Nashville (2012–2018): Season 4, Episode 6 - Episode #4.6 - full transcript
Previously on "Nashville"...
I need to stay another day.
There's some stuff we
need to sort through here.
Come with me. I'm so ready.
You've got so much growing up to do.
I'm gonna be making the rules.
You're gearing up to launch a
Luke Wheeler lifestyle brand.
There's business, there's
pleasure. I don't mix the two.
- It's my song.
- This will establish you as a songwriter.
That's not what I came to Nashville to do.
Thanks for the ride, guys... seriously.
I'm the artist, okay? What I say goes.
I'm a good producer.
Good, 'cause you're
not my producer anymore.
I want to divorce my wife.
I want full custody of our daughter.
This is my lawyer's
number. You have 24 hours.
That was... pretty great.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Thanks again for the ride back.
Wait... you're leaving?
Yeah. I got stuff I need
to take care of today.
Well, you want to, uh...
You want to grab breakfast?
Not really a breakfast person.
Okay. Sure.
Uh, well, I can at least
give you a... give you a lift.
It's cool.
I'll Uber.
This was fun.
Oh, wait. I... I don't have your number.
I know where you live.
I hope you got good sleep.
We're gonna need all of that charm of yours
for the day we've got planned.
Well, seems to have worked on
everybody so far, hasn't it?
Well... almost everybody.
You've got a luncheon
with investors at noon
and then a presentation to
brand executives at 3:00.
If all goes well, then
tonight's event on the rooftop
- should be a victory celebration.
- Mm.
It sucks here without you.
The last 12 hours have been painful.
Oh, come on. Is it really that bad?
Hey, how mad was your
mom when you got home?
Pretty mad.
I mean, she grounded
me for getting onstage,
if you can believe that.
She doesn't know, does she?
What? That I love you?
No, she doesn't.
I love you, too.
My mom's here. I have to go.
So, I was just talking to your father,
and we want to take your phone away.
Why?!
Because you have taken
advantage of our trust,
and you're gonna have to earn it back.
You are making such a
big deal of this, Mom.
I got onstage with Juliette.
Look, when you get up onstage like that,
it makes an impression.
What you wear, the song that you choose...
all of that leaves a mark
about who you are as an
artist and as a person.
And if grounding you and
taking your phone away
is the only way we're
gonna get that across,
then that's what's gonna happen.
- Mom.
- No. Phone, please.
- Just let me text Colt one last time.
- Right... right now.
Maddie Conrad, give me that phone.
Mr. Arkham. Hey.
She did?
What'd she say?
To all the terms?
- Hey! Morning, Cady.
- Uh-huh.
Long time, no see.
All right. Thanks for calling. Yeah.
Yeah.
You okay?
I'm getting a divorce.
I don't know if I'm ready to do this.
Do what?
Go on tour with Gunnar. We leave in a week.
My mama dies, and I just go
back to living my life? It's...
Yeah, I get that. Doesn't seem right.
Just going on like nothing even happened.
Like she wasn't even here.
Well, the sooner we get home,
the sooner I can figure it out.
- I got that. Hey.
- I got it.
Here. Thank you.
Scarlett O'Connor.
You're Beverly's daughter, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Uh, this is my Uncle Deacon.
Hi. Beverly told me about you both.
We were old friends.
I... I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
How long you in town?
Oh, we leave today.
We're just packing up
the last of her things.
Mm, that's a shame.
The owner of the Landslide's having a
get-together tonight in Beverly's honor.
Landslide?
That's the lounge Mama used to sing at.
Sundays were her night,
and this'll be the first
one since she passed.
How long's she been doing that?
I'd say about the last four years.
She'll definitely be missed.
Thank you.
So, come on in. Welcome.
Oh, yeah. Nice pad.
Thanks.
Help yourself.
Um, so, let's talk about what
happened with Avery yesterday.
Yeah, I don't know what's
wrong with that guy,
but obviously, that dude
was the wrong choice.
Well, let's figure out the right choice,
you know... what worked, what didn't work,
- what you're gonna need.
- Well, it's just, you know, it's like,
the thing with him was that
he didn't get me, you know?
What I was trying to do.
Well, I've got a great list of producers.
We're gonna set up meetings with them.
What about you?
No, I'm not a producer.
I mean, and I want you to have the best.
These guys have so much experience,
- and they're gonna be...
- So, what?
They're gonna lecture me
about what country music is?
No. You're the one who saw
something special in my music.
You're the one who sold me
on this whole country thing.
So why aren't you producing my record?
Rayna, I'm not taking no for an answer.
I mean, I'll give it a shot.
Yes!
Okay, so, check this
out... after Avery left,
me and the boys, we came
up with this new song.
You got to hear it.
Okay. Great. Let's set it
up first thing tomorrow.
No. No, no, no, no.
We're gonna start today, okay?
So meet me at sound check.
Babe!
Hey, you!
Oh!
Mm.
Did you miss me?
So much.
That's Juliette Barnes.
Hey.
Hey, Juliette. Is everything okay?
Avery's divorcing me.
It's that singer. It's Juliette Barnes.
What's wrong with her?
It's her. I know it's her.
Is she sick?
That's Juliette.
That's Juliette.
Wait! Get a picture of her.
Juliette, Juliette. Can
I take a picture with you?
Please?
Aah! Get off!
Stay away from me!
What the hell? Hey. Hey!
Oh, my god.
Get her off me! Get her off me!
Aah! Leave me alone!
Aah! Get off me!
I just want to say, there's nothing
wrong with being a songwriter,
but... my dream was always to perform.
If we give that song to Luke,
it feels like I'm giving that up.
Right.
I know you're disappointed.
More like confused.
If performing is what you love...
It is.
That stage... that's the place
I've always felt happiest.
That's where you should be.
Hey, look, I have a friend
hosting a showcase tonight.
Why don't I give him a call,
see if he'll put you on the bill?
Why not?
I mean, what in the world is
going on with you, Juliette?
Last night, you... you
pull that stunt with Maddie.
Now you attack a fan.
What is it... booze, drugs?
You know what? It's none of your business.
Leave me alone.
Well, I talked to the fan.
She's not gonna press charges.
That's great, but word's
still gonna spread.
I saw more than a few cellphones out.
I mean, could the timing
of this be any worse?
What's the potential fallout?
We've chosen some pretty wholesome brands
to get into business with.
You're saying it could
jeopardize everything.
Unless we control the story in the press.
Make it so Juliette's not at fault.
Sounds like a long shot.
It could be our only shot.
Listen, I got investors downstairs
waiting to have lunch with me.
Y'all just do what you can, okay?
Do you really think you can pull
this off in the next few hours?
Yeah.
But if I do, you got
to do something for me.
Convince Luke to make me his C.E.O.
- That's a bold ask.
