He says Candice will testify about them trying to frame him unless she puts a leash on Harris.

Harris and Ann walk outside. She tells him she always felt unsettled in his house and he says he was weak and let his mom control him. She says he was one of the strongest man she knew.

John Ross asks her to not do anything she’ll regret.
She puts her hand in the pocket of her trench coat and tells Emma she loves what she’s wearing. She pulls her hand out and unties her coat. She’s also in the green corset. She asks if she can join them. She kneels on the bed and looks at Emma and John Ross then gestures Emma over. Emma takes her hand and kneels in front of her. John Ross is entranced. His wife and mistress kiss. Pamela touches Emma then she gestures at him to join them.
He looks conflicted, but then lust gets the better of him. He takes off his shirt and steps in between them. They both kiss his neck and then he kisses Pamela and then Emma. Elena pops in her diaphragm while Nicolas lies in bed waiting for her. He pulls her to him and kisses her.
Bo drives and smokes a joint. He stares at the lights of Southfork. Sue Ellen goes in search of more booze and finds some and pours yet another drink and then another. Bo pulls up out front. A fire starts in one of the windows of the ranch. Bo started it. He looks at it with satisfaction.
Pamela starts having a seizure of some sort and John Ross tells Emma to call 911. John Ross starts CPR on his wife while Emma is on the phone. Looks like she took some sort of pills. Emma has the bottle and talks to 911.
