Nashville s03e09 Episode Script

Previously on "Nashville" What happened with your children that's a story.
The whole point of the article is transparency.
Well, what if I give you a different story? Head-on collision took their lives.
But you can't believe that your family would want you to turn your back on your music.
They made me look like a total idiot! It's a reality show.
They made you look like a sex symbol.
We're gonna raise our baby together.
And we got this.
I know how much you love your son.
But I left Natchez because I wanted something different.
I didn't know where else to go.
More than 21 million children live in poverty every day.
Toys for tots is able to reach fewer than half of those, leaving 14 million kids at risk of not experiencing the joy and the magic of the holidays.

And cut.
Great.
Okay, let's tweak the lights a little bit.
And let's go again.
Whose idea was this Christmas special again? Hey, it's just three days, and it's all for a good cause, babe.
And the Christmas record.
Hi, my babies.
Hey, mom, uh, why aren't we using our own stockings? Yeah, none of this stuff is even real.
I know.
This place isn't my house.
Hey, it feels homey to me.
Oh! Thanks, babe.
Thanks for the hat.
All right.
That is not much to look at.
It's beautiful.
I got to get going.
Giving Maddie her lesson at Rayna's house, so I'll leave y'all to, uh rest.
That's just might be the most heartbreaking song about heartbreak I have ever heard.
No wonder you won that thing.
They say write what you know.
Well, I'll tell you what I say.
This co-write is gonna be a big hit on my new album.
Well, if it is, it'll be because your amazing voice is singing it.
- Oh, come on.
- No, seriously.
I mean, you're that rare breed of songwriter and performer.
I've always dreamed to do both myself.
Don't you do that already? I heard you were playing Winterville Nashfest.
What's your band's name again? - Zag.
- Zag, that's right.
Yeah, but that's not really going anywhere.
Oh, no.
You have a manager? - No, but - You should meet mine.
It has made all the difference in the world in my career.
And Noel's gonna be at the fest anyway.
I could just arrange for y'all to meet.
- Noel Laughlin? - Yeah.
Wow, yeah.
T that would that would be amazing.
- I I'll just text the guys - Sure.
and and then get the band together.
Great.
Hey, uh, now that I've done you a favor, maybe you could do me one.
Do you have any producers for me? I'm looking for somebody really current and fresh, you know? Somebody who could capture my sound.
Ms.
Barnes? Yes.
Doctor's ready for you.
Great.
I will just get my boy birthing partner.
He's just in the hallway.
I'll be right back.
She said she wanted to meet me? Cool.
Yeah, no.
She's totally hot.
Tomorrow? Uh, yeah, that should work.
I I'll just give her a call and work it out.
Um, the doctor's ready for us.
You coming? I got to go.
I'll see you at the, uh, band meeting later.
Let's do this.
Zoey.
Zoey! Okay, I vacuumed the whole house, Deacon has come and gone, I've burned a dozen CDs, and I don't know how you slept through it, but you did, so wake up.
Well, between being broken up and unemployed, there's not much reason to wake up.
Well, I don't know what you can do about the broken-up part, but I reckon if you wanted to find work, you could.
Yeah, there's actually a tour in L.
A.
That my friend Mavis could get me on, but I know you don't want to sing backup anymore, but It's better than sleeping on Deacon's couch.
Hey, maybe you could manage me, too.
I'm not really managing Terry.
I mean, he had a whole career before I came along.
I'm just helping him.
You're just helping him get gigs, get press Did I tell you that people from a television show want to interview him? Well, of course they do.
It's an amazing comeback story.
He was homeless.
Now he's opening on the main stage at Winterville Nashfest Which Zag was supposed to do, too.
- Looks like you might still be playing it.
- What? - All right, y'all ready? Here we go! - Yes.
- Whoo! - Yeah! Aww, mom, it looks so pretty.
This is gonna be the best Christmas ever.
And cut.
Great.
Moving on.
- Deacon, hey! - Hey.
How y'all doing? We're all right, I guess.
- Yeah? Merry Christmas to you.
- Mm, you too.
- Hey, sweetie.
How are you? - Good.
- Hey, stranger.
- Hey, right back at you.
