The son of the evilest and most powerful man in primetime TV, J.R. Ewing {Larry Hagman}. Cliff thought he was the father of John Ross, since he and Sue Ellen had an affair. He came to the hospital to see "his" son. He told his sister Pam that he should be raised as a Barnes, not as a Ewing. Sue Ellen delivered John Ross early because she was a heavy drinker. She wrecked her car and John Ross had to be delieved by c-section. John Ross was kidnapped the day that he was to come home from the hospital. Bobby, Cliff and Pam managed to find Priscilla Duncan, the lady that they believed was at the hospital all the time. Priscilla told Pam she just had a baby, who turned out to be premature too. As Pam is about to leave, she hears a baby crying, odd, since the hospital records indicated that Priscilla's baby died. Priscilla insists that the baby is hers. It turns out that her husband left her, her baby died. Cliff takes a final look at the baby and leaves. Pam and Bobby bring Priscilla and the baby back to Southfork where Priscilla apologizes to Sue Ellen. Sue Ellen takes the baby and hands him off almost immediately to Mrs. Reeves, the hired nurse. Pam changes John Ross in the middle of the night and feeds him and cares for him when she is at home. Sue Ellen overhears her talking with Mrs. Reeves about how it's so unnatural for his mother not to care for him at all. JR and Sue Ellen fight about the baby and Sue Ellen's unmotherly love for him. Bobby tells Pam not to help with the baby so much, she is getting too attached. John Ross starts crying and Pam rushes up to the nursery, surprised to find Sue Ellen there holding him. Pam was sad and broken hearted, for now she has "lost" John Ross. Bobby reminds her that the baby was never hers. |

John Ross was sitting next to JR eating his dinner. He got up when everyone was talking about Jock and went and sat in Jock's chair. Everyone at the table turned and looked at the next generation sitting at the head of the table. JohnRoss was laughing and taking in all the attention. Jock was missing, but was believed to be dead. Miss Ellie decided soon after this scene to put Jock to rest , have the courts declare him dead and have his will read. |
