Info Alert[]
- This two-hour episode set the stage for the "Dynasty" spin-off, "The Colbys", and introduced many of "The Colbys" characters. For the purpose of reruns this has been edited into two seperate episodes. It aired two weeks after the previous episode. On October 12, 1985 ABC aired "North and South" (mini series - part 3).
- Claire Yarlett (Bliss Colby) makes her first and last appearance in "Dynasty" during this episode.
- It is revealed in this episode that Alexis and Sable are cousins, which would make Fallon and her new love interest Miles are cousins, as well as Fallon and her ex-husband Jeff, since Jeff's mother is Sable's sister.
