    Most of the episode centered around people trying to expose J.R.'s illegal activities with B.D. Calhoun. Mrs. Scotfield got a local yokel newspaper guy to print a story about J.R.'s actions and the CIA's coverup. The CIA's Dohthrey quickly warned her against further work and threatened her and her CIA file clerk brother with prison time. However, Jeremy Wendell did get wind of her work and saw an opportunity to get J.R. (who had embarrassed Jeremy in the first of the episode by revealing that April had been working for J.R. and pretending to work for Jeremy).

    I felt the Miss Ellie anger storyline was stilted. There wasn't a lot of evidence of Miss Ellie's anger in prior episodes. Ellie knew about the problems with Calhoun episodes ago, and just now decided to blow over it. I think they just needed a reason to get Bobby to want out of Ewing Oil and that was it. Notice that Ellie comforts J.R. in the next episode, so it was kind of a one time thing.

    Furthermore, the scene in the Oil Baron's that got Ellie all angry (where the men were talking bad about Clayton and Ellie) was a little unlikely also. For one thing, everybody should have known that Ellie wasn't the boss of Ewing Oil, and that Clayton had no part in it. Secondly, even if it had been J.R., I don't see why oil men would be so unhappy. Illegal or not, J.R. organized Calhoun's effort to cripple OPEC's production and HELP the Texas Oil industry. He probably would have been regarded as a hero among Oilmen in the Ollie North fashion.

    So, I think the storyline was a little unbelievable this time.

    The noose around JR's neck tightens. Wendell has the proof that Ewing Oil funds terrorism. Bobby decides to sell his share in the company. Miss Ellis makes a surprise visit to the office. These visits are so rare; you always expect it to be dramatic. She tells hers sons, she is ashamed of what they have done to Ewing Oil. Barbara Bel Geddes is a superb actor in this episode. She talks with force with the minimum of raising her voice or making excessive hand gestures.

    Mandy Winger returns to Dallas but I doubt it is to help Sue Ellen. It's Dallas, so I expect a nice juicy twist in this interesting sub-plot. I love Mandy dress and her arrival Sue Ellen's office.

    This is a strong exciting episode with some great moments
