Maddie matures while Daphne doesn’t
Welcome, fans o the ville!
Are you ready for some troubled teens and even more troubled 20-somethings?
(kindly note my first-time compassion for Maddie, commenters.)

Uneasy seeing Maddie suffer, Deacon and Zach go to see a councilman to ask what they should do.
Something tells me thats not going to go down so well with Maddie.
Back at the house, Maddie calls Clay to tell him she misses him.
Hes pretty pissed about the press situation, especially now that details from his past have started swirling.
He gets short with her and hangs up abruptly.
I think theres something comforting in here?
He basically implies she should suck it up and say sorry.
Maddie asks if she did anything wrong, and J tells hers she thought she was amazing.
Maddie is all smiles, nodding along and loving it for now.
Liv snaps at Maddie and says she shouldnt make Daph feel bad.
Of course, it goes viral, and people get cruel changing up the caption.
This sympathy I feel for Maddie is confusing.
She also mentions that Damien is back in England, so that situation has resolved itself.
Deacon tells her to take the pressure off herself; her feelings might change back.
Am I the only one who thinks Gunnar is being looked at and treated completely unfairly?
Hes been pretty consistent in his feelings for Scar; its not his fault she keeps changing her mind.
has arrived well, her character, Alyssa Greene, has.
Zach wants to give her a three-month trial to see if she can make the label sustainable for years.
He calls all the labels artists (a.k.a.
the entire cast) to an introductory meeting with Alyssa.
And shes wearing rimmed glasses and overalls, so you know this hipster knows what shes talking about.
Alyssa wants to start brand partnerships and jokes that the first one is with toilet paper.
Juliette is so unimpressed.
Will seems willing to hear them out, and Gunnar is just plain confused.
Everyone looks to Deacon for answers, and he says Dylan does it, so why shouldnt they?
Everyone needs to make sacrifices around here.
He does seemhellapissed when he says it, though.
Zachs all,I love everything about you; I dont want to change you.
Wills all,Damnnnnn!
HW65 may be in financial strife, but that doesnt mean theyre opposed to bringing on another unknown artist.
Well, unknown isnt entirely true; Hallie did feature on Juliettes flop of a gospel album.
Deacon makes his impressed face, and Avery can hear the whole album in his head.
He wants to produce it.
I wonder how long Juliette will be happy for her savior if she starts outshining her.
Boyfriend also still lives with his wife although theyre separated with whom he has two kids.
Points to Hallie for having a more interesting home life than I imagined.
The next night, everyone gets together for dinner at the Jaymes household to celebrate Hallies potential signing.
One has to ponder how such a devout Christian as Hallie got herself into such a messy position.
J is all, Girl, safety is the enemy.
Take risks or go back to your day job.
Looks like its boy, bye for George.
(Recap continues on page 3)
Lets get back to the Maddie show.
So many conflicting opinions!
Whats a girl to think?
Maddie shows up at his place later to discover he hasnt slept in three days.
She realizes she cant help him, and they break up.
We were never really girlfriend and boyfriend because there was never a place for us, says Clay.
He lets her know he cares about her so much and that he let himself really feel for her.
Guess thats the last well see of him.
She just needs to say something in her own words and let everyone know who she is.
And so Maddie enlists Daphnes help to make a video.
It was very heartfelt, and Im proud of Maddies maturity.
