Lord of the Valley

Richard erhält überraschend Besuch von seiner Stieftochter Lorraine, die gerade ihre Journalistenausbildung abgeschlossen hat. Ihr Auftauchen kommt wie gerufen. Nach seiner Entmachtung im 'Globe' hat Richard einen Rundfunksender gekauft, den er zu einem führenden Medium ausbauen will, und dafür braucht er Leute aus der Branche. Pamela fühlt sich durch Lorraines Erscheinen vor den Kopf gestoßen.

In his quest for land adjoining Falcon Crest, Gustav Riebmann approaches Sam Giannini and when he refuses to sell, Gustav has Spheeris pay Giannini a special visit that night. Richard acquires the radio station KRDC, promptly fires the entire staff and makes Frank Taggert the new general manager. Chase and Maggie travel to New York, trying to uncover her past. Joel gives Terry written proof that they are still married, and it takes another $10,000 check to keep him quiet. Lorraine Prescott, Richard's stepdaughter from a previous marriage, re-enters his life, which is news that leaves Pamela stunned. Angela believes Richard's fierce protectiveness of Lorraine may be the weakness she's been looking for in him. Julia appears to Emma again on the porch, asking for money, but insists that Angela mustn't know.
