Dynasty Season Premiere Review – Fallon and Liam’s Rehearsal Dinner (4×01)

It’s been one very long year, but is finally back! 


And there was no shortage of rich people antics to bring all the drama back to life. Man, I missed all the theatrics! 


Much of the premiere focused on Fallon and Liam’s preparations for the wedding rehearsal/day. 


And mostly, they were navigating all the issues that were being thrown their way. 


As all of Fallon’s big plans derailed, she assumed that was cursed and tried to get back on track by finding something borrowed, new, old, and blue. 


I would have never taken Fallon for a superstitious person, but when you want the biggest day in your life to go right, it’s understandable that you’ll go to extremes. 


The most concerning part is that most of the omens — aside from the church flooding and the officiant getting an allergic reaction — targeted Liam. First, the crystal cake topper shattered and decapacitated the groom, and then his mother punched a hole through his picture at the rehearsal dinner. 


Could this be a foreshadowing of Liam’s death?


I wouldn’t have placed so much emphasis on these moments if it wasn’t for the opening scene that was set 6 months in the future and showed Fallon sitting alone at a funeral. 


It’s not immediately clear whose funeral it was, but I’m guessing that if it was anyone other than Liam, the rest of the family would’ve been sitting front and center. 


On the other hand, it would be a huge mistake to kill off Liam considering his appeal with fans. I think they would literally boycott the show.


Not to mention it’s way too obvious.


Maybe the series will finally tackle and put an end to the Steven Carrington storyline?


For now, let’s focus on the positive — Liam still found a way to find the silver lining following that disastrous rehearsal dinner. 


Fallon comes from quite a chaotic family, so we never expected the dinner to go smoothly.. Has there ever been a calm and peaceful Carrington event?


However, it was bound to take a toll on Fallon considering her day of incredibly bad luck. Everything that could go wrong did.


The parents even stole the spotlight from the bride and groom when it was revealed that Cristal slept with the priest (the new officiant) and Blake stepped out with the groom’s mother, Laura, who crashed the event. 


Fallon’s reaction was completely within reason.


But as I said, Liam, the only sane and grounded person in the family, somehow managed to salvage the night with the cutest and most thoughtful something old — napkins from each place he and Fallon went on a date.

He’s such a keeper, it’s no wonder Fallon is fighting so hard to make this wedding perfect.


And she probably should’ve stopped relying on items from her family members who have never had a successful relationship or marriage. 


Fallon’s bout of bad luck turned out to be manmade… Ethan, her scorned ex-lover, ended up being responsible for flooding the church and likely poisoning the officiant. 


Will he take his revenge to the next level and come after Liam?


After the explosive fight at the rehearsal, Blake and Cristal promised they’d do the work and commit to working on their marriage. 


I’ll believe it when I see it.


Blake’s romantic relationship wasn’t the only thing on the verge of sinking. Carrington Atlantic was nearing bankruptcy and holding on by a thread. He attempted to get a loan to salvage what was left of the company by replenishing the oil that was destroyed in the refinery explosion, but when he was denied, he agreed to leverage his personal assets. Big mistake. 


Little did Blake know, Alexis (or should I say Cruella) and Jeff Colby had their hand in it. 


It’s going to be a delicious, juicy mess. 


Sammy and Ryan, the stripper he married in the finale, finally got their marriage annulled.


However, Ryan stuck around and ended up lying to Sammy about his flight cancellation.


Is there really something shady going on or did Culhane just plant those ideas in Sammy’s mind and now he can’t shake them?


If Ryan was a gold digger, I don’t think he’d sign off on the annulment. Though you can never be too careful these days, I guess. 


It’s been a year and I’m still not invested in Dominique’s storyline. She and her sleepwear brand “Doma-Sleek” remain as irrelevant as ever. 


And finally, is Adam turning over a new leaf?


He’s been the family’s bad apple since he came to the mansion, but it seems like being in a relationship with Kirby is turning him into a better person.


And that would explain why he’s so worked up about Anders exposing his past. Adam was scared that if Kirby found out the truth, she would leave him.


When he learned that Anders talked to the nurse in charge of his mother’s care, he confessed to all of his past sins.


I never thought I’d see the day that Adam openly talks about pushing Alexis into the fire and murdering his mom via an overdose.


It was probably the most shocking twist in the episode followed by Kirby’s reaction. Instead of running for the hills, she grabbed his hand and assured him that everyone has secrets. 


And while that’s true, I think some secrets outweigh others. 


Then again, Kirby was grateful that Culhane always accepted her and never judged her, so she’s just extending that same courtesy to Adam. 


Since Adam is on this honesty trail, I’m even more inclined to think that Steven Carrington’s storyline will bubble up to the surface and Fallon is attending her future several months down the line. 


What do you think? Who won’t survive the season?


Did you enjoy the season premiere? Was it worth the wait?
