We do.
The big news, I guess, we heard that Rayna got out of the hospital today, is that right? That is correct.

She's got a lot of questions about everything.
- I know.
I wish I had the answers.
- Do you have the answers for yourself? I just remember sitting in that house after mom died and Just feeling so lost.
I can't believe I almost did that to my own daughters because of him.
Are you gonna talk to him? I don't know if I'll ever talk to him again.
- 13 appearances in 2 weeks.
- Tip of the iceberg.
We got records to sell, man.
You know, she seems to like you.
- Hey, great show.
- Yeah, if your definition of "great" is talking about Rayna the entire time.
I mean, am I ever gonna be able to do an interview without having to talk about her? Shut up! I didn't say anything.
I can hear you thinking from all the way over here.
Hey! Hey! Look at you.
You're home.
- You're not wearing hospital clothes.
- I made it.
I'm not dead.
Mm.
You're okay.
Yeah.
Uh, sit down.
Fill me in.
Tell me what I've been missing.
- Uh, well - I can't believe they sold Edgehill.
- Right.
Yeah.
Marshall got fired - Uh-huh.
To the tune of $3 million.
- Oh, fire me for $3 million, please.
- Yeah, right.
Um New guy's name is Jeff Fordham.
Never heard of him.
Is he a creative guy? No, he's the opposite.
- He's a Harvard MBA Bean counter.
- Oh, man.
Heads are rollin'.
He's meetin' with every single artist at the label this week.
But we don't have to do that for you yet.
- We don't have to do that til you're ready.
- Yes, we do.
Yes, we do.
Are you kidding me? I know what happens when these guys get in there.
We gotta get in there Stand our ground.
Are you sure you're up to it? I mean, should you even be talking right now? Didn't you have an intubation? You gotta protect your voice, right? Yeah, but I also gotta protect Highway 65.
We worked so hard to get that goin'.
I gotta protect my label.
Let's get Scarlett and Will, make it a family affair.
- Mornin'.
- Hey.
- Oh, thank you.
- Sorry, uh I didn't want to disturb you.
I was just dropping off the last of your small stuff.
Oh.
Zoey's gonna come by the house and, uh, pick up the furniture in the carport and the couch.
- The couch kinda got, uh - Damaged.
- Like, torn, or - Torched.
Uh, this should cover it.
Um How are you? Fine, I guess.
Jeannie's all over me to get some new songs turned in.
And The melodies are coming fine, but I've been a little stuck with the lyrics lately.
I don't suppose you wanna get together this week and throw some ideas around, maybe knock something out? I'm not sure it's the best idea right now.
Yeah, you're right.
It's a terrible idea.
No I have to go.
Um, thank you, and have a lovely day.
Yeah, uh, I-I'm busy.
I gotta I gotta go, too.
Busy.
Well, it's good to finally see someone young and interesting in this office.
Well, you guys have been very welcoming to me.
You're in Nashville.
Now you gotta say, "y'all.
" Y'all.
Unfortunately, it seems the public hasn't been as welcoming of your latest effort.
Your album's been sliding on iTunes, and your single hasn't made it to number one.
The tweens are not showing up on this one.
Her audience is growing up with her.
I'm moving toward a New, more mature sound.
You know, the bubblegum and glitter just aren't things I care about anymore.
Well, I do.
They move records.
Either way, your album's getting outsold by "the best of Rayna Jaymes.
" So even your "mature sound" isn't winning mature audiences.
Would you like for me to go have my own near-death experience? Look You chose to walk down this more mature path.
You'll figure something out.
Now I'm having a little get-together at my place the night after tomorrow.
Just artists, no press.
I hope you can make it.
It was really, really nice to meet you.
I'm a big fan.
Hey, Scarlett.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
I'm so glad you're all right.
Me, too.
I can't believe they're making you do this today, though.
You know what? They're not.
I insisted.
No time like the present.
Uh, on that note, um I'm staying with Deacon at the moment.
And I know you guys aren't really talking.
I still don't know what happened Why he fell off the wagon.
I just wanted to ask you if it was weird You and I working together while I'm living with him.
I don't wanna make you uncomfortable in any way.
Listen, in Nashville, if everybody who had a complicated relationship stopped working together, we would never get a thing done.
- Okay.
We're good.
- Ladies, hello.
Ah! There he is The other half of Highway 65.
There is no way you just got out of the hospital and you look this beautiful.
You can save that charm for the man upstairs.
Rayna.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Uh, wow.
