Nashville (2012–2018): Season 5, Episode 7 - Hurricane - full transcript

Previously on "Nashville"...

I had the pleasure of getting
to know your daughter... Maddie.

I don't do the things
you're asking me to do.

I don't move the way
you're asking me to move.

You shown me what
I really look like in my own mind.

How'd you do that?

I didn't. You did.

If you will let me, I think
I can help Highway 65 flourish.

I want us to write our story.

You don't wanna do it?

Baby, I don't. It's been one
of the worst years of my life.



I don't much feel like
wading back into it.

Why don't you think about it?

Okay, I'll think about it.

What's that?

It's just something I'm trying.

I don't know if it's working
or not, though.

It's about our first kiss.

- I love that.
- Yeah?

Coming offstage at the Exit Inn?

Honey, our first kiss was not
coming offstage at the Exit Inn.

Our first kiss was in your car

when you drove me home
from Stewart Osborne's party.

Baby, our first kiss
was at the Exit Inn.

- I know it was.
- No. We did not kiss that night.



You were with Samantha Beasley.

Samantha Beeswax, remember?

Yeah, you might be right.

You wish you'd kissed me
that night at the Exit Inn.

These are the facts, honey.

The rest is just cheap whiskey.

That part's true.

Yes, that part's true. We know that.

Yes?

I have a Gene Buckholder here.

What's a Gene Buckholder?

All right. Yeah.

You can send him up. Thank you.

You remember when I told you that Zach

wanted to hire this guy
to video us writing this record?

No.

Hello, Gene. So nice to see you again.

Hi, Ms. Jaymes.
Hope this isn't a bad time.

Well, I'd like to think

I'd get a little more
advance notice, but...

Hey. Gene Buckholder.

Deacon Claybourne.

I met Gene last week at the office

and he's done some amazing work

and he seems like a nice fellow, so...

So you're gonna film us
while we're writing?

I promise I won't get in the way.

In fact, today I thought
I'd just get some establishing shots.

Yeah, and I think we're gonna
set some limitations, too.

We won't shoot anything in the bedroom,

and I think, you know,
the TV room should be off-limits.

And dinner and nothing
with the girls, of course.

So when will I film you?

Um... I don't know.

We can go to see
the music room right now.

Shall we show him the music room?

Let's show him the music room. Okay.

This way.

Do you ever wish you'd done something
completely different with your life?

You mean like become an astrophysicist?

No. What would you have done
if you couldn't do music?

Die.

- I envy you.
- Why?

Because you just know.

People like you are real lucky.

Music's the only thing
that makes me happy.

Yeah, but did you ever think
all this stuff was gonna happen?

Because I sure didn't.

You know, I'm just gonna
check the video once more.

Sure. Yeah.

- Whoa.
- What?

We got a million views!

Check it out.

My God. 3,000 more?

Sorry.

- Hello?
- Hello?

- No.
- Hi. Thank you.

- Yeah, it's wild, right?
- Thank you.

- Yeah, um...
- That sounds good.

It's NBC Nashville.

No. After Buzz Nashville
wants to put us on the cover.

Okay. Yeah, we could...

Absolutely.

Hang on. Tomorrow?

- Can we do it tomorrow?
- Yeah.

Yeah, we'll be there. Thank you.

Fantastic. All right.

- Okay, bye.
- All right. Bye.

Wow.

Yep. Wow.

This memorabilia is amazing.

Yeah.

That's so cool.

So this is the music room.

And I think that's
probably good for today.

Zach said that I should hang out

and like capture real life,
you know, as it happens.

Maybe you can get some
real life in the kitchen.

Yeah. I think we're
gonna get back to work.

So, um, you could shoot some B-roll
in the kitchen?

That'd be good. We got lots
of good appliances and whatnots.

Thanks, Gene. Thank you.

Are you kidding me?

Well, I thought it very conducive

to have a complete stranger
roaming around our home

filming everything we do.

Puts me in the mood
to write a beautiful song.

About Samantha Beasley.

Man, I'm not gonna
live that down ever.

No, you're not.

That girl was history
the minute I laid eyes on you.

