Alright then, on with the show!
Lets start with Markus.
After weeks of ego, hes suddenly freaking out when confronted with the release of his album.

Meanwhile, its Averys turn in theNashvillerotation of be upset about everything in your life.
Not cool, dude.
After a brief introduction from Rayna, he gets on stage and, according to everyone, nails it.
I thought his rock voice sounded pretty thin, but hey, what do I know?
With that show done and done, lets check in with Gunnar and Scarlett.
Thats understandable, considering where they left things.
The next morning Scarlett tells him that she cant leave Nashville.
Scarlett is getting everything she wants…or is she?
He gives her a nice view of Nashville and opens a bottle of champagne, toasting their success.
Then he makes a big mistake and goes for a kiss, insisting the two have chemistry.
Rayna shuts him down immediately and leaves, completely baffled that he didnt get the message.
Back at their house the next morning, Deacon brings Rayna breakfast in bed.
When she tells him about Markus kiss, he flies off the handle because thats what Deacon does.
His first words: Where is he?
What hotel is he staying at?
Seriously, thats how were going to end this story line?
Meanwhile, Lukes officially lost everything he had.
The guy cant catch a break, but its hard to blame Colt.
His father only came running once he lost everything else.
While Luke loses everything, Will at least gains back some self respect.
Then, Wade makes a move on him, and Will shuts him down.
Thats when Will delivers one hell of a line: Id rather be me than you.
He tells Emily that hell agree to Cadence having supervised visits with Juliette.
Everything else comes to a head when Deacon opens the Beverly.
Guess I have to say it again: Deacon is the worst.
The Beverly is also where Scarlett finally makes her decision.
She breaks up with him and tells him that he needs someone willing to follow him anywhere.
Shes not wrong; theyve been an awkward fit ever since they got together.
Alright, onto the episodes final big moment.
Deacon eventually catches up with Rayna and apologizes for his behavior and for the tough loss to her label.
Its a solid reason for his ridiculous behavior, but Im still not happy with him.
Anyways, after the apology he says he wants to start over.
Ill be honest, though: After everything that came before it, it left me kind of cold.
How did yall feel about the proposal?
And where do you see the show going when it returns?
See you all in a few months!
