To celebrate John Ross' return to Southfork, J.R. and Bobby take him and Christopher on a hunting trip to Haleyville. While there, J.R. becomes infatuated with a young waitress named Cally Harper, much to the consternation of her brothers.

J.R.'s lust for the young country girl Cally Harper leads him into a dangerous situation that even his wiles, Ewing money, power, and clout can't get him out of.

A beaten and nearly broken J.R. marries the innocent Cally Harper in a desperate effort to escape the crazed clutches of her vengeful brothers.

Newlywed J.R. struggles to escape from the dreaded Harper farm, while Southfork prepares for war against the unrelenting Carter McKay and his henchmen.

Carter McKay reveals his true intentions to the Ewings. To avoid bloodshed in the impending range war, McKay offers to buy two sections of the sacred Southfork and J.R. hires his own special brand of mercenaries in preparation for the battle.

The range war violently erupts as Bobby vows revenge after Christopher is caught in the brutal cross-fire. J.R., Bobby, Clayton, Ray, and their mercenaries mount forces to destroy McKay and his men and save Southfork.

Unaware that Jeremy Wendell is the force behind Carter McKay, Miss Ellie goes ahead with her decision to sell off the sacred Section 40 to McKay.

There is a startling disclosure at the glamorous Oil Baron's Ball, Dallas' social event of the season. Cally Ewing, J.R.'s new bride, attempts to acclimate herself to the grandeur of Southfork, while he searches for a way to remove her from his life.

Determined to create a life for herself in Dallas and win over J.R., Cally turns to an unlikely source for advice -- Sue Ellen.

Nicholas Pearce's father comes to town to find out what happened to his son. And he starts by grabbing J.R. but before doing anything, he gives him a chance to plead his case.

It's brotherly war when Bobby furiously confronts J.R. for ignoring their agreement to consult one another concerning business. Tommy plans to smuggle cocaine from Colombia with the unwitting help of Carter and Tracey.

J.R., hoping to get back into Ewing Oil, seeks information on WestStar's dealings from Tommy. Sue Ellen keeps seeing Don Lockwood. Bobby and Tracey's relationship continues to take a downward turn.

The feuding Ewing brothers, J.R. and Bobby, are trapped overnight in an elevator, with a defiant Bobby owning the only source of food or drink: a precious case of expensive wine.

The Ewing brothers are back in business together and set their sights on the biggest oil deal in history at the expense of Carter McKay and Weststar. April comes between Bobby and Tracey after she tries to convince Tracey that her brother is dangerous.
