Nashville

Previously on Nashville...

There's nothing left for me here.

I got to start someplace else.

Maddie is never gonna stop watching you.

You have a responsibility here.

What is wrong?

I'm gay.

I'm sorry, Layla.

You think if your boyfriend found out about your mistakes,

he'd forget?

Tell me I heard wrong. I don't deserve you.

But don't make me be alone again.

And I was hoping to become your ball and chain.

You and me, Ray. That's how it's supposed to be.

I never should have taken it back.

I told you I can't be someone else!

Juliette, you are overreacting.

I'm just stuck being stupid, screwed-up me.

It's natural to be emotional when you just went through...

I'm terrible! I'm terrible!

I'm a horrible human being! I suck!

And if you don't see that, then you're both either liars or idiots!

Hey, let's all just calm down.

Juliette, what are you looking for?

A pair of scissors!

Do we not have a single pair in this house?

Thank you.

Do you need me to... No, I don't!

From NPR, welcome to a very special evening of music,

as we broadcast live

from The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, Tennessee.

So glad they're letting us film this.

I wasn't sure they'd be okay with us crashing their event.

Are you nervous 'cause it's national?

...including Don Schlitz...

Yeah, that's got to be it.

...and Sarah Buxton,

and maybe a few other surprises. Come on.

Listeners can tune in on the air

or watch via our livestreaming broadcast.

Well, either way, your life changes completely.

You realize that.

Yes. I'm aware.

I mean, this is marriage we're talking about.

You know how I feel.

I do know how you feel.

Of course, I'm the one who's gonna

have to live with the decision.

I may not have to sleep with your decision,

but we're all gonna be impacted by it one way or another.

I know. Thank you for reminding me.

As if I haven't been thinking about that all day.

Mmm.

I'll leave you to it.

Hey.

So...

I'm gonna come tonight.

I love you.

So you made up your mind?

Yeah, I did.

Stupid girl.

Stupid.

I hate...

So stupid.

A lot of artists that I respect have come through these doors.

And when I say artists, I mean that.

People come to the Bluebird

'cause they know they're gonna see and hear the real deal.

Three chords and the truth. Isn't that what they say?

Anyway, uh,

I'm honored to be able to tell you mine.

This is for my wife.

Luke Wheeler? What's he doing here?

I think it's for me. Can you give me a minute?

Hey.

Why can't you just let her be happy?

Why can't you?

Hey. Hey.

What are you doing here?

Well, my kids will probably sleep till noon.

I squared it with the nanny,

snuck away to be with the woman I proposed to last night.

Mmm-hmm.

I'm thinking it is official.

Oh, my goodness. It certainly is.

I tell you what.

I've been married before, been in other relationships,

but what we got...

It's damn near perfect.

I guess timing really is everything.

I guess it is.

Avery!

Avery! I know you're in there!

Avery!

I know you said you needed time to think.

Yeah, I meant more than a few hours.

Yeah, but I have been up all night, literally sick to my stomach.

I can't take not knowing where we stand.

Juliette, it's like 6:00 in the morning.

Yeah, but I need to know how you're feeling, what you think.

I bared my soul to you, and you just turned and walked away.

I was trying to explain to you why I am the way that I am.

I appreciate your self-awareness,

but it's a lot to ask of anyone.

You said that you loved me.

Don't you have, like,

some movie audition to get ready for today, huh?

God, how pathetic am I. I know your schedule better than you do.

Avery, I am so sorry.

I am so sorry.

You have to forgive me. Please.

I love you. I love you.

Please.

Juliette, I'm not trying to be mean, but right now,

I can't stand the sight of you.

You should go.

Okay.

I will.

Hey!

Hey! I didn't wake you, did I?

No, no. I was up early, anyway.

I was trying to pack the rest of my stuff.

Which includes that mug.

Thank you.

Is that a new song? I haven't heard that one before.

Yeah, I'm gonna debut it tonight at the Bluebird

at the NPR show that you're gonna be missing.

That's my pen.

Seriously?

Thank you.

You're gonna sing this at the Bluebird tonight?

I was thinking about it.

Did you think about the fact that Rayna's marrying Luke Wheeler?

Yeah, well, they ain't gone down the aisle yet, have they?

It might be time to move on.

Or move away.

I only came to Nashville to be with Avery,

and then those other things happened,

and now I can't go anywhere

without everybody knowing that I went crazy.

Nobody thinks you're... Seems like a pretty good idea

to move home to me.

And, like, what else do I do?

There's nothing left here for me.

That's funny, 'cause I heard

you had an uncle and a cousin here in town.

Well, I really don't know Maddie that well,

and you're going out on tour.

Maybe I am, and maybe I'm not.

Come in.

Hey.

Is that some kind of going-away present?

It's my overnight bag.

Listen, Scarlett.

I got to get the hell out of this town.

Can I hitch a ride with you?

You up yet?

I brought you some coffee.

Did you ever feel anything?

Did you ever love me at all?

Yes, I did. I do.

Then can you change?

I don't know.

So what do we do?

Camera crew is already setting up,

so I guess for now...

We got to do the show.

Hey. Thought I heard you playing.

I mean, I don't have any homework,

so unless we're not allowed to play at your house at all...

Hold on, okay?

Dad, she thinks you hate music.

I came up here because I wanted to tell you

I thought it sounded nice, that's all.

And you know what? This isn't just my house.

It's your house, too. Both of you.

All right, Daphne, can I have a minute with your sister, please?

Dad. No, please.

Look, I...

I know that it's...

It's been harder between us lately.

I just really wish

that you could share with me what's going on with you.

I don't have anything to say, Dad. Okay, come on.

You can't tell me that you don't have feelings

about everything that's been happening lately,

with your mom and Luke.

Honey, you can tell me anything,

and I promise you I'm not gonna... Dad, there's nothing to tell!

Okay, but that reaction suggests to me that there is.

Maddie, we cannot expect to have any kind of relationship at all

if we're not willing to communicate.

How am I supposed to talk to you

about someone I know that you hate?
