Although sadly for her, this one radio deejay isn't that into her and has decided Layla Grant is more dynamic, so he's cutting her air time and tweeting nasty things about how much better Layla's set is, etc. What went around is coming around, I guess. Not even sunglasses can help. ## Ludditeville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7872-1024x768.xml) Luke Wheeler has caught Powers Boothe Syndrome, which means he has an elaborate wood-paneled office and a fancy-pants desk and zero modern technology with which to do any modern work. But hey, he has a picture frame. And Rayna's number, which he is using to woo her. ## Cutesyville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7880-1024x768.xml) These two are having sex a lot, hoping Scarlett doesn't find out. Oliver Hudson calls and asks one more time for that song, and Zoey convinces Gunnar to use it as leverage. Oliver Hudson doesn't love this, but does like Gunnar's demo, so in exchange for the song he sends him off as the opening act for one of their tours and tells him he'll use what he learns to work toward a solo concert at Teddy's Music City Music Festival. Avery is not involved in any of this, anywhere. Weren't they working together? This show has amnesia. I feel like it's constantly planting seeds and then letting them die. WATER YOUR PLOT PLANTS. ## Noville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7882-1024x768.xml) Rayna tells Scarlett that she's leaving the next day on Luke Wheeler's tour bus, doing a three-song opening set. That sounds fairly paltry, but I guess that's also what happens when you're, like, the fifth person on a bill. However, I am not sure in what universe we're supposed to believe that Scarlett has suddenly stopped shopping at Anthropologie and started shopping at a Garanimals outlet for Disney Junior stars. ## Maddieville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7890-1024x768.xml) This one is pouty because Teddy is getting married and she doesn't want to sing at the reception, because of Feelings. Actually, I do get that these sorts of emotions linger, and she's struggling with losing her father biologically and then also losing him to a new wife and WHAT IF PEGGY IS PREGNANT (which of course she is, but Maddie doesn't know that, except also she ISN'T and NOBODY knows that). Rayna says what she always says: "We'll get through it." ## Santaville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7894-1024x768.xml) During a meet-and-greet at the tour stop in Houston, Layla gets the once-over from the DJ who has picked her over Juliette. They call him Santa, because, per Juliette, all the young girls in country music have to sit on his lap to get what they want. Layla seems to enjoy the flirting part, but Juliette is skeeved out, and also maybe a bit jealous because she's not the hot young thing on the block anymore. And Santa Claus is filing suit because he really doesn't appreciate being pervified. HE JUST WANTS TO GIVE PEOPLE TOYS. NON SEXUAL TOYS. ## Fugville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7900-1024x768.xml) Maddie has been asking about Deacon, so Rayna goes to his place to tell him this and tell him to Get Ready. It was thoughtful of her not to wear anything hot while she was over there. This is a drawstring-waist plaid blanket and I am seriously starting to wonder if Connie Britton raided Clare Bowen's wardrobe rack by mistake. This should be on Scarlett, with Uggs and a cardigan, draped in braids. ## Repeatville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7902-1024x768.xml) This show clearly has a deal with whatever designer that is, because Rayna just wore a version of this to the Big Hat Event. Peggy's might be better. This should not be allowed, because Peggy is not the Queen of Country; only the Queen of Womb Lies. So when Teddy says he'd like to postpone the wedding until Maddie is comfortable - the wedding that is the next day - Peggy freaks out and convinces him that it will hurt his family and his congressional hopes if he does. Clearly she feels like she just needs him to put a ring on it, in case her plan eat a lot of donuts for eight more months and then steal a baby does not work. ## Ointmentville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7907-1024x768.xml) Poor Juliette has broken out into some incredibly expensive-looking hives. ## Beardville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7908-1024x768.xml) Did I miss the scene where it was suggested that Will and Layla should date? It was in the previously on... maybe I just blocked it out, because my memory is terrible. Anyway, they're in a fake relationship that she, naturally, does not realize is also a bearding. She is pleased to see that Santa has cleared out the media seats at Juliette's show so that nobody will write about her, because she's on the Naughty list, and Layla wants Will to have a lot of sex with her, which so far he is refusing to do, possibly because he -- like I -- can't tell what the hell age she's supposed to be. ## Rageville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7912-1024x768.xml) Juliette rants to Charlie Wentworth all about grody Santa, and how demeaning it is to be a female in this business, and Charlie -- who owns a bajillion radio stations -- takes it upon himself to fire Santa, because that behavior is gross and children should not be receiving anything for Christmas from his sack. But THEN Juliette freaks out about him firing Santa, and demands that he be given back his job. She doesn't like people fighting her battles for her, she claims. But... ## Bustedville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7943-1024x768.xml) ... when she summons Santa to her dressing room, she tells him that she orchestrated the firing and re-hiring, to prove she has pull, and then orders him to give her double the airtime of Layla Grant and loads of compliments because SHE is the queen here. Santa agrees. We all need to discuss that Juliette is wearing the Neck Thong dress that she was trying on in the last episode. I really thought we'd seen the last of Neck Thong. Your chest is not an ass. Don't put panties on it. ## Adviceville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7949-1024x768.xml) Juliet has a nice moment where she tells Layla that she doesn't have to play along with the grabby radio guys, and that