John Ross says that he told him that nothing he did in the videos ended up mattering, and that it was JR that stole Southfork.  John Ross tells Christopher that he is trying to do the right thing, to put it all behind them and bring the family together.  But Christopher says it is all on video and he can’t lie his way out of it.  John Ross tells them that he will confess to everything if what he says is sealed, and that no one will tell Elena anything.  She walks in and says that he lied about everything, and walks out, he goes after her.  He tells her that he wanted to tell her, but he was too ashamed, he tells her that he did it because he was angry that Bobby wouldn’t let him drill.  Elena tells him that she asked him if he was involved and he lied to her face.  John Ross tells her that he only did it because he knew that she wouldn’t have given him another chance, he says that he has been trying to be better for her because he loves her.  She tells him that he lies so easily, she asks how she can ever trust him again.  He tells her that he is trying to put things right, she starts to take her ring off, but he tells her to stop, he says that he knows she is angry and that she hates him right now, but he asks her not to give up on him, he asks her to meet him at the offices so they can have a new beginning.

Vicente is taken to a room where Bobby, Christopher and JR are, Bobby tells him that he is friends with the US Attorney and he allowed them to have a few minutes.  He tells Vicente that he has signed confessions from JR and John Ross which invalidates any deal he had with them, and also with Christopher.  Christopher tells him that he is not only going to jail for fraud but for murder.  Bobby tells him about the videos Veronica made for her protection, and that the police have them.  Vicente tells him that he doesn’t know anything about her murder.  He tells JR that if he is going down for her murder then so is John Ross, JR says that he never asked for him to hurt anyone and besides they have immunity, he will be the only one to go to jail.  After Vicente is taken away Bobby tells JR that he wouldn’t have sent him to jail, JR tells him that he knows that or else he wouldn’t have sign the confession.  He tells him that he was always the better man, but predictable.  Bobby tells him that he is predictable too and that is why he had Lew make him a copy of Veronica’s cloud drive, he tells JR that if he crosses him again then he will use it.  JR tells him that he wouldn’t have it any other way.

When Bobby and Christopher get back to Southfork, he tells John Ross that it’s over, Vicente was arrested along with the men that murdered Veronica.  Christopher tells him that Elena deserved the truth, just like they all did.  He tells him that he wanted to believe him, but what he did was worse then what he ever expected.  Bobby tells his son that John Ross was only like his father.  He tells John Ross that he might be young enough to have learned a lesson, he tells him that he can change, and that he hopes the two of them can find a way to work together to make their business happen, to bring peace to the family.  Bobby leaves them, John Ross gets a phone call, he hands Christopher the phone and tells him that it’s for him.  Bum tells him that he found Tommy.

Christopher meets him at the motel, Bum tells him that Tommy checked in two weeks ago, but never checked out.  Christoper takes the key card and they go into the room, it’s been cleaned out.  He says that Tommy got out of town because he knew that he was looking for him.  Just then the phone rings, Christopher answers it, the woman thinks he’s Tommy and tells him that he needs to come home, because their Uncle Fred had a heart attack.  Christopher asks who she is, she is confused and tells him that she is his sister Rebecca, she realizes that he isn’t Tommy and asks who he is.

Christopher goes to the Rebecca’s apartment, he tells her that he just talked to the real Rebecca Sutter, he asks her who she is, she tells him that he won’t understand, he tells her to tell him who she is.  Rebecca tells him that she is his wife, Rebecca Ewing.  He tells her that it’s only going to be more lies, she tells him that she doesn’t want to lie anymore, she says that she did everything to come up from under things.  Christopher tells her that he was the one that came back and gave her a second chance.  He tells her that she has no idea what is real anymore.  She tells him that she knows what she feels for him.  Rebecca tells him that she isn’t the only one who lied in this marriage, she tells him that she never had a chance with him because he was still in love with Elena.  He tells her that he will find out who she really is and then he will send her to prison, he tells her that he will make sure that the babies will never know what a lying piece of garbage she is.

Elena looks at the ring and puts in back in the box, she leaves the house.  Christopher stops her, he tells her that he loves her and that they wasted too long not being together.  He tells her that he will be a father to his children, but he and Rebecca are over, he gives her the ring back telling her that it was always hers/
Sue Ellen gives a speech to all her supporters.  

John Ross is waiting for Elena in the offices, he hears something and thinks it’s her, he turns and sees her mother coming, she hands him the ring back.

Rebecca goes to the hanger, she thanks Frank for helping her, he tells her that she messed up.  He tells her that they are right back to where they started.  She tells him that she knows that she screwed up, he tells her that she needs to explain it to her father, she turns to the plane and Cliff Barnes comes out.  He tells her that she is just like her Aunt Pamela, he could never trust her with the Ewing’s and he can’t trust her either.  He hold out her rings, and says that she would have put them back on if he hadn’t bought them from the pawn shop.  She tells him that she just got lost , and that she did it all for him.  Cliff tells her that he knows, and that’s why he is cleaning things up and giving her a second chance to make him proud.  He tells her to get a piece of Ewing Energies, so they can put the Ewing’s down for good.  He tells Frank to take  care of her because once the Ewing’s find out, then there will be a fire storm.  He reminds her not to lose focus, and she tells him she won’t.  She tells him that Christopher threatened to take the babies.  Cliff goes back into the plane, and Frank asks her what their next move is.

