Nashville s03e07 Episode Script

Previously on "Nashville" Pretty ballsy move, taking my stage.
You can pack your stuff.
You're gone.
Got a call from "Dancing With the Stars.
" They're doing a country night in a couple months.
They need a musical act.
I started writing it right around the time I met you.
Thought it sounded inspired.
Stay for a while.
He's all the family I have left.
Okay.
Whoo! Please don't do this.
Not now.
Just go! Is that your family? Do you see them ever? This is none of your damn business! 'Cause there are only two ways that I'm gonna do this with you all-in or without you completely.
That's not your choice.
but hot damn, it feels good to be back in the States.
Hey, y'all.
How y'all doing? Big plans for the weekend? I'm sure Rayna and the kids are chock-full of ideas, but all I want to do is a whole lot of nothing, but with them.
Hey, make sure whoever gets our bags they get all the souvenirs I got for everybody.
Have it all sent to the house as soon as it comes down the chute.
All right.
Everybody else looks happy to be home.
You look like you're about to face a firing squad.
My marriage seems to work better when we're 5,000 miles apart.
Yeah, well, the road is a good place to avoid real life, that's for sure.
Listen, you holler if you need anything.
All I got on the books is lots of sleep.
Tour kick your butt, old-timer? Something like that.
There you are.
Hey.
Had me all the way back in row 36.
Hm.
Well, you look like hell.
I feel like hell.
Well, I hope that cold doesn't get in the way of you spending time with Maddie.
Well, I probably won't get to see her straightaway.
Her mom's coming back to town, herself.
What are you gonna do with your time, then? Probably just take it easy.
We're back with CMA "Entertainer of the Year" nominee Rayna James.
Great to have you with us.
You're in the midst of a successful tour.
Your album is at the top of the charts.
I think good things happen in threes.
What's next? Well, I'm about halfway through my "Ride Easy" tour, but this weekend, I'm actually going home, going back to Nashville to see my family and my fiancé, and I'm real excited about that.
All right, well, look, let's not keep your fans or your fiancé waiting any longer.
You are in for a treat.
With the world premiere of her bonus track, "Lies of the Lonely," also available for download now, give it up for the queen of country, Rayna Jaymes! This bed feels better with nobody in it well, thank God I don't have nobody blowin' up my phone it's a Friday night and I'm gonna spend it how I want 'cause I've always been a whole lot happier on my own oh, the li-i-i-es of the lonely all the empty words of a solitary mind a thin disgui-i-i-se you think they don't see can't hide the lonely Feels like forever since we laid eyes on each other.
- In your eyes - And, no, Skype doesn't count.
I don't wanna be no ball and chain Honestly, I don't know how you two do it.
- I don't wanna wear some heavy ring - When's she fly out of L.
A.
? She's taking the red-eye tonight.
- I don't wanna be somebody's other - First thing Monday morning, you're in New York for a week of press appearances.
Better make the most of the 48 hours you've got.
Yeah, 47 and change now.
- The lies of the lonely - How long does it take to load the luggage? Let's roll! Yeah the lies of the lonely Thank y'all.
It's all looking great.
The baby's weighs one pound and is eight inches long, which is right on target.
And now that you're in your second trimester, you can find out the gender, if you'd like.
Well, we haven't really discussed that.
No, but I'd I'd kind of like to know.
Oh, well, I'd kind of like for it to be a surprise.
Okay, I'll just put the results right here in this envelope.
And you can have it if you want it.
I'll hold it.
We should, however, decide on a birth plan.
Have you two considered lamaze? I'm not exactly sure I know It's a series of exercises and breath-control techniques used to manage the pain of childbirth without drugs.
Like, no pain killers at all? Might be a healthy option for the baby.
Here, take a look.
Yeah, I don't know.
It seems a little much.
You just said it was the healthiest way.
I'll go get material on other options.
What's the problem with that? Come on, those people are hugging, and, I mean, considering our situation our situation has nothing to do with the fact that we have to get this baby out of my body.
It's just a little too intimate for me, okay? Too intimate?! We've had sex! Well, all we're having now is a baby, okay? Sorry about that.
Okay we have water birth, um, Bradley, hypnobirthing I really wish I could stay longer.
