Luke (Steven's friend) is one of the victims and Adam boldly forbids Claudia from comforting her estranged husband. While Blake negotiates a release, over Dex's objections, the new season storyline takes shape as the nefarious Sammy Jo (Heather Locklear) meets up with conniving movie director (George Hamilton) who zeroes in on her and Krystle as his meal-ticket of the future.

The plot thickens as Blake receives a crooked offer on an oil project from business rival Jason Colby; Jason's sister Constance plots for her nephew Jeff Colby; Alexis searches for King Galen; and Joel Abrigore attempts to transform Rita into Krystle. Charlton Heston and Barbara Stanwyck make notable debuts as the nefarious Colbys.
