At Pamela's home Christopher stood waiting for an explanation from his mother

Pamela walked over to her son

"What's going on?" Christopher asked

"Christopher, I'm trying to protect you" Pamela stated

"From what?" he asked

"Apparently the chopper, John's Ross's chopper was sabotaged" Pamela explained

"What? What are you saying?" Christopher asked

"There is going to be an investigation, an inquest" she explained

Christopher was stunned

"My god" Christopher stated looking down. He paused and look straight back at his mother "Wait, are you suggesting that....! You don't think I did it? You do.........you think it was me" Christopher spurted at his mother

Pamela walked over to her son

"I didn't say that Christopher, I know you wouldn't do that, I know you couldn't" Pamela explained

"Then why the phone call? " he asked

"I don't believe for a moment you are capable of that, but I wouldn't would I, but that's just me, and sadly my opinion doesn't count for much in a court of law" Pam said

"I'm confused" Christopher explained

"There's something you need to know" Pamela said as picked up the cassette

"What's that?" Christopher asked

"John Ross had Becky followed and her car was bugged" Pamela explained

"Typical John Ross" Christopher said bluntly

"I managed to stop this cassette going to the Police, it's the night of the accident, you threaten to get rid of John Ross, you say no matter what it takes you want to be with Becky. Christopher, if it's true and John Ross was murdered, you are in a lot of trouble" Pamela stated harshly

"I can't believe I'm hearing this, this is insane." Christopher stated

"It looks bad Christopher, you were having an affair with his wife, you made it quite clear how you felt about him, god you almost killed him right in front of everyone at Southfork, you find out she's pregnant and then he's murdered. How does that look?" Pamela reinforced the trouble her son was in

"But running away? Won't that look worse?" Christopher asked

"Christopher, JR is looking to blame someone and when he gets wind of this he will make sure you go down, maybe if you get away, far away, until this has all blown over, maybe then you stand a chance" Pamela explained

"JR doesn't scare me" Christopher stated

"Well things are different now, he's lost his son, JR wont rest until he destroys whoever he feels was involved and right now that's you" Pamela replied

Christopher stood silently.

"Is that making any sense?" Pamela asked

"Right now nothing makes much sense to me, I have all these feelings, I have knot in my stomach and I just want to scream. I hate what happened, he was like a brother to me, I hate all this, I don't understand it" Christopher replied

"Let me make that call" Pamela said

"What about you? What if the rest of the family find out about this? What if JR finds out? Dad?" Christopher asked

"I can take care of myself, I can deal with JR" Pamela replied

"But mom you could loose everything" Christopher replied

"As long as I don't loose you , I don't care about the rest, please let me do this, let me help you" Pamela replied

Christopher thought for a moment

"When would I leave?" he asked

"Tomorrow " Pamela replied sighing

"But how I will I know what's happening here?" Christopher asked

Pamela placed her hands on his shoulders

"We will keep in touch, you must call me, you must let me know where you are" Pamela stated

Christopher nodded "What about dad? Will you tell dad?"

Pamela smiled "Yes I will tell your father"

"Will you make sure he knows it wasn't me, please" Christopher said

Pamela nodded and hugged her son

"It's going to turn out ok Chris, its all going to be fine, I promise"

At Dallas memorial hospital Miss Ellie arranged some flowers by Lucy's bed. She took out a brush and brushed Lucy's hair as the monitors beeped away and the pipe in Lucy's mouth helped her to breath.

"Oh Lucy, wake up, please wake up" Ellie pleaded

Ray walked in removing his stetson.

"Miss Ellie" he said smiling

"Hello Ray" Ellie replied

"Any change?" Ray asked

Ellie shook her head "No, nothing, I just wish there was something, some sign that she could hear me"

"She looks so peaceful" Ray noted looking down at Lucy

Ellie laughed "She would love all this attention, Lucy thrived on attention right from a baby and she knew how to get it, especially from Jock, whatever Lucy wanted Jock would give in, he adored her."

"I don't think that was just Jock" Ray smiled

"Very true Ray, she had us all smitten, she was the baby girl in a house filled with Ewing men, she learnt young how to control her man" Ellie giggled

Ellie stood up and poured herself a glass of water. Lucy's eyes flickered.

"Lucy! Lucy!" Ray called out noticing her eyes.

"What is it Ray?" Ellie asked

"Miss Ellie look, quickly" Ray stated

"Lucy can you hear me? Lucy?" Ellie called out

"I'll get a nurse" Ray stated excitedly running out

"Lucy? Lucy its grandma, can you hear me?" Ellie called out holding Lucy's hand

Lucy began to come around, her eyes slowly opened

"Grandma?" Lucy whispered

"Oh Lucy, Lucy, you're going to be fine" Ellie stated emotionally

"Where am I?" Lucy whispered attempting to lift her head.

"Don't try to move, you're in the hospital but you are fine" Ellie smiled

Lucy closed her eyes.

Sue Ellen sat alone in a coffee shop as a waitress poured her a cup of coffee. Sue Ellen thanked her and took a sip from the cup.

She looked up to see Becky standing by her table

"Hello Becky" Sue Ellen smiled

"Sue Ellen" Becky replied

"I'm pleased you agreed to meet me" Sue Ellen stated as Becky sat down

"I don't want to fight with you Sue Ellen" Becky expressed

Sue Ellen nodded "I agree, I just wanted us to talk" she explained

"Well Iv been thinking, Iv done a lot of that, thinking about you, John Ross and his family, and you were right" Becky stated as the waitress interrupted and asked Becky for her order

"Just a latte, thanks" Becky replied

"You were right, John Ross didn't have a religious bone in his body, I felt it was right we held a church ceremony but on reflection, you were right, it should take place at Southfork, so you have my blessing Sue Ellen, you can arrange that, I know how John Ross loved Southfork" Becky tries not to cry "I'm sorry"

"It's not easy for you is it?" Sue Ellen

Becky shook her head "No, do you mind?" she asked taking out a cigarette

Sue Ellen looked surprised "Is that a good idea, after what you told us, about the baby?"

"No its not wise, but I don't need a lecture right now, I'm dealing with all of this one step at a time" Becky stated lighting up

"I want to help you, I want to find a way to support you" Sue Ellen explained

"Oh please Sue Ellen, don't patronize me, you don't care about me or how I feel, you only care about what you want and that's my child" Becky stated

"I know John Ross loved you and despite everything I know you loved him too and of course I want to know my grandchild but that doesn't mean I can't help" Sue Ellen explained

"Well, I'm surprised I'm not number one on your suspect list" Becky blurted out bluntly

"What?" Sue Ellen asked confused by the statement

Becky was taken back by Sue Ellen's question

"You don't know?" Becky asked

"Know what? What are you talking about?" Sue Ellen asked

"Sorry Sue Ellen I thought you must of known, the Police paid me a visit this morning, they think the chopper going down was no accident, they've opened a murder enquiry" Becky explained

Sue Ellen dropped her coffee in shock which shattered to the floor.
