"Previously on "Nashville"..." "This idea of a midnight release is a risk," "I don't think we should be taking with your first single." "He wants you out." "This is the way it's gonna have to be." "There's not way around it." "You found this girl on the street." "That's why I brought her here." "You can stay, until we figure something out." "I'm pregnant, and you're the father." "You haven't even looked at the bloody appetizers, and guess what?" "I'm a father." "You're the best person I've ever known." "Please just say you'll try with me." "I want my next album to be a gospel album." "You took a risk." "Sometimes that pays off," " sometimes..." " It blows up in your face." "Nope." "Can't see it." "Then you're blind." "Watch again." "It just... it looks like nothing." "Like maybe you pulled a muscle." "If you weren't making me watch it," "I would never be able to tell." "Plus, you know how easily suggestible I am." "Plus, you're faking it." " I am not faking it." " You are." "Hey, how fast do you think that plane was going" " when you hit the ground?" " What?" "All I'm saying is, stay focused on the positive stuff, Jules." "All things considered, you're doing great." "Come on." "Glenn, I don't want to hear about how great I'm doing." "I want to hear about how great I am." "Okay." "You do not have to push yourself." " You need to just stick to..." " Don't start!" "I need a hit." "That is the only way that people forget a bomb." "I need to make a new album." "And it better be a mindblower." "You need to start looking for new songs." "And I don't want to be on a list behind Miranda and Carrie and Kasey and Kelsea and whatever." "I want number one pick of the best of what's out there." "And I'm gonna start writing songs too." "What?" "She's back." " Is that Damien?" " Yep." "What's he want?" "He's outside." "What's he doing outside?" " He's at the door." " What?" "Why doesn't he just knock?" "Ha, ha, ha!" "Can you believe it?" "We are actually doing this." " What are we doing?" " We're having a baby!" "Where's our little mum?" "There she is." " How are you feeling?" " Surprised." "Look, I know I shouldn't barge in on you like this." "But, guys, we can do this." "And don't get me wrong." "I'm not gonna interfere with your lives." "It's all gonna be about the baby." "Hello, Rupert." "I mean, theoretically, if it's a boy." "We don't have to decide that now." " Good." " I love you guys!" "I really do!" "Is anybody..." "Highway 65?" "Hey, Erika." "Yeah, it's Bucky." "Ha, yeah." "Deacon?" "Yeah..." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "Can you hold one second, please?" " What's up?" " Yeah, that was Erika at the Bluebird." "She wants to know if you might want to play a Writers in the Round tomorrow night." "Let me call you right back." "All right, thanks." " Tomorrow night?" " Yeah." "Colin had to drop out." "You know, I don't know." "I got Daphne." "I got this girl, I told you, staying with us... it's just... why are you looking at me like that, Buck?" " Wha..." "How was I looking at you?" " What?" "You think I should do it?" "Well, yeah, of course, if you want to." "I'll be honest, Buck, I haven't even touched a guitar since..." "Yeah, yeah, okay." "I'll call her back." "Wait." "Hold on." "Maybe I could get a babysitter..." "Well, I can bring the girls if you want." "You don't have to do... you know what?" "It's probably a bad idea." "I don't think it's a bad idea." "I think it's a hard idea." "You know how much Rayna loved seeing you play at the Bluebird." "She used to tell me she thought that was where you were most at home, artistically." "I just don't think she'd want you to let that part of yourself go." "I think she'd say something like," ""Hey, Deacon, you know, you're made of music."" "It's the thing that's always healed you." "And it's the best part of you." "And if you can gather yourself and make yourself do it," ""you're gonna be better off for it."" "Something like that." "That sounds about right." "Okay..." "Okay, I'll call Erika and let her know." "Hey, Buck?" "I hope you know I'm sorry as hell about the way things turned out around here." "I just hate it." "Yeah, I know." "Me too." "Bucky... thank you... for everything." "New chapter." "What if nobody even plays it?" "That could happen." "Or worse, what if they hear it and they hate it?" "Or what if they play it, and everybody loves it?" "I mean, that could happen too." "I really hope so." "I'm such a wreck." "Well, why don't you play that thing you were working on before?" "I think you were