Nashville

Previously on "Nashville"...

- So he's your boyfriend? - Why do you care?

Well, you two must not be from around here.

He's talking to you, Nancy.

Uhh!

I just found out I'm gonna be playing

- in that festival. - That's so awesome.

Pull Deacon Claybourne's name from the list of performers.

If we really are a thing, we have to tell Scarlett.

I can't believe I'm in this battle with Jeff.

You guaranteed me a buyout,

and unfortunately, you failed to deliver.

Well, would you like to know

why Charlie and Olivia Wentworth split up?

Two words... Juliette Barnes.

- (Camera shutters clicking) - What you're doing for the city is just so great.

You can say that to Mayor Conrad.

It was all his idea.

Yeah, well, none of this would have come together

without Juliette's hard work.

She's wonderful, isn't she?

And, thank you, Councilwoman Burke.

- I appreciate it. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- (Man) Thank you, guys. Thank you. - Hey, listen, I really do mean that.

Thank you for all of this.

If you hadn't agreed to come on board,

we never would have connected with Charlie Wentworth,

and this probably never would have happened.

- It's my pleasure. - All right.

Okay. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yes. - Okay. Bye.

Hey, thank y'all for coming.

We'll see you at the opening ceremony tomorrow.

- (Man) Absolutely. - (Door closes)

Down at the other end.

- Hey. - (Laughs) Hey!

- Welcome home. - (Chuckles) Yeah.

- What are you doing here? - (Clatters)

Uh, just dropping off my guitars

- for our show tomorrow night. - (Sighs)

Well, thank you for agreeing to play with me.

Yeah. What happened to Brian?

I thought he was playing the festival.

I gave him a few days off.

You know, he had a couple tours back-to-back,

- so... - Oh.

- You're not complaining, are ya? - Not at all.

You know, I, uh, tried to call you

a couple times when I got your voice-mail.

Everything okay?

- Yeah. Yeah. - (Man) Juliette Barnes!

- We hear you're to blame for the Wentworth separation. - (Man) Move back!

Hey, come on, man.

- Hey, right over here. - Hey, back up!

You and Charlie were together in Houston

- at the Wentworth 5th anniversary party. - Let her through.

- How's it feel to be a home wrecker? - Go! Go!

Back up.

How about you, Mr. Mayor?

Any thoughts on the fact that the face of your festival

is a tramp?

Look what just got here.

- Well, look at that. We look good together. - It looks pretty good.

- I think so, too. - We should duet more often.

I hope you're ready for all these early mornings

we got with this big radio tour we got coming up.

Yeah, I'm... I am up for anything

as long as it means I get to hang out with you.

I like this, you know,

workin' with my girlfriend thing.

Oh, girlfriend, huh?

- What? - Well, I don't know if my kids are ready

- for me to have a boyfriend. - Well, what about you?

- (Laughs) (Chuckles) - Fair enough. I'll...

no, hey, I'll be your dirty little secret.

I like it that way.

Mmm.

Oh, hey, listen, I was, uh,

golfing with Jeff Fordham this morning.

Oh, God. Did you lose a bet?

Easy. Uh, and he said something about

marketing strategy for your album launch.

What album launch?

I got the distinct impression

he's planning on releasing it

right on the heels of this single.

I just, you know, wanted to give you a heads-up.

I don't know what kind of promises

Jeff Fordham has made to you,

but I hope you've collected on 'em,

'cause I'm about to go over to Edgehill and kill him.

Look, I'm sorry.

I know you're mad, but we need to be able

to talk about this.

What do you want me to do, beg?

I was gonna tell you about Gunnar in St. Louis,

but you were upset about being on the road,

and I didn't want to make that worse.

I don't want to hurt you. Neither does Gunnar.

Please.

I've barely talked to him.

I told him I need to work things out with you.

Would you just look at me?

Hey, what do you think about this one?

It looks good.

I have an idea. What if, um...

what if I just go like this?

It looks good.

Hey!

I'm practically dancing around in my underwear here,

and you're not even paying attention.

What's going on?

I don't care to talk much about clothes.

I'd rather talk without 'em.

- And I got yours right here. - Thank you.

All right.

- Hey. - (Singsongy) Deacon!

(Normal voice) As I live and breathe.

I saw your name on the list the other day.

How are you doin', Tanya?

Excited to see you out there.

- I'm excited to be playing. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - (Papers rustling)

You know what? It must have gotten misplaced,

- but I'll just call the office. - Okay.

- Hey, man. - Hey!

- How are you doin'? - I'm good.

Good. Where is Deacon Claybourne's packet?

Name?

- Uh, Gunnar Scott. - Okay, great.

- Are you playing this thing, too? - That's what they tell me.

- Nice. - You?

Yeah, uh, Jeff Fordham pulled some strings.

- Thank you. - Oh. Friends in high places, huh?

- Apparently. (Chuckles) - (Chuckles)

I'll tell him.

Paul says you're not on the list.

That doesn't make any sense.

- You saw my name yourself, right? - Yeah.

Uh, last-minute changes somewhere really high up.

But I can call around for you.

No, that's all right. All right?

I... I think I know what happened.

- Thank you. - Okay.

Hey, I got a question.

So if the main stage is zone 1,

they got me at zone 8. You... you know where that is?

What?

On the plus side, if you need to use the bathroom...

That's not funny.

Yeah, well, at least you got a spot.

Great. Only cost me one of my favorite songs.

(Thuds)

Jeff wanted it for will Lexington...

In return for a great place at the festival.

Yeah, "with a bunch of label execs in the audience

who might want to sign you, Gunnar."

I doubt they will be down here at 11:00 A.M.

Yeah, I don't expect they will be.

- Welcome to the club of the rejected. - (Sighs)

Why? What did Jeff to do you?

Not Jeff. Somebody else just playing personal politics.

I'm just lookin' for a break, man.

Tell me about it.

How about you and me partner up?

What do you mean?

Inside of these fences,

they can tell us where we play...

if we play.

But right outside...

they can't tell us a damn thing.

You would think after 42 unanswered calls,

she'd get the message and just leave me alone.

Gunnar called, what, 14 times.

What is he, like,

three-times less sorry or somethin'? Did...

did you know anything about this?

Did she say anything on the trip to St. Louis?

- I know she only came to see him. But... - Nobody said anything to me.

Why do you care so much?

It's because it's Gunnar?

You think he's the only reason I care?

Seems to me you broke up with him, he's moved on,

- and you're... a little pissed. - No.

That's not what it is at all.

And I'm sorry. I've been home 12 hours,

- and all I've done is complain. - Well...

I might have to give you something else

to complain about...

Juliette wants me to play the festival with her.

And... (inhales deeply) our sound check

- is during your show. - That's okay.

You heard me before. It's good.

Well, how about this...

tomorrow night, after I play,

late night date night?

- (Chuckles) You are so cute. Yes. - (Chuckles)

Look, I know things have been kinda weird lately,

but... I really missed you
