Nashville Recap: There’ll Be No TearDrops Tonight

Now listen, I do not want to slut-shame any woman but c’mon Scarlett!  You are sharing your digs with some creepy ex-con you don’t know at all.  You really want to be running around in your frilly undies and thigh-highs?  Sidenote: If it were just Scarlett and Gunnar, I would be drooling all over this outfit because it’s perfect for Scarlett.  A little bit unfashiony and hillbilly but also kind of sexy.  It’s just the timing of the deployment I question and quibble.

For some reason, this face always cracks me up.  This is my third viewing and it makes me tingle with mean delight.  Not sure why.

So they all jam together and because Scarlet is fucking stupid, she thinks just because he can play the guitar and harmonize on cue, he must be a good guy.  And she lets him stay for a few days longer.  So. Fucking. Stupid.

Scene changes to Teddy and Rayna’s McMansion.  It’s time for mommy and daddy to come out as the miserable couple they truly are.  It kind of looks like the kids are getting the incredibly awkward and white-bread Let’s Talk About Sex talk, doesn’t it, Gasmi?

But no, it’s actually incredibly sad.

Avery finally got his mo’ money. 

Am I the only one who thought he looked a little bit disappointed when he looked around at the motel village in which he’d been living?  Like he was getting away from the “authenticity” he needed to be a true “artist”.

See?  No smile.  No satisfaction.  Just a look of “What have I done?”

Juliette invites potentially rehabbed CrackMom to come live with her when she gets out of her treatment center.

White Power Billy (not saying he is all white power creepy, just that he looks like he was bought and sold a couple times by the wp’ers in the clink) is changing from one grungy t-shirt to another one and the camera lovingly pans down to the gun very poorly hidden in his bag.  Dun-dun-dun.  Least surprising reveal EVER.

Maddie finds Rayna and tells her Teddy has been talking to Peggy and that is why suddenly their family is breaking up.

Rayna, if you do not set this child straight and tell her the marriage breakup is as much your fault as Teddy’s, we are done, professionally.
