Gone Country-Gone Crying

Ok, first of all, let me say, that I haven't had a good cry like that since Barbara Hershey's character died in "Beaches". It seems that Bobby figures prominently in all the episodes of Gone Country. Maybe because he's just a little larger than life and all out there. Here we find Bobby sleeping off another hangover, with Maureen trying to "gently" wake him up by turning on the key board and practicing her cheerleading, subtle I'd say. JR informs them via TV that they will be doing charity work for a good cause, the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Instead of the usual high profile charity work, they are all driven to the local car wash, where they are expected to roll up their sleeves and get down dirty, well some of them. We find Julio romancing the girls, Bobby taking pictures with the customers, and Maureen kissing all the ladies , or as Dee said, stop making out with the patrons! After the car wash, it's off to the hospital. Get your hankies ready! JR announces that the country music genre supports Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, and almost every country artist has one time or another passed through their doors.

The crew meets with a group of kids that have cancer and are in music therapy which helps to ease their pains. Sitting in a large circle, Mo felt comfortable singing in the middle as her mom mode came out. She said she felt no inhabitions singing for them. It was extremely heart wrenching to see those children. Every single cast member was wonderful, lending support and giving of their time, when we hear a woman sobbing loudly. The camera pans to find a woman leaning on Bobby Brown, crying her eyes out. It turns out that her daughter Juliana was not expected to live through the day. Bobby ask to see her so they let only two go up, Bobby and Sisqo, but no cameras. After 30 minutes, Bobby and Sisqo return visibly shaken. Bobby said that Juliana had a face of an angel. Bobby is devastated, he also lost a sister to cancer, so this experience shook him to the core. Over whelmed by grief he has to leave the hospital. Maureen goes after him, hugs him and says that God had a plan that he, Bobby, should be there for her, that he was somehow her angel, and they cry and weep together. Was there a dry eye anywhere?

John Rich hopes that the tears of this experience will weep into their music, and that they will be forever changed. Back in their rooms, we begin to see the music come alive with Maureen, Bobby and Carney. It was amazing and beautiful.

In the end, John Rich made the announcement that the little girl, Juliana, who wasn't expected to live that day, made a miraculous recovery. Believe in the power of miracles, they are all around you, now give me a kleenex please!-Single D
