And when she looks down, she spots blood.
Scarlett is in shock.

Gunnar falls into a fitful sleep and wakes up thinking the kid with the gun is standing over him.
The next day, Jessie shows up with a gift basket for Scarlett.
Meanwhile, Gunnar is not dealing well with his grief or with being shunned by Scarlett.
Eventually he spots him, chases after him, and starts beating the s out of him.
The kid whimpers and begs him to stop, and Gunnar comes to his senses and lets him go.

Elsewhere, the single Juliette stole from Maddie is a roaring success.
(Side note: In Juliette’s defense, the song suits her voice way more than Maddie’s.
J lies and says she’s just busy, but she really wants to make time to talk soon.
Here’s where it gets kind of funny.
The really great part is that Maddie buys all this somehow and is all set to leave.
But boy, does she convey her feelings to Juliette.
She grabs a cocktail from a nearby tray and throws it right in her sometimes-mentor’s face.
There’s gotta be a song in it for both the ladies, no?
The next morning, the spat is all over the media.
Back on the Scunnar front, things are bleak.
It’s too painful for them both.
The next day, Scarlett is painting when Gunnar comes by to get some of his stuff.
She says she’s going to go ahead and do the fundraiser they’d been planning without him.
At the fundraiser, Deacon bumps into Jessie and apologizes once again.
He introduces her to the girls as “a friend” before they run off to see Scarlett.
Then she literally has to face the music by performing.
The wooden box is engraved with “Amelia Rose” the name she would have given her daughter.
Let’s hope for a cheerier episode next week?