Only time I see you is you're on TV with an armful of CMA awards.
I still haven't gotten over it.
Thank you for your text, by the way.
Sure, of course.
I'm sure you want to go change out of those clothes.
Yes, I do.
It's pretty.
Come on.
Kind of a Hollywood Christmas going on, huh? Yeah.
You still got all your stuff, though, right? - I like your Christmas stuff.
- Yeah, of course.
They said this would show up better on TV or something.
I bet it'll do that.
Well, it's for charity, and and Luke really wanted to do it, so, it's Sure.
Uh, anyway, you can have your Christmas when you want to later, right? Yeah, although we're gonna be in Australia, but we'll make it nice.
Anyway, thanks for doing this here today.
Maddie was insistent that she have her lesson, - even if we had to shoot here today.
- Well, it's a big one.
- It's the last one of the year.
- Is it? Yeah, and we got a day and a half, then we go out for two more weeks, and the tour's over, and Y'all have your big day, and Right.
Oh, uh, speaking of that, I got her a little travel guitar, a Baby Taylor.
Can I bring it by tomorrow, say my goodbyes? Of course, yes.
Hey.
We're we're ready.
Oh.
Okay.
Great.
Okay, I'd better get to it.
Bye.
Remember when we used to think shooting the show was a nightmare? It's a piece of cake compared to all this promotion.
Gina.
Ratings for the third episode are even higher than the second.
We have four more appearances next week.
Well, at least we have tomorrow off.
Oh, uh, don't bother.
All we have is beer.
Well, I'm not going to the store.
Because last time, I bought some soup, and some guy asked me if I'd be able to get the cans open.
Well, at least everybody's not asking you to take your shirt off all the time.
I'm so tired of being us.
Well, maybe we should take a break from it.
There's got to be someplace nobody cares who we are.
- Hey.
- Sorry.
Been meaning to give this back.
Right.
Where's Micah? Uh, he's watching TV in our in my my bedroom.
This is a band meeting, right? Right.
So, as you both know, we were booked to play Winterville Nashfest before Zoey and I, uh Broke up, so you canceled the gig.
Well, I should have, but I didn't, which is kind of irresponsible, I know, but anyway, it doesn't matter, because I still think we should play it.
- Why? - I don't know.
A one-off is not high on my priority list.
W well, look, if we play our cards right, it might not be a one-off.
Noel Laughlin wants to meet us, see us play.
Big-time manager, that Noel Laughlin? Yeah, he's looking for his next act to break.
He he wants it to be a band.
Yeah, but still, I don't know.
Look, just 'cause Zoey and I broke up doesn't mean the band has to.
Thank you.
Have a good night.
- I'm gonna say goodnight to our director.
- Okay.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm gonna sit.
Hey, what are you doing here? Uh, came over the minute I got this.
Advance copy.
How is it? It's mostly positive.
There's some crap in there about the supposedly extravagant lifestyle you lead, but the good news is there's no mention of the Maddie/Colt situation.
- Really? - Yeah.
Okay, good.
What's the bad news? Made a bigger deal out of your relationship with Deacon than you probably would have hoped.
"Of course I want Deacon to move on.
I want him to be happy.
Why hasn't he? You'll have to ask him.
" That's not how that's not what When does this come out? Tomorrow.
- How we doing? - Good, good.
We're just about ready to shoot your first scene.
Okay, good.
All right, I will be two seconds.
Okay.
- You gonna get that? - No.
You ain't either.
Deacon.
Okay, sorry, this is getting ridiculous.
I know I've left you a ton of messages.
Will you just please call me? I just want to talk to you before you read the Rolling Stone article.
If you haven't read it yet, don't, and please just call me, all right? Bye.
You gonna try her back? I don't know.
You're still gonna take that guitar over to give Maddie I'm about 10 different kinds of pissed.
You got somewhere to be? Are you sure about this? East Nashville is the land of hipsters.
No way anybody here watches our show or listens to our music.
Oh, my God.
You.
I told you this was a bad idea.
Where did you get that beanie? Did you buy it here? Oh, no.
Uh, well, I don't I don't remember where I got it.
Well, anyway, I dig it.
Told you.
