Music City (2018) s02e02 Episode Script

Playing With Fire

1 Surprise, surprise.
Jackson is in love, again.
But this time, Ali's not buying it.
I need you to be there for me and not Baylee.
Does that mean he has to pay you, like up front, every month? Every month.
Kerry made it clear that his dreams were worth more than Rachyl's.
I give up law school and we're going broke so you can have a publicist.
I'm so sick of this shit.
Pushing her to reconnect with an old flame.
I've told you guys about my friend Jeremiah.
We got too close.
It's been a long time.
I've got one more resolution.
And I finally broke my rule, and dated a musician.
But what happens on tour, does not stay on tour.
- This is cute.
- Yeah.
They got all the good stuff.
Look.
Those are like two sets of panties.
No, it's one.
[LAUGHTER.]
There's just a hole in the middle for the important things.
OK, y'all.
This is a lot.
Look at.
It's a harness.
Like, what are you harnessing? I want to be a fly on the wall when you try and put this on.
I would be in the bathroom for four hours, and I think I would come out, and he would be like He'd be asleep.
so confused.
There's panties in this little box.
Perfect.
They're probably edible.
Are you [BLEEP.]
kidding me? What's that? I can't believe Bryant took Sammy on tour with him.
Wait, who? His little photographer, Sammy.
Still trying to weasel her way into his world.
No.
I don't have anything nice to say about her [ALL TALKING.]
because I feel like she's a wounded animal, like Bryant turned her down, and then he got with me.
What is it these girls traveling around with boys that [BLEEP.]
snakes, that's what it is.
I was looking forward to seeing Bryant when he comes through Nashville tomorrow.
Now, I'm just pissed off.
But that's something I'll have to bring up when I talk to him.
You were talking to Jeremiah for quite a while at Ole Red.
Jeremiah Carter.
Was it awkward? No.
It wasn't awkward.
It was just I was really excited, like oh, my god, you're back.
We should hang out.
He asked me to meet him for dinner.
Like that you, Kerry, and Jeremiah.
I mean, Kerry wasn't there.
Wait, you had dinner with him? - Why? - Why? He was like my best friend for two years, you guys.
He was there when Wolf was born.
Ah, are you going to tell Kerry you saw him? Probably not.
You don't think you're playing with fire? You're definitely playing with fire.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
[MUSIC - YOUNG PINES FEAT.
LANEY JONES, "START RIGHT NOW".]
(SINGING) We got to start right now.
It starts right now.
Hey.
Oh, my gosh.
It's happening.
- Yay.
- Woo.
I'm going to Miss USA! So I was thinking like this casual black-white.
Yeah, of course.
You have to take that.
It kind of says like, I'm here, but I'm fierce.
You're too much.
This is going in a garment bag.
Girl, yaas.
Then the second one is this one.
It's off-the-shoulder.
It's just like, hello.
I'm here.
I'm alive.
I'm at breakfast.
And here I am.
- Perfect.
- Throw it in, right? Yeah.
Put it.
Of course.
Do you recognize this thing? So sexy.
It just does everything for you.
Right.
It elongates you.
You look tall, and skinny, and pretty.
Yes, ma'am.
It's so good to have another pageant girl's opinion.
How many suitcases are you taking? Like, only three.
Also, you want to see my Miss USA dress? I can't wait.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm freaking out.
I'm freaking out, too.
Wait, who ended up making your Miss USA dress? Giovanni.
Of course.
It's going to be a dream.
Custom.
If I gain a pound, I'm [BLEEP.]
.
Steve-o.
Hello.
Let's get the jacket on first.
All right.
Hop up.
How's it feel? I mean, the jacket makes everything.
So what's the suit for? I'm getting this for Ali's pageant for Miss USA.
Are you bringing Bailey? Yes.
I'm absolutely in love with this girl.
I want you to meet her.
You've known all my girlfriends since I was 10 years old.
She's, like, such a breath of fresh air.
Well, let's see if she's different.
What do you think? - I think it looks good.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- You have time for a beer? I mean, yeah.
Always.
So there's like this one layer, and then there's like [GASPS.]
the chiffon.
Girl.
It's absolutely stunning.
I know.
I think so, too The whole thing.
This is the most beautiful dress I've ever seen.
I've got to touch it.
So is this hand-done? Yeah, it's handmade.
I mean, because I have none.
Truth.
Girl, I'm so sad I can't come.
If I didn't have this booking, I would 100% be there.
Jackson told me he was coming, which is fabulous.
I would hope that he would, because why would he not? But he said he was bringing his new girlfriend Baylee.
I was like, are you kidding me? This is not just like a pageant, this is Miss USA.
So like Yeah.
This is your moment.
It's like, this is about Ali.
True.
He needs to come and support you as his cousin.
Right.
So what if you like text Jackson? And say what? I mean, just tell him that you really want him to be there to support you, but maybe this isn't the right time for Baylee to come.
