Last week on Nashville, we met the latest superstar to bump into Rayna James (Connie Britton), Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) and co. in the faux country music scene of the ABC series: Autumn Chase (guest star Alicia Witt).

She's a Sheryl Crow-esque mainstream icon, and she's picked a Highway 65 artist to open for her on tour—but unfortunately, it's not the one Rayna hoped would make the slot. Instead of Layla, Autumn has chosen the Exes to join her.

In E! News' exclusive sneak peek at tonight's new episode, Autumn gets together with her young tourmates Gunnar (Sam Palladio) and Scarlett (Clare Bowen) to learn a little more about them. Like any of us, however, what she really wants is the gossip on their failed relationship.

"We were stunned to get the call. I still can't believe we're here," Gunnar says, but Autumn presses for the info she's really after: the dirt.

They tell her what we already know, since we've been watching this show for many seasons now: They were friends and coworkers at the Bluebird Café, Gunnar convinced Scarlett to put one of her poems to music, and the rest is history.

But that isn't enough, because Autumn Chase is nosy, y'all!

Finally, Gunnar gets down to business—and that's when things get super awkward. "I proposed, and she turned me down. But it was for the right reasons," he says.