That is so not... you strung her along

until she told you
you'd better fish or cut bait.

Perfect memory is overrated, all right?

I was a little bit of a mess back then.

This is true.

It was a good kiss in the car, though.

Well, you and that kiss was the first
good thing ever happened to me.

It wasn't all fairy tale
after that, that's for sure.

I know, but...

Gene!

I swear I couldn't hear anything.

It just was a really good
moment between you two...

Why don't I show you to the kitchen.
It is so easy to get lost in this house.

Zach, this is not gonna work.

This record is too important to us,

and we can't write it
if we've got some guy

breathing down our necks all the time.

- It's impossible.
- Look, Rayna, I hear you,

but this is the world we live in.

We can't just put out an album
and expect it to sell itself, okay?

We have to keep finding
new ways of promoting you.

Well, we are gonna
have to set some limits.

Rayna, your fans,
they're gonna eat this up.

Are you kidding me?
A behind-the-scenes video

of you two creating an album?
It's too good.

And you will have final approval

on every bit of it, I promise.

Well, just so you know,
I take promises seriously.

This is so awesome.

Yeah. No, he's great.

Sorry about all the mess.

No. It's fine. I love it here.

It's like all about the music.

It's you.

Yeah, I know.
The crazy part of me maybe.

The creative part.

Well, I should be getting
you home. It's late.

No. My parents go to sleep
at like 9:30 these days.

God, you still live with your parents?

Don't hold that against me.

Whatever you say.

Or I could stay if you want.

It's fine if you want
to be a little rebel

and piss your parents off.

You really think
that's what this is about?

Look, I'm not good at this.

I mean, it gets serious,
that's it. I'm gone.

It's what I do.

Then why are you here with me?

I don't want to fall for you.

You already have.

Deacon?

- You awake?
- No.

I can't stop thinking
about Maddie and Clay.

Honey, maybe
we'll get lucky, you know,

and it'll just burn itself out.

Do you really believe that?

- No.
- I mean, he's so much older

than she is. It's illegal.

Honey, I think you just need
to go sleep. Go to sleep.

You can't just order
a person to go to sleep.

That's not how it works.

I think I came up with an idea.

For what, honey?

What do you mean, for what?

For the first song on our record.

Is it 3 A.M.?

Once we decided we were gonna start,

I couldn't really stop thinking.

I'm sure it's a wonderful
idea, sweetheart.

Do you want to hear it? I'm afraid if
I don't tell, I'm gonna forget it.

I do want to hear it, honey.

I'm just thinking that maybe
we should just go ahead

and, you know, continue in the morning?

It used to be so easy for us to write.

I mean, we would literally
write a song in our sleep.

Nashville - 05x07 - Hurricane

I'm really excited
to be back in Nashville,

because I've told Hoda this.

I pretty much started my career here

doing a TV show called "Hee Haw Honeys."

I know. In 1977.

If they had TV in 1977.

Hi, everybody. Today
we are so incredibly thrilled

to welcome to our couch the Exes.

They are here. You guys have dropped

- a terrific new music video.
- Sure have.

- It's called "All of Me."
- "All of Me."

And can I tell you something?

- The internet is exploding.
- It sure is.

So how excited are you guys?

We're so excited.

- We're kind of blown away.
- You must be.

- It's over a million views already.
- Yeah.

But I gotta say, it's really
a bit of a departure for the two of you

to do a video like this, isn't it?

- It is. You know, we...
- It was a departure for me, too,

and I think Scarlett
was a real revelation.

She took it to the next level.

Yeah, Scarlett,
what was that like for you,

I mean, revealing so much of yourself?

Well, I had to try and understand
the person I was playing

and find a part of me
that could relate to her.

Don't let her fool you.

- I tortured her, basically.
- He did.

Scarlett, when you
were doing this video,

did you feel like
something inside you changed?

You know what? I guess so.

I'm still trying to figure that out.

Well, all right. Let's all
take a look, shall we?

Ladies and gentlemen, here it is.

- "All of Me."
- "All of Me."

I can't wait to get all this makeup off.

What the hell was that?

What was what?

You two sure got on like a house
on fire after your little hatefest.

- That was fun.
- Yeah.

