It was fun for a while but the story became repetitive. Adding Rebecca to the mix was a nice touch. She squared up to Miss Ellie after Cliff attempted suicide. I thought that scene alone shed Miss Ellie in a different light. Suddenly she was caught out. Was she to circle the wagons and protect her family from outside threats as she always put it? Or go after J.R. for once again inflicting pain on poor Cliff?There was also the slightest suggestion that the writers were creating a love triangle between Miss Ellie, Clayton and Rebecca. Shame this story wasn't further explored because it would have given those three some good scenes. Damn I wish the writers would have taken a step back and see what was unfolding before their eyes. Up until this point it was always about the Ewing family however Rebecca's entry gave the Barnes family the foundation to square up to the Ewing's. And there is Pam, caught smack in the middle of it all.</blockquote>