getting somewhere with it." "Okay." "Will you come sing it with me?" "What?" "What?" "Where?" "Radio!" " Put the radio on!" "Put the radio on!" " What?" "Wait." "What station?" "88.2." "They're playing my song on the radio..." "They're playing my song on the radio!" "My God." "Why don't you just say it?" "Say what?" "I wasn't gonna say anything." "Since you brought it up, what does it mean, "We're having a baby"?" "Well, he's the father." "Beyond that, I have no idea." "Great." "Can't wait to find out." "Hey, I'm flying without a net here too." "What am I even doing here, Scarlett?" "How do I fit into this?" "None of us planned to be here, Gunnar." "Not you, not me, sure as hell not Damien." "But it's not about us." "It's about the baby." "Yeah, I wish I could believe that." "What is that supposed to mean?" " I mean, it's obvious." " You think I wanted this?" "Again, how the hell should I know?" "Figuring out what you want would take a team of shrinks and mind readers working around the clock year in and year out." "And maybe, just maybe, they might be able to come up with some idea of what makes your mind work." "Or what the hell it is you want!" "Well, you're not wrong about that." "Nope, not wrong at all." "That's it?" "That's the best we could do?" "Where are all the good songs?" "We're out to every publisher in town." "There's still stuff coming in." "But there's a lot of people recording right now." "My God." "Am I gonna have to write this whole record?" " Seriously, do I have to do everything myself?" " Like I said, still shaking the trees." "You know, when I get back from Kimmel," "I want 10 great songs." "Yeah..." "For the time being, that's off." "It was next on my list." " What the hell?" " Well, the thing is, there's really nothing for us to promote right now." "You probably don't wanna blow an appearance" " until you have a record coming out." " W... w... wait, so you're telling me that they bumped me?" "Or you cancelled it?" "Let's split the difference." "They bumped me!" "?" "No, no..." "Well, at least you can get started writing right away." "Do you hear that?" "What?" "You really don't hear that?" "That is the sound" " of the door slamming on my career!" " Juliette, it's not that..." "And once that door closes, it closes hard!" "And don't forget that I'm a woman." "Our comebacks don't come until we're too old to care." "What about Travis Stroud?" "He's great." "He's busy." " I don't think he can jump right in." " Glenn, what's with your attitude?" "Travis loves me!" "He does!" "He loves me." "We have written some great tunes!" "You know, forget it." "Get me his number." "And I will call him myself." "And welcome back." "We are with Maddie Jaymes." " How's it going?" " It's going great." "Great." "So you and your sister have been singing together since you were little." "You've performed at the Grand Ole Opry." "And some gigs with your parents." " How does it feel to be doing it all on your own?" " Feels awesome." "You know, I mean, we still sing together." "And we write sometimes too." "So you wowed everyone at the CMT Music Awards with that heartbreaking rendition of your late mother, Rayna Jaymes', song." "Are you going to cover any of her other songs?" "Um, I hadn't planned to." "The stuff I'm writing is much more pop than anything she..." "Is it tougher to sing now that she's gone?" "Do you think about her when you're writing or performing?" "Um," "I'm not sure I really understand what you're asking." "Do you mean like in the moment?" " When I'm recording the EP or..." " Can you give us an idea of what it's like when your mother is a mega star beloved by her fans for decades?" "How it feels to try to fill those boots?" "Um..." "I couldn't." "Hurry up, girls!" "Time to go!" "What is on your face?" " Makeup..." " Nothing." "You can't wear that to the Bluebird, sweetie." "Come on, take it off." "I'm gonna be late." "Okay." "Can we just stay here?" "Because we wanna watch a movie." " No you can't stay here, honey." " Why not?" "Because your sister's not here and you don't have a babysitter." "I told you you're going." "Now let's go." "Wait, we're just gonna sit on that sofa." " And watch a movie." " I know where the sofa is." "I think he's afraid that I'm gonna steal something." "Or make you smoke or do drugs." "I won't." "Okay, seriously, what do you think's gonna happen?" "Think we're gonna burn the house down?" "I don't know if you remember, we tried that once." " And it didn't work." " Okay, stop." "Promise me, you won't do anything." "I will