You want to grab a beer? No, uh, I actually was thinking I was gonna see some music first.
All right, well, no reason to be "Will and Layla" today.
Uh, go do our own thing and text each other when we want to meet back up? Yeah, total freedom what a concept.
Well, something like that.
Winterville Nashfest all-access pass.
Should be fun.
- Oh, and this got delivered.
- Thank you.
It's the latest mix on Layla Grant's album.
Maybe you can listen to that on the way to the festival.
Ugh.
Um, why? The whole point of going to this is to hear good music and enjoy myself.
I know, but they need approval on that by Monday.
I'd rather drive in silence.
How's it feel to have walked away for two decades to now find yourself center stage again? I'm not sure I've had time to feel much at all, except gratitude for this young lady here.
Uh, that would be Scarlett O'Connor.
Uh, I won't won't say she pushed, but she nudged me just a little.
You have an interesting story, and unusual.
Many people living on the streets suffer from mental illness, physical disabilities, substance abuse none seem to apply to you, so why were you homeless for so long? I've had some depression off and on, and, uh, at times, a couple of those other things you mentioned did come into play.
Understandable, given your loss.
It was your wife and two children who were killed in an accident is that correct? I'm really sorry to interrupt, but I got to get him to the stage.
So, thank you so much for your time.
- Oh, okay.
- I'll see you over there.
Well, good luck tonight.
I'm sure your family would be proud.
Specifically asked you not to mention his family.
I can't believe you've never had a funnel cake before.
Hey, come to think of it, neither have I.
Hey, you're hogging it! Mm, this is good.
Zoey! I missed you! Hey, buddy.
I miss you, too.
I didn't know you were gonna be here.
Well, uh, he's been dying to see the band play, and I arranged a playdate for him with a little buddy of his while we have our meeting.
Can I get some lemonade, too? Uh, yeah, sure, buddy.
Thanks.
So, you think we got a chance with this Noel Laughlin guy? Yeah.
I do.
I really think we can make it work.
You ever gonna go in? No.
Then what are we doing here? I'm reading a magazine, and you're looking out for anybody who is doing anything or talking to anybody.
Oh, my God! You are stalking Avery.
I'm not stalking him.
I'm curious! Oh, my God, that's him.
That's him.
Tell me what he's doing.
This is ridiculous! Tell me what he's doing! He's putting his guitar in his car.
What about now? He's checking his hair in the window.
Oh, so, he's obviously trying to make himself look good for somebody.
What about now? I he's driving away.
Then what what the hell are we doing still sitting here? Follow him! Fine.
But for the record, this is stalking.
Hey, man.
Know what you want? Yeah, another beer, I guess.
- Care to try something different? - Sure.
Bourbon stout knocks the socks right off hipsters if they wore socks.
I'll try my bourbon with anything.
Get this guy going on bourbon and he's not gonna shut up, trust me.
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.
- Hey.
- Mm.
- See you at home.
- All right.
Enjoy.
Here it is.
And cut.
Okay, great.
Let's set up for the next shot.
Oh, good lord, can you give that thing a rest for five minutes? - I'm sorry, babe.
I just.
- Yeah, I know.
I know.
You, uh haven't talked to Deacon yet.
You know, the only thing worse than this story of your life with him coming out two weeks before our wedding is your obsession with it.
I'm not obsessed with it.
Okay.
Listen, I'm not happy about it either.
But unfortunately, it goes with the territory when you're linked to a public figure.
Well, I just wish I had never done that stupid article in the first place.
But you did, and it's the cover of Rolling Stone, and it was an important business move, so just let it go.
I cannot believe it took that long to rent something that makes me even shorter.
I don't see him anywhere.
There's a lot of guys here with longish, brown hair and leather jackets.
I'm pretty sure just asking him whatever you're trying to find out would be easier than stalking him like this.
I already told you I am not stalking him.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
That performance at the CMAs - I mean, you were vulnerable and strong.
- Aww.
Not many people can pull that off, seriously.
Aww, thank you.
I appreciate that.
And what you did with "Don't Put Dirt on my Grave" that's the vibe that I'm looking for personal power.
Well, that's that's cool.
Well, listen, not to get too technical, but I like to record analog first.
