Music City (2018) s02e06 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Music City" Hey, girls.
Hey.
Rachyl found herself facing temptation.
I didn't know you were going to be here.
Jackson refused to listen to Baylee's advice after his accident.
I'm just kind of worried that you're overworking.
Just stop telling me how to live my life.
Bryant crossed the line when it came to my career.
All I see is a woman that had so much talent.
But you've picked another bar to work at.
Once again, Kerry put his career before Rachyl.
Now we're going broke so you can have a publicist.
Do you know how disrespectful that is? And Jessica gave Rachyl a piece of her mind.
You can't always play the victim.
[BLEEP.]
you, J Mack.
And now their friendship may be damaged for good.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
Babe, on the rocks, please.
You want rocks in your drink, you said? - Yes.
- Got you.
We really have got to talk about these RSVPs.
Thank you.
I've been getting all sorts of texts from everyone.
More yeses or nos? More yeses.
I'm nervous.
What if we have too many people? - Maybe you can RSVP "no".
- OK.
So out of our group, we have Alisa, Alexandra, Bryant, and Jackson.
Wait.
So, babe, you're inviting Jackson to the wedding but not Rachyl.
Correct.
Rachyl and I, we're not in a good place right now.
We ended up kind of getting into it at FGL.
I called her a victim.
I said that she shouldn't act like the victim.
I just want the best for her.
And it's just like we just don't understand each other.
And I just feel like she doesn't even consider me a friend anymore.
But do you think you're going to regret not having her there? It hurts.
And I'm like, I don't want to feel that way on my wedding day.
Babe, I know that things are really hard right now, and things are just weird.
But you invite her.
Kind of leave the ball in her court, and let her decide if she's willing to come back.
We'll see.
Yeah.
Come here.
I'm so sorry, babe.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
[MUSIC - KELLY CLARKSON, "HEAT".]
Come turn this around, oh, oh.
No, no, don't let us down.
I need more heat from you, baby.
Hey, quack, quack.
Ooh, sexy.
Guess what I got in the mail? - What? - Jessica's wedding invitation.
Huh.
Why? I have not gotten an invite yet.
- What? - Yeah.
I kind of went after her at FGL.
If that is the reason for not inviting someone to a wedding, that's ridiculous.
You saw how weird she was acting about Jeremiah being at the waterfall.
Uh, yeah.
I can not handle that anymore.
I didn't even tell them that Jeremiah was at the waterfall.
Really? I mean, obviously, he will find out.
I know.
I don't know.
I just did not want another fight.
Technically, I didn't know he was coming.
- True.
- I mean, you said.
Kerry cannot control who I'm friends with.
- No.
- Kerry's with his publicist.
Should I plan some sort of photo shoot for him? He has a manager for all that stuff.
I'm curious to see what that is.
- At the shoot? - Yeah.
Watch it be with, like, four models.
And his shirt's off and oiled up.
I would faint.
Do you want to come? Yes, please.
This should be fun.
[MUSIC - EXTREME MUSIC, "WAIT FOR YOU".]
When light falls, and we are changing, hold on.
Hold on.
- Hey, babe.
- Hi.
How are you? I'm good.
How are you? - Good.
- I wasn't expecting you.
Yeah.
What are you doing? Babe, I'm just here to apologize.
Well, thank you.
- Can I sit? - Yeah, of course.
What's up? I was kind of quick to jump on you for calling me out for being too aggressive with my job and all that kind of stuff.
And I feel like this car wreck has really, really thrown me for a loop, because I'm not in control of things right now.
And I like being in control of my life.
I mean, everybody wants to be in control of their life.
And there's just going to be some things that happen sometimes that you can't control.
You're a really hard worker, and it's very admirable, your work ethic.
But at the same time, you need to take a break every now and then.
I just want to make you happy.
I think we I mean, you make me happy every day.
I don't think you have to run yourself ragged to do that.
I don't want to fail you.
I just want to be the best for you.
- I love you.
- And I just want you to know I'm going to be better going forward.
And I can't do this stuff without you.
And I don't want you to give up on us.
I'm not going to give up on us.
[MUSIC - THE CHAINSMOKERS WITH KELSEA BALLERINI, "THIS FEELING".]
They tell me think with my head, not that thing in my chest.
[INAUDIBLE.]
I think my sister called, and she wants her pants back.
You look great.
Whatever you say.
There's some other stuff here.
But I think that no.
Yeah.
