This was the final episode of the only season Dynasty ranked #1 in the Nielsen ratings and, with the entire series cast demanding substantial raises as their reward, the producers struggled to come up with a way to "keep the cast in line." What they came up with was a "royal wedding" attended by almost every actor in the series. As the marriage vows were completed, armed terrorists rappelled into the church, and seemingly shot and killed the entire cast! The action then freeze-framed, and audiences (and all those greedy actors) had to wait 'till the following fall to find out who survived...and who died.
This season finale culminates in what is probably the show's most famous episode - the Moldavian massacre.
