Dallas 2018

[stevew]

John Ross and Pamela dance in the middle of the crowded Oil Barons Ball. He says to her that Beau is considering joint the team at Whitaker Ackerman assigned to Wendell Oil and Gas. She asks why they'd want to have a Ewing privy to what they're doing. He replies, "Stupidity."

She says that she finalized the deal with Amanda. Lone Star will get twenty-five percent of her investment company, EwWood and that Line Star will over see her slowly selling off of her CalcoHarwood shares and the reinvestment of the money.



Lucy dances with Mitch saying it's silly to stay at a hotel when there's room at South Fork. "I'd love you to see what I'm doing. I'm transforming the attic into a room for them. There will be a play room and bedrooms, a bath room and a room for their au pair. I'd love you to see it."



Chris dances with Ava Wendell. "So what brings you back to Dallas?"

"My mother wants me on the board of Wendell Oil and Gas."

"Don't you think that's s but odd? A woman with no experience running anything, sitting on the board of an Oil Company being run by a kid barely out of diapers."

"I've been involved with some of the nations buggest endowments."

"That's giving away money darlin'. I'm talking about making it. And what's that nephew of yours done to take him seriously?"

"Managed our governor's very successful campaign. And he's managed several new oil plays already. Taken right out from under CalcoHarwood."

"Well the Ewings are back. Well put a stop to that."

Well, I will admit that you did a good job of showing that Katherine does have a serious problem. It's better than just making her a total b**** like I've seen in so many other stories. This was more in character. I was a bit put off by Bobby hitting a woman, though. Every time Katherine gets hit in a fanfic, I feel like it's some attempt at fan service for readers. In my opinion, the reason why Katherine would probably never be able to get better at this point is because no one ever tried to help her or even asked to hear her side of things in the show. I always thought that Bobby and JR were total asses to Katherine even before she shot Bobby. Bobby just used her for her money, and when he found out that she had slept with JR, he just labelled her as being sick. Bobby was totally stupid to just assume that Katherine should be able to just magically love her half-siblings without really knowing them. Getting used to blended families is not that simple. Especially when they have everything you have wanted, which can just make you feel jealous like Katherine. And JR pretty much raped Katherine and expected her to sell him some oil fields. He made it clear with his words and actions that he was telling her that she was only good for sex and money. Not good for a woman's self-esteem in my opinion. I apologize for my little rant there and if I sound judgmental. I just hate how 99% of any fanfiction I've read with Katherine in it is usually just about her keeping Pam locked away, killing people, being obsessed with Bobby, or being a horrible mother. Or usually, all of that put together. But in the authors' defense, they probably don't know what else to do with her based on what they have to work with.

Thank you so much for your through explanation. I totally see your point. For me it was more about using the character to explain the awful mess the writers did with 1) the dream season, 2) Pamela's disappearance because by then they were to scared to just kill a main character and 3) crazy Cliff because the new Dallas didn't know the old Dallas. So it fit justvto name her crazy and being used by another unseen group of people. I agree with you on Bobby and I'm guilty here if going with the new Dallas version of Bobby. And I hated that Bobby. So here is a rewrite that I should have done that is Bobby Ewing:


Bobby meets with Katherine Wentworth in a plush and gilded room. She begs him, "Please Bobby you can't let them have me. Please. I love you."

"You did all these for love? You're sick Katherine."

"They stole everything from me don't you understand? Wentworth Industries was mine. He was my father. He wanted me to run the business. And they were his friends. I was helping them. They were helping me. Please Bobby listen to me."

"I don't even know why I'm here, to be honest."

"Because you love me. Because I did everything my father wanted me to do. Because I'm right Bobby."

"Right? Katherine."

"Please Bobby. I took care of Pam. They wanted to just kill her. They killed my mother. My father should have known better then to just leave everything."

"Why did he?"

"He thought I couldn't handle it. He thought I wasn't capable. But look it Bobby. He was wrong. These friends oh his, I made deals with them. I controlled Wentworth Industries and technologies they wanted. And Pam's fine. She's happy and safe. And Cliff was always an idiot. He would have lost everything if I hadn't of intervened. He didn't even know it was me who was building Barnes Global behind his stupid back. Then he gave away my share to Pamela. He was trying to take the company from me. And my daddy's friends wanted Chris's technology. Bobby they were going to take everything from us. They were going to kill everyone one of you. I saved you."