- Well, not that.
- Why are there girls' clothes here? I have a female model that's coming to do a couple of the shots with you.
- With me? - Yeah.
Hm, yeah.
Just trust me.
You know who looks really good with me though is Rachyl.
Well, I know.
But it's not family photo time.
What we're trying to get here today is some sexier photos that we can put on Instagram.
We can use for the upcoming shows.
What I don't understand is if we're trying to get pictures of me not with a female, as in my wife, why are we taking pictures of me with a female? It's just going to open you up a little bit more to look more accessible.
Like these young girls who are looking up to you, they want to fantasize getting to be up close and personal.
With a female? Well, I trust you with my brand, OK, but I'm going to agree on certain things.
And this one I don't agree with.
We won't release anything until you approve it.
Mhm.
OK? Sexy, here we go.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
Bring your eyes to me.
Perfect.
Kerry, this is Caroline.
- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you as well.
I asked her to come in for a few of those photos.
- Thanks for your help.
- All right, let's have you sitting back on the couch.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
Yeah, lean into him.
I mean, don't there you go.
Smile a little bit more.
You want it, want it.
I've got it, got it.
All right, let's have you be on top of him.
Yeah, just right on top of him.
That's just a little too much for me.
We're going to the next pose.
OK.
So come and get it.
Yep, flex it up.
Perfect.
It's my theme song.
I'm going to get a smile out of you.
I swear.
Baby.
There's a smile.
Make it more playful, like you're listening to him, having a good time.
This is so awkward.
I know.
Do you know her? No.
Kind of put your head on his chest.
Just seriously.
Yeah, stop.
I mean I think Tori told them to pose like that.
I mean, I don't mind if he does photo shoots.
But this makes no sense.
No, this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.
This is bad for his music career.
I don't see anything relating to music.
He's an established, skilled musician.
What is this doing? You want it, want it, want it.
That's great.
Yeah, those are great.
You're still a man.
You know that I'm so automatic.
Yeah, really lean on him.
It's OK but He looks so mad right now.
Grab her leg.
Because I'm the future.
Come on.
Don't you wish you had it? What? I think that you should say something.
So come and get it.
Rachyl? - Hey.
- Hi, I'm Caroline.
Hi, I'm Rachyl.
I'm Kerry's wife.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hi, I'm Caroline.
That was weird.
That model just makes no sense.
People know you're married with a kid.
It's just going to make you look bad.
I felt really awkward.
I didn't know this was happening.
You didn't know the girl was going to be there.
- Yeah.
- Hi, everyone.
Hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm Tori.
- Ali, good to meet you.
- Hi, how are you? - Great to meet you.
- How are we doing? Are we almost ready? - This makes no sense, Tori.
What is the point of this photo shoot? To show him as just a young artist.
And it's really great to have him posed with somebody that we're trying to appeal to.
It's like a fantasy type of thing, like one of his fans.
My fans [INAUDIBLE.]
.
Then you could shoot a show with like young girls in the audience or something.
We have that too.
We just need variety.
I want to see how these will perform.
We're trying to still work through his brand.
I agree that it also doesn't make any sense to me right now.
But any time you're modeling, you're modeling for a brand.
There's a purpose to it.
This is the Kerry Degman brand.
- This is my brand.
- Yeah, well, we talked about this before.
I get what everyone's saying I think it is awkward, very awkward.
And this is my brand.
And my brand needs to look how I want it to look.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
No more hiding from the fight because you're playing with fire.
- Look at this cute little shop.
- Isn't it adorable? This place is so cute.
Hi.
We are wonderful.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Welcome in.
Thank you.
Are you looking for anything in particular? Yes, I'm getting married.
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
I'm looking for what flowers I want to be in the wedding.
OK.
Well, just take a look around this table.
This is everything we have out today.
OK, cool.
Thank you.
Oh, my gosh, so many options.
What's your color scheme? I know.
I'm thinking like soft pinks.
These are so pretty.
Right? I definitely want roses.
Those never go out of style.
- Yeah.
- Thank you for coming with me.
Of course.
I'm glad I could be moral support.
For sure.
I wanted a second opinion.
Yeah, definitely.
- Girl's day.
- Girl's day.
I've been meaning to ask.
How's music going? It's going good actually.
- Yeah? - Better than it has been.
OK.
- I actually reached out to Kerry.
- OK.
Yeah, because I was like, he co-writes with everybody.
