Natalia Was Here!!! I Am Writing This at 1:37 Pm!!! We Are Watching Snl the Family Dinner!!!

Need to catch up? Check out the previousNashville recap here.

Two kinda unbelievable things happen in this calendar week's Nashville, and I'm still scratching my head over which is the more than egregious.

One is that Juliette loses her damn mind in the fourth dimension it would take an egg to go from over easy to over medium. And this is no "I'm flawed but lovable" stuff. We're talking real, possible mental issues that are of a scarier flavor than her usual neuroses and jealousies

The other is that at that place are Scarlett and Gunnar cosplayers? I shouldn't be surprised — honestly, at last twelvemonth's San Diego Comic-Con, I saw someone cosplaying as Kikkoman soy sauce — but… really?

While I'm pulling my grandma sweaters and pixie wig out of storage, allow's epitomize what happens in "Not Ready to Brand Squeamish."

SCARLETT: 0 SLEAZY JOURNOS: two | Scarlett and Gunnar are getting gas when he tosses out the idea of just getting in the car and driving far away. She points out that she tried that once, but he stopped her — prissy callback, Nashville — but he won't permit the notion go. "No more tours, no more than cameras," he muses, and I sympathize that the three.five minutes of fame yous've had must be incredibly taxing, Gunny, but good God, y'all're no Johnny Cash. Simmer, please. They're interrupted by Access Hollywood'southward Natalie Morales — who, in this episode, is given the unenviable role of gossip pariah — when she pops up on the gas pump's screen and starts squawking about an exclusive paparazzi photo in which Scarlett'due south baby bump is on prominent display.

I call shenanigans —Access Hollywood would not give two hoots about these two! — but both of The Exes look pained, nevertheless. And information technology but gets worse when they get gently mobbed (cuddlemobbed?) past some overenthusiastic, well-wishing fans at a store. "What in the sam hill is a 'shipper, anyhow?" Gunnar asks later on, when they're at domicile and trawling the Internet. Oh Gunny, PULL UP A CHAIR AND Set up TO TAKE NOTES. The entire online community of a sudden seems obsessed with the pair'due south human relationship and the (incorrect) thought that Scarlett is carrying Gunnar's kid. She's sad, only he encourages her to ignore all of it and focus on the good stuff.

Merely and then Scar accidentally overshares with a announcer during a lunch interview, and the reporter — who claims she besides hooked up with Damien — infers that Scarlett's infant isn't Gunnar'southward. Scarlett freaks and runs out, the woman publishes the story ("Trouble in Scunnarville" is the hilarious headline), and pretty soon Scarlett is crying to Deacon about the whole affair. Oh, and she found out she'south having a daughter.

"I demand to be the female parent she deserves to have, and I don't remember I am," Scarlett sniffles to her uncle. (This was one of two places Nashville hit me with the sneak emotional attack this week. I'll alert you to the other when we get in that location.) A happily bawling Deke assures her that she'll practice slap-up. "But love her. The residual will follow," he says, all the while albeit that "My ineptitude as a parent has been fabricated painfully clear."

TEARS AND A TRUCE | And why might Deacon say that? Considering Maddie finds out that Liv (and, kinda, Daphne) fabricated the GIF of her on the night of the arrest, which causes her to angrily order Liv out of the house, which starts World War Xiv between the sisters. In that location are two excellent aspects to this storyline: 1) Deacon'due south axiomatic frustration and fish-outta-h2o-ness when it comes to trying to bring about emotional equilibrium for two grieving adolescent girls, and 2) the scene where Maddie and Daphne repent to each other and admit that they're lost without Rayna around. "I but miss mom. Every day, every hour, I just want mom. And she's not here," Maddie says, crying. "I need you to help me figure things out, because I'm and then confused." Daphne hugs her, sobbing as she says, "I need y'all, likewise. I thought y'all were already gone." Prissy work here from both of the Stellas. (In case you were wondering, this was the ep's 2nd scene that nearly did me in.)

Deacon is pleasantly surprised when he comes dwelling to find that the siblings are getting along again. Then they consume Chinese food and record a vocal together, as you exercise.

WARPED VIEW | I saved Juliette for final considering I am still and so baffled by what is happening in her storyline, and I thought maybe getting the residual of the epitomize out of the style first would clear my mind. Um, nope: What in the world is that daughter thinking? First, she tries to railroad Hallie into releasing a unmarried that, while a groovy song, is super poppy and not at all the roots music that reeled Deacon and Avery in concluding week at The Bluebird. Deacon says every bit much during a coming together, and when Avery backs him up (instead of an indignant Juliette), it seems to set more than bad stuff in motion.

Pretty presently, Juliette is looking askance at every friendly interaction between Hallie (who's been dumped past George, the Married Loser ™) and Avery. She catalogues every casual touch and knowing express joy. She watches All About Eve. And when she can't contain the crazy anymore, she lashes out at Hallie just later on the newbie artist records a different, more authentic-sounding demo at the studio.

"You're not fooling anyone with your little Miss Innocent routine," the blonde sneers. Avery is horrified as an angry Hallie leaves. "I'm literally worried about y'all at this moment," he tells his wife. Dude, become in line.

Does Juliette actually believe that Hallie is an opportunistic famewhore who used Ju'due south plane crash to her advantage? And if so, why did all of this manifest in this episode? I'yard so confused.

Do you lot have any idea what's going on in Juliette's pretty piddling head? Were you non that lamentable when Liv turned downwards Daphne and Maddie'south offer to come back to the business firm? And would you e'er dress up as The Exes for fun? Sound off in the comments!
