Nashville s03e06 Episode Script

Previously on "Nashville" - Is Micah mine? - Yes.
Thank you for the sandwich.
- What's your name? - Scarlett.
I'm Terry.
I hate you.
It's just a stupid bar fight.
Flirted with the wrong girl.
I need to know if I can sign a couple of kids to the label With only one parent's consent.
Shooting Ruke Pretty tweet-worthy stuff.
Ruke is the thing that they're all saying.
After sending some text about being pregnant, you won't even face me?! What's wrong? Can't breathe.
Juliette, what's wrong? What happened? Can you please clear this path for me? Juliette, can you hear me? - What's wrong with her? - Is she gonna be okay? I need you both to stay back.
I'm going with you.
It's okay, baby.
You're gonna be okay.
Hello? Hey, it's Zoey.
I know things are complicated between you and Juliette right now, but she just collapsed backstage.
- What happened? - I don't know, but they're taking her away in an ambulance.
So that's the real reason you left Texas You got pregnant.
I'm sorry.
I never should have said anything.
You could have called.
You could have written! My parents wouldn't let me.
You know how controlling they were.
You know how much they hated you and Jason.
Well, you got away from them eventually, didn't you?! Do you think it was easy? I took Micah, and I left with nothing! We slept in my car.
I had to buy him clothes and feed him.
So I'm sorry if finding his father wasn't my top priority! But you did find me, right? You found me at the Barn party.
Why didn't you tell me then? I don't know.
So you were just gonna leave town and never tell me Never tell me that I have a son! To make it easier on Micah, yeah.
I never told him, either.
Me and him That's the life he knows.
And now I have a chance to make something with this guy in Tulsa.
I don't even know what to do with all this.
Just forget I said it.
It was a mistake.
Why did this happen to me? Well, sometimes, it's a random occurrence, but we're running tests to make sure.
You suffered a pulmonary embolism.
A blood clot in your leg went into your lung.
We've started anticoagulant meds to dissolve the clot and to keep you from forming a new one.
- What about the baby? - The baby's fine, too.
Until we get the results, just try to get some rest.
You gave me quite a scare.
Where are you going? Everyone's downstairs, gathering for the CMA nominations.
Oh, good God.
What is it just morning grumpiness, or is there a problem? I get it.
You think Luke's a great guy.
That's fine.
Doesn't mean I'm gonna climb out of bed to celebrate the man.
You don't have to celebrate.
You can just be sociable.
"Sociable" only reason I'm on this damn tour is 'cause he's making me be.
You do realize we met because of it.
And that's the one good thing came out of it.
Still rather be home, spending time with my daughter.
That's why I'm gonna do my bit and not one damn thing more.
Look I know you don't want to be here, and I know why, but it's not the worst hand to be dealt.
You done? You know what? Lighten up.
Breathe a little.
You'll be a whole lot happier in life if you try and make the most of it.
- Hey! - Hi! - Good girl.
You brought that champagne.
- I did.
I don't normally drink this early in the morning.
Well, it's the CMA nominations.
It's your first shot at a nod! You got to have a glass of champagne.
What if I don't get one? Well, then we'll just drink it straight from the bottle.
You have a shot at so many nominations.
Are you nervous? Uh, I don't know.
I don't usually get nervous with these things, but, um I think because it's the first year with Highway 65, it sort of has more meaning to it, so, yeah, I'm a little bit nervous.
Should we start drinking now, do you think? Uh, yes, we should start drinking now.
Okay.
Whoa! Whoo! Yeah! Hey, listen up! I'll tell y'all what! If I get nominated in all five categories, everybody's getting bonuses.
Whoa.
Reality crew coming through.
Hey, hey, babe.
W what an awesome surprise.
Yeah, I guess I just had to be here to see if you get nominated for anything.
What happened to your hand? What happened to your face? Everybody, quiet.
They're starting.
It's country music's biggest morning as we announce the nominations for the 48th annual Country Music Association Awards.
We're joined now by Sara Evans, live from the Waldorf Astoria, to reveal the nominees.

Well, we'll get our chance to celebrate.
Yeah.
Have fun.
