We open with Juliette being queen bee of the studio. She’s force-marching her band thru take after take of a song they already have nailed. The consensus between Deacon, the publicist (damn, I really need to find out her name if she’s going to be a recurring character!) and Goodman is that Juliette is avoiding going home because she don’t wanna see her mama.

I really like how she’s in control in the studio. I also love that she acknowledges that her band is tired but hell, she’s payin’ ‘em isn’t she? Capitalism works, folks.
Rayna is getting ready to start shooting some commercial. She’s admiring herself in the mirror as Bucky tries to sell her on putting out a Greatest Hits album. Rayna is NOT into it. She’ll put out a compilation when she’s 70.
 

This dress is almost beautiful but somehow the knots at the shouders and the ruffles down the front make it look cheap. And I highly doubt that dress comes from Dress Barn. The colour of it is amazing and I do love a swishy skirt.

Teddy and Rayna share a phone convo and it nicely highlights that they really are a team. Each supports and encourages the other. Shame about all the secret keeping…they really do have a foundation of love between them.
 

Connie, you have an amazing face. You are beautiful and I love the eye makeup. Just…the frosted pink lippy…it reminds me of this:
 


I pulled this pic off Dlisted. And folks, ifyou’ve never been – you MUST. I’ve laughed until I’ve cried more times than I care to count from reading Michael K’s nuggets of hilarity.

Teddy and Peggy have a tete-a-tete in some parking garage. Peggy is freaking out. She, surprisingly, doesn’t want to go to prison. As opposed to the millions of others who are waiting for their names to come up to the top of the Prison Waiting List. Dumb bitch! You don’t want to go to prison? Don’t break the law. Easy peasy. Two simple steps to success.
 

 The Federal auditors are harassing Peggy for a sitdown so they can go over her books and accounts. She finally reveals what the BIG SECRET is.

“Teddy, we borrowed over two million dollars.”
“Yeah, and returned every penny of it.”
“Doesn’t matter. It’s still embezzlement. If we both go to the Feds now, before they find anything, there is a good chance they will cut us a deal.”

AHAHAHHAHAAA. If you think I spent years on the sidelines, raising my kids while my wife made moony eyes on stage at her drug-addict ex lover (possible babydaddy) only to beg the Feds for some kind of pity deal, you are out of your gorgeous head. Let me get my reptilian overlord on this, stat.

    I am so impressed with the writing/acting/directing in this show. And I’m equally impressed with how you capture so many of the nuances in your recap as well.

    The one who surprises me the most is Hayden Panetiere. I find that her scenes that show her character’s vulnerability, especially the ones with her mother, just floor me and I feel for Juliette like she’s a real person. Took me a second after that slap to remember that it was fictional and she was just acting!

    I agree with you that Rayna was dishonest in how she dealt with Deacon’s call, but Deacon was falling into old habits and never should have called Rayna in the first place. But I’m guessing that the point they were making in this episode — especially with the whole letting go, theme –was that his addiction to drugs is mirrored in his addiction to Rayna. Maybe he’ll finally get some rehab to get over that.

    And I’m glad Scarlett finally showed some spine in this episode (ok she did in the last one too), but she’s gone from being one of my favourite characters to the one I like the least. I know she and Gunnar will eventually hook up, but I wish it could be him and Hailey as the destined couple instead. Hailey is so cool and Scarlett is just so annoying and wimpy. But of course we know how things will go eventually.

    Still — I’m loving this show. I never would have watched if not for these recaps, so thanks for that too!

    I so disagree with you about rayna and deacon. It was SO OBVIOUS; he didn’t want her to use the song because she finally got rid of him. He just wanted to hurt her OR wanted her attention. For the past couple of weeks YOU have basically been saying rayna has deacon on a string and won’t let him go, last week she finally lets him go but you still think she is wrong. I think she was right not to bail deacon out of jail and she didn’t tell teddy it was deacon because it wasn’t important, she finally got him out of her life, why bring him up? Now if she had gone to bail him out and lied to teddy about it, I would understand your point. I don’t understand why you never give her the benefit of the doubt.

    So I am only half way through the recap, but I just have to say that I cracked with your caption of teddy and his reptilian overlord being Lamar, awesome. So is it just me or does anyone find the sound of Scarlett’s voice (talking voice not singing voice) annoying?

    Love, love, love this show. Several thoughts:

    - Having dealt with addiction in my family, and, somehow, addicts often end up in jail, Teddy’s failure to take Deacon’s call does not surprise me. I am sure there have been several such calls before, and that is a line in the sand. I have a certain family member who I have told, call everyone else, don’t waste your time on calling me the next time you get arrested.

    - While I don’t particularly like how Avery is acting, I do understand it. His world had turned upside down, and the reality is that Scarlett has changed her goals in life, and he hasn’t. You can be mad at him if you want for the relationship being as one-sided as it was, but the reality is that that was the relationship that Scarlett signed up for, too. I think that it is fair to give him more than half a second to adjust to this new reality, and I think his reaction is very realistic. And, I think in his own way, he is trying. That being said, I have no doubt that Scarlett will end up with Gunnar.

    - Absolutely positive that it was Lamar/Overlord having the pictures taken. He has been waiting all along to have something to use on Teddy, and now he has it. Teddy will win the election, and then he will have to do whatever Lamar wants becasue otherwise Lamar will leak the embezzlement, and the pics with Mrs. Paisley.