Listen, I've got to bolt,
but, hey, let's celebrate.

Dinner tonight? The three of us?

- I can't. Sorry.
- Can't.

I promised Avery
I'd finish a song with him.

But I'm sure Scarlett can.

Hey, you guys figure it out.
I'll call you.

You should go. Be rude not to.

What if I don't want to?

Then don't.

Do you want me to go?

I don't care.
You can do whatever you want.

All right. So we're writing about love

and we're writing about marriage.

They say love is a story

and marriage is a conversation.

How you doing over there, Gene?

I'm okay.

You know you can head on out any time.

Nope.

Well, this is something.

This comes out of... I been thinking

about all that time we spent apart,

and somehow it always felt...

like you were there with me.

Like, I mean, I just have a little here.

It's real pretty.

So you felt like.

I was there with you even when I wasn't.

Yeah, kind of.

- I'm late.
- No, no. I'm early. Sit.

Thank you.

It's too bad Gunnar couldn't join us.

I thought we could celebrate the
fact that we're still speaking.

But first, I owe you an apology.

I was on a mission. I admit it.

And I'm sure it felt like I pushed
you way too hard sometimes.

Go on.

Okay, I was a jerk. How's that?

Give me a break here.

You can pick up your glass any time now.

Do you want me to grovel?

It would be a start.

Jeez, you are tough.

And you were just doing your job.

We struck gold, Scarlett.

Maybe.

What do you got there?

Well, I'm reading something that
I wrote in the middle of the night.

And now of course
I can't read my handwriting.

Tell me more about this idea.

Well, I was thinking
about being homesick

for a place you've never been before.

- I like that.
- You do?

Yeah. What do you got?

All right. So this goes...

This is like you know the place,
but you can't get back there.

No, it's kind of like
we were saying earlier

that thing about
when somebody's not there,

but you feel like they're there.

And you're saying like...

- maybe the two of them could go together.
- I know, but that was your experience.

But that was just not...

I mean, you know, for me,
it was just a catastrophe.

That's fair enough.

So what do you got more on this?

I mean, here I said,

why do people always...

why do people always look for happiness
right where they lost it?

Well, is that a good thing
or is it a bad thing?

It's just a thing, 'cause I spent
so many years doing that.

Deacon! My printer ran out of ink,
and I need to print my report.

I'm coming, sweetie.

I'll be right back.

If I could just... If I could just...

Just, please, just the kiss.

- It would be so great.
- No, we're not just gonna kiss

- for the camera.
- Come on. Give me a kiss.

No, no.

Bye, Gene. Bye.

It wasn't even a town really.

It was a farm at the end of a dirt road

with a rural delivery address.

But it was my whole world.

Well, until I took
my first airplane ride.

And I looked down
and I saw Natchez, Mississippi,

my whole life really,

and it fit between these two fingers.

No wonder doing the video scared you.

You scared me.

Maybe you scared yourself.

I just know I saw something in you,

something raw and real.

Well, I hope it was a good
thing, whatever you saw.

It was.

Well, I'm a hero.

Needed an ink cartridge
and I know where they are.

You get this thing figured out yet?

It's going nowhere.

Well, let's turn it around.

I think I need to take a break.

No. Come on, baby.

You're just talking to me
about you not...

No, I need to stop.

Come on, sweetheart.
I'm trying to work this out.

Well, we can't.

All right, damn it!

What?

Let's get the hell out of here.

Where do you wanna go?

You'll see.

Bye, girls. We're going out for a while.

Honey. Where are we going?

Yeah, I don't know.

Remember we used to just waltz
out the door without a plan?

Honey, we haven't waltzed
anywhere in 15 years.

- Are you kidding me?
- What?

He's following us.

Gene, you are so fired!

Here we go, baby.

Hang on!

Babe, what are you doing?

- I think you lost him.
- I think I did.

Now I'm gonna take you
on a date... alone.

Focus, focus, focus.

Don't miss it.

Nice.

Your turn, baby. You got this.

- All right.
- Yep.

Put a little English on it.

- No!
- There you go!

- This is gonna be good!
- Yeah. Yeah.

