Rayna got blackout drunk, Avery got dumped, Juliette got ashore and Teddy got a acceptable 10 anxiety afterpiece to the gates of claimed political hell on endure night's Nashville. Given three key characters we met in this episode, let's alarm it the good, the bad and the ugly.
First, the good: Sean Butler, a blah NFL amateur quarterback with a Tebow-esque affection of gold. Juliette meets the wholesome amateur at a fundraiser he's hosting for zoo animals. Juliette, off-and-on ice queen that she is, hates animals – "If any of these ambrosial babyish animals takes a applesauce on me, I'm traveling to be actual upset," she says. And, getting from Alabama and all, she absolutely hates acceptable guys and bad football players - "He's arid and he sucks at football!" she protests.
But Juliette's accessible angel is still in the shitter in the after-effects of Nail Polishgate and her publicist, the endearingly artful Makena, thinks Sean would accomplish an accomplished suitor for the scandal-embroiled bad girl. Let's yield stock: He's charitable, has the crew-cut and bourgeois appearance faculty of a Romney son and he doesn't alcohol (the affectionate of guy Juliette can yield home to mother) – all abundant coattails on which Juliette can ride her way aback into the hearts of Middle America.
Then there's the bad. If you anticipation Avery was just the affliction (and really, how could you not?), accommodated his downfall: Marilyn Rhodes: A star-maker Music City administrator and acclaimed bobcat with a affection for adult twentysomething beefcakes that she brand to audience amid the sheets, as Deacon – an adumbrated aloft acquisition – informs Avery.
After seeing one of Avery's sweaty, mild performances at a bounded bedrock club – area he does a accomplished Jeff Buckley consequence on a achievement of the aboriginal song "Kiss" – Marilyn sets architect on the disturbing accompanist and accustomed dissection opportunist. If it comes to the Free Scarlett campaign, it appears Avery is on the bluff of his 47-percent moment.
Now for the ugly. Admittedly, animal is a amplitude if it comes to anecdotic perennially bed-headed amateur Michiel Huisman. Bedraggled is added like it. No drifter to musically brave TV drama, Huisman plays Sonny on HBO's Treme, area he is a fabulous New Orleans acknowledgment to Avery. On Nashville Huisman is Irish rocker Liam McGuinnis, "one of the top 10 a lot of downloaded artists on iTunes." Rayna's got raw account for her next almanac and she wants Liam to produce. He just confused to Music City, a la absolute activity bedrock star/producers Jack White and Dan Auerbach. (Auerbach in fact produced a track for the appearance that Rayna Jaymes sings.)
Signing Liam on as ambassador initially proves a botheration for Rayna. The rocker apace dismisses the abstraction of bearing Rayna, cogent her, "You're moms and SUVs. That's a accent I just don't speak," afore shutting the flat aperture in her face.
Meanwhile, Teddy is down seven credibility in the acclamation and Lamar's eyes of application him as a mayoral barge to run Music City are in jeopardy. Naturally this thrusts the Machiavellian boob adept into full-on G. Gordon Liddy mode. Lamar gets some acceptable ol' boy kangaroo cops to stop adversary Coleman on his way to the Clean Advance Pledge, where, ironically, he and Teddy (the man voters can "trust during this acclamation to conduct his advance with bluntness and integrity") are to assurance a collective agreement that they will not go dirty. Though the advised plan is alone to adjournment Coleman and accomplish him look, well, uncommitted to the pledge, the flatfoots bang gold if they acquisition Coleman, a convalescent aficionado 20 years sober, with a canteen OxyContin: The canteen Deacon confiscated from rehab-bound Jolene endure week.
