Trivia
When telling Miss Ellie about his alcoholism relapse in Bottom of the Bottle: Part 1 (1980) and Bottom of the Bottle: Part 2 (1980), Gary says, "Sid and Karen Fairgate were really helpful." When Gary later tells J.R. that he has to return to California, J.R. replies, "Yeah, I guess I'd rush home too if I was living next door to a pretty little bundle like Karen Fairgate." This marks the only time that characters introduced in Knots Landing (1979) were ever mentioned in Dallas (1978).

Quotes
Kristin Shepard: [hospital parking zone] Alan. What are you doing here?
Alan Beam: I'm here to see the great J.R. Ewing flat on his back.
Kristin Shepard: I wouldn't go in there if I was you. He's heavily guarded. And his family's always there. I heard the police were looking for you.
Alan Beam: They found me too. In my Chicago hotel room. Believe me, it didn't take a lot of tricky detective work.
Kristin Shepard: Do they really think you shot J.R.?
Alan Beam: Who knows what they thought? Oh, besides the fact that everybody knew I had plenty of reason.
Kristin Shepard: And they had the power to bring you back to Dallas.
Alan Beam: Well, there's all kinds of power. The Ewings have plenty of clout. I'm surprised you're still here.
Kristin Shepard: [chuckles] Me too. But I guess... J.R. didn't have time to give his goons the order before he was shot. Are you still a suspect?
Alan Beam: No, I was checking into a motel room in Missouri by the time J.R. was shot, so I've got an ironclad alibi. Besides, Kristin, I figured you did it.
Kristin Shepard: I wanted to. He was so horrible to me.
[clenches jaw]
Alan Beam: Any idea who shot him?
Kristin Shepard: No.
Alan Beam: Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye. And I'm sorry the two of us were on opposite sides for so long. We could've made a good team.
[shakes her hand]
Kristin Shepard: Thanks.
Alan Beam: Listen, if you're ever in Chicago...
Kristin Shepard: I will.
Alan Beam: Oh, I forgot. Kristin... I forgot to ask. How's J.R.?
Kristin Shepard: [turns back from her car, smiles] He's doing pretty well.
Alan Beam: Oh, that's too bad.
[both chuckle]

Dr. Ellby's Hair

Between A House Divided and No More Mr. Nice Guy, Part 2, Jeff Cooper got his hair cut. Liked his hair better before, don't care much for the bowl cut. I really like his portrayal of Dr. Ellby though, he is mysterious and plays his character close to the vest.
