Bobby has a wife, and no one in the house of Ewing wants her there. Pamela Barnes is the daughter of the most hated man in Jock's history, Digger. This marriage of Bobby and Pam should have ended the Barnes-Ewing Feud, but it only served to escalate it.

Pam's brother, Cliff, is unhappy about her getting married to a Ewing. Cliff ends up with a document Pam was supposed to give to Ewing Oil.
