... and yet so untypical: the almost entire Ewing family taken in kind of hostage in the Southfork ranch by a pair of Texan losers in search for revenge for having their wives sleeping with J.R. and Ray! This is the kind of adventure you'll only see in some episodes of the two first seasons of that show. Never so much action and suspense will be provided in one single episode once the saga takes its definitive form around 1980. There's also here an good occasion to meet a young Brain Dennehy delivering a powerful performance as one of the betrayed husbands. The true nature of each character is revealed as well and for the very first time, Linda Gray gets a chance to impose a vulnerable character beyond the icy appearance. A damn good episode even Dallas-haters could enjoy watching .
