The first time JR was shot the family reacted to it for what it was- a family member could die and there was a still an assailant out there who could be one of the family. Lucy isn't reflecting that here,  no matter how much animosity she has towards JR. Neither was Sue Ellen when she finds out JR is still alive and exclaims, "You mean that bastard is still alive?" Yes, she had plenty of reason to want to kill him, bit the enormity of her actions, including jail time and explaining to John Ross why mommy pumped three bullets into daddy,  must be setting in to her.  The first and second times JR was shot really convey the stark contrast on the quality of the show.</blockquote>