- You wanted me to to prove
that I could put the job first, right?
How does this do that?
You would have needed to clean
this up for Juliette anyway.
Let me put this another way.
I could also do nothing,
spend the day with my girlfriend,
and everything that you and
Luke have been working towards
for weeks goes down in flames.
* tell me what you have to gain from *
* paintin' this town with a devil like me *
* make it black and white *
* are we talking 'bout the same love *
* or could it end up in misery? *
* Saint Theresa, you're
the reason I can change *
Oh, my god. It's him.
Yep.
Why did I have to come?
She's the one in trouble, Mom.
Honey, it's Markus Keen.
* In the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* hey, baby, I can give it all up *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of... *
Hold up, guys.
- Rayna!
- Hi.
- You made it.
- Yes.
Thank you.
Hey. Hi.
- Uh, these are my daughters, Maddie and Daphne.
- Hi.
Hey, Mr. Keen. I'm, like, such a huge fan.
Oh, please... call me Markus.
So, what do you think?
I loved it. It sounded like Boulevard.
Right? Right? Yeah.
Hold on a second. I recognize you.
The guys just showed me
a clip of you singing in Atlanta.
You killed that.
- Well, thank you.
- Yes.
Why don't y'all go sit
on the couch over there
and get yourselves comfortable?
Okay.
And you, Madame Producer, you like?
Um, yeah. It sounds great.
It does sound like Boulevard.
Hold on.
You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
No, no, but we had just talked about
how you wanted to change
up the sound a little bit.
This... this isn't
Boulevard. This is all me.
Uh, no, I... I hear that,
and it's a great song.
Let's just play around
with it a little bit.
You wanted me to be your producer, right?
- Hey, y'all.
- Rayna!
Yeah.
- I've got news.
- Guess what.
Sorry. You first.
Kevin's buddy got me on the bill.
I'm gonna perform tonight.
- Oh, that's awesome.
- Good for you, man.
Yeah, thank you.
So, what's your news?
An earring?
- Mm-hmm.
- How is that news?
I found it on the floor. It must be Erin's.
- Who?
- The girl Gunnar slept with last night
who didn't leave her number.
Because she left this.
It's what women do.
They... they leave something behind
so you're forced to track them down.
Come on. It's a game.
No, it was a one-night stand.
Gunnar, you always do this.
You chase every girl you hook up with
and try to turn it into a relationship.
- Country star Juliette Barnes is in the news again.
- If she didn't leave her number,
she doesn't want to see you.
- Cellphone footage is pouring in from Atlanta...
- Avery.
... where she allegedly attacked a fan
who approached her for an autograph.
It's unclear as to why
the star attacked the fan.
Perhaps it's the pressure
of her demanding schedule.
There's something really wrong.
I should call her, make sure she's okay.
No, don't call her.
If you do, you're just gonna get
sucked back into her craziness.
He's right, man. Juliette is
officially no longer your problem.
He doesn't want me anymore.
You are not to leave this
room for the rest of the day.
Why wouldn't he list...
Now, sit.
Wait. Wait. Where are you going?
Oh. You're going to Layla?
I need you more than she does.
What you need is to get sober.
You know that you would
drop her in a second
- if I gave you another shot at me.
- Yeah?
All you were to me was
a one-time bang in a
broom closet, sweetheart.
- Shut up.
- Hey...
What the hell? Hey!
Sit!
What is wrong with you?!
You know you want me. Everybody wants me.
I couldn't want a woman less.
No wonder Avery left you.
What a waste.
That's all the books packed up.
Thank you.
The rest of this stuff should
only take about an hour,
and then we can hit the road.
I was thinking...
maybe we could go to that gathering
they're having for your mother.
Well, we really got to go
while there's still daylight.
Don't you want to see all
the people, see the place?
I have.
It's just a... sad lounge
where none of mama's dreams came true.
I still want to go.
Fine. I... I'm gonna stay here.
Yes. I love that.
Perfect. Okay, all right.
Want to give it a shot?
Yeah.
See what happens.
Man: 3... 4...
Uh, kill it. Just... stop.
What's up?
I'm just not feeling it.
Okay, well, um...
should we sing one through
and just see what happens?
No, I don't really see what the point is
if I know I don't like it, you know?
Well, it's definitely different
from what you're used to.
Yeah. I get that.
But you don't need to be afraid of that.
Oh.
I'm not afraid.
I... okay, I don't mean "afraid."
Just... you don't have to resist it
just 'cause it's new, you know?
I mean, let's try a
bunch of different stuff.
Fine, but this isn't a
collaboration right now.
This is a dictation.
- No, it's not.
- Yeah, it is.
You put this whole arrangement
together without even asking me.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it i...
you know, maybe you were right before.
Maybe you shouldn't produce me.
Okay.
But just so we're clear,
I'm doing exactly what you asked me to do.
No, that's when I
thought you got me, Rayna.
You don't.
You know what?
Maybe this whole thing is a mistake.
Hi.
Finally.
Hey. I know. Listen, I can't stay, though.
I got to take care of
this Juliette situation.
What? I thought that's
what you've been doing.
I... yes, but there's more to it.
Are these... scratches?
Stop it.
- Oh, my god.
- It's nothing.
What... are you sleeping with her again?!
- Hey, hey, don't be ridiculous.
- Why?!
You've done it before! She told me herself!
Well, do you think I
give a damn about her?!
Listen to me.
- Stop.
- Listen to me.
If I can just clean up this
Juliette thing in the press...
- Ugh!
- Okay, look, I have a real shot
at being the C.E.O. of Luke's new company.
- What?
- And if that happens,
we'll never have to deal with her again.
Well... so you won't be my manager, either?
No. I won't.
Which will make things
a lot less complicated
when you move in with me.
What?
Really?
Yeah.
What are you still doing here?
Go.
Hello?
Erin. Hey. It's... it's Gunnar.
How did you get my number?
Actually, it's, uh, kind of a funny story.
I called Juliette's tour
manager and asked him for it,
but he wouldn't give it to me
'cause of some confidentiality policy.
Anyway, so I told him I was
looking for a sound tech.
You know, 'cause Juliette had you fired.
Quick thinking, right?
Anyway, uh, he finally gave it to me,
and, uh, now here we are.
Okay.
So... what do you want?
Well, uh...
You left your earring here,
and I figured you probably wanted it back.
I wasn't wearing earrings last night.
Oh.
Well, anyway, um,
since I got you,
I was wondering if, by chance,
you wanted to catch my buddy
Will Lexington sing tonight.
He's sort of giving a surprise performance.
Sure. Why not?
Just text me the details,
and I'll meet you there.
Bye, Gunnar.
* More than any other
girl I've ever known *
Well, what can I get you?
Club soda.
Okay.
* More than all things here
on earth I have been shown *
Just passing through?
