We know this because he wakes up caked in the sweat of the damned. He is sorry for himself. He is in a four-way game of Sorry... with no other players. ## Rayna and Teddy ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6715-1024x768.jpg) Teddy is blurry, as usual. These two signed the divorce papers, so THAT'S over, at least. Rayna didn't even bother to finish her updo. She's too preoccupied with releasing her album with Liam to finish out her contract, despite the fact that last week she decided to bolt Edgehill. Y'all, courtroom shenanigans are NEVER interesting unless they involve Alexis Colby and Victor Newman. Preferably both. ## Juliette ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6718-1024x768.xml) Juliette has decided she's at the top of the heap again, despite all humiliating evidence to the contrary last week. She goes in for a meeting with Oliver Hudson and tells him she won't play the big concert for his stockholders because she's got a conflicting gig with a millionaire in Maryland, who owns a bunch of radio stations and wants her to play his anniversary party. She's in a super tight dress, which either IS or is identical to those body-shaping ones that Stella McCartney was putting everyone in for a while. You can see Hayden's navel through it. Oliver Hudson could throw a penny down it and make a wish. ## Layla ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6719-1024x768.xml) Layla already has a better wardrobe than Scarlett ever had. She tells Juliette what an honor it was to perform her song, and Juliette is like, "Yes, just like karaoke," and her manager Glenn is shooting lasers of skepticism at her because he can't understand why Juliette doesn't just act nice; a tiny mirror go-go-Gadgets out of Juliette's belly button and bounces the lasers at Layla, who explodes. ## Scarlett and Rayna ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6724-1024x768.jpg) Scarlett is so ridiculous. Her boots look like they're wearing petticoats. ## Rayna ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6726-1024x768.xml) Now that she's divorced, Rayna is busting out some leg AND some wedges. SOMEBODY is fluffing her plumage. It's strange to me that she's acting like Deacon doesn't exist, though -- like that night by the memorial, she was like, 'Well, we should end it, byeeeeee," and she's never had a minute's trouble about it. Scarlett does not think to be indignant that Rayna suddenly has no trouble at all forgetting about Deacon, but in the jar on the shelf where she left it, her brain throbs with irritation. ## Lady ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6731-1024x768.xml) So, this is Olivia, wife of Charlie Wentworth, the the billionaire (on the right) who is paying Juliette to play for them. I am mildly concerned that she is too rich to do her own shopping, and thereby assumed the box of scarves and belts was actually some kind of craft project. Seriously, I can't tell if that buckle is part of the print, or part of the choker, but either way I'm pretty sure nipples aren't supposed to get buckled. I also have no idea what the horseman is doing on her "shirt" -- a polo match in the desert? A chariot race? Hide and Sheik? Charlie explains that this is not, in fact, his wife; just a human hand-towel stand from the upstairs half-bath. ## Rayna ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6733-1024x768.xml) She is wearing this short dress with sassy booties, and seriously, Divorced Rayna is sartorially way more interesting already. Teddy must have been sexual narcolepsy. ## Liam ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6735-1024x768.xml) "I'm really, really happy you're okay," Liam says to Rayna's breasts. ## Liam and Rayna ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6761-1024x768.xml) This is the natural and obvious progression of his guest appearance, although, again, there is NO MENTION of WHY she didn't join him in St. Lucia. She even says, at one point, "I wish I had," and it's lousy because I know they don't want Rayna to be mopey but COME ON. DEACON. There is no way she forgot Deacon like this. You were free and clear to be together after 20 years, and now he knows you had his child, and you're just all sunshine and posies and slow-developing amnesia? If the show is going to ignore her role in any of this, why even bother? ## Peggy ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6742-1024x768.xml) Peggy is still pretending she's pregnant. Let's skip these two fools: Teddy wants no part of the baby's life, until Deacon inspires him to Be A Better Man, and then he and Peggy make out. Except that this baby still doesn't technically EXIST, so it's going to be awkward when all the couch cushions start disappearing up her blouse. ## Cowboy Chris Carmack ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6745-1024x768.xml) Edgehill's stylist tricks out CCC in Tim McGraw black, and he's pretty pleased with himself. Somewhere Kellan Lutz picks up a phone and calls to see if he needs an evil magician twin. ## Scarlett ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6749-1024x768.xml) Scarlett has never seen clothes that she didn't steal off the back of someone on a hayride, so naturally all these sequins freak her out. ## CCC and Zoey ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6751-1024x768.xml) CCC convinces Zoey to come as his date to the Edgehill concert -- this record label throws an awful lot of parties and shows; maybe they should save some money -- except this manifests as her actually being Scarlett's plus-one, because he's bringing Gunnar, and they can all ride in a limo together. Zoey accepts, because she's a terrible friend. ## Zoey and Scarlett ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6755-1024x768.xml) This is Zoey realizing she's a terrible friend, and Scarlett says, "S'alrt, I'll e faaahn," which I believe is Kling-On for "You are a terrible friend." ## Gunnar ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6765-1024x768.xml) Gunnar is working a lot of conflicting things here. Much like his inner life. There was a whole Hey Sexy Lady reveal of Scarlett here, panning up from boot to boobs to head, but it made for bad screen grabs. So you're going to have to wait. I know. I'm cruel. I promise it doesn't involve crocheted daisies. ## Rayna ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6752-1024x768.jpg) Rayna gets out her cleavage for lunch with Oliver