Previously on DALLAS:
-------------------Courtney and Christopher returned from California and told the family of their plans to seek custody of Courtney's son.
-------------------Lucy's depression over never being able to have children deepened, causing Ann to be concerned.
-------------------Jill joined Ewing Oil.
-------------------Todd Baxter returned to Dallas after taking a job as an assistant district attorney.
-------------------Brad's secretary Brenda alerted John Ross to a meeting between Brad and Tripp McKay.
-------------------On John Ross's orders, Shawn spent the day with Tripp and spied on his brother, learning of Tripp's alliance with Cliff Barnes and Brad Stone.
Southfork....morning
John Ross's cell phone vibrates on the table beside his and Krystina's bed, waking him. He looks over and sees that Krystina is still asleep. Reaching over and picking up the phone, he sees that he has a text from Shawn: 'if possible, i need to talk to you before school. I have some information about what my brother is up to.'
John Ross puts his phone down on the table again and sighs, anxious to find out what information Shawn has learned about his brother's activities.
A road on Southfork....short time later....
John Ross is standing beside his parked car on a dirt road which separates two pastures at Southfork a little while later that morning. As he waits, Shawn's car pulls onto the little dirt road and drives up to him, coming to a stop in front of John Ross's car. Shawn gets out of his car and walks over to John Ross.
"I hope you got somethin' good for me," says John Ross. "Especially as early as you woke me up this mornin' and then kept me waitin'."
"I was like two minutes late," Shawn says. "I have to drive all the way from Dallas and you live right up the road here."
"Just get on with it," says an impatient John Ross. "What information do you have for me?"
"I spent all day Saturday with my brother, and slept over at his place Saturday night. And, Saturday afternoon, he called Cliff Barnes and set up a meeting at Tripp's apartment for last night."
"You know what that meetin' was about?" John Ross asks.
"No. Tripp made sure he got rid of me before 7 o'clock last night, the time they set for their meeting. But, I did hear his half of the phone conversation with old man Barnes, and it was about Ewing Oil, and the Ewings."
"And what was said?"
"My brother has a spy in your company," replies Shawn. "Someone he planted there to steal information for him. So you might wanna check on all your recent hires and find out whether they're really loyal to you......or to Tripp."
"Is that all he said? That he had a spy in my comp'ny?"
"I also heard him tell Barnes that, soon, they'd have enough information to take the Ewings down. And, I also know that Brad Stone is part of this scheme, too."
John Ross nods. "Thank ya, Shawn. You did well, and you'll be amply rewarded."
"That's not all," Shawn says. He walks over to his car, reaches into the passenger window and pulls out a key from his cup holder. He turns around with the key, which he holds out to John Ross.
"What's that?" John Ross asks.
"A key," Shawn replies. "Spare key to my brother's office at Westar. I talked him into giving me a private tour of his company yesterday while the office was closed, and since I'm in school all week. I told him I was soooo interested in the oil business. I lifted this key from his ring later, when he told me he had two."
John Ross takes the key and looks at it. "You did good, Shawn," he says. "I really appreciate this. Now, I got a real important job for you to do."
"Just name it, John Ross."
"I'll be in touch later about that. Now you better get to school. You don't wanna be late."
"Alright," Shawn says. "I'll talk to you later, then." Shawn walks back to his car and gets in. John Ross watches as he drives away.
Ewing Oil....later
Sue Ellen is in the break room at Ewing Oil later that morning pouring herself a cup of coffee when Jill walks by the door. Spotting Sue Ellen, she stops and walks into the room. "Sue Ellen?" She says.
Sue Ellen turns to face her. "Oh. Morning, Jill."
"Good morning."
"You getting settled into your new office?"
"I'm working on it. I didn't realize how much stuff I wanted to bring to work with me."
Sue Ellen manages a slight smile at the younger woman, then walks past her and starts to leave.
"Sue Ellen, wait," Jill says.
Sue Ellen stops in the doorway, and turns back to her. "Yes?"
"I get the feeling that you're the only one who's not happy about my being here at Ewing Oil. I'd like to know why."
Sue Ellen walks over to the table and takes a seat on one of the stools. "Why would you even think that?"
"The way you're acting," Jill says. "Sue Ellen, look, I know that you've never liked me and never considered me a part of the family."
"You're John Ross's half-sister," Sue Ellen says. "Of course you're part of the family."
"You don't really mean that. Sue Ellen, come on. As long as we're going to be working here together, we should get everything out in the open."
"Jill, there is nothing to get out into the open. John Ross invited you to become a part of the family company. Bobby and Christopher obviously agreed with him, and now here you are. So let's just leave it at that, shall we?"
"I'd rather not," Jill says. "Sue Ellen, I know that you have never gotten over my mom's affair with J.R......."
"Of which you are a living, breathing, and walking reminder," Sue Ellen says.
"Well there's not a whole lot I can do about that, now is there?" Jill asks.
"No, I suppose not," Sue Ellen says.
"Look, as long as we're both gonna be working here together, we should at least make an attempt to get along."
Sue Ellen looks at her for a couple of seconds. "Yes, you're absolutely right. You and I will get along just fine.......if you stay out of my way." Sue Ellen turns and walks out of the room.
"Wow," Jill says to herself. She walks to the refrigerator, opens it, and takes out a small bottle of juice. She then walks out of the break room and back to her new office. As she begins unpacking a box on her desk, John Ross walks by her open door and peaks in. He knocks lightly. "John Ross, come in," Jill says.
"Hey, how's it goin'?" John Ross asks.
"Just fine," Jill replies.
"I just saw you and Mama both come outta the break room. Neither one of you looked real happy. She givin' you a hard time?"
"No. I do think my presence here bothers her, and probably always will. Every time Sue Ellen sees me, she's reminded of J.R.'s affair with my mother. And I don't blame her for that."
"Jill, if you want me to talk to her......"
"No, I don't. It'll be fine. Hey, maybe in time, after I've been here a while and we've had a chance to work together, Sue Ellen and I can become BFFs."
John Ross smiles. "Well, I don't see that ever happ'nin, but, would be nice."
"Yes, it would," says Jill.
"Well, welcome to your first day at Ewing Oil," John Ross says. "Any questions, just come to me, Christopher, or Uncle Bobby."
"Not your Mom?" Jill asks with a sly smile.
"Prob'ly not the best idea right now. I'll talk to you soon."
"Sure," Jill says as John Ross walks out.
Upon leaving Jill's office, John Ross walks over to Courtney's desk. "Courtney, I need ya to do somethin' for me."
"Sure, John Ross, what is it?" Courtney asks.
