So, the Ewing Barbecue is still going on. I told you these were big events, and now the shindig apparently has to be spread over two episodes. Still no one thrown in the pool, though, little bit of sadness there.
Sue Ellen, full of rage at JR (and that's how we LIKE her, people, quit making her fall back in love with JR all the time) has sneakily arranged for Kimberly, JR's current mattress conquest in his pursuit of Wilson Cryder and all that is Westar, to BE at the barbecue. Of course Kimberly and JR run into each other, and there is awkwardness, at least on his part. Sue Ellen smiles. We do, too. (And there's more to come, yay!)
Cut to April, sobbing her eyes out in her fancy, expensive condo. Nicholas Pearce knocks on the door (natch), they converse, and we learn that April is devestated at not being invited to the barbecue. She's upset about THAT? "I was invited last year!" she wails. Honey, you went last year because CLIFF took you. Cliff is always dragging people to the barbecue that nobody is interested in seeing. Do your homework.
Anyway, Nicholas ends up holding and snuggling with April, so I guess they're going to be an item soon, which is not good, because he really is a jerk. And how are they going to both fit in the same bathroom, with all the ginormous hair they've got between them? It will never work.
The barbecue finally winds down, presumably because the guests have realized that no one is going in the pool any time soon, so what's the point?
Cut to Cliff meeting Miss Ellie in a park. Cliff has pictures of Digger which he shares, Miss Ellie gets all wistful and crinkly, confessing that she really did love him. They babble on for a while, with Miss Ellie continuing to crinkle, and Cliff having some epiphany about the whole Barnes-Ewing feud being stupid. Well, it is, but you've managed to get 11 seasons out of it, so SOMETHING worked there. Don't be hatin. Cliff claims the feud is now over. Uh huh.
Cut to Kimberly wallering around in a giant bathtub full of bubbles, with JR on the side, sucking down champagne and plotting his next move. Sue Ellen calls Kimberly (GREAT timing, Miss Texas) and invites Kimberly and Wilson to dinner with Sue Ellen and JR. Kimberly avoids being electrocuted by dropping the phone, and accepts. JR quietly chokes on his champagne.
Then we have the actual dinner. For the fans of Sue Ellen/Linda Gray (and they are legion), it is one of her finest moments. She makes the other three at the table endlessly squirm, especially JR. It was delicious.
Oh, and Bobby tracks down Lisa, tries to be all he-man and threatening, only to have Lisa spill that she is going to win her case claiming custody of Christopher because she can prove that Bobby PAID for Christopher. (Which he did. Oops.) So this episode's freeze-frame ending is once again Bobby, looking constipated. See what happens when you don't have Pam around?
