On his first day as an intern, an idealistic DR. DEVON PRAVESH (Manish Dayal) faces the harsh realities of medical care, as third year resident DR. CONRAD HAWKINS (Matt Czuchry) takes him under his wing and teaches his unconventional ways for treating patients. Meanwhile, Conrad goes head to head with Chief of Surgery DR. SOLOMON BELL (Bruce Greenwood), who uses power and intimidation to cover up his mistakes.

Fallon plays a game of cat and mouse with Cristal, as the two vie for the cover of a prestigious magazine. Steven's ex-boyfriend returns to town, upending Steven's life in many ways. Sammy Jo and Anders discover an unlikely connection.

Everything is shiny and bright at the city's Annual Tree Lighting, but behind the scenes, the Carringtons struggle with ghosts from their past; Fallon tries to move on from her former flame; Steven and Jeff band together to right an old wring; and Cristal's past resurfaces, threatening her future with Blake.

The Carringtons' plan for a peaceful holiday are spoiled by two new arrivals and the scandals they bring with them. Blake (Grant Show) faces a power struggle with his own father (guest stat Bill Smitrovich); meanwhile Fallon (Elizabeth Gillies) attempts to reunite the Colbys.

After Fallon's declaration of professional - and romantic - independence, Jeff tries to reel her back in. As Cristal struggles with Blake's unorthodox moral compass, she finds herself in a gray area of her own.
