What will we do without weekly visits in the ville?
As has become the norm, we kick things off with breakfast at the Jaymes-Claybourne house.

Its the morning after last episodes benefit and the girls are upset about not knowing where their grandfather is.
Deacon thinks its a joke but Bucky is dead serious.
He says hell think about it, having the girls to consider and all.
Each artist is assigned a song thats not necessarily their style and they have to make it work.
Daphne isnt a fan of her song and her mentor Elsa agrees that its too mainstream for her.
Shes freaking out about it to Deacon when she gets a letter from her granddad wishing her luck.
But, he promises, everything is under control.
He promises he will never hurt Deacon or the girls again.
Unconvinced, Deacon walks away.
I dont blame Maddie for looking a little uneasy with that proposition.
Oh to be a teenager!
So Maddie meets Twig for coffee and he can tell its bad news.
He says hed take her just as she is, but she thinks he deserves more.
There are tears … from Twig.
Poor guy, but just lets not make breakup gifts a thing, okay?
(Recap continues on page 2.)
And so the night of the big finale comes around and Daph is nervous as heck backstage.
Granddad is emotional in the audience and, in the moment, Deacon looks like he might forgive him.
But Daphnes not crowned winner.
Everyone is supportive and loving.
Hes going too but has got them separate rooms.
Why is that not comforting at all?
After the show, Brad invites her up to his room for a party with people she should meet.
As she goes to leave, he says she knew what she was doing and what the deal was.
Remember last week when Alannah and Deacon had a private little convo we werent privy to?
Well, it was so worth being left out in the dark for this next scene.
Brad laughs, but Zachs entirely serious.
Zach even has a paper trail proving that Brad paid for womens silence.
Win, win, win!
See ya, Brad, you creepy, sleazy piece of garbage!
They talk about all the growing theyve done over the last six years.
How times have changed.
Avery says hell think about rejoining the band.
Avery knows shes not telling him something but cant figure it out.
When he goes to chat with Hallie, she unnecessarily lets it slip that J is pregnant.
Guess this is the final episode and we dont have a lot of time.
She didnt want to trap him.
and sings a song about beginning again.
And then…(Recap continues on page 3.)
A FEW MONTHS LATER flashes on the screen.
Lets find out where they all are, shall we?
Next, we see Juliette out on her farm with long curly hair and a very pregnant belly.
Shes pushing Cadence on a swing when Avery walks up behind her with a bag slung over his shoulder.
They scoop up Cadence and head off to show daddy all the animals.
Never has a tiny couple been so perfectly proportioned for one another.
Okay, ready for the tears?
Deacon is having a blast on tour.
Scarlett is opening for him and has lost her engagement ring?!
Yup, thats right; shes met someone and is engaged already.
They kiss, all happy.
Then grandpa shows up on the girlss invitation.
Hes been reading about the tour and hes so proud of his son.
Deacon thanks him and excuses himself.
Is this real, he asks her as she saunters in from the bathroom.
She flashes her ring at him to show that their marriage really just happened.
She says theyre not gone, just passed.
Shes going to love him forever and ever.
Then Scarlett walks in and interrupts his memories to tell him his audience awaits.
He turns to his dad and asks if he knows the song.
His dad says he knows all his songs.
If youre not crying yet, you dont have eyes.
Theres Bucky and Jessie and Raynas sister and Teddy and Luke!
Then Callie Khouri, the shows creator, makes a speech.
Before adding, And says thats a warp!
And thats it, yall.
Its been a pleasure recapping this show with you every week.