"Pull the personnel files. Specifically the files of all the recent hires."
"Okay, how recent?"
"Specifically, the last couple weeks. I may need to go back a little further, but if I do, I'll let you know. And, I need those ASAP."
"Sure, John Ross, I'll get those files for you right away."
"Thanks," John Ross says. "I'll be in my office."
As John Ross heads to his office, Courtney walks over to the file cabinet containing all of Ewing Oil's personnel files. Taking a key from her pocket, she unlocks the cabinet, opens it, and searches for the file containing Ewing Oil's recent hires.
The Hot Biscuit Restaurant....
Ray and Heath Allen walk into a restaurant on the Dallas-Braddock County line later that morning and take seats at a booth by the window.
"Glad you decided to join me for a late breakfast this mornin'," Ray says.
"Well, I had to eat."
Ray laughs. "Yeah, don't we all. This place has changed a lot. This is the first time I been here in a lotta years."
"Oh, you use to come here?" Heath asks.
"Sure did. Use to come here pretty often, long time ago. It was a lot different then."
A waitress walks over to their table. "Are you guys ready to order?" The young waitress asks.
"I am," Ray says. "Heath?"
"Yeah, uh, I'll just have a burger and fries."
"Lunch doesn't start for another forty-five minutes," the waitress says. "Sorry."
"Oh, ummm, okay. Then I'll have a sausage biscuit and hashbrowns."
"And to drink?"
"Coffee."
"And you, sir?" The waitress asks Ray.
"I'll have the same, along with a bowl of grits," Ray replies.
"Coming right up," the waitress says, taking both their menus. She smiles then walks away, Heath watching the lovely young woman as she goes.
"She's quite a looker, huh?" Ray asks.
"Oh yeah. So how long do you think it's gonna be before we get the results of that DNA test?" Heath asks.
"Well, they told us when we took the test we could get the results in 7-10 days."
"So......another day or so," Heath says.
"Yeah. You sound like you're in a big hurry to get those results."
"Well aren't you? You were the one so anxious to take that damned test. I just wanna get this damned thing over with so I can move on."
"Move on?"
"That's right," Heath says. "Once we get the results of that test, no reason for me to stick around Dallas."
"I was kinda hopin' that.......well, I mean, if the test proves that I'm your father......"
"What?" Heath asks. "You think even if you're my father, I'm gonna stick around here? Put down some roots?"
"Would that be so bad?" Ray asks. "Puttin' down some roots here in Dallas? It's a real nice town."
"I'm just not the puttin' down roots type," says Heath. "Prob'ly never will be. I just wanna get this whole thing over with so I can move on."
Ray looks at Heath, a disappointed expression on his face.
Ewing Oil....
John Ross is working at his desk when someone knocks on the door. "Come in," he says.
Courtney walks into the office. "John Ross, here are the personnel files you wanted."
"Thank ya, darlin'."
"And, if you need anymore, from further back, just let me know."
"I will, thanks again," John Ross says. "Oh, and have Christopher step into my office."
"Sure thing, John Ross," Courtney says, then walks out. Going over to Christopher's office, she knocks, then walks in. "Christopher?"
"Hey, what's up?"
"John Ross wants to see you in his office, and it sounds important."
"Okay, thanks," Christopher says. A moment later, he walks into his cousin's office. "John Ross. Courtney said you needed to see me."
"Yeah. We got a problem, Christopher," John Ross says, getting up from his seat and walking to his bar.
"What.......kind of problem?"
John Ross pours two glasses of bourbon, then hands one to Christopher. "We got a spy in the comp'ny."
"A spy? John Ross, what are you talking about?" Christopher asks.
"A spy has been planted in this comp'ny by Tripp McKay, Brad Stone, and Cliff Barnes."
"Wait, how do you know this?"
"I have someone doin' a little spy work for me."
"Spy work?"
"Yeah. Spyin' on McKay ever since he got put in that CEO chair at Westar," says John Ross. "And it's a damn good thing I did, or else we wouldn't have this information."
"Do you know who the spy is?" Christopher asks.
"Nope, that's why I need your help. I had Courtney pull all the personnel files of our recent hires. We need to go through those files, and find our spy."
"John Ross, that's gonna be next to impossible to find that spy just by going through personnel files," Christopher says.
"Not really. We go through these files and we do extensive background checks on every one of 'em."
"We already did that before they were hired."
"Christopher, you know as well as I do how lax those pre-employment background checks are. I say we put Bum on it. If anybody can find out who this spy is, Bum can."
"Good idea," says Christopher. "John Ross, you said that you have your own spy working for you to find information on Tripp McKay? Who might that be?"
John Ross looks at his cousin for a moment. "That's not somethin' you need to know right now."
"John Ross......"
"Look, it's not that I don't trust ya. I just prefer to keep the identity of my spy under wraps for now. Now what I need for you to do is......" John Ross walks to his desk and picks up some of the files Courtney gave him. "Go through this half of these personnel files. Go through each name carefully. We may even need to personally interview all our new hires from the last month or so. Then, we check each one out carefully. May even need to have 'em tailed to find out who they meet with, who they talk to, who their acquaintances are."
"Sounds like a reasonable plan," Christopher says, taking the files. "I'll start right now." He walks to the door and starts to leave.
"And Christopher......" John Ross says.
Christopher stops at the door and turns back to him.
"Let's keep this between us for now," John Ross says. "I don't wanna worry Mama or Uncle Bobby with this until we come up with somethin'. So, this stays between us."
"And what about Jill?"
"Like I said, cousin.......this stays between the two of us."
Christopher nods, then walks out.
Braddock High School....afternoon
Alex is coming down the hallway at Braddock High School that afternoon on his way to his last class of the day when he sees Shawn at his locker. Alex pauses for a moment as he watches his best friend take his gym clothes from the locker. Alex walks up to him.
"Hey man," Alex says.
"Oh, Alex, hey."
"Dude, what was that whole thing all about last night?"
Shawn closes his locker and turns to Alex. "I don't know what you mean," he says.
"Why were you in such a hurry to leave Southfork last night?" Alex asks.
"Told you. My Mom wanted me home."
"Come on, bro. Don't lie to me, I'm your best friend. Your Mom never cared about you being home on a school night before, so why now, all of a sudden?"
"Y'know, I wondered that same thing," Shawn says. "So I asked her, and she just said that I needed to spend more time at home during the week on school nights. That's all. I'm in the running for that track scholarship, so I need to crack down on the books and keep my grades up. Don't wanna blow it."
"And that's the truth?"
