Are you packing for a world tour? 'Cause I thought you were just going to support Scarlett.
Well, I'm also going to spend the weekend - with Luke Wheeler.
- Hmm.
It all just feels like everything's happening so fast.
I mean, all that business with Deacon and Maddie - was just last night.
- Maddie's gonna be fine.
I'm gonna be taking care of the girls, Scarlett's gonna be knockin' it out of the park, and you're gonna be knockin' boots with Luke Wheeler Sexiest man in country music.
And I have gotten no details about this at all.
So I'm just wondering, is he better than Liam? - I can't compare 'em.
- No, but I think you could.
- No I don't - No, I do.
No, Liam was just so - Easy and fun and simple and, you know? - Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Luke feels like Somebody that I could - I don't know - Be serious with? - I-it's too early to know anything, really.
- Hmm.
Oh! Too early for this? Very nice.
- Put that back.
- It's all lingerie in here.
- No it is not all lingerie.
- Yeah, it is.
- Is my jet ready? - Yeah, it's on the tarmac.
But I don't understand the rush.
And what about the Wentworths? We gotta meet with them in a half an hour - to talk about the music festival.
- Tell them that I had to leave town early.
God.
Well, I'm getting that, but I'm asking you why? It's none of their damn business, that's why.
- Did you get a hold of Avery? - Yeah, he's gonna be at the house whenever you're ready.
Good.
I need to spend time on my music and not on people with expensive hobbies.
Sweetie, look, the Wentworths They're kind of like royalty.
These are not the kind of people - you want to say "no" to.
- In case you haven't noticed, there's no one I can't say "screw you" to.
Deacon? What what are you doing here? What am I doing here? I'm here to see my little niece play in a stadium, that's what I'm doin'.
- And to bring you this.
- Oh! Oh.
Yeah, I know you can't sleep without it.
Yeah, my bed is hard as a rock.
Oh, well, that's life on a tour bus, isn't it? It's nice to see a friendly face.
You okay? Scarlett? Hey, I-I gotta get you in rehearsal.
Oh.
This is my Uncle Deacon, uh, Claybourne.
- Hey, man! - Hey.
- Shep tour manager.
- Hey, Shep, how are you doin'? Make sure you get a front row seat, okay, buddy? I appreciate it.
Gotta get a move on.
All right.
Oh.
Thanks.
Go get 'em.
Tandy, will you just tell the driver I'll be out in two seconds? I'm just gonna leave - a quick note for the girls.
- Rayna? Yeah? These gentlemen need to see you.
Oh.
- You're not my driver.
- Excuse me.
-Miss Jaymes? - You know, if this is about our father, we have a family attorney who usually deals with these matters.
This doesn't have anything to do with daddy.
Court order.
You're in illegal possession of Edgehill Records' property.
What? You need to surrender the masters of your album or face prosecution.
I don't care if I have to go to the state supreme court, - I'm not surrendering those masters.
- Sweetheart, your lawyers are gonna fight this thing, but right now I don't think you have a choice.
Jeff is on a plane The bastard.
I spent all week going back and forth - with his lawyers over this.
- So he issues a court order, and then just takes off for some island somewhere.
Actually, no.
He's He's going to Tampa.
He's going to the Luke Wheeler concerts.
Of course he is.
Excuse me, folks.
I'm not in a position to wait much longer.
What happens if I just don't comply? You'll be in contempt of court for unlawful possession of Edgehill's property.
He could arrest you right now.
This is ridiculous! We're gonna get our team to file every injunction they can to reverse this.
I promise you that, Ray.
You can tell whoever signs for this over at Edgehill not to get too attached to it.
Thank you.
Y'all have a good day.
You, too.
This way, gentlemen.
Will you please book me another flight to Tampa since all this idiocy made me miss mine? What are you gonna do? I don't know.
I'm gonna get my record back.