All right.
Love you.
I love you.
Bye.
So, Amy, I know you're a huge country-music fan, like I am.
What do you think of the nominations? Well, with Rayna Jaymes and Luke Wheeler getting nods in all the major categories, I think it's safe to assume that Ruke-mania has officially spread from fans to the voters.
And you got to believe that getting minted "country music's superstar couple" had a lot to do with their huge success.
Well, they do seem to be in the spotlight - What? - Quite a bit these days.
Any surprises for you? You know, Robin, I'd say the biggest surprise was the fact that Juliette Barnes didn't receive a single nomination for her "Inside the Dream" album Just the one nomination for song of the year, which was a co-write with Avery Barkley.
Word is that after the concert last night in Cincinnati, she was rushed to the hospital.
Sources say it could be exhaustion, but you never know.
Either way, not a good day for Juliette.
That was the craziest feeling last night.
I was trying so hard to breathe, and I just couldn't.
I actually felt myself slipping away for a second.
But you know what? I'm still here, and the baby's all right, and I don't know what they're talking about, but I'd say that's a pretty good day for me.
Hey.
So, you're all right? Yeah.
And the, uh, baby's all right? Yeah.
Well, I could use some coffee.
How'd you find out? Zoey called me.
Drove all night to get here.
Did you see we were nominated for a CMA? That really what you want to talk about? No.
What what do you want to talk about? How 'bout the fact that you told me you're pregnant in a text? I wanted to tell you outside of that jail, but you were so upset with I think I had a right to be angry.
Yes, but look, I don't want to keep arguing about the past.
Oh, no wonder you didn't bother telling me in person.
You've moved on.
It's not It's It's not even like that.
Why are you even talking? Look, I I I shouldn't have come.
Clearly, you're covered.
Avery.
Avery, he's a friend! I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Hey.
You got a minute? Yeah.
Uh, congratulations on the CMA nomination.
Best song that's That's not too shabby.
What? Oh.
Yeah.
Thanks.
I wasn't watching.
I got a bunch of texts about it.
How could you not be watching? I have a son.
He's 9 his mom was my first girlfriend.
She showed up at that barn party a couple weeks ago.
Wow.
That's That's great, isn't it? They're leaving town.
Thinks it's better for the kid if I just I just forget about him.
But what about what about what's better for me, huh? Oh.
Have you talked to Zoey about it yet? She's out on tour, and You know me.
You've seen where I came from.
You even knew Jason.
I can't lose any more family, even if it's family I just found out I had.
Well, then don't.
How? I mean, they're leaving.
And she doesn't want him to know I'm his father.
Take advantage of the time you've still got with him.
Start by being his friend.
Hey! - How about that? - You the table! Congratulations! Thanks.
Wow! Congratulations to you, too, Sadie.
Thank you so much.
Fantastic.
- Thank you.
- Wow.
Great day for Highway 65.
Yes, it is.
Yeah.
Hey, did you see what they said on "GMA" after the announcements About how Luke and I got more nominations because of our engagement? Yeah, but that's just one comment.
I mean, you can't worry about that.
It's not.
This one's been on Twitter all morning.
I just wanted to go on there and thank the fans, and then I couldn't look away, 'cause it's it's not good.
This whole thing with Luke has opened up a whole new world, and, you know, you did decide to expose yourself more to the media than you ever have before.
But you know what? I worked so hard on this album.
I mean, I put everything into this, creatively and financially.
You know, and this feels like it takes away from that.
And that's not fair.
I earned this.
And I think it could really damage my credibility.
Jeffi just wanted to thank you for the party last night.
That was a lot of fun.
It was good to get out.
I'm glad you had a good time.
And I, uh, I enjoyed meeting Natasha.
I think she liked you, too.
Hey, why don't you come on over to my place for dinner tonight? I'll call Brianna, Natasha, - and we'll make a night out of it.
- Ready, daddy? Uh you know, I I maybe.
Uhl-let me get back to you on that, okay? Bye.
Hey, listen, Maddie, I need you to watch your sister tonight.
I've got some last-minute plans.
I can't, dad.
Actually, I'm hanging out with Colt tonight.