"Yeah. Dude, like you said.....we're best friends. I wouldn't have any reason to lie to my best friend."
"Well, I mean, I was just a little worried when you got that text and you suddenly blew outta there so fast. I thought something was wrong."
Shawn looks at him for a second. "Nah, bro. Nothin's wrong. If it were, you'd be the first person I'd tell. Well, look, I gotta get to gym class, so, I better go."
"Yeah, I have Mrs. Griffin's Geography class, too, so, I'll see you after school?"
"Umm, not today, I got track. But, tomorrow, after school we'll hang out?"
"Sounds good, bro. Later."
"Yeah, later," Shawn says as Alex walks away. Shawn watches his friend as he heads down the hallway for a few seconds, feeling slightly guilty for lying to his best friend, but also realizing that if he wanted to continue spying for John Ross and getting paid big bucks, he had to keep his connection to Alex's father a secret.
Perry's Steakhouse And Grille....evening
Afton and Pamela are sitting at a table at Perry's that evening for dinner. As Pamela nibbles on a salad, Afton checks her watch. She sighs deeply in frustration. "I don't know what could be keeping your father," she says. "Cliff said that he would be here by 7 o'clock."
"Well, you know how Daddy is."
"Yes, I do. Pamela, are you okay?"
"Mom, that is the FIFTH time you've asked me that in the past couple of hours," Pamela says.
"I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you."
"Well, to answer your question.....no, I'm NOT alright at all. I'm pregnant by the man who raped me, who is dead, and my husband left me because I refused to abort this child. So how could I possibly be alright?"
"Darling, everything is going to work out. Somehow. I know it will," Afton says as Cliff and Brad walk over to their table.
"Well, here we are," Cliff says as they take their seats. "Sorry we're late, but there was some accident on the Central Expressway, and we were stuck in a traffic jam."
"Couldn't you have called?" Afton asks.
Cliff looks at her and smiles. "Sorry. I hope you two didn't mind that I asked Brad to join us.
Afton looks at Brad, who smiles across the table at her. "No, of course not," she says, her tone sounding insincere.
"After all, this is supposed to be a family dinner, and Brad is family. And I thought this would give my son and my daughter a chance to get to know one another better."
"Pamela, how are you?" Brad asks.
"I'm okay. It's just been a rough time."
"I'm sorry. And if there's anything at all I can do, please, don't hesitate to let me know."
"Thank you, Brad, that really means a lot. I appreciate it," Pamela says.
"You're more than welcome," says Brad.
"Well, this is great," Cliff says. "I know that, because there's been a lot going on in both your lives these last several months, the two of you haven't had a chance to really get to know each other. But I'm hoping that will change now. Brad, you're my son, and Pamela is my daughter. I'd like nothing better than for the two of you to become close. I only wish Emma were here."
"Emma isn't speaking to you these days, remember?" Pamela says sarcastically.
"Why is Emma so angry with you, anyway?" Brad asks.
"Well, Emma lived with the Ewings for a long time, and I'm sure that they, and that mother of hers poisoned her mind against me, the way they tried to do with Pamela."
At that moment, Pamela looks up and sees Tripp walk into the restaurant with a beautiful young woman.
"Pamela, what is it?" Afton asks.
"Guess who just walked in," Pamela replies.
Afton, Cliff, and Brad look over and see Tripp with the young woman. "Sweety, do you wanna go someplace else and eat?" Afton asks.
"No, Mom, actually, I've lost my appetite. I'd like to just go home."
"Sure, Pamela."
"Brad, I'm REALLY sorry," Pamela says.
"No, no apologies necessary, Pamela. I understand," Brad says.
"You want me to come with you?" Cliff asks as Pamela and Afton get up from the table.
"No, Cliff, you stay and enjoy your dinner," Afton replies.
"Brad, we'll try this again another time," Pamela says.
"Yeah, you bet."
"Cliff, I think I'm gonna stay with her tonight," Afton says.
"Yeah, okay."
Pamela watches as Tripp and the young woman he's with take their seats across the room, Tripp never seeing them. Tripp and the young woman appear to be having a good time, smiling and chatting as they take their seats. Pamela sights back tears, then the two women walk out of the restaurant.
Meanwhile....Westar....
The door opens to the offices of Westar Oil that night and a dark figure moves slowly and carefully through the darkened and empty reception area. Looking around, the person walks over to Tripp's closed office door. Taking a key from his pocket, a glloved hand unlocks Tripp's door, opens it slowly, and walks in. After looking around, he walks over to
Tripp's file cabinet. The person is Bum. He tries to open the file cabinet, but finds it locked. He then goes over to Tripp's desk and opens it, searching through some files using a small flashlight. Finding a couple files interesting, Bum takes some photos using a small camera. Once he's finished taking photos of several files, he walks over to a lamp near Tripp's desk. Taking off the lamp shade, Bum places a tiny bugging device on top of the lamp, then replaces the shade. Next, he takes the receiver of Tripp's phone on his desk. He quickly takes the receiver apart and places a bugging device inside, then puts the phone back together. Bum quickly makes a hasty retreat from the office, locking the door behind him as he leaves.
Southfork....the next morning
Bobby and Ann are leaving their bedroom the next morning to head downstairs to breakfast when the phone in the bedroom rings. Ann walks back into the bedroom and picks the phone up. "Hello?" She says. "Emma, hi."
Bobby smiles when he hears that Ann is on the phone with her daughter, then he heads on downstairs. He walks into the dining room, where Lucas, Heather, Michael, and Lucy seated at the table. "Morning," he says, walking in.
"Morning," says Lucas.
"Where's Ann?" Heather asks.
"As we were about to come down for breakfast, she got a call from Emma, so she's on the phone."
"Mornin', fam'ly," John Ross says as he and Krystina walk in and take their seats.
"John Ross," Bobby says.
"Michael, honey, hurry up or you'll be late for school," Heather tells her son.
"Lucy, you wanna go into town today?" Krystina asks. "Do a little shopping and have lunch?"
"Thanks, Krystina, but, I have a few things I need to take care of today, so, another time."
"Okay, yeah, sure," Krystina says.
Ann enters the dining room and takes her seat.
"Everything alright with Emma?" Bobby asks.
"Well, she is gettin' close to her time. Bobby, I'm gonna need to fly out there and be with her."
"Yes, of course. You want me to come with you?"
"I would love for you to, but that's not necessary."
"Uncle Bobby if you'd like to go with Ann out to be with Emma when she has her baby, everything'll be fine here. Ewing Oil will be in good hands."
Bobby looks at Ann. "Well, then, in that case, I can't think of a single reason why I shouldn't go with ya to California."
