“Sometime you’ve got to blow up the box.”

The amazing thing about soap operas is you can miss a couple of weeks of episodes and not miss a single beat. And, in both good ways and bad, Nashville is very much a soap opera. Despite not watching the previous two episodes of the series it took me less than 2-minutes to get caught up on the show’s ongoing stories, which (in typical soap opera fashion) haven’t made all that much progress in my absence. That said, “You’re Gonna Change (Or I’m Gonna Leave)” works well enough that I may return in a couple of weeks to see what else Nashville has in store when it returns after a short Thanksgiving break.