That's not bad. You don't like that one?

- I got a couple I gotta deal with.
- Would you like...

Would you like me to help?
I'm gonna help you on this one.

- No.
- Yeah, I am.

I don't need your help. I can get this.

- Blast those pins all by myself.
- It is all about the angle, okay?

Is that right?

I have a feeling you're just
trying to make me nervous.

That's possible. You put it
right in that pocket, okay?

What are you doing?

You cannot tickle me!

You made me lose.

Well, it's better than mine.

Okay, Daph, tell me about this boy.

- Well, his name is Flynn.
- Okay.

He has this cute crooked smile,

but he doesn't really say much.

Do you think he likes you?

We're in the very beginning stages
of our relationship, so...

Well, the thing about boys
is they are completely clueless.

What do you mean?

It's like half the time
they aren't even awake.

This cake is gonna be in there
for like an hour.

Okay.

I have a Clay Carter here.

- Says he's here to see Maddie?
- Clay?

Yeah, he's just coming to say hey.

He can come in.

Okay. Daphne, you cannot hang around us
the entire night, though. Seriously.

Hey, I'm Clay.

I'm Daphne. Nice to meet you.

Thanks for letting me come over.

Of course.

Okay, Daphne, do not forget
to take this cake out.

We're just gonna be hanging out
upstairs, okay?

Okay. Can we play cards later?

I would love that. What's your game?

Gin.

I'm gonna decimate you.

You just wanted to quit
because I was winning.

It's nice just being us for a change.

Why don't we get a room?

- Are you serious?
- I'm dead serious.

- I want to spend time alone with you.
- So tempting.

Hold on.

It's Security. Hold on.

Hello?

- Ms. Jaymes?
- Yes?

There's a fire alarm
going off in your residence

- in the kitchen area.
- My God.

We called the house,
but no one responded.

Okay.

Can you give us your pass code?

- What's our pass code?
- I-I don't know.

I can't think.

I don't think we know our pass code.

- That's all right.
- You know what?

We're just gonna go home
right now, okay?

- Thank you.
- All right, ma'am.

- Why didn't Maddie call?
- Look, let's just go.

Is everything okay?

Don't worry. Everything
is under control, ma'am.

No fire, just smoke.

- Okay. Thank you so much.
- Thank you very much.

You got quite a little cook
there at home.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi.

So you were baking something?

Yep, and Clay was just heading out.

Nice to see you again.

Yeah.

I hope you guys had fun tonight.

We did... until our fire alarm went off.

- Where's your sister?
- Upstairs.

I want to talk to you for a second.

Come on. Everyone's fine.
The cake burned. Nobody died.

Where exactly were you
when the cake burned?

So this is a little awkward,

but I am actually a huge fan
of yours, Mr. Claybourne.

- Really?
- Don't worry, Mom.

It's not like anyone has
any privacy in this house ever.

The point is, your sister is here.
It's confusing to her.

Yeah. I saw this show
you did outside of Memphis.

Amazing. Really tight band, too.

That drummer, Donny...

McAllister, yeah.

How long ago was that?

This has got to be
about eight years ago.

There is no situation.

You don't know
the first thing about Clay

or what he's really like.

We'll talk about this later.

No, we won't.

Yes, we will, young lady.
My house, my rules.

My life.

Bye, Mrs. Jaymes. Bye, Maddie.

Bye, Clay. Lovely to see you.

Hey! What a great surprise!

I can come back later
if you're busy.

No, no. Come sit. I was gonna
call you today anyway.

- Two million hits?
- Yeah.

- That's incredible.
- It's crazy.

Well, it is. I am so proud of you.

I know it was not as easy as it looked.

Yeah. Not even close, no.

We'll have to get y'all
on a tour pronto.

Yeah. It's exciting. But how are you?

How's writing with Deacon?
I haven't seen you.

It's interesting.

Just trying to get on
the same page a little bit.

Yeah, I can relate to that.

How are you and Gunnar?

Um... hanging on, sort of, barelyish.

I'm sorry. I thought y'all
had gotten to a good place.

So did I. Then this director...

- Damien?
- Yeah.

