Previously on Daisy Jones and The Six...
We have a new member of the band.
Let's hear it for Daisy Jones.
I'm not here to sing harmony on a bunch
of love songs about your wife.
Just maybe the two
of you can go someplace
and work on something together.
- Are we good? - Of course we are.
You coming?
And you're into Graham?
I mean, he's sexy as hell.
About why we do things that are bad for us,
why we keep doing them,
even though we know that it's
hopeless.
How many pills do you take in a day?
I can throw these
in the toilet right now, and I won't feel a thing.
I never would've thought you were
- so... - What?
...like, broken.
- Can you walk me in? - What? Why?
What I meant
was...
we're more alike than I thought.
We must've written eight or nine songs
the first couple weeks.
I would have an idea, and then
he'd flesh it out, or he would come up with a riff,
and I'd come up with a melody line.
When you're making an album,
any album,
it's an intimate thing.
I mean, it has to be.
Which isn't to say we didn't... fight.
- Not every song needs a bridge. - Oh, we were fighting
constantly.
For a month it was like that.
We'd be, we'd be in the studio,
you know, recording all the arrangements, and they'd be...
who knows where, doing God knows what.
Every day, they'd come in with something new.
I mean, great fucking songs.
And every night, they'd come in
giggling like two little schoolgirls.
And then, I mean, I mean, that's exactly what he said.
Bullshit.
No, I swear, I swear on my life.
- Bullshit.
What? It's not that funny.
Did it concern you?
Not really.
Not yet, anyway.
I mean...
like, whatever they were doing...
...it was working.

- It's not right.
It doesn't sound good. It needs to sound...
It sounds too nice. It needs to sound swampy.
- Swampy? - Do you know what I mean?
- It needs to sound swampier. - Uh...
Ride the toms instead of the high-hat.
Eddie, longer notes.
All right.
Great. Was that so hard?
I guess he speaks Daisy now.
- Swampy. - Swampy.
Yeah, we knew it was good.
Teddy was th-the most confident.
Here's how confident Teddy was,
before we even finished recording,
he calls in a favor at Rolling Stone.
It was only my fifth assignment.
Had the magazine thought more of The Six at the time,
they would've sent someone else.

And what were you doing
while all this was happening?
Oh, I was busy raising a child.
Pretty much...
all by myself.
No, I-I don't agree. I... I mean, I...
Every ti... every t... every time you do that,
every single time, it doesn't work.
No, no, no.
No, I think, I-I think verse one,
then, you know, chorus one, and then back to verse.
Before the bridge, we go back to the chorus, all right?
Like, we go back to the chorus.
If that doesn't make sense... How?
What?
Come on. Come on.
Honestly, um...
This, uh, this line doesn't work, does it?
Well, if you're asking me, then you know it doesn't.
So, can you fix it?
Probably.
Okay.
It felt like we were competitors.
Or rivals, even.
I fixed it for you.
You kept the one line that didn't work.
The line's beautiful.
It was just the rest that was shit.
- Well, fuck.
It's not what you think, man.
Okay.
You've seen Bonnie and Clyde, right?
- Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. - Yeah.
The sparks were flying in front of the camera,
but then they had their lives, you know, and that's...
that's how Daisy and me are.
So, you're saying it's just an act?
Not exactly, no,
but, uh...
I mean, it's not real life either.
That's kind of the point.
Okay.
Hi.
Hey.
Beautiful.
She is.
I meant the photograph.
You took this one?
Mm-hmm.
The way the light frames the side of her face.
And how the room feels just a touch out of balance...
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God. My Spanish
is not what it used to be.
No, hey, I'm just saying I'm impressed.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
I like that, too.
- Thank you.
Hey, you want to see a movie sometime?
Uh...
That's my husband in the photo.
And who is she?
She is, uh...
she's someone in-in his band.
If you say so.
What'd he look like?
What does that even have to do with anything?
I don't know. I'm just painting a picture in my mind.
Just felt nice
- to speak Spanish. - Mm.
You know, and just...
to not feel like a mom for 30 seconds of my life.
How's things with you and the boss?
Oh, you know...
Fine, I guess.
He's never really here, and even when he is, he's not, like...
here, you know?
Well, the songs are really good.
But that's another fucking thing.
I haven't even heard the songs yet.
When you guys were making the first album,
I felt like I was a part of it, somehow.
Maybe I just...
need something of my own,
you know?
Yeah.
Anyway... how are you and Graham?
Wait, what? He told you?
I've known Graham since he's 17 years old,
okay? I've never seen him smile this much in his life.
- We're just having fun. - Just?
Why just?
- Oh, God. - You like him, though?
- Yeah, you like him. - Yeah. Yeah, I do like him.
And... he loves you.
No, he doesn't.
Karen.
Please don't tell anyone.
I would never.
Hi. How'd it go?
Hey.
Yeah.
- Something there maybe. - Yeah?
Sorry it took longer than I thought.
No, it's okay.
So, I read some of the lyrics to that song.
Um... "Please"?
It was good. It was really good.
It's very... mm...
intense.
Yeah, well, Daisy wrote that one.
Mm.
Well, I liked it.
When do I get to hear it?
When it's ready.
What?
I just want it to be perfect for you.
Since when?
I just, I mean, I used to be the first person
that you'd play things for, so...
Soon.
Okay.
♪ There ain't no words ♪
♪ For the song I'm here to sing ♪
♪ There ain't no words for the song...
Even now, when you listen to that album,
every song is like a coded message
from Billy to Daisy, Daisy to Billy.
I'm sorry, did he say "coded"?
This is wrong. This is... It was different in my head.
I got to go.
- Where you going? - I'm just hitting a low.
You don't have to leave.
I thought I had it in the car, you know?
Then let's get in the car.
Has that melody come back to you yet?
- You know what's crazy? - What?
We live in California. The fucking ocean
is right over there, and I never ever see it.
So, turn right.
Whatever this-this is, this is new for me.
This is new for me too, Daisy.
My real name is Margaret.
Where did Daisy come from?
I didn't like myself very much when I was little.
So, I became somebody else.
I have a confession for you.
You made "Honeycomb" better.
I know.
You make everything better.
We still need to figure out the rest of that song.
I'm not tired.
I should probably...
See you tomorrow.
What changed his mind?
What did he tell you?
I looked in that room,
and all I saw was...
...temptation.
Yeah, well...
it wasn't the drugs.