Uh, I grew up here.
Haven't been back in 20 years, though.
Still got family in town?
* As roses want the rain... *
Not anymore.
* I want you *
* I want you *
Can we have a conversation
about what just happened, please?
Look, I brought you to Nashville
because I could hear the
storyteller in your music,
and that's what I'm
trying to get out there.
I want to be able to connect your voice
to the audience, like we talked about.
You and I both know the only
reason you brought me to Nashville
is because you need me...
because your label was going under,
you couldn't sign a big Nashville act.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, fine. Sure, I needed you.
But I would argue you needed me.
Oh, yeah? And how do you figure that?
The word is out on you.
I mean, come on...
difficult, arrogant, abrasive.
- Okay.
- All of it kind of proving to be true right now.
Cool. Rayna, then let's just
cut ties. How 'bout that?
No!
Look, you're lashing out
because you're questioning everything
and you're doubting it.
And I get it... you're scared.
But we have the opportunity
to do something special here.
I wish you would trust me on that.
I just... I'm... I'm...
I'm not... I'm not hearing,
you know, what you're hearing.
Did I ever tell you about the
first time I heard your music?
Come with me.
... getting some feedback.
Hey, girls. Hey.
Y'all know that Boulevard song
you sang at the talent show?
How'd you feel about singing
that for Markus right now?
Wait... they're gonna sing my song?
Yeah.
I want you to hear what I heard.
Oh. So now you want me to sing.
Yeah. I do.
Now? Right now?
Yeah. Is that okay?
Not really.
Seriously?
Hey, easy.
What's the matter, honey?
I just... I don't want to.
I'll be right back.
Yeah.
Hey.
Mom, I don't want to sing, okay?
Okay. Okay. You don't have to sing.
I just want to make sure you're all right.
You usually jump at the
chance to sing a song.
Seems like lately,
you don't want anything
to do with music at all.
What's the matter?
After me and Maddie sang
that song at the talent show,
I was in the bathroom,
and I overheard these
girls saying mean things.
Like what?
Stuff about Dad...
... and how we should be
embarrassed to be onstage.
Well, that is... ridiculous.
You are so talented.
You and your sister should
have nothing but pride
in the gift that you have.
No one's ever said
anything about me like that.
You know, people...
... they're always gonna be negative.
But that can't ever take
away from what you do
and how you feel about it.
I mean, you love music, right?
You love how you feel when you're singing.
Right?
No one can ever take that from you.
* Yeah, I am who I am
'cause I been where I been *
* I've seen the wrong side of the fence *
* that's why I stay on
the move doin' what I do *
* livin' it up while I can *
* no, there ain't no roadblocks, baby *
* ain't no red lights, baby *
* not a stop sign, baby *
Get up there! Go on!
* On this rock 'n' roll road *
* that gets wild *
* wild and free *
* better learn how to fly *
* if you wanna run with me *
... news from Atlanta.
The fan attacked by
Juliette Barnes this morning
has issued a formal apology.
What happened this morning with Ms. Barnes
was my fault.
I have been stalking her for weeks,
seeking her out at hotels and venues,
invading her privacy.
Today, I took my harassment too far,
provoking her verbally and physically.
Juliette Barnes is a role model
for young women everywhere,
and I am sorry for any negative attention
I may have brought upon her by my behavior.
What can I do for you, Avery?
What's wrong with Juliette?
Nothing. Why?
She attacked a fan.
- Who provoked her.
- Oh, give me a break.
That apology had your
fingerprints all over it.
Is she losing it? She having a breakdown?
You left her. Why do you care?
Because I do, okay?
She's the mother of my
child, and she's sick.
She needs more than a
manager paying people off.
She needs help, and if
you don't get it for her,
- so help me god...
- Look, look, look, man, look.
The last time I saw
her, she was in her room,
and she was fine.
Yes, you remember Beverly
got so peeved at you
'cause you were making a noise.
She stopped the band
- and told you to pipe down.
- That sounds like my sister.
Oh. Excuse me one second. Pardon me.
Hey.
Hey. I'm so glad you came.
Packed, ready to go.
No. No, we can't go
now. Look at this place.
All these people here,
they showed up for your mom.
Who are they all?
Well, they're friends from around town.
They're people who'd come
here and hear her sing.
Let me introduce you now. Come on.
- Please, I...
- Hey.
This is Scarlett. This
is Beverly's daughter.
- This is my niece.
- So nice to meet you, honey.
- This is Carol right here.
- Nice to meet you, too.
* When it's cold outside *
* And the wind starts to blow *
Excuse me.
Hey.
Hey. Did you see Will?
He jumped offstage after
his set and disappeared.
- No, but have you seen Erin?
- Who?
The girl who rode back from
Atlanta with us last night.
Why would she be here?
Don't worry about it.
Hey.
- There you are!
- Hey.
- I've been looking for you.
- Same here.
I wanted to say thank
you before I took off.
You're... you're going?
Yeah. Some friends and I
are headed to another bar...
sort of a "ladies' night out" thing.
Oh, yeah.
Uh... well, nice nice seeing you.
Let's, um, let's take
it from the top. Cool?
Hey.
Hey.
What's going on?
I heard the song.
I think I get it now.
Did you sing it for him already?
Daphne said she didn't want to.
* Well, angel, what's your name? *
* Baby, tell me where you came from *
* all the way from heaven,
that's a long way down *
* guess you found your sinner,
girl, I ain't a saint, no *
* but maybe you can save me now *
* Saint Theresa, you're
the reason I can change *
* you make me want to be a better man, baby *
* I got some skeletons in my yesterday *
* but, baby, I can give 'em all up *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* yeah, baby, I can give 'em all up *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* yeah, baby, I can give 'em all up *
Where I come from,
the guy picks up the girl
on the way to the dance.
I bring good news.
Yeah?
I just received commitments
from all the remaining investors.
The Luke Wheeler Lifestyle
Brand is now fully funded.
You're serious.
Hey! All right!
Oh, I can't thank you enough.
Well... you were the
one who wowed everybody.
And, uh, thanks to Jeff,
that whole Juliette episode this morning
was a non-issue.
Well, I guess I ought
to give him a hug, too.
Actually, I was thinking of something else.
What's that?
The C.E.O. job.
I thought we already talked about that.
We did.
But now I'm asking you to reconsider.
Have you seen the news?
Yeah, I just...
There is something really wrong with her.
- I can tell.
- Yeah, I know. Me too.
Have you called her?
No.
But you're going to, right?
No. I'm not.
What do you mean? You're...
you're practically her father.
You're acting like you don't even care!
Of course I care!
Avery, it is breaking my heart
to watch this happen to her.
And I know it's breaking yours, too.
I know you're still in love with Juliette.
But it doesn't matter how
much you care about her
if she doesn't care about herself.