We're going to the diner down the street.
That's fine.
Just take your sister with you.
Are you serious, dad? She'll ruin it.
I'm standing right here.
It's just for a few hours.
Oh, my gosh.
Why are your plans always more important than mine? Look, honey, if you want to be treated like an adult, you need to take on some adult responsibilities sometimes.
Fine.
Whatever.
Thank you.
Just to the diner and back, okay? Okay.
Don't embarrass me.
Can't make any promises.
Hi, Terry.
Scarlett.
You back so soon? I had to come thank you for helping me with my song.
I was so stuck, and you fixed it up perfect.
So I'd really like to do something special for you in return.
How about a hot meal? I'll I'll wash your clothes for you.
Well, I told you, I don't take no charity.
But if you got a job for me, I'll accept whatever payment you see fit.
You know what? My uncle's gutters could use a real good cleaning.
How about that? Feel like I've been hearing bits and pieces of that for weeks now.
Yeah, well, I started writing it right around the time I met you.
Mm.
Thought it sounded inspired.
Actually, I think I got me a chorus.
Thinking about bringing it to the guys and, uh, debuting it tonight during my set.
- That's a great idea.
- Yeah? Mind if I ask what sparked it? Just something that come to me right after you left this morning.
You can thank me later.
Hey.
That hurt? Yes.
Well, maybe we should let the doc take a look at it.
No.
How much you had to drink? None of your business.
You know Kind of how whatever or whomever you're doing is none of my business.
I know this has been tough, but it's our last day of shooting.
You think we can get through it without any drama? Doesn't drama make for good TV? - I cannot believe you're still here.
- Why wouldn't I be? Well, I can think of a few reasons why.
Got your test results.
Is this the father? No, but it's fine.
Juliette, you have factor V Leiden gene mutation, which is an increased tendency to form abnormal blood clots.
It's something you were born with but often only reveals itself in pregnancies.
Okay, so What does that mean for me, in terms that I understand? - You have to stop touring immediately.
- What? Why? At this stage in your pregnancy, any travel puts you at high risk of another clot, which, frankly, is too dangerous.
Okay, so that's it? I I have to stay here? I can't leave? No, you're free to return to Nashville, but that's it.
You can resume normal activities Even finish your film.
But keep your hours short, and you're gonna be fine.
You knew you were gonna have to stop touring at some point.
Yeah, but I thought I had more time than this.
I get it.
It's a big change.
But you don't have to go through this alone.
I'm just saying We could see where this goes.
You're a great guy.
You really are.
And I know Avery's a mess right now, but He showed up.
And I need to figure out what that means.
You still on cloud nine? Have you seen all the stuff that people are writing about us, that we got nominated 'cause of our relationship? Darling, you cannot pay attention to that stuff.
For one, it's not true, and, two, it's not us.
I know, but it still sucks for people to say that we don't deserve it.
Well, I know one way to prove them wrong.
Just, you know, win.
That is not in our control.
Well, I don't know about that.
Why do you think I am flying in Sara Evans tonight to sing with me? I didn't know you were flying in Sara Evans to sing with you tonight.
Listen, these days, you want those trophies, you got to campaign.
Uh-huh.
I see you are wasting no time.
Well, you know me.
You should think about doing the same.
Listen, I got to go, okay? I love you.
I love you, too.
Hey.
Um, they're ready for you.
What do you think about campaigning for this? For the CMA's? That's not something you've ever done before.
I know, but it would be sort of nice to just fly in the face of these critics.
And it would set up Highway 65 for good.
Yeah.
Hey, y'all! You really shouldn't be here.
I want to see Micah before you leave.
No.
Look, he doesn't have to know I'm his dad, but I want to get to know him, all right? - Gunnar! - Hey, buddy.
Came by to see if you wanted to hang a little before you leave town.
That'd be great.
Hey, we're leaving tomorrow.
I still got to pack.
Well, let me take him off your hands for you.
I mean, heck, he can even stay over if it makes it easier.
Can I, mom? Please? All right.
Thank you so much! I'll pick him up in the morning.
All right, buddy.
Grab your stuff.
