On last week’s show Juliette planed a surprise birthday party for Deacon, which was attended by real-life country stars Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), Vince Gill, Pam Tillis, Kate York and Kip Moore. During the celebration, Rayna sang, backed up by Pam Tillis and Kate York as themselves, Watty White (JD Souther) and Adria (Erin McCarley). However, Juliette’s own performance was derailed by her mother.
On tonight’s show Katie Couric guest stars as herself when Rayna appears on the “Katie” show, trying to set the record straight about her marriage and balancing her career with motherhood. Juliette attempts to take her album launch into her own hands but it backfires when she tweets out a surprise concert location. Maddie lies to Teddy about her whereabouts — with dangerous consequences — and Deacon is drawn to his dog’s pretty new veterinarian, Stacey. Meanshile Avery tries to control his musical destiny by flouting Dominic and Marilyn, and things are awkward between Scarlett and Gunnar, as he continues to process his brother’s death.
Gunnar finally returns to Scarlett and she’s furious that he blew off the audition but frankly, he could care less. His brother is dead and no one cares to investigate it. The police are acting like he was just another junkie and insignificance. At the hospital Rayna and Teddy are sitting waiting for info on Maddie. Rayna wants to cancel her trip and to stay at the house. Teddy refuses and tells her she needs to hit the bricks, he can take care of their kid. Juliette is really upset that her tweet about the surprise show caused such a frenzy. Well, ok maybe she’s not but she’s at least phased when Rayna calls and yells at her for taking responsibility for hurting those around her.
Gunnar is on a mission to find out what happened to his brother. He heads to the bar to learn whatever the cops aren’t but Scarlett and Deacon stop him outside the place. Deacon tells him that he gets it because he once made his friend drive drunk and he died because of it.

Rayna is facing some serious decisions in how to deal with her divorce situation. Katie Couric has requested that she be a guest on her talk show to set the record straight and it’s an offer that may require some serious consideration.
Deacon is still debating whether or not to keep the dog and takes it to see a vet named Stacey. She catches his eye by telling him that she hates country music and rolls her eyes at the notion that music is kind of his career. Rayna and Teddy are finding their way through their divorce and have decided to split their time between their family home. She calls to tell him that she’s leaving their family home and asks him to keep all of his new playtime chicks out of their family home. Deacon and Stacey moved really fast- as in right into his bed. In the middle of the afternoon, between her vet appointments and his meeting Juliette. She plays it off like it was a quick fling but he seems to be a bit more invested.
Maddie is a pretty smart kid. After Rayna tells Teddy she’s grounded she calls him and interrupts an important meeting. She lies and says that after her homework was done her mom said she could go out. She then hightails it to see a show that show goes radically wrong with Maddie narrowly escaping as the packed house all scrambles to escape the theater. Meanwhile Scarlett is trying to book an important gig and when Gunnar doesn’t show up she’s on her own. Rayna sits in but gets up and leaves after she gets a text about Maddie. She’s at the hospital with a concussion.
Gunnar finally returns to Scarlett and she’s furious that he blew off the audition but frankly, he could care less. His brother is dead and no one cares to investigate it. The police are acting like he was just another junkie and insignificance. At the hospital Rayna and Teddy are sitting waiting for info on Maddie. Rayna wants to cancel her trip and to stay at the house. Teddy refuses and tells her she needs to hit the bricks, he can take care of their kid. Juliette is really upset that her tweet about the surprise show caused such a frenzy. Well, ok maybe she’s not but she’s at least phased when Rayna calls and yells at her for taking responsibility for hurting those around her.

Rayna just can’t stay away from home. She ends up at the front door talking to Teddy.. She tells him that she knows Maddie is in good hands but it’s now time to talk to her and he agrees. Rayna gives Maddie the first guitar that she ever played. She tells her that she and her father both love her and ,maybe music can be an outlet through their divorce.
Avery is the last to take the stage for his showcase with a ballad as we watch Gunnar and Scarlett discuss how pity hasn’t brought them closer, but something more. Rayna decides to totally come clean while sitting down with Katie Couric. She opens up about her divorce as Teddy and her daughters look on.