Um I thought you'd be at home just laying low, takin' care of yourself.
Can't keep me down.
Hey, I saw those pictures of that prayer vigil you did.
Thank you.
Well, I'm glad it worked.
Me, too.
Hey.
- How's the new guy? - He's an ass.
Ms.
Jaymes.
- Hey.
- Ah, it's a real pleasure.
I've been looking forward to meeting the woman who built Edgehill.
- Thank you.
I appreciate that.
- Yeah.
And I'm not sure that you have met my manager - Bucky Dawes.
- Hey, Bucky.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
And the first 2 artists of Highway 65 Records Scarlett o'Connor and Will Lexington.
Pleased to meet you.
- Nice dress.
- Hey.
- Welcome to Nashville.
- Thank you, man.
So Now between your demos and the fact that Ms.
Jaymes' catalog is selling like wildfire, this this was the meeting that I was most excited to have.
We launched Highway 65 at the Opry last month, and, uh, we had just gotten into budgets with Marshall.
Yeah, he was being none too generous.
Uh, well, that's because, respectfully, he didn't know how to grow a business.
I'm all for investing in what you believe in.
Okay? And I feel like I am looking at the future of Edgehill right now.
Ms.
Jaymes, I-I know what you've been through.
And I want you to get healthy.
Get strong.
I got your back.
- You want some dinner? - No.
I don't want you cooking for me either.
I ain't cooking.
I just think you should eat.
You know, you need to get off my back a little bit, all right? - Can you do that? - Juliette made an appointment for you to see the specialist tomorrow.
God Damn it, Scarlett.
My hand will heal when my hand heals, okay? You tell her I'm not goin'.
Are you angry at me for working with Rayna? What? Well, she said it doesn't bother her, but Somethin' sure is bothering you about me.
No.
No, Scarlett.
There ain't nothin' about you that bothers me.
I'm sorry.
You Your career's taking off.
That is a good thing.
It makes me happy.
It makes me proud.
And you're doing it with Rayna.
That's good, too.
It's all good.
You know? It's just What? The art of this You get that part, you know? You get it.
That part That's beautiful.
But this business It can eat you alive.
I just want you to be careful.
Burnin' up the ground as they're fallin' tears so strong what went wrong what's done is done ah I'm feeling every one as they're fallin' ah tears so strong can't hold on until the kingdom comes I'm countin' every one as they're fallin' I'll never see her again or breathe her fire if only she could dry these tears of mine yeah-hey-hey You the man! You the man, Will! Will Great show, man.
Wow.
Thanks.
Jeff, I just can't believe you're here.
You are the future of country music.
Well, I can't tell you how glad I am to hear you say that.
I mean, I-I'm really excited to work with Edgehill and Highway 65.
Hey give us a minute, all right? Sure.
Here you go.
See, here's the thing, Will You haven't signed your contract yet with Highway 65.
You say the word We start over.
We build you a new deal with the big dog Edgehill itself.
We will set you up with a national radio tour, priority status, tour support, all of our resources and a full-court press.
I still get to work with Rayna? No.
Rayna's label is like the farm team, and I'm inviting you to the majors.
You want to play? - Can we have a little chat? - I think I'm good.
I'd really love to just, uh I'd love to know what's on your mind.
Hmm, I don't know.
Maybe what happens now? Well, I don't know.
Let's figure it out together.
Am I supposed to treat Deacon like another dad? Do I split my time between you, daddy, and Deacon? Or am I just supposed to pretend like I don't know about Deacon and act like everything's the way it used to be? What about Daphne? Honey, I know all this is so confusing I'm not confused.
My mom's a liar, my biological dad's an alcoholic, my dad isn't even my dad.
What's confusing about that? I'm really sorry you see it that way, honey.
Yeah, this was a great talk.
For God sake, give me a different photographer 'cause I have to have pictures I can actually use.
What the hell are you doing here, man? - Are you stalkin' me, Brent? - Relax, would you? I'm here with my boss.
Your boss? - I was trying - I see you met Brent.
Yeah.
He's my marketing and P.
R.
Guy.
It took some convincing to get him out here from L.
A.
, but I can be pretty persuasive when I wanna be.
Y'all are gonna make a great team.
Good night.
Welcome aboard, sir.
I'll take that for you.
- Where's the gig? - No gig.
Headin' down to Alabama for the day.
What's in Alabama? New head of the label's trying to prove he's got balls by bustin' mine, which I'm not gonna let happen.
