The Triumvirate

Richard, dem nun ein Drittel von Falcon Crest gehört, will dem Weingut sofort seinen Stempel aufdrücken. Er schlägt vor, eine computergesteuerte Weinkellerei zu errichten, um Tafelwein zu erzeugen. Chase und Angela sind dagegen. Terry wird von ihrem drogensüchtigen Ex-Ehemann erpresst. Richard verspricht, ihr zu helfen, wenn sie ihm ihre Ernte verkauft. Für die Realisierung seines Tafelwein-Projekts braucht er viele Trauben.

Richard, thrilled with his one-third ownership of Falcon Crest, makes plans to acquire more harvests. He reveals to Terry that he knows Joel is blackmailing her and promises to help her if she sells him her harvest. In the fake hospital, Spheeris and Riebmann continue to torment Julia, telling her that Angela has granted them permission to perform a frontal lobotomy on her. Ben Landale, claiming to work for the U.S. Government, arrives at Falcon Crest with orders to look for Johann Riebmann. With Melissa and Lance's divorce finalized, Melissa agrees to marry Cole. Mike Harris, who is secretly working with Angela, finds Maggie's mother, Charlotte Pershing, and takes her to the radio station. Angela informs Greg that she located Maggie's mother because her compulsive gambling habits will create major problems for Chase and Maggie.
