Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

This is gonna be huge.

I don't think I can do this. You can. You know you can.

I need to be lettin' you go.

So you came to me to find your voice again?

Sometimes you gotta blow up the box.

What the hell are you doing here?

I came to pick up my big brother.

Where's my guitar?

I'm gonna get it back for you real soon, I promise.

Hey! Congratulations, Mr. mayor.

Well, you just got all the girls following you around here.

This is my niece, Cy.

Hi. Hi.

Okay, please don't do that. No, no, no.

I quit.

?...What he had till it was gone

?You got the wrong girl

?'Cause I got your number

?You got the wrong song

?Everybody makes mistakes

?We can work it out

?Wouldn't it be nice

?You got the wrong girl

?'Cause I got your number

?You got the wrong song

?You got the wrong song?

?You got the wrong song, yeah

thank you!

Thank you, Dallas!

We love you, Rayna!

That is the third night that this has happened, okay?

They're acting like I'm not even there.

I mean, look, he's her guitar player. What are you gonna do?

So what? Is that some sort of excuse?

Okay, I'll say something.

But we gotta go. Your plane's waiting.

Just do me a favor. Please tell me that

I don't have to deal with her until the party.

Actually...

We're giving her a ride to Nashville.

You've got to be kiddin' me.

Rayna. Fantastic!

You killed it out there! I don't even know what that was.

Wow! Just the best concert I've seen in years.

Actually, since my last Rayna James concert.

Madison square garden, '09. Oh!

And this is Calista Reeves.

She's the president of countless records. Oh.

Oh, nice to meet you. Uh, she flew in from L.A. to see you.

Came to see her or me, love? Ah. Her, Liam.

I would love to talk with you, Rayna,

about what's next.

Oh. Well, I'd love to talk to you, but what's next for us

is we're about to hop on Juliette's plane

and fly back to Nashville

'cause Edgehill's throwing us a party for "wrong song."

It hit number one. Congrats. Thank you.

Well, you have a safe flight, and I'll be in touch.

Great to meet you.

Liam. See you.

Walk with me? Yep.

Oh, my gosh.

That felt good.

Oh, yeah.

She wants you.

Can't say I blame her.

Guys?

We got the plane waiting. Okay.

?This hand's gonna move... damn it.

What?

The damn thing keeps going out of tune. I...

I think the bridge is shot.

Where is your Gibson at?

I sort of, uh... loaned it to somebody who...

Loaned it to somebody.

That's because you're one of the good ones, Gunnar.

Well, you know what they say about the nice guys.

They finish last and...

Down a Gibson.

Not if we keep writin' songs like that, you don't.

Yeah, well, I just hope somebody...

Will do more than just put a hold on it

and cut the damn thing.

Or we could perform it ourselves.

Winter fest is coming up.

Yeah, you... you don't want to be going to that.

It's not your thing.

Why is it not my scene?

Avery's playing it.

Seriously?

Awesome.

I got you a $1,000 guarantee

for the belmont show tomorrow.

Hell, yeah.

It's a grand more than the last gig paid.

What's the, uh, party tomorrow night?

The number one party for the song

Rayna James and Juliette Barnes sang at the Ryman.

For you, it's a chance to meet

everyone you need to know in music city.

You giving Dominic a run for his money?

He may give you a car.

I'm giving you a career.

What do you think of the backdrop?

Want your picture in front of it?

You know what?

Lose the "the" and "band."

From now on, it's just Avery Barkley.

All right, guys.

Let's do this.

Has anyone seen my bean dip?

What's it look like?

Like a can that has "bean dip" on the side.

Calista Reeves.

Pretty big deal.

Yeah. She's one of the most powerful label heads in the industry.

Maybe the most powerful.

Well, I have to do my next record with Edgehill.

Well, she wants your next five records.

"Wrong song" got you back on her radar.

She loves what you did with it.

We co-wrote it.

"Co-" means "two."

"Co-" actually means "with."

Why's she on my plane?

Oh, right. 'Cause she can't afford her own.

I'm 3 feet away from you. I can hear you.

Can you?

That's interesting, 'cause when we're onstage,

y'all act like I don't even exist.

Oh, believe me.

We're both painfully aware of your existence.

That is my bean dip!

Guys, we are going back for a party.

Can we... look, just have some fun, for crying out loud.

I thought we were going back for Juliette's mom's court hearing.

Stop talking.

Hey. Have you seen this?

"The axe falls hard on guitarman Deacon Claybourne."

No. No, no, no, no. I know what I think about it.

I just wanna know what you think about it.

No... yeah! The article!

You think so? You think it's true when Cy says,

"we tried to give him a chance. It just didn't pan out"?

No! No, Carmen, that's what I'm saying. It didn't not pan out.

I caught the guy mauling my niece.

I said "no comment"

because I want her to have her own privacy.

She deserves some privacy.

I don't want to drag her into it.

Hold on. Listen to me.

"Letting someone go is always hard,

but watching him fall off the wagon, that's even harder."

You believe that? You think that's true? No!

I haven't had a drink in 12 damn years!

4,420 days, to be specific, if you gotta know.

Damn it!

You're home! You're home!

Hi, my girls! Oh! Okay.

How do I have three shin guards and only one cleat? Oh, no.

I lost a tooth while you were gone.

Lost a tooth and a cleat?

What is the world coming to when I leave town?

Good morning. Hey.

This came for you. Hey, kiddo.

Hey, go get dressed for school. Hustle up.

All right, breakfast in five. I have slaved over this stove.

Oh, my lord. What is this?

You know, you didn't have to sleep in the guest room last night.

It was so late. I didn't wanna wake you up.

Right. "Hope we get some time to talk."

For starters, you need your own plane."

Yes, I do need my own plane.

Should I be jealous?

I don't think so.

Oh, my gosh.

Calista Reeves. Countless records.

Oh, my gosh.

What's going on?

Well, clearly, she means business.

No, I'm talking about us.

I mean...

We're putting on a good face for the girls.

We're sleeping in separate bedrooms.

You and I haven't made love in months.

I mean, are... are we trying to fix things between us or not?

You know, I think we took this time apart to get some clarity.

And...

I don't have the answers yet.

Would you stop pacing, please? You're making me dizzy.

Can you just explain this plea deal to me one more time?

It's simple, jolene.

You plead guilty today,

and as long as you complete rehab,

the charges will be dropped...

And you won't have to set foot in this courtroom again.

That'd be a relief.

Deacon.

Hey, you good?