Oh, yeah Storm's comin' I can't get away Mmmm Storm's comin' I can't get away Everybody's leaving But I have to stay Storm's comin' The doctor said I could resume normal activities.
I normally walk.
Sorry.
Hospital policy.
It's Avery.
Leave it at the beep.
Damn it.
Just got off the phone with the producers.
Not too happy we didn't tell them about the pregnancy, but they want you to finish the movie.
They're gonna move your scenes up so they can shoot you out as soon as possible.
But they agree not to tell the press? Well, yeah, but, I mean, we can't avoid them for long.
They're already swarming this place.
Plus, I got to call the promoters, I got to cancel the rest of the tour dates.
We need to make a statement.
Glenn, I can't tell the world what's going on in my personal life when I don't even know myself.
So, what do you want to do? Where do the backup singers stay? That's Maddie.
That's Daphne right there on the left, that one.
They're both beautiful.
Thanks.
And talented, too.
You should hear them sing.
I saw them at this, uh, that fundraiser.
You must have a clip of them on there.
I do.
Yeah.
Okay, well Well show them.
All right, here we go.
I will hope, and I will love They're amazing.
I will give till there's enough They're so good! You should give them a record deal.
Oh, that's not up to me.
Have you thought about that? Uh That's what the girls would want, sure.
But I don't know.
Maybe.
We'll see.
You'd be the coolest dad ever.
Yeah, they'd owe me big-time.
You know, I meant to say something earlier.
Your hair I dig it.
Thank you.
Hey, colt, this scene is beat.
We should go somewhere else.
Yeah.
Um, you up for it? No.
We're not allowed.
All right.
Well, I'm gonna head out.
A actually, I know a place we can go.
Where? Dad said we can only come here.
I know.
Come on.
Thank you.
I've got one more song I'd like to do for you tonight.
Bring out Luke! It's a brand-new one.
Hope you like it.
We want Luke! We want Luke! We want Luke! We want Luke! We want Luke! On second thought, y'all enjoy will Lexington and Luke Wheeler.
Hey.
Hey! I wanted to hear that song.
Well they sure as hell didn't.
You see 'em? I swear to God, I don't even know why I'm here.
You're not here.
What? You're on this incredible tour, and all you ever do is complain.
I mean, do you even like music? What are you talking about? Look, I've stood behind enough people to know when someone's heart's not in it.
I'll tell you what They know it, too.
I would kill to be on the front of that stage, but just 'cause I'm not doesn't mean I'm not gonna sing my ass off.
I just didn't have 'em, okay? Right.
Here you go.
All clean.
Thank you.
It's all right.
Here.
It has been a while since I had a home-cooked meal.
Oh, I hope you like it.
What was the song that you were singing up the ladder? Oh, that's just some old blues.
Ain't nothing you would know.
Just I I didn't I didn't know anybody was even listening.
I couldn't help it.
I like the blues, and you've got a great voice.
I'm from Memphis.
You throw a rock, anybody you hit's got that.
You ever sing professionally? Uh, a little.
I It's real good.
You can have as much as you want.
There's more there.
Oh, I found this.
Um Didn't want it to go through the wash.
Is that your family? They're beautiful.
Do you see them ever? That's enough! That's enough with the questions! I'm so sorry, Terry.
This is none of your damn business! I get a call from the executive producer of "Dancing With the Stars.
" They're doing a country night in a couple months, they need a musical act, and they're hoping to get you and Luke doing "Ball and Chain.
" See, I just don't feel like Luke and I should be that linked to each other during this award season.
I I think I need to be independent.
Okay, uh, you want me to tell them no, just look for other opportunities? No.
Tell them I'll do it And I'm doing it alone.
Pretty ballsy move, taking my stage last night.
I was just trying to help out.
Oh, I'm pretty sure the only person you were trying to help is yourself.
You can pack your stuff.
You're gone.
Wait did you come here to fire me? No, actually, I came here looking for Avery, but this was just a bonus.
Is he here? Will you excuse us? Avery.
What are you doing he? There's something I need to know.
Did you drive all night for me Or for the baby? I don't know.
