Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

I ended it with Jonah,

He's had six settlements with ex-employees.

I might be falling for you.

Is there something I'm missing here?

We met at the absolute

- perfect wrong time. - Alannah, don't.

- I'm pregnant. - And you haven't told him.

It's 104!

- Are you okay? - I've got this, honey.

It's not what you think, I...

Daph, you want to go with granddad?

Oh.

Get out of my sight. Go!

Y'all are up early.

Want me to fix you something?

No, I'm okay. Thank you.

Do you know where he is?

No. It's not our concern anymore.

He doesn't have anywhere to go!

Well, he spent his whole life getting by on his own, okay?

Believe me, that he can do.

Knock, knock!

Hey, Buck!

- Morning, everybody. - Hey.

Sorry to barge in so early.

I had some news I wanted to share.

Hope it's good news.

Well, I know you didn't ask me to do this.

But after you played at the Opry,

I started talking to some bookers.

I think we can get you out on tour.

- Who's the headliner? - You.

What? No way!

Yeah.

Pull the other leg, Buck. It's got bells on it.

Deacon, I'm totally serious.

The internet's expanded the audience.

Old guys are coming back in style!

Seriously, though, there's a lot of interest out there.

That is very kind. I just...

- Come on. What... - I don't know.

This is what you've always wanted.

Yes, but...

Maybe it's not the right time.

- You have to do it! - Okay.

Let me think about it.

What?

Am I doing something wrong?

I just can't stop thinking about you

strutting around onstage last night.

I knew I looked ridiculous! And you encouraged me!

No, you didn't look ridiculous!

In fact, it got me thinking.

Are you sure this little project of ours is done?

What are you talking about?

Even if we wanted her, Alannah's not coming back.

Avery might.

I'm not begging him to come back to the band, okay?

Besides, why should I be the one to make the first move?

Avery's like your brother.

In fact, he's your Eskimo brother.

And then there were three.

Ha-ha!

Come on. Don't tell me y'all are nervous.

So for this final round,

we're gonna shake things up a little bit.

Each of you will be assigned a song

and you're gonna have to make it work, all right?

No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Daphne, my sweet, this is yours.

Oh, here we go.

Yeah. I just wanna know why you've picked that song for her.

Why wouldn't I? It's a hit.

And it's so not her style.

- It's mainstream commercial... - Excuse me.

Whoever wins "Nashville's Next" better be able

to sell a song on the radio.

You know that, if she does that song, you're doing her in.

Darlin', I'm just giving her a chance

to sink or swim, all right?

- Jessie, hey. - Hey.

- How you doing? - Nice to see you.

- What are you doing here? - Um.

Just... picking up some assignments for Daphne.

Going to the parent-teacher conference.

Hm.

How's he doing? How's Jake?

He is going to Connecticut at the end of the month.

So I'm just trying to prepare him

- I'm sorry, Jess. That... - for that as best as I can.

I know. It's...

He's gonna be fine, I'm sure.

I'm the one that's being a baby about it.

No, you're not, you're not.

Well, I don't want to be late.

- Yeah, okay, mm-hmm. - Gotta go.

Uh-oh.

A Deacon call must mean there's a real problem.

Actually, I think we might have

a bit of an opportunity here.

I'm listening.

This is all coming with me.

Oh, dump it.

Knock, knock. Special delivery.

Hi!

Hi, pretty girl.

What... what's going on?

Em, you want to show Dave what we're planning in the bedroom?

Of course.

Go to Auntie Em for a minute. Thanks.

Is he with a moving company?

It's just in the planning phase.

Did you sell the house?

- Listen, hold on, and I'll explain. - Without even talking to me?

Not even a discussion?

Someone heard my press conference

and made me an offer I couldn't

- refuse. - Oh, so that's it?

You're moving away just like that?

Listen to me. I'm not going far.

And I'm not running away.

This farm, it has sheep, goats, big fields.

I mean, it's the perfect place for a little girl to grow up.

How far is it?

30 minutes outside the city... max.

We'll still split Cadence 50-50.

We will make this work.

I promise.

There's something you're not telling me.

Juliette, I know you well enough to know that.

Look, these walls just have too many memories.

I need a new beginning.

You understand that, don't you?

Yeah.

*NASHVILLE Episode Title: "'Beyond the Sunset"

I wouldn't know.

Well, if it's not? One thing, it's the other.

Still your daddy?

Well, it's Bucky this time.

He swung by and said there's been enough resurgence

in my music that he thinks he can put together

a tour for my old ass.

- That's the bad news? - There it is.

This is the piece you need to replace.

Look, I know it's not a tragedy or nothing, just...

It's not like I can just up and leave the girls

- at a time like this. - Time like what?

Daphne's 14, okay? Maybe when she's an adult.

Maybe when they both move up and out on me, I'll do it then.

What if the offer's not there anymore?

'Cause your future in plumbing doesn't look so bright.

- That's very funny. - Okay.

I've watched you back other people up onstage my whole life.

Yeah, maybe a part of me feels like

if I was supposed to make it, I would've made it by now.

Look, if you're worried about the girls,

I'll take care of 'em. You've done so much for them and me.

It's about dang time you just do you.

- Oh? - What?

Just the pot calling the kettle black, that's all.

When are you gonna get up onstage?

That's what I wanna know.

I literally just sang at a fundraiser

- unless I was that forgettable. - No. It was amazing.

Remind me that that's who you are.

That's what you should be doing every damn day.

Well, maybe if you do things for yourself for once,

you'll have some ground to stand on to get me to do the same.

Well, hey, wow.

So this is where all the magic happens, huh?

Abracadabra. Make yourself at home.

Yeah, it's quite the little artist garret

you got going on here.

Almost makes me nostalgic for when I was first coming up.

Almost?

Yeah, well, then I remember how much I like

Aspen and Kobe beef.

Is that what you came here to talk about?

No.

I came here to tell you that you are playing a gig

tomorrow night in Memphis, Tennessee.

Oh, I am?

Yeah. I'll come along. I'll show you Graceland.

And where in this scenario are we gonna sleep?

At the St. John!

Two rooms, of course.

Already booked.

How's it sounding?

You know, just a little auto-tune here, a little there.

- Shut up. - It's gonna be fine.

Don't worry about it. I'll fix it.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's perfect.

You're perfect. Stop it.

You know you're dangerously close

to enough material for a new EP.

- You think so? - Oh, yeah, I know.

You're gonna be out there

headlining your own world tour soon.
