'Dynasty' Sneak Peek: Matthew's Funeral

After earning modest premiere ratings, The CW's reboot of Dynasty returns tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT with the opportunity to gain some momentum.

In "Spit It Out," when it's discovered that Matthew's "accidental" death may have involved foul play, the spotlight falls on the Carringtons themselves. The family must swallow their own suspicions of each other and close rank to defend the clan.

Meanwhile, Cristal (Nathalie Kelley) struggles with what it means to be a Carrington, while Fallon (Elizabeth Gilles) begrudgingly helps cover up Cristal's affair to protect the family name. Despite their efforts, everything comes to an emotional head at Matthew's funeral.

'Dynasty' Premieres Tonight on The CW

The CW's reboot of Dynasty finally premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following Riverdale.

In "I Hardly Recognized You," Fallon Carrington (Elizabeth Gillies) is charismatic, cunning, and poised to become the new COO of her father Blake's (Grant Show) global energy empire - or so she thinks. Along with her brother Steven, (James Mackay) Fallon is horrified to learn that they were called home not to announce her promotion - but rather to make the acquaintance of their stepmother-to-be, Cristal (Nathalie Kelley). When Blake chooses Cristal over his own daughter, Fallon sidles up to Blake's biggest rival, Jeff Colby (Sam Adegoke), to seek her revenge.

Meanwhile, when Cristal's nephew Sammy Jo (Rafael de la Fuente) comes to town, her carefully concealed history could bring her future crashing down - and who knows who else she might take down with her.
