Production details[]

  • Shooting dates: from January 28, 1982 to February 5, 1982
  • Filming Locations: 20th Century Fox studios; Franklin Canyon Reservoir, Santa Monica Mountains (Los Angeles).
  • Deleted scenes : Steven is having an argument with Sammy Jo when Joseph informs him about Fallon's accident; Alexis talks to Fallon while she is asleep; Blake talks to Dr. Brighton.
  • Trimmed scenes : Nick asks Steven and Sammy Jo if they have seen Fallon; after her unpleasant talk with Alexis at the hospital Krystle argue with Nick; Sammy Jo insists that Alexis sign her a twenty five thousands check rather than sixteen thousands.
  • Trivia: This is the first episode to feature what would become a hugely popular Dynasty staple - a catfight between Krystle and Alexis. Their first "contretemps", as Alexis would refer to it, takes place in her studio and is a clear victory for Krystle who finishes it with the classic line "If you want a rematch, just whistle. If you can."
  • Goofs: Obvious stunt double for Joan Collins in the catfight scene.
    During the fight, Alexis grabs a glass vase and tries to hit Krystle with it, but ends up shattering it on the floor instead. She then puts her hand directly on the broken glass and rolls over the shards, but she isn't cut at all.

Quotes[]

  • Krystle Carrington [after a particularly nasty catfight with Alexis]: If you want a rematch, just whistle... if you can!
  • Alexis Carrington [Alexis has offered Sammy Jo twenty thousand dollars to allow her marriage to Steven to be annuled]: From now on, every word that you utter is going to cost you one thousand dollars. You've just said four words; that's now sixteen thousand dollars.
    Sammy Jo Dean Carrington: Hey!
    Alexis Carrington: Not exactly a word, but I'm going to count it anyway. Fifteen thousand dollars. Tell me something, my little nymphette: is this your way of upping the ante?
  • Claudia Blaisdel : You've made a prostitute out of me.
    Cecil Colby: I taught you how to use sex for gain. And it apparently upsets you.
    Claudia Blaisdel: It disgusts me.
    Cecil Colby: How naive you are for a bright young woman, Claudia. Don't you know that if you want something in this world, you have to pay for it?
  • Dr. B. Forrester : Well, there's no point in your all waiting tonight. The baby is in intensive care, and Mrs. Colby isn't in any condition for visitors.
    Alexis Carrington: Doctor, I'm her mother. May I see her?
    Dr. B. Forrester: Oh, you can, of course, Mrs. Carrington. In the morning.