"So now you're our savior. Your sick Katherine."

"No! They stole from me. They ruined everything. And they get everything. No! It's not fare!" Katherine is hesterical by this point.

"So you druged your own family because you didn't want to share?"

"They're not my family. These people were my family, my dad's associates. And when he died she tried to double cross them and they killed her."

"They killed Rebecca?"

"Yes. So you see Bobby I didn't have any choice. I had to."

"You had to take Pam away from me? You had to push Cliff and then watch him rot in a Mexican prison? You'd have never come clean. If not for JR putting me on your trail you'd still be living the high life in Europe with Pam so drugged she'd have no idea what was going on. Your sick Katherine. I don't even know what to do with you."

"This is because I shot you isn't it? Your whole family hates me because I lost it just a bit and shot you. Let me talk to your mother. I'll explain."

"My mother died some time ago."

"Let me talk to Gary and Ray."

"And explain what? After the hell you put them through. Put me through. Put Chris through."

Katherine stiffens up. "What about my hell Bobby?"

"I don't care about what happens to you Katherine. Take what you've got coming."

"Then I'm glad. You might have Pam back, but I killed Christopher. That's right Bobby. I killed him."

"What are you talking about?"

"The explosion in the car. My friends wanted it. They wanted his methane extraction process and I wanted Pam's son dead. So we're both happy and you can live with me taking away from you everything. You've got nothing now and Pam's a waisted shell. A fragil and weak ghost of a person that they'll probably kill."

Bobby looks over Katherine and studies her. He then holds her. "It's alright Katherine. It's alright." Petting her hair he says, "JR figured out a deal to keep those people away from you. It's done."

"You love me Bobby," she cries.

"I love you Katherine. It'll be OK. You're safe. I've got an island in the South Pacific where we're going to go. Just some place where we can all rest."

"I love you Bobby."

"I know you do. I want you to promise me you'll listen to the doctors. Do everything they say."

"I promise you Bobby. I will. Everything. Just don't leave me. I'm so scared. Please don't leave me."

"I won't Katherine."

"I love you Bobby."

"I know you do."

Katherine looks happier than she's e we looked as Bobby looks more exhausted than he's ever looked.


And back to the Oil Barons Ball:

 

[stevew]

Milly says to Emily, "So what's it like living at South Fork?"

"I like it. We've got a little cottage out back. And Lucy and I work for the foundation so we meet almost every day at the house. She has people come out to us so we can stay with the kids."

"Psmeka works a lot?"

"Too much. I know she loves her boys. I just wish she'd spend more time with them. I get having an au pair with her work schedule but I don't know. Lucy's more a mom to those boys. And John Ross, he's always around. Goes into the office less and less. Mostly works the ranch any more and people come out to him too. Maybe that's fine you know, one stay at home parent. Doesn't have to be the mom."

"Must be tempting being at South Fork with John Ross."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh my god he's gorgeous as sin. And all that money and power."

"That's silly. John Ross is nice guy. I think people expect too much of his dad in him. He's just a nice guy running a business."

"I've heard he controls several businesses. He's worth like fifty-eight billion dollars and rapidly growing even with all the money he's giving the foundation. Not that Chris is poor. But in comparison. I've heard people talk about Lone Star. It's invested in everything."

"That's really Pamela's job. Seriously John Ross is really just a rancher."

"Love to see him in Levi's and no shirt hogtying whatever."

"You're silly," Emily laughs.




John Ross approaches David. "I expect your continued help with Sechin and Long."

"You've got it. Just don't expect it anywhere else."

"Understood."






Pamela sits down with an older woman at a table and says, "Hello Mary. Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yes I am. My husband just went to get us a drink."

"I'm glad."

"Thank you for inviting me Pamela."

"Of course. Have you given some thought about leaving banking for CalcoHarwood?"

"I have. My husband and I have talked about it almost all night."

