   The doctor’s tells JR that he is doing really well and will be walking before he knows it.  He meets Sue Ellen’s lawyer for lunch, he asks where Sue Ellen is, but he won’t tell him.  JR already knows she is staying with Kristin.  The lawyer tells JR that whatever Sue Ellen said to his is privileged.  JR tells him that the family can always get another lawyer.  He agrees to find another lawyer for Sue Ellen, that doesn’t owe JR a damn thing.

   Bobby tells everyone that he saw Sue Ellen and that she wants to see the baby.  Jock says that it’s too big of a risk, and JR says no.  Bobby tells them that she is lost and lonely; Miss Ellie tells them that she and Pam will take the baby to see her.

   Dr. Elby puts Sue Ellen under hypnosis, and he makes her tell him what happened the afternoon JR was shot.  She tells him that she put the gun in her purse and went to her appointment to see him.  She says that after that she went to the bar, she can’t remember how many she had, then she called JR but he wasn’t at his office.  So she went to Kristin’s condo, she gave her a drink and she thought that if only Dusty were alive none of this would have happened.  She tells him that she told Kristin that she was going to kill JR because he was going to put her in that institution again.  She tells him that she left the condo and had more to drink and can’t remember anything else.  Dr. Elby tries to get her to remember more, but she says she can’t.  He brings her out, and she asks him why she can’t remember, he tells her that he doesn’t know, either she just doesn’t want to remember or she just drank too much and blacked out (she knows she blacked out, that’s why she is coming to you to help her).  He asks her about when she woke up at the airport.  She tells him that she had a headache and when she got home she was surprised that no one was home except the servants, then Kristin coming and reminding her about coming to the condo.  He asks her when she put the gun in the closet.  She tells him that she didn’t have the gun anymore; she tells him that after she changed she changed purses and she would have remembered that.

   Sue Ellen goes back to Southfork, JR is alone outside, and she asks him where Kristin is.  JR tells her to get away from him, and that he will call the police if she comes any closer, as he tries to get up.  Kristin comes out and asks what is going on.  Sue Ellen tells her that she knows she was trying to frame her, she tells her that she knew she would put the gun down when she offered her that drink.  Kristin admits to taking the gun and shooting JR and that the next morning she went to the house and put the gun in the closet while Sue Ellen was in the shower.  JR is about to call the police, but Kristin stops him tell him that he wouldn’t want his son born in prison.  Sue Ellen tells JR that she is not going to jail for her.  JR tells Sue Ellen that he will take care of Kristin in his own way. 
Final Thoughts:  I feel kind of let down by the ending, only because it wasn’t a big reveal in front of everyone, but I liked it.  I kind of suspected Kristin more once Jock and Miss Ellie found the gun, it had to be someone with access to the house.  When I realized that the 30^th anniversary of this episode was on Wednesday I couldn’t believe how lucky I got to be able to watch it on the exact date, if I hadn’t stopped watching the shows since the move to the new house then I wouldn’t have gotten to do it.

On Saturday afternoon I was on IMDB looking something up about the Doctor Who episode we were watching, when I saw the news about Larry Hagman’s death.  I was shocked and honestly a little sad to hear the news, especially when I read what Patrick Duffy had to say about him.  I read that he and Linda Gray were both by his side.  It is amazing how close they were, I don’t think it is that common with many actors on TV shows.  I’m so glad that they got to reunite for the new series one last time, and that the original show is still available for us all to enjoy.
Best Outfit:  It's the suspenders again, this wouldn't be as bad, if it wasn't for the pattern on the shirt with the patterned suspenders.

Final Thoughts:  Poor Sue Ellen, she is so sure that she was the one to shoot JR.  I can't believe that Jock and Miss Ellie would think that Sue Ellen would shoot JR, they've known her long enough to know who she is, and what she is capable of, just because she is drinking doesn't mean that she would do it.  Lucy found another guy, I see there being an issue with money coming.  If I was Pam I wouldn't talk to Liz again after the last time we saw her.

Best Outfit:  I wish that I could have gotten a up close picture of the complete outfit, but the only one I could get was just the top.  The top isn't too bad, with out the suspenders, but the pants are odd.

John Ross asks Elena to go talk to Christopher and find more about his methane hydrate.  She asks him if he wants her to spy for him, he tells her that he just wants to know if what Christopher is doing is real or not, she tells him that there got to be another way.  He tells her that they are both black sheep, he will always be JR’s son and she will always be the cook’s daughter, who Christopher will use and throw away.

