What do you want out of me?"</p><p></p><p></p><p>"Nothing."</p><p></p><p></p><p>Jack walks into his room. </p><p></p><p></p><p>Qi-Li breaks down crying. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>JR gathers in the living room with John Ross waiting.

And Jack, you came into our lives rather shady with your hand out, but you've proven to be a Ewing. But of course both of you lost your shares in Ewing Oil. At least ole Ray here, you got something to show for it. I'll give ya that. But all that aside, we got Kathryn to deal with. We seen what she did to the Barnes. Not that I blame her." Miss begins to object again and JR says, "Like it or not momma Cliff Barnes been after this family since day one with all that hate Digger filled his head with. And I'm business he didn't stand a chance against us, not until his momma left him all that money of Katherine's dad. No I don't blame her on that one. And didn't ya'all notice that with Wentworth money Pam didn't need Bobby anymore. She was more than happy to be divorced and rush into another man's arms. And don't tell me she didn't know Kathryn was making a play for all that money, because there she was right back with Bobby. You all call fall for that Barnes simpleton, but it got my brother killed. And now the woman who did it is after us. Don't think the company's the last of it either. She didn't stop until Pam and Cliff were broken. I ain't waiting around for that to happen to this family. Because I won't be the first she goes after. I'll. E the last."</p><p></p><p></p><p>"So what do you want from us?" Donna asks. </p><p></p><p></p><p> "I want to know we're in this together. I'll limit my issues with Ray to sarcastic comments and I'll accept him as a Ewing. And Jack, I'm hoping Donna when you're ready to retire or move back to politics he'll be ready for your job. I'll even accept you Clayton. But we gotta work together. No secrets. She'll use those against us. Now I got one to come clean about. Me and Kathryn had an affair before she left. I didn't think much of it at the time. We shared a common enemy, the Barnes. But I didn't expect Bobby to get in the way. And that's what he did. I also didn't expect she'd have my baby. But her son is mine, George Herbert after her dad and granddad. I didn't find out about him until recently. I haven't even told Sue Ellen. Frankly I don't know how. You might not all believe this, but I do love her. She's hurt me every bit as much as I've hurt her, but I've always loved Sue Ellen. You don't know what I'm gonna do. But we've gotta stick together in this."</p><p></p><p></p><p>Miss Ellie asks, "I don't understand how she's pulled all this off.

But I can tell you the Wentworth's friends aren't always that friendly. Rebecca's plan crash wasn't an accident. They've got just as powerful enemies. Now I know this families got some kinda moral code with business, but daddy knew it. To gotta look out for yourself. What was he suppose to do, let Jason and Digger drag him down too? A man's gotta do what he thinks is right. You can't always be worried about the sensitivities of others. And let me tell you, Kathryn Wentworth won't be." JR nods at Teresa and says, "Dinners ready.

[QUOTE="stevew, post: 61500, member: 130"] Episode 9: JR sits in the hospital lobby, sullen and defeated. Miss Ellie brings him a coffee. He doesn't even acknowledge her. Clayton whispers to Miss Ellie, "I know this sounds bizarre, but he loves her and nothing you do is going to help him with that."