Look, I can't believe I'm saying this.
The best thing that you can do right now
is to just cut yourself off emotionally.
* In the name of your love *
* yeah, baby *
So?
Honestly...
- That was amazing.
- Yeah?
- That's what we were talking about!
- Ohh! Thank you.
That's what this record's gonna be.
Well, see, that's why I want you producing.
- You're still crazy.
- No.
Hey, and I got to thank
Maddie. Girl, you unlocked it.
Can we go home now?
In all the years I've had this bar,
Beverly's night was always my best.
Is that right?
She was a born performer.
- She was that.
- Yeah.
It's just too bad this is Natchez
and not Nashville.
Your mother used to come into my salon,
sit in my chair, and brag on
you till the moment she left.
About what?
Well, how you were out
on tour with Luke Wheeler
or opening for Rascal Flatts.
And then there was a clip of you
with some fella named
Gunnar on the Internet?
She must have played
it for me a dozen times.
Really?
You know, no one was
supposed to sing tonight,
but that was when nobody
knew you were coming.
Would you consider singing something?
Uh, do you think that would be appropriate?
Dear, I think it would be perfect.
Told you this would be fun.
Yeah, hanging out with a
bunch of stuffy, old people
instead of my girlfriend.
Time of my life.
You know what?
Why don't you try and
enjoy yourself a little bit?
I'll enjoy this.
- Hey, y'all.
- Hey.
You certainly went all-out.
Well, I got a lot to celebrate.
Uh, listen.
I know you were interested
in the C.E.O. position.
I also know I haven't
always trusted you, Jeff.
But today, you more than
proved your commitment to me.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
- I won't let you down.
- No, I know.
Have fun tonight.
Tomorrow, we start
talking about the future.
- All right.
- All right.
Huh? Mnh!
You did it!
- I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
Better call the movers.
Already did.
You all right?
Did you not see those girls
push that gay guy up front,
like he's the only one I can sing to?
They were just having fun.
That doesn't matter.
That's how they see me now.
So what am I looking at from here on out?
A lifetime of playing gay pride parades?
I think you're being a little dramatic.
No, I'm not.
My dream is dead.
What do you want me to say, Will?
Don't say anything.
Which is what I should have done.
I mean, if I hadn't opened my damn mouth
at that press conference,
none of this would even be happening.
I can't keep doing this with you.
We're done.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
And for those of you that I
haven't gotten to meet yet,
I'm Scarlett.
I'm Beverly's daughter.
I'd really like to sing one
of my mama's songs for you,
if that would be all right.
This is a song that she
closed all her shows with.
* The curtains will close *
* the lights will go dim *
* and I'll change my clothes
for the last time, my friend *
* gather my roses *
* swallow your tears *
* I may be leaving, but at least I was here *
* so goodbye, and thank you *
* it's my last curtain call *
* when you hear the applause,
hang my hat on the wall *
* but I'll never be far *
* I'm as close as the wind *
* so goodbye, and thank you *
* I'll see you again *
* so I'm closing my eyes *
* and I'll picture your face *
* this beautiful life did not go to waste *
* goodbye, and thank you *
* it's my last curtain call *
* I can hear the applause,
hang my hat on the wall *
* but I'll never be far *
* I'm as close as the wind *
* so goodbye, and thank you *
* I'll see you again *
Told you I knew where you lived.
I'm a little confused.
Why?
Well, this morning, you... you fled,
and then you accept my
invitation to the show,
only, you kind of blew me off,
and now you're here.
Sounds like you have a
pretty good handle on it.
Wait. What what is this?
Fun.
Hey, Maddie.
What?
Can I talk to you for a sec?
So, honey, did you see the difference
between what you sang today with Markus
and what you did with Juliette last night?
No.
Okay, well, what you did today
was your interpretation of his song.
It was from you. It was from your heart.
What you did last night was something else.
It was... not reflective of
you or who you want to be.
Whatever you say, Mom.
- Hey, one more thing.
- Hmm?
Daphne's been having a tough time.
I think she really wanted
to sing with you today.
How was I supposed to know that
she was gonna change her mind?
You weren't. You weren't. I'm just...
I just want you to be
aware so that you can try
to be more considerate of
her feelings... that's all.
Why should I care what you want
when you do not care what I want?
You know, all these years,
I thought mama resented me for my career.
'Cause I had something she
wanted so bad and never got.
Turns out she was proud of me.
She still is, too, sweetheart.
I know she was smiling
down from above tonight.
I'm gonna do that tour with Gunnar.
It's what she would have wanted for me.
So I'm gonna do it for her.
Well, good.
I'm glad you made me stay.
Me too.
Now I know how much she
meant to that place...
... how much it must have meant to her.
Sorry!
Hey! There you are. Haven't seen you.
Yeah, I've just been around,
having fun, like you said.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm just tired. I'm gonna go to bed.
Okay.
Amazing night.
Quite possibly the best ever.
What do you say we go celebrate alone?
Uh, I should probably stay
here for a little bit longer.
You go. I'll be down soon.
Okay. Take your time.
If I'm asleep when you
get in, just wake me.
_
_
Hey.
Hey, hold on a sec.
I'm not catching you too late, am I?
Never too late if you need to talk.
You all right?
Actually, yeah.
I'm... I'm pretty good.
So what's up?
Well, I've been thinking
about that bar of yours.
I know you've been having
some trouble keeping her going.
You're right about that.
Well, I think I might have
some ideas to help out
a little bit, and I, uh...
... I want to buy in.
You serious?
I am, yeah.
I was wondering if I could
make one request, though.
What's that?
That we rename the place.
How do you feel about...
"The Beverly"?
All right, thanks for coming, y'all.
Thank you for keeping your word.
Hey, you earned it.
What do you think, team? Time to call it?
I'd say it was a successful day.
Many more to come.
Hey, you coming?
I'm gonna take a minute.
All right. Suit yourself, C.E.O.
Well, I guess everything
worked out perfectly.
You really not gonna invite me in?
I told you...
there are lines I don't cross
when it comes to clients.
Fair enough.
You're fired.
Really?
After everything I've done for you?
Oh, it's just for tonight.
I plan on hiring you back
first thing in the morning.
Hello?
Hey, it's me.
Maddie?
Yeah. I took Daphne's phone.
Hey.
Nice to hear from you.
Are you okay? You sound weird.
Um...
Yeah... you mind if I
actually call you back?
Sure.
Okay.
Ugh.
I can't have her grow up
thinking that she can depend on her mother
when we both know that she can't.
I lost everything that
meant anything to me.
I'm just stuck being
stupid, screwed-up me!
... a one-time bang in a
broom closet, sweetheart.
You don't need to remind me
of the mistakes I've made.
No wonder Avery left you.
What a waste.
Juliette.
Don't do this.
Please.