Yeah, me too, buddy.
But hey, we get another night, 'cause your mom's with Stupid Brad.
Don't hate on her boyfriend, all right? Besides, if she didn't visit the guy every week, we couldn't spend so much time together.
Hey, next time you're going for one up over your shoulders, you let it hit you right there between your thumbs and your index fingers.
Can't return a phone call, but you show up unannounced, huh? I didn't want to pay the roaming charges.
I'm guessing this is your son.
Dinner's ready! Micah, go wash up.
Hey, Zoey.
Let me guess you're staying over, too.
Why don't I? Drink this.
It's for your throat.
Thank you.
You going out? I just got home after being on the road damn near forever.
Sorry.
I promised Jeanie another song by next week 'cause Miranda called about one, and then Carrie called about another.
All right, I get it.
You're on a roll.
Go.
Apparently.
What are you doing? You been writing? That's all I've been doing when I wasn't playing.
That's productive and lonely.
Wasn't that lonely.
What's her name? Oh, no.
It wasn't like that.
Well, I guess it was like that, but really more a friend than anything.
Backup singer Pam.
Well, if, uh, Pam is in town with the rest of the tour, why don't you invite her to dinner tonight? 'Cause in my experience, what works on the road generally doesn't work so well at home.
Well, I am exhausted, man.
Tell you what finding this song and recording it and getting it ready for tonight, all while on tour I'm on fumes.
I am so happy just to go home and do nothing this weekend.
Well, how about maybe doing a little something? What? You know that Rolling Stone article, that one-pager you were supposed to do in a few weeks? Now it's a full-on cover story.
Another artist dropped out last minute.
That's awesome! It's great, but here's the thing it has to happen immediately.
Reporter's gonna meet you in Nashville tomorrow.
Oh, no, no, no.
Well, they can't do that.
I promised the girls, I promised Luke, I'm planning my wedding this weekend.
No, you don't understand.
This is a full-on, behind-the-scenes look at your life.
I mean, they want to see you at home.
I don't want them at my home.
Ray, you know how few country artists get this shot? Plus, the CMA members are still voting.
The timing's perfect for us.
No, buck.
I need this weekend.
Just push it, please.
It's not an option, Ray.
I mean, I hate to put it to you like this, but it's either a weekend off or the cover of Rolling Stone.
Still can't wrap my head around you being a dad.
You sayin' I'm immature? Well, you are sort of a big kid.
Am not.
I'm just saying it's a big life change.
Well, not really.
I mean, when I'm writing, he's at school.
It's only when his mom's out of town that he stays here, and Zoey helps me with that.
And how's that working out? She hasn't complained.
What? I may not be an expert on women, but I know 'em well enough to know when they're pissed.
Oh, so that's why you're staying on our couch tonight? How's it working for you two? Well, I haven't seen or talked to her since we shot the finale two months ago.
Oh, so, good? It was never good.
You know that.
Well, at least the reality show is done.
Until the premiere tomorrow.
Hopefully, it'll tank so we can get a nice, quiet divorce.
Done.
All of Micah's clothes are washed and packed.
Now for my favorite part of the day relaxing with you.
Mm.
Dad? Dad, I need you! He's been having nightmares.
I'll be right back.
Who wants more bacon? Me, please! Extra crispy.
That's how I like it, too! And, if I recall correctly, you like it burnt.
I do.
You, sir, you like it chewy.
Here, have a couple.
Thank you.
Voilà.
Hello, family! Hey! Mom, you're home! Hi, my babies.
How are you? Oh, I'm so happy to see you guys.
You too.
Welcome! Hey, y'all.
Hi, Sage.
You made it, finally! The house is still standing.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Thank you very much.
Hey, come here for a second.
Do you have any idea much I've missed you? Not as much as I missed you.
What do you say we get the nannies to take these kids for a bit? Oh! That sounds like such a good idea.
I know.
But, um I got offered the cover of Rolling Stone.
What? That's great.
Yeah, except it means there's gonna be a reporter here all weekend.
Well, I mean, it's supposed to be - an all-family, no-business kind of thing.
- I know.
The kids are sleeping over.