Elena goes to Christopher’s office, he is asleep, she starts to look around, he wakes and she goes to make coffee.  She notices the article about the earthquake and asks him what happened.  He tells her that it happened when they were getting the methane.  He asks her why she is there, she tells him that she just wants him to be happy, she gives him the box with a ring inside back and tells him she is sorry about his work and leaves.

Later on Christopher talks with Ray and Lucy he tells them that Cliff and JR can’t come to the wedding.  Lucy tells him count his blessings since they would still find a reason to fight, Bobby comes over and introduces them to Marta Del Sol, and tells them that her father will be purchasing Southfork.  Christopher tells Bobby that he needs to talk to him before he closes the deal, but before he can say anything else, Tommy, Rebecca’s brother arrives and wants to wash up before the wedding.  Christopher tells Bobby not to do anything till they talk.

Sue Ellen tells John Ross about the Del Sol Conservancy and that Marta and Bobby just got finished touring the ranch.  He tells her that JR is the first born and that he is the first grandson and that Bobby won’t steal their birthright.  He tells her that if she hadn’t sent him off to boarding school, then JR would have taught him the oil business and he would be running Ewing Oil now, instead of Cliff Barnes stealing it from them.  She admits that she made mistakes, and tells him that he needs to think of her as an ally and that she can help him with all her connections.  A waiter comes over and tells him that he has a phone call, but it’s really a way to get him away so he can give him a flash drive with the information that he asked for.  John Ross goes into the house and goes onto the computer and looks at the information from the flash drive, he reads about the earthquake and about the problems that methane hydrates can create for the world.  John Ross tells Christopher that they need to talk.  He asks why he never said anything about his alternative energy being unstable.  He asks him what Bobby would link about his experiment causing 1000 of people’s death.  He tells Christopher that unless he tells his father that he has changed his mind and can’t bear to lose his home and get Southfork off the market, he will expose him as a fraud.  Christopher agrees, he finds Elena and asks her why she told John Ross, she denies it, he tells her that John Ross just tried to blackmail him and said that he would tell Bobby everything.  Christopher says that she did it for nothing because John Ross doesn’t love her, he only uses people, he tells her that he was just beginning to trust her again.  Elena smacks him, she tells him to take a look in the mirror, she tells him that she will always love him, but they are just two different people from different worlds.  She asks if she was so wrong for him.  He tells her that he doesn’t know what she is talking about, she tells him it’s about the email he sent her the day they were supposed to get married.  He denies sending an email telling her that he waited hours for her thinking she was dead.  Then he found out she went to Mexico, and they the next thing he knew she was with John Ross.  

Elena tells him that he sent her an email telling her that they were a mistake, and that she only went to Mexico because she couldn’t stand to be there, and she tells him that John Ross found her.  She tells him that she thought she wasn’t good enough.  He tells her that she should never think that.  

Christopher goes to John Ross and grabs him, he tells him that he knows it was him. Christopher tells Bobby that methane is dangerous, but that John Ross is wrong, he tells him that he was going to tell him, and that he isn’t’ moving forward till he can develop a safe technology.  Bobby asks him if he thinks he will find a way to extract the methane, Christopher tells him that he knows that he can do it.  They come out of the office and Bobby tells Marta that the deal is still on and they shake on it.  John Ross walks out.  The wedding goes on, and Christopher and Rebecca are married.

John Ross goes to his father’s room, and finds that he isn’t alone, JR introduces him to Marta again, who has been working with JR this whole time, he asks his father why he never said anything.  JR tells him that he is the successor of the will and that he’s the one who belongs on Southfork.  He tells John Ross that Bobby isn’t stupid, but he is a lot smarter.

 

The red car pulls into a large garage and a woman gets out of the car, she walks out onto the Cowboy’s field, and goes to meet John Ross at the center of the field.  The woman is Marta, she tells him that he was right not to trust JR, and that she hopes that he knows what he’s doing.  He tells her to trust him, that Southfork will be his and that the fun is only beginning.

Final Thoughts:  I thought this was really good, it reintroduced characters we all know, and we got to meet new characters.  I don't really care for the whole cancer storyline, but we'll see where it goes.  It was really great to see all the original actors from the old show.  I hope that we get to see more familiar faces in the future.
