Nashville s03e11 Episode Script
I'm Not That Good at Goodbye
Previously on "Nashville" I now pronounce you husband and wife.
And I had to do a paternity test.
Micah's not mine.
I made a terrible mistake.
I can't marry you.
I'd like you to get the hell off my property.
Undiagnosed cirrhosis of the liver strongly pointing to cancer.
They don't know that it's cancer yet.
I don't even care how you found out where I live.
I'm not that scared little girl I was 10 years ago.
Take a few of these.
They'll take the edge off.
Layla! I've got a small problem, and I'm gonna need your help handling it.
Hey, Buck.
Hey.
How you doing? Not great.
I just called off our wedding.
- Yeah, I heard.
- You did? How did you hear? I just did it.
Um, Luke called his manager, his manager called me.
- What did they say? - It doesn't matter.
You're what's important right now.
- What can I do to help? - Nothing, really, unless you can try to make this mess I made go away.
Well, judging from Jimmy's tone, I think we may need to brace for the worst.
I don't think Luke's gonna go quietly into the night.
I hurt him real bad, Buck.
It's gonna be okay, Ray.
We're gonna get through this, all right? Yeah.
Thanks.
Let me get on the phone with Luke's team, see if I can get him to agree to a joint statement.
We both know how P.
R.
conscious they are.
Maybe we can get him to take the high road.
- How's she doing? - Stable.
We're gonna run more tests.
So what does that mean? Is she gonna be okay? Well, Mr.
Lexington, your wife is lucky to be alive considering the amount of pills and alcohol in her system.
- Pills? Y you're sure? - Yes, a lot of them.
Was she struggling with anything lately? Was she despondent? Uh, depressed? You think she did this on purpose? Is that what you're telling me? With this level of toxicity, it's certainly a possibility.
Well, I mean, things have been stressful lately.
But she never said anything about I mean, she never tried to Look, why don't you just wait here and I'll send for you when she's ready, all right? A all right.
All right.
Well, there were drugs found at the scene, some underage drinking, and we suspect two of the guests may have been escorts.
Some party.
Any arrests yet? Uh, no, sir, I was able to speak with my officers right after I talked to you, and they're waiting for instructions.
Good.
Look, I, uh apologize for inserting myself into police business, but, uh, this incident has put me in a very awkward position.
My new music education initiative is in partnership with Edgehill-Republic, and I'd hate to have it scandalized because of Jeff Fordham's poor decision-making.
I understand, Mr.
Mayor, and I think we can easily overlook these lesser charges, but the wild card here is the girl in the pool.
- Hmm.
- And if she wants to press charges, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.
What kind of charges are we looking at? Well, was she served alcohol or drugs? Was she pushed into the pool? Hopefully, it's just a, uh, tragic accident.
- Yeah.
- But there's no guarantees at this point.
All right.
Just keep me posted.
Best honeymoon ever.
Well, don't think you're getting off the hook that easy, 'cause as soon as this baby comes, I want a real honeymoon.
Wherever you want to go.
- Yeah? - Promise.
God, you're beautiful.
Mm.
H h h hey! Where you going? My apartment.
Seeing as how we're married now, I should probably bring over a few things.
What? Now? Juliette, I don't even have a toothbrush here anymore.
Well, okay.
How about this? How about you stay in bed and let your things come to you? I'll have Emily call the movers.
That works for me.
Yeah? - Mm.
- Come here.
So many places I want to go so many people I want to know I want to stay but I want to leave I want it all I've got to believe you can have roots and wings you can have everything you can know where you're from and still want to fly two feet on the ground two hands in the sky you can have roots and wings at the same time at the same time at the same time Yeah! You're sounding great.
You've been practicing.
Thanks.
Can we do one more? No, no more stalling, buddy.
We got to go, so go get your suit on.
I wish grandma and grandpa would just go away.
Hey.
You don't mean that, buddy.
They love you.
They just want to make sure you're living in the best possible place.
But I want to live with you, dad.
Micah look, there's, uh There's something I need to tell you that's really important.
I, uh well I love you, and don't you ever forget that.
- I love you, too, dad.
- Go get your stuff on.
Go on.
Look, Teddy, I don't know what Layla's gonna say.
Can't you call off the cops? I know.
I I know, and I I appreciate it.
Hey, listen, I got to go.
I'm at the hospital.
Let me know if you hear anything, okay? Thanks, buddy.
Will.
How's she doing? How's she doing? Where the hell you been, Jeff? I was taking care of things, man.
In case you didn't notice, my place is crawling with cops.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You better protect yourself.
I am protecting all of us.
What is wrong with you? How's Layla? She O.
D.
'd on pills, Jeff.
What? Yeah, I saw you give them to her.
Yeah.
I did.
I did.
She was hysterical.
But I was watching her the whole time.
She didn't take any.
She put them in her pocket.
She went upstairs to find you.
Wait a minute.
Layla came upstairs? Mr.
Lexington, your wife's awake.
She's asking for you.
There's actually something that would look really beautiful in your hair.
- If you're gonna wear it back - Hey! - Mom, where have you been? - There you are! You were gone when we woke up.
- I know.
- I have been calling you for 45 minutes.
I'm so sorry.
I did not We were supposed to get breakfast before manicures.
I did not mean to alarm you.
I'm so sorry.
Um is there coffee? Yeah.
Absolutely.
Hey, girls.
Why don't you go on upstairs and let your mom have a sec? No, you know what? Can y'all sit? I just want to, um, talk to y'all for a second.
Okay.
Okay.
Here, sweetie.
Thank you.
Um So, after doing a lot of thinking, uh, Luke and I have decided that It would be better that we don't get married, and so we've called off the wedding.
- What? What?! Why?! - Yeah.
You know, it it just turned out we weren't the right match.
Does this mean you're gonna marry Deacon, then? No, honey.
It wasn't an either/or situation, you know? - I just - You love Deacon, mom.
I know that you do, and he proposed.
I know he did, but that was a long time ago.
A lot's happened since then, and and, you know, it's not that simple.
Hey, Maddie, sweetheart.
- I love Luke.
- Maddie! I know, but and Sage was gonna be my new sister.
I know, darling.
Listen, hon Daphne! Girls! Oh, sweetie, baby.
Honey, it's gonna be okay.
- Rayna! - What are you doing? Where is she? I know she's here.
- What the hell you doing? - Hi, Luke.
You lost your damn mind? What's got into you? Just couldn't leave her alone, could you? Always had to be right there, devil on her shoulder, judging her, making her doubt herself.
Oh, my God.
She called off the wedding.
Yeah.
She did.
You happy? Oh, you're damn right I am.
Means I don't got to be civil to you for one more second.
