Tread Perilously's '80s flashback month continues with, at long last, an episode of Falcon Crest called "The Price of Freedom."
It takes Richard Channing just a few days in prison to realize he needs out -- and he's prepared to sell out business rival Michael Sharpe to do it. Meanwhile at the winery, Angela Channing continues to plan for her Italian getaway, but still aims to break up her grandson Lance's marriage to Pilar. Will either person fall for the bait? And while Maggie tries to get on with her life, a surprise gift from Richard may change her destiny forever.
After several thwarted attempts, Justin finally sees an episode of Falcon Crest. Although, Erik suggests the episode is an example of the Prime Time Soap in decline. Justin makes an immediate connection between Angela Channing and Lucille Bluth. Lorenzo Lamas proves he has TV lead chops. Guest stars also abound with Tony Plana, John Diehl, and someone very dear to Erik and Justin's hearts. Also, Trapper John M.D.'s Gregory Harrison returns! Justin tries to figure out why Erik was watching Falcon Crest when it aired. A sauna scene leads to a very specific '80s flashback. The show's various theme songs are discussed -- yes, it matters -- and the streets of Pismo Beach lead to an explanation of Killer BOB.
