[QUOTE="stevew, post: 66648, member: 130"] Elena walks out of the court room when Chris approaches, "On to round three," he says. "Aren't you tired of losing?" "What I'm tired of is dealing with a cheap whore coming after my hard work." "Our hard work." "You provided consultation, for which I paid you. The only hard work you ever did was in bed and for that you've been paid very well." "You're disgusting." "I am? You nearly got us all killed, you got Ann and Emma kidnapped. You slept with a married man who made his money off drugs and then stole him from his wife and kids. You blackmailed my father to help out the man who killed my children. You tell me how that all adds up Elena." "I did what I had to. Just like you helped out that very same man. So do us all a favor and stop pretending you're holier then any of us. You're just as dirty." Elena walks away. Chris gets in the back of his limousine and says to the man across from him, "We need to make sure I don't loose at the Supreme Court level." "That'll take your cousin's support. He's the one with the clout in Austin." "I'm getting sick of dealing with him. You know who he relies on heavily, Drew. And Drew probably knows everything John Ross knows. So maybe I go through Drew. Maybe what I need to do is get Emma back from D.C., maybe my dear step sister would like to help out." Pamela sits in her office across the desk from Elena. "I don't get why you even want on the board of West Star. Wasn't bankrupting Bobby enough? You do know he lost the ranch right?" "Please the Ewing's don't ever loose anything." "Bobby couldn't make the payments, so John Ross had to buy the debt. You basically gave my husband the one part of South Fork that evaded him." "I'm not going to feel bad because Bobby lost the ranch to pay the debt he owed my family." "Yes Drew told me you shared the money with him. So it still doesn't answer what you want with West Star." "It's an investment of the Trevino Group." "So you keep saying." "Just business. A good investment." "Alright then." Pamela slides across her desk some papers. "And so is this. JRE bought out Lucia and her boys. Partner." "You bitch." "It's just an investment. My accountant will be over to go over the books and account for every dime of the company. I'm curious as to what Nicholas left you and what he left your son." "I have no intention of being in business with you." "Then let me buy you out and you go away. Leave Dallas entirely."

Bo and Elena stumble into a hotel room making out, desperate to get into bed. In the Southfork living room before dinner John Ross pours drinks while he explains that Bobby got stuck at a cattle auction in Austin, his mother's still in New York City and Bo is out celebrating his new job as an entry level data scientist for West Star. Chris and Heather walk into the room. Chris says, "Congratulations all around for me. Elena list her appeal for a total upset. So the next move is hers, but we're moving ahead.

John Ross sits in the lobby of the Four Seasons as Bo walks through. "Well look who finally showed up." Surprised Bo says, "What are you doing, following me?" "No but I've got people following Elena." Bo grins like a devil. "You aren't making too much out of this are you?" "I'm not the sort to fall in love over a little play time," Bo laughs. "Good. Because we both know why she went to bed with you not that you couldn't have played with any of the other girls in that club or half the guys for that matter and for a whole lot better reasons." "I really don't care about her reasons. I was curious about what you and Chris were so wrapped up over. Still don't get it. But I know what she wants.

"I'm afraid we've made one hell of an enemy." The two laugh on their way out. Drew says to Elena as she walks through the lobby, "Bo Ewing now?" "What the hell are you following me?" "No. John Ross has security following Bo." "Worried about his little brother?" "Something like that. I heard you're going after the Al Ain leases." "Of course I am. You and John Ross got the contract to provide security?" "As I own half of Branch Water and JRE owns the other half, yes.