- Get off me! - Get out of here.
She ain't here.
For the record, I haven't seen Rayna in weeks, so it's not about me.
It's always been about you! Every damn day since you two met.
I should have known better to ever go sniff around that bitch.
What did you say? Yeah, it's Luke Wheeler.
Deacon, get off of him! Deacon! Get off him! Stop it! You get off him! He's not worth it! Get up! Get up! Wheels up, jackass.
I'm looking for a gun that could fit into a purse.
I'd be happy to help you out with that.
Just need to see some I.
D.
first.
My name's Jane Smith.
Ms.
Smith, I got just the thing for you.
I can't get anybody from Luke's team to return my calls, but, um, they did send this over.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- What is it? Bill for the wedding.
That's like 50 pages.
No wedding, no people magazine to pay for it, right? Luke has always been a great businessman.
I will give him that.
How do you want to respond? I Hey.
How you feeling? I tried to kill myself and couldn't even get that right.
How do you think I'm doing? Well, believe it or not, I know exactly what you're going through.
I mean, I've been there.
I've There was a point just last year when I was trying to come to terms with who I am.
It hurt so bad, I would have done anything to make it stop.
Anything.
That's right.
Play the gay card.
Poor, tortured, misunderstood Will.
You don't have the guts to be honest, so everyone just has to shut up and suffer along with you.
Only it's not even true, is it? What's that supposed to mean? I saw you.
In a bedroom with a woman.
So it's just me, then? No, Layla.
You don't you don't understand.
I can't do this, Will.
Your secret is killing me.
Layla.
Just go.
Please.
Micah loves it here.
H he's doing great in school, getting all A's and and B's.
He's made friends.
His teacher loves him.
He's he's happy.
My daughter wasn't cut out for motherhood, so I've been Micah's primary caregiver since the day he was born.
The fact that he's happy and well-adjusted is due to nine years of my influence.
Oh, look, I don't even know what we're still doing here.
The paternity test says that Gunnar's not the father, so Micah should just come home with us, period.
Thank you all for your testimony.
Court will recess until 2:00.
What is all this? My stuff.
Those movers Emily got are efficient as hell.
Yeah.
Wow.
Do you need all this, though, you think? I mean, you're moving.
It might be a good time to get rid of some stuff.
I don't know.
Like this could maybe go? I think we're good on comforters.
My grandmother made that for me.
Hey, where do you want this? Oh, just set it down anywhere for now.
You're bringing your furniture, too? Hey, you're the one who wanted me moved in A.
S.
A.
P.
- Are you changing your mind? - No.
No, not at all.
Just around how much more do you think you have? $50,000 for shrimp.
Actually, we have bigger fish to fry.
- You still here? - Yeah.
Uh, we got a problem.
Oh, my God! I know.
So much for taking the high road.
What the hell is he doing? - I got to go talk to him.
- Oh, no, honey.
No, no, no.
That's not a good idea.
It's a terrible idea, but Luke imploding isn't gonna be good for anybody.
You can trust me on that.
- He's out of control.
- Obviously.
- Will you do me a favor? - Yes.
Will you please take the girls to Teddy's, please? I don't want them around any of this.
- Rayna, are you sure? - Yes.
I did this.
I'm gonna figure it out.
- Yeah, that can't go there.
- Why not? - It doesn't match.
- Really? Yes, and it's blocking the patio, and it's just throwing off the whole flow of the room.
You know, there's plenty of room here.
I just feel like there's enough furniture in this room.
Well, I mean, if you don't like it here, it's fine.
I get it.
Thank you.
Wow.
What on earth are you doing here? Today of all days! I'm not trying to cause any trouble here, all right? Oh, really? Well, then, I guess punching Luke in the face in front of the paparazzi that's been super helpful.
You think I wanted to be all over the Internet, huh? He walked right into my house.
- Just - All right?! He was in my hou Please just stop.
What do you want? I I don't know.
I I thought Rayna and I might have something to discuss.
Well, she's not here, so I think you should probably go before the press shows up.
Really? Yeah.
I do.
Do you want to answer that? No.
All right? I know who that is.
There's someplace I'm supposed to be.
Well, maybe you better be getting there, then.
When is dad gonna get home? Stop asking me that.
He told me he was dealing with a work emergency.
That's all I know, okay? Hello? Tell your dad to leave Deacon alone.
It's not his fault the wedding's off.
Really? You're yelling at me after what your mom did? Luke must have done something wrong to deserve this.
Look, the only thing my dad did wrong was ask your mom to marry him in the first place.
Wow.
Okay.
Looks like being a jerk runs in the family.
Yeah, no, I'm a jerk, and you're a perfect little princess sitting in her tower, looking down on everyone else, just like your mom.
At least there's one good thing about all this we will never have to see each other again.
Hey, buddy.
- What you doing? - Dad! You haven't told him? Told me what? Uh, can you just give us a minute, okay, buddy? This is not the time or the place.
You keep on bragging about how much you changed, how you are nothing like Jason, and look what you're doing right this very minute lying to get what's not yours.
You are not better than your brother.
No, please don't tell him.
It's got to come from me, for his sake.
Sign here, ma'am.
Roger that.
- How is she? - Not good.
- What happened? - Me.
I happened.
What was I thinking, you know? She was just a kid.
You thought that you could make it work.
That you could change somehow.
Yeah, well, I can't.
And I know that now.
So what does that mean? I'm gonna need your help.
I've been broken God knows all the stories I could tell I've been broken God knows all the stories I could tell my guitar's so sick of me feeling sorry for myself same old heartache you again did you come to party, do me in? But I don't want to write a sad song I don't want to sing a sad song I don't want to be a sad song tonight no, not tonight You do realize those are $200 a bottle, right? Yep, and I'm putting 'em on your tab.
I know.
I saw that.
I know I blindsided you this morning, and I am gonna be apologizing to you for that for a very long time.
But I really do hope that we can try to deal with this privately between us.
Privately? We we can't do that.
'Cause we're Ruke or Layna or whatever the hell we are.
And no offense, but I respect your right to call off the wedding.
The least you could do is respect my right to be extremely pissed off about it.
I do.
I do.
I get it.
But we both got kids.
And I don't want to drag them through our dirty laundry.
Hey, this remind you of anything? Our first date, remember? It was right here on this very spot.
You were wearing that sexy tank top and those boots I like with the rhinestones.
I couldn't believe you were actually here, that I was the the guy kissing you.
Every bone in my body was telling me to run the other direction.
"She's Deacon's girl.
She's always been Deacon's girl.
" But I was, uh I was too blinded by love to listen.
Babe, I am sorry.
I really am.
You know I didn't want to hurt you.
