03x10 - First to Have a Second Chance

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Nashville"...

Hey I can't find you, so I go head of home.

We to are not together anymore, we are just friends.

Tell Micah that I love him, okay?

Kiley Have you talked with Micah grandparents yet?

I hope that they get back to me soon.

They're prostitutes?

Well, I think they prefer the term "escorts".

Just put this on my tab?

Not this time.

My ex texted me.

And my single's about him.

And then he asked for his cut.

Everything you said in that article is true.

I've never been able to let go of you.

Why won't you?

Because I love you.

[Cheers and applause]

Y'all give it up for my good friends Mr. Deacon Claybourne, Mr. Will Lexington!

[Cheers and applause]

Thank you, Memphis!

Thanks for being our last stop on the moon or shine tour!

The next time I come through, I'm gonna have my wife, Rayna Jaymes, in tow!

Love y'all. Wheels up.

Hey, I'm gonna miss you out there on the next leg of this tour.

That's very kind, but I tell you what...

If I never hear "wheels up" again, it'll be too damn soon.

I know we've had our differences, but I really appreciate you coming out on tour with me.

All right, y'all, let's get out of here.

I got people waiting for me in Nashville.

It's beautiful, mom.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks for coming over tonight.

Oh, no worries.

I know you've been on the road for the past two weeks.

And, from what I can see, we just take it in a little bit right here, it'll be perfect.

It is perfect.

Hi! [Laughs]

Oh, I missed you guys!

I am so excited.

Oh, honey, you look beautiful.

All right, I'm gonna go take this dress off.

Y'all need to get to bed.

No.

Mom!

You have all day tomorrow with aunt Tandy.

I'm coming right up, all right?

Yes, you are.

Let's get out of here.

Anything else you got to grab before we go?

Woman: Hey, great show, Deacon! Well, they got all my gear, but, uh, if I get a couple bags, we can just go.

Okay. So, what's the plan? We just get on the road home?

Actually, with all the hoopla going on back in Nashville, I was thinking about maybe just checking in to the Peabody, staying a couple days in Memphis.

I'll stay in Memphis with you.

You do not have to do that, all right?

I know you got better things to do.

Nope. That way, you can't mope around all weekend.

I'm not gonna mope.

I'm fully aware of the moping you're capable of.

Jeff: Hey. Got to show you something.

What's up?

So, you're the lead story on, uh, downtown this week.

It's an online magazine.

I know what it is.

Now, it's just allegations, but...

So we sue them...

For libel or slander or whatever it is you sue people for.

You ready to commit perjury?

W- what am I supposed to do... Just ignore it?

No, you make it absurd.

You play up the side of yourself we want people focused on.

Flirt with a groupie. I don't know.

Go get drunk at a bar with girls.

Get groped in front of photographers is what you mean.

Hey, rumors have a way of following you forever unless you nip them in the bud.

Butch it up.

[Door opens]

I loved your dress.

You do?

Uh-huh.

Oh, good.

I had picked something a little more... modern.

We had all these issues with paparazzi.

And, you know, Luke is a traditional guy.

You don't have to sell me on the dress. I love it.

Thank you.

So, are you all ready for the big day? Yeah.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm. Think so.

And you don't think that Deacon's gonna do, like, a last-minute...

No, he was pretty upset with that Rolling Stone article.

So I haven't talked to him in a couple weeks.

You happy?

Yeah.

Good.

Because that dress is a huge improvement over your last wedding dress.

Oh, my gosh.

What were we thinking with the off-the-shoulder and the big pouf?

The '90s were cruel.

The hair was a good height, though.

Wow. These are so tiny.

As impossible as it is to believe, based on this, they actually come out little.

What are we gonna do when she gets here?

What do you mean?

It's not like we can shuttle a newborn back and forth between your place and mine.

Right.

Probably shouldn't, anyway.

Yeah.

Maybe you should just move in for a little bit.

Guest room's empty.

Unless you have a better idea.

No. Uh...

I don't.

Actually...

[Chuckles]

Is that...

Your old key.

What are we gonna tell her...