Hudson, who offers up cheesy fake-apologies for stealing Will and tries to clamber on board the Rayna Jaymes bandwagon once more. She smiles along with it and then gets all fearful when he asks her to sing at the party. She tells Liam later that it's because she can't sing, because yada yada throat tube yada vocal cords. She says this with all the emotion of a person who is announcing that she can't use dryer sheets anymore. Connie Britton has seemed SO BORED these last two episodes. I'm concerned. ## Gunnar and CCC ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6754-1024x768.jpg) CCC has been asked to play something new at the party, and he doesn't have anything because he is, per last week, just a performer. He pretends to be doing Gunnar a favor by asking to "try out" one of his songs, and Gunnar sees through it and says no, except rudely, because he's a doucherod. Seriously, he's rude to CCC in every single scene, even when CCC is being nice. And he's all cherries and puppies with Scarlett, who is snippy with HIM. Maybe Gunnar thrives on the ill will of others. ## Deacon and Coleman ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6753-1024x768.jpg) The show is writing out Coleman by having him move away from Nashville, but before he goes, he pops by an AA meeting to drop thoughts in Deacon's ear like COME TO TERMS WITH YOUR OWN FATHER. Deacon is an ass about it until the point in the episode where he's expected to turn on his brain lamp, and then suddenly he's visiting Teddy to say he won't lay claim to Maddie. Teddy is super crabby at Deacon -- for real, every scene on this show is Person A Is Trying To Be Nice and Person B Is Really Not Having It. Teddy does tell Deacon that Maddie will be watching his every move for the rest of their lives. Deacon thanks Teddy for all he's done and says that "a lesser man wouldn't have done that," and Teddy pointedly spits, "A lesser man DIDN'T." SCORE ONE FOR TEDDY. Finally, in life's grand tally, his goose egg has hatched. ## Deacon ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6788-1024x768.jpg) And then Deacon goes to AA and gives a speech about how his father beat his mother and whooped his sister (Mama Scarlett, whom we haven't met), and told Deacon that when he grew up they'd be the same. And Deacon is like, "And we are, except that I would never hurt a child." Which to me also demands the clarification, "And also I never broke a woman's nose," but he's not too fussed about the details, because this scene is all about Making Himself Right For Maddie, and not about That Lady Who Had Maddie Whose Name He Can't Remember Because Whatever. ## Juliette ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6769-1024x768.jpg) And she's off singing at Millionaire Charlie's house, in an dress whose ego is writing checks its designer can't cash. ## Layla ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6776-1024x768.xml) And Layla is incinerating on the sixth circle of Hell, licking her lips over CCC and wearing a dress that looks like Laura Ingalls found a sewing machine and a Wet Seal gift card. ## Rayna ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6782-1024x768.jpg) Off-stage, Rayna is into legs and skirts and wedges, but on it? Still metallic pants, y'all. I hope she gets good DirecTV reception in that rut. Instead of performing, as expected, Rayna waxes poetic about Scarlett... ## Scarlett ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2013/10/IMG_6787-1024x768.jpg) ... who tromps on-stage dressed like Avril Lavigne's protege, she's all set to star in her own ballet, *Wan Lake*, about the efficacy of her attempts to be interesting. That stylist would NEVER have had this on her clothes rack. ## Gunnar ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6775-1024x768.xml) Gunnar is happy for Scarlett, sort of, and then CCC performs and announces he's doing a song by Nashville's hottest songwriter: Gunnar. And Gunnar is all hurty inside. And outside. He's a walking blister. He tells Scarlett, kindly, that it's hard to see them both up there, and her sensitive, layered response is basically, "Huh." So G and Zoey end up alone and decide to leave together. This will end in yet more huffyness from the Madam, I suspect. You can take the crunch out of her hair, but NOT FROM HER SOUL. ## Rayna and Liam ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6794-1024x768.xml) These two toast Rayna sticking it to the man, via having Scarlett sing instead of her. Said man, Oliver Hudson, is not thrilled to have it stuck to him. And he intimates to Rayna that he knows other things are going on -- and at some point, he mutters to his assistant, "Who does she think she is," and the assistant goes, "Someone who clearly doesn't know who YOU are." Which means: war. Aw. How about a nice game of chess? ## Juliette ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6779-1024x768.xml) Avery overheard Juliette telling Charlie Billionaire that Avery is not her boyfriend but rather "on the payroll," and he's offended that they're not actually friends. Juliette reacts poorly to this truth, and Avery offers up another: that she refuses to let people in and that it's her own choice to be that way. He thinks they were never friends, which is true if you consider that neither of them told the other to buy more anti-frizz. She threatens to fire him if he doesn't shut up, which he figures proves his point. He even leaves without telling her to brush her hair, which is way harsh, Tai. ## Juliette and Charlie ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6797-1024x768.xml) Naturally, Charlie Billionaire ends up ramming his tongue down Juliette's throat. She's all horrified until he points out that he's SUPER unavailable on account of being married, and this -- matched with her quoting Avery's accusation that she's closed-off -- is a tidy enough piece of logic to make her want to damage herself even further. So off they go to Funkytown. Poor Hand-Towel Rack. All she wanted was a concert and maybe some fresher linens. [Fug the Show: Nashville recap, season 2, episode 3Listen show. We were promised MAKEOVERS for Scarlett and Will (sort of) and even though certain things looked better, I expected a MONTAGE, y'all. With a dramatic reveal that involved new hair. DON'T TEASE ME SO.![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_6710-1024x768.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-the-show-nashville-episode-3-3-10-2013/)
