On last episode Jeff was expecting Juliette to formally apologize for her behavior during her Grand Ole Opry ceremony, but at the last minute she had a change of heart and decided to standby the choices she’s made.

Deacon was discovering his record deal might not be what he expected and Scarlett’s collaboration with Liam got off to a rocky start. Will and Layla discovered they aren’t all that different and found comfort in one another’s company and Teddy would stop at nothing to reveal Lamar’s connection to Peggy’s death.

Juliette’s phone is ringing – she’s missed 10 calls from Emily but she just wants to snuggle with Avery and stay off the grid. There’s a knock at the door and she begs him not to answer the persistent knock. She tells him she’s not there and jumps under the covers. It’s Deacon. He tells him he’s recording his live album at the Blue Bird the next night and asks Avery to engineer it for him. Avery says he’d love to and Deacon says it’s low budget but he can pay him. He says he wants it to sound like it’s really at the Blue Bird. Avery suggests a dry run later to get Deacon out of there. He asks Avery if he’s talked to Juliette and he says she’s been laying low and keeping her head down (literally) – he says she messed up with the Opry thing. He leaves and Juliette pops out of the covers making a face.
Rayna is making her video for her new single. Tandy is there and reassures her sister that she’s making a good investment. Tandy lies about her fake spa week and Rayna says she doesn’t understand how their Dad is being released from jail. She says she wonders if he’s really innocent. Rayna says the girls are planning a surprise party and insists that Tandy be there even though she tries to beg off.
Will is listening to demos for his May 1st album which they’re putting up against Rayna’s. Gunnar says it’s a compliment and Will says the songs suck he has to choose from.

Gunnar asks Will if that seemed weird and he agrees.

Rayna asks why he didn’t get help. He’s crying and says by the time he got to her car down the embankment she was already gone.

He tells the crowd that they know his story and that he’s had some dark times. He says in one of those recent times, an angel appeared and he sings the song he wrote for Megan.

He looks at her and doesn’t answer. She tells him he can’t see her or the girls again and as far as she’s concerned both of her parents are dead. She walks out on him.
Will plays and sings a song at home when Gunnar comes home. He’s doing the song Gunnar suggested – the ballad. Gunnar listens and digs it. Will is really feeling it and looks all angsty.

He tells him he never had enough information to take him down. Teddy tells him Tandy was the snitch and that he’s going to make him pay for Peggy’s death.

THE END!
