Air Date: April 9, 1978
Recap: Lucy is getting the mail and burns a letter.
In the barn Bobby is giving Pam riding lessons, but what he really wants to do is have sex with her. Bobby overhears Ray complaining to another ranch-hand about having to take Lucy to school. Bobby confronts him and tell Ray that he has to do what his father told him to do. It must be pretty early because they haven't had breakfast yet. He tries to get Pam to go have sex with him again, but she tells him that she's hungry.
At the breakfast table the family is talking about Lucy, who has skipped breakfast again, she's been skipping school and is getting behind. When she finally joins them Sue Ellen asks if she's going to change before going to school. I'm not really sure what is wrong with the light blue sweater and jeans she's wearing, but apparently it will embarrass the family if she's wearing that, so she goes to change.
Outside Ray asks Pam if Bobby is going to have him fired. She tells Bobby what he said while saying goodbye to him. Lucy comes out and she's changed, she's got the brightest red pants I've ever seen. Miss Ellie talks to Pam about Lucy and how her father isn't as strong as the other Ewing men, and that Lucy is spoiled, wow thanks for stating the obvious there. She thanks Pam for listening to her.
In Ray's truck Lucy unbuttons her vest, she convinces Ray to take her back to Southfork. Sue Ellen and Miss Ellie leave and now Pam is alone.
The phone rings and after realizing that she is now a Ewing too, when they caller asks for a Mrs. Ewing, we find out it's the school, they want to know where Lucy is, Pam says she'll bring her in as soon as she finds her. Out in the barn Pam calls for Ray, he comes down from the loft and she tells him to leave so she can talk to Lucy. Lucy comes down and Pam tells her she's going to tell Jock about Lucy burning the letters from the school, if she doesn't start going. Pam wins, and she takes her to school.
At the office Julie, JR's secretary tells him that Bobby is figuring things out. JR needs to think of away to keep Bobby from finding out what's going on with the business.
Pam and Lucy arrive at school and they meet up with the teacher who called. He says he can tutor Lucy in math, which is her worst subject. After school, Roger comes up to her and tells her about the club he's in, and that they offer tutoring, she says that hes' probably a wiz at sex ed. Pam come and in the car she says that he was cute, and tells Lucy that she should date someone her own age. She's bought Lucy some new clothes, which Lucy throws out the window, but after Pam stops the car she retrieves it.
Back at the ranch she drops Lucy off then drives over to the barn to talk to Ray. She tell him that she'll tell Jock, JR and Bobby about him and Lucy if she catches them together again. In her room Lucy cuts the shirt that Pam bought for her.
The next day at school, Lucy is in the teacher's office, he's grading her work, Roger is watching from the other room and sees her take off her jacket, we can see what she was doing the night before. Suddenly she starts screaming for him to keep his hands off her. When Pam comes to the school to pick up Lucy Roger tells her about what happened, but not what he really saw. Pam goes to the principals office and isn't convinced like the principal that the teacher is guilty. She tells him not to call the police until she's talked with Lucy, the principal says to the teacher that he better hope that Pam can get her out of this.
At the office Bobby is talking to JR, who goes on about how Bobby has been "playing" while JR has been learning the business. So in his mind Bobby doesn't deserve to know anything.
Pam finds Lucy walking home and confronts her about what happened at the school. She did it just because Pam made her go to school. Sue Ellen insults Pam because she's worked in retail, after Miss Ellie asks if the outfit that Lucy is wearing is on that Pam bought her. Lucy gets a phone call, she asks Jock if she can go to a party with a boy from school. JR and Sue Ellen stick their nose in, but Jock agrees. JR says that Lucy makes him feel old. Miss Ellie says JR was born old, I love Miss Ellie.
Bobby and Pam are planning to go out, but get distracted with a little kissing. Lucy gets into the car with Roger, who is blackmailing her, she tells him she wants to go dancing because it puts her into the mood, so off they go to a club. At the disco, which is "awesome", everyone is having a great time. Ray is there and Lucy goes off with him and tell him she needs him to help her get rid of his guy. Of course this is where Pam and Bobby are going too. She see Roger dancing she goes over and he tells her that he's there with Lucy. Bobby sees Lucy with Ray, and he hits him. Ray has three guys holding him back, he suggest they go outside to finish this, and that this isn't about him and Lucy, it's still about him and Pam. Pam realizes that Roger knew what really happened and that he's blackmailing her, she says she's going to make him tell the principal what he saw. Lucy tells Pam that she's worse than Sue Ellen, and makes her cry when she says she really a Ewing now, because she's using people. Bobby talks to Lucy and convinces her that Pam really cares about Lucy, so they go over to Pam and apparently have a great time.

Final Thoughts: This episode had a lot of drama, the whole thing with Lucy and the teacher, would be so different now, the police would have been called right away and the school would have called her family. So Lucy is 16, and Pam and Bobby let her stay at the club, even though I'm pretty sure it's a school night and she's underage. I guess it's okay then, if she's with them and not with a blackmailer or the ranch-hand.
Best outfit: Who wouldn't want this bright red vest/pant suit