Well, if it helps you figure it out, know this I kept this baby because it's yours, and I wanted to tell you To see if there was a chance for us.
But you told me I was nothing to you, and I accepted that.
But you're here.
And I know you loved me once, and I ruined that, and I have to live with that.
But can you? 'Cause there are only two ways that I'm gonna do this With you all-in or without you completely.
Now, that's your choice.
All right, Milwaukee! Let me hear you! Come on! That's it.
Listen, y'all are such an incredible audience that I got a special treat for you tonight.
Not sure if y'all watched the CMA nominations this morning, but a very good friend of mine was kind enough to read my name a total of five times.
And as a thank-you, I flew her out here tonight to sing a song with me.
Give a big Wisconsin welcome to Miss Sara Evans! Yeah! Hey, Sara.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Now, listen, what do you think You think we should do one of my songs or one of yours? Well, I think since you're the one about to get married, you should start learning how to compromise with a woman.
Let's do one of my songs.
All right, let's do one of yours.
Here we go.
I never pictured us ever fighting this much Thought we were figured out, but it's so messy now Your words, they cut so deep, I think that you should leave I'll have to live without what I can't live without It already hurts, so before it gets worse Just put my heart down, put my heart down Put my heart down, put my heart down And walk away This kind of love is dangerous So pack up all your things, just leave some air to breathe A million toxic tears falling like rain 'round here This is the final hour The end of our story tonight And I don't wanna fight So put my heart down, put my heart down Put my heart down, put my heart down And walk away Just like it was a loaded gun Put my heart down, put my heart down And walk away This kind of love is dangerous Do you know where Maddie is? Who? Come on, guys.
Knock it off.
You know, there's something special about you.
What makes you say that? I'm an incredible judge of character.
- You are.
- See? Care for a dip? You're a natural.
Too bad I'm leaving tomorrow, or you could teach me how to play.
You guys move around a lot? Yeah.
But mom says she really likes this guy.
You know anything about him? I never know much about any of them.
Well, maybe you'll like this one.
He won't be as cool as you.
Let's try it again.
Seriously, it was like my entire life just exploded at once.
My parents got divorced, I found out my dad wasn't even my real dad, and everyone just left.
Mom's on tour, Deacon's on tour, and suddenly my dad's got plans at night.
Well, you still have Daphne.
Don't even get me started on her.
For what it's worth, now you've got me, too.
Hey! Which one of you actually lives here? I can't tell how much I appreciated you flying out for this.
Well, my motto is, "if you send a private jet, I'll be there.
" Hey, say hello to will Lexington.
- Hi.
How are you? - Hi.
Sara, I'm such a big fan of yours.
To hear you say my name today was just I can't even tell you.
Oh, thank you.
And I'm actually a huge fan of yours, so How cool is that? Hey, you know what he should have been nominated for, is best liar of the year! That song, "If It's Love" What a joke.
Hey.
You got a situation you might want to tend to over here.
You know, I could've been nominated for best new artist of the year.
Did you know that I had a song that was n°1 for a whole week? Hey.
How 'bout we get on out of here? Why? The party is just starting, right? Whoo! Okay, okay.
Come on, now.
Come on.
Let's No! No.
I'm having fun.
I'm allowed.
Please don't do this.
Not now.
Back off! Hey.
What was that all about? Uh lovers' quarrel.
Listen, about earlier I want you to know I heard you and that you were right.
I've been dragging through this tour and letting all the crap get in the way of the one thing that ever really mattered to me, which is the music And I do love it.
Okay.
You don't believe me.
I didn't say that.
Excuse me.
What are you doing? I'm gonna play you that song.
Ain't gonna away, ain't gonna break Got what it takes to keep me on the run Not gonna stop for anything I'm gonna roll, roll into the sun Ro-o-o-ll into the sun Breathe in Breathe in breathe in I got another day ooooh To breathe in Breathe in Oh, oh, oh, oh All: oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Yeah Come on.
I don't know what's going through your mind.
My knight in shining armor.
Get off.
What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell are you doing?! That! That's what's wrong with me! That's why I'm like this! 'Cause I know That even touching me makes your stomach turn.
I'm I'm so sorry.
