Gen Xers (and a Xennial!) who were too young to watch Dallas the first time (yet totally did!) rewatch the episodes, review, discuss, laugh and have semi-deep discussions about it. Warning: First season and a half has spoilers. If you‘re a first time watcher please be advised of this. If you don‘t want spoilers, please rejoin us in the middle of season 2 for a spoiler free and fun listening experience ;)

JR has some "insider trading" with Ewing Oil's investment in Asia. So, he gets a little sketch (like usual).
Cliff finds something interesting in Digger's old stuff.
Pam becomes obsessed with finding out info about her dead mother.
Jock and Miss Ellie visit Jock's first wife Amanda (cue "Amanda" by Boston") You'll have to play it mentally since we can't afford to pay for the rights to play it! LOL
JR rapes Kristin, and it's played as comedy. We have a lot of feelings about it.

Cliff is determined to get to the bottom of Skeletor's murder. Local police are pretty against it, as they obviously don't want to deal with any drama from the Ewings.
Digger is super sick, Lucy decides to date her Prof (OF COURSE SHE DOES!!!), and Miss Ellie has a day drinking date with a Matt Devlin while Jock is at home wondering where "all those women are!"
Sue Ellen finally decides to leave JR for Dusty. It's going to be fine. Fine. FINE! Nothing bad could possibly happen.............

Originally aired: February 15, 1980
Directed by: Leonard Katzman
Written by: Leonard Katzman
To celebrate JR and Sue Ellen's 9th wedding anniversary, Sue Ellen is planning to leave him. So, of course, she basically tells him straight out her plan (girl!), oh and she also throws a surprise anniversary party at Southfork. Kristin has NO chill about the party and if ANYONE was paying attention they would have noticed how pissed and jealous Kristin was acting! Schemes ensue! Also, Miss Ellie meets with Matt Devlin and he makes her feel... awkward. And they just can't figure out who that skeleton belongs to that was found on Southfork (we name him Skeletor). And Sarah falls asleep in the middle of the record! LOL JOIN US!!!

This episode should be named "Choices", since everyone is making a choice, not just Sue Ellen.
Ray: will he stay with Donna?
Bobby: will he start an affair with Jenna?
Pam: will she try to save her marriage?
Sue Ellen: will she leave JR for Dusty?
JR: will he say something hilarious and awful that will make someone want to shoot him?
Join us whilst we contemplate these choices and also randomly sing a lot!
