"Who Done It" is the fourth episode in the fourth season (1980–1981) of the television series Dallas. The episode was written by Loraine Despres, and revealed who had shot J.R. Ewing (played by Larry Hagman) in the third season finale "A House Divided". The perpetrator's fate was revealed in the subsequent episode one week later.
For an eight-month-long period of media frenzy after the broadcast of "A House Divided" episode (wherein Dallas archvillain J.R. Ewing was shot by an unidentified perpetrator while working in his office), international oddsmakers created a set of odds for the possible culprits. The favorite was Dusty Farlow, who was Sue Ellen Ewing's lover (Sue Ellen being J.R.'s wife), with odds installed at 6:4. Sue Ellen herself was given 25:1 odds, as was J.R.'s mother Miss Ellie Ewing. At 4:1 were Sue Ellen's sister and her husband's mistress, Kristin Shepard and banker Vaughn Leland, who fell victim to a J.R. swindle. After Sue Ellen's fingerprints were found on the gun in subsequent episodes she became the favorite at 3 to 1 according to some oddsmakers, while others listed Kristin and Cliff Barnes as favorites (Cliff being J.R.'s rival from childhood).