be back in two hours." "Your butts will be on that sofa, or else." "We swear." "My God." "That's Gary Nicholson, everybody." "Thank you." "Well, Jessie, now that you've heard the competition, you must be feeling pretty good." "The good thing about us is we're not that hard to top." "I don't know about that." "You're all in for a real treat right now." "Most of y'all probably know Jessie's music." "But you might not know, she used to be a real regular here." " Played here all the time." " I was... but I took a little break for a while, to go ruin my life, so..." " It's the country music thing to do." " Exactly." "Well, she's back and we're glad to have you here with your fellow train wrecks safe at the Bluebird." "Jessie Caine, everybody." "Thank you." "Thanks." "You know, I was awful sorry when I heard about Rayna." "Thank you, Jessie." "I know you two had a..." " complicated time too." " Yeah." "Just got to be thankful for the time we had together now, you know." "She was the love of my life." "I know." " It's okay." "You got him back on track." " Barely." "It's like the only reason he wanted me on the show was to ask about my mom." "How could he think I could even talk about it without completely losing it?" "It just makes me so mad." "You know, you don't have to keep subjecting yourself to this." "I mean, maybe you should let some time pass before you do this stuff." "Just let people hear your music, you know?" " No." " Are you kidding me?" "Why are they pulling us over?" "I have no idea." "All right, just be cool." "Good evening." "Do you know why I pulled you over?" " No, sir, I do not." " You did a rolling stop back there." "Back where, sir?" "May I see your license, insurance, and vehicle registration, please?" "You didn't roll through any stop signs." "My license is in my wallet." "And my registration and insurance is in the glove box." "Is it okay if I reach for it?" "But, which stop sign did we roll through?" "Because we didn't." "We stopped at all of them." "Honey, I got this." "No." "I just want to know which stop sign we rolled through." "Okay, I'm gonna open my glove box now." "This is crazy." "Why won't you answer me?" " Ma'am, please be quiet." " I'm just asking a question." "Why won't you answer?" "What's your business in this area?" " What?" " Wait." "It's in here somewhere." "What do you mean, what's our business in this area?" "What is that supposed to mean?" "Here." "We're being stopped by this cop for no reason." "What's your name, Officer?" " Look, Maddie..." " No." "I'm asking which stop sign we supposedly rolled through." "And he can't give us a simple answer." "Would you mind stepping out of the vehicle, please?" "Look, Officer, if it's all the same to you," "I'd really prefer not to." "People are starting to film us." "Why do you want him to get out of the car?" "For rolling through a stop sign?" "This is crazy." "Okay, Officer, I'm gonna exit the vehicle as you suggested." "I'm just gonna take off my seatbelt now." "God." "Why are you making him get out?" "Step over here, please." " Ma'am, please stay in the car." " You want him to get out?" "Why didn't you ask me to get out?" "Because he's black?" "Is that why?" "Because he's not driving a Range Rover?" "Why is there one rule for him and one for me?" "He did nothing wrong!" " Ma'am, do not come over here!" " Maddie, get back in the car." "If you don't comply, we're gonna be forced to restrain you." " Stop right there!" " This is insane." " He did nothing wrong!" " Get back in the car." " Stop." " Maddie, seriously." " Cuff her." " This is insane!" " Don't touch him!" " No just, wait a second." "Cuff her." "We'll finish this downtown." "Are you serious?" "Are you kidding me?" "No, ma'am, I'm not." "You're being detained for failure to follow my command." "You know, I think I was 15 the first time I heard y'all play." "I remember looking up to the stage, and thinking" "I really hope I find a love like that someday." " That's really sweet." "Thank you." " Yeah." "We were all pretty young back then, especially you." "Yeah, well, I sure as hell ain't now." "Good to see you back." "You been gone too long." "Yeah, and I'm sure you've heard all the reasons why." "Well, I don't much go in for gossip, so..." "Well, whatever you did hear, it was worse." " Divorce is not for sissies." " So I hear." "But what's done is done, I guess." " It's complicated, yeah." " Thanks." "Hi, sweet pea." "What's going on?" "You what?" "It was a complete joke that we even got stopped!" " Maddie." " He said we were