Ann smiles. "Good, because I'd really like that."
"Hard to believe Emma's about to become a mother," says John Ross. "I sure never would've imagined that, would you, Lucas? Funny thing is, if you and Emma hadn't broken up when ya did, that might be your baby she's about to give birth to."
John Ross's comment causes a number of different reactions around the Ewing dining table......sadness from Lucy; an angry look from Lucas; and a look of concern from Ann, the only person who knows the truth about Lucas being the father of Emma's baby.
The Krebbs Ranch....
Conner and Dylan walk into the Krebbs kitchen that morning as Donna pours Ray a cup of coffee.
"Morning, guys," Donna says.
"Hey," says Dylan.
"Good morning," Conner says, taking a seat at the table.
"How about some sausage and hashbrowns?" Donna asks.
"Sounds great," Conner replies. "So, Donna, today's the big day, huh? The day you officially take over as Texas Railroad Commissioner. How's it feel?"
Donna lets out a laugh. "It feels nerve wracking."
"Why so nervous?" Dylan asks. "You've been in public service for years."
"Yes. But, this time I am in charge of oil drilling, and a variety of other important issues."
Ray smiles. "Not afraid you're gonna have to come up against Ewing Oil at some point, now, are ya?"
"It could happen. But, I've already talked to Bobby about it, and, he said that he has full confidence that, when the time comes, I'll do the right and ethical thing, as he put it."
Ray reaches over and takes his wife's hand. "Bobby's right. I know you won't let your relationship with the Ewings get in the way of you doin' your job. Matt and the governor know that, or else they wouldn't have asked ya to take this job as Railroad Commissioner."
"And they made a great choice," Conner says.
"Dylan, you gonna be seein' your brother Todd today?" Ray asks.
"Yeah, I'm havin' lunch with him today," Dylan replies.
"I'll bet Todd's really excited about starting his new job in the D.A.'s office," says Conner.
Ray and Donna exchange looks of surprise. "What's that?" Ray asks.
"Todd is working in the D.A.'s office?" Donna asks.
"Yeah," Dylan replies. "He told me when he came out here the other day. He applied for a job as an assistant district attorney and he got it. He started this week."
"Well, that's great," Ray says with a smile. The doorbell rings at that moment.
"I'll get it," Conner says. He gets up from the table and goes into the foyer to answer the door.
"These sausages are real good," Ray says.
"Thank you."
"The seasoning, I know that taste from somewhere."
"You should. I use to make the seasoning I dip the sausage in for you years ago, during our first marriage. Miss Ellie gave me the recipe."
"I knew I remembered this seasoning from somewhere," Ray says as Conner returns holding a letter. "Who was at the door?" Ray asks.
"It was a messenger," replies Conner. "This came for you." He hands the letter to Ray.
He takes the letter and looks at it, then rips it open. Taking the letter from the envelope, he reads it, a strange look coming over his face.
"Ray, what is it?" Donna asks.
"Results of the paternity test."
"And? What does it say?"
Ray looks at his wife for a moment. "It's positive, Donna. Heath Allen is my son."
Donna sighs. "I see. So, you were right."
"Look, I have to go," Ray says. "I have to go go over and see Heath. He should be gettin' a copy of these results, too. I'll see you when you get back from Austin tonight."
"Yeah, sure," Donna says as Ray kisses her. Ray quickly gets up from the table and leaves.
"You okay, Donna?" Conner asks.
"Just fine," Donna replies, unconvincingly. "Well, I had better get to the airport. I have a plane to catch. I'll see you both this evening," she says, getting up from the table.
As Donna leaves, Conner and Dylan exchange worried looks, both of them concerned that this news would change the Krebbs family forever.
Westar....later
As Tripp is working at his desk a short time later that morning, his secretary buzzes his office. "Mr. McKay, Cliff Barnes is here to see you."
"Thank you. Send him in," Tripp says, standing to his feet.
Cliff walks into the office. "Hello, Tripp."
"Cliff, what can I do for you?" Tripp asks, walking to his bar. "Have a drink?"
"Sure, I'll have one. Scotch on the rocks."
Tripp begins to fix two drinks. "So why are you here? Did we have a meeting I forgot about?"
"No, we didn't."
Tripp pours Cliff's drink after placing ice in the glass, then hands it to him.
"Thank you," Cliff says. "I'm here to talk to you about my daughter."
"Cliff, look, I really don't wanna talk about Pamela right now."
"Well, I'm afraid you're gonna have to, son," says Cliff. "We saw you last night at Perry's. When you were with a very attractive young woman."
"WE?" Tripp asks.
"Yes, WE," replies Cliff. "Afton, Brad, myself, and Pamela. We were having dinner at Perry's and in you walk with a girl who looks like she could be last year's Miss Texas."
"Not that it's any of your business or that I owe you an explanation, Cliff, but that was Samantha Rogers, a business associate."
"Samantha Rogers?"
"Yes. Rogers Oil out of Fort Worth. Samantha's father had to retire due to health issues and he left her the company. Westar just struck a deal with Rogers Oil."
"Oh," Cliff says.
"You said Pamela saw us?" Tripp asks. "How is she?"
"How do ya think she is?" Cliff asks. "Her husband left her pregnant, and she was plenty upset at seeing you out with that girl last night."
"Explain for me that it was just business."
"No, YOU should be the one to do that. You should talk to her, Tripp. Pamela is pregnant....."
"But not with my child," Tripp says.
"I know that. But should that really matter if you love her? Tripp, she NEEDS you right now. She needs your love and your support and what does she get? Your cold shoulder."
"Damn it, Cliff. I have done nothing but think about this in the weeks since I moved out of the apartment. And as much as I love your daughter, I don't know if I can live with this. She's carrying the child of the man who RAPED her and tried to kill me."
"I know, I was there that night, remember?"
"If she would only do the right thing and......" Tripp stops short and takes a sip of his drink.
"And what? Abort her baby?" Cliff asks. "Tripp, I pushed Pamela to have an abortion when I first found out, too, and she refused. I didn't understand it then, but I do now. You weren't here four years ago when Pamela lost her twins in that rig explosion. That nearly killed her then, and now, it nearly kills ME. And ya know why? Because Pamela losing those twins was MY fault. I caused that at a time when I was sick and twisted, and I will have to live with that for the rest of my life."
"Cliff I know all that."
"No, ya don't. You know the story of what happened, but you don't know what Pamela went through when she lost those twins. And to ask her to get rid of this baby, no matter who the father is, is just......wrong. Tripp, I know you love my daughter. But I think now is the time you have to decide how much you love her, and if you love her enough to live with this pregnancy." Cliff puts his glass down, then walks to the door. He pauses a moment and turns back to Tripp. "I'll be in touch about our plan to take on the Ewings," he says, then leaves.