"And?"

"Very possible."

"Good. Won't have to change the monograms." Pamela smiles, holds out her hand, "At least welcome to the board Mary Melendez."

Mary shakes her hand. "Yes the board position for now. I'll get back to you regarding CEO."

"As soon as possible. We're eager to move on this."







That evening John Ross and Pamela walk through South Fork to the entry and climb the stairs. In their bed room he grabs her up and kisses her. He says, "I've needed to get my hands on you all night."

"Really. Why didn't you say so. We'd have left earlier."

Their bodies never leave each other's, their lips parting for just long enough to remove an article of clothing. They make their way to the bed, feeling each other's warm and naked skin, falling into bed.




Emily arrives home late, alone and goes into her bed room, beginning to undress.


She opens the door of her cottage in the dark hours of morning to find a very young and gorgeous ranch hand standing at her door in only tight jeans, no shirt, no socks. He grabs her up as he co es inside."





Chris gets out of bed with Ava watching him pull up his underwear. "Thank you for all that helpful information darln'. You ask me your mother tryn' to get her family to work together is like trying to get oil and fire to get along. Now which one are you? The oil or the fire."

"You tell me."

"I don't know. Don't really matter. When it's all done and said the oil's all burned up and the fire goes out."





"Shit honey," Beau says flopping on his back. "You about wear a man out."

Milly gets on top of Chris. "Can't keep up?"

He reaches around back, slaps her butt and says, "I'll go for another ride."






Lucy sits by the pool with Mitch talking about all their yesterdays with her feet up under her, leaning against him, watching the sun come up.

 

[stevew]

Just a little rundown of the house and a suggestion to the owners of the South Fork Ranch. I've never been on a tour of the house because it always seems to be a let down from what I've seen of the interior. I think they should treat the interior apart and created the three rooms as per the Dallas set. It should work and have enough room. They can add a gas fire place in the living room and a staircase maybe to office space not on the tour, and the dinning room with the grand window at the end that would alter the exterior but only on the side. Behind all of this could be a long hall from the garage to kitchen but the kitchen wouldn't probably fit with the large dinning room so the space could also but just alluded to and not in the tour. As for the family room off the back with the fire place between the two doors out into the patio, I'd like to see that as well and where the kitchen is in the original house would make a great small study for John Ross - so I'm going with these pieces in my story: Miss Ellie's living room, entry and dinning room and a rendition of the family room off the back but more suited to the actual back of the house with a small study for John Ross. Add to that a sound stage rendering of 5 bedroom suites (2 in dormers), the kitchen and out buildings (Chris's cottage, the rec house with 2nd story rec room and first story gym, stables, barns, storage buildings) and you've got an impressive Ewing family compound.

I wasn't going to do those sciences because I figured I wouldn't have Victoria Principal but I will for you as a side scene, something that could be a flash back as soon as she agrees.

I'm confused, since this is a fanfic what does it matter if Victoria Principal agrees?
I mean this is not going to be filmed and brought to the screen, it's just something written for other fans to enjoy. So IMHO her agreement would only matter if they were making an actual reunion mini-series or movie to wrap up the show.

Anyway thank you for writing the requested scenes for me. I enjoyed reading about Pam's reunion with Bobby and Cliff and also PamBecca's reunion with Cliff.

Oh and I really loved Lucy finding the box that her uncle JR had left her with all the sentimental family stuff too.

Also it's great Chris & John Ross has teamed up to co-operate at work again.

The Oil Barons' Ball is always fun. But I guess Emily & Chris marriage sucks.

Also loved the Lucy & Mitch scenes. I'm glad he and Sally are having problems.

"I won't Katherine."

"I love you Bobby."

"I know you do."

Katherine looks happier than she's e we looked as Bobby looks more exhausted than he's ever looked.


And back to the Oil Barons Ball:

Thanks for that. Oddly enough, having Bobby humor her like that might actually help in a way. I agree about the TNT Bobby. He did seem out of character and even more angry than usual. Like when he told John Ross: "Get out of my house, you little b****! I was like, what happened to Bobby? lol

 

[stevew]

Milly sits with Ava across a desk from Liam and says, "Let's hear the major players."

