Dallas diehards spent last summer wondering who shot J.R. Now the producers have done it again. In this season's final episode, the body of an unidentified woman is floating face down in the pool at Southfork. Standing by the broken railing on the second-floor balcony is mean ole J.R. Ewing. It seems clear whodunit. The question is, whoizzit? Possibilities: Sue Ellen, who was about to run off with Dusty; Pam, who kidnaped J.R.'s son; Leslie, a recent J.R. conquest; and Kristin, back in Dallas and threatening a paternity scandal. Best bet: the trigger-happy Kristin...
...sexpot to a Gucci Two-Shoes; she replies, "I didn't want to upstage my own performance." Charlene Tilton, 20, plays Lucy, the Ewing niece, as if she were really the love child of Mae West. The British press has a nickname for this tiny terror of Southfork: "the Poison Dwarf."

For six weeks, thousands of Dallas addicts turned the actual Southfork Ranch into a Texas tourist attraction second only to the Alamo. The neighbors threatened to sue, but Southfork Owner Joe Rand Duncan, a wealthy land developer, was delighted with the publicity: he plans to sell clumps of the hallowed turf...
...Ellen and Cliff I will be arrested and released. While J.R. recuperates, Bobby will assume the presidency of Ewing Oil and become obsessed with power, thus putting a severe strain on his marriage. Pamela will find her mother, a mysterious rich lady, and Ray Krebbs (Steve Kanaly), the Southfork Ranch foreman, will find his father. Cliff will establish a new political power base from which to harass the Ewings. Lucy will get married. As for the hundred other plot contortions the Ewings will endure, no one who knows is telling. All in good time, Dallas fans will learn the answers...
