In “Lifting the Veil,” a third-season “Dallas” episode, Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) enters her son’s bedroom, where John Ross (Josh Henderson) stands in front of the mirror, getting ready for his wedding.
SUE ELLEN: We’ve got to talk, John Ross.
JOHN ROSS: [Turns toward her, fastens his cuff links] Sorry I’m late, Mama. I was tending to some business.
SUE ELLEN: Is that right?
JOHN ROSS: In fact, congratulations are in order. It turns out the railroad commissioner has a few strange sexual fetishes he wants to keep under wraps — and I have him in my pocket. The shale play’s back on.
SUE ELLEN: I know you’re sleeping with Emma. [He snaps shut the box containing Pamela’s ring] All this time I was hoping that you wouldn’t make the same mistakes that your father did. Apparently the blood of J.R. runs too pure in your veins.
JOHN ROSS: [Walks toward her] I don’t know what you think is going on, but I guarantee you do not understand what I am doing. Or why.
SUE ELLEN: I understand the pain you are causing Pamela.
JOHN ROSS: She doesn’t know anything about this. And she doesn’t need to. Look, this does not change how I feel about her. I love her. This is just business.
SUE ELLEN: Just like your daddy, finding a way to explain infidelity. [Voice cracking] I will not stand by and watch you destroy Pamela like J.R. destroyed me.
JOHN ROSS: Is that alcohol I smell on your breath? Perhaps your drinking is making you forget your loyalties, Mama. [Grabs his jacket, puts it on]
SUE ELLEN: If you don’t stop doing what you’re doing, I’m going to tell Pamela myself.
JOHN ROSS: You have looked the other way you’re whole life, Mama. One more time’s not going to hurt. [Walks past her]
Dallas Decoder 
Amazing scene played by both LG and JH. I can’t wait to see more.
What do I think? A powerful scene, setting the stage for a “showdown” between mother and son.
I don’t think Sue Ellen should tell. The Ryland Trucking info & info against Jusith & Harris is paramount in terms of keeping Ewing Global strong.
