1 - 2 Community Spirit
Oil people on a ship spotted near the Knots Landing beach causes Richard to quickly spread the suspicion that the Ewings were looking for oil in the California waters. The close-knit community quickly bands together to protest. Gary redeems himself by sweet-talking his brother J.R. Ewing to look elsewhere. Laura's previous lover, Chip Tottson is J.R.'s partner in crime.
"I knew it. Texas Ewing moves to Knots Landing. Before you know it we've got offshore drilling at Knots Landing beach." Richard Avery.

|
|
|
|
|
The community pulls together to hear what Chip Tottson, of Petrolux, has to say.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, behind it all is Gary's older and meaner brother, J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman) from Dallas, Texas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
J.R. pays a visit to his favorite sister-in-law and puts on a little pressure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Valene retaliates: "Listen J.R., we're doing just fine here. Gary's got a nice job." (at Syd's car dealership)

Richard pushes Laura into the arms of a former lover so he can get the Petrolux account to boost his law career.
|
|

|
|
|
Gary helps himself to a Ewing file and Karen vooes J.R. to get information then leaves him dry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Val calls J.R.'s bluff to tell Lucy. Gary confronts J.R. with the knowledge he can drill onshore & go sideways (?).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
J.R. finally relents to Gary and Val. He comes out a hero and the community is peaceful once again, for now.