rolling through a stop sign?" " Which we definitely were not!" " That is not the point!" "Don't do that!" "You're lucky as hell they didn't charge you." "Are you OK?" "Yes, sir." "Just a little shaken up." "Yeah, I shouldn't wonder." "I was just standing up for our rights." "That's not how you do it." " Travis!" " Girl, you are a sight for sore eyes." " There you go, baby." " Thank you." "Thank you for finding time to see me today." " Of course." " Congratulations!" "You've been sweeping up!" "I mean, five number ones in a year?" "I'm having a good run." "Glad to see you're back up and at 'em." "Well, you know, can't keep a bad girl down." " There's a song right there." " Let's write it." "I'm gonna start working on a new record." "I'm hoping you can share a little bit of the old magic." "I've got a few ideas I've been kicking around in my head." "I bet you do." "After all you've been through?" "If you can't come up with a song idea out of that, you might as well hang it up." "Hey!" "You're close with Rayna's daughter, Maddie, aren't you?" "Yeah, very." "I've got a song I think will be great for her." "It's pretty pop, so she sprang to mind." "But it's a stone hit if I've ever heard one." "Would love to get it to her." "What's the best way to do that, do you think?" "I'm happy to pass it along." "That'd be great." " I will send you an MP3 as well." " ." " All right." " Yeah." "Let's hear what you got." "Why can't you just tell us where we're going?" "Curiosity killed the cat." "I'm sure the cat died in a car accident." "Or of fright." "Wrong side!" "Wrong side!" "Ha ha." "Oops." "What'd you think of the name Rupert?" "It was my grandfather's name." "I mean, if it's a boy." "Okay, would you slow down a little bit?" "On everything?" "It's perfect!" "I already made an offer." "And there's plenty of room." "This way, I can be here for Rupert." "I really wish you'd stop calling him that." "I mean, if we're gonna coparent, it makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?" " You want to live here?" " I mean, for a while." "At least until we send him to Eton." "Every man in my family has been there for generations." "Come on." "Take a look around." " What do you think?" " About which part?" "I mean, this house?" "Rupert?" "Who's, apparently, going to go to Eton and play cricket." "And have crumpets, or what, a lot of little bottles?" "Cheerio governor!" "I don't know what the hell to think... of any of this." "My God!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Daphne, think fast!" "My God!" "Hey, Daph, can I talk to you a sec?" "Yeah." "Sorry." "Look, sweetie," "Liv is a nice girl." "And I know y'all are having a great time." "But I just need you to know that this can't stay like this forever." "Dad, she did nothing wrong." "She's helping." "I didn't say she did anything wrong." "I know she didn't..." "So you're gonna put her back in the streets?" "No..." "Look." "We know she has parents." " We know that now." " No, no, she doesn't." "She has two drug addicts that don't care where she is or who she's with." "Parents?" "No, that's not what she has." "We don't know her real situation." "You don't believe me?" " It's not you." " Fine." "Kick her out." "She'll go back to the river." "And who knows what will happen to her." "But you tell her." "I'm not doing it." "I'm not kicking her out." "I'm just saying she can't stay here forever." "We'll figure it out." "I'll talk to people." "We'll find out our rights." "We'll find out her rights." "Thank you." "My God!" " No!" "He did nothing wrong!" " My God..." " It's online." " What?" "This is insane What are you doing?" " Are you kidding me?" " No, ma'am, I'm not." "These comments are really mean!" "What?" " What are people saying?" " Nothing." "It doesn't matter" " what they're.." " Yes, it does matter!" "No, you don't read the comments!" "And you do not respond!" "Hello?" "It's on the news?" "You got the wrong number!" "Don't answer your phone." "Stop." "This is a nightmare." "And this... can be his." "I mean, the baby's room." "And it connects to this lovely little room for the nanny." "I know it's unorthodox." "But so is everything these days." "I really think this can work, guys." "I think I'm gonna check out the back yard." "This is all really overwhelming." "I know." "Scarlett, I am really ashamed of how I reacted when you told me the news." "Because it is great news." "And I'm really happy." "I wasn't contemplating being a father any time soon." "But we all have to grow up sometime." "I think you'll be a