Cally is an abused wife, with three children having not met JR and ever left Haleyville to find JR.
EXTENDED / ALTERED SCENE. In this altered scene, instead of Cliff Barnes being married to Barbara Barnes, played by Tricia 'O Neil, he is married to Donna Culver Barnes played by Susan Howard. Their off- springs are younger, than portrayed in the actual finale.
In the shack, Cally grabs a shotgun and points it at her abusive husband Eb, when he threatens to hurt their children.
"EB LEAVE E'M BE!" Cally snaps.
Eb sees Cally holding him at gunpoint, but this does not deter him from attempting further abuse.
"Leave e'm be - Yeah I'll leave e'm be, until I've finished with you," Eb threats.
"You're never gonna touch them again."
"I am gonna enjoy this."
Eb takes a step towards Cally, but Cally opens fire and shoots Eb dead.
JR and Adam watch from outside.
"Oh my God," JR gasps.
"Now see, how different her life is," Adam adds. "And it's not gonna get any better."
"She'll be alright. It was self defence - he would have killed her."
"You're forgetting what part of the country we're in. Poor little Cally, is gonna spend the rest of her life in prison."
"Doesn't anyone have a happy life?"
"Sure...but you'll never guess who."
CUT TO CLIFF BARNES LIVING IN MANSION, HAPPILY MARRIED TO DONNA CULVER BARNES.
Cliff is seen walking down the staircase into the dining room, where his wife Donna and children, ten year old twins, Margaret and Cliff Jr await. JR is not so keen on seeing on how his arch nemesis life turned out.
"Oh no, not him please," JR moans.
Cliff kisses Donna and greets his children.
"Morning kids," Cliff smiles
"Morning Daddy."
"I've picked a lovely dress for tonight's dinner with the president," Donna speaks. "I think you'll like your tuxedo."
"I just hope I make good impression."
"I'm sure you speech will go down a treat."
"I hope so."
"He'll take one look at you and see his true successor."
JR observes.
"In his wildest dreams," JR sarcastically says.
Adam hushes JR,. "Shhh."
"Don't say that to the actual president."
"Can't believe the president is coming to our house for dinner," Margaret smiles.
"Who'd have thought ten years ago, you'd be so close to the White House," Donna said.
"And I owe the majority of that to you my love and our children," Cliff smiles. "I don't know where I'd be with you."
"I was hoping in the gutter and not owning my Daddy's company," JR grunts. "What does she mean so close to the White House?"
"Keep observing and you'll see," Adam suggests.
"Oh, Pam flying over from Vegas for the dinner?" Donna queries.
"I think so, although her job is very demanding as you know," Cliff responds.
"I miss Aunt Pammy, she's lovely," Margaret cheers.
"Me too," Cliff jr agrees.
" Lovely?! God you don't know half of it kiddo. Can't stand that Barnes Woman, never have," JR raises his voice.
Adam laughs a little.
Cliff looks at his watch.
"I'm sorry everyone, but I'm gonna have to start my day. I'm due at the club. Bye kids."
"Bye Dad," the Barnes children wave.
Donna walks Cliff to the door.
"Now, don't forget we're having the reception this evening, so you have to be home at seven o' clock to change into your evening clothes," Donna reminds Cliff.
"I'll be here," Cliff assures his wife, kissing her farewell. " I love you."
" I love you too," Donna acknowledges.
Cliff exits and Donna proceeds to the kitchen.
JR feels nauseous.
"I think I'm gonna throw up," JR tells Adam.
"Can at least wait 'til we get outside," Adam warns.
"Anyway, how in the hell did Donna end up with Barnes? What happened with her and Ray?"
"That's another story."
Cliff then meets with Politicians on a golf course, as JR and Adam watch on.
"How did he ever get to the point where people are afraid of him?" JR asks
"Owes it all to you," Adam starts to explain. "Without you to hate, he never went into the oil business - he followed his law career, the politics, very successfully, I well add."
"But, what's that got to do with the mob and him meeting Donna?"
"Since Donna was married to Sam Culver, who was once Governor of Texas and speaker of the house, he helped fund and support Cliff into his position of becoming Texas State Senator and when Sam died, Donna had a shoulder to cry on - I think you'll understand the rest."
"But, how come she never met Ray Krebbs?"
"Later. Want to see where Cliff works?"
CUT TO WHITE HOUSE.
Cliff is referred as Mr Vice President by one of his guards.
"Mr vice president?" JR frowns.
"Not the same old Cliff Barnes is he?" Adam notes.
BARNES RESIDENCE
A house keeper approaches Cliff and Donna.
"Mr Barnes, its a phone call for you it's urgent."
"That's either Pam, not being able to make it or the President is stuck in traffic," Cliff guesses.
Cliff picks up the phone
"Hello?...I'll be right there."
"Cliff, what is it?" Donna worries.
"That was the chief of staff, the president has just had a stroke. As of now - I am the acting president of the United States.