No!
I need to stay another day.
There's some stuff we
need to sort through here.
Come with me. I'm so ready.
You've got so much growing up to do.
I'm gonna be making the rules.
You're gearing up to launch a
Luke Wheeler lifestyle brand.
There's business, there's
pleasure. I don't mix the two.
- It's my song.
- This will establish you as a songwriter.
That's not what I came to Nashville to do.
Thanks for the ride, guys... seriously.
I'm the artist, okay? What I say goes.
I'm a good producer.
Good, 'cause you're
not my producer anymore.
I want to divorce my wife.
I want full custody of our daughter.
This is my lawyer's
number. You have 24 hours.
That was... pretty great.
Yeah. Yeah, it was.
Thanks again for the ride back.
Wait... you're leaving?
Yeah. I got stuff I need
to take care of today.
Well, you want to, uh...
You want to grab breakfast?
Not really a breakfast person.
Okay. Sure.
Uh, well, I can at least
give you a... give you a lift.
It's cool.
I'll Uber.
This was fun.
Oh, wait. I... I don't have your number.
I know where you live.
I hope you got good sleep.
We're gonna need all of that charm of yours
for the day we've got planned.
Well, seems to have worked on
everybody so far, hasn't it?
Well... almost everybody.
You've got a luncheon
with investors at noon
and then a presentation to
brand executives at 3:00.
If all goes well, then
tonight's event on the rooftop
- should be a victory celebration.
- Mm.
It sucks here without you.
The last 12 hours have been painful.
Oh, come on. Is it really that bad?
Hey, how mad was your
mom when you got home?
Pretty mad.
I mean, she grounded
me for getting onstage,
if you can believe that.
She doesn't know, does she?
What? That I love you?
No, she doesn't.
I love you, too.
My mom's here. I have to go.
So, I was just talking to your father,
and we want to take your phone away.
Why?!
Because you have taken
advantage of our trust,
and you're gonna have to earn it back.
You are making such a
big deal of this, Mom.
I got onstage with Juliette.
Look, when you get up onstage like that,
it makes an impression.
What you wear, the song that you choose...
all of that leaves a mark
about who you are as an
artist and as a person.
And if grounding you and
taking your phone away
is the only way we're
gonna get that across,
then that's what's gonna happen.
- Mom.
- No. Phone, please.
- Just let me text Colt one last time.
- Right... right now.
Maddie Conrad, give me that phone.
Mr. Arkham. Hey.
She did?
What'd she say?
To all the terms?
- Hey! Morning, Cady.
- Uh-huh.
Long time, no see.
All right. Thanks for calling. Yeah.
Yeah.
You okay?
I'm getting a divorce.
I don't know if I'm ready to do this.
Do what?
Go on tour with Gunnar. We leave in a week.
My mama dies, and I just go
back to living my life? It's...
Yeah, I get that. Doesn't seem right.
Just going on like nothing even happened.
Like she wasn't even here.
Well, the sooner we get home,
the sooner I can figure it out.
- I got that. Hey.
- I got it.
Here. Thank you.
Scarlett O'Connor.
You're Beverly's daughter, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Uh, this is my Uncle Deacon.
Hi. Beverly told me about you both.
We were old friends.
I... I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
How long you in town?
Oh, we leave today.
We're just packing up
the last of her things.
Mm, that's a shame.
The owner of the Landslide's having a
get-together tonight in Beverly's honor.
Landslide?
That's the lounge Mama used to sing at.
Sundays were her night,
and this'll be the first
one since she passed.
How long's she been doing that?
I'd say about the last four years.
She'll definitely be missed.
Thank you.
So, come on in. Welcome.
Oh, yeah. Nice pad.
Thanks.
Help yourself.
Um, so, let's talk about what
happened with Avery yesterday.
Yeah, I don't know what's
wrong with that guy,
but obviously, that dude
was the wrong choice.
Well, let's figure out the right choice,
you know... what worked, what didn't work,
- what you're gonna need.
- Well, it's just, you know, it's like,
the thing with him was that
he didn't get me, you know?
What I was trying to do.
Well, I've got a great list of producers.
We're gonna set up meetings with them.
What about you?
No, I'm not a producer.
I mean, and I want you to have the best.
These guys have so much experience,
- and they're gonna be...
- So, what?
They're gonna lecture me
about what country music is?
No. You're the one who saw
something special in my music.
You're the one who sold me
on this whole country thing.
So why aren't you producing my record?
Rayna, I'm not taking no for an answer.
I mean, I'll give it a shot.
Yes!
Okay, so, check this
out... after Avery left,
me and the boys, we came
up with this new song.
You got to hear it.
Okay. Great. Let's set it
up first thing tomorrow.
No. No, no, no, no.
We're gonna start today, okay?
So meet me at sound check.
Babe!
Hey, you!
Oh!
Mm.
Did you miss me?
So much.
That's Juliette Barnes.
Hey.
Hey, Juliette. Is everything okay?
Avery's divorcing me.
It's that singer. It's Juliette Barnes.
What's wrong with her?
It's her. I know it's her.
Is she sick?
That's Juliette.
That's Juliette.
Wait! Get a picture of her.
Juliette, Juliette. Can
I take a picture with you?
Please?
Aah! Get off!
Stay away from me!
What the hell? Hey. Hey!
Oh, my god.
Get her off me! Get her off me!
Aah! Leave me alone!
Aah! Get off me!
I just want to say, there's nothing
wrong with being a songwriter,
but... my dream was always to perform.
If we give that song to Luke,
it feels like I'm giving that up.
Right.
I know you're disappointed.
More like confused.
If performing is what you love...
It is.
That stage... that's the place
I've always felt happiest.
That's where you should be.
Hey, look, I have a friend
hosting a showcase tonight.
Why don't I give him a call,
see if he'll put you on the bill?
Why not?
I mean, what in the world is
going on with you, Juliette?
Last night, you... you
pull that stunt with Maddie.
Now you attack a fan.
What is it... booze, drugs?
You know what? It's none of your business.
Leave me alone.
Well, I talked to the fan.
She's not gonna press charges.
That's great, but word's
still gonna spread.
I saw more than a few cellphones out.
I mean, could the timing
of this be any worse?
What's the potential fallout?
We've chosen some pretty wholesome brands
to get into business with.
You're saying it could
jeopardize everything.
Unless we control the story in the press.
Make it so Juliette's not at fault.
Sounds like a long shot.
It could be our only shot.
Listen, I got investors downstairs
waiting to have lunch with me.
Y'all just do what you can, okay?
Do you really think you can pull
this off in the next few hours?
Yeah.
But if I do, you got
to do something for me.
Convince Luke to make me his C.E.O.
- That's a bold ask.
- You wanted me to to prove
that I could put the job first, right?
How does this do that?
