Probably with his new wife.
Well, it is his son's school, so Well, no.

I was born at the end of an old dirt road Before I could walk, I was ready to roll When I turned 16, my brother threw me the key He said, hey, little sister, better watch your speed Now I'm smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Takin' a drag and I'm making some noise Smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Smokin' the boys Gentlemen, lady? I think we may have something here.

Oh, let me just put you on speaker.
Hold on.
No, wait, Gunnar.
I don't know if you All right, Bucky.
You're on with the band.
- Hey, Bucky! - Hey, Bucky! Hey.
I was just saying that several reporters are demanding interviews with Alannah.
What do they want? Well, they seem to think you're pretty special.
Which, of course, I agree with.
It's just that it's only been, what, two shows? Yeah, it's gotta be some kind of record, huh? Well, when you got it, you got it.
You should definitely do the interviews.
You guys took a chance on me when I couldn't even get a write-up in Nashville Scene.
Tell them they talk to all of us or none of us.
Hey! - Hi! - You made it! Hello.
- Dudes, come on! - Hi, guys.
- You gonna help her grab her bags? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jonah, this place is so gorgeous.
Well, you just made it twice as gorgeous, hmm? Sorry, loves! I hate to break it up.
But we gotta get to sound check right now.
- Okay.
- Well - Come on.
- That means all of us.
Thank you.
So what's Daphne singing tonight? She is singing the sweetest little song she wrote.
It's just so good.
What's Jake doing? I actually have no clue because I haven't been allowed to go anywhere near his room for the last three days.
(LAUGHS) Welcome to Langhorne Academy Open House.
Please hold your applause until after the performance.
Hey, you'll be all right.
Okay.
Ladies and gentlemen, Daphne Conrad.
Hey, concrete and steel Don't like the lonely way The way I feel And I'm trying to find something real Dying to find a place where I Where I can heal All those ties that bind me The past that reminds me Gonna leave it all behind me Down the long road I travel Watch me unravel Oh, undo my heart Oh, my hardest part (APPLAUSE, CHEERING) Ladies and gentlemen, Jake Maitland.
(RAPPING) Come at me, bro, but know your place! Don't exit hyperspace so close to Hoth, the rebels' base A planet so cold, ice covers its face 'Cause I know a home base that's colder Can't wait till I'm older, give y'all the cold shoulder Gonna roll over y'all like a boulder But there's no escape this time, Indiana 'Cause I'm Jonesing for a different kind of idol Not the one I was given all puffed up on fame The only thing I got from you was my name, Maitland But that doesn't keep my classmates from landing blows From my head to my toes This ain't the life I chose I'm a wildling, y'all a bunch of crows! (APPLAUSE) See? This is where Mommy was.
It's called Bolivia.
And we are right here.
(CHIMES SOUND) Oh! Mommy's home! Mommy is home! You wanna hold these flowers? Yeah? You wanna give 'em to Mommy? All right.
Keep a lookout for Mommy, Cadence.
Here she comes.
Hey, Bill, where is she? No idea.
We got a call when we were there that she wasn't coming.
I really thought they would have called you.
No one called me.
Sorry.
It must have just been a mix-up.
Yeah, sorry.
Uh, she's not picking up her phone.
I don't even know who to call.
Look, I have friends.
Let me see what I can find out.
I just don't get it.
I mean, why would she not leave? Why wouldn't she call me? Just stay calm.
Let's not jump to any conclusions.
I'll call you back as soon as I hear anything.
- Okay, bye.
- Okay.
Sweetheart, you okay? - Yes.
- Okay.
Movement for Coherent Philosophy.
How may I help you? Yeah, hi.
This is Avery Barkley.
I'm Juliette Barnes' husband.
- Do you know where she is? - Sorry, Mr.
Barkley.
I'm afraid I can't divulge any information about our members.
Okay.
Look, you're either gonna talk to me or you're gonna talk to the police because the next call I make is gonna be to them.
You have our assurance that Ms.
Barnes is safe here at our facility.
All right.
Then let me talk to her.
Put her on.
Ms.
Barnes is free to contact you whenever she likes.
Then why hasn't she? - I'm afraid I don't know, Mr.
Barkley.
- Just let me talk to her now! Ms.
Barnes is free to contact you whenever she likes.
You just told me that! (SIGHS) - Oh, they're there.