So I figured he would have some good connects, and maybe he could put me in touch with someone.
And he told me that he has a friend named Luke Pell.
Oh.
Who's like I don't really know him.
We've never met.
But I know he's a little more involved in the country music industry.
Yeah.
So I feel like I've definitely heard that name.
Mhm.
We were supposed to meet tonight.
OK.
And we'll see if we can write together.
I'm excited for you.
This is a big step.
- I'm just trying to get out there.
- That's good.
Stop being nervous about it and just do it.
I'm already assuming that we're writing.
- Yeah.
- Like because he's going to love me, duh.
- He is.
- He's going to want to write with me.
How could he not? I'm fantastic.
But we'll see.
That's right, babe.
This is so I love that.
I love how pink those are.
Have you talked to Rachyl since No, we have not talked since the FGL House.
I have to apologize.
Why? For I didn't know that you and Rachyl were going to get into it.
That was not the plan.
No, I know.
I knew your intentions were good.
Her and Kerry have something going on.
And as a friend, I don't like to see her in this state.
But I just have to let her make her own decisions.
It's not our marriage.
That is true.
I want to talk it out with her.
I mean, to be honest, since that night, I've already started to miss her.
And I'm wanting to clear the air.
But I haven't decided whether or not you no matter I'm going to invite her to the wedding.
That's a little extreme.
I mean, I get it.
Dre says the same thing.
But we'll see what happens.
Well, hopefully you guys can work it out before then.
Yeah, I hope so.
I want us to all be cool and ready for your wedding.
I want that to.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
I can feel it sinking in.
Our silhouette, silhouettes, dance around the truth again.
Are we going to sink or swim? You got me once.
Fooled me twice before I see that again.
- Cheers.
- Yeah, man.
Good to see you out.
How you been? Just, you know, trying to make it happen.
I invited a friend to meet you.
Yeah.
Alisa I'm hoping that there can be a write in the works or something.
Yeah.
She's not ugly.
She's got an incredible voice.
Writing is always a good place to start.
And that's a good place to figure people out anyway.
Oh, right.
It gets deep quick.
Yeah, I hear that.
How's the fam? Man, kid's terrorizing all the other kids in daycare.
And every time I pick him up, he's just on time out.
I don't know how you do it, man.
I got a dog, and I can't keep him from peeing on the floor, man.
That's all I can handle, man.
A dog was like the perfect training to prepare you for having a kid, because you learn that if you don't train your dog, your life is miserable.
Yeah.
- Hi, friends.
- Hey, good to see you.
You too.
Thanks for joining us.
- Of course.
- What's up? - Alisa, Luke.
- Luke, Alisa.
Luke, I've heard so much about you.
Nice to meet you.
- Nice to see you.
- Awesome.
Kerry was telling me all about you.
I'm crashing your boys' party.
No, come on in.
I'm glad you made it.
Where's my drink? You're not drinking beers with us? No, tequila all day.
Oh, we'll just get you a bottle.
Perfect.
Get you your own bottle.
At least tequila, all right.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
How long have you guys known each other? For a while now.
She's friends with my wife.
- Oh, nice.
- Yeah.
Have you written with other people in town already? How's it been going? Yeah, the one song that he knows that I actually completed was with a guy I dated.
But I'm kind of wondering if maybe it would be easier to write with a stranger.
I think it is.
It's like giving a speech to someone you know versus Someone you don't know.
a group of strangers, right? It's always easier with a stranger.
OK.
Do you play guitar? I mean, I play enough to get by.
I can pick like four chords, maybe five.
That's country music.
Hey, that's all you need for country music.
You're going to need to bring your guitar to our co-write.
He hasn't physically said, I would like to co-write with you.
He's going to co-write with me, OK? I mean She's got control issues.
You've twisted my arm, I guess.
I feel like I've got control issues.
I've been set up.
Now I've got no way out.
You've got no way out.
I'm not mad about it.
I'm not mad about it at all.
I'm excited about it.
You won't be let down.
She's a talented writer.
[MUSIC - MONDO COZMO, "SHINE".]
[MUSIC - ALISA FULLER, "DEAR LOVE".]
Dear love, I trusted you.
And you let me down.
- You told me to open my heart.
- That's cool.
- But I jumped - But it's a sad ballad.
- "Dear Love," that's the title of it? - Mhm.
- That's awesome.
- Thank you - I love to write.
All of my songs like that - It's a lot of feels.
