Since Alexis consults witches on a regular basis I'm sure that she's got good credit with this particular witch.

[@Bandido894]

Nearly, but at least payed from her matter and furniture after the fight. :)

[@jamesfox2579]

Hahahahaha 😂😂😂

[@tonybuc67]

They always get payment upfront

[@alexisdiva9]

Maybe behind the scenes Alexis prepaid the psychic. Possibly she consulted her previously and paid promptly so she knew Alexis would be a good credit risk. Even if she didn't consult Adriana previously she undoubtedly knew she was receiving 250K annually from Blake (a tidy amount in 1982) so Alexis would be considered to be a good credit risk.

[@arnoldjacoby5301]

Alexis still has to pay for the session!

What psychics even use crystal balls these days? No one even uses the term "fortune teller" anymore. I find it odd that a woman like Alexis - so atheistic and self-possessed and cynical and nasty - would even visit a psychic. Or then again, all the Karadashians who are modern day Alexis's practice all that occultism so I suppose it's nothing new that narcissists visit these "fortune tellers"

[@AtenRa]

4:00 Alexis’ cards in a nutshell: center - 2 of Cups over 6 of Cups cross: Love over Past Memories. The loving relationship from the past. right - 4 of Cups: Emotional dissatisfaction, joined to the cross by Death. No matter how good the past was, the present isn’t as happy, and someone will EXPIIIIIRE! XD (Death usually means transformation, not literal death, but drama gurrl!) top - King of Swords and Queen of Cups joined by 10 of Swords over the cross: The King will be at odds with the Queen, and this will negatively impact and ruin the relationship. left - King of Swords and 5 of Cups joined by The Lovers. A romantic joining will take place, but there will be a loss. lower right - Queen of Swords probably represents Alexis herself. Strong, determined, ruthless person, sometimes with a sense of justice, but sometimes selfish too. The deck is called the Visconti-Sforza Tarot and is a reproduction of the oldest existing complete Tarot deck from the 1450s Italy. It was a deck of playing cards and was created kind of like a wedding album between the Visconti and Sforza houses since people from them are in the images. Tarot wasn't used for divination until the late 19th c.

[@3swordstarot]

In all my years doing tarot reading even when the death card had turned up and actually indicated a death i have never told someone they will expire.

[@3swordstarot]

@Buffalo 66 No real tarot reader will tell their client that they are going to die because the cards reflect the clients subconscious and conscious mind. The only way the reader would see the client's death is if the client already knew they were going to die through terminal illness (that they were aware of) or if the client was thinking of committing suicide.

Wow!! This was great soap opera camp at its finest. DYNASTY, in the early days, managed to craft their own lane in this over the top, melodramatic style of storytelling. Adriana, the fortune teller could've been a cringy caricature but she definitely was not. This scene was also a wonderful foreshadowing device telegraphing to audiences the writers future plans for Alexis. Joan Collins, pure 80's diva.

[@thelessimportantajmichel287]

I see no leave-in conditioner in the fortune teller’s future

[@alexisdiva9]

True but I thought it more looked like she just rolled out of bed, liking the Medusa effect.

[@joelsmith6641]

Basically from what I got from this is, if Alexis were to marry Blake again, he would die. I'm surprised the fortune teller didn't tell Alexis she was a black widow, any man she marries will die. I think Dex was the only one of her husbands, other than Blake, that survived marriage to her. We all know that Sean Rowan didn't survive his marriage to Alexis, neither did Cecil

Trés dramatique, but the death card in tarot rarely means a physical death. Far more often, it means the ending of something intangible, like a relationship or a philosophy, and a profound change. And it doesn't matter if you believe this or not--*Adriana* believes it, and she should know better than to put that interpretation on the card.

This is one of the oddest scenes in the entire series. I can't think of another minor character having so much interaction with a major character. Adriana just talks and talks.
