Storyline

A bad storm blows into the Dallas area, along with a couple of strangers from Waco who look to get even with JR and Ray, who seemingly took advantage of their own women the previous night. With the hands off for the day to attend a festival in San Antonio, the ranch looks even more deserted when the only ones packing guns and giving orders on Southfork are the strangers.

One exceptional thriller episode...
14 April 2006 | by (France) – See all my reviews

... and yet so untypical: the almost entire Ewing family taken in kind of hostage in the Southfork ranch by a pair of Texan losers in search for revenge for having their wives sleeping with J.R. and Ray! This is the kind of adventure you'll only see in some episodes of the two first seasons of that show. Never so much action and suspense will be provided in one single episode once the saga takes its definitive form around 1980. There's also here an good occasion to meet a young Brain Dennehy delivering a powerful performance as one of the betrayed husbands. The true nature of each character is revealed as well and for the very first time, Linda Gray gets a chance to impose a vulnerable character beyond the icy appearance. A damn good episode even Dallas-haters could enjoy watching .
