Tenney

Feeling the Heat

Tenney worries she’s screwed everything up, but then realizes that all she has to do is be herself. She picks herself up again, retunes her guitar, and starts again.

As her song finishes, she gets a standing ovation! Everybody loved the song. Tenney tries to find Portia, but gets sidetracked by Holliday’s mother, who is gushing at Tenney’s talent. She accidentally mentions that Holliday actually quit practicing and is tone deaf, but if she hadn’t, maybe Holliday could be performing, too.

Zane invites Tenney and her parents out to a diner for dinner. Zane asks Tenney a few questions, and then tells her that she is very good and talented. But he really wanted to see Tenney own the stage the whole time she was up there, and instead he saw a nervous child who isn’t ready for a record deal.

Although Tenney handles the news with grace, inside, her heart is falling through the floor. Although her parents try to make her feel better, she can’t help but feel like she’s never going to want to play music again.