- They're there! Hello! - Hey, you were good! - Amazing! - Oh, you were so good.
- Oh, my goodness.
- I'm so proud of you! - Jake - That was just like - And you were amazing! Something else, man.
Where'd you learn to do that? Just YouTube mostly.
- YouTube? - YouTube? Wow! Well, if it isn't Nashville's new favorite couple! Well, son, you certainly, uh, did (CHUCKLES) whatever it is you did up there.
I think it's called "Spoken Word", right, babe? Daphne? Brad Maitland.
I'm this troublemaker's father here.
Hey, your performance today, it moved me.
It did.
It brought the wife to tears.
I don't know what your stepdad is doing keeping you in school auditoriums.
You deserve a real stage, girl.
Thank you.
I mean, you realize she's a star, right? If that's what she wants to be, that's what she'll be.
I, on the other hand, have no idea what to make of this here rare talent.
- Well, I think he was amazing! - Yes! Well, maybe you two could make a duo, huh? Oh, I forgot.
That's right.
You gave up performing on my dime.
(CHUCKLES) Y'all have a good weekend.
Hey! You.
A star.
Just wait a second.
- Ta-da! - A frozen waffle? - (CHUCKLES) - Not frozen anymore.
Oh.
Wait, whoa.
Without syrup? What? Are you a critic? Try them and shut up.
All right.
Wow! Oh, ye of little faith.
You know, three months ago, I never thought I'd be sitting in this bed with somebody like you.
Somebody like me? Wonder what that means.
What are you thinking right now? That I'm hungry.
What else? I'm gonna be thirsty when I'm done being hungry.
- Oh, come on.
- What? We just had this incredible night.
We're eating frozen waffles in bed.
I mean, it's pretty incredible, right? Good.
Good? What do you want me to say? I don't know.
It's just I feel like you can take it or leave it.
(SIGHS) What do you want, Gunnar Scott? I don't know.
To, uh To get to know you better, I guess.
An open book, am I.
Okay.
Why'd you join the band? - To sing.
- And why do you wanna sing? 'Cause it's not talking like we're doing right now.
- (GUNNAR GROWLS) - (CELL PHONE RINGS) Oh, saved by the bell.
You're very handsome.
You know that? (CELL PHONE RINGS) Oh, that's my ex.
Uh I'll just be a second.
(CHEERING, SHOUTING, POLICE SIRENS CHIRPS) Tonight's gonna be crazy.
I don't know how you deal with this.
This would totally freak me out.
I don't even notice it anymore.
(CHUCKLES) (CHEERING) Okay.
Yeah, right.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Toyota's gonna wanna get this car back in one piece, okay? (SCREAMING) (APPLAUSE, CHEERING) This next song is a new one.
It requires a special guest.
When you're out in the cold Then get thrown to the flames When a moment feels good But it ends in pain When you wanna get out And you're done with the games Oh, no When you're losing it all Over some bad advice - Yeah I've seen it before - Maybe once or twice At the end of your rope I look up to the sky And I pray you stay alive After the smoke is gone I open my eyes and I see you I'm tired of this fight to get us through When our world starts to change Will you feel the same? Will you feel the same? I'll be there for you As long as you're right there too I'll be there for you Take my word You know I'll follow through Will you feel the same? (CHEERING) It's just so infuriating! How could she just disappear on us again? Like it was nothing? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to put all this on you.
Avery, please, come on now.
You said you were worried about her.
I told you not to be.
Is there anything I can do? I don't know.
I mean, is there anything anybody can do? It's not like I can call the CIA and have her kidnapped.
Might be worth a shot.
No.
She'll come back when she feels like it which is how she does everything.
- Hey.
- Hey, guys.
Hey, how's Juliette? Is she jetlagged? She decided to extend her trip for a few days.
So, Alannah, you're a virtual unknown in the business.
Where the heck did you come from? Oregon, originally, but I roamed around a bit before I found my way to Nashville.
Roamed around? Yeah.
A lot of hitchhiking.
- Even a little freight hopping.
- Ah.
And how were these gentlemen lucky enough to find you? Let's be clear.
I was the lucky one.
Hey, thanks again, man.
We're lucky to get a little publicity from this experiment of ours.
Well, I can't say I much like the guy.
But when Brad Maitland calls me in the middle of the night and says he's found the next big thing, I listen.
Bye-bye.
It's not her fault Brad called reporters.
So? We're not maligning her.
Besides, I think she did great in there.
Hey, I got an idea.
Why don't we talk about something other than Alannah? Yeah.
Maybe it's good for our egos to be bruised every once in a while.
Yeah, it's good press for the band.
See? That's the problem.
What band? What are you talking about? I mean, I thought we started this whole thing so the three of us could hang out.
Have some fun, make music we wanna make without worrying about what anybody said.
It wasn't supposed to be some sort of business venture.
Then we bring in Alannah who's talented as hell.
But it just feels like this whole thing is becoming exactly what we didn't want it to be.
Oh, a successful band.
A job.
Well, we're neither right now.
Because both require it making some money.
Look, we all know you're compromised.
So how about we ask Switzerland over here to weigh in? I agree with Will.
First priority should be staying true to ourselves.
But when you stumble across a real talent like Alannah, I mean, who knows? We may be on the verge of something truly special here.
Here, I thought we already had something special.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES) Yeah, let me have one day.
Let me have one day.
Hey.
Coffee? It is freshly brewed.
Sure.
Thank you.
Oh, you don't have to whisper.
Don't worry.
He can literally sleep through anything.
I'm pretty sure 10,000 screaming 14-year-old girls - couldn't wake him up, so you're good.
- No, no Yeah, watch.
Hey, Dan! - Hey, Dan! - Shh.
Stop it.
Stop it.
- Nothing.
- Are you kidding me? Hey, I have a question for you.
Have you ever been to Denver? Yes.
One time, my Mom had a big concert there.
Sorry.
You're supposed to say "no".
So then I can say, "Well, I am bringing Denver to you.
" Because I'm making you a Denver omelet.
Okay.
I've never been.
- That was the joke okay, good.
- I've never been Well, I'm bringing Denver to you.
- That's good.
- What's up? - Good morning.
- Look who's awake.
Did you sleep okay? - Like a baby.
- Good.
What are we doing today? Because I'm dying to go on that jet ski.
And you should.
Why? What Well, it's awesome, actually.
Richard Linklater's thinking of me for his next film.
But to even have a chance, I have to fly to Austin right now to read for him.
That's ama That's amazing.
That's awesome.
So, should we go to the airport together or No, no, no.
You're staying here.
The guy's will take care of you.
And Twig will make sure that they behave themselves, right? Yeah.
We'll turn up.
Come on, we don't need him.
Let this loser go work.
We'll have fun.
Hey, look at me, all right? I'm gonna get this role.
And you're gonna get a tan.
And I'll be back tomorrow, okay? I promise.
I hate you.
I hate me.
I'm sorry, okay? - I should pack my stuff.
- Okay.
I cannot believe you're still reading that book.
I'm absorbing it.
Oh.
- Country music newest - What was that? Oh, some country music competition.
Like "American Idol" kind of thing? I guess so.
"Nashville's Next country star.
" Yeah, that's Brad's thing.
And it is sure to be a cluster.
Good thing you ain't gonna have nothin' to do with it.
Why not? Are you kidding me? Anyway, baby, you're not gonna need anything like that to show how much talent you got.
Why? Because I get solos in the school choir? Sweetheart, you know we got big plans for you, right? As soon as you're ready, right? - Yeah, I know, I know.
- You know that? You're gonna take off like a rocket.
- I know.
- You are.
Hey, buddy! Well, hello to you too.
Make yourself at home.
Bro night.
You and me.
Yeah? Where's Alannah? I'm offended you'd assume that eating pizza and drinking beer was not my first choice of activities of the evening.
I mean, she's just going to dinner, right? Should that take four hours? Come on, man.
You have friends who are exes? I have friends who are exes.
That you'd have four-hour dinners with? I'm gonna call her.
Gunnar.
Gunnar! You told me you're not in a relationship.
I'm not.
You only had sex with her two times.
Three times.
There is no world in which calling her right now is gonna help your cause.
Trust me.
No.
You're right.
I'm just being crazy.
You know, I don't think it's such a big deal, just one call.
Do whatever you want, man.
You okay? Interesting question.
My wife, ex-wife, mother of my child, reason for drawing breath, isn't returning my calls either.
Didn't you say she's just extending her trip by a few days? The truth is, I have no idea.
Because I can't reach her.
I don't know who she's with, when she's coming back, if she's coming back.
I don't know anything.
It's crazy even for Juliette.
What are you gonna do? What can I do? You are so bad at this game! I do not understand games that involve slapping.
It doesn't make any sense to me.
All right, it's speed and dexterity.
Then you know what? I'm gonna remain deliberate and clumsy.
- Okay.
- Boy, boy, boy! Wait'll you see what we got.
What'd you get? You might even say they're magical.
Yeah, I'll pass.
Okay.
Well, you can be sober patrol then.
How about you, Twiggles? You in? No.
I am actually becoming an expert at this card game.
So I gotta stay focused.
You are such a bitch.
Look, there's nothin' to it.
Boom! - Exactly.
- Simple.
Come on, Twig.
Twiggy, Twiggy, Twiggy.
They're all natural.
Yep, so's arsenic.
- So let's get some of that going in here.
- (CHUCKLES) Twig's scared because he's never tripped before.
Yeah, dude, you're like a bad actor playing a bully in an 80s movie.
It's not working.
- (CHUCKLES) - I'm just saying how do you know that you won't like it unless you try it? Twig, don't.
- I'm not.
- Twig, don't.
Twig, don't.
- Twig, don't.
Twig, don't.
- Okay, that's it.
That's it.
- Twiggy, Twiggy, Twiggy? - That's not annoying at all.
Twiggy, Twiggy, Twiggy, Twig, don't! You know what? It's fine, it's fine.
- Twig did? - Twig did! Twig did! Twig did! Twig did! Twig did! - Twig did! Twig did! - Stop.
Twiggy, Twiggy, Twiggy Twig did! - More blues like? - Yeah.
- That's nice.
- It's cool, man.
Hey, buddy? How's my favorite new band? Doing good, man.
It's gonna be a great show.
Looks like we're a man down.
- Yeah, well, he'll sulk his way here.
- Yeah.
Don't mind if I steal this one real quick? Oh, sure.
So, uh, what were you up to last night? I told you.
I was with my ex.
Like all night? I don't see how that's any of your business.
Huh.
Well, you told me you weren't interested in anything serious.
Yeah, I guess I did say that, didn't I? So there's nothing to worry about, is there? - Did you sleep with him? - Excuse me? Did you sleep with him? I don't have to answer that.
Why not? Because questions like that don't fall into the parameters of relationships like this.
What exactly is this relationship? I joined this band because it allows me to do something that makes me feel totally free.
Stand in front of a microphone, and sing.
If your unfounded jealousy is gonna get in the way of that, maybe I need to find another place to do it.
You need to find yourself a hobby, Gunnar.
Come on.
You think they have any whiskey around here? For a while there, it did seem like she was making progress, though, right? Well, so much for that.
(SIGHS) And you know she's down there? She just won't talk to you? Nope.
And I love her, God help me.
And Cadence needs her.
But how can I let this happen again? Listen, Avery, if you're tired of waiting for her, why don't you just go get her? Just pick up and fly to Bolivia? Y'all got a jet, right? Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
Y'all ready to do this or what? Whoa.
(LAUGHING) I can literally see the outline of your skull.
I think I saw you in a comic book once.
- Can you just Can you Please? - Hi, Maddie.
Twig? Twig? Twig? - Twig? - What? Are you okay? Here you go! Guys, what's wrong with him? - Nothing.
- What do you mean, nothing? He's just trippin'.
He's just trippin'.
What's funny? What's funny? You are, stupid.
- (LAUGHS) - Please stop, stop laughing.
Stop.
Stop! I'm asking you to stop laughing! Stop laughing! Stop laughing! - No, no, no, no.
Stop.
Stop it.
- Twig, it's okay.
Stop! Stop it! I'm asking you to stop laughing! Stop! Stop! What should we do? Nothing, he's fine.
It'll wear off.
- He's fine, really? - I don't like this! - I don't, I don't, I don't like this! - It's okay.
It's okay.
- Hey, dude! Relax! Calm down, man.
- No, I can't.
You're ruining it for everyone.
Stop! Stop! Twig, just come here, it's okay.
Just come with me, okay? Okay.
Just breathe with me, okay? In.
Out.
Do you feel any better? - No.
- No.
Okay, it's gonna be over soon.
When? Like three to four hours.
Oh, my God.
It's okay.
I'll be right here with you the whole time, okay? Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Okay, in.
Out.
- Hey! - Hey, yourself.
Come on in.
We're running a little bit late.
You think maybe we can grab something on the way, if you want? Sorry.
