Ben Maxwell Deserved It

[Sarah Danner]

He's so pure. He's faithful to his wife. He likes dull. Or so we're led to believe in Call Girl (a late episode in the 1978-79 season). Guest star Veronica Hamel shows up and he instantly believes it's time to begin falling victim to the drinking vice and break the adultery commandment. This needed to be exposed. Sure, J.R. set the whole thing up. But no one coerced him into having that first martini. And then seeking an assignation. That was all governed by his libido.

JR knows how to find and exploit ones flaws, he's like a bloodhound that way. He knows how to play the other man's game as he puts it.

as the disgraced once-powerful financier and the many many readers of the esteemed Dallas Press found out, appearing to cavort in a secret “love nest” with Pamela Barnes Ewing and her best friend, the glamorous model and former call girl Leanne “Amber” Rees wasn’t necessarily all it was cracked up to be..

(it’s unclear from the image above whether said alleged cavorting was what “reflects heady euphoria” as mentioned below the extended caption, or if that was an unrelated article)

I love how sweet dear Pammy is in full makeup and hairdo when sleeping! She really had a weakness for dreams...

It would be called 'entrapment' if a law enforcement official did it.

It would be called 'entrapment' if a law enforcement official did it.

that’s why it’s a good thing we could rest assured that the straight arrow Detective Henderson of the Dallas PD vice squad and the rest of his team operated strictly by the book and would not stand for corruption or any other kind of funny business in such matters.

seen above: the veteran stalwart of the force cuts a dashing figure as he endeavors to keep the streets of Dallas free from illegal, soul-corrupting debauchery.

I rewatched the episode and I'm not sure if JR and Leanne had sex in the past. Leanne was one of the sex workers at a brothel, and JR used her to blackmail an unfaithful husband with photos, just like he planned to do with Maxwell. Do you think JR was "trying out" Leanne back then to see if she was really good at her job, or did he get Leanne's recommendation for the job from the madam?