About us?

We'll tell her she came from a place of love and her parents became great friends.

Okay, buck.

All right. I'll talk to you. Bye.

That's a nice piece of hardware.

Yeah. This time, I'm platinum.

Bucky brought that by yesterday as a little early wedding gift.

You said you'd do it, and you did it.

It is kind of astonishing what we were able to do.

It blows my mind sometimes.

Mm-hmm.

'Course, now it's the Luke and Rayna show all the time.

That was Bucky on the phone.

They want to extend our honeymoon tour by six months...

All stadiums, at least 50,000 seats a night.

That's incredible.

Yeah, but I was very clear when I started this thing...

One year, and then I'm out.

I want to go back to life as usual.

Well, with all the changes in your life, maybe it's time to reconsider what "back to life as usual" looks like.

All right, Micah, let's go. School starts in 10 minutes.

What if I didn't go to school today?

And what if you did go to school?

Come on. Go grab your backpack.

Whoa! Hey!

All right, all right. That's it. [Laughs]

No use. Ha! I got you.

[Both laughing]

[Sighs]

Grandma! Grandpa!

Randy: Howdy, squirt!

[Straining] Oh! Look at you!

You got a foot taller since last time we saw you.

Mr. and Mrs. Brenner. Uh, uh, hi.

W- what are y'all doing in Nashville?

After we got your call, we talked it over, and we thought that we'd take a road trip.

Uh, that's great.

[Chuckles]

Buddy, we got to go. Backpack, lunch... now.

Man.

Oh, come on. I'll help you out, bud.

Uh, come in.

Gunnar, we're very grateful that you stepped up for Micah after our daughter...

Disappeared?

[Sighs]

We came here as quickly as we could get all the paperwork together.

Anything you bought for Micah, we can reimburse you.

[Chuckles] Wait.

W- what are you talking about? What is this?

We're Micah's legal guardians.

And in that court order, it says that we're taking him back to Texas.

Nashville S03E10

204 guests tonight and 516 guests for the wedding.

Contract says it's the exclusive right to print the photos.

Look, for the money your magazine's paying us, we'll approve two photographers for the weekend.

It's not really my forte, but, uh, I think we might have...

Hey, darling, look, hey, we have room for Tim and Faith at our table, don't we?

Uh...

I thought we were gonna have the kids at our table.

Well, we are sitting with the kids tonight, but tomorrow, we are getting married!

[Both laugh]

Um... I don't know.

Here, look. Let's... Come talk to me for a second.

Okay.

So, Bucky told me about this whole idea of the extended tour.

Yeah, it's great, isn't it?

It is. It's great. It's a great opportunity, all that.

But, you know, honey, I told the girls that we would be one year, and that's it.

So... I'm a little torn.

I get it.

You do?

Yeah. [Chuckles]

I thought you were gonna try to talk me into it. Really?

Listen, do I want to do it? Yes.

But if we're gonna do it, I want you to want to do it, too.

So just talk to your girls. There's no rush.

You are a very understanding man.

Oh. Thank you.

Now, will you help me figure out this Tim-and-Faith thing?

[Th laugh]

How n they just show up here a-and take him away?

I'm his father. How can they give them custody?

It's guardianship, not custody.

Now, they may have a return order signed by a Texas judge, but we're in Tennessee.

So we can fix it, right?

Well, as the biologic father, you have rights.

Now, sit down. Breathe.

The kid's mom is Me. I.A.?

Yeah. Last I heard, she was in Tulsa.

She changed her phone number, won't call any of us.

Well, here's what we'll do.

I'll set up an emergency hearing in family court.

Now, being that it's custody of a minor at play, we'll go to the front of the line and likely see a judge tomorrow.

Well, that's great. Pater now, this is a lab at Vanderbilt.

They'll fast-track a DNA test.

They'll just need a cheek swab or a hair sample from booth you.

You don't even need to take Micah in.

Well, I'll go right away.

In the meantime, make nice with the grandparents.

This whole situation gets a lot more complicated if it's contentious.