Yeah, you're totally not stalking.
Look at him.
It'd be so much better if he were with some stringy-haired, know-nothing, wannabe bimbo instead of some skinny, gorgeous, CMA-winning musician.
I'm sure it's not what it looks like.
It's always what it looks like.
Thanks for getting your, uh, manager to come see us, too.
Of course.
Yeah.
Now watch him snap y'all up and get you so much work, you don't have time to produce my album.
Hey, listen, I promise.
Even if we did get signed tonight, I wouldn't let the band or anything distract me from Did he see me? I don't know! You didn't give me time to find out! Oh, I got to go.
Juliette? Hey! Are you following me? No, I'm here listening to some fabulous music.
What are you doing here? You know, you don't even have to tell me, 'cause I overheard the whole thing on the phone yesterday when you were setting up this cute, little date.
- What? I'm not on a date.
- Yeah.
Yeah, and you're right.
Sadie Stone is hot much hotter than your giant, pregnant whatever I am.
I'm gonna go.
Uh, it seems like y'all have some stuff to talk about, so, it was really nice to see you, Juliette.
- I'll see you later.
- Sadie.
This wasn't a date! Sadie's looking for a producer, and I'm trying to provide for our child.
You just blew a huge opportunity for me! God, you know, I really thought we'd put all the drama behind us and figured out how to be friends.
Guess not.
I'll take another bourbon stout.
Careful, now.
This stuff's got twice the alcohol as normal beers.
- Get you drunk before you know it.
- I'm not worried about it.
So, you're gay, huh? I am.
You got a problem with that? No.
No, no.
I I'm just curious.
Not like that! Just I was wondering how you could stay in a place where people aren't accepting of, uh alternative lifestyles.
First of all, it's not a lifestyle any more than being straight's a lifestyle.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean Second, who's to say I'm not accepted? I mean, sure, I get the occasional sideways glance, but that's their problem, not mine.
I guess.
Where's that beer I ordered? Coming right up.
I found a way to hide all my crying most days, most of the time it seems to work just fine I found a way not to miss someone write down all the bad, put it in a book and read it every day like a good girl should I found a way not to miss someone I found a way not to think about it I found a way Never would have expected to see you here.
I I never expected to hear you sing like that.
Thanks I think.
No, I'm serious.
That was, uh, really good.
And I I feel bad for being surprised by that, but, uh I am.
Hey, sorry I'm late.
How did it go with Sadie Stone? Well, let's just say Juliette crashed our meeting in more ways than one.
Pretty much ruined any chance I had.
- Man, that's terrible.
- This must be Zag! Noel Laughlin.
Gunnar.
Scott, CMA winner for songwriting.
Avery, you produced "Don't Put Dirt on my Grave.
" Big fan.
Thanks.
And you're Zoey.
Your voice is as stunning as you are.
- Thank you.
- It's true.
There's the makings of a huge band here worked right, maybe the next lady a.
How do we make that happen? Based on what I've heard, I'm confident I can keep you guys plenty busy on the road.
Could probably get you some gigs as soon as next week.
- Seriously? - Next week? That would be amazing.
Y yeah, I just thought we'd build to that, maybe record an album first.
Yeah, but we can do that on the road.
Yeah, while building a fan base and making money.
Well, I'm not really in it for the money.
It's more about Maybe that's because you have a whole bunch of it in the bank while some of us are sleeping on our friends' couches.
- That was by choice.
- One you forced me to make.
You guys really gonna do this right now? I'll tell you what why don't you talk amongst yourselves, and maybe we'll regroup after your show.
You know what? I, uh, I've had enough ex drama for today, so y'all figure your stuff out.
I'll see ya backstage.
- Ms.
Jaymes? - Yeah? I'm so sorry to bother you, - but do you think you can sign this for me, please? - I sure.
What's your name again? Lexy.
I'm one of the P.
A.
s.
Deacon! Hey! I brought you your early Christmas present.
No.
- Is this a travel guitar? - Yes, it is.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, you can take this right on the plane to Australia.
Oh, my gosh.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
- You like it? - I love it so much.
- Well, good.
You can practice while you're gone.
- I will.
I just can't believe I'm not gonna see you till next year.
