John Ross is bitterly scolded when the Ewings find the majority in their oil company, which he had to make public, is quickly acquired by juvenile video game magnate Hunter McKay. Realizing this must be Treviño's doing, indeed seeing to replace the man John Ross bribed, the Ewings must nevertheless pull together, only Pamela and Elena refuse. The CIA refuses the Rylands any slack, so the Mexican cartel drug king El Pozolero can instruct his lieutenant Luis to speed up the sale as the Mexican elections approach, to which end he resorts to kidnapping.
