Be careful what you wish for you,Brooklyn Nine-Ninefans.
We were like that once, right?
Full of plucky hope and dreams.
Gazing hopefully into the horizon.
And then CMT KILLED RAYNA and everything just went to hell.
But here we are.
Down the homestretch, but for real this time.
A weird thing about these final episodes ofNashvilleis that I dont even know what I want anymore.
I consider this a flaw with the show, not some personal deficiency.
I am a person who generally wants things.
But honestly, what do I want here?
Beyond that, Im not craving anything specific.
For example, theres not a single romantic relationship that Im truly invested in.
(In case you missed my last recap, Javery is dead to me.)
I guess they have eight episodes to get me reinvested.
Good luck,Nashvillewriters!
We pick up right where we left off, shortly after the talent down!
Everyone thinks Will had a heart attack, but its actually the fancy-sounding mitochondrial infection.
We learn this because Wills improbably shaggy-haired, bearded doctor tells us, making me think spinoff?
Is CMT about to dropNashville M.D.?
But beyond that, Wills bandmates seem much more concerned about his physical state than his mental one.
without addressing the underlying reason his heart nearly sploded.
At least Scarlett sees through Wills cheerful, unbothered demeanor.
But her solution is that Will should write songs.
I suppose theres some therapeutic value in that.
(By the way, wasnt he running for, like, Congress at some point?
I guess he lost in the primary.)
Deacon is apologizing for some apparent bad behavior.
And Jessie is all, I get why you did what you did.
And Deacons like, Yeah, but I shouldnt have done what I did.
WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO?!
Impulsive Deacon slamming Brad up against a wall.
Brad twirling his mustache and sneering, Did you just assault me?
That Deacon has a history of arrests for drunk and disorderly conduct is not helping matters.
First of all, dude broke down a door.
That seems like a prelude to violence.
Second of all, just look at him.
My free suggestion to the beleaguered couple: Hire a private detective.
Ill bet you dollars to doughnuts that Brad has a boatload of shady stuff in his past.
(Also, I just like saying dollars to doughnuts.)
Meanwhile, Deacon has to fix his own damn house before trying to save Jessies.
(Okay, that last one is pretty wholesome.)
(Its not his sister.)
He pulls her aside.
You think I dont know what a hangover looks like?
(Lol nice try trying to play the playah, Maddie.)
She makes some excuse, but hes not having it.
There is a family hug and its super emotional and I refuse to be moved by this manipulative crap.
(JK, cried like a baby.)
Finally, lets get real about the whole Gunnar-Avery-Alannah situation because I have somegripes.
We have eight episodes left and theyre focusing on this rando?
Look, Im sorry.
He wanted to start a fight with Avery?
What show am I watching?
The clock is ticking.