David steps up behind them and says, "Shell is the lead of several partners. ExxonMobil, Chevron and BP are equal partners with Chase Morgan and CitiBank proving financing. Ewing Oil is the lead of group consisting of Lone Star Investments, CalcoHarwood, Calco, and Grupo DeSol. Then there's Grazneft's partnership with Hong Kong based Yau Tei and Paris based Achieve."

Milly says, "That leaves Wendell Oil and Gas."

Liam says, "We're partnered with Grupo Baillere and Hearst Petroleum."

"Leaves you the long shot," Milly says. "The standards are the odds on favorites and you're the long shot. You need something to help with the odds."

David says, "Which is why we need you."

 

[stevew]

Thanks for that. Oddly enough, having Bobby humor her like that might actually help in a way. I agree about the TNT Bobby. He did seem out of character and even more angry than usual. Like when he told John Ross: "Get out of my house, you little b****! I was like, what happened to Bobby? lol

Totally agree - didn't like him in the TNT version.

The Oil Barons' Ball is always fun. But I guess Emily & Chris marriage sucks.

Also loved the Lucy & Mitch scenes. I'm glad he and Sally are having problems.

Yes but it's the way I think, as in it could be done so I try to stick with what seems possible for actual filming.

Emily and Chris has a difficult marriage to say the least. Lucy and Mitch will always find a way back together. Like her mom and dad.

When Ewings work together they're unstoppable and they have 2 enemies they have to deal with who apparently have no limits to their behavior.

 

[stevew]

John Ross works on mending a fence with Mateo.



Returning to the barns of South Fork John Ross and Mateo unpack the truck before heading up to the house. They encounter Chris walking straight for them. "Word is both Beau and Milly Lee have taken up with the Wendell's bid in Mexico."

"Taken up how?"

"Wendell's hired Whitaker Ackerman and put Beau and Milly on the project. And they've got Matta MacLoed hired as a consultant. Do you have any idea how much we've got tied up in this project?"

"Of course I do. I put the project together. I'll talk to him."

"Every move Ewing Oil makes Wendell's checking us. This has gotta stop."

"Especially as they always seem to be cheating." John Ross puts his hand i Chris's shoulder. "Leave this to me. Let's go and have dinner. No talk of business."

"Any word on Dmtry and Long's bid."

"I've heard they extended the time line for the announcement because the Mexican government's looking into bribery on their part."

"Well let's see what happens."

"Did you have something to do with this?"

"Me involved as bribery. I swear on the virtue of my good name, I had nothing to do with anything like that."

The boys laugh while walking up to the house.

 

[Karin]

I'll look forward to read Lucy & Mitch getting back together.

Also I must admit I'm a bit confused when it comes to the business in this story as there's always a lot going on at once so it's a bit hard for me to keep track of it. lol

Still I must say you've really made an effort to get the business side of Dallas back on track as on Dallas TNT there wasn't enough business deals.

 

[stevew]

The boys walk into the family room off the back of South Fork. John Ross pours three drinks at the bar. Handing them out he says, "I've gotta take care of some business. Tell everyone I'll be in there as soon as I'm done." He walks into his study off the side.


John Ross picks up his phone at his desk and fails. Sitting down, he goes over his mail waiting for an answer. "Carlos. How are you? Couldn't be better. I my friends are delaying the process . . . Not sure how well that'll go over at home they find out Dmytry double crossed them . . . Well one down. One to go."





Dmytry comes walking down off his plane when three bullets penetrate his skull.






Long Dia rools around in bed with Milly ins hotel room. Out of breath she lays back and says, "No you better hope I can save this deal and Achive to stick to the deal with out Grazneft because Yau Tei can't go it alone and you can't go home having failed."

"Just get me what I need and I'll she sure it's worth your while."

Rubbing his very muscular chest she says, "You will every time I call on you. Because if you don't and I pull the rug from under you, you won't be the only member of your family to pay up. I've been told they'll take this loss out on everyone connected to you."

"Don't push me."

