Teddy tells Rayna the truth and she tells him she can’t trust him anymore. And sing it sister – you are right, Teddy didn’t do the Cumberland deal for his family, it was all for himself, to make himself feel more masculine and successful.

Deacon and Juliette start off having a pleasant, friendly chat but it all goes to shit when he brings up CrackMom. Juliette, smarting from MotherTebow’s dismissal of her as any sort of option for her son, lashes out. She tells Deacon exactly what it was like for her growing up with CrackMom (and I don’t think she even scratched the surface of how scary it must be growing up with an addict for a parent) and then tells him he’s foolish for not jumping at the chance to go on tour with the Revel Kings (again, Gasmi, real band or no? I mean, I could wiki it but my baby’s diaper needs changing). She delivers the coup de grace by slamming the door in his face. Poor Juliette is hurting. I was kinda hoping instead of slamming that door shut, she instead slammed her body up against Deacon’s. I really do like the two of them together.

And now, a little something from the Hillbilly Hooker catalogue…

What. The. Fuck is she wearing? The costume designers are just messing with us, yeah?

Wyclef presents Avery with a choice: stick with his band and go nowhere or ditch them and start making some inroads into fame and fortune. Part of me is wondering if Wyclef is messing with Avery, testing his loyalty. Another part of me just thinks he’s a skeezer.

Rayna and Deacon meet up for a friendly chat. Connie Britton has an amazing face. Look how gorgeous she looks with her hair pulled back:

That is what I want my 40s to look like.

Teddy holds a press conference to give his side of the photo escandalo. Rayna slurks in late and makes a right-pretty speech about how Teddy loves her and their family and he’s not a cheater and vote for him because I’m a big star.

That’s a happy, relaxed and in love couple, eh?  Teddy looks like he`s been dipped in wax

Awwwwwwwkkkkkward:
Gunnar and Scarlett’s song Fade Into You has been put “On Hold” which is apparently a big deal so they get champage. Scarlett’s practically bathing in champers this epi. It’s handed out by Hailey who’s trying to look professional while obviously feeling pretty shitty. Love her and her professionalism. Scarlett’s all a-tremble with her excitement and nervousness and general cornponitude. Gunnar, please fuck some of that twitchiness out of her immediately, if not sooner. Thank you.

 Gunnar: Couldn`t agree more, SourCake!

Deacon agrees to go on tour with the Revel Kings. They cheers to “Sex, No Drugs and Rock-n-Roll”

    Apropos of nothing but Hayden has weird baby-sized hands…maybe that is why Tebow likes her. HJs make his doodle look huge. Yes I used the word “doodle” I have a toddler at home. Thanks for recapping SC, I’m loving this show!

    Great recap! I missed the show and after reading your recap I feel caught up. Love this show! I do like your Hailey/Avery idea!

    I haven’t seen this episode yet, so I’ll have to reserve judgement on whether it will make me like Scarlett again. I love Hailey’s character and I think she’s better for Gunnar than the damsel-in-distress-on-a-pedestal fantasy that Gunnar has of Scarlet, but I can accept it if they start to seriously toughen Scarlett up. If she simply replaces Avery with Gunnar (i.e., if she simply hand the reins to a more benevolent puppet master) then I want their storyline over as soon as possible!

    Oh, and not to be a party pooper (although I feel like one) but I hate the Hailey/Avery idea. She deserves waaaay better than that!

    Thanks for The Kids in The Hall reference!

    Loving everything about this show except for Scarlett. Her reaction to all things is tired ol damsel in distress and boring. I hope Hailey’s character gets another story line so we continue to see her.

    Oh and the Avery plotline was sooooooooooo obviously going to happen. Every time someone is in a band on TV they get a chance to make it big, but only if they screw over their friends. Saved By the Bell totally did this plotline with the Zack Attack 20 years ago. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take someone getting into a freak motorcycle accident to get the gang back together :p

    Cornponitude…you might want to trademark that…

    loved the Cheerwine product placement (its the cherry soda pop that the Revel Kings and Deacon were drinking (its obviously not wine))– of course, my 12 year old son, who was passing by the TV pointed it out–he just loves it, and it’s really hard to find in New York (we found it while vacationing in the Outer Banks, NC). We actually found it on Sunday at Fairway (the only other places we had found it were BBQ restaurants in Manhattan), and immediately bought a four pack!

    Don’t like Scarlett– so freaking annoying, love Rayna and suprisingly enough, Juliette– wanted so smack Tebow’s Mom.

    should have read my comment before posting– how many times can I use the word “found”– and grammar errors (it’s)– oops!

    Tebow’s Mom was such a megabitch.
    You can tell she is a professional megabitch too, because even while she was saying those horrible things to Juliette (who was so well-behaved and cute all episode long and didn’t deserve that shit) she kept that nice tone of voice and a smile on her face. That megabitch practices her craft.
    I actually think it’s a horrible idea for Juliette to marry Tebow, but I support it if for no other reason than to see the look on the mom’s face. She and Tebow’s sister would spontaneously combust for opposite reasons.

    Ew SourCake, I can’t believe that you like Juliette and Deacon together.
    I like them best when they are doing the big brother-little sister thing and Deacon is being all supportive and wise. When they are sexing, I just get uncomfortable. It’s just not right.

    It sucks that Gailey is over. I was really hoping that Hailey would make Gunnar forget about Scarlett, just by the sheer force of her awesomeness. But of course not. How could he forget an annoying hillbilly farce of a Who (because the Whos stood up for themselves goddamnit), when he had such a gorgeous, smart, independent, sophisticated, amazing girlfriend like Hailey?

    Hailey and Avery would be such an unfair pairing. She’d be downgrading ALOT and he’d be upgrading ALOT, and he doesn’t deserve an upgrade. Plus, he wouldn’t have a career anymore, because Hailey is not gonna let him bang his manager all willy nilly.
    I would not object to a Hailey and Deacon pairing.
    It will never happen, but if by some miracle, it did, I would be so well pleased.

    Well, hopefully Gunnar hooks up with Scarlett, realizes the actual Scarlett (as opposed to his fantasy girl) pales in comparison to the actual Hailey and he fights to get Hailey back! Of course, Hailey will have to make him work for it. But sadly I don’t think that’s where the story is going.

    So I was doing some casual Nashville real estate browsing (my family and I are moving down there next year), and while I was looking, I came across this gem:

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this Rayna’s house that they film at? If so, who wants to pay almost 20 million for it? ;)

    Rayna’s house is a real house located in Belle Meade, on the west side of town, Nashville’s (old) money section. And when I say “old”, I mean the country club recently admitted their first full black member. Most of the music biz people tend to live in Williamson County, which is generally Tennessee’s richest county, and is about a half hour outside of Nashville.
    I really enjoy this show, I grew up there. The story of the baseball stadium downtown was a hot political topic a few years ago.
    Thank you for the awesome recaps!
