    Saucy Southfork Antics

    TNT's Dallas defines some relationships: Sue Ellen loves her flask

    Elaine Liner
    Mar 24, 2014 | 11:11 pm

    The title of this week's Dallas episode is "D.T.R.," Internet-ese for "defining the relationship." And that's what all the characters tried to do, with most of the Ewings ganging up against J.R. and Sue Ellen's son John Ross (Josh Henderson) and his desire to drill on Southfork and "frack it dry if I have to" to get enough capital together to buy some arctic oil leases.

    Lots of relationships need defining around Southfork. Here are some that got DTR'd on the cable series this week:

    John Ross and his bit-on-the-side
    Emma Harris (Emma Bell) is the little ginger-blond temptress who conveniently lives across the hall at Southfork from John Ross and his new wife Pamela (Julie Gonzalo). Pamela is Cliff Barnes' daughter. Emma is the long-lost, once-abandoned-at-the-State-Fair biological daughter of Bobby's wife Annie (Brenda Strong) and her ex, Harris Ryland (Mitch Pileggi).

    John Ross is always DTF when he's around Emma, and wife Pammy so far is none the wiser. But after Emma's evil-eyed grandma, Judith Ryland (Judith Light, more glorious by the week), tells her, "Never let a man screw you for nothing," Emma convinces John Ross to cut her in on his big arctic lease deal. Then they fall back on the bed for a little personal frackage.

    Sue Ellen and her flask of booze
    Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) has been hitting it pretty hard for the past few episodes. Even with a blood alcohol level in the double digits, however, Sue Ellen's swellin' with good ideas for how to keep her kid, John Ross, from getting too powerful at Ewing Global.

    Using a bugging device planted in the cap of the bottle of bourbon she handed to the governor (Steven Weber) during a visit to Austin, she gets the goods on the kinky bedroom antics of the Texas Railroad Commissioner (Currie Graham), who controls oil drilling rights. "So what if you like to have sex with a girl dressed up like a dog? Nothing criminal about that," says the gov to the railroad commish.

    Oh yes there is, if that girl is a sex worker in a Swiss Avenue brothel operated by Judith Ryland. The commish resigns rather than be blackmailed, to be replaced in office by — wait for it — Bobby Ewing! Who promptly calls a halt to the fracking in his own backyard.

    John Ross is foiled again. Says Sue Ellen, licking her lips, "The family that blackmails together, stays together." Let's cross-stitch that on a tea towel.

    Emma and Annie
    Like Sue Ellen, Annie's pretty perturbed about Emma doing the horizontal two-step with John Ross under the same roof as his new wife and the other half dozen relatives crowded into the mansion at Southfork. So Annie tells Emma either to stop the affair or move out.

    Emma calls out Annie for her double standards of behavior, reminding her birth mom that she's a "lying ex-drug addict who shot her ex-husband." "Get out! Get out!" shouts Annie, who then bursts into tears, as she's wont to do. If face water were as valuable by the barrel as oil, Annie could buy Southfork and run them all off.

    Emma, as conniving a vixen as grandmother Judith, returns to Southfork later to offer an empty apology that weepy Annie accepts. Back Emma goes to the spare bedroom and her hot set of sheets.

    Christopher and Heather, the saucy filly down at the barn
    These two shared some smooch time after John Ross and Pammy's wedding last week, so this week saw Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe), Bobby's kid, sauntering down to the corral and asking Heather (AnnaLynne McCord) out for a drink. Over tequila shots they swap personal histories.

    Christopher's admissions are that he was on the high school basketball team and was head of the science club. Heather tops that by suddenly blurting, "I have a kid." She doesn't mean a baby goat.

    Judith Ryland and her son, Harris
    "I would turn you into a newt if I could," she growls, boring holes into her son's bald head with her beady eyes. Judith doesn't know that Harris is working with the CIA to break up a drug cartel that's trying to bring down the Mexican government.

    There's something about an encrypted flash drive holding all sorts of CIA banking secrets, but at that point in the episode, all I could hear was Judith Light saying the word "newt" like one of Macbeth's witches casting a spell.

    This week's episode was written by Aaron Allen and directed by Rodney Charters. Catch it in rerun at TNT online. New episodes of Dallas air at 8 pm CST every Monday, with a rerun on the cable channel right after.

    Dallas Bike Ride event will close down streets around downtown

    Dallas Bike Ride
    Dallas Bike Ride
    undefined

    Thousands of bicyclists are expected to hit the streets of Dallas thanks to the Dallas Bike Ride, an annual ride taking place on Saturday, May 17 that's anticipated to draw 4,000 riders.

    Described as a family-friendly celebration of cycling and community, the Dallas Bike Ride welcomes riders of all ages and abilities to cruise at their own pace past iconic Dallas landmarks including Reunion Tower and the JFK Memorial. It's a recreational ride with a festive atmosphere: snacks, drinks, photo opportunities, and live music along the route.

    The 20-mile ride is "car-free" because — just like the marathon — it blocks off the streets where it passes, and those streets include the most densely populated neighborhoods in the inner city/urban core: the Central Business District, Victory Park, the Design District, West Dallas, Kessler Park, and the Bishop Arts District.

    That means four hours of avoiding those neighborhoods if you are driving, since it begins at 8 am, and is anticipated to last until 12 pm.

    A course guide highlights the neighborhoods and times that motorists are advised to avoid.

    The ride will start at City Hall, then cross over to Victory Park, before heading to Uptown and Oak Lawn, then through the Design District, to West Dallas, before doubling back towards downtown.

    From there it will swing over to Kessler Park and Bishop Arts before returning to downtown Dallas where it will end at City Hall with a branded Methodist Dallas Finish Festival, featuring live music, a beer garden, and food trucks.

    • Downtown Dallas will be closed from 7:45 am-12 pm, along Ervay, Commerce, Young, and Marilla.
    • Victory Park will be closed from 7:51-9 am, along Houston Street and Nowitzski Way.
    • Oak Lawn will be closed from 7:53-9:35 am, along Cedar Springs, Maple Avenue, Turtle Creek Boulevard, and Oak Lawn Avenue.
    • West Dallas will be closed from 7:48-10:40 am, along Continental Avenue, Riverfront Boulevard, and Commerce Street.
    • Kessler Park will be closed from 8:28-11:08 am, along Edgefield Avenue, Kessler Parkway, and Colorado Boulevard.
    • Bishop Arts will be closed from 8:32-11:59 am, along Tyler Street, Polk Street, West 12th Street, Zang Boulevard, and Jefferson Boulevard.

    The specific streets and times are listed here.
