Plot
The May 1989 series finale of Dynasty had left Forsythe's oil tycoon Blake Carrington shot by a corrupt policeman, his beloved wife Krystle (Evans) in an off-screen coma, and his conniving ex-wife Alexis Colby (Collins) plunging from a balcony. The Reunion picks up two years later as Blake — having survived the shooting but then convicted for the death of his attacker — is pardoned and released from prison.
An awakened Krystle returns to Denver and is reunited with an overjoyed Blake, whose son Steven (Corley) is now an environmental lobbyist in Washington, D.C. and in a relationship with Bart Fallmont (Cameron Watson). Blake's daughter Fallon (Emma Samms) has split with Jeff Colby (John James), while raising their children and Blake and Krystal's daughter, Krystina Carrington (Jessica Player), and reunited with Miles Colby (Maxwell Caulfield), while Sammy Jo (Heather Locklear) — having lost her fortune — is once again modeling in New York. On the catwalk for Fashion Fury she soon comes in contact with the company's newest investor: her ex-mother-in-law, a very-much-alive Alexis.
It soon becomes clear that Blake's downfall had been orchestrated by The Consortium, a mysterious organization which now controls Denver-Carrington. The most insidious part of their plan comes to fruition as Krystle, brainwashed before her return, is compelled to make an attempt on Blake's life. Her love for Blake allows her to resist and overcome the programming, but The Consortium kidnaps Jeff. Miles joins Blake's eldest son Adam (Sachs) and Jeff's ex-wife Kirby Anders (Kathleen Beller) to rescue him. Despite Adam's involvement in The Consortium's takeover, he and Blake reconcile their differences. Adam and Kirby also rekindle their past romance and Blake regains control of Denver-Carrington.
The Carringtons reunite at the mansion as secret Consortium leader Jeremy Van Dorn (Jeroen Krabbé) — romantically involved with a clueless Alexis — attempts to both gain control of her company and kill her. She is rescued by Adam as Van Dorn escapes; he is taken away by the police, who are actually members of the Consortium in disguise. Fallon realizes she loves Jeff, Adam and Kirby reconcile, and even Alexis joins the festivities as Blake toasts the family. The miniseries ends as Blake and Krystle dance together.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
