“Daisy Jones and the Six” Episode 3 Recap: Look at Us Now

Daisy wants to record

It all starts with Daisy playing her Teddy demo (Tom Wright), who is once again impressed by the talent of the young singer. As the song ends, he asks her about her intentions for her music career. She tells him that she wants to make a record that people will play over and over again until it breaks, and after that Daisy wants to make another one. With this in mind, the producer advises her to write 10 more songs that are better than the one she already has. Although she tells him to give her a week to come up with new material to show him, the songwriting process is not as easy for her as she hoped.

Billy leaves rehab in search of a new start

As Daisy tries to find ideas for her music, Billy is ready to leave rehab and meet his daughter for the first time. Considering that he wasn’t in the best shape to meet her in the hospital when she was born, Billy aims to be a better husband and father now that he’s had time to deal with his addiction issues. When Graham (Will Harrison) picks him up from the clinic, he tries to catch up with his older brother in the car, telling him what the band members have done during this time. Billy is now thinking about meeting his daughter, so he brushes off any comments related to the “Six”. When he comes home and sees Camille (Camila Morrone) with his child, he does not know what to do and how to interact with their child. It takes him a while to finally hug his daughter as he tries to piece together what his life will be like as he moves forward given this new responsibility he now has as a parent. As a result, Billy tells the other band members that he is leaving the band to devote himself fully to his family.

This news is not taken lightly by Graham, Karen (Suki Waterhouse), Warren (Sebastian Chacon) and Eddie (Josh Whitehouse). In the end, their band was kicked out of the label due to the cancellation of the tour. They wouldn’t have had to find another job to make ends meet, or go back to stage 0 as a group, if it wasn’t for Billy’s mistakes. While still not giving up on their dream, the band members decide to find a new lead singer and hold auditions to see if they can find another frontman with the star power that Billy had. However, the tryouts are not promising and they are left with only one alternative: Eddie stops playing bass and replaces Billy as lead vocalist and guitarist.

Misogyny in the music industry

As The Six seek to rebuild their careers, Daisy and Simone attend a party where the latter has the opportunity to meet a producer who is interested in recording her music. During Simon’s event (Nabia Be) also meets Bernie (Ayesha Harris), a New York City DJ who is attracted to an aspiring singer. As Simone and Bernie leave the party together, Daisy meets her ex-boyfriend, who took credit for her song “Stumble on Sublime” in Episode 1. She confronts him, saying that the least he can do is thank her for the success of the song. Instead of admitting what he did, her ex-boyfriend pretends that he has nothing to thank her for. This causes Daisy to push him into the pool and sing “Stumble on Sublime” as loudly as possible so that everyone notices the reason for their argument.

Another unfortunate situation occurs in this episode. When Simone goes into the studio to record her song, all the excitement she’s been feeling about taking the next step in her career vanishes when one of the producers grabs her into his lap. Although she manages to let him go and pretend that nothing happened, Simone is able to tell that her reaction will lead to consequences. When the studio session is over, the singer cries on the way home. Despite Daisy asking her if she’s okay, she doesn’t talk about the incident.

Honeycomb making

After Billy tells Camila that it would be better for them to move back to Pittsburgh to stay closer to their families, she gives him a straight answer, saying that she didn’t move to LA because of him, she only moved to the city with him. . This prompts Billy to rethink his departure from The Six. At Christmas, he asks the band if he can play them a new song called “Honeycomb”. Afterwards, the group immediately takes him back (despite Eddie’s opposition) and Billy meets with Teddy to show him the song. With the tour cancelled, the record label doesn’t like to give The Six a second chance to redeem themselves.

When Teddy plays the song at his house and Daisy hears it, she is immediately intrigued by “Honeycomb”. This prompts the producer to take the bold step of putting Daisy and Billy in the studio together. So he could try to convince the record company that the song could still be a hit. Billy doesn’t take the news well, but agrees to record a song with her. Their voices blend incredibly well with each other right up to the chorus when they sing different lyrics. Billy is furious when he learns that Daisy has changed the lyrics of his song as well as its meaning.

Only after Teddy is honest with him about the record company disapproving of “Honeycomb” does Billy relent and record Daisy’s version. By the end of their session together, Billy tells Camila over the phone that it was a nightmare. However, when Simone asks Daisy about her time in the studio, Daisy replied that it was probably the best day of her life. The two singers’ different views are just a hint of what their working relationship will be like once Daisy officially joins the group in future episodes.
