I am now rewatching season 3. I always was and still am an Alexis fan and I always thought that she is not the "evil to the bone" person most people think she is.
When I first saw it as a child I thought setting up Mark Jennings in his hotel room so as to break up the affair he was trying to have with Fallon was a bad thing to do.
Now that I see it again I think she was doing Fallon a favour and that her motive was not only jealousy but also care for her daughter. Mark was not worth it. He came to Denver to get Krystle back, had an affair with Alexis and at the same time made a pass at her daughter.
I think he deserved what he got.
