This is the final scene from "Living Dangerously", the third season cliffhanger finale for the 1979-93 CBS drama "Knots Landing", which was a spinoff of the equally popular 1978-91 drama "Dallas". This was the 22nd and final episode of the third season (and 53rd overall). The episode originally aired Thursday, May 6.1982.

For the previous two weeks, recovering alcoholic car salesman Garrison "Gary" Ewing (Ted Shackelford) has been embroiled in a steamy affair with his gorgeous neighbor Abby Fairgate Cunninghman (Donna Mills), the sister of his deceased boss Sid. Sid's widow Karen (Michele Lee) has discovered the affair, as well as Gary's mother in law Lilimae Clements (Julie Harris).

They reluctantly try to keep it a secret from Gary's wife Valene (Joan Van Ark). But unfortunately, she discovers the truth for herself when Gary misses a party to celebrate the release of her book "Capricorn Crude", a book that contains a fictionalized account of all the Ewing family scandals. Gary is too busy fooling around with Abby to support Val in her venture, also upset at the fact that she's spilling all of the Ewing family tea. Karen confronts both Gary and Abby when Val walks in and sees the truth for herself.

This scene features Val returning to her and Gary's house to pack up her belongings as Gary rushes home to talk to her. She loads her stuff into the car and drives off from the cul-de-sac, with a remorseful, distraught Gary running behind, too late to stop her.
