  Last week:  Dominique collapses while singing and is brought
  into the hospital.  She has a serious heart valve problem and
  requires immediate surgery.
 
  Alexis gets a call from Bolivia about the Jeff Colby-Nicole
  Devillves marriage.  Turns out they were married illegally by
  a bartender that Nicole had paid off.  Jeff finds out and tells
  Nicole to get out of his life.

  Luke comes to see Steven and tells him he wanted to see him and
  couldn't stand being without him.  Steven tells Luke that he
  missed him to.

  Dex contracts malaria in Paraguay and comes home collapsing on
  the floor.  At the hospital, a delirious Dex calls out Amanda's
  name while Alexis is present saying "Amanda...Amanda...I'm sorry,
  please forgive me..."  Alexis leaves the room in a huff.

  Dominique goes into surgery and suffers a few scary moments.  But
  she'll be fine and Blake is relieved.

  Steven tells Blake that he is in love with Luke.  Blake reassures
  Steven that he accepts him, but tells Claudia that Steven loves
  her and asks her not to abandon him.  Claudia retorts that she's
  not a one-woman rescue mission.  Adam butts in and ushers Claudia
  out of the room.

  Ashley visits Blake at the hospital and Crystal spies them holding
  hands.

  At the conclusion:  Alexis telephones Prince Michael's father and
  proposes an alliance.

  Dominique is recovering from her operation with a
  concerned Blake promising that as her brother he'll
  always be there for her.

  Alexis, feeling betrayed by Dex, tells him she's going
  on a "business" trip.  On the way out of the hospital
  she runs into Amanda who is concerned about Dex.  Alexis
  ushers Amanda back home telling her that Dex is not
  allowed visitors.

  Jeff romances Ashley Mitchell with a display of flowers
  and seems a lot happier.  Later,when Blake compliments Jeff
  on his positive attitude, he confesses that he wants to get
  Ashley to fall in love with him.  Blake expresses concern
  and hopes Jeff doesn't become involved with Ashley.  (wonder
  why???)

  Steven tells Crystal he's involved with Luke Fuller and is
  happy that Blake has accepted it, although he is still torn
  by his love for Claudia.

  Meanwhile in Moldavia, Alexis charms the King Galen as she
  steers the conversation to the topic of Prince Michael's
  engagement and Colbyco's possible economic aid to the kingdom.
  The King doesn't seem impressed since Alexis turned down
  his passionate advances the night before.

  Luke and Steven talk about Steven's depression.  Steven ends
  up telling Luke he really wants to be with him.  They go to bed.

  Blake questions Ashley on Jeff.  He tells her Jeff could be a
  problem because he's been hurt recently.  Ashley asks Blake if
  only Jeff's interests are on his mind and then kisses him "on
  impulse".

  Steven tells Claudia that he wants to make the relationship
  with Luke work, but he still loves her.  Claudia says that
  all she ever wanted was for Steven to make a choice and stick
  with it, although she had hoped that she could be the choice.
  She says she still loves Steven and always will (violins...).

  The Prince confesses to Alexis that he is in love with Amanda
  but that it wouldn't do any good since he has to follow his
  father's wishes.  Alexis tells him he must do what's right
  for himself (and what's right for Alexis, of course).

  Adam's friend Kyle makes a pass at Claudia, is turned down
  and decides to take his business elsewhere.  Adam blames
  Claudia for the loss of the conference at la Mirage in a
  discussion with Blake.  Blake comes down hard on Claudia
  and accuses her of mismanagement.  Claudia does not tell
  Blake why she lost the conference.  Later Adam takes advantage
  of the situation and tells Claudia that he's the only one
  she can trust.  Claudia seems to fall for it.

  Ashley and Dominique talk about the good old days.  Dominique
  asks her why she's here at Denver?  What is it that she
  really wants?  Crystal walks in and Ashley tells her that
  she's here to take advantage of any opportunities that may
  arise.  Dominique advises Crystal to patch up her marriage
  with Blake because Ashley is one of those women men find it
  very difficult to say no to.

  Alexis, never one to give up, pleads to the King not to let
  what happened to them happen to Michael and Amanda.  What she
  is referring to, of course, is to her past love affair with the
  King and the fact that they could not get married for political
  reasons.  She describes her unhappy marriages and her supposed
  "true love" for the King.  The King takes this opportunity to
  rekindle their love affair admitting to years of a loveless
  marriage.

  Crystal receives the picture of Ashley kissing Blake and confronts
  him.  Blake says it was only a "friendly" kiss.  They start
  argueing and finger pointing at each other.

  The King tells Alexis that their few hours together alone were
  the happiest he had for a long time.  Alexis claims that she's
  also been very happy too (especially since now she'll get her way).

  Dex returns home as Amanda sits by the fireplace reading magazines.
  He gets very cross at Amanda saying he doesn't like women who
  just walk in and out of his life.  Suddenly he feels sick and
  Amanda drapes his arm around her saying "you need me Dex." 
  At that moment, Alexis arrives with Prince Michael in tow.
