Dallas
Season 1 Episode 27
Air Date: March 16, 1979
Recap: Miss Ellie asks JR why he’s
calling Mr. Mainwaring, he tells her that just because the weddings off doesn’t
mean that they still can’t do business together. Miss Ellie tells JR not to talk about the
Mainwaring’s again. Bobby offers to take
Lucy to school, instead he gives her a new car, he tells her it’s because he
thinks that he deserves it.
At the office there is a Mr.
Morgan in JR’s office he tells Jock and JR that the O.L.M have stopped them
from their test drilling, because they had a delay with the environmental
report, JR says that Cliff is just holding them up. JR tells Jock that they need to do something
about Cliff, and remove the O.L.M. They
need to get someone with a lot of power to help them out, they decided to call
Sam Culver, he owes Jock a favor.
At a bar (which a group that
looks like it could be a part of the Partridge family) there is a group of
people that we’ve never seen before, they all want to go somewhere else to
dance, except for one lady, she says she wants to stay and listen to the
music, one of the men doesn’t like that starts to give her a hard time, they
are getting a lot of notice from the other people in the bar, one of them is
Ray, he comes over and suggests that the guy leaves before a fight breaks out.
She thanks Ray and he asks if she would like to have a drink with him. Later they are talking about him working the
ranch. Her cab arrives and she tells him
that she had a good time, he asks if they can get together again, she asks if
he will be here the next night, he said he might.
Sam is late for lunch with JR
and Jock, when he does arrive they talk to him about how Cliff is out to get
the Ewing’s and they want him to help them get some laws past that will help
them out, I doubt even then that you
could get laws past as fast as they would need them to help them. He tells them that he needs to look in to it,
and they invite him and his wife to dinner at Southfork. She comes to pick him up, and he introduces
Jock and JR to his wife Donna, she’s the lady from the bar.
JR comes home and finds Sue
Ellen drinking alone in the room where the family gathers before dinner. She says that he seems pleased with
himself. He tells her that if she isn’t
going to come to dinner, then he hopes that she won’t make a sound if she
passes out.
Donna meets up with Ray
again, he says he didn’t think that she would come, he wants to know more about
her, since they just talked about him last night. She gives him the basic facts, but not that
she is married.
Ray tells Pam and Bobby about
his new lady friend and make plans to meet up for a drink in a few days.
Sam and Jock are reminiscing
about their past, JR is pushing for Sam to give him an answer, but he tells him
that he’s not ready yet, he wants to talk to Donna about it first. Miss Ellie tells them that she doesn’t want
to hear anymore talk about business.
In JR and Sue Ellen’s room,
JR tells her that he’s glad that she didn’t speak during dinner, since she
would probably have made a fool of herself.
Lucy has come friends over,
hanging out by the pool, they want her to go with them to a party, but she is
still upset about Kit, and doesn’t want to go, one of the girls gives her a
pill, telling her that it will make her feel better. They all cheer when she takes it.
Bobby and Ray go to the bar
to meet up with Ray and his date, when they see that it’s Donna they leave
before Ray could see them. The next
morning Bobby calls Donna to meet up with him, JR overhears Bobby on the phone.
One of the members of the
D.O.A tells Miss Ellie that they want Sue Ellen to resign temporarily as
president until she’s had the baby and is back to normal, everyone knows that
Sue Ellen is drinking a lot. They ask
Miss Ellie to talk to Sue Ellen about it.
Donna meets up with Bobby and
he asks her why she is seeing Ray, and if he knows she’s married. He tells her that Ray was hurt before by Garnet
McGee, she tells him that she doesn’t want to hurt Ray, and that she cares for
Ray. She tells him how she met Sam, and
that she loves him but is not and has never been in love with him. She knows that all three of them will be
hurt, and she doesn’t know what she can do about it.
JR gets home and Miss Ellie
tells him that Sue Ellen is resigning, I don’t think she told Sue Ellen about
it yet, but to save face Sue Ellen acts like she was the one to decide
this. JR wants to know where Ray is, and
Jock tells him that he went to town. He
tells him that he has to go out to, and for him to tell Sue Ellen that he will
be late.
Ray and Donna are in a motel
room, Ray tells her that he wants to go away together for awhile, so that they
can get to know each other better. JR is
outside watching the window.
JR meets Donna as she is
window shopping, he tells her that he wants her to convince Sam to support the
Ewing’s, and if she does he won’t tell Ray that she’s married.
Lucy’s friends get her to
come with them to another party and give her another one of those pills.
Donna calls Ray and tells him
she has to see him.
JR tells Jock that he hasn’t
heard from Sam yet, but he’s sure to hear from him anytime.
Ray tells Donna it’s nice to
see her out in the open for a change. She tells him that she is leaving Dallas, he
asks if she is leaving or running. She
tells him that she is married, he asks her if she loves him, she tells him that
her husband is rich, powerful and an older man.
He asks if he was just some young stud to her, she tells him that he is
very special to her and that she would have had an affair before if it was like
that. She tells him that she loves Sam
but isn’t in love with him, and that she told him that, and that she is going
to divorce him, Ray says that she can stay then, but she tells him that she
can’t , she needs time to figure thinks out.
She tells him that he is a good man, and that when she comes back, he
kisses her and tells her that he’ll be here.
At Southfork Bobby tells JR
that Sam is on the phone for him, JR is happy to hear from him till Sam tells
him that he won’t be supporting them that he will be giving his support to the
O.L.M. and to Cliff. JR starts to tell
him about Donna, but Sam stops him telling him that he knows everything already.
Ray tells Bobby that he’s
ready to build that house on his land, he tells him that things didn’t work out
with his friend, but he learned that he can still care for someone.
Final Thought: Things are going to well for JR and Sue Ellen, everyone knows she's drinking too much but no one will say anything. JR is getting over his head and something is going to happen where he's going to be in a lot of trouble. I liked Donna and Ray together, I hope that she comes back, but I just don't see her being 28 like she told Ray. But now I know about how old Bobby is, since they went to school together.
Fight Count: 0
