It seems like theNashvillewriters had a real, Oh my God!
We left the baby on the bus!
(To wit: Gunnar has not one, but two conversations with hisguitarthis episode.)
Gunnar is feeling adrift girlfriendless, bandless, plotless.
He tries to write a song but the only lyrics he comes up with are, Im a douchebag.
Cant write a thing.
(I think it has potential.)
He complains to Will about his blockage and Will is all, Screw you!
I had a heart attack, do you see me bitching?
(JK, hes as friendly and accommodating as ever.)
Oops, how wrong I was.
And, in an unexpected move, Gunnar decides to channel a cross between Sid Vicious and Will Lexington.
But wait, theres more!
Theres an actual scene between Gunnar and Scarlett!
Anyway, more on the benefit concert in a bit.
Lets check in with Maddie.
Shes moping in bed and Daphne brings her a coffee, which is just adorable.
Maddie takes a sip and says, appreciatively, Is there vanilla ice cream in this?
Jonah and Twig keep calling Maddie and Maddie keeps letting it go to voicemail.
Eventually, Jonah gives up, because thats the kind of guy he is.
But Twig is persistent.
Im not going to go!
he says to Jonah, dropping the luggage.
Im done being your bitch.
Big mistake, Jonah shouts.
Enjoy working at the Piggy Wiggly.
And with that, A Boy Called Twig is finally free.
Shes clearly cooking up some sort of sting operation.
She even confides her plan to Deacon, although its whispered in his ear,Lost in Translationstyle.
And we met at the absolute perfect wrong time.
But then later she phones him?
Girl is a walking pile of contradictions.
Really enjoying that continued plotline!
Juliette is still gunning for the Movement for Coherent Philosophy.
Somehow, she has managed to exfiltrate Rosa and her young son from Bolivia.
Shes like freaking Amnesty International.
No one on this godforsaken show seems to know how to use a thermometer.
Then when they finally do take her temperature, they put the thermometerunder her tongue.
Shes a TODDLER, for Petes sake.
I am getting exasperated.
Okay, lets finish this thing: Cadence is burning up!
Avery and Juliette take her to the hospital.
But its no big deal, just a touch of the baby pneumonia.
(Seriously, they seem very chill about the whole thing.)
Sitting vigil at Cadences bedside, Avery and Juliette hold hands and touch heads.
Weve been through a lot, havent we?
kindly note the title of the episode: I Dont Want to Lose You Yet.
Avery doesnt want to lose Juliette!
(Shut up, I know I once said I didnt want Javery to be endgame.
Avery doesnt pick up, but the tender spell is broken.
At long last, we get to the benefit for the ranch.
Id say more of this, c’mon, except theres only Waaaaaa!
one more episode to go.
Alannah and I should totally hang.)
I thought Scarlett and Gunnar were going to sing a duet, but instead Sean and Scarlett sing.
Yes, their voices harmonize beautifully together, but you know who elses voices harmonize beautifully together?
The OG harmonizers, Scarlett and Gunnar!
As for Gunnar, oy.
His platinum hair, his outfit a tattered and patched denim vest and his RAWK!
song are a world of wrong.
But I think were supposed to like them?
Angela gets very jealous of Scarlett again even though shes wearing one of her patented performance shmatas.
But this time Angela has good reason.
Sean goes backstage after the duet and declares his undying love for Scarlett.
Its easy to fall in love with someone brand new, she says.
(Scarlett spitting truth bombs, as per.)
She points to Angela, who is leaving: Shes real and shes the love of your life.
Then they exchange a wistful, Ill never forget you kiss and Sean runs after Angela.
But not all romance ends in sorrow.
Twig shows up and tells Maddie he quit his job with Jonah.
They hug and then kiss!
(Ive already forgiven Twig for last weeks indiscretion.
I cant stay mad at my little shrubbery for long.
)Finally, Deacon, Gideon, and the girls leave the concert.
Hey Daph, you want to ride with granddad?
But Gideon hems and haws in such a way that its clear that hes hiding something.
You lying son of a bitch, he says, grabbing his father by the lapels.
Get out of my sight … You are not my father.
And on this note a ReverseDarth Vader, if you will we conclude the penultimate episode ofNashville.