Dreams Dreams Sometimes it seems I'm haunted by my dreams Pray Oh, I pray 'Cause I know these dreams Can carry me away Everything cool? Um Let's go from the second verse.
You know, if you need to get back to somebody No I don't.
I do not.
Okay, what's, uh, what's wrong? 'Cause that Is not normal behavior.
I just don't want people to keep interrupting.
Look, I'm not your hired hand anymore.
I mean, I'm I'm your friend.
And I'm thinking maybe you came home because you needed one? Hey! Hey.
- Oh.
- Sounded good down here.
Really? Oh, yeah.
Well, I can really only hear drums and bass through these things.
Then you need to talk to your monitor guy about that.
I tried.
He said there wasn't time.
- He had to open the doors.
- Oh.
The stadium's just really big and boomy.
Oh, yeah, but it's gonna warm up when they get all them bodies in there.
That's a lot of bodies.
And they're all gonna love you.
None of 'em more than me.
I'm proud of you.
I could drop down to "a," if you don't like it.
No, no.
Hey, Gunnar, to be honest with you I'm not feelin' that one in any key.
All right.
Well, I-I got a bunch of other ideas.
That first one you played, though, uh, could be a song there, if you put a little more You know, "Wheeler" into it.
Meaning what exactly? Well, you know, make it, uh Make it fit me Fit my brand.
You know, um That's why you're here, son, to help me write that 23rd.
Yep.
Excuse me, Mr.
Wheeler, Rayna Jaymes is here.
Oh, fantastic.
Come back with a great hook for us, okay? All right.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Oh.
Hey! Hey! Who's that? A new songwriter Gunnar Scott.
Oh, Scarlett used to talk about him.
I wonder - Hi.
- Hi.
That's a nice hello.
Well, what can I say? I know it's only been a day, but I missed you.
- Oh.
- Mm.
Mm.
Well, I almost didn't make it.
Jeff Fordham decided to issue a court order this morning and seized my masters.
Well, I'm guessing I shouldn't have invited him to the show.
You've got your business relationship with him.
- Mine is strained at best.
- Hmm.
Well - As my daddy used to say - Mm-hmm.
"Attract more flies With honey.
" Uh-huh.
Are you sayin' I'm supposed to be nice to that man? I don't know.
He also used to say, "fight fire with fire.
" - You're being so helpful.
- I know.
Scarlett! Hey.
I'm just coming by to wish you good luck tonight.
Thank you.
I-I didn't realize you would be here.
Oh, no, I come out to all the big shows.
Doesn't get much bigger than a Luke Wheeler concert, now does it? No, it's the biggest crowd I've ever played for.
Mm-hmm.
Well, a stadium crowd can be tough.
You only get one chance to make a good first impression.
Well, uh, since Rayna signed me, it's her impression I care most about.
Well, considering that Rayna failed to buy out Highway 65 and your contract Technically, you answer to me.
Personally, I feel that artists deserve to know where they stand.
But we can talk about all this stuff later.
Now get out there and you have some fun, all right? - Jeff Fordham.
- Rayna Jaymes.
What a treat.
Did you come out to see Scarlett's show? - I came out early just to catch it.
- Well, she's gonna kill it.
- You ready to head on out? - Mm-hmm.
All right.
We will see you later.
Surprised to see you here.
Thought you'd be tied up at home.
Bet you did.
Who's psyched to see Luke Wheeler tonight?! All right, let's go show the world how amazing you are.
Now before I bring out the wheel I got a very special opening act for you guys.
Oh, honey, you are shaking like a leaf! You okay? Yeah, I'm just nervous, is all.
Um, I'm okay.
All right, well, I'd be surprised if you weren't.
Ladies and gentlemen, - just - Put your hands together - Take a deep breath.
- For Highway 65 recording artist Miss Scarlett o'Connor! Whoo! Make me proud! Hey, Tampa! I'm Scarlett.
I wish you hadn't brought in the lawyers.