He basically suggested that I fake my own death to boost sales.
I came up with a better idea Alabama.
- I don't get it.
- Well I've had a CMT Special on the books for a while to promote the album.
And they decided they were willing to take a little trip for me.
So considering I don't feel like dying today, I figured I'd give them the next best thing A little look at where I come from.
So if there's no gig, what am I doing here? Don't read too much into it.
I got some ideas for new songs, and we'll be working on this flight.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Can I get you anything? Water, tea, whiskey? You gonna help me break the rules now? Uh, you know me Mr.
rebellious.
Oh, I know.
I know.
Hey, thank you.
I know neither one of us ever expected to be here.
- But - Yeah.
Look, we have raised some amazing girls together.
And I am always gonna be there for them And you.
Rayna? Oh Sorry.
Oh, no, it's good.
Buck's here.
He's gonna help me get through all this contract stuff.
I want to try to get a handle on this today.
Well, you're probably gonna need to.
'Cause, uh, I just found out that Jeff Is trying to poach will.
- What? - Yeah, he went to his show last night, basically suggested he ditch Highway 65.
Are you kiddin' me? Mnh-mnh.
What the hell's that? That has been there since the accident.
Unless they moved it, the store's back that way.
I know.
And yet you won't turn around, huh? We're not going to the grocery store.
- We're not going to the grocery store.
- You have a doctor's appointment.
I told you I wasn't going to the doctor's.
- All right? - Yeah, but y-you were wrong.
- I was wrong? - Mm.
- Oh Scarlett, stop the car.
- Nope.
Scarlett, I'm not jokin' around.
Shut up! I know you don't want to go.
I know you're afraid of what they're gonna say about your hand, but were going anyway, all right? So just sit there.
Home sweet home.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Hey, y'all! How are ya? - Hi, Juliette.
- Katie, good to see you.
John Hamlin.
Nice to meet you.
When I want a beer I grab one that's near That sucks.
When I want a beer Go get me one dear - That also sucks.
- You writin' a song, or a Jingle for a commercial? You're funny.
It's 4:00 P.
M.
you just gettin' up? Yeah, I couldn't sleep last night.
Jeff Fordham came to my gig.
He wants me to ditch Highway 65 for Edgehill, but I don't know.
I There's this guy Brent I used to know in Austin Look, man, I'm not the guy to help you with your high-class problem of which record label to sign with right now.
I am trying to write a song that doesn't suck so Jeannie doesn't kill my publishing deal.
Okay, well, it's not my fault you're banging your head up against your writer's block - Hoping it'll crumble.
- It's not my fault you're complaining about being in a situation everybody we know would kill to be in.
Hey, guys.
Door was open.
I'm just coming by to pick up any unburnt furniture.
- Ms.
Jaymes.
Ms.
Jaymes! - I don't There's no numbers here.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
- Please, can I have a word with you? - Yeah.
So was all that sweet talk yesterday about, oh, you got my back All that business, that was just so you could cover up the fact you were gonna poach my artist? Look, I was just going after a talented performer - without a signed contract.
- Uh, I think my lawyer would beg to differ with you about that.
Highway 65 and will have a verbal agreement.
Well, my lawyers plural Don't see it that way.
Look, Rayna, we don't have to fight about this, okay? Will can make his choice.
I am not forcing him.
Is this really how you want to start with me? Your fledgling label is not the right place - for an artist with Will's potential.
- My fledgling label? Yesterday, my fledgling label was "the future of edgehill.
" No no.
Let me clarify, okay? I think that your back catalog and will Lexington are where I want my money.
My back catalog, not my new stuff.
Will Lexington, not Scarlett? It's nothing personal.
I'm not letting you take will from me.
Okay.
Best of luck.
You go ahead and keep that luck.
I make my own luck.
It's really brave of you to come home, especially with everything you've been through.
- We're ready, guys.
Are you ready? - Yeah.
All right.
We have speed.
Anytime you're ready.
Okay.
I'm here with Juliette Barnes in Enterprise, Alabama, where she lived until she was 15.
What's it like to come home? Uh, its great, you know? I get to reconnect with where I'm from.
Miss Carrie? I can't believe you're still here.
Uh uh, this is miss, uh, Carrie Franklin.
She she lived two trailers down from us.
So you knew Juliette Barnes before she was "Juliette Barnes"? Mm-hmm.
She used to come over to my house for hours, and we'd make peanut butter cookies.
- Remember? - Yeah, uh Carrie used to help when I was home alone.
