Personally I always wanted to see the women of the show get more involved in business. We got a glimpse of it when Donna substituted for Bobby after the shooting and with Pam in the dream season but neither situation really delivered what they should’ve. Miss Ellie felt J.R. and Bobby had failed the company and their daddy. She knew Jock was no angel all those years and did what he had to to make Ewing Oil succeed but Jock had never done anything to bring on the wrath of the federal government. J.R. had and in Miss Ellie’s opinion Bobby was just as guilty for standing by. We know Bobby was in the dark for quite awhile when it came to B.D. but Miss Ellie didn’t care at this point. Jock knew what he could get away with and he knew when to stop, and admitted himself that he had never taught that last part to J.R. Why? I’m not sure really. If Jock was so successful and also knew when to stop then why wouldn’t he pass that on? It might’ve been his biggest mistake as a father.</blockquote>
