who
munches up every scene he is in and proves himself to be one of the most
despicable characters ever seen on TV. The
season has a real shock in store, Jock Ewing, patriarch of the family,
is dead (Jim Davis who played the role died between seasons) killed in
an air crash whilst on a business trip to South America and whilst his
mother is busy grieving JR is busy scheming, aiming to wrest complete
control of Ewing Oil away from his brother Bobby and trying to win back
his wife Sue Ellin and son John Ross (mainly so that he can control John
Ross's shares too). With Sue Ellen busy being smooched by rival Cliff
Barnes (Ken Kercheval) JR decides to put Cliff out of business once and
for all. Meanwhile
back at the ranch, as it were, Lucy is struggling to cope with her
divorce, Bobby's wife Pam is desperate for a baby (which leads to Bobby
attempting to "buy" one for her) whilst Ray is determined to
prove he also has a head for business with some dodgy real estate
ventures. He also puts his marriage on the line with an affair.