I would never have done that if I didn't think it was the right thing.
Oh, it sure as hell was the right thing.
For you.
I mean, hell, before me, uh, you were mortgaged to the hilt, saddled with an album that wasn't commercial.
I mean, persona non grata on country radio.
Hell, you were you were basically a legacy artist, but now look at you.
You got a a platinum album, sold-out tour, and all those CMA awards.
I mean, now that you got your six statues, I guess you don't need my seven carats.
You can keep the damn ring, by the way.
Well, if that's how you feel about it, I guess I dodged a bullet, didn't I? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
You'll get your ring back.
Don't you worry.
You sure you're not leaving something out? Scarlett, I swear, all right? You know just as much as I do.
Last time I saw Rayna, she made it very clear she wanted nothing to do with me.
- Did y'all fight? - No.
No.
Wasn't a fight.
Why would she say that, then? Because.
Because why? Because I told her I loved her.
You smile all you want.
She told me to move on, get on with my life, 'cause she was marrying Luke.
And now she's not marrying Luke.
I hope nobody has any plans to go anywhere, because we are now officially surrounded.
Reporters, photographers, cops.
I take it things didn't go well with Luke.
- I definitely made it worse.
- Oh, sweetie.
Rayna, I'm gonna support you no matter what you want to do.
But as your manager, I have to advise you to get out in front of this.
You know it's just a matter of time before Luke talks to the press, and I think you need to speak first, you need to get out there, frame the conversation, and take control of the story.
Damn it.
Rayna? Rayna, what what are you doing? I'm taking control of the story, like you said.
Okay, but I didn't necessarily mean right this second.
I mean, maybe we should take a breath, you know, call a press conference.
You could rest up a little bit, maybe I don't know change your clothes? Rayna, are you and Deacon getting back together? Appreciate y'all's concern.
I know there's been a lot of speculation and conjecture about what's happened today between Luke Wheeler and myself, and I just thought I would tell it to you straight.
After a conversation that we had this morning, Luke Wheeler and I have decided to call off our wedding.
That was a mutual decision.
There was nobody else involved.
So I ask for and and appreciate your respect for our privacy at this time.
And I just wanted to say Hey, Luke Wheeler and I have been friends for many, many years.
We have come up in this business together.
We supported each other's dreams, we celebrated each other's successes.
Our love story may be over, but I have full faith that our friendship will endure.
And and that's all.
Thank you.
That that's it, guys.
Thank you.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! I don't think you should be doing that.
You said that you were getting rid of the chair.
No, you said you didn't want it in the living room.
This isn't the living room.
What is it with you and this chair? It's comfortable and I like it.
But you're making it pretty clear you don't care if I'm comfortable here.
What's that supposed to mean? Well, you've barely made room for any of my stuff.
I cleared out three shelves for you in my closet! Three shelves! Juliette, it's a 400-square-foot closet! Look, we're we're married now.
That means that this needs to be our house with our things.
It is.
Well, me and my three shelves are feeling a lot like guests right now.
And even though our love story is over, I have full faith that our friendship will endure.
And and that's all.
Thank you.
Unbelievable.
She calls it off and spins it to polish her own halo.
Luke, man, you got to get your side of the story out there.
And say what, Jimmy? I mean, after that performance, anything negative is gonna sound petty and bitter.
People gonna think you're holed up somewhere crying.
Is that the message you want to send? - No, of course not.
- Okay.
- What's the response? - I'm gonna have a party.
- A party? - Yeah, a party.
Here tonight.
I already got food and drinks for 500 people.
Let's get 500 fans out here.
Hell, I'll put on a private concert for them, show the world that, uh, Luke Wheeler is doing fine without Rayna Jaymes.
We'll do a shout-out on social media.
First 500 people to show up get in.
That's brilliant, buddy.
Instead of "Rayna jilts Luke," the headline will be, "Rayna jilts Luke, Luke throws a party to celebrate.
" Yeah, the bachelor party I never got to have.
- Get on the damn phone.
Call up the band.
- Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Let's make sure they can come over and play, and we'll blow it up.
Gina, thanks for meeting me.
- Well, you said it was important.
- It is.
I thought you'd like to know that you've just been canceled.
And why would the network cancel their highest-rated new show? Ah, because I asked them to.
And considering the fact that Layla Grant tried to kill herself last night, well, they were only too happy to oblige.
My show didn't have anything to do with that.
Oh, I think we both know that's not true.
So, how many people have seen the video? What video? Will told me everything.
How you put a camera in the bedroom without their consent, that you were using the footage to blackmail them into playing along.
Now, I could use that to kill your career or even have you arrested, but I think we'd both like to keep this quiet, so what's it gonna take to make that footage go away permanently? Sage, you're here! - What happened? - I don't know, but I really hate my mom right now.
Hey.
Hey.
- You can come in if you want.
- Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean any of that stuff about your mom.
Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.
No, you're fine.
My dad can be a real jerk sometimes.
He's actually throwing a party at the ranch tonight.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
getting wasted at my house.
I can't believe all this is happening.
I know.
On the other hand could be nice not being related anymore.
Can I have a moment with Micah alone? Sure.
- We'll be right back.
- Okay.
Hey, buddy.
Look, th there's, uh, something you need to know.
What? See, it turns out we aren't exactly related in the way we thought we were.
See, y your mom accidentally got things a little mixed up, and it turns out that I'm your uncle.
You're not my dad? No, but I'm still your family, buddy, and I still love you very much, and I still want you to come live with me.
You lied to me? No, Micah, no.
I would never lie to you.
I would never do that.
I thought I was your dad, and and your mom told me I was your dad.
I just found out last night that that's not the truth.
Wait.
I want to go home with you.
No, Micah, just just listen to me for a second.
No! You're not my dad! Nothing has changed.
I am still me, all right? Excuse me, is there a problem here? Will you just give us a second, please? - My my son's upset.
- I'm not your son.
- You just said so.
- Oh, God.
I know you're disappointed.
- That's enough.
- Stop.
Stop! Let's go! Sir, do I need to call security? No.
No.
No.
Please.
No, no.
Come on.
Sir! Hey.
Will you bring him back? No! - No! - You need to calm down.
Micah! Micah.
Well, you take care of you and your sister, all right? I love you.
Goodbye.
Well, at least she took your call this time.
That's an improvement.
Yeah, well, I guess she saw the video of Deacon and Luke fighting.
Gives her something else to be mad at me about.
Speaking of Deacon, I probably should tell you that he came by today.
He did? He said that he thought that you two probably had something that you needed to talk about.
Is that why you broke up with Luke? 'Cause you're still in love with Deacon? So, then what happened? The judge brought Micah into the courtroom and asked him who he wanted to live with.