I was so busy hating on him,

I didn't realize I was learning
things from him about myself.

And Gunnar's intensity right now
is a little difficult to deal with.

Nothing like being in
a relationship with an artist.

Two artists together? Lord help you.

Yeah, all we seem to do
is hurt each other,

and I'm starting to wonder

is that just the way
it's supposed to be or...

Well, I don't know.

I think no relationship
is ever one thing.

You start out
with this great connection,

and then next thing you know, it's gone.

Yeah. You like ever get it right again?

Yeah. Yeah.

If you're lucky, lots of times.

I remember the day that
Deacon and I were together.

We were at his lake house in the woods.

It was a beautiful misty day,

and we just had this huge fight.

I don't remember what it was about.

And I got so mad I just
decided I'm walking away.

I'm done. I'm out of here.

But as I walked away,
I remember thinking to myself,

but if he comes after me
right now and he gets me,

then I'll be with him forever.

And he did?

Well, it took him about
20 years, but eventually.

Like I said, I'm not
an expert in this matter.

I guess nobody got it easy.

That's for sure.

We meet again.

Hi.

I was just going
to say goodbye to Rayna.

- So you're off then?
- Yeah. I leave tonight.

Where to?

Barcelona, film festival,
and then on to New York.

I'm doing a commercial.

Wow. Well, safe travels.

Yeah.

Actually, no. I want to
thank you for everything.

Still ever so formal.

Yeah, that's me, I guess.

Scarlett, prepare yourself.

I don't think you know how much
your world is about to change.

Yeah. I can't even
go there right now, nope.

Well, just promise me you'll stay open.

I think all kinds of wonderful things
are gonna start happening for you.

Thanks.

Don't thank me. I didn't do anything.

You did it.

Goodbye, Scarlett.

Bye.

Okay, rolling.

So, Daphne, what is it like

having your Mom and Dad
work on an album together?

Not fun.

Why not?

It looks hard being married
and working together.

It looks like quite the challenge,

artistically, I mean.

Everyone has their own vision,

but they do it better
than anyone else can

because they really do love each other,

even though sometimes
it seems like they don't.

What's that like when it
doesn't seem like it's working?

What's that like?

I don't...

Can we cut here?

It was a good idea coming
up here for inspiration.

Yeah. Did you get any yet?

- No.
- Me, neither.

It used to be so easy for us
to write together.

- It was so easy.
- What happened?

I don't know.

You think maybe
it's 'cause we got married

and domesticated each other
or something?

No. I mean, day-to-day,

it can take something out of you.

But something's changed.

Clearly we're not able to just
get down to it like we used to.

Yeah.

Maybe we just need to go off
on our own for a little bit.

Just write individually,
come back, see what we got.

You want to write
a duet album individually?

It couldn't hurt, you know.

- I mean, look where we are here.
- Honey, you're so good at this.

I'm so good at what, Rayna?

- Quitting.
- I'm not quitting.

I didn't say anything
about quitting, all right?

- That's not fair because...
- When things get real, you get gone.

My...

Is that really where you are right now?

Is that where you are?

How far back do you wanna go?
You wanna go back to Maddie?

You wanna go back to the drinking?

- You wanna go back to our bad parents?
- I don't wanna go back to all of it.

I don't wanna be afraid of it.

I don't wanna be afraid of who we are.

You know, I wanna be
able to touch our pain

- without having to hurt each other.
- Yeah, well, clearly we can't, you know.

And by the way, I said that
from the very beginning.

- I didn't wanna do this for exactly...
- Now you're yelling.

I'm not...

I don't mean to yell.

I just don't wanna do this.

I don't wanna do this either.

I don't wanna have to go back

into our patterns
and our drama and our...

And I sure as hell don't wanna lose us.

So you tell me, Rayna.

What do we do?

How do we do this?

I don't know.

Where's the sugar?

Thanks.

So here we have it,
ladies and gentlemen.

We note a new development at
the Jaymes/Claybourne household.

Our parents are no longer speaking.

- We're speaking.
- We're speaking.

No.

Gene?

You wanna stay in tonight?

Avery's heading over to Juliette's.

Yeah, sure.

