Contrary to popular belief, "A House Divided" is the actual title of the episode that is mistakenly called "Who Shot J.R.?" Though the question is raised on this season-ending cliff-hanger when the oil magnate (Larry Hagman) is shot, the resolution would not be answered until several episodes into the next season.
As all are familiar, this installment has J.R. as his devilish best, ruining Cliff Barnes' (Ken Kercheval) intent on making a killing off of oil field Ewing 23, destroying former ally Vaughn Leland (Dennis Patrick), alienating himself from the members of the oil cartel, driving his brother (Patrick Duffy) and his wife (Victoria Principal) from the family home, threatening to send his wife, Sue Ellen (Linda Gray), back to the sanitarium, and running both his assistant (Randolph Powell) and his mistress, Kristen (Mary Crosby), out of town.
And all this is done in under an hour.
J.R. was definitely a ruthless businessman and Hagman played him to the hilt for thirteen glorious seasons.