"Push you. Hell I own you. Do you understand that? We both know where this is going. So don't give me some macho bull. Now I've got a job for you. I want to buy Ann Ackerman out. Get the old lady to retire. You need to give her a reason to agree."

"What are you asking."

"I want one hell of a poem video with that old bitch. Something so devistating she'll give me what I want."

"You'd better be careful. I'll only put up with you for so long."

"I'm running late." Milly says getting out of bed. "I want this wrapped up by the end of the week." She starts to get dressed.




In the South Fork living room John Ross says to Milly, "Six sharp," as she comes running in. Barbara takes her jacket. "What can I get ya?"

"Gin and tonic."

Lucy says, "We were just talking about the Cattlemans Ball coming up in a couple weeks."

Beau says, handing her a drink, "We are going?"

"Of course. Are are three things you never miss in Dallas. The Oil Barron's Ball, the Cattlemans Ball and the South Fork Rodeo."

"Got that right," John Ross says while raising his glass.

 

[stevew]

I'll look forward to read Lucy & Mitch getting back together.

Also I must admit I'm a bit confused when it comes to the business in this story as there's always a lot going on at once so it's a bit hard for me to keep track of it. lol

Still I must say you've really made an effort to get the business side of Dallas back on track as on Dallas TNT there wasn't enough business deals.

Lucy and Mitch are a long game to get back together I figure. Always a tease of will they or won't they.

To me the business is an essential part. I can see it being very confusing though because so much had to happen to get the Ewings final on top. So here's a business summary or their complex holdings.

Ewings:

South Fork Ranch: John Ross and Chris own this 50/50 (John Ross and Lucy own the house separate 50/50)

Ewing Oil: John Ross, Lucy and Chris each one 1/3. John Ross is President and Chris is Vice President of Advanced Technology. Ewing Oil is a field services company with hundreds and hundreds of in investments.

Ewing Oil is the latest investor in CalcoHarwood a giant, multinational oil and gas exploration and shipping company with shares in the New York Stock Exchange and hundreds of billions in revenue. Think ConocoPhillips.

Lone Star: a conglomerate that owns hundreds of different business and partial investments. This list of businesses could be endless. Owned by John Ross and Pamela and run by Pamela. Think Cascade Investments owned by Bill Gates.

Lone Star owns 1/2 of the Bodhi Coropration which makes cars and which in turn owns Ewing (former Faraday) Motors which makes engines. Chris owns the other 1/2. Think Tesla.

One of Lone Star's largest investments are shares in Calco, a giant in refineries and gas stations which spun off from CalcoHarwood and which in turn owns half of CalcoSino, a giant petrochemical company. Think Phillips66.

Thrn there's Whitaker Ackerman, a political consulting firm that both Beau and Milly work for. Ann Ackerman (yet seen) owns 1/2 and Milly is after it. Russ Whitaker owned 1/2 but as yet unknown Lone Star bought him out. This company has been contracted by Wendell and partners to help with the Mexican oil leases (something very new as Mexican oil has always been under government control).

These is also the Ewing Family Foundation (though not really a business it has tens of billions of dollars in investments) that Lucy runs and Emily works for her giving away billions of dollars. Think Gates Foundation.

JR took care of the financial well being of every Ewing Grandchild with money and property but none more so then his daughter Amanda who is one of the wealthiest women in the world with diversified assets totally tens of billions of dollars. He also made sure his grandchildren share a trustfund of various oil rights in Texas and California.


Wendell's:

Wendell Oil and Gas: not revealed who actual owns what after the staggering loss of the Wendell Brothers but shares are owned by David and Andrew as well as their mother, Sofia, and sister, Ava. Ava is the Chairman and David's son, Liam, is the President, though it is common knowledge that David runs the company even though it is a conflict of interest as he services on the OLM.

The Wendells have other assets such a mansion in a well to do subdivision but most of their money was lost to Amanda. They live together because so much of their money is tied up in Wendell Oil and Gas they find themseleves struggling. They are attempting to rebuild and get revenge in John Ross for what they perceive as his doing in their loosing their money.