Tripp finishes off his drink with a final sip as he thinks about what Cliff just said, and about whether or not he can accept this child Pamela is carrying.
A hotel in Dallas....
"Come in," Heath says, welcoming Ray into his room at the Holiday Inn.
Ray walks into the room and looks at the younger man. "You shaved."
"Just a trim."
"You get a copy of the DNA results?" Ray asks.
"Oh yeah. Sure did," Heath replies, holding up his crumpled copy of the test results. "I guess it's official. For once, ol' Peyton Allen told the damned truth."
"And how do you feel about that?" Ray asks.
"How'm I s'posed to feel?" Heath asks. "At least now I know I don't have that piece of scum Peyton's blood coursin' through my veins."
"Heath, for what it's worth, I'm happy about this. I was hopin' for these results."
"Why? Because you always wanted a son like me?"
Ray smiles. "Well, I won't lie. I always have wanted a son."
"Well I bet you were hopin' for somethin' a little better'n me."
"Now what is that supposed to mean?" Ray asks.
"Just look at you," says Heath. "You're rich. Drive a nice truck. Got a big ranch. Your daughter's married to a Senator. And here you end up with a nobody like me for a son."
"Heath, you just stop that right now. You're a fine young man. Nothin' wrong with you at all. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was another young man who thought of himself as a nobody. He was just a lowly ranch hand with no fam'ly to speak of except an aunt back in his hometown and a father who was the town drunk. He never thought he'd amount to anything. Then one day he found out the town drunk wasn't really his father. His reaal father was a rich, powerful oil man. The man who owned the ranch the young man worked on. When he first found out he was this man's son, and the half-brother of the man's other sons, he still didn't feel good enough. Felt like he had to compete with his brothers, and every time he tried, he fell flat on his face. It took him a long time to finally realize he didn't have to compete. He was good enough all along, and his real father accepted him for who he was."
"Is there a point to this story?" Heath asks.
"There sure is. That young man who never thought he was good enough.......was me. I was just a couple years younger than you are now when I found out that Jock Ewing was my father. Heath, the point I'm tryin' to make is that.......don't you ever feel like you're not good enough, because you are. Look, I know you said you wanted to move on after this. But I hope you'll change your mind. I'd really like to get to know you better, and I'd like you to get to know the rest of the fam'ly. So what are your plans?"
"Right now, I have no idea."
"Hey, have ya had breakfast? If not, we could go grab a bite. I didn't get to finish my breakfast at home, so......"
"No, thanks," Heath says. "Right now, I'd kinda like to be by myself for a while."
"Sure, I understand," Ray says. "I'll get outta here." He walks to the door, then looks back. "Heath, just so you know, you always have a home at my place. Call me soon." Ray walks out.
The Cattlemen's Club.....afternoon
Todd and Dylan are having lunch at The Cattlemen's Club early that afternoon.
"Todd, I can't believe it," Dylan says. "Just look at you. New haircut. Suit and tie. My big brother is starting to look real professional these days."
Todd laughs. "Well, that's the whole idea, little brother. After all, I couldn't start my new job as an assistant district attorney looking as scruffy as I was. And look at you. You seem happy, Dylan."
"I am happy, Todd. Living with Ray, Donna, and Conner has been good for me."
"I'm glad. We're both doing a whole lot better than either of us were just a couple years ago. The Baxter brothers have come a long way."
"Yeah, and all it took was getting away from our crazy family," Dylan says.
Todd smiles. "Yeah," he says. "Speaking of which, you really should stop by and see Mom sometime, and Grandma. You know, Grandma really isn't doing well at all."
"Yeah, that's what Mom told me last time I talked to her. Said Grandma really doesn't even know anyone anymore."
"No," Todd says sadly. "She doesn't even know Mom or Uncle David. It's really hard seeing her like that."
"I'd like to go see her, Todd, but, I'm not sure I could take seeing Grandma like that."
"I understand that, Dylan, but, you could at least go see our mother once in a while. I know you love living with the Krebbs family, but, you can't just forget the other side of your family, even if there's a lot of pain there. By the way, I went to see Dad yesterday at the prison. He asked about you. He, uh, I think he'd like for you to come see him."
Dylan shakes his head. "Not gonna happen."
"Dylan....."
"I'm sorry, Todd. John Baxter is YOUR father, not mine. He murdered my real father, remember?"
"I know," Todd says sadly. "But Dad did raise you, Dylan."
"I don't care. The man gave me a roof over my head and food. But never love. And I hate him for what he did. Not only for killing Jack Ewing, but for what he did to Mom and to you. He's the one who turned Mom the way she is."
"Mom wasn't exactly innocent either, Dylan. The whole family. The Smithfield family. Always so worried about appearances and what everyone thought. Always striving to be perfect. That's why I lived in terror of coming out as gay. I was afraid I'd be banished from the kingdom. And I basically was. Even now, Mom barely speaks to me and Uncle David can't look me in the eye. And I have no idea if it's because I'm gay, or because I happen to be John Baxter's son." Todd's cell phone rings at that moment. He picks the phone up from the table beside his lunch plate and looks at it. "Little brother, excuse me, I have to take this," he says. "It's work."
"Okay, sure."
"I'll be RIGHT back," Todd says, getting up from the table and rushing out.
Right after Todd leaves, a waitress comes over. "Can I get you anything else?" She asks.
"Umm, yeah, actually, you can," Dylan says. "Could I get a glass of bourbon real fast?"
"Are you 21?"
"I sure am," Dylan replies. "Here's my I.D." Dylan pulls out his wallet, opens it, and shows the waitress his license.
The waitress smiles. "Coming right up."
"And could you make that fast?" Dylan asks. The waitress smiles and walks away.
At that moment, Jill and Justin, in his wheelchair, come over to Dylan's table. "Dylan," Jill says, startling the young man.
"Oh, hi, ummm, Jill. Justin," Dylan says nervously.
"How are you?" Jill asks.
"Just fine. I'm here having lunch with my brother Todd. He stepped out to take a phone call. Justin, how ya doing?"
"I'm doing okay for someone living in a wheelchair. How about you, man?"
"Great. I'm just great," Dylan replies as the waitress brings his glass of bourbon.
"Here you go. One bourbon," she says, placing the drink on the table in front of him.
"Thanks," Dylan says. Jill and Justin exchange looks as their young cousin takes a sip of his drink.
