It's revealed that Cliff gave Nicolas 3% of Ewing Global and combined with the 48% they acquired gives them control of Ewing Global. Bobby, Christopher, and Pamela blame John Ross's greed for the loss but Bobby says the Ewings must work together in order to defeat their enemies. John Ross receives a message from J.R.'s business partners in the Middle East that he has failed to deliver the 48% of Ewing Global he promised them. Pamela must deal with the choice to either free her father or leave him in prison after receiving the land that Elena blackmailed Bobby for, the same land that caused the original blood feud between Jock and Digger. After showing him the deed to the land, which Cliff presumed his pardon, Pamela left him in prison saying his hatred of the Ewings was more important to him than his love for her and she also says she can never forgive him for blowing the Ewing rig knowing she was on board and killing her children. John Ross approaches the Rylands to make a deal and threatens to bring out their former prostitution Candace and expose their prostitution ring if they refuse. Judith refuses and leaves with Harris and Emma to a meeting with the Cartel. Judith tries to renegotiate Emma's deal with the Cartel saying she'll increase their drug shipments by 25% if they find and kill Candace before John Ross exposes their prostitution ring. Harris tries to get the CIA to help with his problems with the Cartel but his CIA handler says their goal is to have eyes on the mysterious leader of the Mendez-Ochoa cartel. Luis meets the leader of the Cartel and informs him they have taken control of Ewing Global but Luis is angry when told that Nicolas, who was mentored by the Cartel leader, will be running Ewing Global. The CIA handler tells Harris to renegotiate Emma's deal himself and that if the Rylands increase the Cartel's drug shipments to the U.S. the CIA will stop Ryland's trucks. Luis arrives at the Ryland mansion and reveals a case containing Candace's hands and tells the Rylands to increase their shipments by 50% or they will kill Emma and Ann, who are shown on video to have been kidnapped by Luis's men. John Ross meets Bum to get leverage on the Rylands to agree to his deal and Bum informs him that the flash drive John Ross copied from Harris was encrypted with software only readable from a CIA database. John Ross tells Bum to break the encryption and when the time is right he'll reveal the secrets on the flash drive. ||||||||