I'll let you know the minute I hear anything from the lab.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Absolutely.

It's nice to see you.

I know you've been, um...

Well, it's... It's been a while.

Since the CMAs.

Yeah. Since... that happened.

The freebie?

That did kind of surprise me.

You know, it probably makes the most sense if that was just a one-time thing.

Yeah, we don't want lines getting blurry.

No, it's, um...

It's good that we both agree on that.

Well...

Now that we've got that settled...

So, this is all for some ducks.

These are the Peabody ducks. You heard the man.

1940, a bellhop taught them to march into a fountain.

They've been doing it twice a day ever since.

Didn't know you were so enamored with waterfowl.

[Laughs]

Your grandma used to bring us here on vacation, once a year for just one night.

Tell you what... your mama loved these ducks so much.

They used to make her so happy.

I'm glad something did.

Oh. Sorry.

Sir?

Oh. Thanks.

You all right?

Yeah.

Man: All right, duckies. Here they come.

Very nice.

[Scarlett laughing] And up! Up!

[Ducks quacking] Oh, very nice.

And well done, duckies! Very nice!

Ladies and gentlemen, the march of the Peabody ducks!

It's all right. I'm a friend of hers.

What are you doing here, Pete?

Oh. Well, that's all I get after five years?

No "hello, how are you"?

I've been following all your success, want to congratulate you in person.

Come here.

Oh, no. You shouldn't have.

How's misty?

Melanie.

Oh, yeah.

It ended.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I thought you and I should talk about your songs I've been hearing on the radio.

That one... "You can't stop me"?

Ooh!

Sounds an awful lot like a song you and I wrote together when we were married.

You can't have driven all the way from Virginia to attempt to claim any of my success.

You got our house and our dog, and you got your freedom.

So I would say that you and I are evens, don't you think?

Uh, I can... I can come back later.

No, that's all right. Pete's just leaving.

This isn't over.

Hey, buddy.

Let's get to work.

Well, hey, stranger.

Layla: Hi. Welcome home.

[Cellphone chimes] Thank you.

Oh, it's gonna be nice to have a couple weeks of downtime before I have to hit the road again.

I don't even remember what it's like not to live out of a suitcase.

How you been?

Good. And you?

Eh, you know.

I've been thinking, uh...

Gets kind of lonely out on the road.

Wha... uh, I'm sorry. What were you saying?

Oh, just next time I go out, maybe you should come with me.

We start in Australia.

What do you think?

[Sighs] Um...

I've hardly seen you in the past few months.

You just walked in the door, and now you want to take me out on the road with you?

Could be fun.

I mean, we're... friends now, right?

Uh, I just don't really want to leave Nashville right now, you know?

Who you texting with?

Oh...

Wait. Have you met somebody?

No.

Nobody that you know.

[Singsong voice] Here we go.

Are you excited?

Yeah. Are y'all excited?

Yes.

Yes.

A wedding is a big deal.

Then we're off to Australia afterwords.

I know. I am so excited for that.

You know, they Ted to make a proposal that we would extend the tour another six months?

And I told them, "no, thank you. "

Why? It sounds like a great idea.

Really?

Yeah, we're so happy for you, and we want you to keep chasing your dreams.

Well, that's nice, but...

Uh, six months is a long time, you know.

I mean, that's half a ye.

You know, maybe we could go to boarding school.

Since when do you want to go to boarding school?

I mean, we've talked about it for a while. You just haven't really been around.

I mean, colt and sage go, and they think it's, like, the best thing ever.

Yeah, and the school they go to... hn horse.

And, I mean, if we want to visit you, Luke can just fly us there on his private jet.

[Laughing] No.

Come on, y'all.

Wouldn't you miss home?

Wouldn't you miss everybody? I'd miss you.

We'd visit, just like colt and sage do.

Honestly, I mean, no one's really been around that much.

Deacon's been on tour.

And even dad's been, like, super-busy lately.

Wee not babies anymore, mom.

I know. I'm just really surprised.

I mean, we've never even talked about boarding school.

So, can we?

Luke called, and there's two openings in januar...