And Micah chose his grandparents? He didn't even want to come back and pack up his stuff.
I'm sorry, man.
No, I I I I don't blame him.
I mean, his grandparents are the only people on earth that have never lied to him.
It it makes sense.
You thinking of appealing the decision or ? No.
No, Micah's been through enough.
I'm sorry.
Y you came by 'cause you were upset about something.
What's going on? Oh, i it's, uh it's nothing, really.
No, come on, man.
Come on.
It'd be good to focus on somebody else's problems.
Lay it on me.
Well, uh, I was I was upset about a chair.
- A chair? - Yeah.
Kind of seems silly hearing it out loud.
I No, I mean Dude, what is what is that? Oh, uh, this this is what you call burying the lead.
I got married this morning.
- What?! - Oh! Yeah.
Congratulations! Sadie? You in there? Look, I'm really sorry, okay? I don't know what came over me.
I brought those pretzels you like with the dark chocolate and white stripes.
Please, can we just talk for one minute? I don't even have to come inside, just Just open the door a little so I can see you.
Listen, Sadie, I don't blame you for being mad at me.
I really screwed up.
Okay.
I'll just leave these here and come back later.
I'll see you soon.
What are you doing? I know you told me to go, and I will.
But first, I just want to let you know that everything's gonna be okay.
As soon as you get out of here, I'm gonna give you that divorce.
What about the rumors? Hey, you found me in bed with another woman.
You just tell the court that and we'll both get what we want.
Gina's never gonna let us do it.
The show's already been canceled.
Jeff took care of it.
How is that even possible? What about the video? - Well, Jeff took care of that, too.
- How? Gina can't be the only one who's seen that.
There are probably copies of it.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's not your problem anymore.
You're free, Layla.
And I know you probably won't believe me, but I really am sorry.
For everything.
The tumor on your liver is approximately 4 1/2 centimeters in size.
Now, with this type of cancer, radiation and chemo aren't effective, so really your only option at this point is a liver transplant.
I'll do it.
What are you talking about, Scarlett? You can donate part of your liver while you're still alive.
That's actually true, Mr.
Claybourne.
If you know someone who is willing to donate, we could arrange a transplant in a matter of days.
- There's no way in hell - Oh, shut up.
I'll do it.
Uh, what's your blood type? Uh, AB-negative.
Your uncle is a type "O.
" He can only accept a liver from someone with the same blood type.
Oh.
I appreciate it.
So, does that mean I go on some kind of list or something? Yes.
But your tumor's still growing.
We're gonna do some further testing to determine how fast, but if it reaches five centimeters before a donor has been found, then you won't be eligible for a transplant anymore.
What do you do then? Let's just focus on finding the donor.
Okay.
Is this is it? Yes, sir.
Last one.
Uh, Linda, can I talk to you for a second, please? - No.
No.
No, no, not right now.
- Look, please.
We've both been misjudging each other all these years, and it's got to stop.
Looking back on things, I don't think I'd want my daughter hanging around with the Scott boys, either.
I know you're just trying to do right by your family, but you got to believe that I am, too.
So please don't don't shut me out.
Let me be a part of Micah's life.
You know, when I came here, part of me was actually hoping that you were that same troubled kid.
But watching you today, I can't blame you for not wanting to tell Micah the truth.
You were just trying to protect your son.
I love him.
I know.
You got our number.
We'll be home day after tomorrow.
Call Micah then.
Okay.
Thank you.
Uh, wait.
I've got one more thing for him.
- Hello? - Hey.
So, I just spoke with the chief of police.
Layla took full responsibility for her actions.
No charges are being filed.
She didn't say where she got the pills? Says she brought them from home.
She did? This investigation's officially over, my friend, and there's no paper trail for the press to find.
Um, thank you, Teddy.
I owe you one.
You bet.
Hey.
You forget something? I don't want it.
Come on, Micah.
You were getting real good.
I don't want it! Just give him a little bit of time.
All right, dinner's ready.
- Wash up.
- Okay.
You expecting somebody? Hey.
- Hey.
- Can I come in? Yeah.
Of course.
Sure.
Hey, Scarlett, how you doing? Good.
Good.
I'm just gonna go.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Sorry I missed you at the house earlier.
- Oh.
- It's been a day.
Yeah.
And I did want to talk to you need to talk to you.
I called off the wedding for a lot of reasons.
There were a lot of things that were making me feel like not me.
You know? Like I was trying to protect myself, I think, from not choosing you.
I love you.
I've loved you since the first time I ever laid eyes on you, first time I ever heard you play a note on the guitar, first time I ever heard your laugh.
And even through all the hell we put each other through.
I love you now.
But I said "yes" to Luke.
'Cause I didn't want the pain.
I never meant to cause you that pain.
You know that.
If I could do it all over again I know.
So, I think I might need a little bit of time.
Can you understand that? Rayna You take as much time as you need.
Okay.
I'm gonna go.
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey, dad.
- Hey, Mr.
Conrad.
Maddie, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah.
So, uh what's all this? They're our friends.
No, I know that, honey, but do you really think this is a good idea, today of all days? Are we just supposed to keep turning our feelings on and off just because they say so? I mean, don't do that because they're family.
Don't do that because they're not family.
It sucks, dad.
It really, really sucks.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
Me, too.
I really think you should tell Rayna.
Why, Scarlett? Why should I tell her? Because she would want to know.
I don't want her to She and me I don't even know what we are, okay? But I know that I don't want her like this.
Feeling sorry for me? Taking care of me? That's all she's ever done, all right? I want to be the one to take care of her, and I can't do it right now 'cause I'm sick.
No, you're gonna get a transplant.
You're gonna get better.
You don't know that.
I'm on a list.
I could just as easily die on that list.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's been a long day, all right? I'm just gonna get some sleep.
So, come on 'cause it's on, it's on tonight Thank you! Thank you! Y'all having a good time?! Yeah, me too! Hey, hey, have that! Here! Listen, now.
Uh, you know, I had some, uh, unanticipated free time today.
So, uh, me and the boys here, we came up with a a special song for the occasion.
Here we go.
If I drink this beer I'll probably have two or three if I know me I'll be digging up the past like it's money in the backyard if I drink this beer I know it's gonna seem like a good idea to call you up in the middle of the night and tell you how I feel so I should just put it down The last thing I need to do tonight is push my luck drunk, get all messed up and tell you how bad you need my love and how you'll never find a guy like me again if I drink this beer I know it's gonna lead to more and I ain't sure what I'd do if I knocked on your door and your boyfriend answered if I take just one sip, it's gonna get ugly quick and, man, it's tough, 'cause I'm in love - and I need to ease the pain - _ so I should just put it down the last thing I need to do tonight is push my luck drunk, get all messed up and tell you how bad you need my love and how you'll never find a guy like me again I still won't get you back and that beer is all I'll have to hold and it's cold as you at the end of the telephone line in the middle of the night So I should just put it down - Hello? - Hi, mama.