Listen, I did everything that I possibly could to tell them that this weekend was off-limits, and they said, "no go.
It's now or never.
" Well, this is now or never.
I mean, we haven't seen each other in two months.
- I know.
- We get two days together.
You know how these things go.
They have a deadline.
Somebody fell out at the last minute.
They were gonna pull the offer.
But, you know, it's gonna be fine.
I'll spend a little time with this reporter.
We'll still get to do our wedding planning.
We'll have tonight.
Come here.
Where's my damn tissues? Ah.
Never mind.
Can I help you? Just wanted to leave something for my friend Scarlett.
She's right in there, if you want to give it to her yourself.
- No, thank you.
- Okay.
What's going on? This fella here wanted to leave something for you.
Who is he? It's Terry.
He's a homeless man I tried to help a couple months back.
He's Maybe it worked.
He scrubbed up real nice.
Well, you're a sweet girl, but you can't fix everyone.
_ Well, don't stop on my account.
I was just finishing, anyway.
How you doin'? Pretty good.
You? Can't complain.
Look, I've had a lot of time to to think since the last time we saw each other, and I just I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry.
It was your big day.
I I kind of ruined it.
Well, we were both under a lot of pressure.
Yeah.
Uh, I've been working on a lot of my own music, though, trying to help deal with it, I guess.
Well, that's good.
I guess I don't blame you for not really caring about it.
Layla I want you to be happy as happy as you can be.
So, you seeing anyone? No.
You? No.
I've just been focusing on my music.
I'm playing some of my new stuff at the sutler If you're not doing anything else.
Well, I'm not, so I'll be there.
Excuse me.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm looking for a Delta Berkley 3200 crib.
Which model do you want? I thought that was the model.
Are you looking for a standard, convertible, canopy? Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Why not just come back later with your wife? It's not really a wife situation.
Okay.
Girlfriend.
Nope.
Boyfriend? No.
We're not it's it's complicated.
Look, just give me the top of the line.
Smart man.
First child.
I want to do right by it.
I didn't know you were doing lamaze.
The doctor's office just called with contact info for a coach.
Want me to schedule a session for you and Avery? No, the only thing I want you to schedule is a meeting with Rayna because I sent her demos of my new songs weeks ago, and I haven't heard back.
I know, and I just shot Bucky a text, but I'm guessing since she's only in town for the weekend that she'll be spending time with family.
Oh.
Actually, Rayna's at the Highway 65 offices.
She's in the middle of some interview.
Really? What are you doing in here? What's the matter? You you tired? You sick? What's going on? Nothing.
That's just the problem.
One minute, I'm on tour with Juliette Barnes, and the next, nothing.
I have no job, no prospects.
I can't even go back to the bluebird after that send-off.
It's fine by me if you don't work.
Well, it's not fine by me.
I left Natchez so I wouldn't end up being a housewife.
Now it seems like all I ever do is act like one.
Well, look, Kiley's coming back into town to pick up Micah, so tonight, let's have a date night dinner, live music.
Mwah.
You're gonna have me all to yourself, I promise.
One second.
- Hey.
- Gunnar? Hey.
I know it's super last minute, but can you pick Micah up from school today? I just I got a superlate start, and I'm not gonna make it back to Tennessee till after he's out.
Kiley, I can't.
I got a co-write scheduled.
But maybe Zoey can? Oddsmakers in Vegas are predicting you're gonna win big at the CMAs.
We'll see about that.
Oh, what, with your label, your tour, your album, and now your new single? Well, you know, you sow good seeds into good soil, you get a good harvest.
What? Now, that that right there is quintessential Rayna Jaymes speak.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, no, look, I've I've read everything ever written about you, and and what's interesting is there hasn't been a truly in-depth article about your life and career.
Until now? Well, i it is what we're known for you know, not these one-off puff pieces based off of a conversation here or a phone call there.
Well, and that's why I'm doing this with you.
Hey, if you've got time for press, you damn well better have time for me.
Did you even listen to the songs I sent you? I did.
How you doing, Juliette? How's your pregnancy? Fine.
The baby's great.
But what did you think about the songs? I don't think it's your best work.
What do you mean? Those are good songs.
But I don't know where they come from.
