	List of episodes

"Conundrum" is the title of the 22nd episode of the fourteenth season of the American television drama series Dallas. It is also the 356th and last episode of the original Dallas series. The episode was written and directed by showrunner Leonard Katzman and aired on CBS on Friday, May 3, 1991, as a double-length episode. Subsequent airings in syndication split the episode into individual hours, which raises the total episode count to 23 for the season and 357 for the series.

The plot of the episode mirrors that of the film It's a Wonderful Life, as J.R. Ewing is taken on a journey to visit what would become of the Ewing family had he never existed.