You would have needed to clean
this up for Juliette anyway.
Let me put this another way.
I could also do nothing,
spend the day with my girlfriend,
and everything that you and
Luke have been working towards
for weeks goes down in flames.
* tell me what you have to gain from *
* paintin' this town with a devil like me *
* make it black and white *
* are we talking 'bout the same love *
* or could it end up in misery? *
* Saint Theresa, you're
the reason I can change *
Oh, my god. It's him.
Yep.
Why did I have to come?
She's the one in trouble, Mom.
Honey, it's Markus Keen.
* In the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* hey, baby, I can give it all up *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of... *
Hold up, guys.
- Rayna!
- Hi.
- You made it.
- Yes.
Thank you.
Hey. Hi.
- Uh, these are my daughters, Maddie and Daphne.
- Hi.
Hey, Mr. Keen. I'm, like, such a huge fan.
Oh, please... call me Markus.
So, what do you think?
I loved it. It sounded like Boulevard.
Right? Right? Yeah.
Hold on a second. I recognize you.
The guys just showed me
a clip of you singing in Atlanta.
You killed that.
- Well, thank you.
- Yes.
Why don't y'all go sit
on the couch over there
and get yourselves comfortable?
Okay.
And you, Madame Producer, you like?
Um, yeah. It sounds great.
It does sound like Boulevard.
Hold on.
You're saying that like it's a bad thing.
No, no, but we had just talked about
how you wanted to change
up the sound a little bit.
This... this isn't
Boulevard. This is all me.
Uh, no, I... I hear that,
and it's a great song.
Let's just play around
with it a little bit.
You wanted me to be your producer, right?
- Hey, y'all.
- Rayna!
Yeah.
- I've got news.
- Guess what.
Sorry. You first.
Kevin's buddy got me on the bill.
I'm gonna perform tonight.
- Oh, that's awesome.
- Good for you, man.
Yeah, thank you.
So, what's your news?
An earring?
- Mm-hmm.
- How is that news?
I found it on the floor. It must be Erin's.
- Who?
- The girl Gunnar slept with last night
who didn't leave her number.
Because she left this.
It's what women do.
They... they leave something behind
so you're forced to track them down.
Come on. It's a game.
No, it was a one-night stand.
Gunnar, you always do this.
You chase every girl you hook up with
and try to turn it into a relationship.
- Country star Juliette Barnes is in the news again.
- If she didn't leave her number,
she doesn't want to see you.
- Cellphone footage is pouring in from Atlanta...
- Avery.
... where she allegedly attacked a fan
who approached her for an autograph.
It's unclear as to why
the star attacked the fan.
Perhaps it's the pressure
of her demanding schedule.
There's something really wrong.
I should call her, make sure she's okay.
No, don't call her.
If you do, you're just gonna get
sucked back into her craziness.
He's right, man. Juliette is
officially no longer your problem.
He doesn't want me anymore.
You are not to leave this
room for the rest of the day.
Why wouldn't he list...
Now, sit.
Wait. Wait. Where are you going?
Oh. You're going to Layla?
I need you more than she does.
What you need is to get sober.
You know that you would
drop her in a second
- if I gave you another shot at me.
- Yeah?
All you were to me was
a one-time bang in a
broom closet, sweetheart.
- Shut up.
- Hey...
What the hell? Hey!
Sit!
What is wrong with you?!
You know you want me. Everybody wants me.
I couldn't want a woman less.
No wonder Avery left you.
What a waste.
That's all the books packed up.
Thank you.
The rest of this stuff should
only take about an hour,
and then we can hit the road.
I was thinking...
maybe we could go to that gathering
they're having for your mother.
Well, we really got to go
while there's still daylight.
Don't you want to see all
the people, see the place?
I have.
It's just a... sad lounge
where none of mama's dreams came true.
I still want to go.
Fine. I... I'm gonna stay here.
Yes. I love that.
Perfect. Okay, all right.
Want to give it a shot?
Yeah.
See what happens.
Man: 3... 4...
Uh, kill it. Just... stop.
What's up?
I'm just not feeling it.
Okay, well, um...
should we sing one through
and just see what happens?
No, I don't really see what the point is
if I know I don't like it, you know?
Well, it's definitely different
from what you're used to.
Yeah. I get that.
But you don't need to be afraid of that.
Oh.
I'm not afraid.
I... okay, I don't mean "afraid."
Just... you don't have to resist it
just 'cause it's new, you know?
I mean, let's try a
bunch of different stuff.
Fine, but this isn't a
collaboration right now.
This is a dictation.
- No, it's not.
- Yeah, it is.
You put this whole arrangement
together without even asking me.
- That's not true.
- Yes, it i...
you know, maybe you were right before.
Maybe you shouldn't produce me.
Okay.
But just so we're clear,
I'm doing exactly what you asked me to do.
No, that's when I
thought you got me, Rayna.
You don't.
You know what?
Maybe this whole thing is a mistake.
Hi.
Finally.
Hey. I know. Listen, I can't stay, though.
I got to take care of
this Juliette situation.
What? I thought that's
what you've been doing.
I... yes, but there's more to it.
Are these... scratches?
Stop it.
- Oh, my god.
- It's nothing.
What... are you sleeping with her again?!
- Hey, hey, don't be ridiculous.
- Why?!
You've done it before! She told me herself!
Well, do you think I
give a damn about her?!
Listen to me.
- Stop.
- Listen to me.
If I can just clean up this
Juliette thing in the press...
- Ugh!
- Okay, look, I have a real shot
at being the C.E.O. of Luke's new company.
- What?
- And if that happens,
we'll never have to deal with her again.
Well... so you won't be my manager, either?
No. I won't.
Which will make things
a lot less complicated
when you move in with me.
What?
Really?
Yeah.
What are you still doing here?
Go.
Hello?
Erin. Hey. It's... it's Gunnar.
How did you get my number?
Actually, it's, uh, kind of a funny story.
I called Juliette's tour
manager and asked him for it,
but he wouldn't give it to me
'cause of some confidentiality policy.
Anyway, so I told him I was
looking for a sound tech.
You know, 'cause Juliette had you fired.
Quick thinking, right?
Anyway, uh, he finally gave it to me,
and, uh, now here we are.
Okay.
So... what do you want?
Well, uh...
You left your earring here,
and I figured you probably wanted it back.
I wasn't wearing earrings last night.
Oh.
Well, anyway, um,
since I got you,
I was wondering if, by chance,
you wanted to catch my buddy
Will Lexington sing tonight.
He's sort of giving a surprise performance.
Sure. Why not?
Just text me the details,
and I'll meet you there.
Bye, Gunnar.
* More than any other
girl I've ever known *
Well, what can I get you?
Club soda.
Okay.
* More than all things here
on earth I have been shown *
Just passing through?
Uh, I grew up here.
