[QUOTE="James from London, post: 205730, member: 22"] That scene wouldn't quite work as a memory because Lucy wasn't present for it. She was deliberately kept in the dark about Gary and Val's reconciliation so she could turn up in [I]Knots Landing[/I] asking, "What the ...?" I think the overall theme of [I]The Search[/I], and of all those flashbacks, was "putting differences aside in times of crisis to come together as a family" aka "Ewings Unite". (If I recall correctly, there are a couple of times, as Ellie is exiting a scene, her back to camera, where they dub in an extra line of her dialogue just to underline that theme. As she's leaving JR's bedroom after asking Sue Ellen to stay on at the ranch until the men return, you hear her disembodied voice saying, "The family should stick together when there's trouble.") However, Jock and Lucy never really shared any scenes pertinent to that theme so there's nothing that significant of theirs to flashback to. So I imagine when they were assembling the episode, deciding which clips to use and which to leave out, that Lucy's weren't considered a priority. [/QUOTE]
