## Development

[edit]

With The Colbys cancelled, John James and Emma Samms returned as Jeff and Fallon for Dynasty's eighth season.[1] By the end of the season, Dynasty had dropped out of the top 30, and was ranked #41 in the United States.[2] The season finale episode "Colorado Roulette" was the last episode of the series to air on a Wednesday,[3] and the show moved to Thursdays for season nine.[4]

## Plot

[edit]

Jeff and Fallon return to Denver, their marriage falling apart again. Matthew, returned from the dead but troubled by headaches, holds the Carringtons hostage in hopes that Krystle will run away with him. Steven ends the siege by reluctantly stabbing his old friend to death. Alexis, whose car plunged into a river at the end of season seven, is saved by a handsome, mysterious stranger, Sean Rowan. She later marries him, not realizing that he is the son of deceased Carrington majordomo Joseph Anders, bent on revenge on behalf of his father and sister, Kirby. Steven and Sammy Jo's reconciliation is short-lived, and the pursuit of a child unravels Adam and Dana's marriage. Sean begins to manipulate and destroy the Carringtons from the inside, and he fights Dex to the death in the March 30, 1988 season finale. Blake, who failed being elected as governor of Colorado, comes home to find Krystle missing and their bedroom in shambles.
