Meanwhile, BOBBY and J.R. agree to run EWING OIL together again but, when the latter receives the visit of KATHERINE, J.R. hints the opposite. He also encourages her into luring BOBBY:
“Ask me whatever you want if I can help you, I´d just love you to be my sister-in-law...”

J.R. and SUE ELLEN stay in a hotel along with the child, who seems to be suffering some sort of trauma due to the fire. When PAM takes her friend out shopping, SUE ELLEN drinks again in a boutique:
“ Pam don´t be a nag, what else have I got but JR's money and I'm going to sit right here and see how much I can spend".

The three EWING brothers meet at the border of the river that crosses SOUTHFORK.
“You and BOBBY played a dirty trick on DRISCOLL, you took the money out of his brief and put guns in it, and he ended up in prison. None of us has clean hands...” - sentences J.R.