I made you somethin'.
Those are all you.
That's really nice.
I followed you every step of the way.
Every step.
Take it.
It's for you.
Thank you.
- Oh.
- Okay.
Ladies, we're good.
We're good.
Thank you.
Thanks, Juliette and Miss Carrie.
Come on.
Come with me.
Come over here.
That's a nice quilt.
You like it? Keep it.
I want you to know, Rayna, I didn't go looking for any of this.
Oh, I know.
This is a great opportunity for you to really think about what it is that you want.
And you can make that decision for yourself.
How long you want to be doing this? A year? Two years? You want to have the kind of career that's worthy of that stage right there? And I get it.
I know it's flattering to have the head of a label tell you that you're the future of country music.
Right? But just remember, it's just words coming from him.
He is a businessman, and I promise you The only thing he cares about is what his research tells him is gonna sell the most units this month.
Next month, it's gonna be something or someone else completely different.
I don't know you that well, but I feel like we could do something really special.
I feel like you really want it.
Yes, ma'am.
I want you to be at Highway 65 with me so that I can protect you as an artist.
I want you to be able to grow and find your voice and really know who you are, and I will always have your back.
You might wanna ask yourself if you could say the same thing about Jeff.
Sorry about before with Will.
Oh, no, it seemed totally normal, not at all like you were jealous.
But given what happened to you What? Uh, your brother passing.
How'd you know about my brother? Dude, I'm Scarlett's best friend.
I know that.
- All right, what else did she tell you? - Um Pretty much everything.
Okay.
Everything.
Wow.
Wow.
Including your writer's block.
What? Look, this is weird, all right? You know everything about me.
And I know that you're a preacher's daughter.
How about you tell me something about yourself, - you know, even this up a little bit? - We're not talking about me.
Look, I don't know anything about writing, but you've got a broken heart.
What more do you need for a song? Good rhyme for "beer.
" Ah! "Souvenir" "Insincere" "Persevere.
" So he held your hand? - Sort of.
- Like Sort of maybe this is Heading someplace sort of? He's been very helpful.
- I appreciate that.
- Mm-hmm.
I mean, lord knows I need help right now.
I can't believe all the stuff that's happening with Highway 65.
I might actually lose one of my artists.
My other artist just moved in with Deacon.
And I don't know when I'm gonna be able to tour again.
Scarlett must moved in with Deacon? Mm-hmm.
Did he tell her about Maddie? No.
Not yet.
But, you know, that's just a matter of time.
I mean Blood is thicker than water.
Well, you're at the point where you could start physical therapy.
We'll have to monitor you closely to make sure you don't reinjure the hand.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
It'll be painful.
Well How long till my hand is normal? - How long till I can play? - I wanna be clear.
You suffered extensive damage to your nerves and tendons.
You may never get back to your version of normal.
And you just said, "may," so with the therapy there is a chance he might could get better? Well, yeah, but with injuries like these, we never guarantee that he will get back - his full range of motion - What do I gotta do to make this thing stop hurting me right now? - If you're not gonna take the pain meds - I'm not.
We can immobilize it.
- Like a cast? - Yes.
But the longer you put off physical therapy, we risk making the temporary damage permanent.
Do it.
Give me the cast.
No, hang on.
You You got to at least try physical therapy.
I don't gotta do anything, all right? I don't gotta do anything.
If there's any chance that your hand could get better Look, we come here and get some answers Find out what the story is.
Now we know.
My hand's not gonna be the same again.
Give me the cast, please.
Please don't punch me.
What do you want? I-I know what you're afraid of.
I just wanna tell you that you don't have to be.
- I get it.
- You get what? You're an incredibly valuable asset as the ladies' man that you are.
And I'm not an idiot.
Look, my boss thinks you're the next big thing.
I'm not gonna be the guy who ruins that.
So if you could stop jumping out of your skin every time you that you see me, I'd appreciate it.
What if I choose Rayna? Whatever you decide.
You're just gonna have to trust me.
When we moved here, my mama hated that it was stark white.
So We painted it this happy yellow.
My mom and dad let me pick the color.
You've never really mentioned your father before.
Well, he was, uh, part of something I locked away.
We moved here when I was 3.
He actually made this for me for my 4th birthday Right before he passed away.
Yeah, when you're a kid, you just You don't see the bad.
You just See a happy yellow house.
Can we cut, please? Let's stop here.
Juliette, I'm so sorry.
