Later that day, Juliette puts her words into action and calls a press conference at the movements headquarters.
Somehow, the girl who helped Juliette escape from Bolivia is there with her son.
Did I miss the part where she broke them out of the fortress-like base in South America?!
Anyway, Js very eloquent in her speech and introduces her witnesses to the press.
She ends by promising she wont stop fighting until justice prevails.
Over at the Claybourne-Jaymes household, Maddie is dealing with her breakup from cheating Jonah by staying in bed.
She tells him hes pathetic.
Later, Granddad is telling stories again, but this time Deacon is weighing in too.
Inside, she sees him holding a bottle of bourbon and shards of broken glass.
He asks Daphne not to tell her dad, saying he just needs it to help him sleep.
Our Daphnes too smart for that charade and walks out without saying a word.
(Recap continues on page 2.)
Down at the ranch, things arent looking too good.
), the musician tells him to scare himself by becoming someone different.
Taking the advice, Gunnar goes home and starts rocking out on the electric guitar.
Alannah, on the other hand, is having less trouble getting the music out.
Avery just delivers him a death stare.
That night, Alannah and Brad have dinner and shes all (fake?)
He thinks he really might be falling for her and strokes her hand.
At Jonahs party mansion, Mia is still texting him and hes ignoring it.
Then Jonah admits hes an idiot and they go and get a beer.
Maddie is disappointed in him.
She points out that he has nothing with or without Jonah, which is kinda harsh in my opinion.
I mean, he at the very least has a nice head of hair.
Twig does not care and walks off, leaving Jonah looking far from convinced by his own bravado.
I knew that recurring mention of a temperature wasnt for nothing.
Over at Juliettes shes panicking because Cadence is still burning up.
Say what now?!
Hands up if this farming dream of Juliettes is news to you?
and shes going to be okay.
Avery and a calm-and-in-control new Juliette share a moment, then his phone rings.
Its Alannah, but he doesnt pick up.
Juliette tells him she understands hes moved on and isnt upset about it.
He doesnt bother to tell her that Alannah ended things earlier that day.
She can just switch over to Highway 65, right?
(Recap continues on page 3).
Its time for the benefit, folks!
Will needs a new exercise bike?
Juliette gets sued by Darius and loses all her money?
Gunnar needs a new girlfriend?
Throw a… hmm, wait, never mind.
Anyway, it is of course a resounding success.
Elsewhere in the crowd, Deacon is affectionate towards his father, and Twig shows up.
He tells Maddie he quit Jonah and is insanely happy about his new-found freedom.
He picks Maddie up and twirls her around.
They end up kissing and she laughs and hugs him.
Bottom line: Its not going to happen between them.
Scarlett is left crying but knows she did the right thing regardless of her true feelings.
The Clayborne clan are headed home from the benefit and Deacon suggests Daphne rides with her granddad.
He grabs his keys and searches the vehicle until he finds a bottle of bourbon.
Deacon throws it away and tells his dad he knew he was lying to him.
He starts yelling before the girls stops him.
Deacon tells his dad to get out of there, with a youre not my father.
If not, why even introduce him this late in the game.
