EPISODE 3
LONDON
Sue Ellen and Don were seated next to each other. It was really simple, actually. Once the divorce was finalized, the two of them walked outside together.
"I'm glad we're able to part as friends," said Sue Ellen.
"Me too," replied Don. "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too."
Looking down at the ground, Don said,"So...I guess this is goodbye."
Sue Ellen nodded to answer him.
"And you're really moving back to Dallas?"
"I suppose so. To be honest, I missed Texas...and John Ross is at that age where he needs to be close to his father."
"Goodbye Sue Ellen," said Don. Kissing her on the cheek, he continued,"If you ever need anything..."
"I know," interrupted Sue Ellen.
Alone now, Sue Ellen decided to take a walk. She didn't need to be at the airport for another three hours now... At a nearby park, Sue Ellen took a seat on a bench and reflected on her life. Why do I keep making the same mistakes, she asked herself. Every man she'd been with had cheated on her...in one way or another. She was always second to other women...work...the rodeo... She resolved then and there to never let a man that close to her again.
DALLAS
Sue Ellen settled on the couch and turned on the television. She had never felt so confused... What would she do now? She was almost certain John Ross would want to stay at SouthFork, not that she blamed him. He had Miss Ellie, Christopher, and...JR there. And who did she have? Her mother was God knows where... And, here she was...all alone...
EWING OIL
JR poured over the stack of paper on his desk. "Harv will have to go through this himself," he said aloud. Deciding to go home, he grabbed his Stetson and turned out the lights... Just as he headed to the elevators, the telephone rang. He started to let the answering service pick up but decided to answer it himself.
"Hello," he said.
"JR," said the voice on the other end. "It's me."
"Sue Ellen...when did you get back in town?"
"Just a few hours ago...Are you busy?"
"No darlin, I was just leaving when the phone rang."
"Oh...would you like to come over?"
