What in the world happened to you?”Cally looks in Bobby’s eyes and tries to rationalize the events in her mind. “My husband - they killed him!”Bobby and Sue Ellen look at each other in a puzzled manner and help Cally into the house, where they sit her on the couch, while the boys pay the cab driver.“Cally,” Bobby begins, “we’re in the house now. Could you tell me again what you just said?”“My husband and I were walking on the boardwalk, and some men appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him - my husband.... They killed him in cold blood. Oh, my God, they killed him!”Bobby and Sue Ellen can’t help becoming teary themselves as John Ross and Christopher walked in.“Did they let you go?” Sue Ellen asks.Cally remains quiet momentarily; then, she shakes her head. “No, they didn’t. I had to run, and I ran to the nearest street, and that’s where I got my cab. I couldn’t think of anyplace else to go,” she answers.“Can you tell us who these people were?” Bobby asks passionately.“I don’t know. I never saw them before in my life! I don’t know why they did that, why they took my world away!”“John Ross, can you call 911?” Bobby asks. “And, Christopher, can you help me take Cally up to the bedroom?”“What should I tell 911?” John Ross asks in a puzzled manner.“Tell them there’s been a homicide and to come out here to Southfork, and also ask for a paramedic to look at Cally,” Sue Ellen answers in Bobby’s place.Suddenly, just as Christopher and Bobby reach the second floor with Cally, J.R. enters the house.“Good morning, Sue Ellen,” he greets jollily.“J.R., we need to talk about something....” Sue Ellen reveals.J.R. gives her a questioning expression. “All right. What’s going on?” he asks.“Now, before you get upset, I want you to be calm, all right?”“Well, just tell me what happened? Is it about John Ross?” J.R. asks worriedly.“No. We got an unexpected visitor. Cally showed up,” Sue Ellen answers.A long pause follows before J.R. shakes his head. “What? Did she bring my son with her?”Sue Ellen remains clueless to what J.R. means, then continues: “No. She was a mess, just a complete mess! Her husband got killed by some thugs, and she got a ride here-““Oh, my God!” But what about Jakob Robert? Nothing happened to him, did it?” J.R. inquires.“You never said you and Cally had a son!”“It doesn’t matter what I said or didn’t. Where is she?” J.R. asks impatiently.“She’s upstairs, but she’s in no condition to see anyone right now.”“Who in the hell attacked her?!” J.R. shouts.“I don’t know. She’s resting, so let’s let her recover. She’s got enough to deal with because the police will be talking to her soon, too,” Sue Ellen replies firmly.Ray walks in and notices the emptiness of the house except for J.R. and Sue Ellen.“I never thought I’d see you two alone in a room together again,” Ray jokes.“What do you want, Ray?” J.R. asks impatiently.“I was going to join Bobby and Christopher for lunch, but they seem to be gone.”J.R. chuckles and says, “Oh. They’re here all right. We’ve got a story to share with you, don’t we, Sue Ellen?”Sue Ellen smiles lopsidedly before nodding weakly and sitting in her comfortable seat.Phyllis’ Maine Home Overlooking Cliffside; Exterior - Late MorningPhyllis and Miss Ellie walk side-by-side on the jogging path in Phyllis’ neighborhood. Ellie smiles as she takes in the crisp Maine air.“This is such a lovely place,” Ellie comments.“I haven’t talked this over with Michael yet, but I’m thinking of selling out and-““What?”“Well, it’s been too much to handle - putting up with Nolan and all his BS. I just want my own space,” Phyllis answers.“I can understand that. I still can’t believe one man can be so shrewd and so cruel,” Ellie says solemnly.“He’s just done so much to me over the years. The hardest thing was that paternity suit he filed against his old secretary so he wouldn’t be recognized as the father. I don’t take from anybody, but Nolan was the only man who could make my legs tremble. I just can’t describe the effect he has on me.”“I know the pain, Phyllis. When Ray revealed that he was Jock’s son, I simply had enough. I had enough of Jock and was ready to divorce him. I’m just glad we reunited before he died so suddenly,” Ellie says.“But, Jock was a much better man than Nolan Darth. Nolan has no morals or scruples, and he doesn’t care who he hurts as long as he wins in the end. I’m glad I had the guts to finally leave him. I just can’t file those divorce papers.”“You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to, Phyllis,” Ellie assures. “Personally, I think it would make things more difficult for you to go through a divorce at this point.”“I don’t want a divorce either, Ellie. It would be wrong of me to end it because I still love Nolan, and I would be just as bad as him in the end....” Phyllis rationalizes.“Phyllis! Why don’t you come to Dallas with me-““Ellie, you crack me up just like when we were kids!”“I’m not kidding. I think it would do you good to get away, and it would do you good to be around people who actually love you,” Ellie says.“I had bad feelings when I left Southfork, and it would hurt me more just to go back. With Daddy dying and Garrison making us think he was dead, and Jock and you taking over the ranch, I felt out of place. I knew I had to get out there and make end’s meet.”“I was in the wrong, Phyllis. I was a selfish woman back then and wanted everything for myself. I didn’t realize what I was doing. Over these past couple days, I felt we’ve reconnected as sisters, and it would do you good to see your nephews and great-nephews,” Ellie says, smiling at the end.“Little Junior was my little buddy,” Phyllis says.“Yes, that he was. It really hurt him when you left and never kept in touch,” Ellie adds.“I was just as wrong as you were. I thought everyone had turned on me, so I just upped and went to Chicago and started my own life with Nolan,” Phyllis answers.“We’ve admitted to our faults. Let’s go home, Phyllis,” Ellie begs.Phyllis stares into the sunlight, then at Ellie. “All right. Let’s go home... home to Southfork.”Michelle Steven’s Apartment; the Living Room - Late MorningMichelle, hair undone and still in nightgown, sits on the sofa as she drinks her creamy cup of coffee. She sets her mug on the nearby coffee table and lays back. A woman identical to April enters the room from the hallway.“You look like a train just ran you over,” the woman chides.“Thanks a lot, Allison,” Michelle answers crabbily.“What’s got you so uptight?” Allison asks as she pours herself a glass of fresh orange juice.“Look, I’ve just got a massive hangover is all.”“Good morning,” says the innocent voice of Allison’s only child Alexis Stevens.“Hey, yourself,” Allison replies solemnly.“What’s got you all in a sour mood?” Alexis asks.“Auntie Michelle is just being a pain in the butt!”“No, I am not, Allison!” Michelle retorts.Alexis rolls r eyes as she grabs a pear from the fruit basket. “So, are we going to see April’s family today or not?” she asks.“You and your mom can go, but I ain’t-““We can’t go without you, Shelly!” Allison exclaims.Michelle grabs her cup and takes a sip. “I said I’d come to Dallas to support you, but I never said I’d actually go to the ranch. There are too many bad memories there,” she answers.Allison sighs and looks at her daughter. “I guess we came all the way here for nothing,” she shrugs.“Look, Mom, I didn’t just get on a plane and fly here just to go back up north,” Alexis blurts. “I’m not leaving until we go to that ranch.”Michelle laughs, and Allison feels embarrassed. “You don’t run my life, young lady! But, we probably won’t have peace of mind until we meet April’s husband and find out what went on from his perspective.”</blockquote>