Others companies:

Grazneft: a Russian oil company owned mostly by the Russian government. In an attempt to get technology from the Ewings Grazneft's President, Dmitry Sechin tried to kill or scare the Ewings in an explosion at South Fork. He was later set up by John Ross for double crossing the Russian government in the Mexican oil bid and was killed for it presumably by the Russian government. Grazneft was removed from bidding for Mexican oil.

Yau Tei: a Chinese / Hong Kong investment company (with British ties where Don Lockwood will end up a large investor). Yau Tei owns a large investment in Sino Petroleum (SP) of China which in turn owns 1/2 of CalcoSino Chemical. Yau Tei also was backing Grazneft's bid for Mexican oil. Yau Tei is ran by Long Dia (Long being his surname) who helped Dmitry Sechin arrange for the explosion on South Fork for retaliation of agricultural chemical technology not being part of the CalcoSino deal as he expected. Long Dia is now worried he might be sent back to China to face the same fate as Dmitry Sechin for betrayal and is being controlled by Milly.

Achive Petroleum: a French, multinational corporation involved in the Mexican oil bid with Grazneft and Yau Tei. Think Total.

Hope this helps. I thing Dallas TNT had the business aspect to a degree but the Ewing seemed to be down on their luck. In my continuation they are rich like the Koch Brothers.


I also want to apologize for all the typos. I'm writing this on my phone.

 

[stevew]

Late in the evening the girls sit and chat out by the pool.


Beau walks Milly to her car. He says, "I'm guessing I'll hear about the Wendell project after you leave."

"Call me, even if it's late when you do. I want to know what's said."

"Night."

"Night."

They kiss and Milly gets her her car. He watches her drive away.





Chris walks into a modern apartment with views of the Dallas skyline with Matta. She swats his butt saying, "I'm just glad no hard feelings."

"Hard feels for you converting with people that tried to kill me and my family?"

"What?"

He turns on the television with a recording of her talking with Demtry and Dia Long. "Any idea how much this cost me to get my hands on?"

"Where'd you get it?"

"The Russian government was kerosene my very close tabs on Dmitry and his friends. That's you isn't it? John Ross is holding onto this so you can be prepared for him to use it. But I managed to get a copy. Nice isn't it? So clear."

"What do yo want?"

"Everything and anything you can get me in the Wendell's. I'm going to destroy them once and for all. Get them out of Ewing Oil's way. Then I want what ever you can get me in Dia Long."

"You might want to reconsider trying to anger a man like that."

"I have no intention. Just like you'll do what I say, I plan for n putting him on the pay roll."

"Bit like having a tiger by the tail."

"We'll see. Now as for you, tonight. Take your clothes off right here, right now."






Out on the patio off the Rec House John Ross slides into the hot tub late in the evening. Pamela walks out to find him resting. "So, you made any progress with Wendell?"

With out opening his eyes he says, "Giving him enough rope to hand himself with."

"That all."

"Made sure Chris was able to get a hold of the video on Matta with Sechin and Long Dia. Interested to see where he goes with it. If she's gonna consult with Wendell instead of high tailing it out of town."

"Why Chris?"

"He was noising around looking for it. Might as well let him have at her. See what he turns up."

"Emily seems to have accept his late nights out."

"I don't pretend to understand them. At least my momma had to drink to deal with it. What's up with her?"

"I don't know. Anyway. Long Dia?"

"Milly was digging looking for something on him."

"Why?"

"Good question. But I don't trust that little tramp."

"She find anything."

"I made sure her man came across something. Watching that one too."

Pamela leans over to him and rubs his chest in the hot bubbling water. "Do you know how sexy it is to watch you work."

John Ross opens his eyes and leans forward. A very serious and seductive look in his face. "No tell me. How sexy."

Pamela stands up and takes off her robe. Standing nude in front of him she slips into to tub and into his arms. They kiss.






A registered letter arrives at Ewing Oil. Chris cones out of his office to sign for it. He openings it, reads it and is excited. We won the bid! Hot dam it's ours!!! Get my cousin on the phone. This is cause for celebration."





Dia Long is in bed with a much older woman when he pulls back the covers and revels themselves. Milly stops the recording and says, "That'll do just perfect."






Lia Wendell walks into his office followed by Ava. She says, "Your dad's gonna be pissed. He spent a lot on Whitaker Ackerman to bolster our bid."

"There was no bolstering. He was gonna bride his way in. But after Grazneft went down along with a few Mexican officials ain't no body was taking the risk. Shell got a lease and the ExxonMobil/Chevron/BP partnership got the other."

"Who got the third?"

"Ewing Oil and CalcoHarwood."

"Now your father's really going to hit the ceiling."

"Were the least of his worries. The governor wrote an executive order overriding the OLM blocking the Ewings from access to several of their mineral rights as soon as he found out the OLM is being investigated for bribery and conflict of interest by the state's Attorney General."

"Oh hell what does that mean?"

"This might be about it for us to hold onto anything. They tie this company to those conflicts and we might as well turn off the lights and close up the doors. Especially as I hear it, they're looking into a connection between grandmother and of Grazneft."

 

[stevew]

A television news reporter says, "Billionaire, former Chairman of CalcoHarwood and current board member of the OLM, David Wendell was arrested today on several charges of bribbery, corruption and conflict of interest. Mr. Wendell made bond and awaits trail. Once one of the richest men in the counrty, his fortunes have changed as he's worked to hold onto what he hid family's quickly diminishing fortune."

John Ross turns off the television in his study. He then walks into the family room in back of South Fork and joins jack and his little brothers and their cousin play with build blocks on the floor.





Sofia walks up into a private plane. The door closes. It taxies away, takes off and fades off into the blue sky.





Milly walks into an office whose door reads, 'Ann Ackerman.'

Pamela turns around at the desk and says, "Welcome."

"Pamela. What are you doing here?"

"Came to welcome you to Whitaker Acherman."

"What? Why?"

"I heard you bought Ann's shares, and for an incredibly reasonable price."

"Couldn't pass up the opportunity when she offered."

"No I bet you couldn't. I felt the same way when Whitaker offered to sell his half to Lone Star."

"What?"

"Of were you thinking by sleeping with your boss he was going to sell to you first."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Pamela points the remote control and turns on a sex video of Milly and an old man. "Two can play at that game."

"You're sick."

"I'm sick?" Pamela switches to a sex tape of Milly and Dia. Then another with her and someone else. She says, "There's more of these. If you're gonna my to keep these kinds of things you should pay your people better."

"Listen you stupid bitch, there's nothing in there that's illegal."

Pamela smirks. "You whore yourself around Texas for a share of this company and I'm stupid? I'll appointment your new partner in running this firm and they'll keep me posted of everything you do. And as for my brother-in-law, consider that relationship done." Pamela walks around the desk, looks her up and down, says, "Now whose stupid, you whore," and walks out.






Liam meets with Dia Long in the living room of the Wendell Mansion. "As I see it, you're running out of options to bring back what they sent you here for. My father said that was some technology for argricultural chemicals which CalcoHarwood's chemical division sold before they merged it with Sino's."

"That's right."

"The Mexican government added a fourth lease which they awarded to Yau Tei and Achieve. I want in."

"Wendell Oil and Gas you mean."

"No. I mean me. I went out and started up Wendell Petroleum."

"A but big of a project for a start up."

"I'm sure we can work something out. I'm sure you haven't cut Grazneft out, despite loosing Sechin as a partner."

"Officially yes, unofficially no."

"Well there you go."

"I still haven't heard your offer."

"You just need this technology, even if you have to steal it, right?"

"I've tried that route."

"What if I can pull it off?"

"You've got oil lease. Yau Tei will finance you and Achieve will take all the oil you can sell them, they've got the tankers and refineries."

"Deal." Liam holds out his hand. The two shake. Liam puts his hand in Dia's chest."

Dia reaches forward and rubs Liam's crotch. "This what you want."

"Maybe just to seal our deal."

"I haven't seen you produce anything yet." His hand still reach to Liam's body.

"Good faith then."

"Do you know Milly Lee?"

"Yes. Why?"

"She helped me keep the arrangement with Achieve and bribe my way into a fourth lease so I at least had something to show for my trouble. I rewarded her well. You get me what I need and I'll make you the happiest man in Dallas."