When did you talk to Luke about it?

Last week.

[Scoffs]

Sure would have liked to have been a part of that conversation.

You are now. [Chuckles]

Nobody's going to boarding school.

[Music stops]

All right. We're, uh, gonna lay your vocal down now.

Thank you.

I love that guitar part so much.

It's exactly what the song needed.

It's a great song.

About a not-so-great guy.

The guy who was here?

My ex-husband.

Married at 19, divorced at 25.

I'm sorry.

No. I'm not.

He just wasn't my guy.

Yeah, I get that.

What about you and Juliette?

She just not your girl?

Uh, that wasn't really our problem. [Chuckles]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry.

It's just easier to talk about other people's crap [chuckling] Rather than your own crap. It's okay. It's okay.

No, we just, uh, disagreed on how she handled...

Something.

Is that hard with a baby coming?

Yeah.

I mean, we're trying to be friends or whatever.

Oof. It is so hard to be friends with an ex.

You know, there's a reason why you break up, and that just doesn't go away.

And now I'm talking about myself again.

[Laughing] I'm so sorry.

You two are gonna figure it out. You're gonna be fine.

Yeah.

I'm gonna... Go see how they're doing.

[Dance music playing]

[Indistinct conversations]

I'm gonna say hi to some people. Can you get the drinks?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Will Lexington?

Yeah.

Delissa Birch.

Hi.

I write freelance for a couple of country-music websites.

I think you're great.

You know, "what if I was willing" is one of my favorite songs.

Well, thank you. It's nice to meet you.

You too.

Luke: Hey.

Hey.

My girl ready to head out?

Yeah. Why didn't you call me back?

Didn't realize I missed a call.

Four missed calls from you. What's up?

You sending my girls to boarding school now?

What are you talking about?

Well, I would just appreciate, in the future, if you're gonna have a conversation with them about their education, that I be a part of that.

Now, hold on a second.

It came up randomly last week when I took them to dinner with colt and sage.

But I'm still their mother.

And I just feel that all this...

This wedding and me being on the road...

Has really had an impact on them.

We just had a camera crew in our house for Christmas.

And now they're talking about flying everywhere on private planes and going to boarding school.

My kids go.

I mean, it's a way for me to give them some stability, considering how crazy our lives are.

I told you from the beginning, babe, I don't want our lives to be that kind of crazy.

Okay, okay. I am sorry. All right?

I- I shouldn't have talked to them without you.

I really am sorry, babe.

Hey.

Let's enjoy tonight, okay?

Okay.

These places are all good, girl. What are you looking for?

You got to get the Luke Wheeler tour off your back.

There's got to be a karaoke joint around here somewhere.

[Chuckles] I'm not singing karaoke.

You are. I'll back you up.

You?

Oh, one minute, it's nashfest. Now you're singing karaoke?

Shut up. No, I like it.

I'm glad to see you getting out there.

I just got to figure out what I want to do and who I want to do it with, you know?

Like maybe some ex-writer friend of yours whose girlfriend just left town?

You trying to ask about Gunnar?

'Cause if you're asking about Gunnar, ask about Gunnar.

Okay, I'm asking about Gunnar.

Nothing there. Just... I don't know.

Between our personal history and Zoey, it's kind of like we had our chance, and we missed it.

You know what I mean?

Oh.

I think I might.

Forward, not back.

Oh, look.

No.

Yeah.

No. Scarlett, no...

Well, I think you have a very nice room.

And it's way bigger than the one at your house.

[Chuckling] Hey, size doesn't matter, buddy.

It's just nice we all get to be here together, sharing a meal, right?

Yeah.

Linda: You're boiling over.

What?

You're boiling over! Oh!

You have to take it off the fire.

I'll do it.

Oh. Thanks.

I'm still mastering the fine art of cooking here.

Can always order pizza, right?

You can't just stuff children with junk food all the time.

No, that's... That's not what I meant.

Can't you just please go? I'll take care of it.

Yeah.

Go.

[Dance music playing]

Hey, man.

So, I've been trying to figure out your angle all night, but I can't come up with anything.

