Quick flashback of everything that’s happened recently with our favorite Nashville singers/music producers/mayors/etc: Leila overdosed. Gunnar lost custody of his son (well, nephew actually) to his sort-of-in-laws. Juliette and Avery are settling into married life and learning how to compromise about ugly-chair placements. Deacon has liver cancer and Scarlett isn’t a donor match. Rayna told Deacon she’s been in love with him since she first laid eyes on him, but that she needs time to figure things out (two-decades apparently wasn’t long enough). The Mayor hooked up/potentially loves a prostitute. Okay, you’re all caught up!
It’s been three weeks since Rayna called off her wedding. Luke has been putting on non-stop impromptu shows for his fans, while she’s been holed up in her house. The press is having a field day. One day she’s in rehab. The next she’s in Mexico with Deacon. Really she’s sulking, but can you blame her?
At his AA meeting, Deacon tells his fellow alcoholics that no, he doesn’t want any of their livers (smart move, considering) and that he has faith in making a recovery. “I can beat this thing. Just like I’m beating the drinking that probably caused this in the first place.” We have faith too, Deacon.
While Jeff can’t be bothered to remember his own secretary’s name (it’s Angie btw), Rayna kindly remembers the random dude’s name who sometimes brings her coffee. See the contrast they created there?
Oh, and guess who’s back? Beverly- aka Deacon’s unstable sister/Scarlett’s abusive mother. And, guess what she has? A lovely, functioning liver that could potentially save the brother who’s been saving her her whole life. No big deal.
Let’s not forget about the kids. Maddie and Daphne are basically musical prodigies so, naturally, Jeff Fordham is on top of it- showing up at their school, watching them perform (it’s not pedophilic if it’s all for the sake of business, right?). Micah is lashing out and got suspended from school.
In the middle of a sweet, family jam sesh, Beverly gets the results of her blood test. She’s not a match. Except… she is! But, in typical Beverly fashion, she lies and takes off because her brother’s liver cancer is too much for her to handle… Right. In her words, he’s done it to himself and “it’s just not fair.” Well, boo hoo Beverly.
Meanwhile, Juliette is in rare form, cracking jokes and what not, all because she can’t finish her album since she’s literally about to pop. When Avery tells her she should stop eating one of her pregnancy cravings because they’re high in sodium she responds, “Uh, touch my caramels, and I’m-a cut a bitch.” See, funny. Preach woman!
Jeff wants Teddy to sign a contract for Maddie to Edgehill Records, but we all know how Rayna feels about that. Maddie and Rayna write a beautiful song together called Real Life because, “That’s what we’re livin.”
Obviously, Teddy would never sign the contract. Except, now he has to because of a little incident we like to call the-time-you-repeatedly-slept-with-a-prostitute-and-Jeff-Forham-knows-about-it. Blackmail’s a you-know-what.
But, according to next week’s promo, Rayna is one southern mamma you don’t wanna mess with:
