Deacon and Juliette decompress after dropping CrackMom off at rehab. I really like how Deacon acknowledges that CrackMom’s smack was abusive. Juliette admits that it happened “once in awhile.” Which probably means whenever CrackMom got high and Juliette was in the way. I really like how he didn’t try to make excuses for the behaviour, which Juliette has probably been doing for her whole life, he just simply says it was abuse. I really like these two together in this episode.
Deacon puts a comforting hand on Juliette’s arm and she leans in for a kiss. Deacon pulls back and Juliette says she just wanted to say thank you. And it breaks my heart all over again for Juliette, that she thinks physical affection is the only way to properly say thank you. She really did have to make her own way in the world. She’s gotta be hella smart to have made her way from some cracked out trailer to world-wide fame. Juliette, I love you!
Deacon tells her she needs to put all her problems with her mom, her music, her image, all that nonsense in her “rearview mirror”. Methinks I smell a song in a future episode.
Now Scarlett does something that makes me want to shout at the TV. She goes off on some big spiel about how she’s with Avery and yadayada. It would have made sense if Gunnar had made a move on her or said something like “I love you.” But he didn’t . In fact, he went out and got himself his own relationship that is working out just fine. So Scarlett’s big declaration of love for Avery just felt a bit weird and forced here. Like…maybe…she’s just trying to convince herself?
Yeeeah, even though you’ve been only nice and kind and friendly to me, I just want to kick your teeth in a little bit and remind you incessantly that Avery is the only man with access to my vagine. Is that clear yet? Yes? We’ll let me belabour the point just a little bit more so I can sound completely up my own ass.
What makes this scene delicious is that immediately after this little speech, Gunnar gets a text from Hailey! You, know, his girlfriend. Hee!
Teddy comes home, looking careworn, at 2:30am. Rayna’s tucked up in her home clothes, on the couch, writing a song. Teddy, loaded down with secrets of his own, is almost out the door when he asks Rayna about Deacon.
What really happened between the two of you? Why did you cancel the tour? Did you sleep with him?
When Rayna denies, he goes in the for the kill. “Did you want to?”
And he gets this face in response.:

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.
Man if Juliette does not want her furniture I will take it. I loved how her house was decorated. I can febreze the crack mom out of it. Its still good its still good!