[Chuckles] What are you talking about?

You've been with my wife.

And I know you don't like her, so you must be working some kind of angle on me.

You got it wrong, man.

Yeah. Yes.

We had a thing.

A thing. Once.

It just... happened.

[Laughs]

Look, hey, I thought I was doing you a favor, all right?

I mean, clearly, she's not getting it at home, so I figured that, you know, better she be getting it from me than some stranger that we can't control, right?

Jeff, you told me I had a problem that I was supposed to deal with.

The way I plan on dealing with it is by bringing Layla out on the road with me.

Well, then... So take her.

She won't go!

All this flirting, all this texting, whatever else it is you guys are doing has made this "thing" real in her head.

So, whatever you got to say to convince her to go with me, I suggest you say it... Tonight.

I feel like I'm on the red carpet at my own rehearsal dinner.

We're all set.

Thank you. Thank you.

Appreciate it.

So, people magazine, huh?

Yeah, well, it's practically paying for the wedding.

Okay, I debated on whether or not to actually do this, but I got you just a little, tiny something.

We said "no gifts. "

I know, but this is not a gift, exactly.

So, the end of that whole "something old, something new" thing is "a silver sixpence in her shoe. "

Yeah, nobody really ever says that part, but it's supposed to bring you good luck.

Thank you!

I may be divorced, but I am still romantic.

That's very sweet.

[Laughs] I'm so glad you like it.

There are a lot of people here.

I don't know most of them.

Sorry to interrupt. Can I borrow my bride for a bit?

Of course.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Isn't this great?

It's a lot.

[Laughing] Yeah.

[Dance music playing]

[Indistinct conversations]

Hey, you.

Been trying to catch you alone all night.

[Sighs]

Hey.

Yeah, this isn't a good idea.

Are you drunk?

Everyone's drunk, which means no one's paying attention to us.

No. No, this...

So you don't have to be so paranoid.

This isn't a good idea, no matter what state everyone's in, all right?

I thought we had a good thing the other night.

We did. But...

Look, I know it's weird.

You're the head of my label, and...

[Chuckling] And I'm a lot younger than you.

Uh, I-I just mean I didn't...

I didn't expect to like you, but... I do.

Look, don't blow this out of proportion, babe.

No! No, don't "babe" me!

Don't act like this is all in my head!

Sure. Whatever. Okay, look, we... we clicked for a night, but it's not like it was ever gonna be something more, Layla.

You are married.

W- we all know who and what Will is.

Yes... one of my biggest artists.

And you should be on the road with him.

Wait. Are you doing this because Will told you to?

He doesn't want me, but I can't be happy with anybody else?

Layla... don't let him do this to us.

Don't let him ruin a good thing.

Hey, hey, hey!

There is no "us. "

No, you... you can't be that... That good of a liar.

Layla...

I- I don't believe you.

Hey, calm down, okay? This is a party.

Everyone's having a good time.

Here. [Pills rattle]

Take a few of these.

They'll take the edge off.

Party's downstairs.

I thought maybe we could have our own party up here.

[Laughs]

Yeah, I'm married.

I've been watching your wife with Jeff Fordham all night.

Y'all have some kind of understanding?

Look, you're a very pretty girl.

I'm sure if we got to know each other...

No, don't do that.

Y... seriously... I'm not interested.

So the rumors are true.

What rumors?

The ones that say Will Lexington isn't very interested in ladies.

[Inhales sharply]

[Moans]

Oh. I'll go with you.

No. No. You're having fun.

You stay right here. I don't want to ruin that.

And we got to go to the CMA awards, and I got this special big ticket for it.

It's upstairs. I'll show you.

Can I be excused?

Uh, yeah.

[Chuckles]

He's getting all A's at school, and he wants to play drums in band. [Chuckles]

That's all very nice.

Can we stop playing this game now?

Randy: Linda.

You're taking us to family court tomorrow.

You want us to be okay with Micah staying here?

I mean, I got this big house.

I- I got a career that's going places.

You can stop trying to impress us, because you're not going to.