- All of the feels.
- Yeah, I'm like I need to stop.
Do you want to cry? - Do you want to cry so bad? - I don't know I'm sweating a little.
Gah-lee.
Now, who'd you right this with? His name is Bryant.
- And this is your ex now? - Yeah.
- OK.
- We did write a few songs together.
But that one, I would say, is my favorite one.
I cried, and I never cry.
You cried when you were writing the song? - Yeah.
- Oh, wow.
Because I felt like those are my feelings.
- Yeah.
- And everything I had, I put into that song.
- That's great.
- Which I never wanted to do before.
That's hard to do.
What if you played it on the phone, but maybe if we just play around with that for a little bit, that will give us an idea.
- How do you feel - I might have the chords.
OK.
Here we go.
That's the first verse.
There we go, first verse.
It sounds so much different on guitar.
And I love it.
The lies I told myself that it'll be OK, I created a fairy tale and lost the strength to walk away.
I thought this letter would help mend my brokenness.
I finally figured it out we're so much better than this.
Oh, my god, I'm like, this is magic.
- Yeah, this is great.
- This is so much better on guitar.
You sound really good singing that, so good.
Right now, it's just so ballad-y and heartbreak.
- Yeah.
- But I think with the guitar, it's like, we're moving into the country genre.
Yeah, I get a little campfire feel to it a little.
- Yes, yes.
- I love it.
Would you be down just to record this? And if I could be a part of it, that'd be crazy.
- OK.
- It would be cool, though, to do it just a more country version of it.
It would be amazing.
Yeah, like a duet.
Yeah.
Oh, I'd love that.
It would take the song to a whole other level.
I would just coattail ride on your amazing voice.
It's insane.
OK, he has to approve of me doing anything with it.
Most people will.
But do you think that he's still clinging on to the relationship or what? Me, personally, I have no attachment to him anymore.
- Right.
- We've had more arguments post breaking up.
I feel like this is an opportunity for you to show him "I'm moving on.
" [MUSIC - CAPPA, "TENSION".]
Let's break the tension, baby.
Yeah.
Let's break the tension now.
Now we're here face to face.
I need to know.
Are you going do it? Are you going to do it? [KNOCKING.]
Listening to your old band in my car, are you going to do it? Hey, what's up? - Hey.
- Do you have a minute? Yeah.
Come on in.
I just put Wolf down.
So I was just making lemonade in the kitchen.
Do you want some help? I'm going to be honest.
I came over because we haven't talked in a while since FGL House.
And I feel like that conversation hopefully was not what either one of us really wanted it to be.
Yeah, that got out of hand.
I know feelings were hurt.
Mine were hurt.
Yours were hurt.
And so I just wanted to apologize, because I shouldn't have told you that you shouldn't play the victim.
And as soon as I said it, I wished I could have taken it back, because I knew that wasn't what needed to be said.
I'm obviously sorry too.
I got really emotional and definitely overreacted, which I have a tendency to do.
So I'm sorry for that.
Whatever happens with you and Kerry, I can't fully understand where you're coming from.
But I at least want to learn how to be there for you.
And let's just leave it at that.
We don't even have to talk about your marriage if you don't want to.
Ball's in your court.
I'm not going to force this.
But I do want you to know I'm here if you want me to be here for you.
And that's why I came over here today, because I wanted to personally invite you to my wedding.
And so I don't want you to not be there.
And I had this temptation to not invite you, only because I didn't know if you would accept it.
And I didn't want to be rejected by you like I've felt like I've been.
If you want to, I'd love for you to be there.
Thanks for inviting me.
Yeah.
So you'll come? Oh, yeah.
Good.
Well, I'm glad you came over.
Me too.
I was really thirsty, so this is great.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
Hey.
Hello.
How was your day? It was good.
You? Jessica came over today.
And we finally got an invite to her wedding.
What took her so long? We've just been disagreeing on stuff.
How did that go? I haven't heard about it.
I don't know.
I was just taking a break from her because she has opinions about everything.
Hm.
We worked it out.
Everything's fine now.
OK.
I'm glad it all worked out.
Next time on Music City [CHEERING.]
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
The first problem, you guys weren't having a good time.
Can I hear it before I sign off on it? Can I see that it's being done right? So what did you think? You all know that Jessica's getting married.
This is the first I've heard about it.
No way.
Real quick, when is it? It's next weekend.
I appreciate you ending things with Jeremiah.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