Haven't been back in 20 years, though.
Still got family in town?
* As roses want the rain... *
Not anymore.
* I want you *
* I want you *
Can we have a conversation
about what just happened, please?
Look, I brought you to Nashville
because I could hear the
storyteller in your music,
and that's what I'm
trying to get out there.
I want to be able to connect your voice
to the audience, like we talked about.
You and I both know the only
reason you brought me to Nashville
is because you need me...
because your label was going under,
you couldn't sign a big Nashville act.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, fine. Sure, I needed you.
But I would argue you needed me.
Oh, yeah? And how do you figure that?
The word is out on you.
I mean, come on...
difficult, arrogant, abrasive.
- Okay.
- All of it kind of proving to be true right now.
Cool. Rayna, then let's just
cut ties. How 'bout that?
No!
Look, you're lashing out
because you're questioning everything
and you're doubting it.
And I get it... you're scared.
But we have the opportunity
to do something special here.
I wish you would trust me on that.
I just... I'm... I'm...
I'm not... I'm not hearing,
you know, what you're hearing.
Did I ever tell you about the
first time I heard your music?
Come with me.
... getting some feedback.
Hey, girls. Hey.
Y'all know that Boulevard song
you sang at the talent show?
How'd you feel about singing
that for Markus right now?
Wait... they're gonna sing my song?
Yeah.
I want you to hear what I heard.
Oh. So now you want me to sing.
Yeah. I do.
Now? Right now?
Yeah. Is that okay?
Not really.
Seriously?
Hey, easy.
What's the matter, honey?
I just... I don't want to.
I'll be right back.
Yeah.
Hey.
Mom, I don't want to sing, okay?
Okay. Okay. You don't have to sing.
I just want to make sure you're all right.
You usually jump at the
chance to sing a song.
Seems like lately,
you don't want anything
to do with music at all.
What's the matter?
After me and Maddie sang
that song at the talent show,
I was in the bathroom,
and I overheard these
girls saying mean things.
Like what?
Stuff about Dad...
... and how we should be
embarrassed to be onstage.
Well, that is... ridiculous.
You are so talented.
You and your sister should
have nothing but pride
in the gift that you have.
No one's ever said
anything about me like that.
You know, people...
... they're always gonna be negative.
But that can't ever take
away from what you do
and how you feel about it.
I mean, you love music, right?
You love how you feel when you're singing.
Right?
No one can ever take that from you.
* Yeah, I am who I am
'cause I been where I been *
* I've seen the wrong side of the fence *
* that's why I stay on
the move doin' what I do *
* livin' it up while I can *
* no, there ain't no roadblocks, baby *
* ain't no red lights, baby *
* not a stop sign, baby *
Get up there! Go on!
* On this rock 'n' roll road *
* that gets wild *
* wild and free *
* better learn how to fly *
* if you wanna run with me *
... news from Atlanta.
The fan attacked by
Juliette Barnes this morning
has issued a formal apology.
What happened this morning with Ms. Barnes
was my fault.
I have been stalking her for weeks,
seeking her out at hotels and venues,
invading her privacy.
Today, I took my harassment too far,
provoking her verbally and physically.
Juliette Barnes is a role model
for young women everywhere,
and I am sorry for any negative attention
I may have brought upon her by my behavior.
What can I do for you, Avery?
What's wrong with Juliette?
Nothing. Why?
She attacked a fan.
- Who provoked her.
- Oh, give me a break.
That apology had your
fingerprints all over it.
Is she losing it? She having a breakdown?
You left her. Why do you care?
Because I do, okay?
She's the mother of my
child, and she's sick.
She needs more than a
manager paying people off.
She needs help, and if
you don't get it for her,
- so help me god...
- Look, look, look, man, look.
The last time I saw
her, she was in her room,
and she was fine.
Yes, you remember Beverly
got so peeved at you
'cause you were making a noise.
She stopped the band
- and told you to pipe down.
- That sounds like my sister.
Oh. Excuse me one second. Pardon me.
Hey.
Hey. I'm so glad you came.
Packed, ready to go.
No. No, we can't go
now. Look at this place.
All these people here,
they showed up for your mom.
Who are they all?
Well, they're friends from around town.
They're people who'd come
here and hear her sing.
Let me introduce you now. Come on.
- Please, I...
- Hey.
This is Scarlett. This
is Beverly's daughter.
- This is my niece.
- So nice to meet you, honey.
- This is Carol right here.
- Nice to meet you, too.
* When it's cold outside *
* And the wind starts to blow *
Excuse me.
Hey.
Hey. Did you see Will?
He jumped offstage after
his set and disappeared.
- No, but have you seen Erin?
- Who?
The girl who rode back from
Atlanta with us last night.
Why would she be here?
Don't worry about it.
Hey.
- There you are!
- Hey.
- I've been looking for you.
- Same here.
I wanted to say thank
you before I took off.
You're... you're going?
Yeah. Some friends and I
are headed to another bar...
sort of a "ladies' night out" thing.
Oh, yeah.
Uh... well, nice nice seeing you.
Let's, um, let's take
it from the top. Cool?
Hey.
Hey.
What's going on?
I heard the song.
I think I get it now.
Did you sing it for him already?
Daphne said she didn't want to.
* Well, angel, what's your name? *
* Baby, tell me where you came from *
* all the way from heaven,
that's a long way down *
* guess you found your sinner,
girl, I ain't a saint, no *
* but maybe you can save me now *
* Saint Theresa, you're
the reason I can change *
* you make me want to be a better man, baby *
* I got some skeletons in my yesterday *
* but, baby, I can give 'em all up *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* yeah, baby, I can give 'em all up *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* in the name of your love *
* yeah, baby, I can give 'em all up *
Where I come from,
the guy picks up the girl
on the way to the dance.
I bring good news.
Yeah?
I just received commitments
from all the remaining investors.
The Luke Wheeler Lifestyle
Brand is now fully funded.
You're serious.
Hey! All right!
Oh, I can't thank you enough.
Well... you were the
one who wowed everybody.
And, uh, thanks to Jeff,
that whole Juliette episode this morning
was a non-issue.
Well, I guess I ought
to give him a hug, too.
Actually, I was thinking of something else.
What's that?
The C.E.O. job.
I thought we already talked about that.
We did.
But now I'm asking you to reconsider.
Have you seen the news?
Yeah, I just...
There is something really wrong with her.
- I can tell.
- Yeah, I know. Me too.
Have you called her?
No.
But you're going to, right?
No. I'm not.
What do you mean? You're...
you're practically her father.
You're acting like you don't even care!
Of course I care!
Avery, it is breaking my heart
to watch this happen to her.
And I know it's breaking yours, too.
I know you're still in love with Juliette.
But it doesn't matter how
much you care about her
if she doesn't care about herself.