Oh, it'll go quick, and we'll talk on the phone, and - Yeah.
- How about that.
- I know! - Amazing.
- I know.
- Listen, I got to go, okay? - You do? - Yeah.
Merry Christmas.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
- I'll call you from the road.
- Mm.
Deacon.
Hey, Deacon.
Come here for a second.
Just please let me explain.
Explain you're gonna explain.
What, how you took 20 years of our history, and you just hung it up for the whole world to see? You can explain that? The reporter was going to divulge inappropriate information about Maddie, okay? What are you talking about? He walked in on Maddie and Luke's son kissing.
- Luke's s - So, I had to protect them.
Okay, fine.
You protected her.
What does that have to do with all the stuff you said about me? I had to say something.
I had to give him something.
I had to make a trade.
So, you gave him us.
You gave him what we had, what was private, what you had insisted for years was private.
You just sold it to a magazine.
It was the last thing I wanted to do.
But you did it.
And I don't get it.
And I don't know how you're living your life this way.
Are we feeling good? - Think I like the small shows better.
- Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, you you're gonna be fine.
Don't worry.
- How many people you think are out there? - Well, we got a blast from the past playing for you all tonight.
A lot.
Hailing from Memphis and back with a vengeance - But they're all gonna love you.
- Mr.
Terrance George! It's gonna be good.
Go on.
Go have fun.
Little tune called "Storms Coming.
" One, two.
Storms coming around me again storms coming around me again dark clouds follow wherever I've been wherever I've been thunder is crashing thunder in my mind all the lightning making me go blind You insisted that we do this show to impress that guy.
We can still impress him.
He offered us gigs, and you shut him down, Gunnar.
I had no choice.
I I can't just leave Micah and go out on the road, can I? Then why are we even doing this? Because we're a great band, a and you're a great girl.
And wouldn't it just be great if things went right back to the way they were? Would that be so bad? I cannot believe you manipulated me.
- I'm just trying to make you see that it can work.
- That you would rather me play mom to your kid than play music.
No, thank you.
Wow! I had no idea you could be so incredibly selfish.
If it's selfish to not want to be tied to your responsibilities, then yeah, I guess I'm selfish.
W hey, wait.
Hey, w what about the show? Play it or cancel it.
It's your band.
- Great shoot today.
- Have a good night.
- Good night.
We'll see you in the morning.
- Okay.
What time are we starting again tomorrow? I think I'm gonna grab a quick shower.
You care to join me? Uh, no, I'm gonna check on the girls, get them to bed.
All right.
Ow! Hey! - What happened? - We just took them out of the oven.
I guess she forgot the pan was still hot.
Mom, it really hurts! All right, let's put it under cold water.
Let me get you some ice.
What about the gingerbread men? Well, the gingerbread men are gonna be fine.
Why were y'all baking cookies tonight, anyway? Because we always do it at Christmas, and this is, like, the only time we're gonna be at home to celebrate.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I know it's a weird Christmas this year.
But I promise you, when we're in Australia, we're gonna do all our fun stuff.
We will.
You can't bake cookies in a hotel room, mom.
Yeah.
Hey, tomorrow, after this crew leaves, and we're all wrapped up, let's bake cookies and sing carols and get all our old stuff out.
You want to? - Yeah.
- Yes.
Yeah.
Let me see.
Think we're gonna have to amputate? - No.
- Yeah.
Do you have a knife.
Can you grab a knife? No, no, no, no! We love you, Terry! - Daddy! - Terry! Terry, no! Don't stop! Hey! Whoo! Hey, Terry! Terry, wait! No, Terry, come back! Love you, Terry! Terry, wait! Stop! - Yeah, Terry! - Terry, stop! Great, man! - Hey.
- Hey.
Girls get to bed all right? Yeah.
Daphne burned her hand.
They were baking Christmas cookies.
I just don't think they're doing well with the whole idea of us being out of town for Christmas.
Well, listen, they'll come around.
My my kids have spent the holidays in so many different places.
Every year is a different adventure.
Well I don't know.
It's just we've had the same traditions since they were babies.
It's always been a special time for us, so I just feel a little strange, that's all.
Okay, well, we're starting a new family, and we'll make some new traditions.