But I don't know, you should come by yourself? I mean, like, I have no idea.
Say that.
I would rather you come by yourself.
But it's the truth.
Ali, this is your moment.
I know.
You can say that and not be selfish.
OK.
Let's say, I'd rather you focus on me.
Leave her at home.
Bye, girl.
That's harsh.
But I like it.
Cheers.
Cheers.
What do you think of that suit? A few tweaks we'll make it work.
- I hope so.
- It'll be right for the occasion.
Good.
[TEXT MESSAGE NOTIFICATION.]
Unbelievable.
Forget her.
I'm not going to this stupid pageant.
Really? Yeah.
Are you serious? Yeah.
I'm dead serious man.
Why not? Ali just texted that she doesn't want Bailey there.
You have to be there.
[BLEEP.]
no.
I'm not saying I can't leave Bailey, but no.
What a slap in the face.
Dude, Ali can do whatever the hell she wants to do, but I'm not going to go to that pageant.
(SINGING) I'm dangerous.
So dangerous.
[VOCALIZING.]
- Hey.
- How you doing? Good to see you.
Oh, yeah.
- What is it? - Can I taste it? Yeah.
Yeah, please.
Bourbon vanilla.
Whiskey.
Shut up.
[LAUGHTER.]
Tell me what's been going on.
Kerry's new publicist's name's Tori.
When did you talk to him last? I have no idea.
Once upon a time.
[LAUGHS.]
You're still in the honeymoon stage.
Everything's great.
I did tell my friend Jessica we had dinner.
Yeah.
And she definitely gave me some unwarranted advice about you.
She told me I was playing with fire.
That's interesting.
What did she say that around? Just, I guess, having a single guy friend that I'm close to.
(SINGING) Sit in the real sun.
I mean, dinner was fun, though, yeah? Yeah.
I know you appreciate the friendship because I'm honest with you.
I think there can be a happiness that you realize is a choice.
Like, I want you to just, regardless of how Kerry feels, seek your own happiness.
[HUMMING WEDDING MARCH.]
That's right.
(SINGING) [vocalizing.]
Ooh, that's pretty.
This is so fun.
Awesome.
We both like that? All right.
How low does that go? It is one of our lower dresses.
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Let's get crazy.
Ooh.
(SINGING) We move to the beat of our own drum.
I love that.
I should be on top of the cake.
Back it up.
Imported Italian lace.
Is this in your budget? Honestly, I haven't looked at the price tag, so I don't know.
I just love it.
I want to try one more, though.
Yeah, do it.
Ta-da.
[GASPS.]
- Do you love it? - Oh, my gosh.
I feel like a bride.
It's incredible.
Which one do you think Dre will like more? You're such a good bride for thinking about what Dre wants.
How many dress shops did you go to? None.
I ordered mine online.
What? You are so funny.
Would you still do that same thing today? No.
Really? Yeah.
See how it feels when you sit down, because you're going to be sitting down a lot.
Ohh.
Yeah.
I feel so comfortable.
Can you relax your belly? Yeah.
Not even sucking in right now.
Could you pee in it? Could I pee in it? With some help, probably.
So how are you doing? Good.
I want to hear about you and Kerry.
Yeah.
I'm in, like, bride mode.
Yeah.
It's not about me.
Yeah, it is.
Well, I know you hate hearing about this, but I saw Jeremiah again.
Oh.
Hm.
And I think we are getting kind of close again.
Right.
I think if it were me in the situation, I just feel like I'd want to be fair to my husband, even if he didn't deserve it.
I don't think you understand what like six years of feeling lonely is.
I just feel like fairness is like long gone at this point.
I don't want to sound insensitive, Rach.
I feel like I wouldn't be a good friend to you if I was saying, like, yeah, just disregard your marriage.
But sometimes in a marriage, you're just surviving.
And I think that when I met Jeremiah, I was just kind of surviving.
So he filled a place that he probably shouldn't have filled emotionally.
It's where the whole for better or worse comes in, I guess.
This happens all the time.
People are married and they're lonely.
Now, do you want my opinion on the matter? - Or do you just want me to listen? - I just want a girlfriend to be like a safe place, and I feel like you do put me and Kerry above me.
I guess I don't understand the difference.
I feel like you and Kerry are one, so I think that's where we disagree.
[MUSIC - KERRY DEGMAN.]
(SINGING) And I thought that love would be pretty, but I didn't know a damn thing about what love was really.
It's a cup always empty and still they need more, so you pour, and you pour till you break.
But I can't find the right words to say.
No, I can't find the right words to say.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING.]
One more.
Thank you so much, guys, for coming out tonight.
My name's Kerry Degman.
It's been a pleasure.
I'll be hanging out in the back.
Y'all come see me.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
(SINGING) [vocalizing.]
How are you? - Fabulous.
- Good.
Hey, man.
Best of luck.
Absolutely.
Hey, thank you, man.
I need it.
- You were awesome.