Todd returns to the table at that moment. The look on his face shows his displeasure at seeing Justin and Jill.
"Todd, Justin and Jill just stopped by to say hi," Dylan tells him.
Todd gives the two a harsh look, then takes his seat across from his brother.
"Todd, how are you?" Jill asks.
"Just fine."
"Jill, we better get to our table," says Justin.
"Yeah, we should. Todd, you should come over for dinner one night and hang out with Jay. I'm sure he'd love that."
"Maybe," Todd says.
"Well, see you both later," Jill says as she and Justin leave.
"Boy, you sure were rude to them," Dylan says.
"Yeah, well...."
"Todd, don't say they're Ewings," Dylan says.
"Not only Ewings, but John Ross's brother and sister," Todd says. "Jill may be married to our cousin Jay, but, she's still John Ross's sister. And as for Justin.....all I can say is, the wrong Ewing is in that wheelchair. Too bad it's not John Ross."
Dylan looks at his brother, then takes a big sip of his drink.
"Wow, talk about a chilly reception from your cousin-in-law," Justin says.
"Yeah, Todd still hates anyone with Ewing blood. Anyone, that is, except his brother Dylan. It's very awkward considering he and Jay are so close. But enough talk about Todd Baxter. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Okay, I'm listenin'."
"It's been a while now since you told me that you can walk. How much longer are you gonna keep up this charade?"
"Soon," Justin replies. "Real soon, sis. I been watchin' Amanda and Jimmy for weeks now, and I think it's time I ended this charade. It's time I finally got my revenge on my cheatin' wife and my backtabbin' nephew."
"Justin, what do you have planned?" Jill asks.
"Think I'm just gonna let that be a surprise, sis," Justin says. "But I will say that neither Jimmy or Amanda will know what hit 'em."
Southfork....
A rumble of thunder can be heard over Southfork and a light rain falls as Ray's truck drives up to the house and comes to a stop. Ray gets out of the truck as another rumble of thunder is heard overhead, and walks to the house.
A moment later, Ray walks into the living room, where he finds Lucy curled up on the couch by the fire place reading. "Lucy," he says.
"Oh, hi, Ray."
"Whatcha Readin'?"
"Great Expectations for about the tenth time."
Ray smiles. "Well, good day for readin' by the fire. Weather's turnin' kinda nasty outside."
"Yeah, I see that," says Lucy.
"Where is everyone?" Ray asks. "House is kinda quiet."
"Well, let's see......Bobby and Ann are on their way to California to be with Emma when she has her baby, Lucas and Heather went to pick Michael up from school, and Krystina went into town. She asked me to come along, I just wasn't in the mood. So what can I do for you?"
"I was kinda hopin' Bobby was here," Ray says. "I called Ewing Oil to talk to him and they said he didn't come in today. I figured he'd be at the ranch."
"Well, Emma called Ann this morning and told her that she would be giving birth soon, like, I guess in the next couple days or so, and Bobby decided to go with her. I guess he wanted to protect her from Katherine Wentworth or something."
Ray laughs. "Yeah, I forgot Katherine Wentworth lives out there now."
"So what'd you wanna talk to Bobby about?" Lucy asks. "Must be important."
"It is, but it'll keep. But, I guess I may as well tell you. The results of the DNA test came back this mornin'. Heath Allen is my son. The test was positive."
A look of sadness comes over Lucy's face. "Congratulations," she says.
"Thank ya."
"I know how happy that makes you. You always wanted a son."
"Yeah. I can't wait for you and the rest of the fam'ly to meet him, Lucy. He's a little rough around the edges, but once ya get to know him, he's a good guy."
"I look forward to meeting him. If he's anything like his biological father, I know he's a good guy."
"You okay, Lucy?" Ray asks. "You seem real down."
"Just been doing a lot of thinking, Ray. About what a waste my life has been."
"Waste? Lucy, what are you talkin' about? Your life hadn't been a waste."
"Hasn't it? Ray, what have I really ever done with my life? What have I accomplished? I never finished college. I was married to the same man twice and that failed both times. I tried modeling, tried managing an art gallery. Hell, I even tried waitressing at a diner in some crazy attempt at 'finding myself.' But here I am, a woman in her mid-50s, alone. No man, no kids." Lucy stops talking as she begins to cry.
Ray walks over, takes a seat in the chair beside the sofa and puts his hand on her shoulder. "That's what's really botherin' you, itn't it? The part about the kids?"
"It's just not fair, Ray. I always wanted a child. Heather and Lucas have Michael. John Ross has two sons. My sister Betsy has two kids. Even Emma Ryland is about to have a baby. And Courtney and Christopher are trying to get her son back from his biological parents. And even you just found out you have a son you never knew about."
Ray sighs. "Lucy, I'm so sorry. I never should've opened my big mouth."
"It's not your fault. It's mine. If I hadn't had that abortion. My child......my son or my daughter......would be 34-years-old now. Every day I wonder what kind of person he or she would've become. What they would be like now. How different everything would be. I feel so empty, Ray."
Getting up from his seat on the chair, Ray takes a seat beside Lucy on the sofa and puts his arm around her. He embraces her as she cries.
A cafe in Braddock....
John Ross walks into a small cafe in downtown Braddock that afternoon and looks around. Spotting Shawn seated at a booth, he walks over to him. "Shawn," he says.
"John Ross, what's up?" Shawn asks. "Why'd you wanna meet me? Got another assignment for me to do?"
John Ross slides into the booth across from him. Taking the key Shawn had given him the
day before, places it on the table, and slides it over to him. "Here's the key you snatched from your brother."
"Cool. Was the key of any use?" Shawn asks.
"Oh yeah," replies John Ross. "That key came in REAL handy. Now, I need ya to replace it before Tripp knows it's gone."
"Okay, I can do that. Anything else?"
"Just keep cozyin' up to your brother. Anything you can get him to tell you about Westar, relay that information to me. In fact, every time you spend any time with McKay, I wanna know what goes on, what he talks about, if anybody calls him and who, and anything else you think might be important to me."
"Consider it done," Shawn says.
John Ross reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a sealed envelope, which he hands to Shawn.
"Thanks," Shawn says. "Y'know, I'm really enjoying working for you, John Ross."
"Yeah, I'll just bet you are for the kinda money I'm payin' you," John Ross says, standing to his feet.
Shawn also stands to face him. "Is there anything else you need for me to do?"
"Just keep doin' what you're doin' and keep it between us. You hadn't mentioned this to Alex, have you?"
"No, of course not. No one knows I'm workin' for you."