The last thing I need to do tonight is push my luck drunk, get all messed up yeah, I should just put it down last thing I need to do tonight is push my luck drunk, get all messed up tell you how bad you need my love and how you'll never find a guy like me again if I drink this beer I'll probably have two or three if I know me I'll be digging up the past like it's money in the backyard
And I had to do a paternity test.
Micah's not mine.
I made a terrible mistake.
I can't marry you.
I'd like you to get the hell off my property.
Undiagnosed cirrhosis of the liver strongly pointing to cancer.
They don't know that it's cancer yet.
I don't even care how you found out where I live.
I'm not that scared little girl I was 10 years ago.
Take a few of these.
They'll take the edge off.
Layla! I've got a small problem, and I'm gonna need your help handling it.
Hey, Buck.
Hey.
How you doing? Not great.
I just called off our wedding.
- Yeah, I heard.
- You did? How did you hear? I just did it.
Um, Luke called his manager, his manager called me.
- What did they say? - It doesn't matter.
You're what's important right now.
- What can I do to help? - Nothing, really, unless you can try to make this mess I made go away.
Well, judging from Jimmy's tone, I think we may need to brace for the worst.
I don't think Luke's gonna go quietly into the night.
I hurt him real bad, Buck.
It's gonna be okay, Ray.
We're gonna get through this, all right? Yeah.
Thanks.
Let me get on the phone with Luke's team, see if I can get him to agree to a joint statement.
We both know how P.
R.
conscious they are.
Maybe we can get him to take the high road.
- How's she doing? - Stable.
We're gonna run more tests.
So what does that mean? Is she gonna be okay? Well, Mr.
Lexington, your wife is lucky to be alive considering the amount of pills and alcohol in her system.
- Pills? Y you're sure? - Yes, a lot of them.
Was she struggling with anything lately? Was she despondent? Uh, depressed? You think she did this on purpose? Is that what you're telling me? With this level of toxicity, it's certainly a possibility.
Well, I mean, things have been stressful lately.
But she never said anything about I mean, she never tried to Look, why don't you just wait here and I'll send for you when she's ready, all right? A all right.
All right.
Well, there were drugs found at the scene, some underage drinking, and we suspect two of the guests may have been escorts.
Some party.
Any arrests yet? Uh, no, sir, I was able to speak with my officers right after I talked to you, and they're waiting for instructions.
Good.
Look, I, uh apologize for inserting myself into police business, but, uh, this incident has put me in a very awkward position.
My new music education initiative is in partnership with Edgehill-Republic, and I'd hate to have it scandalized because of Jeff Fordham's poor decision-making.
I understand, Mr.
Mayor, and I think we can easily overlook these lesser charges, but the wild card here is the girl in the pool.
- Hmm.
- And if she wants to press charges, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.
What kind of charges are we looking at? Well, was she served alcohol or drugs? Was she pushed into the pool? Hopefully, it's just a, uh, tragic accident.
- Yeah.
- But there's no guarantees at this point.
All right.
Just keep me posted.
Best honeymoon ever.
Well, don't think you're getting off the hook that easy, 'cause as soon as this baby comes, I want a real honeymoon.
Wherever you want to go.
- Yeah? - Promise.
God, you're beautiful.
Mm.
H h h hey! Where you going? My apartment.
Seeing as how we're married now, I should probably bring over a few things.
What? Now? Juliette, I don't even have a toothbrush here anymore.
Well, okay.
How about this? How about you stay in bed and let your things come to you? I'll have Emily call the movers.
That works for me.
Yeah? - Mm.
- Come here.
So many places I want to go so many people I want to know I want to stay but I want to leave I want it all I've got to believe you can have roots and wings you can have everything you can know where you're from and still want to fly two feet on the ground two hands in the sky you can have roots and wings at the same time at the same time at the same time Yeah! You're sounding great.
You've been practicing.
Thanks.
Can we do one more? No, no more stalling, buddy.
We got to go, so go get your suit on.
I wish grandma and grandpa would just go away.
Hey.
You don't mean that, buddy.
They love you.
They just want to make sure you're living in the best possible place.
But I want to live with you, dad.
Micah look, there's, uh There's something I need to tell you that's really important.
I, uh well I love you, and don't you ever forget that.
- I love you, too, dad.
- Go get your stuff on.
Go on.
Look, Teddy, I don't know what Layla's gonna say.
Can't you call off the cops? I know.
I I know, and I I appreciate it.
Hey, listen, I got to go.
I'm at the hospital.
Let me know if you hear anything, okay? Thanks, buddy.
Will.
How's she doing? How's she doing? Where the hell you been, Jeff? I was taking care of things, man.
In case you didn't notice, my place is crawling with cops.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You better protect yourself.
I am protecting all of us.
What is wrong with you? How's Layla? She O.
D.
'd on pills, Jeff.
What? Yeah, I saw you give them to her.
Yeah.
I did.
I did.
She was hysterical.
But I was watching her the whole time.
She didn't take any.
She put them in her pocket.
She went upstairs to find you.
Wait a minute.
Layla came upstairs? Mr.
Lexington, your wife's awake.
She's asking for you.
There's actually something that would look really beautiful in your hair.
- If you're gonna wear it back - Hey! - Mom, where have you been? - There you are! You were gone when we woke up.
- I know.
- I have been calling you for 45 minutes.
I'm so sorry.
I did not We were supposed to get breakfast before manicures.
I did not mean to alarm you.
I'm so sorry.
Um is there coffee? Yeah.
Absolutely.
Hey, girls.
Why don't you go on upstairs and let your mom have a sec? No, you know what? Can y'all sit? I just want to, um, talk to y'all for a second.
Okay.
Okay.
Here, sweetie.
Thank you.
Um So, after doing a lot of thinking, uh, Luke and I have decided that It would be better that we don't get married, and so we've called off the wedding.
- What? What?! Why?! - Yeah.
You know, it it just turned out we weren't the right match.
Does this mean you're gonna marry Deacon, then? No, honey.
It wasn't an either/or situation, you know? - I just - You love Deacon, mom.
I know that you do, and he proposed.
I know he did, but that was a long time ago.
A lot's happened since then, and and, you know, it's not that simple.
Hey, Maddie, sweetheart.
- I love Luke.
- Maddie! I know, but and Sage was gonna be my new sister.
I know, darling.
Listen, hon Daphne! Girls! Oh, sweetie, baby.
