Heres the problem, though: The situation is only getting worse. As the photographer leaves, Rayna gets a delivery. Its a summons to appear in court in two days for Maddies emancipation hearing. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC It looks like shes really going through with it. Meanwhile, Juliette and Layla are about to kill each other. Things arent so good between Scarlett and Gunnar, either. Cmon, Scarlett, you at least have to celebrate that!...
Were only seven episodes into this season ofNashville, and weve already had two deaths. shes bleary-eyed and hungover and completely surprised to hear of Jeffs death. Apparently coldness runs in the Fordham family. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC Of course, when a secret is kept onNashvillethings tend to go south real quick. Also back in Nashville, Deacon reveals his big purchase to Rayna, and shes less than pleased. When she sees The Beverly shes hesitant....
Theres runaway teenagers, misguided romances, alcohol binges, and escorts. He smartly declines the offer, though, after he realizes she doesnt want Scarlett to come along. Working with your ex will leave you feeling a little wanting, thats for sure. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC For the first time in awhile, Layla gets some good news. Shes told that her opening set is going to be filmed. Theres only one problem, though, and she just doesnt know about it yet....
But, I promise that wont affect this recap. For all the Deacon/Rayna stans out there, lets do this. The wedding bells are ringing. Credit: ABC/Mark Levine Everything seems to be going well until the rehearsal dinner at the Bluebird. It doesnt get much better from there though. So much for a small, quiet wedding. Damn, Nashville is intense! Luckily, said publicist has a solution and sets about reconfiguring a private barn for the ceremony....
A new girl in town impresses Rayna. But who is she really? On the docket this week: hate crimes, breakups, divorces, reunions, felonies, and theft. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC And this isNashville, so I mean belt buckle. Theres a lot going on in tonightsNashville, with everyone moving into new directions. Avery is first seen going to the rehab center where Juliette is recovering. Layla is meeting with Rayna and securing a deal for a second record....
Crazy, I know. It seems as though everyone in Nashville is gearing up for some sort of business venture. Of course, all these business moves dont go down exactly as planned. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC First up, Deacon thinks hes got a great plan to really put the Beverly on the map. So, he books him into the Beverly for one night, taking over Frankies spot. Or, Deacon isnt giving him many options....
So lets get to it! Apparently Autumn knows every single white male musician from the 70s. Im looking forward to Gunnar meeting Paul Simon next week. Credit: ABC/Mark Levine Nashvilledoesnt have too many couples doing too well right now. Hard to blame the girl. (Side note: Are we getting to any revelations about Jeff sometime soon? I sure hope they address it in the finale.) At their therapy session, both Rayna and Deacon go on about how magnetic their relationship is....
Juliette and Jeff are literally pushed to the edge. I was prepared to say some nasty things about Jeff in this recap. More chaotic speculation later. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC Juliette is obviously the worst off right now. Couple that with her obvious addiction issues, and you have a recipe for disaster. Oh, and she attacks a fan who tries to take a selfie with her. Cant forget about that! They have a one-night stand, and Erin takes off without offering a phone number....
And that, my friend, is what we call closure. SeveralNashvillerelationships are teetering the line of a pivotal make-it-or-break-it moment. If Ross and Rachel taught us anything, its that people need closure. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC And boy, did we get some closure. Juliette and Avery One of the more annoying members of Juliettes entourage welcomes her out of a drug-induced sleep. She hands Juliette a few pills and a mimosa the breakfast of champions....
Man, how much misery canNashvillepack into a single episode? Judging by tonights (and last weeks!) Seriously, this show is reveling in its characters being down in the dumps. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC The only things that seem to be holding up are Raynas and Gunnars hair. That girl needs you, Deacon! Avery certainly misses having Juliette at home, but for now hes finding comfort in Emilys help. Instead hed rather wallow, which is fine, but stop pushing everyone away!...
Its just part of the shows DNA. The episode opens on Rayna and Deacon prepping for court, and they dont look too happy about it. It wasnt just the scotch, says Scarlett after Gunnar worries shes going to think they made a mistake. Credit: ABC/Mark Levine Will and Juliette are doing pretty great, too! Will hears his song on the radio while hes in the shower, and his joyous reaction is adorable....
Its not the reaction shes hoping for, but it is somewhat understandable. In walks Deacon to unknowingly save the day. While Markus is finding his final song, Will is trying to get his songwriting career off the ground. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC Hes ecstatic, especially when he learns that his song has already been claimed by a huge artist. That leaves Will in a tough spot, something Luke knows a thing or two about....
After weeks and weeks of absolute chaos, everyone onNashvilleis finally starting to find some steady ground. Rayna and Markus in particular, despite working long hours, seem to be working toward something special. While I dont find Markus song appealing in the slightest, Rayna clearly sees something in his vocal take. Credit: Mark Levine/ABC Theres an obvious strain in their relationship, even if Deacon doesnt really notice it. That strain is only heightened when Maddie comes downstairs with newly dyed hair, now blond like Juliette Barnes....
