Budget cuts, I suppose. Too bad, since the cartel added some layers to the Ewings' business dealings
Where did the cartel go?

I missed good old Punk Anderson although I suppose technically he wasn't a member of the Cartel.

Instead of Clayton's business associates we didn't know, I'd like a STRAIT-JACKET style horror vibe to Lady Jessica's season-long murder spree of the cartel during S13 (per DVD) because, as one clever poster once suggested, she'd been extorting the male members of the cartel on the pretense that they'd all sired precious Dusty decades earlier. And when they'd stop trying to pay --- off with their heads!!
But they'd obviously need a red herring situation tossed into the mix: a second killer we don't know who is who's adding to the body count.
Did Marilee have a brother? And was he named Rocky??
I can't remember. Marilee could have a small dinner party. For some reason, Lady Jessica is invited along with Clayton & Ellie, and Jessica winds up taking an axe to her hosts (as Rocky is a cartel member emeritus ---maybe he slept with a post-war Jessica, too, was also told he'd fathered Dusty as well, blackmailed for decades just as the other cartel members were).
Rocky is killed. Marilee is seriously axe-injured, but uses her convalescence (and potential lawsuit against the Ewings) to garner attention from Bobby and promises of affection from J.R.
Good ol' Marilee. Some things just never change... And, oddly, she comes off as no more bitter than she did before the axe attack.

I don't know about that but I believe it was stated at some point that he had retired. Cliff wasn't part of it anymore since he sold Barnes-Wentworth. So it was really just Marilee at the end.Andy Bradley had moved to Houston by then and opened up his Gay bar.