You should have just kept that between us.
Oh, we're past that point.
You guaranteed me a buyout And unfortunately, you failed to deliver.
I've got a message for you, baby - Whoa! - Oh, hey! I don't like your artist out there.
Okay, I can't hear any vocals in my monitors.
I need you to bring down the bass.
Get it together! Go home! Baby, catch me If you can - Get off the stage! - Hey! Don't do that.
I'm lost.
Where are we? My ears aren't workin'.
Help me out here.
- You suck! - You suck! Could you do you have a mic I could take? No, you need to turn around.
If you don't get back on the stage now, - you never will again.
Come on.
Let's go.
- I-I can't.
I can't.
Hey, Tampa! - Rayna! - I'm so happy to see you.
Listen.
I love a rowdy crowd.
I really do.
And I love y'all so much, but I don't like booin' too much.
I think that's kinda rude.
I've always thought of you as family.
I always will.
So you gotta trust me on something.
This young girl you have right in front of you is one of the most talented artists I have seen come out in a very long time.
And it's not just me who believes so.
Luke Wheeler thinks so, too.
Whoo! Let's put our hands together and give her a nice, warm welcome.
Miss Scarlett o'Connor, and she is gonna play for you, Tampa.
You can do this.
You can.
All right, you go get 'em.
I've got a message for you, baby 'Cause you ain't done nothing for me lately If you wanna be my man Come on, baby Catch me if you can It was supposed to be A one time thing and no strings attached.
And then he started pursuing me and confiding in me and Being there for me.
And actually got me to believe that he might have cared.
And then he sends his wife over to proposition me.
What? Oh, yeah.
Apparently they're into threesomes, and I was the flavor of the month.
Yeah, I had a similar experience being someone's toy.
You did? Yeah.
Well, I mean, not a threesome, but I had what you might call a Sugar mama, I guess.
A manager seduced me with the whole idea of fame and fortune.
You can see how that panned out.
And she conned me into thinking how special I was to her, but I was definitely just one of many.
Nah, the difference is she signed you for a reason.
She saw you as a big star.
I seriously doubt that she saw you as a throwaway.
Yeah, well Let me tell you somethin' You're no throwaway.
And you don't have to keep letting the Wentworths of the world treat you like garbage.
You gotta stop giving these people all your power.
- Hey, h-hold up, Scarlett, Scarlett - No, Gunnar, please, not now.
Look, I just I just wanted to say, - I thought you did - Stop it! Leave me alone! - A great job.
- Gunnar, Luke's lookin' for you.
Uh, yeah, I'll just be a-a second.
Hey I thought you might want this.
They hated me.
Baby, they don't even know you, all right, - 'cause they never even gave you a chance.
- They threw things at me.
- Listen to me - If Rayna hadn't have gone out there This is a Luke Wheeler audience.
If you're not singing about beer or trucks, then they don't want to hear about it.
All right? It's not you.
It's them.
But I let her down.
- You did not let her down, but - I let you down.
You flew all the way out here just to see that.
No, you you didn't let anybody down, all right.
I'm here for you and that's what I'm doing right now.
Rayna is right.
You are a great singer.
You're a great performer.
I know what you're trying to do.
Please, stop.
Just I know you're trying to help me.
I love you so much, but if you could just Leave me alone a minute.
Please.
Please.
All right.
Still try to keep you here Well, is that just your pride? Every day without you, baby Is like a roller coaster ride The verse is good, but the chorus isn't strong enough.
All right, uh, I'll keep workin' on it.
Do that, 'cause when you don't come up with something 40,000 people can sing back at you, they gonna sing something else A song called, "boo! Get off the stage.
" Well, Scarlett didn't deserve that.
Man, she's talented.
So So was her Uncle Deacon.
Not everybody makes it, son As hit performers or songwriters.
Let's go! Go away! Oh, please, could you Oh.
Hey, girl.
I'm sorry.
