Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing in Dallas episode 2: Lessons part 2

Lucy rides to the mailbox on a snowy day. She takes a letter out of the mailbox, then burns it.

Bobby teaches Pam how to ride a horse. Ray enters the barn and orders a ranch hand to drive Lucy to school. Bob overhears and tells Ray that Jock told him to drive Lucy to school. Ray reluctantly and resentfully agrees.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing watches the procedings and asks Bob what is happening with Ray, then they go in to eat breakfast.

At the breakfast table, Ellie says that Lucy being away from the breakfast table can only mean trouble. Jock says that as long as Lucy goes to school, she is fine.

Ellie says they have to consider her grades as well. Lucy enters the dining room fashionably late, takes some breakfast, then leaves to get dressed. Bobby leaves to get ready for work.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing signals to J.R. that she has won the second round; Bobby is an executive.

After breakfast, Pam offers Sue Ellen a ride into Dallas. Sue Ellen refuses. Just then, Ray drives up. He asks Pam if he got fired. Pam says that is not the case. Ray says that he does not want to leave his job.

He asks her to put in a good word for him, which she does when Bobby comes out. Bobby and J.R. leave for work. Lucy gets into Ray's truck and they leave for school. Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing walks inside.

Inside, Ellie mentions to Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing "the sad charade of Lucy." Lucy thinks that she is fooling the family, but Ellie knows that she is playing hooky. She wanted a daughter, but after seeing the way Lucy has turned out, maybe it was not such a good idea.

Lucy was the daughter of the weakest of the Ewing men, and even the strongest of the Ewing men do not have the strength to say no to her.

Consequently, she is spoiled. She does not want to lose Lucy, but she wants to do something. Ellie thanks Pam for listening.

On the ride to school, Lucy flirts with Ray. Ray says that he is going to win today, but Lucy gets to him and they drive off the road.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing takes a call from Mr. Miller, Lucy's school counselor. Mr. Miller says that Lucy has been playing hooky. Letters have been sent home.

Pam vows to solve the problem. She drives to Lucy's favorite barn and catches her and Ray redhanded.

Pam demands that Ray leave and Lucy listen. Lucy says that she gets her "education" in the barn. Pam says that she will tell Jock. Lucy laughs.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing says that she is a Ewing now, and she cares about her. If she does not go to school, Pam will blackmail her. Lucy says no, then as Pam leaves, she reluctantly follows her.

At the office, Bobby asks Julie about J.R.'s powers of persuasion. Julie meekly says that J.R. is a very persuasive man.

She retreats to J.R.'s office. She tells him that Bobby is questioning. J.R. says make sure he does not find out the real reason.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing takes Lucy to Braddock High School. Mr. Miller greets them. Lucy pushes aside what he says and runs off to History. He tells her to see him after school.

After school, a student named Roger offers to tutor Lucy. Lucy wisecracks. Pam drives up. She becomes acquainted with Roger.

After they leave, Pam remarks that Lucy should hang out with people her own age, like Roger.

Lucy says that Roger is scum. On the way home, Lucy throws the school clothes Pam bought her out the window.

Victoria Principal as Pamela Barnes Ewing orders her to pick them up, and she does so.
