"Nashville" season 4 episode 8 aired on Nov. 18 and it seems there is a lot of family drama. While Maddie dyes her hair blonde, it is a shame that she does not bleach out some of her stank attitude.
Rayna finds out about Maddie's snit of dyeing her hair after a long night recording with Markus. While Deacon runs to her bar to help with the remodel, Ray grips her coffee pot as if that sweet bean juice is the only thing keeping her from tearing out the teen's tresses with her own hands.
The situation gets worse since the moment Maddie realizes that Sony wants to make her a solo artists, she becomes more insufferable than usual. With Deke avoiding hard times by focusing on The Beverly's refurb job, surprisingly Rayna chooses to confide in Markus.
Meanwhile, The Exes' first few tour dates have gone very well. However, there is friction when Scarlett irked that she and Caleb cannot stop playing phone tag, implying that Gunnar is more interested in getting into Erin's pants as opposed to making their band a success.
At the Boston show, everything seems to be progressing well until Erin, at Scarlett's advice, ups her lady vocals so high that the board - and the crappy electrical system at the club - blows. The Exes save the night by having fans use their cell phone lights on stage, then performing an acoustic version of "Plenty Far to Fall."
Scarlett almost rips into Erin, imaging that Gunnar will not do it. Unfortunately, Gunny and his bouffant of disapproval insist that Erin's subpar sound-tech skills have no place on the tour. Later, Erin goes to Gunnar's room to apologize and ask for help in learning how to work different kinds of soundboards.
Episode 8 also sees Avery realizing that Will is secretly drafting break-up songs about Kevin. Since Avery is idle, he performs one of the compositions, "History of My Heart," at The Bluebird on Songwriter Night, making everyone in the room cry.
It comes as a surprise that Gabriella and Luke start dating. Gabriella says, "We need to find a replacement for Juliette! We need to find a new brand manager! Those Wheelin' Dealin' Driveway Patch Kits and Luke Wheeler Roach Traps aren't going to sell themselves!"
