JR and Cally are now living in wedded bliss at Southfork — at least until Cally overhears JR taunting April in the living room about their all but forgotten fling (“The Bobby I used to know would never be caught dead touching a woman I’d slept with [but] he doesn’t seem to mind you being my leftovers.”) There's a similar situation seven years earlier in Cuba Libre where Miss Ellie and Clayton's romance-in-all-but-name is going along swimmingly until Miss Ellie walks into the Southfork living room, sees Sue Ellen giving Clayton a peck on the cheek and senses there's more history between them than meets the eye. Elsewhere in the same episode, Sue Ellen tries to hold onto her own wedded bliss by convincing herself that Holly Harwood was lying when she claimed to be sleeping with JR. "You're a very sick little girl!" she snarls at Holly — putting all the blame on the woman, just as Cally does when she accuses April of still being interested in JR.In both episodes, we see JR doing what he does best — wheeling and dealing at Ewing Oil while getting dangerously out of his depth. In Cry Me a River, he's frantically searching for enough oil to fulfil a contract he made with a large and powerful refinery owner behind Bobby’s back; in Cuba Libre, he's trying to retrieve the $40,000,000 he lost while selling oil illegally to an embargo country. At the end of Cry Me, he winds up buying a substandard tanker to ship the crude he needs from Venezuela (what could possibly go wrong?); at the end of Cuba, he gets thrown in a Havanan jail cell.Cuba Libre  takes place towards the end of JR and Bobby's bitterly destructive fight for control of Ewing Oil yet what struck me most during this episode is the warmth of the characters towards one another: Mark's gentle wooing of Pam in the South of France (her cackle when he presents her with an invisible bathing suit is lovely), Punk's discreet questioning of Clayton regarding his intentions towards Miss Ellie, Donna inviting a wide-eyed Lil Trotter to Southfork, and Bobby doing his best to help Sue Ellen during her latest hour of need despite them being on opposite sides of the war. Perhaps most striking of all is Ray's insistence to Mickey that "you, me, your ma — we're just as good as anybody." In the context of the status-obsessed '80s, and maybe even today as well, it sounds almost like a political statement.And the winner is ...