You don't have to apologize to me.
I messed up so bad out there.
Oh, honey, shoot.
The only time that you'll ever mess up is if you don't get up, dust yourself off, and go right back on.
You only get one chance to impress a stadium crowd.
Who told you that line of crap? Shoot, if that was true, I wouldn't have a career, man.
I got booed so many times, I had people yell, "show me your boobs" so much, you would have thought it was a hit damn song.
But here's the deal You gotta be tougher.
Listen, I wasn't kidding when I said you're a great artist.
You are.
But with that comes a responsibility.
You got a voice you gotta put out there.
You have a gift that you gotta give, you know? You can't let anybody stop you from doing that.
Did you try to buy out 65 from Edgehill? I'm yeah, I'm trying.
But that shouldn't be any concern of yours.
Jeff Fordham told me that it means I don't answer to you anymore.
I answer to him.
No, that's not true.
What I'm trying to do is get us out from under his thumb.
You and I are partners.
- I don't like that man.
- I don't like him either.
He's a bully.
And the thing about bullies is they secretly want to be stopped.
So we can't let him stop us.
Wheels up, Tampa, Florida! Y'all better buckle in, 'cause we're about to tear this sucker down to studs! Here we go! Hey, Jeff.
You got a minute? Yeah, yeah, I was just off to enjoy Luke's show It's bound to go smoother than Scarlett's.
Yeah, don't you ever tell my artist that she answers to you.
Hey, I only told her the truth.
She's under our contract, and so are you, though you've been in breach since day one.
You poached one of my artists, you sabotage another one, you seize my masters.
What is your endgame here? - Profit.
- Of course.
Every day that I don't release a Rayna Jaymes record, I lose more and more of it.
You don't have a Rayna Jaymes record.
The record is not ready, and it is not yours to release.
Well, I'm not willing to wait while you tinker with it to perfection.
We have a window of time to capitalize on your heat since your accident, and that time is now.
With my marketing campaign, - I'm confident we will sell millions, okay? - What are you even talking about?! I'm gonna show you some of the key art.
I came up with the concept myself.
You love it, right? Over my dead body am I gonna let them put out an album with a marketing campaign - that is based around my dead body.
- Yeah, well, we're fighting it tooth and nail, ray.
But from what I understand, Jeff is under a lot of pressure to deliver a big quarter.
You know what? He just wants to look good in front of his corporation.
I swear, I should have just let them arrest me.
Okay, well, as your manager, I beg to differ.
Let me call you right back, okay, Buck? Thanks.
Hey.
Sounds, uh, serious there.
Label nightmare.
Oh, yeah, that new guy? - Yeah, I wanted to - Listen, I wanted to ta - Oh, go ahead.
- No, you go.
I just wanted to say that you were great last night.
And it was really special to be there - with you and Maddie.
- It was great having her there.
It was great Having you there.
I mean, I'm glad you called.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Look, I just I wanted to talk about Scarlett, all right? I just I don't think she's ready for all this.
I appreciate all you've done for her, and you saved her up there.
But this is just gonna keep happening.
These Wheeler fans They're gonna eat her alive every single night, and I just don't think she should be on the tour.
I couldn't disagree with you more.
You know, she's Listen, she had one misstep, - but after I pulled her off - She froze, Ray.
- She froze dead up there.
- Well, she it's her first stadium show.
- Her monitors were screwed up.
- I know.
You know, she got a little bit of stage fright, - but she's gonna get over all that.
- Look, I don't know.
I just think being treated like that, it can be damaging to a person, let alone a young artist.
Remember what Watty used to say? He used to always say, "steel is forged in the fire.
" She wants this.
She's gonna toughen up.
Not everybody's as tough as you are.
Charlie, Olivia.
Juliette What are you doing here? Oh, I have a private jet, too.
So I just stopped by to respond to your lovely wife's invitation personally.
What are you talking about? You really need to be more selective, Charlie, and consider the mental health of your mistresses.