Honey, it's gonna be okay.
- Rayna! - What are you doing? Where is she? I know she's here.
- What the hell you doing? - Hi, Luke.
You lost your damn mind? What's got into you? Just couldn't leave her alone, could you? Always had to be right there, devil on her shoulder, judging her, making her doubt herself.
Oh, my God.
She called off the wedding.
Yeah.
She did.
You happy? Oh, you're damn right I am.
Means I don't got to be civil to you for one more second.
- Get off me! - Get out of here.
She ain't here.
For the record, I haven't seen Rayna in weeks, so it's not about me.
It's always been about you! Every damn day since you two met.
I should have known better to ever go sniff around that bitch.
What did you say? Yeah, it's Luke Wheeler.
Deacon, get off of him! Deacon! Get off him! Stop it! You get off him! He's not worth it! Get up! Get up! Wheels up, jackass.
I'm looking for a gun that could fit into a purse.
I'd be happy to help you out with that.
Just need to see some I.
D.
first.
My name's Jane Smith.
Ms.
Smith, I got just the thing for you.
I can't get anybody from Luke's team to return my calls, but, um, they did send this over.
- You've got to be kidding me.
- What is it? Bill for the wedding.
That's like 50 pages.
No wedding, no people magazine to pay for it, right? Luke has always been a great businessman.
I will give him that.
How do you want to respond? I Hey.
How you feeling? I tried to kill myself and couldn't even get that right.
How do you think I'm doing? Well, believe it or not, I know exactly what you're going through.
I mean, I've been there.
I've There was a point just last year when I was trying to come to terms with who I am.
It hurt so bad, I would have done anything to make it stop.
Anything.
That's right.
Play the gay card.
Poor, tortured, misunderstood Will.
You don't have the guts to be honest, so everyone just has to shut up and suffer along with you.
Only it's not even true, is it? What's that supposed to mean? I saw you.
In a bedroom with a woman.
So it's just me, then? No, Layla.
You don't you don't understand.
I can't do this, Will.
Your secret is killing me.
Layla.
Just go.
Please.
Micah loves it here.
H he's doing great in school, getting all A's and and B's.
He's made friends.
His teacher loves him.
He's he's happy.
My daughter wasn't cut out for motherhood, so I've been Micah's primary caregiver since the day he was born.
The fact that he's happy and well-adjusted is due to nine years of my influence.
Oh, look, I don't even know what we're still doing here.
The paternity test says that Gunnar's not the father, so Micah should just come home with us, period.
Thank you all for your testimony.
Court will recess until 2:00.
What is all this? My stuff.
Those movers Emily got are efficient as hell.
Yeah.
Wow.
Do you need all this, though, you think? I mean, you're moving.
It might be a good time to get rid of some stuff.
I don't know.
Like this could maybe go? I think we're good on comforters.
My grandmother made that for me.
Hey, where do you want this? Oh, just set it down anywhere for now.
You're bringing your furniture, too? Hey, you're the one who wanted me moved in A.
S.
A.
P.
- Are you changing your mind? - No.
No, not at all.
Just around how much more do you think you have? $50,000 for shrimp.
Actually, we have bigger fish to fry.
- You still here? - Yeah.
Uh, we got a problem.
Oh, my God! I know.
So much for taking the high road.
What the hell is he doing? - I got to go talk to him.
- Oh, no, honey.
No, no, no.
That's not a good idea.
It's a terrible idea, but Luke imploding isn't gonna be good for anybody.
You can trust me on that.
- He's out of control.
- Obviously.
- Will you do me a favor? - Yes.
Will you please take the girls to Teddy's, please? I don't want them around any of this.
- Rayna, are you sure? - Yes.
I did this.
I'm gonna figure it out.
- Yeah, that can't go there.
- Why not? - It doesn't match.
- Really? Yes, and it's blocking the patio, and it's just throwing off the whole flow of the room.
You know, there's plenty of room here.
I just feel like there's enough furniture in this room.
Well, I mean, if you don't like it here, it's fine.
I get it.
Thank you.
Wow.
What on earth are you doing here? Today of all days! I'm not trying to cause any trouble here, all right? Oh, really? Well, then, I guess punching Luke in the face in front of the paparazzi that's been super helpful.
You think I wanted to be all over the Internet, huh? He walked right into my house.
- Just - All right?! He was in my hou Please just stop.
What do you want? I I don't know.
I I thought Rayna and I might have something to discuss.
Well, she's not here, so I think you should probably go before the press shows up.
Really? Yeah.
I do.
Do you want to answer that? No.
All right? I know who that is.
There's someplace I'm supposed to be.
Well, maybe you better be getting there, then.
When is dad gonna get home? Stop asking me that.
He told me he was dealing with a work emergency.
That's all I know, okay? Hello? Tell your dad to leave Deacon alone.
It's not his fault the wedding's off.
Really? You're yelling at me after what your mom did? Luke must have done something wrong to deserve this.
Look, the only thing my dad did wrong was ask your mom to marry him in the first place.
Wow.
Okay.
Looks like being a jerk runs in the family.
Yeah, no, I'm a jerk, and you're a perfect little princess sitting in her tower, looking down on everyone else, just like your mom.
At least there's one good thing about all this we will never have to see each other again.
Hey, buddy.
- What you doing? - Dad! You haven't told him? Told me what? Uh, can you just give us a minute, okay, buddy? This is not the time or the place.
You keep on bragging about how much you changed, how you are nothing like Jason, and look what you're doing right this very minute lying to get what's not yours.
You are not better than your brother.
No, please don't tell him.
It's got to come from me, for his sake.
Sign here, ma'am.
Roger that.
- How is she? - Not good.
- What happened? - Me.
I happened.
What was I thinking, you know? She was just a kid.
You thought that you could make it work.
That you could change somehow.
Yeah, well, I can't.
And I know that now.
So what does that mean? I'm gonna need your help.
I've been broken God knows all the stories I could tell I've been broken God knows all the stories I could tell my guitar's so sick of me feeling sorry for myself same old heartache you again did you come to party, do me in? But I don't want to write a sad song I don't want to sing a sad song I don't want to be a sad song tonight no, not tonight You do realize those are $200 a bottle, right? Yep, and I'm putting 'em on your tab.
I know.
I saw that.
I know I blindsided you this morning, and I am gonna be apologizing to you for that for a very long time.
But I really do hope that we can try to deal with this privately between us.
Privately? We we can't do that.
'Cause we're Ruke or Layna or whatever the hell we are.
And no offense, but I respect your right to call off the wedding.
The least you could do is respect my right to be extremely pissed off about it.
I do.
I do.
I get it.
But we both got kids.
And I don't want to drag them through our dirty laundry.
