Recap: There is a typhoon in the South Seas, JR wants to know when
the rigs will be up and running again, they tell him that they won’t be up and
running for awhile due to the damage the typhoon caused. JR calls Allan at Cliff’s campaign
headquarters, he isn’t there so he tries him at home, Lucy is there. JR tells him that he wants to meet with him
in 20 minutes. When Alan finally arrives
he tells JR that he thinks they are nearing the end of the plan. JR tells him that he needs Cliff to declare that
he is running by the end of the week.
Bobby comes into the office and asks Kristin where JR
is. He tells her that he knows about the
Southeast Asia deal, he keeps asking her questions, while she continues to deny
knowing anything. He asks her if the
Cartel is in on the deal, she tells him to ask them himself.
Pam and Cliff are at lunch together, he tells her that he
will declare his candidacy if he feels the support after his speech he is
giving late. He asks her to help him, he
wants to see Sue Ellen. She tells him
that she is seeing a therapist and that he better not hurt her again,
At lunch Bobby with a member of the Cartel Bobby finds out
that JR alone on the Southeast Asia deal.
He discovers that JR put something up really substantial as the
collateral to get the loan. He goes to
the hall of records and finds out that it’s Southfork.
Cliff and Alan watch his speech together, Alan asks him when
he will announce. Cliff asks him about
the money, he tells him that it is pouring in.
Cliff tells him that he will let him know.
When JR gets home late that night Bobby is waiting for him
and wants to talk. He shows him copies
he made at the hall of records. Things
get loud and soon Jock and Ellie come outside wanting to know what is going
on. Bobby tells him that JR mortgaged
Southfork to buy the rights to drill in Southeast Asia. Obviously they are both angry. Jock asks when the oil will start coming in,
JR has to tell them about the damage caused by the typhoon. JR tries to convince them that things will be
ok. Miss Ellie tells Jock that she
didn’t marry him to lose Southfork over an oil deal. Bobby tells Jock that it isn’t his fault,
Jock tells him that it is he taught JR everything he knows, but not when to
stop.
Sue Ellen is layi8ng in bed when JR comes into their
room. She tells him that everyone was
listening to what was going on. She
tells him that he is scared, and that she has never seen him scared before. He turns to go, and she asks him if he is
going to her sister, she tells him that she doesn’t think that she’s ever been
with a poor man before.
Bobby tells Pam that he thinks everyone, but Miss Ellie
could stand losing Southfork, and that it’s ironic that the Ewing’s will be
destroyed by his brother and not hers.
JR goes to Kristin’s house, he doesn’t believe her at first
when she says that she is alone. She
convinces him that she cares about him and not the money. She tells him that she hates Bobby for what
he did. She asks him if he is going to
stay.
Bobby finds Jock outside and he tells his son that there’s
not enough time to start over, and that there is no time to build another
Southfork.
JR goes into the office and gets a phone call from Alan, he
tells him that Cliff will announce that he is quitting the OLM and running for
Congress. JR hangs up and is very
pleased with himself. He goes back to
Southfork and gives them all the news.
They can start drilling for oil again in Texas again. Miss Ellie asks Jock to try and extend the
loan again because of this news.
Jock goes to the offices and begins to get things running
again. Bobby comes in and tells Jock and
JR that Vaughn will be in later.
Cliff is waiting in his car for Sue Ellen, he goes over to
her. She isn’t pleased to see him,
thinking he is having someone spy on her like JR. He asks her about the baby, she tells him
that he is well. He tells her that he is
making plans, but she stops him telling him no.
Jock, Bobby and JR are all watching the press conference,
Cliff announces that he is stepping down from the OLM and is going to official
put his name in the race.
Vaughn tells Jock that it’s too risky and that they can’t
extend the loan. He tells them that he
would, but it’s the other bankers. After
he leaves Jock says that he thinks that they can get a week. He says that they better strike oil or it’s
all over.
Back at Southfork Sue Ellen gloats over JR’s misfortune and
that Jock is taking over things. Sue
Ellen goes to check up on the baby, she tells him that he will never know about
the ranch, and that he will knew get his trust fund. Miss Elle overhears this and she goes out and
takes a tour of the ranch.
Jock and Bobby go over paper work to see if they missed
anything. Jock gets a phone call and
finds out the person who will be the head of the OLM. When JR gets to the office, Kristin tells him
that Jock and Bobby are going over all the paper work. He decides to leave again and goes to the
Cattlemen’s Club. Once he is gone
Kristin calls Jordan Lee, and tells him that she is free for lunch.
That night before dinner Jock tells Miss Ellie that they
tried everything, Miss Ellie tells JR that she will never understand his
motives. She tells them that the bank
can’t take away the mineral rights that her father left her from section 14. She says that she thinks that the bank will extend
the loan if the drill for oil there. She
says that she is willing to go against her father’s wishes to save Southfork.
The next day Miss Ellie goes to Ewing Oil to sign the
papers, once she is done she asks Jock to take her home, she turns back and
tells JR that she may never forgive him for this.
Final Thoughts: I'm glad that everything has finally come out, and that JR secret it out of the bag, at least the secret about the oil. I love Miss Ellie, she is awesome. I love how she turned things all around and saved the ranch. I can't wait to see what will happen now with Cliff and his campaign.
