Juliette, after her verbal fencing with Rayna, comes home to hubby and his pissed off parents. The dad looks like a date-rapist who graduated college, grew up and is now roofie-ing the babysitters. Sanctimonious mom harps on how they have to get married in the eyes of God by doing it church-styles. Juliette is all in and I love her. She’s not caving to the bitch mom and she’s going to make her regret every mean little word she said to her at that family dinner. Love Juliette so much. HEY – Juliette and Hailey need to become friends. Juliette needs some galpals in her life.

Rayna breaks the tour news to Teddy and tells him not only is she leaving for half a year, she’s taking the girls too. Teddy basically tells her if that’s the way she wants to play, prepare for a fight.

I can see both sides. Rayna wants to get her girls away from any harmful situation but there is too much of an element of revenge. Teddy hurt her so she’s taking away his children. And Teddy, bless him, isn’t about to let that happen. And let’s face it, the way the show’s been written thus far, he’s their primary parent. Rayna spends long hours in the studio and off on tour. Teddy’s the one taking them to the doctor, the dentist and going to Parents Nights.
Poor Teddy looks totally thrashed by the mess his life has become. He looks forlornly at a photo of the family in happier times and looks like this:

That is sadness.

Rayna and Liam (who is of course, sipping on his little flask of whiskey. Please writers, surprise me and let it come out that it’s Vitamin Water or something other than booze in there. IT’s just so fucking hokey and played-out. It’s bad enough you named him Liam…) are discussing why she’s heading out on tour and she pours her heart out to him about her failing marriage and her need to just escape for awhile. His curiosity is piqued. As well as his loins, I’m sure.
Avery flies back to town to break up his little boy band. He looks like a snivelling, sweaty little rat while doing it.

You can’t expect me to hold to promises I made a few years ago.  Didn’t you hear me? I. Got. A. Record. Deal. ???

 Juliette suffers through an afternoon of church wedding planning with MotherBitch. She’s just so horrible it’s hard to make fun of her. I just want Juliette to laugh in her face.

“I expect a lot of from Sean’s wife.”

Funny, I expect that you as this Southern belle you are trying to pull off would have put more care and attention into grooming those comma eyebrows and a little more thought into your wardrobe. That neckline makes your neck look like wood bark. Also, your hair is thinning. Consider extentions. Maybe Juliette can treat you to an afternoon (month) at the spa if you can’t afford it. She’s loaded. And she didn’t earn it on her back, like you undoubtedly did by marrying that gross husband of yours.

    Re CrackMom: She’s in treatment, so I’m betting that she is clean…for now anyway. Having been in her shoes myself 27 years ago (and counting!), I gotta say that most women in very early recovery still look pretty messed up and we don’t help the look by doing our makeup in ways that don’t flatter us. We just don’t know any better yet. I recognized a lot of the sober-babble advice she was giving her daughter and thinking, “Yep, she’s a newcomer to recovery.” We just like to share what we’re learning as we trudge the road to happy destiny.

    Sourcake, I totally agree with you about Deacon’s story line with the revel kings. I don’t like it at all. On the plus side, he looked incredibly hot this ep. Don’t know what he is doing, but it is really working for him.

    @ChaCha – you nailed it. Congrats on 27 years – I’ve got 3 1/2 under my belt, and I was NOT a pretty picture in those early days!

    My heart broke for Juliette in that last scene. I really wanted to Sean to fight for her and force her to talk about her emotions. But I do think that now she’s starting to realize that maybe her life isn’t as full and perfect as she thought it was.

    I’m from nyc and I know Mayor Corey Booker from Newark. IDK if that counts though because that city is always on the news in our area for being terrible but Corey Booker is lie the most amazing Mayor ever! I fell in love after Hurricane Sandy happened and he let people who lost power go to his house to shower and use his electricity and ordered food for them while every other mayor (coughBloombergcough) just went around and talked a lot.

    back to the recap

    I am loving this show. It is very Friday Night Lights to me in that all the characters are realistically flawed and yet you just still love the hell out of them. Plus Connie Britton is always always always a vision. Hayden Pantierre always looks gorgeous too. I love the clothes on this show.

    Oh did anyone else see the connection between Red Lips and White Lies with Taylor Swift’s newest album Red??? I definitely did and did not think that was an accident. The lettering is done the same and everything.

    I don’t know if she is a ballerina but she is a classically trained vocalist, as in opera.

    Nashville once had a mayor named Bill Boner (honestly, that was his name), and he was both engaged and married at the same time. I remember him being on Donahue. The alt-weekly newspaper gives out Boner Awards for all of the stupid things local politicians say and do.
    Thanks for the great recaps.

    I didn’t want to, but I definitely have a little crush on Liam.
    He is so entertaining.
    But I’d rather him have a thing with Juliette than Rayna….I know he seems to hate Juliette and he isn’t her favorite either (especially after that laying down on the stage stunt), but I feel like somewhere under all that disdain and mockery, there’s some attraction.
    Or maybe I’m just projecting.

    Also, as much as I like Juliette, I have no doubt that a fraction of her money was made on her back, especially because music is such a male-dominated industry and when we met her, sexuality was the first and most finely honed tool in her arsenal for getting what she wanted. Sexuality and bitchery, but mostly sexuality.
    Anyway, it’d be naive to think that she made it from the trailer park to where she is now without spreading em for one VIP or another.

    Tebow was right to seek an annulment…J. only married him to get back at megabitch and to snatch his virtue.
    And I think Crackmom looks way better after a little bit of time in rehab.
    Her skin and eyes are brighter, and her hair is actually brushed. Plus she makes sense when she talks.

    I think for Lamar, it doesn’t matter what the prize is; he just doesn’t like to lose and will do whatever it takes to make sure that he doesn’t.
    Rayna’s kids could ask him to help them with a lemonade stand, and he would arrange drive-by shootings at all the other lemonade stands in the neighborhood. Fuck that, all the other lemonade stands in Nashville would get shot-up. Just to make sure his endorsed lemonade stand wins.

    So happy that Deacon is no longer a Revel King.
    I hated those fuckers.

    @chaosbutterfly – I hadn’t considered Liam with Juliette, but now that you bring it up, I am so on board. I think he might be good for her – at the very least he would call her on her shit.

    I don’t like Liam with Juliette. Just too cliche and also she should not get all the guys for goodness sakes!

    Hi,

    I’m glad we were able to make you pee yourself laughing.
    I enjoyed my brief time on the show and as far as being called an Ape by you,
    I’ve been called much worse!
