Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

Wanna talk about this song?

I got a little studio time if you want to get in and lay it down.

Brand partnerships.

The best kind of integration is entirely frictionless.

All we are asking is that you give this a chance.

We need to talk.

Billy put together a tour for me.

You're gonna do this without even talking to me.

This is something that's been building in me for a long time.

- What about us? - I'm not breaking up with you.

- It's a tour. - I don't want you to leave.

Scarlett and I are taking some time.

I don't know what to do with myself.

You could play some shows with us. Or just come along for the ride.

Maddie? You awake?

Yes. I'm getting up.

We'll be late! Let's go!

All right.

Let's see if this'll work.

Do I have to wear this thing?

You'll be very happy you're wearing a wetsuit out there, believe me.

It's gonna get mighty cold when they turn the water on.

How do they not see it?

We cut it.

That dress is beautiful!

Do they have to curl my hair so much?

It really does not feel like me.

Oh, my God, you're like breathtaking!

No, no. That's the suit. I literally cannot breathe.

This is so exciting. Your first song is in a commercial.

Think about how many people are going to hear it.

- Yeah... ow! - Great dress!

God, look at your hair!

Cooper? Leslie? Miss Maddie Jaymes.

- These are for you. - Thank you.

We are so psyched that you are the face of Mascara 24.

Thank you.

And don't forget about the party tonight at Charlie Mae's.

It would mean so much to the New York folks.

Yes. Sounds like fun.

- Hey. Maddie excited? - Hey.

Yeah. I mean, I guess so.

She's never really done anything like this before.

Well, I think it's gonna be amazing. She'll get the exposure.

We get to keep working with the hottest agency in the business.

You would know all about that.

Deacon, come on, man. We've got momentum, okay?

Highway 65 has two nominations. We gotta keep going!

- We're going! - We're back on the map!

All right, we're on the map. We're going.

And so are you, I hear.

What's this about you playing the Opry?

Yeah. I might play the Opry.

Dude, you should.

I mean, you're being featured, man.

I think this would be a great thing for you.

You're always helping everybody else out.

It's about time you were the center of attention.

Thank you, San Antonio!

Whoo! Do you hear that?

You guys were amazing!

Polly, you always say that.

And I always love it when you do.

I'm serious. You really connected tonight.

You hear the audience? The energy was crazy.

Hey, guys! Can we not break the amps, please?

Sorry, Polly.

- Not good. Ah, thank you. - Your phone's buzzing.

- Babe! Hey! - I just got her down.

I think she's coming down with a cold.

Which means I'm gonna get a cold.

And I'm supposed to be in a recording studio.

Okay, listen... Everything's gonna be fine.

Just take some of those herbs that I left for you.

- Can I call you right back? - Yeah, sure, no problem.

My album will just be horrible.

Our child will have pneumonia.

You just go have fun.

She's gonna be fine and so are you.

Blow Cadence a kiss for me, all right?

I love you both. Don't forget that.

I'm so tired.

Why do I have to do this?

'Cause you're the star.

Daphne, they literally tried on

a million different dresses on me

and makeup tests.

And none of them were ever satisfied with anything.

Oh, my God, now I have to show you this suit

I have to wear underneath to keep me dry.

That is so cool.

- So cool? - Yes.

Okay, here we go. We're just gonna pour some rain on Daphne...

- No, Maddie! Maddie! Don't! - No, no, no...

You're having way too much fun in here tonight.

I'm having fun. Maddie's far too busy complaining.

Shut up.

Why do I have to do this, Dad?

Because, my sweet, you are the star.

- See? - They're turning me into this character.

It's like it's not even me.

I'm sorry, sweetie. It won't be much longer.

Think of all the people who get to hear your music.

Hurry up and go to your party.

And you, I'm sorry, my dear,

need to hurry up and go to bed.

Do you want to come to this party with me?

Maddie, I wish I could.

I'm just wiped out and I got more work

that I got to get through before I go to bed even.

Daddy, you work too hard.

You just need to have some fun. Just like you always tell us.

One fun thing did come up.

Really?

Yeah. I got asked to play the Opry.

- That's awesome. - That's cool. With who?

With myself.

- Like as a featured performer? - In the circle?

- Yeah. - What?

- That's amazing. - Oh, my God!

Well, it was real nice for them to ask.

Well, you're gonna do it, right?

I don't know. I got a lot going on right now.

Please go to sleep.

Please tell me you're not wearing that.

- No. It's not what I'm wearing. - (laughs)

Look at that face!

- My daughter loves you! - Really? Thank you.

You are so poised for your age.

Isn't she? Perfect girl. How are you holding up?

Just really tired.

Yeah, well, just hang in there.

I'll get you out soon, girl.

I'd like to say that we are incredibly thrilled

to have the young Maddie Jaymes

as the face of Mascara 24.

We hope this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

Welcome to the family, Maddie.

- Thank you. - Yeah, Maddie!

The CEO came out just for you.

- Congratulations. Yeah. You did it. - Thank you.

And now he wants to talk to me.

What could that be about?

- These people are so annoying. - I know.

I love your top.

Hey, what's up?

I'm sorry about this song of hers.

It tested great.

I don't see a connection with our mascara.

A tidal wave can't wash it off.

And how will people know that?

'Cause they'll hear it in the song.

They won't hear our mascara in the song.

Because the song is about a tidal wave.

At $800,000 a minute,

maybe it should be a song about mascara.

Maddie! Maddie!

- Sing us a song! - Maddie!

Maddie!

Maddie! Maddie! Maddie... would love to sing.

But she has a sore throat. So I need to get her home, you guys.

Yeah, you don't want her to get sick, right?

No, no. She will see you all on set tomorrow, okay?

- Feel better! - Perfect.

- What about you, Alyssa? - Oh, perfect! Come on, Alyssa!

Oh, no. I don't sing, you guys.

- I don't sing. - Sing us a song.

- No, I don't sing. - Come on, come on!

- Alyssa! Alyssa! Alyssa! - Why don't you just go?

We know everybody in Nashville sings.

I'm from Seattle.

- Okay, okay, oh my God. - (crowd cheers)

But... I'm only doing this because... margarita!

all: Margarita!

"You don't know me." The song? Okay.

No cell phones, okay?

I will throw all of them in the fountain outside.

Each and every one of them!

? You give your hand to me ?

? And then you say hello ?

? And I can hardly speak ?

? My heart is beating so ?

? And anyone can tell ?

? You think you know me well ?

? But you don't know me ?

? You don't know the one ?

? Who dreams of you at night ?

? Who longs to kiss your lips ?

? And longs to hold you tight ?

? To you I'm just a friend ?

? That's all I've ever been ?

? But you don't know me ?

? I'm out here alone and treading water ?

? The clear air tells me there's a storm coming ?

? Not afraid of the dark cloud ?

? Gonna wait it out ?

- ? Got me racing my heart now...? - Cut! Cut!