Just go! I know you don't believe this, but I really do care about you.
Well, that makes one of us.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Thank you.
- Hey, thank you.
- Night.
- Good night.
Night.
Mmm.
Oh! What a night! Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.
Enjoyed myself? This Natasha I mean, she's something else.
I mean, she's smart, funny, sexy as hell.
I mean, she is the full package.
Well, you get what you pay for.
Yeah, right.
All right, please Please tell me you're kidding.
They're prostitutes? Well, I think they prefer the term "escorts," but yes.
Okay, I know what an escort is, Jeff.
How could you do that to me? Hey, two days ago, you told me you didn't know what fun was anymore.
Today, you just played Marco polo with a beautiful woman Naked.
I realize that, but I'm the mayor, for God's sake.
Exactly.
And you just had an incredible night, no strings attached.
She's not gonna call you, ask you for anything, or sell your story to the tabloids.
This is what men in your position do to make life a little bit easier.
Well, she sure as hell had me fooled.
She was thoughtful.
She was a good listener.
I thought I could talk to her.
That's why they call them "professionals.
" They know exactly what to say or do To make you feel better.
Oh, crap.
I got to go.
You keep putting on shows like that, you're gonna need a whole new room in your house for all those CMA's.
Thanks, babe.
I'll see you later.
- Great show, Rayna.
- Loved the show, Rayna.
Thanks, y'all.
Hey.
Hey.
Great show.
Thanks.
Why do you look so glum? "Dancing With the Stars" passed on you singing alone.
Rayna Jaymes is on the line.
Hello, Rayna.
What can I do for you? Hey, Ken.
I just wanted to call you personally.
I know you and Bucky had a conversation about why we feel it's important for me to do the show by myself, but I just wanted to tell you I love the show, my girls love the show, and I really would just be thrilled to do it.
Listen, Rayna, I'm a big fan, but at the end of the day, we need what's most promotable for us, and that's you and Luke singing "Ball and Chain" together.
And I do understand that, and that's why I wanted to let you know that I'm actually just about to drop a bonus single for my new album, and I thought Wouldn't it be great to do it as an exclusive debut on your show? I mean, it doesn't get much more promotable than that.
If you can guarantee that, you've got a deal.
All right, well, sounds like we got a deal.
Thanks, Ken.
Bye.
Please tell me you have a bonus single that you haven't told me about.
Nope.
But we got two months to find one.
Hey.
Maddie did what? I can't believe that you called the police.
Maddie, people were breaking things.
I couldn't find you.
Thank you for letting me handle this myself.
You got it, Mr.
Mayor.
Daddy.
Where were you? Why didn't you answer me? I was so scared.
I trusted you.
Please don't tell mom.
It's too late.
She's already on her way home.
Thank you very much.
I really appreciate that.
- That's real sweet of y'all to say.
- Excuse me, ladies.
I just got a call from Rayna.
Apparently, your daughter and my son decided to throw a party at her house.
Maddie threw a party? That doesn't sound right.
Well, it happened.
The cops came and everything.
I just thought you should know.
I'm flying back now to deal with colt.
Well, if you're going back, I'm going with you.
Yeah, I don't think so.
You look pretty comfortable right here.
Hey.
Come on, now.
This is my daughter we're talking about.
Hey.
Didn't know you both were coming.
Hey, by the way, I sent colt with the police back to his mother's house.
Oh.
Okay, thanks.
Yeah.
Where's Maddie? She's in her room.
Where's Rayna? Upstairs with Daphne.
She was pretty upset.
How'd they even get over here? They met colt at the diner, and he drove them here.
And where were you during all this? I had a last-minute appointment.
But why is that your business, anyway? Because you're the parent in town.
You're supposed to be on call.
Yeah, well, easy for you to say, not being here.
What, do you think that's my choice? I'd be right here if he wasn't forcing me to be on tour.
Whoa.
You don't say a word to me for two hours on my plane.
Now you're taking shots.
- Is it true or is it not true? - God.
Hey.
Um, hey, Teddy, can I talk to you for a sec, please? Yeah.
Look, I don't know what to tell you, Ray.