nobody will treat her like a whore on Juliette's watch. Layla is like, "Whatever, lady, I'm not you," and Juliette looks bemusedly taken aback by this, and mutters, "Guess nice just isn't my color." Neither is all that blush, really. ## Ranchville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7916-1024x768.xml) Luke invites Rayna to his estate, which is on Jurassic Park. ## Sighville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7904-1024x768.xml) Can we discuss that somehow Jonathan Jackson looks 43 in this shot? Avery -- whose status with Scarlett does not thrill Deacon -- is going to help Deacon practice performing without a guitar, because he wants to do something that will make Maddie proud. Why doesn't he have Maddie play with him? Probably because this show can't figure out what to do with Avery week-to-week so they're just playing storyline ping-pong with him. ## Singville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7917-1024x768.xml) Deacon, however, isn't used to singing without also playing an instrument, so he can't figure out what to do with his hands. Maybe he should hold the microphone. Or do air guitar. SOLVED. I can't believe no one consulted me. Anyway, he's going to do an open mic night at a club way off the beaten trail, because -- as he confesses to Avery -- he's afraid to go back to the Bluebird and see the faces of the people whom he disappointed, and also, he doesn't want to suck, and also, I guess they wanted to give the two of them a scene together in a car where they had to talk. ## BANGville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7921-1024x768.xml) And the two of them blow off steam -- about exes getting remarried, the stress of blended families, lust -- by shooting glass bottles... ## The OTHER Bangville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7923-1024x768.xml) And then by shooting each other's glass bottles. Or something. That is a terrible euphemism, but for some reason I also feel like it was terrible sex, so I'm good with leaving it. ## Bigotville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7935-1024x768.xml) On the right, you can see Cute Brett with his new boyfriend, which has been making Will shifty and jealous the whole hour. On the left, the bro who sidles up to Brett and his BF and tries to shame them out of the bar because they're gay. But the person it chases away is Will, while Brett gives him a tsk-tsk look, because he doesn't approve of closets. ## Bashville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7947-1024x768.xml) Will gets fisty revenge on those fools until one of them begs for mercy. It's a good thing Will is totally not recognizable nor identifiable, should the guys press charges. ... Wait, hmm. Methinks Oliver Hudson is not going to be amused by this. Then again, he's not amused by anything on this show except perhaps the slick feeling of his own hair gel, which would explain why he can't seem to stop slathering it on. I know I don't have a photo of that, but it's basically exactly the same every time. ## Cakeville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7928-1024x768.xml) Peggy is wearing a perfectly okay white dress that looks like it cost $39.98, because it was on clearance and can't be returned. ## Poutville ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/11/nIMG_7934-1024x768.jpg) Maddie saw them looking happy together and so they sang at the reception, but the sight of Teddy dancing with Daphne gave her The Sads again so she called Rayna to pick her up. And just ditched her sister there, I guess. Way to go. Maddie asks Rayna if Deacon will ever look at her the way Teddy was looking at Daphne, and instead of saying, "Deacon has looked at you that way and loved you ever since you were born, because he's been your Uncle Deacon and he adores you and even though that's different it's still really powerful and you can believe in it," or something, Rayna says, "Gee, questions we don't know the answer to." She is the worst. But she does call Deacon, who concocts a plan. ## Familyville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7939-1024x768.xml) Deacon sets up a surprise set at The Bluebird for Maddie to watch. So while Daphne is now stuck at her father's wedding, Rayna has picked up the other daughter -- do we think she even told anyone? -- and taken her out to her birth father's concert, instead of parenting Maddie by telling her that she needs to be there for the man who raised her, because he will always be there for HER, and they can find a place and time for Deacon another day. EVERY other day, but Teddy's wedding day. I complain that this show never lets Rayna mess up or do the wrong thing; this season she's doing it a lot, but everyone's acting like they are still all the right things, and it's even worse. ## Pippiville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7950-1024x768.xml) Scarlett mumbles to Avery that, gee, she's got a whole bedroom in the back of her us 'n' every'n' else is cramm'd 'n' th'r' l'ik s'rd'n's. She spends more time on her hair that she does saying vowels. ## Dun-dun-DUN-ville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7953-1024x768.xml) Gunnar, of course, gets attached to this tour and so he and Scarlett will be on the road together, doing each other's hair and talking about their periods. It's going to be super fun. ## Olivia ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7957-1024x768.xml) Meanwhile, Charlie Wentworth's wife shoes up to tell Juliette that she knows ALL ABOUT her booty sessions with her husband... ## Twistville ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7958-1024x768.xml) ... and wants to know why Juliette isn't nailing HER instead. ZING. I did not see that coming, and neither did Juliette. Well played, Nashville. Juliette has good chemistry with EVERYONE, so why NOT just have her start doing hot threesomes with this couple? Maybe they should do a Big Hat Event where the entire cast wears ONLY hats and everyone just goes to town on each other and we see how it goes. [Fug the Show: Nashville recap, season 2, episode 7The show finally remembered that Deacon and Rayna should have scenes together. It's a start.![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nimg_7865-1024x768.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-the-show-nashville-episode-2-7-11-2013/)
