In the first episode of the 2017 reboot of Dynasty, entitled "I Hardly Recognized You," viewers are introduced to the Carrington family, a wealthy and powerful dynasty based in Atlanta, Georgia. The episode begins with the return of the patriarch of the family, Blake Carrington, from a business trip in China. Blake is played by Grant Show in this reboot series, taking over the role from John Forsythe in the original 1980s version.

Blake's daughter Fallon, played by Elizabeth Gillies, leads the charge in welcoming her father home, but it is clear from the outset that their relationship is strained. Fallon is determined to prove to her father that she is capable of running the family's energy company, Carrington Atlantic, on her own, while Blake wants to groom his future son-in-law and Carrington Atlantic's new COO, Jeff Colby (Sam Adegoke), for a leadership role in the company.

At a welcome home party for Blake, Fallon meets Jeff for the first time in years. The two of them share a contentious history, having dated in the past before Jeff left Fallon to pursue a successful career of his own. Fallon is immediately threatened by Jeff's presence at the company and the attention he receives from Blake, especially when she learns that Jeff has his sights set on a lucrative pipeline deal that Fallon has been working on for months.

While Fallon deals with Jeff at work, her personal life is thrown into disarray when her fiancé, Culhane (Robert Christopher Riley), is arrested for assaulting one of Carrington Atlantic's employees. Fallon finds herself torn between her loyalty to Culhane and her desire to protect the company's reputation.

Meanwhile, Blake's new wife, Cristal (Nathalie Kelley), faces her own challenges in navigating the intricate social scene of the Atlanta elite. Cristal is immediately at odds with Fallon, who sees her as a threat to her position in the family and the company. Cristal also finds herself caught in the middle of a power struggle between Blake and his son, Steven (James Mackay), who is openly gay and estranged from his father.

As the episode unfolds, viewers are given a glimpse into the opulent lifestyles and cutthroat politics of the Carrington family. With rivalries brewing and secrets lurking beneath the surface, it is clear that the drama has only just begun for this wealthy and powerful dynasty.
