Returns from 1996.[1] It aired on CBS on April 24, 1998, two decades after the original series premiere. Plot summaryThe opening scene is reminiscent of the shower scene with Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and Pamela Barnes Ewing from the original series, but with Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) entering and kissing Bobby. Again, this is a dream of J.R. Ewing's (Larry Hagman). Bobby and Sue Ellen now own Ewing Oil, and J.R., who seized control of WestStar Oil from Carter McKay (George Kennedy) in J.R. Returns, wants to regain the company. He applies for a loan to use in a hostile takeover but is declined because he doesn't have enough assets. Oil is discovered on Ray Krebbs's (Steve Kanaly) ranch. J.R. tries to use it as collateral for his loan, unaware that the Krebbs ranch is in serious trouble. Ray has been living in Switzerland with his wife Jenna for several years but is crippled by debt and has mortgaged his ranch several times. Unsuccessful at obtaining his loan, J.R. attempts to divide and conquer by destroying Bobby's and Sue Ellen's partnership. This tactic backfires when Sue Ellen tells him Carter McKay (who lost WestStar to J.R.), and his business associate Peter Ellington (Philip Anglim) have pitched a tip to Ewing Oil about a vast quantity of untapped oil. J.R. enlists the help of Jennifer Jantzen (Michelle Johnson) of Jantzen Oil to con a sale for Ewing Oil out of Bobby. The plan backfires when she slips and reveals her knowledge of McKay. J.R. narrowly escapes death twice. He hires a private detective to find out who is behind this and continues to plot his takeover of Ewing Oil. Jennifer Jantzen's conscience attacks, and she decides to start over with Bobby. The business and personal relationship between Sue Ellen and Bobby begins to crumble as Sue Ellen's aggressive ownership style clashes with his cautiousness and pragmatism. McKay reveals to Sue Ellen that the oil reserves are under Ray's ranch, and that as of that business day, he and J.R. were in the running to bid on them. The day of the auction arrives, and McKay's associate Ellington takes Sue Ellen hostage at gunpoint. He demands that McKay win the bid for Ray's ranch. After bidding reaches $50 million, J.R. backs off, but not before revealing the hostage situation to Ray and Bobby, who save Sue Ellen. Ellington then reveals that the kidnapping was his doing, not McKay's. Ellington was responsible for the previous attempts on J.R.'s life and shoots him. Sue Ellen, horrified, rips off J.R.'s shirt to reveal a bulletproof vest. McKay's victory is incomplete. He owns the ranch, but J.R. reminds him that J.R.'s father Jock Ewing ensured that the Ewing family owns exclusive drilling rights on it. McKay can never profit from oil drilled on the land and owns only the property. Bobby leaves with Jennifer for a break in Europe, and Ray happily heads back to Europe $50 million richer. Sue Ellen slugs J.R. for trying to talk his way out of his dirty deeds. He flashes a huge grin.....as usual. RatingsDallas: War of the Ewings ranked 42nd for the week it was shown with a 7.8 rating.[2] By comparison, the previous Dallas TV movie J.R.