And, you know, I used to think that blue bloods like you were better than me.
But you know what? You're all just a bunch of sick, narcissistic perverts.
Says the mobile home queen.
You know what? I'd rather spend the rest of my life in a double-wide than spend another minute around a billionaire bitch like you.
But I guess my trailer park education did let me down a little bit.
'Cause I wasn't smart enough to realize - just how empty you really are.
- Juliette, wait.
Let her go.
ain't no doubt about it, baby you push me away every time I start to play Start to play That sucks.
Damn it.
Try, um Every time I turn my back, you're begging me to stay every time I turn my back, you're begging me to stay Yeah, that's great.
Well, hopefully it makes up for being so rude to you backstage.
I'm sorry.
Well, I'm sorry about what happened on stage.
You didn't deserve that.
Don't think I'd have the guts to get back up there, though.
Have to.
It's a long tour, and, um Can't let bullies win.
I think Luke's really gonna love that.
See ya later.
Uh, will Will you hold up just a second? Do you mind playing through it just once Just so I can get it down? Do you promise not to boo? Yeah.
All right.
Ain't no doubt about it, baby You push me away Every time I turn my back You're begging me to stay Then you leave me hanging on I don't know where you're at If I knew you were really gone Well, I could handle that It's so complicated It's driving me insane It's just a ball and chain Just a ball and chain Ball and chain You know I like where this is going, but, uh I can't help but feel like your mind is somewhere else.
No, no, I'm sorry.
Well, it's all right.
Oh, gosh.
It's been a rough day.
With the label? With me or show? Scarlett? Not with you.
You're wonderful.
No, I just I can't believe I can't believe I'm in this battle with Jeff.
Well, you want me to talk to him? I got a fair amount of sway there these days, you know? That's very sweet of you.
I'm I'm pretty used to speaking for myself.
Yes, you are Which I find pretty damn sexy.
Well, doesn't seem to be working.
I've been nice to him.
I've stood up to him.
I've Well, hell, what's he want? Well - Quarterly sales.
-Ah.
He wants to release my album is what he wants.
And I you I'm I can't let him do it.
Well, can you blame the guy for wanting to put out the record of his biggest artist? Hmm.
It's so complicated It's driving me insane It's just a ball and chain You hear that? Ball and chain Just a ball and chain - Where's it coming from? - Right there.
I've tried all the things I could do Get me off the hook I'll be damned.
- Kid wrote me a hit.
- But still I keep on falling for Every single trick in the book, yeah - A hit duet.
- All those little games we played Used to be fun hi, honey.
Hey, how you doin'? I'm I'm not doing so good.
Really? What's going on? I don't know.
I've been cramping.
Huh.
Well, did you call your doctor? Yeah, they closed early today, but I left a message with their service.
Do you think you need to go to the E.
R.
? No, I maybe it's just food poisoning or something.
Well, look, I-I can cancel the rest of my day and I'll come home right away.
You don't have to do that.
I I'm sure it'll pass.
Are you sure? Yeah, I'll be fine.
Okay.
All right, look, if things get worse you call me, all right? I will, thanks.
All right, bye.
- Amen.
- Whoo.

I can only imagine.
But more than that, I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.
I mean, seriously.
And I have your Musical therapy session to thank for that.
Well, I didn't think it'd take you all the way to Dallas, - but, hey, whatever works.
- Whatever works! Man, who would've thunk? Bumping into you back in the day at the Opry.
You said you didn't remember that.
It took me a while, but I think I finally put it together.
- It was when Watty white was being honored.
- Yes! - That's right.
- And we collided.
Yeah.
That's funny, you're just now rememberin'.
Well, I guess it just came bubbling to the surface when it was supposed to.
It's Scarlett.

But I am so thrilled about this that I can hardly wait myself.

Ms.
