Hi everyone! I am so sorry for the delay in getting the recap up. To make a long story short, I’ve been having some technical difficulties the last couple weeks. Because of this, I’m pretty slim on pictures, so I apologize for that, too.
At least you can feast your eyes on this one
First, let’s get to the second to last episode of the season!
John Ross is in bed watching Elena get dressed. Elena blames JR for everything. Elena tells him that Bobby was willing to drill to save him. John Ross is shocked that Bobby would go against everything he believes in to help him.
Christopher and Rebecca are walking, looking at sonogram pic. She wants him to forgive her. They see two scary ass stuffed monkeys in a store window and head inside to no doubt purchase them. Unless these twins are going to have a freaky curious george-themed nursury, they should maybe skip this purchase.
When she gets home Tommy is waiting for her. I’m sure it’s a shock to everyone that he didn’t just go away. When she tells him to get out, he pushes her against a wall, threatens her and she scratches him across the face.
Sue Ellen is in her office when Harris comes in. He got her a gift – a bottle of wine. She tells him she hasn’t touched a drop in twenty years. I’ve got to say, that’s a real douch-baggy thing to do. Another shock – he donated to her campaign so he could use her. He knows about the medical examiner and if she doesn’t want everyone to know she will help him launder money. She wants to return his donation, but he tells her she can’t take back the bribe. She tells him to get out.
Tommy is at a bar, no doubt waiting for whoever he is working with to show up. Frank, Cliff’s assistant walks in. He wants plans for Christopher’s extraction process. Tommy tries to put him off, but Frank gives him one day to get them.
John Ross has ventured out of bed and is helping Elena with a drilling problem. They realize that they can drill from neighboring property to the oil under Southfork. They take plans to Bobby. Christopher walks in and gets angry because John Ross won’t stop with the drilling. Bobby sits them both down and then has a stroke or heart attack. They call 911 and Bobby is whisked off to the hospital.
At the hospital, they find out that Bobby had a brain seizure. Elena starts to ask if brain seizure was caused by the cancer, but Christopher cuts her off. John Ross asks what she was going to say and she reluctantly tells him about the stomach cancer. She explains that she didn’t the tell him because B was afraid JR would use it to take Southfork.
John Ross goes to JR’s henchman, Bum, and tells him to find his father. He pursuades him by saying ‘Tell him his brother is dying’.

Was disappointed that Dallas recap didn’t appear last week. Decided that TVGasm didn’t care about Dallas.
Saw recap listed on today’s page. Got excited. Read another excuse from another recapper that they were sorry recap was so late. Seems to be a trend.
Read recap. Felt like I was reading Cliff Notes. I had seen the episodes, was a total waste of time.
Recapper promised to be back next January. Heavy sigh. Maybe the Mayans will be right and January will never come.
@Guy-i really don’t know what else I can say. I realize the recap wasnt great. I wasn’t even able to watch both episodes until Saturday. I just wanted to get the recap posted, so I didnt go into a lot of commentary. If you want to make a decision on not reading next season because of one recap, that is your choice.
Sorry, I guess I was hoping for more sarcasm and poking fun. I love Dallas, and was hoping for more of a comedy routine than a dry recap. Not that I could do any better, but I guess I always hope for a home run every time at bat. Didn’t mean to make anyone feel bad.
I totally understand. I just dont want you to think that next season will be boring. I promise a ton of sarcasm:) The past couple weeks have been hell so I just didn’t have it in me lol.
Yay for sarcasm! Hope you’re doing better this week!
So glad to see the recaps! I was a little disappointed in the finale. I thought the show the week before was more exciting, but that’s probably just me. I can’t wait for January either! It promises to be a good next season. Thanks for hanging in there and recapping, I think you did a great job! (No sarcasm there!
)
Maybe I’m just dim, but I NEVER saw the ending coming. I didn’t think that Cliff Barnes was so repugnant as to make his daughter marry and get impregnated by her cousin. Although, Ray and Lucy did something similar and he turned out to be her uncle, so I guess it isn’t outside the realm of possibility. Plus, I have a very foggy recollection of Cliff’s attitude that Christopher wasn’t real because he wasn’t a biological Barnes (I know JR was always big on the “He’s not a TRUE Ewing” and I think Cliff was the same, but with Barnes of course). I could be making that up, but I’m thinking it is true because I’m not as creeped out as I should be and worried about inbred twin babies with a total of 4 eyes – 1 on one, 3 on the other.
