Winds Of Vengeance
J.R. and Ray leave a woman named Wanda
and her friend Marilou in the Westerner, a motel in Waco. As
J.R. and Ray are leaving in J.R.'s car, a truck with Luther
Frick and Payton Allen drives into the parking lot. Frick is
looking for his wife, who never came home last night. He is
furious, evident by breaking down of a wrong door. He apologizes
to the startled man and they find the right door, room 107.
Inside, Frick finds his wife naked on the bed. Allen finds her
friend Marilou in an ajoining room. Frick slaps his wife and
orders her to get dressed. Frick searches the room for clues.
He finds a J.R. Ewing business card on the floor.
At Southfork, Sue Ellen gives Ellie food in bed. Ellie is suffering
from migranes. Ellie suggests that they make Pam more comfortable.
Think of her not as Digger's daughter, but Bobby's wife. She
is very good for Bobby. Sue Ellen nods, then leaves. Bobby calls
Pam and says that a hurricane may be coming. He asks her to
call him in an hour to see if he will be staying in town. Just
then, Lucy arrives home. Her school let out early as a precaution.
Sue Ellen says that they should take precautions and batten
down the hatches. Lucy is "la dee dah" about it. Pam
says that she is smart.
Jock tells Bobby that he has make dinner plans with Punk Anderson
and some other old boys. Bob says that he is going home. Jock
persuades him to stay in town.
Frick tells Allen that they are going to do to the Ewing women
what the Ewing men did to their women. Justice will be served.
J.R. and Ray arrive home. By now the winds are blasting past
the house. J.R. tells Ray that they must capture the loose livestock.
Ray goes to start the job, while J.R. runs inside to change.
Sue Ellen asks where he has been, and why he did not call. J.R.
tells her that he is in a hurry. Last night, he had to work
late. He was too busy to call. J.R. leaves the house to help
Ray.
Frick and Allen arrive at Southfork. Sue Ellen answers the door.
They say that they are stranded, and they need to make a phone
call. Sue Ellen lets them in.
Frick
makes the call while Allen looks at Lucy. They apologize for
coming to their home; Sue Ellen says not to apologize. She goes
to get lunch while Lucy starts a fire. She tells Allen that
her uncle and the foreman went to Waco, and they just arrived
home. Frick tells Sue Ellen that the auto service company will
not be there for three hours. Allen tells Frick what he has
learned. Luther becomes more vengeful while Allen laughs with
delight. Frick tells him to shut up. Pam comes in, and Lucy
introduces them.
Bob listens to the radio. He tells the secretaries to go home.
J.R. calls and says to stay there. Some strangers are going
to help them round up the cattle. The roads are impassable.
Ray is thrown from his horse in the fierce winds. Lucy gets
J.R. J.R. arrives and they pick up Ray, who has hurt his leg
badly. They drive back to the house. Ellie gets up. Sue Ellen
tells her to stay in bed. She then sees a truck entering the
driveway. She runs downstairs. Lucy calls the doctor. Pam and
Sue Ellen tend to Ray. While the Ewings are in a commotion,
Frick and Allen lock the door, then grin at the Ewings. They
say that it is not going to be easy to decide which females
to take. The Ewings lookup in horror.
J.R. offers Frick and Allen money. Thye
refuse it. Their guns are pulled. They do not want money; they
want the females. Allen laughs. Frick shuts him up and says
that they have come for justice. Ray gets up and tries to disable
Frick; Frick bops him on the knee, temporarily paralyzing him.
Suddenly, the phone rings. Frick grabs Pam and has her answer
it. It is Bobby. Pam, with a gun to her head, says that Ray
got hurt, and two strangers are stranded there. He tells her
that he is staying in Dallas. She says that to pass the time
she will play backgammon with J.R. After they hang up, Bob tells
Jock that Pam sounded strange. She was going to play backgammon
with J.R. Jock sees nothing peculiar about that, but Bobby says
that she has never played backgammon, and that they most go.
Something is wrong.
While Frick holds J.R. back, Allen harasses Sue Ellen. When
asked, Ray says that he is not married. Frick says that he has
a wife, Wanda. She was found in a hotel room. He infers that
she was kidnapped and raped. They say that J.R. was there. Sue
Ellen is asked what she thinks of J.R. now. Allen tells them
what he plans to do to Sue Ellen. J.R. gets up and runs after
her. Ray gets up but is bopped on the knee again. Pam tries
to fight Allen, but she eventually loses. When the fighting
settles down, Ellie comes downstairs and is horrified at what
is happening.
Jock and Bobby are stuck on the road. Jock suggests they spend
the night in a hotel, but Bobby says that they must go home.
Allen orders J.R. to tie up Ray. J.R. hesitates, but he does
so.
Ellie comforts Lucy and orders Frick and Allen to get out. They
laugh at her. J.R. returns to the living room. Allen finds a
Miss Texas photo; in response, Frick grabs Sue Ellen to look
for her Miss Texas bathing suit. Allen laughs at them. Pam asks
him if he believes Frick. Allen says that he does not care about
Frick; he just came along for a good time, just like Wanda.
He will have his good time. They are going to have two for two.
Frick already has Sue Ellen. Lucy pipes that Pam is Ray's ex.
Pam agrees, and agrees to be taken. Allen says that he does
not want Pam; he wants Lucy. Lucy is very frightened now.
Frick
takes Sue Ellen to her and J.R.'s partition, then they return
with Sue Ellen wearing a trenchcoat and her suit. He orders
her to sing. If they do not get a show, they will put on a show
of their own. J.R. jumps; Frick lets go of Sue Ellen and puts
him in his place. They are going to get what they came for,
even if everyone ends up dead. He returns to Sue Ellen.
Bobby and Jock arrive home. Bobby looks in Frick's truck and
sees a map with Southfork marked as a destination. Bobby grows
more suspicious as he realizes that the strangers are not lost.
Sue Ellen starts singing. She cries whenever they shout at her.
J.R. is horrified. Frick grabs the banner in anger. Pam then
says that Wanda was out for a good time, said Allen. Frick looks
at Allen angrily, then starts crying. He says with sore eyes
that they are done here. Allen says that he has not gotten what
he came for. He advances toward Lucy. Pam orders him to stop,
and take herself instead.
Jock and Bobby enter the house. They find Ray tied up. They
ask what is going on. They untie him, then advance toward the
living room. Simultaneously, Allen grabs Lucy and they head
in the direction of the kitchen. Suddenly, Bob grabs Lucy while
Jock beats up Allen. They move toward Frick. Jock pulls his
gun. Allen tries to hurt Bob, but Bob wins. Jock orders them
to leave before he calls the police. Ellie says that they cannot
involve the law. She will explain later. Jock instead tells
them to get out, and never return. Luther Frick and Peyton Allen
skat. Pam tells Bobby that what happened is a long story, and
she will tell him it.
"It was awful. But we came through as a family. For the
first time, we've been one."
Only J.R. and Sue Ellen remain in the
living room. She looks at him angrily, then she gets up and
walks slowly away from him. Ray hobbles into the room. As she
is passing, she also looks at him with contempt, then she exits.
Ray looks at J.R. with contempt, then he hobbles away, leaving
J.R. alone in the living room, looking around.
