She also offers some non-heartfelt condolences and patronizingly compliments Maddie and Daphne.

Unfortunately for Deacon, hes about to realize thats not quite true, but well get back to that.

And so, Scunnar takes to the stage for a low-key, impromptu performance with a mostly teenage audience.

After the show, Scarlett hugs fans and then approaches a damp-faced Nadine.

Sheesh, teens make for a tough crowd.

Scar reaches out to see if Nadine would like to finish their conversation.

They get together the next day, and its clear Nadine has some image-related self-esteem issues.

She doesnt think Scarlett can understand that, being both talented and beautiful.

Gunnars like,Sit down; boys get called names too.

Theyre all smiles and patting themselves on the back for this great message of inclusion theyve come up with.

I wonder if they wrote this story line beforethat Pepsi commercial?

Later, Will is fitted by the wardrobe department, and the stylist, Jacob, hits on him.

It kind of seems like the stylist is propositioning a threesome with Will and Zach.

He even shows him his recent phone messages from sexy people like his orthodontist.

Doth the man protest too much?

Suppose well find out.

In the middle of the night, Zachs phone rings or hisotherphone rings (the plot thickens!).

Its someone called Jeff, who is important enough to have a pic assigned to his contact.

Its really hard for me to hurt people, he tells Will.

Most of us relish it, Zach.

When the guys get back to Nashville, everyone gathers at HW65 to watch the commercial.

Its not Super Bowl worthy, but its fun.

The slogan, I hear you cry?

This Buds for you.

Well, okay, then.

Everyone at HW65 loves it, but remember, they dont really know what YouTube is over there.

Jeff is ready to change, and Zach tries to talk him down while he grows more hysterical.

Its horrible for everyone involved, but Zach is adamant.

Well, maybe, but for now, this isnt aboutyourpotential pain, Will.

(Recap continues on page 3)

Lets go over to Deacons drama.

Isnt that poor business protocol?

Deacon seems to think so, and hes a little hesitant, agreeing only to a meeting for now.

Jessie admits she envies him.

And of course, Jessie chooses that moment to call and leave him a very long message.

Deacon tries to find words to apologize, but in the end, he just lets her hang up.

What do you know, Juliette storms off.

On brighter note plenty of teens show up for Scarletts benefit to banish female shame.

Can you believe this little rendezvous is enough to melt Mackenzies cold, cynical ruthlessness?

I cant, but apparently it is.

But will she write a retraction?

This week, Jessie plays us out.

Thats it for this week.

Lets hope Deacon has an easier time of it next episode.