That didn’t stop me from shrieking “OH MY GOD – AWESOME!” and then being happy that it is coming back in January and not waiting until next summer.
Okay, I never watched the original Dallas but maybe it was answered earlier in this season, but who is Cliff? It was also a little scary how quickly Rebecca switched to bad-ass-call-the-dead-body-cleanerupers but a little nice to see her finally growing a spine. Did her ‘brother’ know that the person he was dealing with was actually a minion for Cliff? Or was he just a pawn as well?
Ohhhhh… I loved the finale. I knew something was up with Rebecca but I kinda thought maybe she was Ann’s daughter??? Can’t wait for January!! Please don’t let the Mayan thing be true…
@Carol, Cliff is Bobby’s first wife Pamela’s brother. There was a bitter feud between the Ewing and the Barnes’ families, especially between JR and Cliff. I believe Cliff and Sue Ellen also had an affair, but I won’t swear to that.
@Chickenlips, I don’t think Christopher is biologically related to Not Rebecca, so they shouldn’t have any mutant babies. Not to mention no creepy incest vibe.
Thanks for the recap, Pollyana.
The best part was that the “cliff hanger” was literally, Cliff in an (airplane) hanger.
@Tonya – you are just writing the next episode for them – how awesome would it be if Ann was Rebecca’s mother and that Ann married Bobby to infiltrate the Ewings in the name of Barnes? She was awfully sympathetic to Rebecca when it found out “brother” Tommy was a con man.
But now you’ve got me thinking…perhaps Ann is Christopher’s birth mother and she found him and married his adoptive father to be close to him? That would be an epic twist right there!
LOL Stephanie, that is HILARIOUS!
@chicken lips ! Totally could be ! Something is up and Ann has some dark secret with a kid??? My only issue is Elana and her mouth it’s like she doesn’t open it up? It’s all teeth ! I was pleasantly surprised with the season and so excited for January! Team JR!
Hold up. I thought it was implied in the original series that Christopher belonged to Sue Ellen’s sister, Kristen? And that MAYBE Chris was JR’s? Don’t hold me to that. But I don’t know what it is about Ann, but I don’t think either Rebecca or Christopher belong to her. Perhaps TOMMY was her kid?
Yep, Christopher is Kristen’s son, but he isn’t JR’s. Kristen miscarried that pregnancy. Christopher’s father is Kristen’s drug dealing bf. He essentially sold him to Bobby for something like $25K. For all things Dallas: http://www.ultimatedallas.com
I was hooked on this show back in the day (until the Oh No This Last Year Was Just a Dream season) but I’ve forgotten a lot of the details.
ITA, I think Ann might have a secret adult child out there somewhere.
@wcsdancer – thanks for the link, now just waiting for the family tree, I don’t think I will understand it all till it is visually laid out. Still enjoying this second generation, I just sort of zone out when they talk about older family members.
Let’s see if I got this. Cliff was Bobby’s brother-in-law from Bobby’s first wife. They both come from oil/land dynasties and the families have never liked each other.
@wcsdancer–Thanks. I was waaay too young for the original, so I got my fill in reruns and I guess my mom’s show recall is sketchy.
Carol,
Bobby married Cliff’s sister Pam. Christopher’s parents are Sue Ellen’s sister (who shot Jr) & a random conman. Christopher was sold to Bobby & Pam. It came out later that Pam’s daddy wasn’t Cliff’s daddy (in fine soap tradition).
Cliff’s daddy Digger & JR/Bobby’s daddy Jock started out as partners in wild catting for oil. Deals went bad…Digger was in love with Miss Ellie, but Jock married her. Digger turned into a drunk bum & Cliff has always blamed the Ewings for what became of Digger. Cliff’s entire life on Dallas was to make the Ewings pay for destroying (in his mind) Digger. Everyone across the board had a collective shit fit when Bobby married Pam (episode 1).
I didn’t know about the “Christopher is Kristen’s” thing. I was very young when I watched with my mom and even though I watched the reruns in college, I don’t remember ever seeing that. Live and learn.
