Nashville: A Scandalous Road Trip!
This week’s “Nashville” brought the heat that has been missing for a few episodes.
Juliette brought her mom and her mother’s sober companion/sponsor Dante on the road with her. However she stole Dante from her mom for her own use as a life coach, business advisor, and eventually boy toy. This is not going to end up well. Dante should have known better than to get romantically involved with Juliette. Next week from the previews Juliette catches her mom putting the moves on Dante. Oh brother!
Rayna tried desperately to keep her girls from being negatively influenced by Juliette. They wanted to be big stars like her, but it took Rayna’s sister to make her realized it’s their mom who they are idolizing and if she stifles their dreams it will be no different than what dad did to her. The end of the show had Rayna letting the girls practice a song on stage during sound check with the band. There were also some moments of irony when Deacon was watching Rayna perform with Mattie and she said she wished she was beautiful like her mom, but seems to have gotten her looks from her dad . . . When the hell is that secret going to come out?
Speaking of secrets, Deacon’s new girlfriend was a bit miffed to realize he had history with both Juliette and Rayna and wondered why she was even there? Deacon suggested it might be time to settle down and stop going on the road, he could basically become a studio musician or something. He wanted to do this for her, but something tells me he’s just forcing himself to stay away from Rayna.
Back in Nashville, Avery was paying the price for his choices and unable to get a new deal until he could fully pay off his old one to his producer. He ended up having to take a job as a roadie as it paid. My guess is he’s gunna somehow end up on Juliette and Rayna’s gig, and Rayna will like him and offer him a contract.
Gunnar and Scarlett fought over her contract. She didn’t want to sign it, but he made her saying it was him who screwed up and she shouldn’t pay for that. They then met their new neighbor, another Nashville star hopeful. Gunnar and the guy bonded, and it seemed like they could possibly form a duo and make it. However I’m sure Scarlett will come between them somehow. It’s just a redo of their initial story . . . when Gunnar came in between her and Avery.
Lamar was back in form this week. He was not going lose his stadium site because Teddy wasn’t playing by his rules. He learned that Peggy was the one who leaked news of Teddy’s divorce to the tabloids and blackmailed her, suggesting she convince Teddy to reconsider his deal. She tried, but Teddy seems to be intent on sticking it to Lamar. Stupid man! I’m still waiting for it to be revealed he won by cheating. By the end of the episode though hopes that might come out were dashed, as Lamar had a heart attack while home alone!
Read on for spoilers for the next episode!
