## Leggingsville

Juliette is cranky. Every recap could begin thusly; here, it's because Layla Grant decided to do an encore without telling anyone, which costs money and delays Juliette's entrance. And if you get in the way of Juliette and the spotlight, you get killed with mind-knives.

## Strumville

The girl playing Layla only occasionally remembered to change her fingers on the neck of the guitar. It's the musical equivalent of when people fake-type for TV and just lightly tap all the keys but never hit the space bar. HAVE YOU NEVER TYPED BEFORE? JUST TYPE YOUR NAME OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

## Wussville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8420-1024x768.xml)

Charlie is hanging around all over the place, having told Juliette he's in love with her. She doesn't believe him, because there is absolutely no good reason to believe him, and she's pretty sure he's only here until the show can come up with a better love interest for her. Which should not be as hard as it apparently is.

## Phonevile

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8426_2.xml)

In a fairly cute scene, Zoey is on the phone with Gunnar, who is right next to Scarlett, who is on the phone with Avery, who is right next to Zoey. Hijinks lead to Zoey and Avery deciding to road trip to the tour stop so that this phone call can truly be a booty call. Scarlett's braid is like, 'Better unhook myself so we can get FUNKY,' and Gunnar diverts his erection to his hair.

## Barville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8433-1024x768.xml)

Will is basically getting drunk and rowdy all the time now. He pisses off Layla by blowing her off, then crowd-surfs into a group that has no interest in carrying him. So he face-plants. It's satisfying.

## Extraville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8437-1024x768.xml)

To prove he's serious, Charlie files for divorce from Olivia and leaks it to Extra. Mario Lopez gamely delivers the news, using the "Charlivia" portmanteau, while Maria Menounos sits there thinking, "In real life nobody would give a shit about them unless they had a reality show, and also, in real life they'd probably have a reality show."

## Wartsville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8438-1024x768.xml)

Juliette is so shocked she doesn't even NOTICE that her performance costume has the bubonic plague.

## Layla

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8447-1024x768.xml)

Layla has begun shopping at a wallpaper store for all her blazers. The thing is, this blazer is crazy wrong, but there's also something appealingly right about it. I KNOW. I don't understand me either.

## Dadville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8456-1024x768.xml)

Maddie has Rayna's and Teddy's permission to take guitar lessons from Deacon, although Teddy DOES NOT LIKE IT. I do, though. I'm not ENTIRELY sure why neither of them pointed out that she's already really adept on the guitar and that this seems like a very thin excuse to spend time with him, but the thing is, neither of them is paying real attention to this child so whatever.

## Subtleville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8457-1024x768.xml)

These two start marching around arm-in-arm despite the fact that they're not going public, which makes me wonder if they really understand what "going public" means. Basically, YET AGAIN, Juliette has decided to have sex with a guy who turns her into a total douche and encourages her worst behaviors. (Here, he tells her to get revenge on Layla by switching her set so that she's first and Will gets the prime pre-Juliette slot.) If this ends with extortion and murder I'm going to start expecting ALL their storylines to be chewed up, regurgitated redos of whatever happened last year.

## Fightville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8459-1024x768.xml)

And yet again, Glenn and Juliette fight over the fact that she's a selfish jerk and he's her only father figure so he gets to a) have all the fights with her that a father would, and b) constantly be told he's not her actual relative. Glenn is a freaking saint. Glenn should start walking around with a halo affixed to his head, and start a Karma Jar where Juliette has to drop in $25 Amazon gift card every time she hisses something unpleasant at him.

## Bondingville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8463-1024x768.xml)

Maddie calls up Deacon to sing one of his songs with her, which is a GREAT song, and also a move that makes Teddy's blood froth to full cappucino levels.

## Crackville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8469-1024x768.xml)

Juliette gets wind of Layla's plan and walks out in her place, stealing the duet with Will. It's a great performance, but she looks INSANE, like she is not wearing a ponytail but in fact cut off the tail of one of Charlie's ponies. It's refried Video Vixen and THAT SUCKER IS CRIMPED. MERRY CHRIMPSTMAS AMERICA.

## Outcastville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8464-1024x768.xml)

These three are playing cards while Scarlett does her sound check, and when she comes back, she's hyper-aware that things had the gall not to fall apart in her absence -- both here and back home. So she spends the rest of the hour rolling a joint and smoking some Mope.

## Mopeville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8472-1024x768.xml)

So now that she's all high on Mope, Scarlett puts on her sexiest lace long-johns and opens up a bag of crunchy Meetos, and dips them in melted VelMEeta and gorges herself on feeling lame. And then she snuggles up to the boyfriend who drove all this way to see her and asks him to watch TV. Avery's face, which I couldn't get a good grab of, indicates that this wasn't the joint he'd had in mind.

## Wivesville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8460-1024x768.xml)

Maddie has a one-song performance at a local bar's open mic night, and Peggy ushers Rayna around like she's an equal parent, which makes Rayna want to get back on the pirate ship she arrived in and shoot Peggy with a cannon.

## Fake-up-ville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8458-1024x768.xml)

The label tells Will to fix things with Layla, so he pretends he cares long enough to make her smile and put down the carbs. But because she's now slumming it in the early slot, Layla comes up with a way Will can help her out: let her do a duet with him at the end of his set. She's pretty smart, that Layla. Not smart enough to put down the shoulder pads, but she'll get there.

