Sue Ellen wakes up with JR's arms around her. She lays there for a moment as she remembers the events of last night. Neither she nor JR got very much sleep-partly because of each other and partly because of Kassidy. She gets up quietly to try to not wake up JR. When he hears the shower start, JR wakes up and goes to join Sue Ellen.
"JR, you startled me. What are you doing in here?"
"I need a shower too you know. What better way to get a shower than with the one you love?"
Sue Ellen grins seductively as she turns to have JR wash her back. She relaxes as he rubs her back and other places. She turns back to face him and sees that he is hard.
She grins at him and strikes a seductive pose. "Hot for me Ewing?"
"Damn it Sue Ellen. You know I want you."
"Well, whatya waiting for?"
JR leans back against the wall and gently lifts Sue Ellen. They take turns bringing each other pleasure. When it's all over, JR sets her back down and they step out of the shower. They get dressed and then to go wake up their daughter.
They knock on Kassidy's door and get no response. Sue Ellen knocks again.
SE: Kassidy, darlin', it's time to get up. I've got to get you to Southfork before I go to work."
When they once again hear nothing, Sue Ellen gets worried and opens the door. What they see truly shocks them both. Kassidy is passed out on the floor with an empty vodka bottle and a half empty whiskey bottle next to her. The room reeks of booze. Sue Ellen tries to wake her up, but she can't and starts to panic.
"Kassidy wake up! JR, what if she's dead?"
JR, fearing the same thing, but needing to know, kneels down next to them and checks Kassidy. She has a pulse and she's breathing. "She's not dead Sue Ellen. She just tied on one hell of a bender."
JR picks her up and lays her on the bed. He turns her on her side to make sure she'll be okay.
Sue Ellen breathes a sigh of relief. "Maybe I should call Southfork and say she's sick and that I'm staying with her today."
"That's a good idea because when she does wake up, she'll have the worst hangover ever."
Sue Ellen calls the office to say that she will not be in. As she hangs up with her secretary, they hear a knock at the door. Sue Ellen stays upstairs with Kassidy while JR goes to answer it. It's John Ross.
"Hey Dad, I came to check on Kassidy. Is she still here?"
JR sighs. "Yes she's here. We were going to take her to Southfork because she's suspended, but she's not going."
"She and Mom get into another fight?"
"No, son. Apparently she went on a bender last night after you left. Your mother and I found her passed out this morning with an empty vodka bottle next to her. She's upstairs in bed and she'll have a hell of a hangover."
"She's got a lot of alcohol in her system then. She had at least three drinks last night at the party. Speaking of which, I swear I will kill Luis for touching my sister."
"Stand in line. I'm going to find the slime right now."
"Let me go upstairs and check on Kass and I'm coming."
John Ross and JR go back upstairs to Kassidy's room. Sue Ellen looks up when they come in.
"Hey Mom. Dad told me that she's wasted."
"Yes she is. She promised last night that she wouldn't act out like that. I guess I'll have to do what your father did with me when I was pregnant with you…raid the room, get rid of the booze in here, and lock the liquor cabinet."
"I'll help you when I get back. By that time our daughter should be waking up. Meanwhile, I have some scum to get rid of. "Well, I'll help you when we get back, but first John Ross and I have some business to take care of. Let's go find this worm and make him pay." JR grabs his gun and they start toward the door. Sue Ellen stops them.
"Both of you need to calm down. I want this guy to pay too, but if you two go off half-cocked, someone could get hurt or even worse."
"Don't worry Sue Ellen. If John Ross and I aren't back by noon, call Southfork and have Bobby help you post bail."
"I will JR. You be careful and get that scum." JR kisses her then he and John Ross leave, leaving her to think. She had hoped that Kassidy wouldn't turn to drinking like she did, but now it appeared that her little girl was going down that same road. Sue Ellen goes into the kitchen to grab the aspirin and water that she knows all to well Kassidy will need once she wakes up.
When she gets back upstairs, she remembers that she forgot to call Southfork. She decides to tell them the whole story so that Miss Ellen and Clayton don't hear the news from some nosey reporter. She picks up the phone and dials the number. Miss Ellie answers the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi Miss Ellie. Kassidy won't be going there today."
"Oh…is everything okay?"
"Not really. I wanted you and Clayton to hear it from me and not on the news or anything. It seems that Kassidy has been getting herself into trouble."
"Oh dear, what kind of trouble Sue Ellen?"
"She's been acting out. Yesterday, she was sent home from school for cutting classes and drinking and smoking. Last night, she snuck out with John Ross's friend Luis. They've apparently been seeing each other behind our backs. Anyway, she went with him to a fraternity party. John Ross apparently found out and he went upstairs to get her. He walked in on them in bed. He brought her home and we talked for a while, then she said she was tired. We thought she went up to bed, but she actually had a bottle of vodka hidden in her room and she drank the whole thing. Right now she's passed out drunk."
"Good lord Sue Ellen. We went through the same thing with Lucy. I'm almost afraid to ask, but how did JR handle it?"
"He's devastated at Kassidy's behavior, but he's furious with Luis. Right now he and John Ross are on their way to 'take care of Luis'. He blames himself for the way she's acting. I think it's partly because of us, but she's also going through that wild teenage stage. I just hope she survives it."
"You said she's passed out drunk. You're taking care of her?"
"Yeah. When JR gets back, we are going through the house and getting rid of all the liquor and locking the cabinet. I never thought we'd have to do this with our little kitten." Sue Ellen is overcome with emotion and starts to cry.
"Sue Ellen, I'm coming over. You shouldn't be alone right now." Miss Ellie hangs up and tells Clayton what is going on. Bobby overhears and decides to go meet JR. He remembered this all to well. Many nights he and Ray would go out looking for Lucy or Sue Ellen and bail them out of trouble. Now it was Kassidy. Miss Ellie drives over to the condo where Sue Ellen greets her at the door. They sit in the living room, where she comforts Sue Ellen, reassuring her that none of this is her fault.
Meanwhile, JR and John Ross have arrived at Luis's apartment. Bobby catches up with them just as they are going inside. JR gets upstairs first and bangs on the door. Luis opens the door wearing only a pair of pants.
"Mr. Ewing, John Ross, what are you doing here?"
JR decks him one. "How could you touch my daughter you jerk!"
"I told you you'd pay for touching my sister. It's time to pay." With that, John Ross pushes him inside while JR shuts and locks the door.
"Well, Luis, don't you have anything to say for yourself?"
Luis gets bold. "Kassidy loves to flirt and make out with everyone. I'm probably not the first guy she's tried to get with. I'm just the first one who took her up on the offer. Face it, she's a little tramp."
At this, JR punches him in the mouth, cutting his lip. "YOU SHUT THE HELL UP BOY!"
"Nobody talks about my sister that way." John Ross kicks him in the crotch.
John Ross, Bobby, and JR take turns kicking and hitting Luis. By the time they are done, Luis has two black eyes, cracked ribs, and a bloody nose.
"Next time you think about touching my daughter or any other girl for that matter, I want you to remember this. Next time, we won't be so nice. You'll be leaving in a body bag. Got it boy?"
"Yeah I got it." John Ross spits on him as he and JR leave.
