Lucy (Charlene Tilton) is obsessed with winning her husband back, while hubby Mitch (Leigh J. McCloskey) is obsessed with making it on his own.
Lucy's photographer, Roger (Dennis Redfield), has an unhealthy obsession with her, leading him to begin stalking the model-wannabe.
Katherine (Morgan Brittany) begins her obsession with brother-in-law Bobby, which will come to a head when she mows him downin a couple of seasons.
Vaughn Leland (Dennis Patrick) returnsin his obsessive quest to bring down J.R.
And J.R. (Larry Hagman) continues, after a few missteps, to run over everyone!
Also, the writers were able to stretch out the absence of "Jock" (the late Jim Davis) by having the character noticeably absent & finally "announcing" his deathin a mid-season installment, thus opening the door for the fight for control of Ewing Oil.
"The Search" becomes a tribute to Davis, interspersed with clips from previous episodes that showcased the towering & much beloved actor.

Fabulous 5! - By: Callum G, 28 Sep 2006 A great addition to the Ewing Family saga is this new DVD Box Set release of Season 5.
This glossy drama just keeps on growing from strength to strength, & the hits keep right on-a coming. The opening episode of this season allows us to find out who the bodyin the Southfork pool is &in later episodes we say goodbye to a well-loved character plus welcome the addition of a fateful character who was to make her markin later seasonsin more ways than one.
Season 5 of "Dallas" treats us to some beautifully filmed episodes at both Southfork Ranchin Braddock & the Southern Cross Ranchin San Angelo which belongs to the wealthy Farlow clan - Clayton (Howard Keel) & crippled Son, Stephen 'Dusty' (Jared Martin). The Southern Cross is also the new abode for J.R.'s estranged wife, Sue Ellen & their Son, John Ross, but the question is - for how long, as courtroom battles for the custody of J.R. III soon get underway.
Don't be afraid to add this Box Set to your growing collection of Series episodes from this acclaimed Television Drama!
