Imponderables

- number of premises that are drastically altered due to cast changes and plot twists: 12

Given that Ray told Donna that she should live her life the way she wants instead of just being a trophy wife [44], why does he later feel that his manhood is threatened by Donna's success and she should stay home and bake cookies?
Given that Jock said he didn't want to hide anything from Ellie [53], why did he hide several things about his past from her, including the codicil he added to his will [105], and the European family he rescued in World War II [333]?
Given the fact that Leslie Stewart and JR pledge their love to each other [77], why is it that we never see or hear about her again?
Given that JR would never do anything that would hurt Ewing Oil, why does he jeopardize the company by getting involved in illegal activites such as selling oil to Cuba [127] and getting involved with BD Calhoun [232]?
Given Jenna's belief that 'a child needs both its parents', why does she hide Charlie's parentage from everyone, and why does she insist that Bobby has no claim on their child?
Given the fact that Bobby has always been a very faithful husband and generally good guy, why does he decide to marry Pam the night after impregnating Jenna? [191]
Given the fact that Jamie has been so honest, hard-working, and responsible, why does she leave her responsibilities at Valentine Lingerie to go hiking for a month? [243] - Thanks to AHN Jake for pointing this out.
Given Pam's devotion to Bobby and especially Christopher, why does she abandon them after her terrible accident, despite her injuries? [260]
Given Ellie's continued declaration that she 'could never leave Southfork' and that 'no power on this earth could drive her away', why does she leave for an entire season to go and live with Clayton in Europe? [335]
