Nashville Recap: You Win Again

I saw a commercial today for the upcoming Nashville episode. YUM! Deacon looks incredibly f-ckable.
Remember what I said about Gunnar’s brother looking a bit WP prag material? Check it:

Oui ou Non?

 So we open to something I cringed through – Juliette and Rayna performing Wrong Song to in some McStadium. Rayna’s pretty much taking her top off and waving the girls in Liam’s face. Ick! Rayna, you are a beautiful woman in the prime of her life. You don’t need to rub your scent all over him. Juliette is pissed. Not sure if it’s because Liam is totes into Rayna and not at all into her or that Rayna is not focusing on the song but rather her flirtation with the Irish Pony.

 Mooooommmmm, STOP!  You’re embarassing yourself.

And your kids.

And your husband.  You know, the mayor? 

Ugh.

We can see that Rayna is decked out in Walmart’s finest. And that dress just makes Juliette look like she’s got some hard-core bolt-ons. And a gut. This is a clear crime against beauty.

Look at her up there, the consummate professional working the crowd when slutty mom is in the background humping up on some young piece of strange.

Juliette stomps off the stage in full four-year-old tantrum mode. She pissed because Rayna and Liam ignore her and Goodman further pisses her off when he informs her they are all travelling back to Nashville together. How cosy!

This chick Callista is the head of a rival record company and she’s about to give Rayna the full-court press.

Are you using Wen? Your hair looks fabulous.

Gunnar and Scarlett are jamming and it appears that Scarlett is well on her way between tipsy and trashed.

Sexay.

Avery’s musical career is chugging along but not quite keeping pace with the massive ego that is roiling inside of our fair Avery. He’s playing a paying gig, he’s going to the big party the record company is throwing Juliette and Rayna. He’s on top of the world and still completely miserable.

Rayna, Juliette, Liam and assorted entourage (managers and that dumb-dumb passive-aggressive PA of Juliette’s) fly home. OK, here’s what rubs me the wrong way about Rayna. She is perfectly happy to snicker with Liam at Juliette but when she snarks back about Rayna not being able to afford her own plane, Rayna is all “You are rude. We are sitting right here.” Yeah, and Juliette was right in front of you while you and the Irish Pony (sorry, I kind of love that nickname for Liam) mean-girled her. I mean, smirking at Juliette’s mom’s court hearing? Alright, to be fair, she was probably laughing at that PA’s oblivious comment about it but still…Rayna, sometimes you act like some snotty high-school bitch.
And here we go! In a segment that actually uses some adventurous shots, we learn that the article Carmen was writing about Deacon and the Revel Kings was actually a pretty bad smear. She wrote that Deacon “didn’t work out” with the band and that he had fallen off the wagon. Oooh, Daddy’s mad.