So you didn't tell me how your
dinner date went with Damien.

It was fun.

Fun?

That's a good word. It's descriptive.

Well, it was dinner.

You okay?

Gunnar, I gotta tell you something,

and I don't want you to react.

At all? Sounds impossible, but, okay.

I felt something for Damien.

I don't know what it was, but...

That's not exactly
breaking news, Scarlett.

The question is, what
are you gonna do about it?

What do you mean?
Nothing. He's gone.

Right. So because he's gone,

that means nothing's
gonna happen now, right?

No, of course not.

This whole thing's been
really confusing for me,

and whatever it was about,

it's over. Really.

So you thought you felt something,

but now it's over
and I'm supposed to believe that.

Yes.

I'm being honest with you.

I know, but how do you
expect me to react?

I mean, I can't do this right now.

- Hey.
- Hey.

My God.

I remember when you could never
fall asleep without this doll.

It was yours,

and you cut off all of her hair
and then gave it to me.

She does look pretty lame.

Sorry about that.

So, um...

Mom said I upset you
by bringing Clay over.

Why would I be upset?

Well, I don't know.

I just don't want you to
feel confused, that's all.

And why would I be confused?

Because, you know, Clay and I,
we're older and we...

Does it hurt?

Does what hurt?

Being in love.

Sometimes.

Yeah, I thought so.

It kind of looks that way.

Really? Is it that obvious?

Yeah. I mean,
it just seems to make everyone

act a little bit crazy.

I mean, maybe just around here.

It's kind of hard to describe.

Try me.

Well, it feels like...

like you've sewn someone else's
skin on top of yours,

and you can never take it off

without feeling like you've
just been ripped apart.

You hardly slept.

That's okay.

Honey, I thought it was gonna be easy

for us to write our story.

It wasn't easy to live it.

Why should it be easy to tell it?

And, you know, I think maybe

everything happened
the way it needed to for us.

Yeah.

Maybe if we'd gotten together
back then, we'd have...

thrown each other away by now.

All I know is I'm here...

right now,

and I'm not going anywhere ever.

Don't you dare.

You're my favorite hurricane.

I wrote something for you last night.

That's funny. I wrote
something for you last night.

You did?

- Yeah.
- What'd you write?

- Well, I wanna hear yours first.
- No, no. I wanna hear yours first.

Well, I just have lyrics.
I don't really have music.

Well, come on, let's hear 'em.

Um, all right.

What do you got?

Okay.

I never questioned, not even once

all of the twists and turns
and tumbles of our love...

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

My God, Rayna.

What?

Watch this.

It fits what I wrote perfectly.

This is crazy.

- Then go to the fourth again.
- Okay, but wait, wait, wait.

"You were on the tip of my tongue."

- Yeah, um... Let's do it again.
- I like that, but then...

In your...

In your eyes.

- In your eyes... there were...
- You used "in your eyes" already.

Let's use it again.

In your heart?

- In your heart, that's okay.
- In your heart. In your mind?

- All right, all right. Um...
- In your hair.

Why can't just say,

all this time I waited...

I want it to really feel honest.

I know, and it's about me
at that point anyway, right?

Well, I'm trying to say
that I had a part in it, too.

In the wind, you were on
the tip of my tongue.

Like a kiss on my cheek.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

My shadow. All along my shadow.

All along my shadow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

How about here?

I don't care. I'm not hungry.

My god. That's really her.

You didn't have to come
with me, you know.

- Excuse me, Scarlett.
- Yeah?

- Could you sign this?
- Sure.

I just loved your video.

Thank you. That's so kind of you.

Here you go.

- Sure nice to meet you.
- Thanks.

Bye.

Let's just go here.

Are you just not gonna
speak to me at all?

What do you want?

What do you want?

Will you be having drinks?

- No, thank you.
- Yeah.

Look, I'm not the one having
second thoughts about us.

I'm sorry.
That's kind of unbelievable

considering all the crap
you've put me through.

And I tell you one thing,
the moment it happens, and you...

Okay. I'm sorry.
Maybe it hurt to hear it, Scarlett.

Okay, I need you to grow up.

I'm with you.

Does that mean anything to you?