I'm not at all ready.
Are you okay with mac and cheese for dinner? Not that you have any other options.
Please.
First two years in town, that's all I ate.
Oh, good.
Hey, Jake! Dinner! I'm right here.
All right, 'cause your dad just called and informed me that he ordered an Uber and it is going to be here very shortly.
Are you all packed? No.
You're not? Jake, I asked All right, you know what? I'm gonna pack.
- You eat.
Can you - I got it.
I'll serve it up.
All right, come and get it.
I wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed your performance.
- Really? - Yeah.
I mean, you said it was "really something".
Figured that meant you hated it.
Nope.
Meant it was really something.
It was great.
To be honest, I'm not smart or cool enough to really understand the medium all that well.
But the words you said, the heart behind it.
Cut right through me.
You know, my dad was a tough one.
He told me that I would never be able to make it in the music business.
He said I was no good.
Nothing was gonna come of it.
The worst part is, I believed him sometimes.
Let him get to me so much that I sort of inherited some of his worst traits.
Fell into his trap, you know.
Took me a long time before I finally realized that he was wrong.
I was worth something.
I know the other night, your work, it just showed real honesty.
You feel things deeply and that can be hard, but it's worth it.
It's a gift.
You keep doin' what you're doin'.
I love you, sweetie.
I'll see you later.
Look forward to it.
Mm, we gotta hurry.
We're gonna miss the show.
We're gonna miss the show.
- Hey.
- Hey.
(LAUGHING) I was born at the end of an old dirt road Before I could walk, I was ready to roll When I turned 16, my brother threw me the key He said, hey, little sister, better watch your speed Now I'm smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Takin' a drag and I'm makin' some noise I'm smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Ooh, smoking the boys Come on Get the motor running, baby Four, don't let the trannie pop know Three, you got to feel it in your fingers Two, come on, get ready to rock, come on - One, go - Go - Go - Go Smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Takin' a drag and makin' some noise I'm smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Smokin' the boys Smokin' the boys, smokin' the boys Takin' a drag and I'm makin' some noise I'm smokin' the boys, smokin the boys Yeah, smokin' the boys! (CHEERING) Woo! Yeah! How are you feeling? Um Well I'm only in a total state of panic.
So I must be doing better.
Good.
I'm really sorry that you had to see me that way.
Oh, don't be sorry.
It says that heightened anxiety is really common.
Especially if you're already worried - about something to begin with.
- Oh, that's weird, 'cause I never worry about anything.
Oh, my gosh, you still have some orange stuff I can't stand not being in control.
I mean, actually, I want to be able to just like let go - and not worry about anything.
- Yeah.
But, you know, I'm worried that no one's gonna step up and be the responsible one.
- Oldest child? - Yeah.
- Yeah.
- But I also, uh What? Come on.
The whole world knows I have two dads and a famous mom who died.
What's your story? Yeah, I'm sorry about your mom.
Thank you.
My mom's sort of alive.
What does that mean? Aw, she's just always had issues.
After my dad peaced out, she just basically got super depressed and like was kind of useless as a parent.
And so it kind of fell on me to take care of my brother and sister.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, so like she was always super paranoid that Child Protective Services would take us away from her.
So she was on me to make sure everyone was always okay.
That's so unfair.
Kind of helped me grow up.
Do the stuff I can do now.
Yeah? Like what? Just like figure out the logistics for the crew and like hang out with producers and see what they do.
You wanna produce? No.
I mean, I do stupid stuff on my laptop.
Well, you should show me some of your stupid stuff.
- Oh, yeah, okay, sure.
- Yeah.
Hey, when I think of something that doesn't suck, I'll let you know.
How's that? Thank you, Nashville! Goodnight! Woo! Yeah! Great show, guys! See you around.
Okay, bye.
And there she goes again.
Going home, to her ex-boyfriend, to an underground rave.
Who knows? Or more accurately, who cares? Is that really necessary, man? Yeah.
I think it is.
I'm riding high off of a good show and your pining is coming dangerously close to ruining it.
Oh, yeah.
Bet you had a great show.
You hijacked Alannah's performance on like every song.
Oh, I hijacked Alannah's part? Yeah.
She hijacked our entire band.
Guys, can we not do this tonight? Why is it so hard for you to recognize that she's been nothing but great for the band? I thought we were pretty great without her! And don't think I don't know what this is really about.