Hey, this remind you of anything? Our first date, remember? It was right here on this very spot.
You were wearing that sexy tank top and those boots I like with the rhinestones.
I couldn't believe you were actually here, that I was the the guy kissing you.
Every bone in my body was telling me to run the other direction.
"She's Deacon's girl.
She's always been Deacon's girl.
" But I was, uh I was too blinded by love to listen.
Babe, I am sorry.
I really am.
You know I didn't want to hurt you.
I would never have done that if I didn't think it was the right thing.
Oh, it sure as hell was the right thing.
For you.
I mean, hell, before me, uh, you were mortgaged to the hilt, saddled with an album that wasn't commercial.
I mean, persona non grata on country radio.
Hell, you were you were basically a legacy artist, but now look at you.
You got a a platinum album, sold-out tour, and all those CMA awards.
I mean, now that you got your six statues, I guess you don't need my seven carats.
You can keep the damn ring, by the way.
Well, if that's how you feel about it, I guess I dodged a bullet, didn't I? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
You'll get your ring back.
Don't you worry.
You sure you're not leaving something out? Scarlett, I swear, all right? You know just as much as I do.
Last time I saw Rayna, she made it very clear she wanted nothing to do with me.
- Did y'all fight? - No.
No.
Wasn't a fight.
Why would she say that, then? Because.
Because why? Because I told her I loved her.
You smile all you want.
She told me to move on, get on with my life, 'cause she was marrying Luke.
And now she's not marrying Luke.
I hope nobody has any plans to go anywhere, because we are now officially surrounded.
Reporters, photographers, cops.
I take it things didn't go well with Luke.
- I definitely made it worse.
- Oh, sweetie.
Rayna, I'm gonna support you no matter what you want to do.
But as your manager, I have to advise you to get out in front of this.
You know it's just a matter of time before Luke talks to the press, and I think you need to speak first, you need to get out there, frame the conversation, and take control of the story.
Damn it.
Rayna? Rayna, what what are you doing? I'm taking control of the story, like you said.
Okay, but I didn't necessarily mean right this second.
I mean, maybe we should take a breath, you know, call a press conference.
You could rest up a little bit, maybe I don't know change your clothes? Rayna, are you and Deacon getting back together? Appreciate y'all's concern.
I know there's been a lot of speculation and conjecture about what's happened today between Luke Wheeler and myself, and I just thought I would tell it to you straight.
After a conversation that we had this morning, Luke Wheeler and I have decided to call off our wedding.
That was a mutual decision.
There was nobody else involved.
So I ask for and and appreciate your respect for our privacy at this time.
And I just wanted to say Hey, Luke Wheeler and I have been friends for many, many years.
We have come up in this business together.
We supported each other's dreams, we celebrated each other's successes.
Our love story may be over, but I have full faith that our friendship will endure.
And and that's all.
Thank you.
That that's it, guys.
Thank you.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! I don't think you should be doing that.
You said that you were getting rid of the chair.
No, you said you didn't want it in the living room.
This isn't the living room.
What is it with you and this chair? It's comfortable and I like it.
But you're making it pretty clear you don't care if I'm comfortable here.
What's that supposed to mean? Well, you've barely made room for any of my stuff.
I cleared out three shelves for you in my closet! Three shelves! Juliette, it's a 400-square-foot closet! Look, we're we're married now.
That means that this needs to be our house with our things.
It is.
Well, me and my three shelves are feeling a lot like guests right now.
And even though our love story is over, I have full faith that our friendship will endure.
And and that's all.
Thank you.
Unbelievable.
She calls it off and spins it to polish her own halo.
Luke, man, you got to get your side of the story out there.
And say what, Jimmy? I mean, after that performance, anything negative is gonna sound petty and bitter.
People gonna think you're holed up somewhere crying.
Is that the message you want to send? - No, of course not.
- Okay.
- What's the response? - I'm gonna have a party.
- A party? - Yeah, a party.
Here tonight.
I already got food and drinks for 500 people.
Let's get 500 fans out here.
Hell, I'll put on a private concert for them, show the world that, uh, Luke Wheeler is doing fine without Rayna Jaymes.
We'll do a shout-out on social media.
First 500 people to show up get in.
That's brilliant, buddy.
Instead of "Rayna jilts Luke," the headline will be, "Rayna jilts Luke, Luke throws a party to celebrate.
" Yeah, the bachelor party I never got to have.
- Get on the damn phone.
Call up the band.
- Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Let's make sure they can come over and play, and we'll blow it up.
Gina, thanks for meeting me.
- Well, you said it was important.
- It is.
I thought you'd like to know that you've just been canceled.
And why would the network cancel their highest-rated new show? Ah, because I asked them to.
And considering the fact that Layla Grant tried to kill herself last night, well, they were only too happy to oblige.
My show didn't have anything to do with that.
Oh, I think we both know that's not true.
So, how many people have seen the video? What video? Will told me everything.
How you put a camera in the bedroom without their consent, that you were using the footage to blackmail them into playing along.
Now, I could use that to kill your career or even have you arrested, but I think we'd both like to keep this quiet, so what's it gonna take to make that footage go away permanently? Sage, you're here! - What happened? - I don't know, but I really hate my mom right now.
Hey.
Hey.
- You can come in if you want.
- Look, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean any of that stuff about your mom.
Yeah, I'm sorry, too.
I shouldn't have yelled at you like that.
No, you're fine.
My dad can be a real jerk sometimes.
He's actually throwing a party at the ranch tonight.
- Seriously? - Yeah.
getting wasted at my house.
I can't believe all this is happening.
I know.
On the other hand could be nice not being related anymore.
Can I have a moment with Micah alone? Sure.
- We'll be right back.
- Okay.
Hey, buddy.
Look, th there's, uh, something you need to know.
What? See, it turns out we aren't exactly related in the way we thought we were.
See, y your mom accidentally got things a little mixed up, and it turns out that I'm your uncle.
You're not my dad? No, but I'm still your family, buddy, and I still love you very much, and I still want you to come live with me.
You lied to me? No, Micah, no.
I would never lie to you.
I would never do that.
I thought I was your dad, and and your mom told me I was your dad.
I just found out last night that that's not the truth.
Wait.
I want to go home with you.
No, Micah, just just listen to me for a second.
No! You're not my dad! Nothing has changed.
I am still me, all right? Excuse me, is there a problem here? Will you just give us a second, please? - My my son's upset.
- I'm not your son.
- You just said so.
- Oh, God.
I know you're disappointed.
- That's enough.
- Stop.
Stop! Let's go! Sir, do I need to call security? No.
No.
No.
Please.
No, no.
Come on.
Sir! Hey.