They sure don't come from the same place as "Don't Put Dirt on my Grave," I'll tell you that much.
Okay, well, writing with Avery's not really an option right now.
I mean, doing anything with Avery right now is pretty much not an option.
I mean, we're having a baby together, and it's like I'm just this vessel, which really hurts, you know? And I've been trying to shove it down, and I've been trying to stay positive, and then I just start thinking about how much he freakin' hates me, and then that makes me cry, and then I get pissed off that that makes me cry.
- See? This is your song.
- And then I'm just a m That's what you got to write if you feel like it.
And if you don't, then just take care of yourself, 'cause that's the most important thing.
You think he's gonna write me as a hormonal head case? Probably.
Great.
Yeah.
Hey.
Hey.
I love the harmonica.
I never got to thank you for the job or the meal.
I'm real sorry I upset you, asking about that picture.
I shouldn't have stuck my nose in your business.
I pushed you.
Well, I'm I'm glad you did.
You pushed me off my butt, back up on my feet.
I'm staying at a shelter, and I even got me a side job.
I'm making a little pocket change.
Anyway, I should get back to it.
How much for the whole bag? Is that a fair trade? Stack of papers for an afternoon of songwriting? Scarlett! You get that? Scar damn it.
Hello? Is this Deacon Claybourne? Who wants to know? Brett Rivers from Rolling Stone.
I'm doing an article on Rayna Jaymes, and I was just hoping that you could Is it about her, or is it about her music? Well, it's about what informs her music.
You were a big part of Rayna's life, so I just want to make sure that I get the story straight.
Yeah, well, it's not a story I want to tell.
Mom's here! Sorry I'm late.
Traffic was crazy.
Yeah, no worries.
Y'all look great.
Thanks.
We're going out, finally.
That's awesome.
Y'all have fun.
You have everything? - Yeah.
- All right, thank you.
See you, Micah.
- Come on.
- Bye, Gunnar.
Just so you know, I had a babysitter on standby just in case.
Look, she's got to stop dropping him here whenever she wants to run off and see her boyfriend.
I know.
Then you got to do something about it.
Yeah, yeah, I know that, too.
Like that.
That is something else.
God, it's a whole new layer.
Yeah.
Doesn't even feel like work with you.
It's weird, 'cause I don't even know your last name.
It's it's George.
I guess I should tell you about that picture, too.
I didn't mean to snoop again.
I'm sorry.
Well, I'm sorry I snapped at you before.
It was my wife, my son, and my daughter.
Last time I saw them was just before Thanksgiving, '93.
Did you leave them, or they leave you? That's that's that's a hard question.
See, 'cause I told my wife we could eat our turkey after, when I get back, 'cause I I got this big gig up in Chicago.
I knew you played professionally.
You're too good.
Well, I wasn't all that.
Except maybe this one night.
I stood up in front of 5,000 people, and, man, did they love me.
And it felt good.
My wife, though, she packed our kids up and hit the road.
I'm sorry she left you.
Actually, they were driving out so that we could be together for Thanksgiving.
That's that's love, you know? That's the real love.
But me I I picked the other kind.
Head-on collision took their lives.
Is that why you stopped playing music? Well, it took away more than it ever gave me.
So, what's she singing tonight, covers? No, some of her own stuff.
Really? Just last time I checked, she didn't have a whole lot to say.
Okay, everyone, we're gonna get this started.
Um, my name is Layla Grant, and this is a new song.
It's called "Blind.
" Crying underwater breathing in in outer space putting faith into something that could never take place would you give every shard of my heart back to me? Would you comb through the wreckage 'fore it slides to the sea? Dude, seriously, she she write this? - Yeah, she did.
- I've been searching for answers I've been workin' on a cure - I've been a slow-song dancer - I had no idea the girl could sing like that.
- To a rhythm that ain't pure - Me either.
I will come around tomorrow and forget yesterday I will bleed out the sorrow that you put in me today - 'cause I'm goin' bli-i-nd - Excuse me.
I'm goin' blind I'm not one to gossip - I'm goin' bli-i-i-nd - But something ain't right between those two.
Uh, they have a unique relationship.
The baby's kicking.
- Oh, my God.