Okay.
Well, what is this really about? You're afraid to be fronted by Will Lexington, the gay cowboy.
Like this is gonna be some sort of gay band.
Like the country version of The Village People.
Oh, my God! Are you crazy, man? Guys! I can't do this right now, okay? My wife's missing, I'm flying to Bolivia at six in the morning! Wait, what? With any luck, I'll be back in 48 hours with Juliette.
Hi.
I'm here to see Juliette Barnes.
Okay.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm not seeing an appointment listed She's my wife.
Sir, this is a private campus.
I can't let you inside.
Okay, then bring her out here.
Without an appointment? You will have to leave, make an appointment Listen to me! I will see my wife! And I'm not leaving this room until I do! Excuse me.
My name's Avery Barkley.
Hey.
Hey, good morning.
Mm-hmm.
It's afternoon actually.
Yeah, you're right.
(CHUCKLES) Look, I'm sorry about last night.
Again, that was really not cool of me.
Don't be, seriously.
Bathroom floors are kind of like my preferred hangout spot - for Saturday night, so - Oh! That's good, that's good.
- Yeah.
- (CHUCKLES) And, honestly, you were cute when you were freaking out.
Well, hey, I'll tell you what.
Next time I freak out, you can be the first person I call.
- How's that sound? - Yes.
Amazing, awesome.
I actually realized that I don't even have your number.
- Yeah, you don't.
- Hey! Hey, you're back! How was it? Did you get the part? I don't know.
Hopefully, we'll see.
How you doing? How's your day? - It's good.
- It's good? I'm bummed.
I missed out on the weekend with you.
Well, there are more weekends.
And, honestly, you didn't miss much.
Well, I will make it up to you.
- Will you? - Yes, I will.
Name a country and we'll go there.
You are so ridiculous.
- (LAUGHS) - I'm ridiculous? - Yes.
- Oh, okay What are you doing here? What do you mean? Guess I figured after yesterday, you were kind of done with me or something.
Well, that's stupid.
(GRUNTING) (PANTING) Follow him, please.
Juliette? Why didn't you answer my calls? Sorry.
I couldn't.
What, did they take your phone away? No, nothing like that.
Then what's going on? You're not acting like yourself.
You're right.
I'm not the person I was.
But I'm more myself than I've ever been in my life.
(SIGHS) Juliette, what what does that even mean? It means that I've lived my whole life for other people.
And for the first time, I'm doing it on my own terms.
That's crazy.
You've always lived your life on your own terms.
You never gave a damn what anyone else thought! I understand why you think that, but you're wrong.
I needed people too much.
I had to control everything.
Because I was afraid if I didn't, I would be erased.
Okay, so we'll deal with that.
You're part of the problem.
You and everybody else.
But I don't blame you.
You didn't know what you were doing.
But you had a stake in keeping me the way I was.
That is insane.
And I knew you would say that.
And that's why I can't be with you.
Why I can't have anything to do with my old life until I learn how to fill this hole in my heart on my own.
Not from the outside.
Okay, this place is bad for you.
And we're gonna leave.
- Come on.
We're gonna get your stuff.
- No.
- I'm taking you to the airport.
- No! - You're gonna come home! - No, Avery! You're not listening to me! I'm not coming home.
What about Cadence? Cadence can come and live with me as long as I'm down here.
Here? Yes.
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Why is that any different from her being with you? That is not an option! Fine.
Then I will FaceTime her every day.
I am still her mother.
I am not abandoning her in any way.
She's not the problem.
I am.
You are not the problem.
I am.
And I can't communicate with you or anybody else until I can change that.
Juliette, you and I have been through everything together, everything! I came down here because I am very, very worried about you.
And I don't wanna lose you.
Please listen to me right now.
I love you.
I need you to come home, okay? Come back with me, please.
I've already made my decision.
Next on Nashville What did you say to Bucky about the TV gig? I'm not your charity case.
Are you okay? What you see as a harmless invite I see as anxiety he doesn't need.
- You gotta leave me alone.
- Why? Because I can't be fixed.
I auditioned for Nashville's Next today.
Brad Maitland's show? His hands are over every single part of it, and he cannot be trusted.
- He's sending me to boarding school.
- What? - You think this is cause of us? - Maybe.
- Is he ready? - He doesn't want to go.
Are you going to make me come in there? Let go of him, Brad! Stop it!
