JR continues to work with Alan Beam to fool Cliff into running for Congress (and quitting the OLM) by fighting with him in public. This is catnip for Lucy who stalks Alan and asks him out. Alan sees this as his ticket to move on up to the East Side to a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Meanwhile, Cliff seems to only want to run for Congress to win back Sue Ellen. Sue Ellen who can’t let herself believe that Cliff actually cares, cause girl is doing the WORK in therapy!
Trigger warning: There’s a lot of chest hair in this episode.

S3, E05 The Kristin Affair
Kristin has her eyes on her big sister's husband, JR. JR is totally into a 19 year old having eyes on him. Sue Ellen is going to burn this whole town to the ground.
JR is also trying to drill for oil in the literal sense (in addition to the metaphorical one...). Since Cliff is cockblocking all his efforts in Texas, he decides to take the risk to bid on some oil fields in Asia. He's having some trouble raising the funds to bid though...
Pam finally tells Bobby she's pregnant, but only because she had no choice.

S3, E04 Secrets
Valene is back in town and Lucy does not give AF. Lucy is finally starting to be able to vocalize her issues, like: my parents abandoned me to a family that never pays attention to me and the only attention I ever get is from creepy old men who could be my father, yet, because of my Daddy Issues I continually have inappropriate sexual relationships with them! And... she is correct. I mean, Lucy doesn't put ALL those dots together yet... but she's really starting to see the light and we're proud of her! Of course, JR finds out Valene is in town. That dude is OBSESSED with her! WTF?! Meanwhile, Pam finds out she's pregnant about 5 minutes after learning that, because of a genetic disease Digger is dying of, Pam's baby has a pretty high chance of dying before it's a year old. They won't know if they baby is sick until it's 4 to 6 months old though. Heartbreaking from all aspects! So, does she take the chance or medically manage the pregnancy? Seems like something she should be talking to Bobby about, doesn't it? Nope. Girl just runs around freaking out and never gaddam tells him until she's forced to tell him she's pregnant because he knows her obgyn has called. SIGH!

S3, E03 Silent Killer
Sue Ellen's mom and sister Kristin come to Dallas to visit baby John Ross. While the Ewings are picking them up at the airport, Cliff is picking up his dad Digger. Awkward! More awkward is that both Digger and Kristin are being played by different actors now. At the Ranch, Kristin spends all her time eavesdropping and getting all the dirt on the drama happening there. What could go wrong? On the other side of town, Digger isn't feeling well and collapses in Cliff's new apartment. Digger sees a doctor for the first time in 30 years and learns he has a genetic disease that is killing him. Bummer is that both Cliff and Pam would be carriers, which means any child they had could have this disease, which often kills children before age one. The doctor tries to make them feel better, "Well, it's a good thing you didn't have any children yet, Cliff!" Cliff: LOOKS DIRECTLY IN CAMERA.
