Its not the reaction shes hoping for, but it is somewhat understandable.

In walks Deacon to unknowingly save the day.

While Markus is finding his final song, Will is trying to get his songwriting career off the ground.

Hes ecstatic, especially when he learns that his song has already been claimed by a huge artist.

That leaves Will in a tough spot, something Luke knows a thing or two about.

Hes sick of being ignored by Colt and wants to understand what the problem is.

He thinks its about not spending enough time together.

Yeah, that could have something to do with it.

Back in the studio, Markus has finally decided on one of Deacons old songs.

That causes Deacon to flip because this is Deacon.

Nope, Ill have none of this.

Screw you, Deacon.

Of course, Rayna ends up forgiving him and moving on rather quickly.

She sets some boundaries with Markus and then assures Deacon that hes the only one for her.

Deacon never even apologizes!

What kind of bulls!

@$ is that?

Again: Screw you, Deacon.

Will actually accepts his offer.

Lets hope thats just for now.

As for Colt and Luke, their bonding doesnt go over so well.

Luke tries to spend some time alone with his son, but aForbesphoto shoot interrupts them.

And then hes surprised when his son up and leaves to goes stay with his grandpa?

Come on, Luke.

That lack of attention to detail certainly wont help you with your lifestyle brand.

As Colt and Luke grow apart, so do a few others.

He runs down her career and insults her.

Dump him now, Scarlett, thats all Ill say.

There are feelings lurking, thats for sure.

We dont get to hear the actual conversation, just a confirmation that its Juliette.

Hold on to your seats, folks.
