

[@mpacheco0595]

Does anyone know why Fallon was dreaming of Roger in a intimate way at first, but then eventually they become actual nightmares? Also the entire series basically focuses on the whole Roger Grimes affair that Alexis had, and why she was 'banished'. So why did Roger end up telling Alexis she meant nothing, when we were led to believe that it was an actual love affair? That really threw me off lol
