Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

You guys rocked it. You ready to hit the road?

- Yes! -

I won't be gone long.

Luke wants me to write with Kevin Bicks.

He's also gay... and everybody knows it.

I'm being watched. They're law enforcement.

I'll look into it. Just stick to our story.

I was the victim of domestic violence for years.

I'm looking for a gun that could fit into a purse.

All those times you said my drinking was gonna kill me,

you were right... I got cancer.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry I hit you.

No. No, I'm sorry.

How long have you known?

Right before Christmas.

I'm not letting you leave me.

All I ever wanted was to be strong for you...

to be well.

Now I'm not.

Hello?

Rise and shine.

You got an interview with a blogger at noon.

Really? Um, can we do it tomorrow?

Uh, no.

We got to capitalize on the buzz from leaking your single,

and I called in a favor for this.

Okay. Can we just push it till later today?

Everyone's not rearranging their schedule

because you decided to go out last night.

Merchants... noon. Be prepared and be on time.

You forget something?

No, I was just checking in.

You've been gone for four hours, babe.

I know, but I still feel bad about leaving you.

Don't!

You kidding me? You're opening for Rascal Flatts.

That's amazing. You couldn't turn that down.

What if something happens with the baby?

I'm not due for another three weeks.

You're back in three days.

I promise you if something happens, I will call you, okay?

Just have fun.

All right.

Thinking about Caleb?

What?

That was his name, right?

Uh, Caleb, the guy from last night...

y... your boyfriend?

Yeah, it's Caleb.

He's not my boyfriend. It was a first date.

Uh... but no, I wasn't thinking about him.

What's got you so quiet?

You haven't put two words together

since we left Nashville.

We're going to Chicago.

Uh, last time I played that arena,

I ended up crying and screaming under the piano.

Yeah.

Crap. Sorry.

Hey, things are different now.

You're in a band with your friends.

You already played two big shows, so...

You'll be fine, all right?

I know.

Just, uh, I wish I could stop thinking about it, that's all.

Well, hey, want to help me set up

our band's Twitter profile?

We already have a Twitter profile?

Of course. We got to generate publicity.

Eh, we just need a photo is all.

Why?

Well, if you don't upload a photo, then you're just an egg.

And no one takes you seriously when you're just an egg.

Okay, do you want to do that now?

I like where your head's at. Come here.

- Come here. - What? What's going on?

It's a Twitter photo.

- Band photo. -

You ready?

1, 2, 3.

Mr. Mayor.

Albert. Been a while.

I must say, I never expected to hear from you.

Well, believe me, it's not a call I wanted to make.

But I know Lamar always trusted you

to handle his more... sensitive matters.

The woman who lives at that address,

believes she's under surveillance.

I need to know if she's right.

And if there's an investigation going on,

I want to know everything about it...

completely off the record.

Is there any other way?

That was great.

Thanks.

Really.

Luke: I knew you two would be the right fit.

Hey.

How you doing, man?

Better now.

I was down the hall, recording.

Thought I'd pop in, see how y'all were doing.

Glad I did.

It's not bad for my first try.

It's a hell of a lot better than "not bad."

That right there's gonna be

the first track to make it on your album.

Yeah, well, we had to pull a few teeth to get there,

but we did it.

Yeah, we did.

Well, I hope y'all keep doing it.

Now, listen, you got nine more tracks to go.

How about y'all take a crack

at a good, ol' country love song?

Kevin's the best there is when it comes to that.

Uh, yes, sir. Can do.

All right. Y'all have fun.

Let's take another pass.

Ah, Scarlett's been amazing.

I mean, she's got me on every alternative

or holistic thing she can find on the Internet.

Well, have you looked into that...

experimental treatments or protocols...

yeah, we talked about it, yeah.

Steve Palmer over at Vanderbilt... he's so hooked in.

He knows everybody.

Sweetie, I've been through it all.

- All over the country. - I've done it all, all right?

All that's left is for me to just... wait on this list.

Well, I'm gonna wait with you.

We'll be doing it together now.

I'm sorry, baby... no.

What do you mean, no?

I can't do this with you by my side.

Rayna: What do you mean you can't do it with me by your side?

I mean I've already put you through more than enough pain

- with all my mistakes. - That's behind us.

And I will be damned if I'm gonna drag you through

all the hurt and the disappointment...

look at the pity in your eyes.

Look in my eyes.

That's not pity.

It's love.

Don't you get that?

I'm sorry. This is how it has to be.

I made up my mind.

Well, you don't get to just make up your mind...

I do...

I do, Rayna. I do.

I know that comes as a surprise to you.

What's that supposed to mean?

You've made every other decision in our life together.

That's not true!

You chose to marry Teddy, all right?

You didn't tell me about Maddie.

You chose Luke.

This is my cancer. This is my sickness.

I get to decide this, and I'm very sorry,

but you're just gonna have to accept my choice.

- Hey. - Hi.

Sadie.

Hey!

Um... what are you doing here?

Uh, didn't I see you on "GMA" this morning?

Uh, yeah, yep.

I just, you know, flew right in,

I got to lay down some tracks. My producer's out of town.

Oh.

Uh... that was some interview.

Yeah.

I remember you telling me about your ex at the CMAs,

but, uh... didn't realize it was that bad.

It's not something I ever intended to make public,

but... I'm glad that I did.

It felt right, and now I can just try

and put it behind me and move on.

Yeah, well, I'm glad to hear it.

Yeah, thank you.

Sure.

Um...

I just wanted to say that, um, I'm really sorry

about the way things ended with... with you and Rayna.

And, you know, for what it's worth,

I really loved y'all together.

Uh, what can I say? It wasn't meant to be.

Yeah.

Well, um, I'm finishing up the album.

Oh, yeah.

So, uh, I should get back to it.

Yeah, yeah.

- It was great to see you. - Yeah, great to see you.