Rayna Jaymes, y'all! Hey, Tampa! How are y'all doin'? Now, Rayna, I know these folks wanna hear you sing just about as much as they do me.
Well, you think we should do one for 'em? What do you say, Tampa? Y'all wanna hear one? Well, how 'bout we play this new one? Never been played before.
It's called "Ball and Chain.
" Should we do that? I'd get along without you, baby If I only could There ain't a thing about you, baby That does me any good But still you try to keep me here, well Is that just your pride? Every day with you is like a A roller coaster ride It's so complicated It's drivin' me insane It's just a ball and chain It's just a ball and chain This is your song, huh? Listen here It is.
I guess you delivered.
Guess I did.
Push me away So about that showcase you promised me.
I'm a man of my word.
Beggin' me to stay Then you leave me hanging on I don't know where you're at If I knew you were really gone, well I could handle that It's so complicated It's driving me insane It's just a ball and chain Just a ball and chain Just a ball and chain You miss that? What, this? I never really did that.
To get me off the hook I blew every shot at being a solo artist I ever got.
Well, you ain't dead yet.
I ain't dead and I ain't done.
They used to be fun Baby, we were flying higher Close to the sun But you're tearin' me apart now I'm a little tired.
I'm gonna go back - to the hotel, give Megan a call.
- Okay.
There's a shadow hanging over us And what was right is wrong It's so complicated It's driving me insane It's just a ball and chain Just a ball and chain Just a ball and chain Hey! - A toast to Rayna Jaymes.
- Aw.
I hope this is just the start of the two of us making great music together.
Cheers! Nice! Mmm.
- Thank you, darlin'.
- Mmm.
My pleasure, baby.
Yet here I am packing up That was pretty amazing.
Yeah, well, you know, that's what happens when people actually collaborate with each other.
Mm.
What the two of you guys did together could be the biggest song of the year.
Well, you know, I was thinking, if you release that as a digital single, it's gonna send your quarterly sales straight to the top.
And it'll get rid of your need to release my new music.
So How do we do this? Well, we could start with you returning my masters and getting rid of that God-awful cover art.
I don't know.
I thought you looked pretty hot in it.
Do we have a deal? Nothing would give me greatest pleasure, than to have a successful partnership with you, Rayna.
I can't believe my song just got played by the two biggest stars in country music.
- That's pretty great.
- Yeah.
Thank you, by the way, for making this song happen.
I just threw you a line.
You did the rest all by yourself.
Yeah, but look what you did out there tonight.
You were awesome on that stage.
You know, this tour is just the beginning.
You're gonna be out on the road for years and years.
- Guess that's the plan.
- Yeah.
Hi, mama.
I pulled it off tonight.
I'm not sure I'm cut out for this, but I think I kinda I have to be.
I'm just in my hotel room.
And I just wanted to tell you that I love you And I miss you.
Um but I'll talk to you soon.
Okay, bye-bye.
Truthfully, I've just really never been a fan of lingerie.
Well, I prefer this to that.
Hmm.
I like being naked with you.
Should help you relax.
At least that's what it said on the package.
There you go.
Thank you.
So I'm thinking I'm gonna I'm gonna take the day off tomorrow and and work from home.
Oh, you don't need to do that.
Doctor said to stay put until the bleeding subsides.
I'm really sorry.
I know you just married me 'cause I was pregnant.
Hey, don't even go there, okay? Come here.
Come here.
It's okay.
Listen, I know that's what brought us back together.
But you're my wife now.
Okay? It's you and me.
Just the two of us.
Hey, hi.
- Hi, hey! Just listen - No! - I am not - Hear me out.
- I don't wanna hear your lies.
- Look, I might be all the things you said, but I'm not a liar.
I'm not interested in you or your wife or your freaky lifestyle.
And I'm not interested in being the empty person you accused me of being.
The empty person I've become.
Look, I'm not here to apologize or proposition or anything.
I'm just here to tell you that I think I'm falling in love with you.