I made a deal with Maddie, and she didn't stick to it.
I know.
I know.
And I I've been trying to make all of this work, but the fact is that you never talked to me before you decided to add more dates to your tour, and you never considered the extra pressures that puts on me here at home.
I'm not blaming you, okay? You know, I just hate the situation that we're in right now.
And I thought about this all the way over here.
I don't want to just quit the tour.
I believe in the way we raised our girls.
I don't want to send the message to them that we don't trust them.
And also, frankly, I don't want to send a message to them and to any other girl out there that in order to be a mother, you have to just drop everything.
No, okay, I agree.
I mean, look.
Let's let's just put this in perspective, okay? I mean, yeah, she disobeyed me.
She made a very poor choice.
But she didn't rob a bank.
Still, this wouldn't have happened if she had more supervision, and that's not on you.
So, I mean, what do you have in mind? Dad? Hey.
I really messed up bad.
Yeah, you did.
I don't know what you were thinking.
I guess I wasn't.
I miss you.
I miss you, too, sweetie.
That can't be a reason to act out like this, though, you know.
It's dangerous.
You know, it makes us worry.
Yeah.
Can we see you upstairs, please? Yeah.
Nice of you to come.
You know, we talked about all the sacrifices we were all gonna have to make with me being out on the road, and a big part of that was you taking responsibility, and you didn't do that, and because of that, damage was done to this house.
I'm sorry.
I'll make it up to you.
I promise.
And listen to me.
I know that this probably wouldn't have happened if I'd have been here, and that breaks my heart, 'cause now we're gonna have to rebuild the trust between us, and that's gonna be hard to do with me out of town.
But I know you can do it.
Yeah.
And your father and I were talking about something that I think might actually help with that, which is that we're gonna get a nanny.
Okay.
Now, look, one more thing.
The most important responsibility you have right now is being a big sister, so don't put Daphne in a situation like this again.
You understand? Yeah.
All right.
Hey.
I don't want to be angry anymore.
It was making me a disaster.
And I can't keep punishing you Not if we're gonna raise our baby together.
Wouldn't be fair for our child.
So I've decided to forgive you.
Wait.
I forgive you, but I still don't trust you, and I can't be in a relationship with someone that I don't trust.
Okay, so, what are you What are you saying? What does that mean? You gave me two options, and I'm not picking either one of them.
Whether or not I get to be this baby's father Is not your choice.
Hey, did your people talk to you about this opportunity for us to do "Dancing With the Stars"? I haven't heard anything about it, but, you know, if you want to do it, I'm game.
Well I think I'm gonna be doing it myself.
You push me out? Kind of.
I didn't realize when I was talking about campaigning that you'd start competing against me.
Oh, babe, I'm not competing against you.
You know, I just think these awards are really a great opportunity for both of us, and I think it's important for us to do this without being linked to each other the way we have been.
Even though we're getting married.
I think especially 'cause we're getting married.
I mean, all this "Luke and Rayna" stuff I I think it really takes away from the accomplishments that we have made as individuals.
All right.
So, how about this? You do your thing, I do mine.
No matter what happens, win or lose, we got each other's backs.
Absolutely.
I am gonna win those awards, though.
Bring it on.
This is Natasha.
Hey, it's, um It's Teddy From from last night.
What can I do for you? Okay, we got to hit the road.
Go get your backpack.
We've got a long drive.
I'll be out front.
Thanks for not saying anything.
Wait.
You said it would be better for Micah 'cause you have a chance with this new guy, right? - It is.
- You don't know that.
It could just be another city with another guy who's not gonna give him what he needs.
You spent one night with him, and you think you know what he needs? He needs stability.
That's what he needs.
Can we just try? Please? Stay for a while.
He's all the family I have left.
Okay.
Thank you.
Babe, I'm home.
What's going on? All right, I'm gonna keep this short and sweet.
I'm pregnant.
I'll be finishing out the movie, but unfortunately, due to health concerns, I'll have to cancel the remainder of my tour.
Thank y'all so much for coming.
Juliette! Who's the father? The father is Avery Barkley.
And that's all I'm gonna say.
Thank you.