Ava sits with Dia Long and signs some papers. She hands him a check. She says, "You're the new owner of Wendell Oil and Gas for pennies on the dollar, well what there is left of it. Enjoy."

He smiles. "I will."





Chris walks into the stables where John Ross is showing Jack how to groom a horse. "Has Long Dia left your radar."

"No. Why?"

"He just got a fourth Mexican oil lease."

"Good for him."

"Good. What the hell are you talking about."

"Jack will you explain to your cousin Chris how to fish."

Jack says, "First you bate your hook. Then you cast. Then you wait patiently."

"And if you're in the river?"

"They're particularly ornery. You got to tease them to get them to take a bite."

"That's right. Now Jack why don't you go grab our fishing gear and we'll go show Chris how it's done."

 

[Karin]

Thank you for explaining about the business deals, it made it easier to keep track.

Haha, I loved it how Pamela screwed over Milly. Also John Ross and Pamela are great as the power-couple of this story.
I wish they hadn't ruined them on Dallas TNT but seen their potential the way you do.

I'll look forward to the cattle baron's ball.

Yea I figured even though the Oil Barons Ball was from the original they could have both. In fact they'd probably have many. Shame they just didn't at least mention the Oil Barons Ball when they did the Cattle Barron's Ball.

Yes the business stuff works get complicated - the nature of such wealth.

Yes tinne there are so many other things these two could have to face they don't need to face cheating. Leave that to Chris and Beau.

 

[Karin]

Very true, they could have both. But like you I wish that the one we'd seen on Dallas TNT had been the Oil Baron's Ball instead as it would have fit better with the continuity of the Dallas universe.

Yeah having John Ross cheat on Pamela was a big mistake on the show.

I think they tried to say that Bobby and Ann were that core couple the show could count on but it didn't work. Dallas original had Jock and miss Ellie and Bobby and Ann didn't fill that void. Being a next generation show I felt from the begging that John Ross and Pamela fit that. I think the writers had some good idea but didn't have feel for what made the original and so we didn't get Dallas. Dallas didn't fail - this new show failed. Now I'm reading they're going to do a start over Dynasty. Again there's a chance to see if 1) family and 2) business are still of interest. I think they are it's just they have to be done with the focus on family and business. What we got with Dallas TNT was focus on kids and crime.

Again Dallas society gathers for another fundraiser, the Cattleman's Ball.

John Ross says to Beau, "You're gonna get a reputation you keep showing up with a different girl to each one of these things."

"Milly ended up buying half of Whitaker Acherman. I didn't like the idea of going out with the boss."

"No I suppose not. Did you think about the job for Ewing Oil as coomunications director?"

"I did. I don't know if this is what I want out of life."

"Then do it for as long as you want. If you want it, it's yours. Right now the staff reports to to the Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. That'll be your boss and the position will be made up for you."

"I suppose I could. At least for the time being."

"Don't get too excited on me."

"It's not that. It's just, I honestly don't know what I want out of life."

"We'll take the job and figure it out."




Lucy dances with Mateo. He asks, "He's not here ha?"

"Who isn't?"

"You know who isn't. Mitch."

"My x husband? Why would he be here?"

Mateo twirls her around.




Pamela walks up to John Ross and says, "Just heard word they're not letting Matta leave Mexico. Apparently charges of bribery. They're looking to take away the fourth oil lease over it."

"That should prett much end the Wendell's in the oil business. I'm guessing Wendell Petroleum ends up bankrupt. Matta should fund an aweful lit of time in a Mexican prison too."

"Now onto Long Dia and getting him sent home."





Chris says to Emily, "I'm sorry none of your family's here tonight."

"They're buried themseleves."

"True. I'm worried about Liam though. Do you think there's a job at Ewing Oil for him?"

"I doubt I could talk John Ross in to it. Though he is an accountant."

"Yes he is."

"And out Comptroller just took a job as CEO of a bank in New York. Like John Ross is in the middle of a search right now. I can bring it up. Maybe a good idea to let bygones be bygones."

"Thank you Chris."

"Of course."
