It was incredible.
Yeah, it's beautiful,

Got real into farming.
Got myself a little green thumb.

So...
some parts of service were a little intense, huh?

we don't judge him too harshly.
Because all of us have done things
that we're ashamed of, right?

- Yeah, and we can't stand each other.
We can't.
I mean, she's all, like, gossip and babies, and I'm--
we ain't never felt connected, ever.
We misread the signs.
I know it.
But with you, I just--you know, I see so much for you.
And when I'm with you, I want so much for me, too.
I ain't never felt that with anybody.
How could God not want that?
But if you want to stop,
I more than get it, completely.
Let's stop.
- I don't.
- It's really okay if you do.
- I--I feel it, too.

Anywhere?

If you could go literally anywhere in the world
outside of Kentucky.
- I'm not sure. I don't know.
- So what, are you just going to stay here?
There's a whole lot more, let me tell you.
- I like the skies and the trees,
and my dance troupe,
and my siblings.
[sighs]
What?
- You just don't know what you're talking about.
- Hey.
Did I wake you?
- Um, I was just getting some water.
- [mumbling]
You're a baby.
Come fly with me.
- What was the name of your band?
- Deadbeats.
- Were you famous?
- [chuckles]
Mm, we got around.
We had a record deal.
We had a residency at Arleen's.
- What's that?
- Arleen's?
In Memphis.
Everybody played there.
You wouldn't know it from seeing it,
but all kinds of legends came through,
and that was my favorite spot to play.
- Why'd you leave?
- After I got saved, I didn't want
to be selfish no more.
Everything was always about me,
my songs, my struggles.
- Do you miss it?

When God asks you to give something up,
it's just so you got more room for Him.
Go to sleep.

There you go.
You okay?
- Okay.
- I don't get a fancy touch one?
- Mm-mm.
[chuckles softly]
- Do you want to...
meet tonight?
- My parents are coming over for dinner tonight,
so probably not the best night.
It's okay. Nobody died.
- Hey, y'all.
- Hey.
Here you go.
And you know how to put those things of CDs in there.
And, uh, yeah, Misty's going to sit in on your, uh--
your Labor Day choreography.

That was real nice, girls!
Thanks.
So reckon there's just a couple of things in there
we got to correct.
- Really?
- Yeah, just a few.
- Like what?
- Well, there are some moves in there
where I'm worried they focus a little too much
on the individual.
So let's go through it without music
and make some adjustments.
- Okay, we'll just go from the elbow bit.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- Stop a sec.
I know you didn't mean
to draw attention to your legs. [laughs]
Let's do the turn without the leg, okay?
Let's see it.
- Okay, we'll just do that turn bit
and keep your leg in.
Five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
- Yeah. Keep going.
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six--
- And stop.
Again, a little too individual-focused.
Don't you think?
- Why?
- Well, you're the only one standing right now.
All eyes are on you.
- But my attention's to God.
- Yes.
But it almost looks like all these girls
are worshipping you.
- That's what I was saying.
- I know that's not what you were intending.
Of course.
So let's make it so everyone stands together.
Okay?
What's the matter?
- I just...
we're praising God, and if you take
this whole thing apart,
you're just ruining this worship.
- [scoffs]

I reckon you're making this about you,

I'm just trying to do a good job.
- Alright. Uh, Jem...
Will you please just be a grownup
and work with me on this?
- Okay.
I'll kneel down like all of you guys.
- Thank you.
You can take it from the top.
- Girls, I'll be right back, okay?
Paul, where have you been?

- You got off work six and a half hours ago.
Five-hour-long way home? - Uh-huh.
- And you haven't been answering your phone.
- Frank let me go. And it's--it's--
that we just have to figure out.
- He let you go? I don't understand.
You've been there for eight years,
and he just let you go?
Nothing happened?
Paul, give me your keys.
Just give me your keys.
- Leave me alone.
- We've got to talk to Pastor Taylor about this.

I wouldn't particularly mind.
- No, it's okay.

We'll be back late afternoon.
Rest up.
Boys, come on. Let's go.
Everybody else is already in the car.
- Alright. - Thank you.

Did you scratch Misty's car?
Jem, you can't do that!
She told me what happened at rehearsal.
I had to talk her down from calling your folks!
- She was trying to take over.
- That doesn't matter!
It's on the road to giving us away!
- I'm sorry.
[whispering] I'm sorry.
- Just trying to figure this out for us, alright?
You're getting jealous.
- You really don't want to be with her?
- No.
- It's unbiblical to divorce.
Owen.
- Not if God never wanted us to be together.
You're getting bold, little wolf.

Oh, my goodness! The Starling girls?
What a surprise!
- We brought cookies.
- Well, that is just so thoughtful!
My tummy is being a little squirrelly,

I've got some lemonade in here.
Get some lemonade fixed for you.

Did you feel overtaken by them?

whose idea was it?
Who started it? - Where is Owen?

Why would you ask?

And if we could just explain-- - Explain what?
- That we--we're meant to be together.
- Stop it. - Woah, enough, alright.
You've let Satan into your heart.
- I haven't.
- No, you have.
Why do you think you're hurting
the people that love you?
Listen.
If you think that God wanted you and Owen to be together,
how are you so certain that wasn't Satan
whispering into your ear?
- If you'd just get Owen here--
- Owen doesn't want to talk to you.
His life is ruined.
He's got to give up his position.
Misty wants to leave him.
- Your son had a big part in that.
- Certainly, but, uh...
but he says that
Jem brought him to sin.
He says that she inhibited
his ability to control himself.
Jem, is any of that true?
I mean, I ain't saying that he ain't at fault, okay?
That's clear. He is.
But we're here, and we're talking to you about this.
And it is clear to me that Satan has got his hold on you.
This--
this is a spiritual attack.
You've tumbled down a very dark hole, Jem.
I tell you something, though. We can still save you.
God is our strength, our victory over Satan.
Do you want to be saved?
- Yes.
- I tell you, I think this family needs a big reset.
Alright?
And I think the best thing for everyone
is for you to go away for a little while.
Now, your mother and I have--
we discussed it,
