It drove him to drinking and he ran off. Gary was like 18 at the time. And Gary is the alcoholic type that when he's off the wagon, he hits rock bottom pretty damn fast and will do violent things in his desperation for more booze. He is not a Digger Barnes or Sue Ellen type of alcoholic. Gary is a non-functioning alcoholic. He has to be on the wagon to live normally. Val was the fighter back then, trying to keep Lucy. J.R. felt threatened enough to issue a death threat if she ever returned to Texas.I think it was in the Survival episode in Season 2 DVD, when J.R. and Bobby were feared to have died in a plane crash. It's certainly in Season 2 DVD.</blockquote>