"Good, let's keep it that way," John Ross says. "And, be careful and don't let your Mama find that money, or she'll prob'ly start questioning where you got it."
Shawn nods as John Ross turns and walks out. Shawn looks down at the envelope full of money in his hands, then stuffs it into his pocket and smiles.
District Attorney's Office.....Dallas
Dallas's new District Attorney Faith Johnson is seated at her desk when someone knocks on her office door late that afternoon. "Come in," she says.
Todd walks into the office. "You wanted to see me, Mrs. Johnson?"
"Yes, Todd. Come in."
Todd closes the door and walks over to her. "What can I do for you?"
"I have some good news for you, Todd," Faith says. "I'm giving you your first case assignment. I've studied your work as a defense attorney and after speaking with your Uncle David Smithfield, I think you'll do well on this case."
Todd smiles. "Well, thank you, Madam District Attorney," he says. "I really appreciate the vote of confidence."
"You're quite welcome. Your reputation and your family's reputation speaks for itself."
"So what case am I being assigned?" Todd asks.
"The Brittany Ewing murder case," replies the D.A. "The details are all here in this file." She hands him a folder. "No arrests have been made yet in this case, but the police have compiled a list of suspects, and they're working on some new evidence as we speak, so our office needs to be ready to build a case as soon as an arrest is made."
"The Brittany.........Ewing murder case," Todd says, taking the file and opening it. "Interesting."
"Now if you think this case will be too much for you, being your first case as a prosecutor, I can reassign it to someone else."
"No, no, of course not. I can handle this. In fact, I look forward to it."
The D.A, smiles. "Wonderful. And of course Tom Kirkland will be on hand to assist if you need him."
Todd looks down the list of suspects, including the names of John Ross Ewing, Krystina Ewing, and Sue Ellen Ewing. He smiles. "Madam District Attorney, I can't thank you enough for this, and I promise, I won't let you down. Whenever this case comes to trial, I assure you, I'll do everything in my power to get a conviction."
"That's what I like to hear," the D.A. says with a smile.
Todd again looks down at the names of the suspects, his eyes coming to a rest on John Ross Ewing's name. He smiles again, sure that this would be his chance to finally get revenge on John Ross for nearly destroying his life two years ago.
Dallas Police Department....
Detective Steven Jones is working at his desk, looking over some photos and the statements of witnesses interviewed the night Brittany was murdered. Someone knocks at his door. "Yeah, come in," he says.
Another detective walks in. "Steven, this forensics report just came from the lab. It's the report on that knife that hotel manager brought in a few days ago."
"Yeah, the one that could've been used in Brittany Ewing's murder."
"Turns out the blood on the knife was Brittany Ewing's blood."
Steven sighs. "Then, that knife really is the murder weapon."
"Yep. They also tested for fingerprints. There were two sets of prints on the handle of the knife."
"And?" Steven asks.
"One set of prints was only a small smudge. Forensics wasn't able to make a match."
"And the other set?"
"The other set of prints belonged to someone on our suspect list."
"Who, Wes?" Steven asks. "Who does the other set belong to?"
"Take a look for yourself," Wes replies, handing Steven the folder.
Steven takes it and looks at the name. He lets out a deep sigh. "My God," he says. "Sue Ellen Ewing." Steven looks up at his new partner, then looks down again at Sue Ellen's name on the paper he holds in his hand.

Freaking awesome!!!! Hope John Ross brings cliff and his whole bunch down to size. Please keep up the GREAT work
Sara Duckworth (Friday, 24 February 2017 23:47)
EXCELLENT WORK as always!!!! :D :D I can't wait for my mother to read this one. Love Lucy's comment about Katherine. lol I feel sorry for Sue Ellen. Poor woman! Gets framed for JR's shooting and it now seems she is being framed for Brittany. I feel sorry for what this is going to do to Sue Ellen and the family. I'm so glad Cliff confronted Brad. He is being such an insensitive and self absorbed jerk. I'm surprised Cliff suggested abortion to Pamela since the girl Cliff was engaged to lost her life during the abortion, and how he reacted when Pam told him she was thinking about having one when she became pregnant the second time. I hope Dylan doesn't become addictive to alcohol. Now with Todd being DA and being assigned to Brittany's murder case and Sue Ellen's hand prints being on the knife could push him over the edge. Can't wait until next week!!! Is it Friday soon? LOL!!!
brian (Saturday, 25 February 2017 01:01)

Kathy (Saturday, 25 February 2017 07:26)
Good episode John. Poor Lucy she is in a bad way. Hopefully you have something in mind to help her. I know She Ellen didn't do it. I will hate to see her having to stand trial. Keep up the good writing.
Will (Saturday, 25 February 2017 08:16)
Another great episode. Did John Ross hear the conversation between Tripp and Cliff about Tripp and Pamela's marriage and all the details? Cliff explained his actions from a few years ago about blowing the rig and Pamela losing the twins as a result.
Will Todd manipulate the evidence to get his revenge on John Ross?
Some interesting story lines continue...keep up the good work.
SHAFT (Saturday, 25 February 2017 08:36)
Wow, excellent, Cannot wait for the next episode. Love how you made Rays past just like his sons. So many great stories going on. Howis Sue Ellen going to be cleared?
How is Justin going to get his revenge? Whats going to happen to Pamelas marriage? What is Brad Stones plan and how is John Ross going to diffuse it? What an art your have for writing! Till next week....
Chris Hawkins (Saturday, 25 February 2017 11:16)
Another great episode, looking forward to seeing what is in store for Lucy!
Loved it!
Kathy A. Johnson (Saturday, 25 February 2017 13:13)
Great episode as always John. Lucy has always been unhappy, sad and lonely. Hope she fines happiness soon. Thank you for all your great stories.
Ada Vincent (Saturday, 25 February 2017 13:21)
Great job love the twists and fates of characters keep up the great writing and thanks for continuing to write the storylines
Janie Fleischer (Saturday, 25 February 2017 14:16)
Such an intense episode. It seems poor Sue Ellen will never live a peaceful life. I don't like Todd being on the Brittany case. He goes after blood I feel bad for Lucy she has suffered all her life for something she did years ago. She would be a good one to talk to Pam Pam is doing the right thing in not aborting her baby. Well like I said another great episode. Thank you John
Marie Kinsey (Saturday, 25 February 2017 16:40)
OMG I'm so into this...I want to know all the answers to the questions running through my mind. To many to list...ready for next episode...come on Friday! Excellent work John. Thank you for each and every word you type.