On tour, with cameras in the house? Is that how it's gonna be? Rayna, this Honeymoon Tour was your idea.
We have committed dates.
We can't back out now.
You know that.
Yep, I know.
I am aware I committed to the Honeymoon Tour, just like I committed to the Rolling Stone article.
I know.
Man, this Rolling Stone thing again.
Rayna, look, I love you.
I do.
And I have been trying to navigate your difficult past with Deacon.
And I know I've had my missteps, but you got to help me out here.
We got to get past this.
Will you forgive me? I'm gonna go talk to him so I can make it right.
You do what you got to do.
Zoey, have you seen Terry? I can't find him anywhere.
He ran offstage.
I'm sorry.
I've got my own problems to worry about.
Wait, you're set to be on in about 20 minutes.
No, they're set to be on onstage in 20 minutes.
I'm done with Gunnar, with the band, with all of it.
Okay, I know what "done" feels like, and I know how quickly it can change, so just stay with me, help me find Terry, and I will take you right home after.
We'll talk about it.
I don't have a home here, Scarlett.
I'm gonna go grab a cab.
I hope you find him.
Wait a minute.
Wait, so so, you got into music by listening to Joni Mitchell? Yeah.
Are you kidding? I wanted to be her you know, to sing songs that really meant something.
Wow.
Problem was I really didn't have anything to say, so kept trying to be somebody that I wasn't.
Mm-hmm.
Well, strange as it sounds, I can relate to that.
I had my own musical aspirations to get over.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Were you in a Dave Matthews cover band in college? Oh, please.
I might have done the occasional "Satellite," yeah.
Mm-hmm? Okay, well well, play me something then.
I don't think so.
Come on.
Don't be shy.
Terry? Terry! Terry! Thank goodness.
I'm so sorry I lost you.
Y I've been looking everywhere for you.
You all right? Oh, this little pixie been trying to save me for some reason.
Oh, come on, man.
You don't belong here.
- Let's just go.
- This this is where I belong, and you need to stop acting like you know better than me about that! No, I don't know better than you.
I just know that feeling good makes you feel really bad.
No, you don't! No! You don't know a damn thing about me.
You know what it's like to have people clapping and calling your name and loving you, the whole time your wife and your own children laying dead on some highway? No.
I I don't know what that feels like.
I'm so sorry.
I do believe that they wouldn't want you to be afraid of any happiness I ain't afraid.
You're the one who's afraid, pretending you don't want what you been pushing on me.
I'm not pushing any of it on you! I'm trying to help you! I don't want that! Ah! I sang with you.
I felt it, and you did, too.
So, either that makes you a liar or a coward.
I'm not a liar! Okay, then.
That makes you a coward, then.
I'm not.
Don't got to prove it to me, 'cause I don't give a damn.
Now go home, coward.
You're gonna have to take Zoey's verse on "Ain't Leaving Without your Love.
" I'll cover the the harmonies.
I really don't think we should stress about it.
I doubt that guy's even here anymore.
I'm not doing it for the manager.
I'm doing it for Micah.
You got to do it for yourself, too.
Well, I'm happy to fill in for you, if you'll have me.
I know all your songs.
You sure you could do that? Hell, you sure you want to? I do.
I appreciate you coming by.
Oh, yeah, of course.
I just wanted to make sure that nothing that happened earlier is gonna affect Avery's chances of producing your album.
You know, I haven't made any decisions yet.
I'm still meeting with people.
Yeah, I've been in this business long enough to recognize a "no" when I hear it.
Here's the thing.
You're a fool if you don't let him produce your album.
I'm telling you, he is the best thing that has ever happened to my music.
He's an amazing producer.
He's a great guy.
Juliette, I'm no stranger to drama with exes.
And you and I, we're on the same label.
We're gonna be seeing a lot of each other.
- It could get weird.
I - Stop.
My hormones got out of control earlier, and it's not gonna happen again.
I'm telling you, you need to work with Avery.
It's the best move for both of your careers.
And I swear I will stay out of the way, and I will make sure that nothing gets weird just 'cause the two of us aren't together anymore.
We're just friends.
And I'm very aware of that now.
Oh, hey, man.
