His testament divides his shares between John Ross and Sue Ellen, but the lawyer also reads a codicil to miss Ellie's, which provides that the half of Southfork withheld from JR now goes to John Ross. The loss of Emma estranges Harris Ryland from his mother Judith, who decides to disinherit him, but breaks her neck during a bitter fight. Bobby agrees to sell the Ramos drilling rights back to Drew, but Cliff's henchman blackmails him to lay a bomb on the oil rig during a recall demonstration to get Christopher's methane project approved by the municipal board. John Ross obliged the adulterous key official so she can be blackmailed, to Elena's disgust with Chrostopher's help. The cousins find Pamela Barnes is on their side, Cliff refuses to call off the bombing when told she's on the rig.—KGF Vissers
