That means writing would have continued on the second block once filming on the first block was underway. The first block included all the location filming in Texas, including stuff filmed at the real Southfork, as opposed to the cardboard patio back in LA that was used for the second two-thirds of the season. The first scenes to be filmed for the season would all the stuff in Texas. That would have included Jenna's waitressing scenes, the Southfork barbecue, her date with Bobby at the water park, etc. Studio-bound interiors like the Southfork living room, the inside of Jenna's condo and the Oil Baron's Club would have been filmed a bit later in LA. I'm not sure which category the Oil Baron's Ball falls into --it looks like a real location as opposed to a set so I'd guess it was filmed in Texas. But I vaguely remember reading something where Presley was quoted as saying her first scene with Larry Hagman was at Billy Bob's (the cowboy club) where, because she was so nervous, he deliberately fluffed his lines to put her at her ease.</blockquote>