We know who you are.

And who is that, exactly?

The first time we saw you was in the back of a police car after you and your brother got picked up for vandalizing.

We're not gonna let you ruin Micah's life like you ruined Kiley's.

Now, hold on.

I didn't even know she was pregnant, 'cause y'all just disappeared without telling me 10 years ago.

I didn't have the chance to do the right thing.

You wouldn't know the right thing if it fell in your lap.

I'm not that confused, mixed-up kid anymore.

No.

Now you're a confused, mixed-up single father.

Yeah... Micah's father.

So, with all due respect, if you don't like the way I'm doing it, there's the door.

Are you kicking us out?

Now, you listen to me. Linda...

No.

Yes, you listen to me.

You listen to...

Linda, come on.

Guess we'll see you in court.

[Sighs]

[Door closes]

Mom, Luke, we are so happy for you guys, honestly.

And this is our wedding gift to you.

How's Juliette?

The baby's great.

Juliette's...

Fine, I guess.

What does that mean?

I don't know. [Sighs]

Stuff's... Weird between us.

It's just hard to be friends.

Darling, even if you don't have a relationship with her, you can have a relationship with your daughter.

That's all that really matters.

[Water running]

[Cellphone chimes]

We have a good time together.

Yeah. Yeah, we do.

[Chuckles]

Maybe...

We should make it a more formal arrangement.

[Both chuckle]

What do you mean?

I mean, two days a week, I could be all yours.

We could hang out and talk, make dinner, do... Other adult things.

[Chuckles]

Are you trying to sell me the girlfriend experience?

What?

I don't think we should do this anymore.

I... Don't understand.

I mean, it doesn't have to be the girlfriend experience.

It could be whatever experience you want it to be.

It's just that...

My ex-wife is getting remarried.

And I-I didn't have anyone else to call to talk to about it but you.

And I'm paying you for it.

[Sighs]

And you know what? That's just...

That's just messed up.

[Techno music playing]

[Crying]

[Clears throat]

Hey, buddy. What's wrong?

I heard you fighting with grandma and grandpa.

[Sighs]

What's gonna happen to me? Do I have to leave again?

No. I'm gonna take care of it, okay?

And you. 'Cause we're a team.

[Cellphone ringing]

All right, you go upstairs, get into bed.

I'm gonna take this, and I'll come tuck you in, okay?

Okay. All right.

Hey.

Dave: Sorry to call so late.

I just got the rush results from the lab, and I figured you'd want to know right away.

Yeah. Thanks. [Chuckles]

The results show that, um...

Micah's not your son.

What do you mean?

Kiley and I were together 10 years ago.

She told me Micah was mine.

I'm looking at the DNA results myself, Gunnar.

He's definitely not yours.

And there's more.

What?

Tandy: Those girls are wired.

[Sighs]

They miss their aunt Tandy.

I miss them.

I did think I was gonna miss you, but you're everywhere...

Cover of Rolling Stone, CMAs, "Dancing with the Stars. "

You're gonna be on that Christmas special.

Oh, please.

What? You hit the stratosphere.

I don't recognize my life anymore.

Yeah.

Well, you know, it's a lot of changes.

You wanted to build up your company, and you did it.

I don't know how much of this really has to do with my company.

Or maybe it does.

I don't know anymore what's me or what's Luke or what's Layna or Ruke or whatever the hell.

All the press and the...

This runaway tour and...

But the worst part is, I just feel so completely...

Out of touch with my girls.

Sweetie, what's going on?

I just want to make sure it's my life I'm living.

This is night-before-the-wedding jitters.

Just focus on the love...

The way that he looks at you, the way he talks to you.

You love him.

That's enough.

Hey, I'm back. You up? You...

Deacon.

Hey.

What did you do?

What did you do?!

[Grunts] Hey! Wake up!

Come on! Wake up!

Deacon, wake up!

[Voice breaking] Uh... um...

Oh. [Sniffles]

911. What's your emergency?

Deacon, wake up!

I need an ambulance at the Peabody hotel.

It's room 314.

