Trouble occurs in the House of Ewing, when J.R.'s affair reaches the wrong men.

It's time for the annual Ewing Barbecue (where the Ewings feed half of Texas) but there is an unexpected guest, Digger Barnes. But this guest comes alongside unexpected news, Pam's pregnant!

Jenna Wade, Bobby's ex-girlfriend, arrives in Dallas seeking Bobby's help. Meanwhile, J.R. hopes that Pam's jealousy will make her decide to leave Dallas.

Jock suffers a heart attack and must undergo bypass surgery to survive. Meanwhile, Bobby is sceptical of J.R.'s business ideas.

Worried about not being able to produce a Ewing heir before Pamela does, Sue Ellen decides to pursue illegal adoption.

It's Lucy's birthday, but after a fight with Jock, she runs away from home.

J.R. tries to stop Cliff Barnes from running for state senate and gets help in doing so from Pamela.
