Scarlett is moping around the apartment when Avery comes home. Avery gives her some very good advice about counting her blessings and accepting that it was a huge accomplishment to simply record with Watty White, nevermind if anyone actually wants to offer her a publishing deal. Avery is really growing on me this episode.
Doesn’t hurt that he’s pretty smokin’ hot. In a greasy, scary sort of way. Gunnar interrupts their sexytimes to tell them they got the publishing deal. Scarlett shoves Gunnar out of the way to tackle Avery with glee. 
Wah-wah for Gunnar. And it makes her later behaviour with Flirtypants PA unacceptable.
Teddy and Rayna discuss the country club fundraiser and there is tension. I can totally see Teddy’s point of view. He wants to keep pretty quiet about his campaign because it consists of everything that sets Rayna off: the Richie-riches country-club set, Lamar, politics, gladhanding. It’s kind of noble of him, in a way. Also, I think his modus operandi is to hide things and be secretive, so it’s authentic to his character that he doesn’t open up to Rayna about the campaign.
Am I being persnickety in thinking that grey polish just looks trashy?
Juliette yoga-preens in front of her publicist, manager and PA. She clearly isn’t taking the shoplifting escandalo seriously. And honestly, why are they? It’s shoplifting for heaven’s sake! It’s not drunk-driving, snorting meth, running over a hobo or anything that is actually serious. Yes, it’s a crime and it’s terrible but it’s pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things. It’s definitely not a Red Alert situation. Aren’t there more important things for us to be scandalized by? For us to be interested in? An election, a devastating hurricane, a global recession, the gradual erosion of human rights? I’m as guilty as the next person in my addiction to gossip blogs and infotainment but I also enjoy real news and follow events that actually have an impact on our future. And some celebutart caught stealing (or whatever) just shouldn’t be that newsworthy.
Off of my soapbox and over to Bucky…he’s calling up Deacon to fill him in on the gig at the country club. Now, this is a truly terrible idea. On par with Goodman having CrackMom move in with Juliette. What is wrong with these managers? Why don’t they ever have GOOD ideas???? It’s one thing for exlover to be in Rayna’s band and record and tour with her. Performing at a political fundraiser for her husband is in an entirely different class of suckass ideas. The mystery is why no one actually said hey, this idea truly sucks, only bad things can come of it, it will make people talk. If people are gossiping about some stupid shoplifting incident, what would the chattering classes make of Rayna and her ex singing up a storm for her husband? I just can’t think of enough words to truly describe what a terrible idea this is.

Thanks for recapping this show! I too was blown away by the first episode, but then have just become a little not as blown away (still good though). Wasn’t there an earlier allusion that one of Rayna’s kids might be Deacon’s, and no one knows…?
Also thanks for enlightening me about the Deacon/Teddy tenseness. I know he is her ex, but since he’s still in the band, thought people had accepted and moved on..I thought the tenseness was about Coleman being his friend and he doesn’t back Teddy.
When this episode began with Rayna/Deacon in bed, I thought it was real and I had missed the prior week’s episode.
Hubby and I talked about this and said You know beautiful famous people are EASILY forgiven. All she had to do was show remorse. If she got on tv and cried and said her mom is a crackwhore and its so hard boo hoo hoo, everyone would love her all the more for it. She really chose the wrong tactic. Maybe I should be her publicist too.
I actually was in love with the dress Rayna was wearing to sing at the country club. It was so Marilyn Monroe. I show a lot of skin too though so it didn’t bother me. If you got it flaunt it!
Agree re the gray polish (although it looked blue on my screen)– looks cute on my sixteen year old and her friends, but on Rayna and women her age (me) — not so much.
While I rarely post anything, I guess it is because I have a completely different take on this show and the relationships.
I don’t blame Rayna for all the hurt that has fallen out from their relationship. If anything, I would say that the majority of the hurt is due to Deacon hurting himself, as addicts often do. Rayna left the relationship because of Deacon’s substance abuse, it hasn’t been shown if she was enabling him or not, but at the very least their relationship was destructive to some level for both of them. Her decisions have been clear and upfront, as far as the show has shown us so far. She left, he chose to stay in the band, yes she also consented. But he is the one that was willing to sit through the pain everyday of watching her be with her husband. I have never seen any gleam of her liking to “string” him along, if anything I have seen pain from her. He’s her best friend (it should be her husband, but it’s not) and seeing him hurt and also hurting from them not being together hurts everyone around. Should she have just ended the whole sham a long time ago? Yes, but why is it just up to her. He should have left too. Teddy should have asked for it earlier.
Also, Darius Rucker is of Hootie and the Blowfish fame and then went on to make solo country albums, but apparently gets very pissed if people call him Hootie.
@Peanut29 – I agree with you about Deacon — he has choices. But Rayna pretty much admitted that she wanted to have her cake and eat it too — to hold on to Deacon but keep him at arms length while she keeps the image of a good wife and mother (in the scene after they sang together at the Bluebird). She basically admitted that she messed up and that she should have let him go a long time ago. I actually see her as being the most selfish out of the whole bunch, and I think she knows that. That’s why she can’t stand the thought of Deacon going off with Juliette. You can be sure that when she finds out that they are sleeping together that she’s going to get all jealous and possessive.
At the same time, Deacon is a grown man and he could have walked away. But I wonder how easy it would have been for him to find a gig in another band after rehab, but I don’t know. I think Rayna makes up for her father’s neglect by holding on to two men in her life who will basically put up with anything to stay in her orbit.