Can I feel? - Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Oh, what's wrong? I just feel so alone.
Which is crazy because I've got a baby inside of me, and I Juliette, I know it's not the same thing, but Glenn and I we're here for you.
I know.
And I've said some awful things to both of you lately.
I'm sorry.
And I was wondering W would you be my birthing partner? Of course! Yeah? Yeah, of course! That was a great song.
Really had a lot of feeling in it.
Thanks.
You know, before all of this, I hadn't really experienced anything no highs or lows, just just a lot of in the middle.
I guess I have you to thank for changing all of that.
It's hurt but it gave me a voice.
You're welcome? Yeah.
I know you're probably getting sick of me, but with how little turnaround time we have Mm, no, it's fine.
It's, um you know, as long as you like wedding planning.
It's fascinating.
Here's the groom! - Here he is! - Hey, sorry.
I got caught playing mini golf with the kids.
- You missed a good game, Rayna.
- I know I did.
Look Wheeler, Brett from Rolling Stone.
- How you doing? - How you doing? I thought this was just gonna be the two of us - taking care of all this.
- I did, too.
Yeah, we decided to make it a slice-of-life sort of piece.
Yeah, okay.
Shall we start with cakes? Yeah.
Come on.
Uh, so, is Tandy invited? Um she is.
I'll be right there, babe.
One sec.
'Cause she resigned her post.
Yeah, but she didn't resign as my sister.
Of course she's coming to my wedding.
And, uh, your ex-husband, the mayor? No, I like lemon.
I'm just not quite sure what that says about you want to ask the wife-to-be? Yes, I want to taste that.
I'll be right there.
He actually offered to officiate the wedding.
So, you two are close? Try this.
We really should, um wait for Rayna, though.
Rayna.
We're really good.
And, uh, of the 500 people invited to this wedding, how many would you say are in the music business? Excuse me for one second.
Uh, that's a funny question.
That would be, oh, you know Probably all of them.
Where'd Luke go? I just needed some air, that's all.
Where's your friend? Inside.
Will you please come back? - It's freezing out here.
- No, I'm not doing this alone.
I mean, this is supposed to be our wedding.
When's he taking off? I don't know.
I don't know.
He wants to come by the house.
When, tonight? Yeah, and probably tomorrow.
Are you kidding?! I know.
You know this is not how I want to be spending our time together.
Yeah, you think?! Can you try to be a little supportive, please? I mean, you realize we haven't had a single second alone?! I know! I mean, in two months, we haven't so much as held hands! Babe! I know! It's driving me crazy! I hate it! But we agreed that we were gonna just try to make this weekend work.
No, this Rolling Stone thing was your idea.
- It was not my I - Damn it, Rayna! Are you guys coming back in? Yeah.
Yep.
Thought you could use this.
And, no, I'm not stalking you.
I just know how hard it is to take care of yourself when you're sick and alone.
I'm taking care of myself.
Yeah, I see that.
Feel better.
Hey.
I'm a little contagious, but if you want to come on in, you can come on in.
Okay.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- You're welcome.
Terrance George! I googled you.
You forgot to mention that you charted.
I've listened to as much of your music as I possibly could find, a and you're you're amazing.
You still have the gift that these articles are talking about.
Yeah, well, it turned into a curse, didn't it? Contributor! No, what happened was tragic, but you can't believe that your family would want you to turn your back on music.
Well, I wrote a song, didn't I? Yeah, and you should sing it, not just sell it to somebody else.
I wrote it for you.
I didn't write it to sell it.
Contributor! Buy your Contributor right here! O okay, well, can you just do one more thing for me? There's there's an open-mike night tonight at a little place called the Bluebird Café.
- It's a tiny, little thing - I I know what it is.
Okay, well, then you know the label types that hang out there, and I think it would be really cool if one of them bought the song that you and I wrote.
The only way it's gonna get sold is if somebody who can do it justice sings it.
How about you, then? I got a scratchy throat.
Don't do this, please! Hello? Hey.
You all right? Just told Brad about Micah.
He doesn't want kids.
Wait, you've been dating three months.
You just now told him? Nobody wants to date a single mom, okay? Kiley, come on.
