Crazy, I know.
It seems as though everyone in Nashville is gearing up for some sort of business venture.
Of course, all these business moves dont go down exactly as planned.

First up, Deacon thinks hes got a great plan to really put the Beverly on the map.
So, he books him into the Beverly for one night, taking over Frankies spot.
Or, Deacon isnt giving him many options.
Meanwhile, Gunnar and Scarlett have a meeting at Highway 65 to listen to their album.
Gunnar is stupidly nervous about it and Will is charmingly comforting about the whole thing but things go perfectly.
The label loves the album.
Gunnar seems to be okay with it, but Scarlett is worried is doesnt represent them as a duo.
Speaking of duos, Avery gets himself back into the dating game!
And Layla might love him!
Avery has a lot going on, is what Im saying.
Its super cute, and Avery deserves good things, so Im happy with this development.
Of course,Nashvillecouldnt go long without dealing with this whole Vita situation.
Vita insists that she didnt take the money, and thats enough for both Rayna and Deacon.
Then, Vita plays a stunning song and gets Rayna fully on her side.
Vita isnt the only one auditioning in a sense, though.
A label named Three Dollar Vinyl, whose artists are all gay, contacts Will.
He takes the meeting, but hes admittedly hesitant about the label.
Im glad I got that out.
Okay, back to business.
Riff says nobody knows how to play his music and that Lukes kids dont even like him.
Its a childish tantrum, one that only the men on this show know how to pull off.
In fact, a lot of people start having meltdowns about halfway through this episode.
Colt, whos suddenly back in town, gets angry at Maddie for focusing on music too much.
Then he tells her she should do something more meaningful with her life, that music is so fake.
Then again, hes Luke Wheelers kid, so its par for the course.
Then Frankie gets all heated and confronts Vita when she shows up for her Deacon-approved shift.
In a bit of a surprise, though, she admits to taking the money.
Despite all the tantrums, things mostly work out fine for everyone.
Again, thats not a new concept in music, you guys!!
Does nobody here know anything about making a record?
Things arent all rainbows and roses, though.
Colt, after getting dumped by Maddie (you go, girl!
), stares longingly at a poster for the U.S. Army in the episodes funniest shot of the night.
Theres potentially something much worse brewing, though.
According to the officer, there was an altercation, but thats all we know for now.
So, stay tuned for whenNashvilleturns into a crime procedural next week.
