Last episode: Episode 21
Brock has used too much money to acquire Starworks and realizes Allen may use the opportunity to attempt a hostile take-over. While Allen is working on Brock's board members, Dianna works on getting Tyler to help out with the take-over. She tells Tyler that he will then be given a top position and that Jordan received 2% of Brock Global Communications when she turned 25 while Tyler got nothing. Dr. Rose discharges Carrie. Tyler accesses Gil's computer and sends one of Gil's stockbroker friends a fake e-mail, telling him to buy Brock Global stocks. Realizing that Brock really loves her after all, Linda takes him back. Tyler anonymously tips the press that Gil is involved with insider trading. Bumping into each other at a fancy restaurant, Dianna and Linda start bickering and eventually end up in a wild chick fight in a swimming pool. Carrie goes to her family cottage in the Hamptons and calls Mark, telling him he has managed to drive her away from New York. Desperate to not let her escape his vengeance, Mark traces the call while Carrie waits for him with a gun. Brock fires Gil when he learns about the inside trade. The unlucky Gil then catches Rachel in a passionate tryst with Tyler and rushes out. Mark lies to Jordan that he has to be with his mother while she undergoes a minor surgery but he is of course actually headed to the Hamptons. Tyler tricks Jordan into signing a document that gives him the power of her 2% of Brock Global. Allen and Dianna are married and Brock gives them a wedding gift; suing Dianna for fraud and thereby freezing Dianna's Brock Global stocks. However, the judge lets her keep the stocks since it was her father that founded the company many years ago. Mark catches Carrie by surprise and ties her up, planning to kill her and make it look like a suicide. Meanwhile, a worried Jordan accesses Mark's laptop after she's unable to reach him anywhere. She finds the last chapter of his book and then realizes where he and Carrie are. Brock needs a majority of 51% to keep his company and Jordan's 2% turn out to be crucial. Finding out that the sneaky Allen never intends to give him a top job, Tyler uses Jordan's 2% to back his father, who then defeats Allen and Dianna. Jordan and the cops arrive at the Hamptons just as the bound Carrie fights to get free from Mark. The gun goes off in the struggle, leaving Mark shot. Allen suffers a fatal heart attack while in bed with Dianna. A not exactly grief stricken Dianna calls Brock and tells him Allen is dead and she's going to inherit everything he owns. Brock hangs up the phone and tells Linda he's got some good news and some bad news...