Look, I can't believe I'm saying this.
The best thing that you can do right now
is to just cut yourself off emotionally.
* In the name of your love *
* yeah, baby *
So?
Honestly...
- That was amazing.
- Yeah?
- That's what we were talking about!
- Ohh! Thank you.
That's what this record's gonna be.
Well, see, that's why I want you producing.
- You're still crazy.
- No.
Hey, and I got to thank
Maddie. Girl, you unlocked it.
Can we go home now?
In all the years I've had this bar,
Beverly's night was always my best.
Is that right?
She was a born performer.
- She was that.
- Yeah.
It's just too bad this is Natchez
and not Nashville.
Your mother used to come into my salon,
sit in my chair, and brag on
you till the moment she left.
About what?
Well, how you were out
on tour with Luke Wheeler
or opening for Rascal Flatts.
And then there was a clip of you
with some fella named
Gunnar on the Internet?
She must have played
it for me a dozen times.
Really?
You know, no one was
supposed to sing tonight,
but that was when nobody
knew you were coming.
Would you consider singing something?
Uh, do you think that would be appropriate?
Dear, I think it would be perfect.
Told you this would be fun.
Yeah, hanging out with a
bunch of stuffy, old people
instead of my girlfriend.
Time of my life.
You know what?
Why don't you try and
enjoy yourself a little bit?
I'll enjoy this.
- Hey, y'all.
- Hey.
You certainly went all-out.
Well, I got a lot to celebrate.
Uh, listen.
I know you were interested
in the C.E.O. position.
I also know I haven't
always trusted you, Jeff.
But today, you more than
proved your commitment to me.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
- I won't let you down.
- No, I know.
Have fun tonight.
Tomorrow, we start
talking about the future.
- All right.
- All right.
Huh? Mnh!
You did it!
- I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
Better call the movers.
Already did.
You all right?
Did you not see those girls
push that gay guy up front,
like he's the only one I can sing to?
They were just having fun.
That doesn't matter.
That's how they see me now.
So what am I looking at from here on out?
A lifetime of playing gay pride parades?
I think you're being a little dramatic.
No, I'm not.
My dream is dead.
What do you want me to say, Will?
Don't say anything.
Which is what I should have done.
I mean, if I hadn't opened my damn mouth
at that press conference,
none of this would even be happening.
I can't keep doing this with you.
We're done.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
And for those of you that I
haven't gotten to meet yet,
I'm Scarlett.
I'm Beverly's daughter.
I'd really like to sing one
of my mama's songs for you,
if that would be all right.
This is a song that she
closed all her shows with.
* The curtains will close *
* the lights will go dim *
* and I'll change my clothes
for the last time, my friend *
* gather my roses *
* swallow your tears *
* I may be leaving, but at least I was here *
* so goodbye, and thank you *
* it's my last curtain call *
* when you hear the applause,
hang my hat on the wall *
* but I'll never be far *
* I'm as close as the wind *
* so goodbye, and thank you *
* I'll see you again *
* so I'm closing my eyes *
* and I'll picture your face *
* this beautiful life did not go to waste *
* goodbye, and thank you *
* it's my last curtain call *
* I can hear the applause,
hang my hat on the wall *
* but I'll never be far *
* I'm as close as the wind *
* so goodbye, and thank you *
* I'll see you again *
Told you I knew where you lived.
I'm a little confused.
Why?
Well, this morning, you... you fled,
and then you accept my
invitation to the show,
only, you kind of blew me off,
and now you're here.
Sounds like you have a
pretty good handle on it.
Wait. What what is this?
Fun.
Hey, Maddie.
What?
Can I talk to you for a sec?
So, honey, did you see the difference
between what you sang today with Markus
and what you did with Juliette last night?
No.
Okay, well, what you did today
was your interpretation of his song.
It was from you. It was from your heart.
What you did last night was something else.
It was... not reflective of
you or who you want to be.
Whatever you say, Mom.
- Hey, one more thing.
- Hmm?
Daphne's been having a tough time.
I think she really wanted
to sing with you today.
How was I supposed to know that
she was gonna change her mind?
You weren't. You weren't. I'm just...
I just want you to be
aware so that you can try
to be more considerate of
her feelings... that's all.
Why should I care what you want
when you do not care what I want?
You know, all these years,
I thought mama resented me for my career.
'Cause I had something she
wanted so bad and never got.
Turns out she was proud of me.
She still is, too, sweetheart.
I know she was smiling
down from above tonight.
I'm gonna do that tour with Gunnar.
It's what she would have wanted for me.
So I'm gonna do it for her.
Well, good.
I'm glad you made me stay.
Me too.
Now I know how much she
meant to that place...
... how much it must have meant to her.
Sorry!
Hey! There you are. Haven't seen you.
Yeah, I've just been around,
having fun, like you said.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm just tired. I'm gonna go to bed.
Okay.
Amazing night.
Quite possibly the best ever.
What do you say we go celebrate alone?
Uh, I should probably stay
here for a little bit longer.
You go. I'll be down soon.
Okay. Take your time.
If I'm asleep when you
get in, just wake me.
_

Hey.
Hey, hold on a sec.
I'm not catching you too late, am I?
Never too late if you need to talk.
You all right?
Actually, yeah.
I'm... I'm pretty good.
So what's up?
Well, I've been thinking
about that bar of yours.
I know you've been having
some trouble keeping her going.
You're right about that.
Well, I think I might have
some ideas to help out
a little bit, and I, uh...
... I want to buy in.
You serious?
I am, yeah.
I was wondering if I could
make one request, though.
What's that?
That we rename the place.
How do you feel about...
"The Beverly"?
All right, thanks for coming, y'all.
Thank you for keeping your word.
Hey, you earned it.
What do you think, team? Time to call it?
I'd say it was a successful day.
Many more to come.
Hey, you coming?
I'm gonna take a minute.
All right. Suit yourself, C.E.O.
Well, I guess everything
worked out perfectly.
You really not gonna invite me in?
I told you...
there are lines I don't cross
when it comes to clients.
Fair enough.
You're fired.
Really?
After everything I've done for you?
Oh, it's just for tonight.
I plan on hiring you back
first thing in the morning.
Hello?
Hey, it's me.
Maddie?
Yeah. I took Daphne's phone.
Hey.
Nice to hear from you.
Are you okay? You sound weird.
Um...
Yeah... you mind if I
actually call you back?
Sure.
Okay.
Ugh.
I can't have her grow up
thinking that she can depend on her mother
when we both know that she can't.
I lost everything that
meant anything to me.
I'm just stuck being
stupid, screwed-up me!
... a one-time bang in a
broom closet, sweetheart.
You don't need to remind me
of the mistakes I've made.
No wonder Avery left you.
What a waste.
Juliette.
Don't do this.
Please.
No!