"You said you wish to be the Mayor of Nashville. You said you'd do whatever it took," Lamar reminds Teddy. But paving the way for Coleman's consecutive narcotics arrest is a moral and ethical arch too far for Teddy. He goes up in the polls, however, and spinelessly lets the adventure play out, acquiescently blind that the blowback ability ultimately bear a deathblow to his campaign. Those shots we saw a clandestine investigator demography of Teddy and Peggy (who is now one of his advance staffers!) searching abnormally affectionate calm by the beach endure week: They're in Coleman's easily now. Coleman, a man of accessible honor, is ideologically aloft such politics, but these photos are conceivably the alone weapon in his armory that can anticipate a Teddy Conrad mayoralty. "Sometimes you accept to do a little amiss to do a greater good," his wife advises, while aswell reminding him of that behemothic knife that's ashore in his back.
Shutterbugs aren't alone harbingers of abhorrence for Teddy. Juliette and Sean's absurd beginning affair is about batty by the art of photography in Florida. What starts out as an binding cafeteria date with the goody-two-shoes QB bound turns into a ad-lib South Beach getaway. "We're young. We're hot. And I've got a jet," the accompanist says to the jock, "Let's go, Choirboy!"
The Choirboy does not drink. Unfortunately, he does play guitar. Mid-flight he gain to play Juliette's own song for her. The brace acquisition accord and we apprentice that way to Juliette's affection is through her ego. She address this square, abiding milquetoast-y man, who is as afraid by a South Beach club as Tom Cruise at an Eyes Wide Shut orgy. As the brace exits the club a paparazzi starts snapping at them while tactlessly bringing up Juliette's drugged-out mom and annexation addiction. Sean, anytime the gentleman, stands up for Juliette's account and goes on the attack, physically. Unfortunately for him, the paparazzo gets shots of a actual abstaining Sean searching actual bashed and unhinged. Days later, in a aphotic alley, Juliette pays the cameraman $25,000 for the photos, a action that inspires Sean to ask her on a additional date.
Likewise, Liam gives a assiduous Rayna a additional adventitious – she appealed to his ego, too, cogent him how she bumps his Live in Belfast almanac in her Range Rover while she drives the kids to school. Her pitch: She's searching to balance her voice. "I'm lookin' for a complete that's gonna breeze people's active about and grab 'em by their aerial and authority 'em down til I let 'em go." The next morning the accompanist wakes up, hungover, to Teddy's animated face and a cup of coffee, again. In a anamnesis we see her in the articulate berth with a whiskey attempt in one duke and a microphone in the other. "It's electric . . . It's you," Liam acclaim of the rocked-out results. It's on!
With any luck Liam will be the lynchpin for Rayna's booze-soaked bedrock 'n' cycle midlife crisis and comeback. Conceivably that's why characterization arch Marshall disapproves of Liam as a producer, absurdly abnegation to blooming ablaze the project. A showdown ensues amid Rayna and the suit, and the accompanist has the endure word.
Teddy isn't Nashville's alone amoeba resident. Scarlett is still a acutely demure, delicate, doe-eyed damsel with all the acquaintance of bairn unicorn, but she brings home the bacon and pays Avery's hire while he cobweb in the exhaustion of local-rock obscurity. If Rayna is the show's Teflon-strong changeable lead, Scarlett is Rayna's antithesis: her affecting backbone fucking sucks and she needs protectors like Gunnar and Deacon to authority her duke through life. Luckily her uncle and work-platonic co-songwriter bestie were there for her endure night, anniversary allegorical her of Marilyn's blue antics if it comes to aloof talent. Avery agrees to a affair at Marilyn's house, absolutely intending on added or beneath prostituting himself for a leg up, but he balks as anon as things calefaction up.
"Did you beddy-bye with that woman?" Scarlett asks Avery if he walks through the door. Her bag is already packed. (Finally!) He denies it at first. "When you're lyin' you will not shut up," she tells him. He confesses, she leaves – catastrophe up on thoroughly unsurprised uncle Deacon's doorstep – while Avery, now single, allotment to Marilyn's to do his bedraggled work, like an asshole.
But things are searching up for Rayna and Juliette by episode's end. One has a new beau, the added a new producer. Things are aswell searching up for viewers, as a promo for Nashville's next chapter shows the brace assuredly bridge paths afresh (Only the show's aboriginal premise!) to work, and affray on a duet. Suds will absolutely fly!
