Brad Paisley ain't the alone Nashvillian who's having a bad week. The blessed application of airy sunshine that graced our admired casting of country characters on endure week's Nashville were accordingly short-lived. Endure night, we best up appealing abundant area we larboard off: amid the bedding with Juliette and Dante in a New York auberge room. The pair's post-coital pillow allocution is disconnected by a beating on the door. It's Rayna. She's gotta abolish the next night's appearance and tend to a ancestors emergency.
And in accompanying news: Lamar survived his affection advance (as predicted). "I have to be in appealing bad appearance for you to absence a show," he tells Rayna at the hospital. "I can see you're all abounding of piss and vinegar, so you have to be feelin' better," she counters. And she's right. Lamar absolutely looked afterlife in the face and discharge in it like it was a aide fucking up his lobster adjustment at the Palm. Lamar is a lion. Hospital gowns and EKGs be damned, the bed-ridden ability amateur is barking orders, calling for the active of his enemies and authoritative moves to get his baseball amphitheater built.
Inside the Music of 'Nashville'
Later, Lamar – fed up with not getting able to get a milkshake at a hospital he about owns – attempts to abscond. As RayRay, Tandy and the assemblage ascendancy him back, he spots Watty White in the anteroom and has a absolute meltdown. That's if Watty drops the affliction of the night: He was the abstruseness admirer Rayna's mom cuckolded Lamar with years ago.
The backstory: Mama Wyatt "wasn't simple on the men in her life," and the night of the baleful car accident, her accoutrements were packed. Four years later, Lamar bliss 16-year-old Rayna out of the house, and that's if Watty discovers her superstar potential, appropriately answer Lamar's acerbity appear her career. The adumbration brings ancestor and babe afterpiece calm in a affecting bedside scene, afterwards Lamar in fact has addition affection advance and about dies, again, but doesn't.
Tandy is active Daddy's diplomacy while he recovers, and apprehensive why assorted absent calls from Peggy pop up on his cell. Long adventure short, Tandy abstracts out Peggy leaked the annulment to the tabloids and tells Teddy. So, apprehend a additional suicide attack from Peggy next week.
Meanwhile, Rayna's absence throws the Barnes affected into upheaval, or rather, throws Juliette into a coast of prima donna tyranny. She's set to banderole their endure night in New York and, instead of accomplishing the animate affair – booking an opener or cancelling the show, as Deacon suggests – she decides to break the advance and extend her set by 10 songs. At soundcheck, she's conduct the bandage with the acrimony of Buddy Rich on a bad night or Casey Kasem cold-reading a dog's afterlife announcement. She and Deacon aboriginal get into it, and he calls her out and tells her how batty she's acting. To draft off some steam, she bounces to cartilage Dante on her bout bus.
Avery sees a one-of-kind, affectionate Juliette Barnes appearance if he agilely walks in on the brace mid-fuck, but alone Dante notices. What's Avery accomplishing there, you ask? Remember, as adumbrated endure week, he took a gig as Juliette Barnes' roadie. What's he accomplishing on the singer's bus? Getting hazed. As a "do what you're told guy," a aggregation above beatific him on a scavenger coursing to acquisition Juliette's in-ear monitors. Dante – who's apace risen from the role of Jolene's abstaining accompaniment to Juliette's consigliere – unilaterally fires Avery. Alarm it accord for the devil, but I in fact affectionate of acquainted apologetic for Avery. That makes Dante Nashville's latest love-to-hate villain.
Deacon, broiled up from his argument with Juliette, advance Dante down and lambasts him for cerebration he has the ascendancy to blaze Avery (who lives to see addition day). "I don't bethink the allotment of the affairs area you spiral about with your client's daughter," he says. Dante calls pot-kettle-black on Deacon and reminds him of his own Biblical history with Juliette. Backstage, afterwards that night's appearance – during which Deacon advisedly and passive-aggressively avoids eye acquaintance with Juliette as the bandage performs her aboriginal country/bossa nova hybrid, "Hangin' On a Lie" – Jules and the Deke get into addition affray row. "I don't charge your boy-toy compress animate all my abuse business!" he snaps. "Is it because you're not my 'go-to' guy anymore?" she snaps back.
It's not.
He's Rayna's go-to guy again. RayRay leaves him a circuitous message, and he rushes aback to Nashville to accommodate moral abutment – "I just heard something in your articulation in that message. It just articulate like you bare me." Awww. Nice knowin' ya, Stacey!
Jolene, on the added hand, is so cool anxious that Dante isn't her go-to guy anymore, she tries to accomplish out with him in Juliette's bathrobe allowance just as she walks in. So . . . Jules fires Dante as Jolene's abstaining companion, sends her aback to Nashville area a new one awaits, and hires Dante as her manager. Terrible call, Juliette!
Here's all you charge to apperceive about endure night's Gunnar/Scarlett arc: Scarlett closes her almanac accord and the brace celebrates with a abounding day committed to sleeping, blame and drinking. Gunnar, numb, is apparitional by his brother's death, and can alone feel joy vicariously through Scarlett's success. He hasn't accounting a song in weeks; she notices. She should apparently go attending up the words "grief," "depression" and "trauma" in the dictionary, bold she's heard of the dictionary, which is bold a lot.
Later that night, Scarlett and Gunnar accompany their acceptable ol' boy anatomy acquaintance Will for some honky-tonkin'. Afterwards Scarlett passes out drunk, Will takes Gunnar out for a acceptable time. Turns out Will is a crazy redneck and his abstraction of a acceptable time is antagonism to contrivance trains with his auto truck. On the aback roads, the brace almost escape death, but the acquaintance reminds Gunnar he's alive. It's affectionate of like a Springsteen song. Gunnar starts autograph again.
Last week: Love and Happiness