- Hey.
Rolling Stone.
- Jonah. - Yes.
Yeah.
I didn't know you were staying here.
Yeah, remember, I told you earlier.
I wasn't listening.
What?
I could've sworn you two were together.
Just from the songs.
How do you know we're not?
Not according to Billy.
And what did he say?
He said it's acting.
Make-believe.
He doesn't actually have feelings for you,
but he doesn't mind if people think that he does.
He said it's all about the music.
Do you have any coke?
Next day,
we were supposed to record vocals for "Aurora."
And we waited hours.
- Did you try her room? - Yeah, couple times.
I'm worried something's happened.
Ah, she's probably just off somewhere.
No. No, no. This is her record as much as it's mine.
Something's not right.
- I got to go. - I'll go with you.
No, it's worse if the principal comes.
- Well, take Warren. - I can handle it.
Jump! Jump!
Jump! Jump! Jump!
Oh, shit.
Yeah, shit.
Sorry.
Teddy's catching hell from the label,
and you just wasted an entire fucking day.
I just said sorry, didn't I?
I have to tell you a secret.
I think you're the most talented person
I've ever met...
Besides me.
How much have you taken?
I'm perfectly, perfectly in control
of my faculties.
You're a mess right now,
you know that?
Fuck you.
Say hi to Camila for me.
I want to hear, like, a...
him thinking.
- Then he starts to get really stressed.
Hey.
I wrote something for you.

Daisy, you're not trying hard enough.
All right? I-I just need you to feel.
I mean, what are you afraid of?
Fuck this.
Daisy.
Daisy!
Why are you doing this?
This is what we do. We push each other to be better.
What did you say to her?
What do you mean?
I mean, the voice on the album,
how'd you get her to sing like that?
You want me to sing your song?
I'll sing your fucking song if you tell me the truth.
Tell me that there's nothing going on between us.
Tell me that this thing,
that the way I feel, that this is in my fucking head,
and I'll go in there and sing
that song, and we can all go home
and never talk about this again.

I'm a really, really big fan of your work.
So, this is who all these songs are about?
- Oh.
It all makes sense now.
Uh, what happened to simple?
Uh, magic hour? The band on the mountaintop thing?
Daisy wanted something a little grander.
Well, she and I, uh,
need to talk about this.
Excuse me.
Hey, this is, uh... That's "Aurora," isn't it?
- Yeah. Yeah, it is. - The song that's playing.
Uh, check it out. Let me know what you think.

Oh... I'll see you later.

"She was sleeping with the guitarist,
so they let her in the band."
I mean, that's what people will think, Graham.

H-A-Z-E-L-W-O-O-D. Hazelwood.

Sorry. Daisy mentioned something about that first tour.
You needing to dry out and whatnot.

Yeah.
Hey, Daisy, can I, uh...
can I borrow you for a sec?
Do you actually want this band to fail?
Do you have any idea how fucking uncomfortable I might be?
Fucking brought your wife here.
Of course my wife is here!
How could you tell him?
- You said "it was all about the music." - This is about the music.
That's why you kissed me? So I'd get back on the mic?

And that's how we ended the "Aurora" sessions.
We had a three-week break before rehearsals started.
I-I chartered a boat and I sailed down to Mexico
with these, these two sets of identical twins...
I just stayed around, uh, you know.
Just, uh, to see what happened, or whatever.
I don't think we did anything actually.
