"Nashville went next-level last night. I know, I know&amp;amp;#8212;we all thought it was the next level. Now the next level has a next level. It&amp;#x27;s just so good&amp;amp;#8212;and not just in that soapy twisty way (whoa, Lamar!). What makes Nashville so irresistible is that it manages to bring the drama and it&amp;#x27;s fun. (Those dour schemers on Revenge should loosen their Herve and try it sometime.) Anyway, I feel like last night&amp;#x27;s episode was my personal reward for getting into a &amp;quot;discussion&amp;quot; with some people who don&amp;#x27;t like Nashville (preposterous!) at a party earlier this week. It was stuffed with great moments, most notably: Tandy&amp;#x27;s back in the mix and actually being cool. Judith Hoag&amp;#x27;s type-A sis was sort of a pill in the beginning, but I love that she&amp;#x27;s morphed into a sweeter, more supportive presence. I mean, after all this time being half-friends with a pop star 20 years her junior, Rayna needs a woman her age in her corner to help her through this phase. The whole girls&amp;#x27; trip to NYC really worked for me. That new song Rayna toward the beginning. Something to do with &amp;quot;stomping grounds.&amp;quot; I need it and I can&amp;#x27;t find it and it&amp;#x27;s almost Friday! Help! Gunnar and Scarlett, caught between love and competition. I adore this storyline. It brings out the truest part of both characters&amp;amp;#8212;Scarlett&amp;#x27;s integrity stops her from signing on the dotted line. Gunnar&amp;#x27;s giant heart insists that she pick up the pen again. Somehow they keep raising the bar on their make-out scenes. You two get a gold star. Grown-up Juliette. If I&amp;#x27;ve said it once, I&amp;#x27;ve said it a hundred times: I never figured on our cover girl&amp;#x27;s alter ego becoming likable on this show. But she just keeps striving to improve, in a perfectly realistic and relatable one-step-forward-two-steps-back fashion. (Yeah, last night Jay Hernandez was the two steps back. Can you blame a girl?) Deacon saying this: &amp;quot;The road is no place for a new dog...or an old one.&amp;quot; Truth. Chris Carmack as a singing cowboy. Producers, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And I saved the best for last: Lennon and Maisy&amp;#x27;s take on the Lumineers&amp;#x27; &amp;quot;Ho Hey.&amp;quot; Why was I almost crying? They&amp;#x27;re not my daughters. Pull it together, Angelo. What did you think of last night&amp;#x27;s ep? Photo: ABC"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
