Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

You guys are really good together. Should I be worried?

No, it's just music.

Truth is I am gay.

I don't think going on tour right now is a good idea.

I've got a finished album***

I just signed her to my label!

I needed this.

More than you need us?

You're going to prison, Teddy.

At least let me talk to my daughters.

He needs a liver transplant.

Your sister really is a lifesaver.

Still nothing.

I have some bad news.

We are here tonight live in the heart of Hollywood

at the red-carpet premiere of "Shenandoah Girl."

This movie marks the feature-film debut

of country-music sweetheart Juliette Barnes.

It's hard to imagine anyone hotter than Juliette Barnes

anywhere in entertainment tonight.

With Juliette Barnes' much-anticipated album

due out in just about a week,

country music is going to have to take a backseat

to Hollywood tonight.

Juliette just pulled up. Sounds good.

Was that Jeff?

Just checking in from New York

to make sure everything's going smoothly.

I told him you were perfect, as always.

Seriously?

Jeff's not even here,

and Layla's taking up time on my red carpet.

He's busy making sure you're the new face of Chanel.

That's not the point I was making.

You and I both know that having Layla here

just makes you seem like a bigger star by comparison.

Give me a break.

Jeff brought you on to my team

to fill in for him when he's gone,

not to stroke my ego.

And he brought you on to her team

because he's sleeping with her, right?

That's what I thought.

Unbelievable.

Whatever. They deserve each other.

Juliette.

Hi!

- You look lovely. - Thank you!

Well, you must be super-excited...

your first Hollywood premiere.

I am. It's a dream come true.

And the reviews, by the way, have been simply fantastic.

We're actually starting to hear some Oscar buzz.

Oh, my gosh. Wow.

I... I'm just so excited to be here

and celebrate everybody who helped make this wonderful film.

I just wish Noah West could be here with us.

Oh, that guy's off making another movie elsewhere...

Hi. But I'm here.

All right, now we're joined by the one and only Luke Wheeler.

It's nice to see you, Luke.

Good to see you, A.J.

And you guys are playing the staples center

as part of your tour tomorrow.

I got to believe you're having some big fun out there.

Are you kidding me? We're having a great time.

I-I'm so lucky to have Juliette out on the road with me.

And, hell, she's not only a big-time movie star,

but she's got an album coming out.

It's gonna make her country's number 1 artist again.

Just you watch.

On my label, by the way.

That's right... Juliette, you left the great Rayna James

for Wheelin' Dealin' Records.

Having any second thoughts?

Nope.

It's the best decision I've ever made.

Juliette! I love you!

You know what? I don't even want to respond.

We've been mired in legal crap with this girl for a month.

I'm done.

Luke can have her.

Okay, but the press is having a field day.

"Juliette Barnes disses Rayna James on the red carpet."

I don't care. I'm not gonna make this into a catfight.

Girls! Come on down, please!

I know. I just wanted it on your radar.

And there's a lot of chatter out there

about how you haven't said anything

beyond confirming she left the label.

I'll be really honest with you.

I've had to do a lot of letting go lately.

This one... gonna be real easy.

I know. I'm sorry.

Hey, um, sweetheart, do you have your soccer bag?

- Yep. - Okay.

Listen to me. I am done with Juliette.

I just want it to be official.

Let's just sign the papers, please.

Okay, well, Luke's lawyers are sending over

the final paperwork for her buyout today.

Thank you. Bye.

All right. Let's go see aunt Beverly.

Do you think she knows we're here?

You didn't. Right, mom?

Well, you know, what I had was different.

She had an aneurysm. I had an induced coma.

But I hope she does.

Yeah.

- Doctor's saying... - She's doing good.

Whole bunch of activity on her E.E.G. scan this morning.

What does that mean?

Means your aunt Bev is fighting.

She's gonna be back to us real soon.

Hey.

I'm sorry I spent the night last night. I didn't mean to.

You cannot keep sleeping in that chair.

I know. It's just hard leaving.

You know, I feel like I should be here when she wakes up.

You're still recovering. You got to take care of yourself.

I know.

Okay.

Let's get y'all to school.

- Bye, aunt Bev. - Bye.

- Bye, dad. Love you. - Bye, guys. I love you.

- Talk to you later, babe. - Talk to you soon.

Look, I get that you've been handling business stuff

while Scarlett's mom's in the hospital,

but this is like the third band meeting she's missed.

You guys gonna be ready to hit the road in a few weeks?

I mean... Is everything okay with you two?

Well, yeah, man. Of course it is.

Okay.

So we good to go for the session tonight?

I know it's late. Trying to squeeze it in.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh, working around Scarlett's schedule, but, uh...

- All right... - Should be.

We could always record the tracks separately,

like everyone else in this town.

No, we... we like recording together.

That's how we've always done it.

Okay.

- Thanks, man. - See you tonight.

Okay.

Gunnar. Hi. How was the meeting?

Sorry I couldn't make it.

No, no. No worries.

Um... How's your mom doing?

She's as good as can be expected.

Well, that's... that's good.

Uh look,

I-I-I know we haven't really talked

or seen each other in the last few weeks,

but we're supposed to get together tonight

and record for the... for the E.P.

I know.

Well, I was thinking maybe we could, uh,

come around here a couple hours before,

uh, listen to the track,

and maybe, uh, rehearse a little.

Yeah, sure. That makes sense.

I'll, um, I'll see you then.

I'll... See you then.

Who was that?

Gunnar.

Haven't seen much of him lately.

Or really at all, I guess.

What is that?

This is just a little something

to celebrate one month of living together.

Thank you.

- Yeah. - Hold this.

I know you love vintage.

Oh, it is gorgeous.

Thank you so much.

I just... I really wanted to say that, uh...

I love...

having you here.

And I love...

being here.

Good.

Whole family.

General admission tickets...

And good morning, sweet princess.

- Aww. - And now for entertainment news,

it was premiere night in Hollywood last night...

I didn't hear her at all last night.

Yeah, she only woke up once.

Juliette, you must be super-excited...

your first Hollywood premiere.

Hey, have you seen my glasses?

I am. It's a dream come true.

And the reviews, I should say, have been fantastic.

Son, stop torturing yourself, huh?

Of course, this movie

isn't the only thing you've got going on.
