Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

He literally stole my spotlight.

Yeah, well, it wasn't as bad as you think.

Country is not ready for a gay star.

Your songs are great.

I'd like to put a few of them on my next album.

No. We're not taking her off life support.

We have to let her go.

Any time you need help, I'm your girl.

What'd you do? Just move in on him the minute I left town?

How dare you!?

I don't want to feel anything.

We're at the hospital, and our daughter is very sick.

- There's someone on the phone for you. - I don't care.

She said she doesn't care.

Hey.

The doctor said the injection site

might be sore for a couple days,

so... Here.

This should help.

It's you and me, baby girl.

Just you and me.

I think you should go to Natchez.

Baby, Beverly's house is small.

Scarlett can empty it out by herself.

It's not about Scarlett. It's about you, baby.

You and I, we've been through so much loss,

and I feel like when there's unfinished business,

like with my dad,

it really helped to go through all that stuff

and it helped me... helped me say goodbye.

Thanks.

Hadn't changed since I left.

Didn't think you'd ever lived here.

Oh, I stayed here a little while before college.

Slept on this couch.

Anybody coming to help you with this?

No, ma'am. It's just me.

Are you done with the butter?

- Morning, everyone. - Hey.

- Hey, Emily. - Avery and the baby aren't down yet?

Oh, rough night. Coffee's on, though.

Yeah, I'm still here.

- Ooh, sorry. - Go ahead.

I'll see you in 10.

Luke's gonna debut our song tonight in Atlanta.

- Congratulations. - Yeah.

He invited us down to the show.

Me and Kevin are gonna head on down there.

Oh, baby girl, what's the matter?

Pretty much everything. She was up most of the night.

- It's okay. - No fever, though.

Not sure if it's her ear acting up again or what.

I got to run, though.

Her, medicine's on the nightstand.

I don't want to be late first day on the job.

Okay. Good luck.

- Well... Atlanta beckons. - Oh, Cadence. Shh, shh.

I've always loved that town. You know what?

You got room in the back for one more?

Well, I just put my daughter

on a plane to go see a Luke Wheeler concert

- with her boyfriend. - Yeah. Maddie will be fine.

I think it's Layla you're gonna need to be more worried about today.

Layla will be fine. What are you talking about?

She can't still be upset about the whole Markus thing, is she?

Yeah, well, I wish that was the only

upsetting thing that happened at the Opry last night.

What? What happened?

It's like I wasn't even there.

Hey, I guarantee you it'll be a year

before that guy even gets an album out.

When yours drops in a couple of weeks,

all the attention shifts back to you.

Bucky said that Rayna still had a lot of thoughts

about my album, which doesn't sound good.

Look, your stuff is great.

Yeah, but she's Rayna Jaymes. She's literally a living legend.

Listen to me... the myth of Rayna Jaymes

is just that... a myth.

Just listen to her notes.

If you like them, take them, and if you don't, well, then don't.

I wish you didn't have to go to Atlanta.

Oh. Since when do you wear a tie?

Well, sometimes you got to look professional.

So, when's the wining and dining start?

Pretty much as soon as we land.

Now, I've lined up about a dozen

potential brand partners for us to meet with.

We're talking big corporate entities here,

so I hope you are ready to wow them

with the Luke Wheeler experience.

Oh, I'm an experience, am I?

You have been for me.

Now, let's talk about the C.E.O. search.

This is the short list I've narrowed it down to,

which we are vetting.

You never talked to me much about what happened at Deacon's.

Oh, it's nothing.

Some people just aren't who you thought they were.

It's so lame I can't stay the night.

My mom's just so paranoid.

She thinks if we stay in the same hotel that we'd...

We'd do it.

Shh!

It's not like we're gonna be alone, anyway.

Maybe we could be.

I cannot believe I fell for this tabloid crap.

I mean, I must have been out of my mind.

There's nothing going on between Avery and Emily.

I know them. They wouldn't do that.

I'm capable of anything, but they're better people than...

That.

So, I was reading this article,

about body language,

and the way their faces are turned

means they're having sex.

Do you even listen to yourself when you talk?

You are so funny.

I'm gonna go get my stuff.

Excuse me.

I have a messenger coming by

to pick up some legal paperwork for me.

Can I leave it with you?

- Sure. No problem. - _

Actually... you can hold off on that.

Nashville - 04x05 - Stop the World (And Let Me Off)

So, I guess we're gonna see Juliette tonight,

but I reckon we avoid her, on behalf of Avery.

Man, that's got to suck...

being in love with somebody who doesn't want you around.

Yep.

How about you, Gunnar? How's your love life?

- Any new girls around? - Or old ones?

You hook up with Zoey while she was in town?

Nah, she's dating somebody in L.A.,

but had a spark with Emily this morning over the milk.

We touched hands, and, well...

Well, if that's all that it takes, then I had a spark with Emily, too.

No, really.

- I think she's into me. - First of all, no, she's not.

Second of all, that's a terrible idea.

What's wrong with Emily? She's... she's totally hot.

- She's nice, she... - She's your roommate's nanny.

All right, forget the nanny, forget Nashville.

New trip objective... get Gunnar laid.

Over a month goes by.

She leaves town, changes her phone number,

doesn't take an emergency call from me about our daughter,

and now she texts me?

Yeah, I don't get it.

What is this, some kind of weird sixth sense?

I mean, does she know I signed the divorce papers?

Did you?

- I haven't set them off yet, but yeah. - Hey, what's up, guys? I'm Markus.

Whatever. I can't deal with this right now.

I got to go. Markus is here. I'll call you later.

- Okay. - Yo, yo, yo!

I am so sorry I am...

Wow... an hour late. My bad.

Yo. How's the baby, man?

Good. Good. Thanks for asking.

Listen, I am really excited to be doing this with you.

Please, dude. It's on me... seriously.

I can tell you're a no-B.S. kind of guy,

and that's what I want in a producer, you know?

So just shoot me straight,

call it how you see it, and we're golden.

Okay. I'm up for the challenge.

Cool, man. Want to get started?

- Yeah. - Huh?

- Hey, guys, I'm Markus. - Hey, it's Emily. Leave a message.

I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.

I don't know what I was thinking.

I just would really like to talk to you...

Or to Avery.

Dude!

That bag costs more than you make in, like, two years.

I mean, am I right?

I miss you.

Just call me back... please.

Everybody smile.

Okay.

I'm sending that to your mom

to show her what a good time we're having.

What time are we leaving?

We'll probably head to the arena in about a half-hour or so.

Is it all right if I get changed here?

I brought something else to wear tonight.

Yeah, it's fine. You can use colt's room.

Okay.

Hey.

I'm sorry... I don't mean to interrupt,

but I just got a call from Ethan Baker from Coca-Cola.

He'd love to have a drink with you downstairs.

Yeah. It's fine, Dad.

Just let us know when you're ready, and we'll head down.

Okay. I want you to head down the minute Maddie is dressed.

- How about that? - Yes, sir.

Okay.