I'm sure some guy's No, Gunnar, they don't! Look, Micah he's a great kid.
And if this guy doesn't even want to get to know him, he's a fool.
He is.
I just really wanted it to work out.
Yeah, I know.
But maybe you and Micah can stay here permanently.
I know he would like that.
But, look, if you do stay, you got to show up when you say you will.
You can't just leave me and Zoey hanging and assume it's all right.
I know.
I just really thought that Brad was the one.
Hey, hey, it's all right.
I feel like I'm in a costume.
Like you're an actor in your own life? You two ready for this thing? Yep.
How you doing? It reminds me of the waves they crash and roll away farewell to the setting sun goodbye just seems to come for everything and everyone that I hold dear I didn't know you were stopping by.
- Lord knows I've prayed and cried - I was just delivering the crib.
- Before I see the other side - I told Juliette I'd get it, so here it is.
She's a little busy right now.
- I hope I find the answer - That's okay.
Where do you want me to put it? And it's finally clear before it all just disappears like a drop of rain falling in the sea or an ocean full of memories I've seen this life take what I love had the wind blow it so far from me like everything I love slips through my hands Hey.
Avery just came by to drop this off.
Did you forget to tell him you wanted a co-sleeper instead? I thought maybe it would be better to sleep nex That's fine.
I'll just go back and buy the right one.
No, no, no, no.
What Avery It's an amazing yard.
Yeah, we've had lots of great family time.
You think you've got everything you need, Brett? Uh, almost.
Look, I so appreciate you allowing me into your home.
It's the best place to get a sense of your life together.
We don't have everything figured out, but we've got great kids.
Though it sounds like one of them left the stereo on.
We were just making out.
It's not that big of a deal.
- Yeah, and we beg to differ, son.
- It is a big deal.
If she wants to have this big talk with her daughter, that's fine, but she's not my mom.
She's not anything to me yet.
Excuse me one sec.
Hey! What the hell were you thinking? Are you it's not my fault we like each other.
It is not about whose fault it is.
Bottom line this is inappropriate.
So, I'm just supposed to stop liking him? Yeah.
Yes, you are.
Why, because you're afraid of what other people might think?! No, Maddie.
I am trying to protect you.
Do you remember how you felt when you saw that magazine article? Remember and the way it depicted you? - Yes, I do.
- Yes.
Well, in a couple weeks, he's gonna be your stepbrother.
And I guarantee you if your friends and the media get ahold of this, it's not gonna make you feel good.
Where are you going? There was a reporter here tonight, Maddie, and he was looking for an angle, and I believe you gave it to him.
So I've got to go make sure he doesn't use it.
So, Rayna never lived here? No, no.
But it's like there's a lot of her here.
Not just here, either, but, you know, this whole town Is one giant reminder.
Ever since I moved to Nashville, she's been in my life.
She's been my life.
I get it.
You know, I should probably go.
Pam.
I don't believe I ever met anyone quite like you.
You helped me through a real rough patch, and you helped me find my music.
I'm grateful.
But the road's not real life or real love.
Take care of yourself.
You too.
Welcome to "Love and Country" The story of country-music sensation Will Lexington and his reality-star wife, Layla Grant.
Y'all keep it down back there! I know we got married fast, but sometimes I wonder if he even gets me.
Hey, Will, just think about it for a minute.
How do robots make voices? I'm trying to get ready for my show! Hey, Layla, you seen my shirt? Yeah, he's he's been on the road a lot, but the good news is I'm learning how to do things on my own.
Hey, how How does our can opener work? You got to be smarter than the can! You got to be kidding me! I don't know about this.
And if it's by myself or with you, that's one thing, but but being in front of folks well, you're not gonna be by yourself.
You you got my friends up there.
They're gonna accompany you.
Can I do anything else to make you feel better? You can come up there with me.
You know damn well your throat ain't sore.
Shelter where I'm staying's got a computer.
I googled me some, too.

Terrance George.
And apparently Miss Scarlett O'Connor.
I buy something else wrong? No.
And she'd be pissed if she knew I was here, but I just thought you should know she asked me to be her lamaze partner.
And you're telling me this because ? Because you're the father.
Don't you want to be there for the birth of your child? I will be in the waiting room.
