Maddie pays Deacon a visit and tells him that she thinks he’s her real father. When he discusses it with Rayna backstage at the CMA’s she admits that it’s true. Thirteen years ago when Deacon was a drunken mess she and Teddy decided to get married and raise the baby regardless of the fact that Maddie was Deacon’s. He heads to the bar and falls off the wagon as Rayna and Teddy try to explain all of the lies to Maddie.
Deacon drinks for the first time in years and as Rayna is trying to comfort Juliette at her mother’s funeral, he is in a fistfight with Teddy. From there he goes home and is confronted by Gunnar and Scarlett. Deacon is totally out of control. He continues drinking as he gets ready to attend Jolene’s memorial service. Rayna sits down alone with Maddie and explains to her that she loved Teddy and wanted her to have a good father and that that’s why she married him.
Just to make things a bit messier, Peggy meets briefly with Teddy and tells him that she’s pregnant/ Deacon shows up at Jolene’s but leaves immediately. Rayna demands he let her drive and the two end up having a brutal battle of words in the car. Season one ends with Rayna flipping the car a few times after swerving to miss another vehicle and Gunnar on bended knee proposing to Scarlett.
The end!
