A Southfork is Taken over Storyline

Both Dynasty and Falcon Crest did storylines of their manors being taken by the antagonists. Could this have worked on Dallas? Perhaps Cliff uncovers an old paper. Aaron Southworth had a document signed by two witnesses that stated if anything were to happen to him, Southfork and it's mineral rights would go to Henry Barnes following his death. If Henry preceded Aaron, it would go to the oldest living decendant. Cliff realizes what this means for him and turns into a greedy devil. He takes the Ewings to court. It's validity is proven by the very elderly witnesses who signed on the stand and ownership along with the mineral rights are awarded to Cliff. Afton leaves Cliff, telling him he is no longer the man she fell in love with and is worse than J.R. Cliff gives the Ewings 24 hours to move out. He wants Pam and Christopher to move in. Pam tells Cliff he is dead to her and never wants to speak to him again. The Ewings take up residence at the Singletree but vow to get Southfork back . Cliff makes a very ambitious deal with Wendell to begin drilling. Do you have ideas for it?

I had always thought of a great storyline would be someone claiming that Southfork was not purchased by Ellie's grandfather legally and them looking through papers to find the truth.

I wanted to learn, perhaps in nuDALLAS, that Jeremy Wendell had secretly begun poisoning the aquifer under Southfork with hallucinative chemicals back in 1984 -- which why the Ewings thought Miss Ellie changed faces for a year, Pam dreamed Bobby was dead for a year, and the last few seasons of oldDALLAS were so nonsensical and silly.

I suppose something like this would have added some variety to the endless Ewing Oil takeovers and attempted takeovers, a well they returned to a little too often.
