These are the final moments to "Conundrum", the 23rd (and 357th overall) and final episode from the fourteenth-and final-season that served as the series finale of the 1978-91 CBS drama "Dallas". This aired as a two hour special on Friday, May 3, 1991

After years of double dealing, cheating, wheeling and dealing, John Ross "J.R." Ewing, Jr. (Larry Hagman) has ended up alone. His mother is traveling the world with her second husband Clayton Farlow (Howard Keel). His father has long passed. He has lost Ewing Oil to his arch-nemesis Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercehval). All of his brothers (except Bobby) have left Southfork. Both of his wives (Sue Ellen and Cally) have left him. His sons John Ross (Omri Katz) and James (Sasha Mitchell) have left him as well. The ultimate winner has now become the ultimate loser.

Contemplating suicide, an "angel" named Adam (Joel Grey) shows up and takes J.R. on a journey of what life in Dallas would be like had he never been born. Some people had better lives and some didn't. At the end, J.R. feels that nothing has changed and he is still alone. Adam suggests that J.R. kill himself, but realizes that Adam would not get into Heaven. Adam laughs and explains that he is not from heaven...

J.R. then wakes up and sees Adam again with flashing red eyes in a red suti telling him to kill himself. J.R. put his gun to his head, just as Bobby (Patrick Duffy) returns home from taking his son Christopher to the airport, as he is going to go visit John Ross and Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) in Europe. He hears a gunshot and runs up into J.R.'s room. He is horrified by what he sees....and the show ends. At least until the 1996 reunion movie, "Dallas: J.R. Returns".