I didn't know you'd lost your father, too.
Thank you.
Do you, uh You wanna talk about it? I'm just trying to sell records.
Thank you for coming.
It's almost like everybody expected we were gonna die.
I gotta be honest, sometimes it feels like I did.
I don't know if I'm gonna be able to play anymore.
I don't know if the program's gonna work, or I wasn't gonna call you.
I didn't want to.
I had no right.
It's just, I didn't know who else to call.
I don't want you to be the one.
I just You always have been.
I can't.
We've been through this so many times, and we've tried so hard, and We've just brought each other so much grief.
And we didn't die here.
And I think that means that maybe we have an opportunity to go forward.
'Cause I don't think we can save each other.
I think we each need to save ourselves now.
I always thought we might need this someday.
- Good night, daddy.
- Lights out before 10:00, I mean it.
Mm.
All right, I love you, kiddo.
- I love you, too.
- Don't stay up too late.
I won't, I won't.
Hey.
Hey.
Girls just, uh, they just went up to bed.
You okay? I think we should have a conversation.
I just don't think we should be playing house anymore.
Playing house, what? I mean, we're - We're not playing house.
- Well, we kinda are.
And I think it's confusing to the girls.
- I think it's confusing to us.
- Yeah, but, look, you're still recovering.
I mean, you can't do all this on your own.
Tandy could come stay, help us out.
I know I know that we're not getting back together.
I mean, I-I don't even really want that.
But I miss our family.
I really Really miss our family.
And and I just find it hard to believe that you don't.
Oh, I do.
Of course I do.
I just don't want us Spending the next six months sharing this house, being polite to each other, not signing our divorce papers, telling ourselves we're doing it for the girls.
It seems like that would be the easy thing to do.
I just don't think it'd be the right thing to do.
I don't want our lives to be in limbo.
So that's it? We can't go back.
I want a number on each one of them individually.
Then the whole group together.
It's a fire sale.
Everything must go.
- All of 'em? - Yeah.
Oh not that one.
That's a that's a gift I gotta return.
Everything else.
You're a damn fool.
I'm a one-handed fool.
I sure as hell don't need a bunch of guitars I'll never play again.
- That ain't what the doctor said.
- Yeah, well - You weren't listenin'.
- My ears work just fine.
You wanna nag somebody all day, you need to go get yourself a new boyfriend.
All right, you wanna get mean? That's fine.
I will get mean.
All my life, I've watched you refuse to become the man your father was An angry, bitter old drunk.
And look at you.
Spittin' image of him, and you are stone-cold sober.
What was worth that? Don't you walk away from me.
You tell me what 13 years of sobriety was worth throwing away for! You come up with somethin' real good.
Maddie Conrad is my daughter.
What? Rayna didn't want to tell me 'cause I was a drunk, and she was right.
I didn't deserve to be a father, so I wasn't.
Now I don't have Rayna, and I don't have my music.
I got nothin'.
I am nothin'.
So you need to let me be.
Please.
I heard them talking.
Dad's moving back out.
So much for your stupid wish that everything would go back to the way it was.
So what now? Now it's you and me against the world.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What? Oh, this whole thing with Maddie is just a disaster.
I don't know.
Maybe I shouldn't go to this party tonight.
I just wanna deal with these girls.
It is gonna take some time to resolve that.
And you have to go.
You can't let Jeff think he's got the upper hand in this.
You gotta go in there, close that deal with Will, and be done.
Come on.
It's been a real crappy month.
Welcome to open mic night.
Here's Gunnar Scott.
- Thank you, Erica.
- Yeah! This is a new song, um, it's about It's about the biggest heartbreak I ever had.
He told me he was having trouble writing.
I guess he sorted that out.
Breakup's always good for inspiration.
You were headed for some border town to find a Spanish rose and settle down you hitched a ride on a southbound Mexican wind adios old friend it's about his brother.
I heard you made it far as El Paso those Texas rangers would not let it go they tracked you down on the banks of the Rio Grande adios old friend do angels sing for outlaws? I don't know but I know outlaws pray and I pray it's so old friend And then Juliette opened up about her father.
Yeah, when you're a kid, you don't see the bad, you see You know, you don't have to tell your sad story just to make it to the top.
Everybody in this town does, 'cause it works.
This just aired, and my single just hit number one on iTunes.
Well, just be careful.

Well, you know what? It's business.
And you made the choice you had to make, so And I really appreciated everything you said to me, but, uh Well, I'm not an artist.
