TV show description:
This soap opera follows a young couple as they move to Williston, North Dakota in order to seek their fortune. It’s said that a millionaire is made every day in this town that’s been booming since the discovery of a huge oil reserve.
Tycoon Hap Briggs (Don Johnson) is a typical oil drilling Barron and a force to be reckoned with. In contrast to Briggs’ self-made image is his socialite wife, Carla (Amber Valletta), who is forever jetting off to the city.
Confronted with his legacy, he is riled by his heavy drinking college dropout son, Wick (Scott Michael Foster), who’s sense of entitlement makes him an undeserving heir.
Meanwhile, Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody LeFever (Rebecca Rittenhouse) are pursuing the American dream. They’re determined to succeed in a place that’s reminiscent of a frontier town during the gold rush — there are rowdy bars and no shortage of men easily making and parting with money.
Hap takes Billy under his wing with Billy’s drive and commitment reminding Hap of himself as a young man. Seeing someone take his place causes Wick to lose control and he embarks on a vicious campaign of hatred against those who he believes have wronged him.
Episode #10 — Departures
Christmas is a time for coming together, but for the Lefevers, it’s a time of difficult choices. Billy faces an ultimatum to either save his marriage by leaving Rock Springs forever or to stay in the oil game alone while Cody experiences temptation in the form of another man. With the Black Elks land deal slipping away, Annie and Hap consider doing the unthinkable – joining forces to help secure this once-in-a-lifetime oil acquisition. Fearing the fate of his son, AJ enlists Tip to help bring the child to safety. And finally, another father-and-son relationship is pushed to its limits when Hap and Wick finally lay it all out on the table at the Briggs Christmas Eve gathering.
First aired: December 10, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Blood & Oil TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
All the good shows get cancelled, while smut TV remains. Sad day for TV. Not worth watching TV anymore when all the really good shows get cancelled. I’ll just stick with HGTV, DIY network and GSN. All other stations can be dropped from TV!
I know I love the show. Everytime I get into a new show they cancel. Come on bring it back
Why ,why, why,why please,please,please, bring blood and oil back omg I and my family loved, loved this show please, please bring the show back. Thank you.

Family LOVED it! Bring it back!! it was the modern times “Dallas” as far as we were concerned!
WHY did they cut it after all!???
Great show bring it back.
Bring the show back, everytime a good show comes on they cancel it. They should have moved it to a better time slot.
Bring this show back, it was good and I was waiting for it to come back on
I don’t watch abc anymore because of the cancellation of blood and oil. They don’t have anything worth watching
abc needs to bring back the episode. Loved the cast great plot. Tired of all the reality shows. Don Johnson was HOT !! It was one of the best episodes I have watched in a long time. Its was better then Dallas !!!
Please bring this show back!!!! Go to another network if need be! We need more shows like this instead of more reality shows. It was a smartly written and had a great cast. Why get rid of something so well done?
I ENJOYED the show very much—–the anticipation of finding out who was going to get their “payback”!! I hope the show is RENEWED BY A NETWORK.