Derek Mathews (Saturday, 25 February 2017 20:05)
I agree with you Janie. I don't like Todd being on that Brittany Ewing case either. I knew he was going to use his new job as the prosecutor for the DA to get his revenge on John Ross because he has been obsessed with veagance just like his father did on Jack Ewing. Then he will get disbarred, and fired. The best revenge is success. Todd is about as dumb as his father is. This is going to blow up in his face literally, and then he will have hit a new low. He will be a loser once again. Always thought he was a loser anyway.
Derek Mathews (Saturday, 25 February 2017 20:19)
Sue Ellen didn't kill Brittney Ewing. Thats WAY too obvious. I have watched enough crime dramas to know that this is a frame up. Either Brad Stone or Marliee Stone killed Brittany Ewing, and one of them framed her. That smudged fingerprint belongs to the real killer, because the only way that Sue Ellen's hands will have been on that knife is if the real killer have planted it there. My money is on Brad Stone or Marliee Stone. I don't see any of the Ewings having killed Brittany, even though they all had motives. That leaves the Stones. We will see if I'm right.
Parker Bena (Saturday, 25 February 2017 23:54)
I'm still loving the JFK references. SILL waiting for Dealey Plaza, the Texas Book Repository, and the Grassy Knoll.
John Walden (Sunday, 26 February 2017 00:22)
@Parker.....the JFK references???
Parker Bena (Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:39)
I think Merilee Stone killed Brittany
Parker Bena (Sunday, 26 February 2017 22:43)
Yeah. The JFK references. Love Field was where JFK and Jackie landed the morning he was assassinated. Parkland Hospital was where JFK died at 1:34 that afternoon. Love Field was also where the merger between the NFL and the AFL was finalized, which led to the creation of the Super Bowl. Kansas City Chief's owner Lamar Hunt was a longtime resident of Dallas and the series was believed to based upon his family.
John Walden (Monday, 27 February 2017 01:36)
@Parker. It wasn't actually a JFK reference I just try to use real places around Dallas.
Parker Bena (Monday, 27 February 2017 07:36)
I know but those two places in particular were key places in the JFK Assassination timeline. And like I said, Love Field was where the idea for the Super Bowl had its beginnings. It has been said that Texas oilman H.L. Hunt was one of the chief inspirations for creating J.R. Ewing. All signs are pointing to Sue Ellen killing Brittany in a drug induced stupor, but the fact that Merilee Stone and Brittany had a major blow up before the Oil Barons' Ball makes me believe that she killed Brittany. After everything she has been through in her life, Sue Ellen doesn't need THIS.
Steve (Monday, 27 February 2017 08:22)
Awesome episode, once again I'm anxiously awaiting the next episode!! I'm guessing the murderer is someone we aren't even considering. John, without saying who....do YOU know who it is already?
Parker Bena (Monday, 27 February 2017 09:38)
Maybe John Ross and Tripp can meet on the Grassy Knoll. :)
John Walden (Monday, 27 February 2017 10:58)
@Steve....Oh yes, I already know who the killer is.
Parker Bena (Monday, 27 February 2017 13:29)
Maybe Brad Stone was the second gunman on the Grassy Knoll. ;)
Parker Bena (Monday, 27 February 2017 13:36)
Didn't the killing take place in the ladies' room? That lead me to believe that the killer was a woman, although, on "Dynasty" Neil McVane killed Mark Jennings disguised as Alexis.
Karen Duckworth (Wednesday, 01 March 2017 21:32)
Loved the continued suspense developing! Wondering now if Ray and Lucy might get together??? Like how John Ross seems to be "taking charge" and being more like JR might have been.
Sara Duckworth (Wednesday, 01 March 2017 21:45)
Derek, I agree with you Sue Ellen is being framed. Funny you should mention crime dramas. I have watched enough Perry Mason, Columbo, and Matlock know this is all just circumstantial evidence as Perry and Matlock would say. The real killer would have never left his finger print on the knife like you said. It is oblivious with the other print being smudged. Either the killer was wearing gloves or wipes their prints off after killing Brittany. Sue Ellen definitely needs a brilliant attorney. Too bad Columbo isn't on the case. Sue Ellen wouldn't need to stand trail. The killer would just confess after Columbo was finished with them. LOL I think Brittany's ex lover Steven wanted to learn about from Bun is the one who stabbed her. It has to be the least person we would expect. Remember when after John Ross got run over and John made the collage of all the suspects? Dylan was the one who did it, and he wasn't even in the collage.
Julia Cherri (Saturday, 01 April 2017 00:08)
Oh my goodness! One of your best episodes. So much excitement and drama. So much happening. It was such a surprise that Sue Ellen's finger prints were on that knife. I sure hope it was not her. I so hope that John Ross is able to take down Tripp and Cliff and Stone. Hope he finds out who the spy is in Ewing Oil. Oh, I can hardly wait to read the next episode. This story is getting better all the time. Thank you so much John for all your hard work. I think I will go to bed now and continue reading tomorrow. Thanks again, John.
Kimberly (Friday, 09 June 2017 21:11)
Whoa John another Fantastic Episode trying to remember it all haha! I told yall that the the DNA for Health and Ray come back positive. Now Donna and Ray got 2 things they both hate in common the heath deal and railroad commissioner job. Her and Ray both have new things in their life that even though they say they support each other but on the inside their worried about their marriage. I cant believe Todd never said anything to him about his underage drinking some big brother he is Conner would have done the same thing Tripp did to shawn ask me again when your 21. I am glad that old girl that Tripp was with at the restaurant was a job associate . I think Lucy needs to go see Pamela and Tripp and explain to them what she went through with the abortion and rape situation. Its not that I agree with abortion, adoption, or keeping they just need sit down and chat with lucy some how then they need to talk and make some kind of Decision before their marriage falls apart. Cliff Right Tripp needs to be told like what Lucy with through and start to see that no one was there for Lucy and like Cliff said she needs support, a hug a hand holding if you love her as he says he does he needs to work with her on this for sake of their marriage. Man Emmas having that baby fast and John Ross don't know how right he is about that Baby being Lucas's lol and he will learn it years down the line. Well now we know for sure Kristina and John Ross are off the Suspect list of who had the knife its got Sue Ellens prints on if Todd thinks his going to bring John Ross's mom down since shes a Ewing but I hope it turns out for her that its self defense. Its not Right for her not like Jill even thought its evident that shes the evidence of J.R. affair. I think the spy Tripp has is Courtney none other then Christophers Girlfriend well almost finacee well that's all I got for tonight lol. Good night Can't wait until the next one 134!

Todd Baxter prosecuting the murder of Brittany Ewing is like when Cliff Barnes prosecuted Jock Ewing for a murder.