Elena and Christoper go to a hotel and make love.

John Ross is at the office building, JR joins him.  John Ross tells him that if he wants in on Ewing Energies then he needs to teach him the oil business and all the dirty tricks that he knows, and when he takes the company from Christoper and Elena then will cut him in, but if he screws him, he’ll make sure that he doesn’t get a dime of the money from the oil from Southfork, and he will put him back in the rest home.  JR tells him that now he really is his son.

Final Thoughts:  I really don't like Christopher, I felt so bad for John Ross, I like that they made him totally like JR, but with a lot of his qualities.  I can't wait to start the second season.  I love the twist of Rebecca really being Cliff's daughter.  I also really like that they will be having the new company in the old Ewing Oil building.

Christopher, John Ross and Elena talk about how Ewing Oil could have been if Jock hadn’t pitted JR and Bobby against each other.  Christopher says that it doesn’t have to be that way anymore, he suggests that they partner up.  They go to Bobby and tell him about they are going into business together, with Elena as a partner.  Christopher tells him that the difference between the old Ewing Oil and Ewing Energies, will be that he and John Ross will be equal partners and there will be no need to fight for who will be on top.  Bobby asks how this happened, and Christopher tells him that he realized that wile gas hydrates are the future, it will take time and money, so if they used the new technology to drill oil that John Ross and Elena came up with they will bank roll his gas hydrate plans till it is ready.  Christopher tells Bobby that he will also be an equal partner, Bobby asks him about JR, he tells him that he will get the profits from the oil but nothing more.  Bobby tells them that he hopes that it will work, because they are a lot smarter than he and JR were.  He tells them both to keep an eye on each other, and tells Elena to keep both her eyes on the two of them.  

JR looks at a photo of Miss Ellie and signs the deed over to Bobby, he goes to his room, he places the deed on the bed, and Bobby wakes up, he looks at the deed, and tells JR that he still isn’t off the hook for how he got Southfork in the first place.  JR smiles and tells him that if he dies then he will get it back.  

Rebecca answers her phone, it’s Tommy he asks her if she got the passkey, she tells him that she won’t do it.  He tells her that she owes him, she says no and hangs up on him.  She goes to the bank and takes out a safety deposit box and removes a gun.  

Tommy is waiting at a bar, Frank walks in and tells Tommy that his services are no longer required and walks out.

Bobby gets a call from his lawyer, he tells him that they got a lead on the woman claiming to be Marta Del Sol, he tells him that they may get the information that will link JR to her and the Venezuelans, he asks Bobby if he is ready to send JR to jail.  Bobby tells him to tell him what he finds.  Bobby has another attack, and the ambulance takes him to the hospital.

Tommy goes to Rebecca’s and hits her.  He tells her that he was fine till she came along, he tells her that he did everything she asked.  Tommy pushes her to the bed, they struggle and she gets away, she dumps out the stuff from her purse and points the gun at him.  Tommy tries to take it from her, there is a struggle for the gun and it goes off.
 
Final Thoughts:  This ended with a great cliffhanger, who was shot, Tommy or Rebecca?  I noticed the cars in the show, and wondered why no one had the custom license plate Ewing and the number, but I finally noticed that John Ross has it.  I'm glad that they kept with from the original show, I would think that all the cars would be like that.

Bobby's lawyer tell him that it's true that unless he gets the oil he can take South Fork.  Bobby says that they are criminals and they probably killed Marta, his lawyer says that's probably true but until they have proof they are criminals that have a valid claim to the ranch.  Bobby says that this is the big break that they needed they know who JR's investors were, and they know Marta's real name and that there has to be link them to the fraud.  The lawyer his investigators are working on it.  Christopher ask how to JR could do this to his own family.  Bobby tell him that ever since Miss Ellie gave him the ranch JR has been desperate to get it for himself.  Bobby asks the lawyer if they can go to the US Attorney he says that the Vicente must not have a clean record.

He asked if it was Vicente's`s men. John Ross nods. He tell them that they told him that if he doesn't get his oil that they would kill him, just like Marta.  He asks John Ross why he hasn't told the police, he told Christopher that he's already put the family through enough.  Christopher ask him what he's not telling him, he says that there's gotta be a way to prove that he didn't do this.  John Ross tells Christopher that the day you went to see Marta she taped it.  He tells him that they stole the camera.  Vicente is now threatening to use it against him.

She says there aren't.

Rebecca is reading the report when Tommy come then, she asks what part of get the hell out does he not understand.  He says he knows his act with an was convincing what did she really think that he was gone for good.  She says that she meant what she said and wants him gone.  Rebecca says she's pregnant and she needs to make a relationship with Christopher work.  He tells her he needs more than a couple rings especially now, she asked what he means.  Tommy tells her that Exxon came to talk to Christopher.  He tells her he's got a buyer that doesn't care about rights or patents he wants the plans.  Tommy says they're going to have to renegotiate, he grabs and kisses her and ask her if she so deep in the lie at she still believe that there brother and sister.  He told her she doesn't steal the technology that he will tell Christopher everything.
