Very well done Toni, Miss Piggy would be impressed with that editing.

Thanks for uploading it and letting us watch it.

That's how the original season nine cliffhanger might've looked if Patrick Duffy hadn't returned in that shower scene. :)

I think the Ellie and sue ellen scene where they’re looking for Clayton and meet Eddie is a good indicator that the cliffhanger was Ellie finding out Stivers was Jock. There’s a very very subtle mystery that Clayton has gone missing. Over the years that I’ve watched the episode I always felt that scene stood out like a sore thumb. Then I found out what the payoff was and it make sense. It was paving the way for Ellie walking in on Stivers in the bunkhouse.

I agree. Part of my ritual back in the day was to keep track of where everybody was at the end of each episode, and i can clearly recall being aware that, in addition to the three-punch whammy, Clayton had gone missing. There must have been an intention to follow up on that somehow, or else why was it there?

Excellent. There's no doubt in my mind that that would have been just as impactful as Bobby's return. Perhaps more so given the publicity factor surrounding Duffy.

Noooooo! This is how it should have been! So much better than shower scene

Yeah, who wants to look at a naked Patrick Duffy swing round in the shower & say "Good Morning!"?

Certainly not me! I can't believe I've said that but it's true, the episode works far better with Miss Ellie discovering Jock's things.

Steve Forrest just exudes gravitas and please note that neither Barbara Bel Geddes or Steve Forrest overly blink at all whilst delivering their lines. That's the marque of a really good actor, and these two are excellent actors. Just look at the chemistry between them in this short scene, it's electric. :)