spectacular mum." "I've had zero training, so..." "It doesn't show yet." "I think this can work." "By this, I mean, this house, you and me, and baby makes three." "Are you asking me to live here with you?" "I'm saying if you want to." "If you want to start a real little family," "I think we can do this." "I think I need some time to think about this." "Of course." "Take your time." "Excuse me!" " Are you Clayton Carter?" " Well, who are you?" "Are you Maddie Conrad's boyfriend?" " Whoa!" "Excuse me?" " How would you characterize" " your relationship to Maddie?" " I don't know you, man, okay?" "I've never seen you before in my life." "Why would I answer a bunch of questions from a total stranger?" "Okay, so you're not denying there's a romantic relationship?" "Wait, what?" "No." "I mean, yes." "I deny that." "Look, she's just a friend, okay?" "Someone I play music with." "That's all." " How long have you known her?" " I said that's all!" "Okay, do you want to have a problem?" "Just keep on asking questions." " Yeah, but..." " Don't follow me!" "Meanwhile, Maddie Jaymes, daughter of the much mourned country super star," "Rayna Jaymes, was arrested last night after an altercation with police in Nashville." "Watch." "No, he did nothing wrong!" " Ma'am, if you don't..." " This is insane!" "Maddie, look, this whole thing can blow over in a few days, okay?" "We're drafting you a press release." "And we can go over it with you before." " You'll have full say on everything." " Hey." " Hey." " Hope I'm not interrupting." " Not at all." "We were just..." " I'm here to see her." "Right, yeah." "Sorry." "I'll see about..." " something." " Thank you." "Well, girl, you have made quite a splash." " It's so not funny, Juliette." " I know, I know." "It feels like the whole world is looking at you." "But do you feel like you did something wrong?" "No, I don't!" "That's the thing." "It just looks like I did." "If you feel all right about it, then great." "Own it." "Stand up and take whatever comes." "I know you have heard the expression," ""There is no such thing as bad publicity", right?" "Well, in this day and age, it's the truth." "I'm not saying it's right." "But at least you've gotten everyone's attention." "Now you just need to handle it with grace." "And it'll all be fine." "It really does not feel like that right now." "It is going to be fine, babe." "I promise you." "Okay?" "You busy?" "Hey." "Wouldn't you like to talk about all this?" "I think if you got something you wanna say, you should say it." "There's obviously something on your mind." "Please don't be short with me, Gunnar." "He asked me live with him." " I didn't ask." " But you wanted to, so I'm..." "And what did you say?" "I only want to know because right now," "I feel like a man without a country." "You want to go live in that mansion, go ahead." "You want to be with the guy, go do it, if that's what you really want." "But if it's not, tell me it's not." "Just tell me the truth." "You say that like it's not what I've been doing this whole time." "Such a simple question!" "Do you have feelings for the guy or not?" "Yeah." "I would be lying to you if I said I didn't feel anything for him." "And I'd be lying if I said I was happy about how all this came out." "But I don't know what's right anymore." "So I'm just trying..." "I know what's not right." "You got to give up something." "So just let me know when you decide." "Maddie?" "No, it's just me." "Is she not here?" "She's who I was coming to see." "No, she's not home yet." "How's she doing?" "Well, she, you know, freaked out." "Upset..." "Her life is basically over." "Yeah, I know just how she feels." "Don't we all." " Listen, what's wrong?" " Nothing." "Come on, now." "What?" "Tell me?" "It's really not a big deal." "Sorry..." "Damien wants to buy a mansion in Nashville so the three of us can coparent together until such time as the baby named Rupert goes to prep school and learns to play cricket." "And I swear to God I wish I was having puppies." "Because then I could give one to everybody." "And we could all go on our merry way." "It would uncomplicate things considerably." "A little bit." "How's that make you feel, him being here and Gunnar and all?" "How would you feel?" "I don't know." "What to say, or whether to be happy or sad, or just totally freak out." "Yeah, I'm right there with you." " You want a hug or something?" " God, no." "Anybody touches me," "I'll start crying and can't stop." "It's horrible." "Thank you." " You got any idea what you're gonna