Will you bring him back? No! - No! - You need to calm down.
Micah! Micah.
Well, you take care of you and your sister, all right? I love you.
Goodbye.
Well, at least she took your call this time.
That's an improvement.
Yeah, well, I guess she saw the video of Deacon and Luke fighting.
Gives her something else to be mad at me about.
Speaking of Deacon, I probably should tell you that he came by today.
He did? He said that he thought that you two probably had something that you needed to talk about.
Is that why you broke up with Luke? 'Cause you're still in love with Deacon? So, then what happened? The judge brought Micah into the courtroom and asked him who he wanted to live with.
And Micah chose his grandparents? He didn't even want to come back and pack up his stuff.
I'm sorry, man.
No, I I I I don't blame him.
I mean, his grandparents are the only people on earth that have never lied to him.
It it makes sense.
You thinking of appealing the decision or ? No.
No, Micah's been through enough.
I'm sorry.
Y you came by 'cause you were upset about something.
What's going on? Oh, i it's, uh it's nothing, really.
No, come on, man.
Come on.
It'd be good to focus on somebody else's problems.
Lay it on me.
Well, uh, I was I was upset about a chair.
- A chair? - Yeah.
Kind of seems silly hearing it out loud.
I No, I mean Dude, what is what is that? Oh, uh, this this is what you call burying the lead.
I got married this morning.
- What?! - Oh! Yeah.
Congratulations! Sadie? You in there? Look, I'm really sorry, okay? I don't know what came over me.
I brought those pretzels you like with the dark chocolate and white stripes.
Please, can we just talk for one minute? I don't even have to come inside, just Just open the door a little so I can see you.
Listen, Sadie, I don't blame you for being mad at me.
I really screwed up.
Okay.
I'll just leave these here and come back later.
I'll see you soon.
What are you doing? I know you told me to go, and I will.
But first, I just want to let you know that everything's gonna be okay.
As soon as you get out of here, I'm gonna give you that divorce.
What about the rumors? Hey, you found me in bed with another woman.
You just tell the court that and we'll both get what we want.
Gina's never gonna let us do it.
The show's already been canceled.
Jeff took care of it.
How is that even possible? What about the video? - Well, Jeff took care of that, too.
- How? Gina can't be the only one who's seen that.
There are probably copies of it.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's not your problem anymore.
You're free, Layla.
And I know you probably won't believe me, but I really am sorry.
For everything.
The tumor on your liver is approximately 4 1/2 centimeters in size.
Now, with this type of cancer, radiation and chemo aren't effective, so really your only option at this point is a liver transplant.
I'll do it.
What are you talking about, Scarlett? You can donate part of your liver while you're still alive.
That's actually true, Mr.
Claybourne.
If you know someone who is willing to donate, we could arrange a transplant in a matter of days.
- There's no way in hell - Oh, shut up.
I'll do it.
Uh, what's your blood type? Uh, AB-negative.
Your uncle is a type "O.
" He can only accept a liver from someone with the same blood type.
Oh.
I appreciate it.
So, does that mean I go on some kind of list or something? Yes.
But your tumor's still growing.
We're gonna do some further testing to determine how fast, but if it reaches five centimeters before a donor has been found, then you won't be eligible for a transplant anymore.
What do you do then? Let's just focus on finding the donor.
Okay.
Is this is it? Yes, sir.
Last one.
Uh, Linda, can I talk to you for a second, please? - No.
No.
No, no, not right now.
- Look, please.
We've both been misjudging each other all these years, and it's got to stop.
Looking back on things, I don't think I'd want my daughter hanging around with the Scott boys, either.
I know you're just trying to do right by your family, but you got to believe that I am, too.
So please don't don't shut me out.
Let me be a part of Micah's life.
You know, when I came here, part of me was actually hoping that you were that same troubled kid.
But watching you today, I can't blame you for not wanting to tell Micah the truth.
You were just trying to protect your son.
I love him.
I know.
You got our number.
We'll be home day after tomorrow.
Call Micah then.
Okay.
Thank you.
Uh, wait.
I've got one more thing for him.
- Hello? - Hey.
So, I just spoke with the chief of police.
Layla took full responsibility for her actions.
No charges are being filed.
She didn't say where she got the pills? Says she brought them from home.
She did? This investigation's officially over, my friend, and there's no paper trail for the press to find.
Um, thank you, Teddy.
I owe you one.
You bet.
Hey.
You forget something? I don't want it.
Come on, Micah.
You were getting real good.
I don't want it! Just give him a little bit of time.
All right, dinner's ready.
- Wash up.
- Okay.
You expecting somebody? Hey.
- Hey.
- Can I come in? Yeah.
Of course.
Sure.
Hey, Scarlett, how you doing? Good.
Good.
I'm just gonna go.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Sorry I missed you at the house earlier.
- Oh.
- It's been a day.
Yeah.
And I did want to talk to you need to talk to you.
I called off the wedding for a lot of reasons.
There were a lot of things that were making me feel like not me.
You know? Like I was trying to protect myself, I think, from not choosing you.
I love you.
I've loved you since the first time I ever laid eyes on you, first time I ever heard you play a note on the guitar, first time I ever heard your laugh.
And even through all the hell we put each other through.
I love you now.
But I said "yes" to Luke.
'Cause I didn't want the pain.
I never meant to cause you that pain.
You know that.
If I could do it all over again I know.
So, I think I might need a little bit of time.
Can you understand that? Rayna You take as much time as you need.
Okay.
I'm gonna go.
Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hey.
- Hey, dad.
- Hey, Mr.
Conrad.
Maddie, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah.
So, uh what's all this? They're our friends.
No, I know that, honey, but do you really think this is a good idea, today of all days? Are we just supposed to keep turning our feelings on and off just because they say so? I mean, don't do that because they're family.
Don't do that because they're not family.
It sucks, dad.
It really, really sucks.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
Me, too.
I really think you should tell Rayna.
Why, Scarlett? Why should I tell her? Because she would want to know.
I don't want her to She and me I don't even know what we are, okay? But I know that I don't want her like this.
Feeling sorry for me? Taking care of me? That's all she's ever done, all right? I want to be the one to take care of her, and I can't do it right now 'cause I'm sick.
No, you're gonna get a transplant.
You're gonna get better.
You don't know that.
I'm on a list.
I could just as easily die on that list.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's been a long day, all right? I'm just gonna get some sleep.
So, come on 'cause it's on, it's on tonight Thank you! Thank you! Y'all having a good time?! Yeah, me too! Hey, hey, have that! Here! Listen, now.
Uh, you know, I had some, uh, unanticipated free time today.
So, uh, me and the boys here, we came up with a a special song for the occasion.
Here we go.