My Uncle's passed out. I can't wake him up.

Hey. What you got there?

[Sighs] Just more boxes from mom.

You okay?

[Sighs]

No.

I'm not.

Look, I-I... [Sighs]

I can't do this anymore, Juliette.

I thought we could be friends for the sake of the baby.

Avery, please.

Believe me, I...

I've tried, but it's impossible.

It doesn't work.

What do you want to do?

I...

I- I want you to marry me.

What?

Just say "yes. "

Yes.

[Laughs]

Yes.

[Sighs]

I don't even care how you found out where I live.

I just want you gone.

Well, I thought I made myself clear.

I'm here to get what's mine.

[Chuckling] You know what? You do that.

You get your fancy lawyer, and you take me to court.

But you should know I'm not that scared little girl I was 10 years ago.

So you can try and bully me, but your time would be better spent just getting the hell off my porch.

Drive safe.

All right.

You seen Layla?

Last I saw, she was looking for you.

Hey, by the way, I did what you said.

I think she heard me.

Good.

[Sighs]

Layla!

Call 911.

Someone call 911!

[Indistinct shouting]

Call 911!

Get an ambulance!

[Cellphone vibrating]

Layla, can you hear me?

Teddy: Jeff? What time is it?

I'm really glad we're friends, buddy, 'cause I've got a small problem, and I'm gonna need your help handling it.

[Coughs]

[Inhales deeply]

Hi.

[Monitor beeping]

Where are we?

We're in the hospital.

It's okay.

It's all right. Leave it there.

What happened?

You were face down on the floor when I came back, and, um, you wouldn't wake up.

So we came here.

I'm sorry. It's okay.

Um...

I hate to ask, but...

The minibar...

No. I wasn't drinking.

I know how upset you were about Luke and Rayna.

I told you I wasn't feeling good. I went back.

I... Took something for my headache, and I was...

I was just headed to bed. I wasn't drinking.

He wasn't drinking.

Your tox screen was clean.

But your blood panel was a different story.

Unfortunately, we have something more serious to talk about.

Woman: 18 kegs of beer.

Luke: 18 kegs of beer? We're gonna need...

We gonna need more than that, darling.

[Laughs] Excuse me one second.

Babe. [Laughs]

I'm not supposed to see you before the wedding.

What the hell are you doing here?

I've been up all night thinking about us.

Yeah, me too. [Chuckles]

Honey, I made a terrible mistake.

What are you talking about?

I can't marry you.

I want to...

But I can't.

I keep making the same mistakes over and over again in my life.

And it's a cycle, and I've got to break it, and I've got to take responsibility for my actions.

"Take responsibility"? Right.

I can't do to you what I did to Teddy.

Don't do this. I'm not Teddy.

[Voice breaking] I know. I know.

But I'm not Deacon, either, am I?

It's... it's Deacon, but it's not Deacon.

[Sniffles]

It's me. It's who I've... I've always been.

It's who I need to be.

I love you, Rayna. [Crying]

I love you, too.

And I can't make you a casualty of my life.

You don't deserve that.

Been a hell of a lot easier we'd just gone through with it and dissolved it after the fact.

I'm sorry.

[Crying] I'm sorry, and I pray you're gonna forgive me...

I'd like you to get the hell off my property.

[Sobbing]

Scarlett: Look, would you just make the appointment?

This is not a damaged nerve in your wrist.

You heard what she said.

Undiagnosed cirrhosis of the liver with extremely elevated white-blood-cell count strongly pointing to cancer.

How'd I do?

They don't know that it's cancer yet.

You know, it's funny.

Everybody always told me my drinking was gonna k*ll me.

Turns out they were right.

You are not going to die.

I don't want anyone to know.

[Knock on door]

What happened?

Micah's grandparents showed up.

And they wanted to take him away.

And I had to do a paternity test.

Micah's not mine.

I- I thought Kiley told you that...

The test did say that...

We're related.

Kiley cheated on me with my brother.

He's... He's...

He's Jason's.

[Crying]

Do you have the rings?

By the power vested in me by the state of Tennessee, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