Look, I know you're trying to only be there for the baby and not for Juliette, but they're one and the same until it's out.
Don't you want to witness a miracle? Be sure to take pictures for me.
Emily.
How is she? Really.
She's sad.
Scared.
I'm scared, too.
Blue sky no sign of rain all of a sudden everything changed I couldn't run I couldn't stay dry what do you do when there's nowhere to hide? Carry o-o-on when you lost it all carry on when you stumble and fall carry o-o-on 'cause you got somethin' to say carry on here comes a better day hey, yeah hey, yeah, hey, yeah carry on carry on so young and so free the bright lights started blindin' me back then thought I could fly turns out I had to swallow my pride and carry o-o-on when I lost it all carry on when I stumble and fall carry o-o-on 'cause I got somethin' to say carry on here comes a better day Hey.
Hey.
I didn't expect to see you here.
Well, I didn't expect to be here.
Enjoying the offices? Yeah, thanks for letting me work here.
It's much better than my tiny hotel room.
Yeah.
Um, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all this.
It's a big deal for me.
I've never done a piece like this, and, uh There's a reason for that, you know? I'm a very private person.
I chose to expose my life, but I didn't choose to expose my children's lives, so I wanted to ask you if you would refrain from mentioning what you saw tonight in in the article.
Look, I get your concern, but the whole point of the article is transparency.
Transparency of me, not of my kids.
I disagree.
I mean, you and Luke are superstars blending your families.
What happened with your children today is collateral damage of your lifestyles.
That's that's a story, and I've got to run with it.
What if I give you a different story? What if I give you the story of Deacon Claybourne? You mean your relationship? Do we have a deal? Elvis and Priscilla, Johnny and June, John and Yoko behind every great man is a great woman.
But in your case, Deacon Claybourne seems to be the hidden secret behind your success.
He definitely had a role in it.
You were married once before, and now you're engaged to Luke Wheeler.
But let me ask you if Deacon didn't relapse last fall, would you two be together now? Hey.
You okay? Of course I'm not okay! They made me look like a total idiot! It's a reality show.
Everybody knows it's fake.
Come on.
It's not that bad.
It's not that bad for you.
They made you look like a sex symbol.
They made me look like I don't own any clothes.
I mean, neither of us look good in this piece of crap.
I wouldn't call it that.
You took me totally out of context.
Hey, what happened to all the good stuff we filmed? How come none of that's in the show? Well, it's called editing, and "the good stuff," as you put it, was boring.
We had to make a show.
Well, this one sucks.
And it's not even close to real.
I don't think you want that, do you? So looks like we have a hit on our hands.
Good thing you both signed contracts.
How'd it go? I feel like I need to take a shower.
Hey.
What happened with that reporter? I just had to go some places I really didn't want to go to protect our kids.
I'm so sorry you had to go there, but for my son's sake, I am so grateful.
I'm sorry about this weekend.
Me too.
You know, today was the original date of our wedding.
Which I guess theoretically means we would be at our reception right now.
Want to dance? Do you take this woman to be your wife? Yeah.
You take this man to be your husband? I do.
Sorry I'm late.
Is this The baby's father.
Yeah, I am.
So, what do I do? Well, just take a seat behind Juliette.
All right.
Put your arms around her belly.
Like this? Get a little closer.
Well, we made it together.
May as well welcome it together.
Wait, what what was that? Ooh! That was a kick.
Second time today.
Sorry I missed the first.
Won't happen again.
All right, you go grab your stuff, buddy.
All right.
I thought you said you talked to her.
She's late again.
I did, and I thought she got the message, but This is getting old, Gunnar.
All right, I'll call her, and I'll see what's going on.
Hello? Please tell me you're on your way to pick up Micah.
I can't lose him, Gunnar.
And you won't.
We're here to help whenever you need us, okay, but I have taken care of Micah all these years, and I have finally found somebody who wants to take care of me.
Do you do you understand that? Like, I I need this.
Just slow down a second.
Talk to me, Kiley.
You are so much better as a father than I ever was a mom.
No, Kiley, just just wait a second, okay? Please just tell Micah that I love him, okay? Kiley? Kiley?! When's she coming? She's not.
