Dallas - Season 2

With Christopher and Bobby at the helm of Ewing Energies, and Elena working to gain a stronger foothold within the company, J.R. and John Ross strike a deal to wrestle control of Ewing Energies away from them. Meanwhile, Pamela Rebecca Barnes -- formerly known as Rebecca Sutter -- schemes with John Ross to take half of Christopher's shares in Ewing Energies to fulfill her father's desire for revenge against the Ewings. And Ryland's mother, Judith (recurring guest star JUDITH LIGHT -- Ugly Betty, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Who's the Boss?), proves to be just as evil as her son.

When new evidence mysteriously surfaces pointing to foul play in Tommy's disappearance, Christopher aims to connect Pamela to the crime. J.R. and John Ross maneuver on two fronts to reclaim their birthright, including poisoning one family member against another. Pamela continues to push her father's agenda to gain control of Ewing Energies. As a new member of the family arrives at Southfork, Ann is pushed to the brink by Ryland's sadistic games and finally takes action.

With the future of Ewing Energies in jeopardy, Christopher does everything possible to keep a key deal alive. J.R. works to undermine Pamela, forcing John Ross to choose between a Ewing and a Barnes. Cliff Barnes (guest star KEN KERCHEVAL) returns to meet with an unlikely visitor.

Ryland continues his onslaught of Ann, exposing secrets from her past that threaten to destroy her. Meanwhile, John Ross' plot to take over Ewing Energies solidifies; Christopher changes tactics with Pamela Barnes; and an enemy from the Ewings' past resurfaces.

John Ross continues to persuade Sue Ellen to help him take control of Ewing Energies. Christopher and Pamela Rebecca work with their lawyers to settle their divorce. With Drew's help, Christopher makes a startling revelation that could change the fate of Ewing Energies. And the whole family comes together when an outsider tries to undermine them all.

In the aftermath of John Ross and Sue Ellen's coup to take over Ewing Energies, Bobby retaliates with the help of his brother Gary (guest star TED SHACKELFORD -- Dallas [original], Knots Landing), leaving the family in a standoff. Meanwhile, Pamela is caught between Christopher and John Ross as the cousins clash, with it all culminating in a winner-takes-all car race.

After a lifetime of scheming and dealing, J.R. Ewing finally meets his end. The Ewing family reels at hearing the news and is shocked to learn from the authorities that J.R.'s death is the result of a random mugging. The family strives to set aside their differences and mourn together and, accompanied by many characters from J.R.'s past, the Ewings bury their own. In a heartrending goodbye episode, Dallas bids farewell to the legendary J.R. Ewing ... only to uncover powerful evidence that leads to a shocking revelation worthy of one of television's most iconic characters. As in life -- and now in death -- nothing is ever as it seems when it comes to J.R. Ewing.

As Bobby, Christopher and John Ross get to work on J.R.'s masterpiece, J.R.'s will has lasting ramifications for the family legacy and Southfork. Pamela proves her loyalty to John Ross by giving him information against her father, and Christopher's relationship with Elena is tested when Christopher resorts to a tactic worthy of J.R. Meanwhile, Drew is forced to betray the Ewings when a family member is threatened, and Sue Ellen uses her wits to get Gary (recurring guest star TED SHACKELFORD) out of Dallas.

Peace among the Ewings is threatened when catastrophe strikes and Christopher's technology is believed to be the cause. As Bobby struggles to keep the family together, Sue Ellen reaches out to an old friend for help. Meanwhile, Pamela's mother, Afton Cooper (recurring guest star AUDREY LANDERS -- Dallas [original], Burn Notice), returns to Dallas to take care of her daughter. And Emma is put in the middle of her father and grandmother's relationship, pushing her closer to Drew, who is wrestling with a dark secret.