Let me give you a hand with that.
Oh, no worries.
I'm almost done.
Oh, no, no, I've got you.
I got you.
Thanks.
Oh! Aah! Yo, buddy.
You okay? You okay? Yeah.
All right, man.
You good? Whoa! Dude! I I'm flattered, but no.
Come on, man, just a little hookup.
It's no big deal.
It is to me.
I'm in a relationship.
Does that mean anything to you? Yeah, you know, I don't want to get in some big discussion about it.
If if you're not interested, it's fine.
Look, there's more to it than anonymous hookups.
At least there should be.
If you knew who I was, then you'd know that's all it ever can be.
So, who are you? What's up, East Nashville?! You all look great tonight! - Whoo! Yeah! - You okay? Yeah, it's just PTSD.
I'm fine.
We are the band formerly known as Zag.
We got a little lineup change for y'all tonight.
Someone who I've had the pleasure of writing with and performing with the amazing Scarlett O'Connor is with us! This is a song called "Borrow my Heart.
" Won't you borrow my heart? Take it, love, as long as you need won't you borrow my heart? And don't you ever give it back to me don't you ever give it back to me it served me well but it's better in your arms since the day I fell I'd never get it all oh, my, my oh, my, my with every beat inside of my chest it's all for you you've made me a mess no more me no more I only we we're gonna be won't you borrow my heart?

Thank you! Hi.
You've reached Layla.
Leave a message.
Hey, uh, I can't find you, so, um I'm just gonna head on home.
You know, if I were you, I wouldn't give up on being a serious musician just yet.
Ah, I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed.
But not for you.
You were incredible today.
I mean it.
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
Yeah, well if only everybody didn't see me as the girl curious about robot voices.
I don't.
At least not anymore.
Looks nice.
Thank you.
Listen, just so you know, all the things that have always been important to me are still important to me including you, which is why it absolutely kills me that I had to sacrifice that part of us to the world, to the press.
I would never have done that Listen, Ray, I know now why I got so upset about that article.
It's because it was true.
Everything you said in that article is true.
I've never been able to let go of you.
I didn't let go when you married Teddy.
I haven't let go all these years.
I'm not letting go now.
So, you were right.
I have to ask myself why.
Why am I not letting go? Why won't you? Because I love you.
That's it.
It's easy.
I always have, and you're gonna have to just deal with the fact that that ain't gonna change.
I swear, I've been kicking myself these last couple days about that article, but you know what? It was a good thing that it came out.
Why's that? Because it needs to be said, Deacon.
I am getting married in two weeks.
We've got to face the truth.
I've moved on.
You got to move on, too.
Hey.
Hey.
How did it go with Deacon? It went.
Not great.
Doesn't surprise me.
Yeah! Oh! Micah, shh, shh.
Hello? Gunnar, it's Noel Laughlin here.
- It served me well - I just wanted to call to say I was blown away by your show last night.
- But it's better in your arms - Thank you, we pulled it off by the skin of our teeth.
- Since the day I fell - Maybe.
- I'd never get it all - Truth is, you're even better with Scarlett O'Connor in the group.
- Oh, my, my - Well, the three of us have, uh history.
- Oh, my, my - Look, what I said yesterday still stands.
Your band can be huge if you're willing to hit the road.
Well, I appreciate that, Mr.
Laughlin.
I do.
But what I said still stands, too.
Might be the right time for the band to go big, but I'm afraid it's not the right time for me.
I got a family to take care of.
Hey.
Come in, please.
I just wanted to come by and say "thank you.
" Sadie called.
I got the gig.
- You did? - Yeah.
You did? Oh, that's great.
Congratulations.
Well, she said you put in a good word.
Well, I figured it was the least I could do after causing a problem in the first place, which I'm very sorry about.
Hey.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
It's not, and I get it.
You know, you're gonna date people, even if it's not Sadie.
Are you are you dating Sadie? No.
No.
No.
Well, whoever it is, I'm gonna try to just handle it better, like a real friend should.
Got to say, it was kind of cute you were so jealous.
Well, it's kind of cute that you came up with an excuse to come over here.
I do have a phone you could have called.
Well, I was was in the neighborhood.