do?" " None whatsoever." "I actually think this is some kind of karmic payback." "I never understood when people would say they love more than one person." "I thought it was a load of crap, and..." "I guess I am that person." "Shows how much I know." "Joke's on me." "Haha." " How's Gunnar?" " Crushed." "I guess all you can do is just keep being honest with everybody, especially yourself." "Just let the chips fall where they may." " I'll have that hug now." " Gotcha." "How you holding up, baby?" " What else can I do?" " I know, I know." "The whole situation is so messed up." "Hey, thanks for always being there for me, Ruby." "Hey, you know I always will be." "I'll leave you to it." " Hey." " Hey." "Why'd you want to meet me here?" "Because there are reporters outside of my door." "I can't get home." "So sorry." "How did they find out where you live?" "I don't know, Maddie." "They followed me." "It seems like everywhere I go, people keep asking me about you." "More to the point, you and me." "What do you tell them?" "Look, I tell them we're just friends." "Just someone I play music with." "Is that true?" "Why would you say that?" "Because that's the way it needs to be." "What do you mean?" " Look, I can't deal with any..." " No, I'm sorry." "I'm really sorry, Clay." "I was not trying to start any of this." "I was just so mad at the guy who was pulling us over." " And I was trying to protect you." " Look, I know, okay?" "I know." "Have you ever read James Baldwin's book, "Another Country"?" " No." " You should." "We live in two different worlds, Maddie." "I get it, okay?" "I get it." "You were just trying to stand up for me." "But I could've gotten shot, okay?" "That's what I have to think about." "Not whether or not I did or didn't run through a stop sign." "But am I gonna get out of this alive?" "My God." "I just think, I need some time for now." "Are you saying you don't care about me?" "No." "Okay, I'm absolutely not saying that." "I'm saying if I care about you and you care about me," "you just let me by myself for now." "Sorry." "You been waiting long?" "Not really." " Can we walk?" " Sure." "I'm assuming you had some thoughts about my proposal." " Good things, I hope." " Yeah, I did." " It's an amazing house." " Isn't it?" "Yeah, and you're a really wonderful person." "You surprised me." "You're so much fun in all the best ways." "And I think that you really would like to be that guy who lives in that house." "And be a good daddy and a good whatever." "I would like to be that guy." "But let's be real." "You're not that guy, are you?" "See, this is why you're amazing." "This is why I think I could be that guy." "Because we haven't known each other that long." "And already you know me better than any woman ever has." "Still, you're... you're not that guy, are you?" "We don't know that, do we?" "Yeah, we kind of do know that." "I don't know." "Do we?" "All right, if we're being completely honest with ourselves, which I hate to be," "I suppose we do know." "Walk away." "Go." "Walk." " Scarlett..." " I said walk, not talk." "Go." "Please!" "Well, don't be angry." "It's not good for the baby." "I still love you." " Hello?" " Hey, Travis." " Hey, girl." "How you doin'?" " I'm good, thank you." "Listen, this is one of those good newsbad news calls." "I played the song for Maddie." "And she doesn't think" " that it's quite right for her." " Wow." "It's a hit, for sure." "I know, I know." "I was surprised too." "Because I think it's incredible." "I really believe in it." "So, listen, what if I record the song, and I put it on my album?" "If you think it's in your wheelhouse, do it." "Great, good." "I will have Glenn call." "When do you think you and I could write again?" "Soon." "I have to run now, but I'm excited." "Bye, Juliette." "Who is it?" "Can I come in?" " No." "It's okay." " Okay," " I'm coming in." " No." "That's not what I meant." "I know what you meant." "Come here." "I can't believe all this is happening." "I was really just trying to stand up for him." "I know that." "He knows it too." "No one else does." "They all think I'm this spoiled brat." " Come on..." " I know." "Disrespected the cops." "And they think I'm the worst." "And so does Clay." "No, he does not." "He doesn't want to see me anymore." "He thinks we should just be friends." "You know what that means." "Maybe it's not such a bad idea right now." "Just take a little break." "And let things blow over." "This isn't going to blow over." "He thinks I ruined his life." "And, honestly, maybe I have."