## Angstville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8474-1024x768.xml)

Teddy chases Deacon out of the venue and screams at him, and basically this scene is about Teddy being insecure and concerned Deacon will fall off the wagon and ruin Maddie's life, and Deacon feeling attacked and challenging Teddy on why Maddie is coming to HIM instead. Maddie hears all this and runs away yelping, then comes to Rayna's room later wearing a really depressed watercolor that she made to express the fact that she doesn't want to talk to EITHER OF THEM EVER AGAIN. Rayna's response is basically, "I'm sorry you feel that way BUT YOU HAVE ME," because she's not a great parent. Actually, she does point out that Maddie will regret cutting them out of her life, but I'm still mad at how Rayna has handled... well, basically everything else.

## Sisterville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8443-1024x768.xml)

Their story involves whether anyone will be a character witness for Powers Boothe so that he can get house arrest with an anklet, because he's way too old to be stuck in a prison booth, although you'd think he'd be able to entertain himself because he doesn't have a computer in his power booth, either. Tandy thinks about it, but then consults the US Attorney and he is like ARE YOU MENTAL YOU ARE THE MAIN WITNESS AND I WOULD HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE THAT so she chickens out. Rayna doesn't know what to do, so she wears a hat, because that way her thoughts will stay up in there until she sorts out what they mean.

## Courtville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8481-1024x768.xml)

Tandy, of course, bags on the court date so Rayna has to stand up for Powers Boothe. She says vague nice things about how much he loves his granddaughters and family, and he'd never flee if it would hurt them, and the judge is like, "That's adorable. NO SOUP FOR YOU."

## Prisonville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8489-1024x768.xml)

The Boothe smells a rat and swears vengeance on all who've wronged him, and the implication is that he realizes Tandy is the guilty party. Well, HE is technically the guilty party, but that she is guilty of admitting his guilt, for which she will pay WITH HER LIFE or at least some really scary conversations with a man in disturbing pants.

## Whiskeyville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8480-1024x768.xml)

You can tell Juliette is emotionally conflicted because she, too, has put a fedora on her brain. Will basically admits to her that he's selling his soul to be a huge country star, and says Very Wise Things that make Juliette realize Charlie does not make her the best version of herself. She could stand to realize that she doesn't HAVE a best version of herself.

## Averyville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8483-1024x768.xml)

So Juliette dumps Charlie and tells him to go back to Olivia, and he's like, "Yeah, okay." Did they change their mind about this story every three days? First they're in love and he's a cheater, then he's actually a sad boy with a tyrant for a wife, then she might be a lesbian, then they MIGHT just be threesome-searchers (they never actually SAID whether Olivia made that up as a gambit or not), and then he's a mopey lovestruck schoolboy, and finally he's going to cancel his divorce and skulk back to the wife he probably wanted to divorce anyway. There are too many ideas there, I think, or at least I don't know that the scenes as written actually made that a smooth throughline. Anyway, Juliette then calls the person who makes her be her best self...

## iOS6ville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8485-1024x768.xml)

And it's Avery, who I guess has Juliette's airplane phone listed under her name in his contacts list. That is thorough. He also hasn't updated to iOS7, for which I envy him.

## Shockville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8486-1024x768.xml)

Scarlett is swanning around wearing a chicken-fried nightgown as an actual dress. She catches Gunnar and Zoey in the act of making out and runs away, because that's her response to everything. Zoey had gone to tell her, but it turned into a conversation about how Scarlett is sad and miserable and cries herself to sleep -- so Zoey comforted her about that instead, and now the excrement has defiled the air-cooling unit.

## Parentville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8487-1024x768.xml)

And Rayna, in her most boringly outfitted episode yet, stands up and tells Teddy and Deacon to man up and be better or else Maddie won't want to deal with them ever again. They're so startled that she's actually engaging them in a useful way about this whole thing that they agree.

## EXCEPTville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8492-1024x768.xml)

Oh, but Teddy isn't okay at all, actually: He pettily gets Deacon's name taken off the list of performers at his big music festival and then sits back and practically rubs his fingers with Montgomery Burnsian glee, because he may be becoming that which he once hated: Powers Boothe 2.0.

## Blazerville

![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8495-1024x768.xml)

Layla, meanwhile, has become the foremost wearer of floral jackets. She calls TMZ and tips them off that Juliette Barnes is the reason Charlivia broke up, and TMZ is like, "CHARLIVIA IS NOT A THING," except you know they're going to run the hell out of the story and ruin Juliette's carefully re-crafted image. That's a nice little knife in the back, which makes me excited. I don't know why this show took Juliette and Rayna out of each other's orbits, though, because I had assumed the show would be building and then destroying and then building again the fragile trust between the two of them. And then maybe Maddie would be mad at Rayna for acting more like a mother figure to Juliette than to her, during her time of need. But that never happened, so... I guess we'll just see if they have a scene together ever again.

[Fug the Show: Nashville recap, season 2, episode 9It was a fairly tame week for Rayna, which I assume is because they gave all the fashion crack to Juliette.![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/img_8418-1024x768.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-the-show-nashville-episode-2-9-12-2013/)