- Thank you.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks so much, ladies.
Great to meet you.
Appreciate it.
Y'all have a good night.
You, too.
Hey, baby.
What's going on? Hey, hon.
What you doing? We just finished the show, and I am at the merch table, kind of meeting fans.
Is everything OK? You and Wolfgang are fine? Yeah, Wolfgang's fine.
Can I Is Tori there with you? Tori is here.
She's helping me with the merch table.
It's so late.
I thought you'd be home by now.
Should I wait up? I'll be home as soon as all of this dies down.
There's still a good amount of people here trying to hang out.
[CROWD CAHTTER.]
Hey thanks, guys.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for coming out.
Kerry, I love you, dude.
Thanks, guys.
I'll call you back.
All right? Bye.
Wait, b [MUSIC - ARKIVIST, "WESTERN CHILDREN".]
Who was that? Oh, it's Rachyl, just checking in.
We're just going to keep this over here.
- OK.
- All right.
- Well, let's stay focused.
- Let's do it.
I think it's time for another beer.
(SINGING) The number's not looking good for you.
Your old view's dying.
They'll be dying with you, too.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I thought you might need some clean clothes.
- Thank you.
- How's the tour? It's frickin' hot everywhere.
I'm always tired.
But I missed you.
Um, you know I came here today, interrupting your unpacking, because you've been avoiding all my texts about Sammy.
I'm just curious, I guess, like what is going on with you two? Sammy has been very loyal to us, but there's never even a thing happening there.
Really, though? Really? Because what you're saying, what I'm seeing, what I'm hearing is very different.
It looks different on the outside, and It looks terrible.
It looks terrible.
I don't understand why you took her on tour again.
It's really [BLEEP.]
irritating.
I do apologize if I haven't been respecting your feelings, but at the end of the day, I want to continue to work with her because she does good work for us.
Despite the ups and downs of is this a thing Even though she's in love with you, and you know that she's in love with you? Look, the politics of being in a band are messy.
I'm going to call bullshit on that, but that's cute.
Maybe we'll just go with this.
Have you ever had feelings for her? Do you have feelings for her? Will you have feelings for her? You're just like every other musician that I've ever met.
Good luck.
Tell Sammy I said, hey.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
See you never.
(SINGING) You could act like I'm a ghost.
.
Try and say that you don't know.
Baby, I am in your bones.
I'm in your bones.
And now, your top 10 finalists.
Madison Knight, South Dakota.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.]
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
Alexandra Harper, Tennessee.
Fabulous.
Mwah.
Top ten.
That means something good, right? I don't have the first clue about pageants.
I know more about pageants than any man needs to know about pageants.
[LAUGHS.]
You could be in there.
- No.
- Yes, you could.
Shut up.
I bet she's pissed that I'm not there.
[LAUGHS.]
If she wins this thing, she's going to rub it in my face.
- Forever.
- Forever.
You weren't there.
What the heck? Coming up next, the final five.
I just don't there to be any tension because you're not there.
There's going to be tension, like she Well, I don't want it to be because of me, then.
How about that? I get why she wouldn't want me there because it's her thing.
But at the same time, like I just hope she doesn't think that you're not there because I wouldn't let you go.
This is Ali's world, and we're all living in it.
You know? She wants all my attention.
She wants all this to happen on her terms.
And it's been on her terms for forever.
Now it's on my terms.
I want to be with you.
I want to focus on you, focus on my goals for us.
And unfortunately for Ali, that doesn't involve her.
Well, I'm going to let you all duke that one out.
But I want to be left out of it.
I mean, you will be left out of it.
- Just like, of course - It sounds like I was already brought into it.
Everything will be fine.
OK.
Hope so.
The first one to make it to the final five is Nevada.
Oh, I am dying.
I am dying.
Nebraska.
[EXHALES QUICKLY.]
My heart is freaking out, having a panic attack.
I need you to calm down.
When she lost Miss Tennessee the first time, she didn't speak for two weeks.
North Carolina.
So this is it.
There's one spot left.
The last contestant to make it to the final five is, South Dakota.
[MUSIC - SILVERBERG FEAT.
[ANNA MAE, "PARADISE".]
Oh.
Man.
I bet she's so upset right now.
Sharon's going to be mad.
Mom's going to be mad.
Ali's going to be mad.
I just hope that regardless, that she's not upset with me that you didn't go.
Oh, [BLEEP.]
me.
(SINGING) [vocalizing.]
Next time on "Music City.
" Y'all grabbed a meal, like just the two of you? Ali's going to be pissed at you regardless.
Did you go to Miss USA? I didn't make it.
You look at me like you want to just Claw your eyeballs out.
Baylee, do not [BLEEP.]
with me and Jackson.
This is bullshit.
Did you hook up with Bryant? [BLEEP.]
off.
Slut.
So I hung out with Jeremiah today at the Airstream.
I don't know what you want me to say.
I want you to tell me exactly what's going on.
