Juliette calls Avery while he is trying to pack up his tour bus and begins rattling off baby names that she has been considering for their daughter – Avery tries to tell her that he is a little busy at the moment. She has a pregnant hormonal breakdown and throws the phone across the room. She rants to her assistant that the table settings Rayna picked out for her baby shower are hideous and begins taking them off the table and throwing them away. On tour Avery and Gunnar are waiting to leave – but Scarlett is running late. Gunnar is obviously upset that she was out all night, when she finally shows up he snaps at her that she needs to set her alarm clock and take their gig more seriously.
At home Teddy receives a blocked all from Tasha. He hisses at her that she should not be calling him, not even on prepaid phones. Tasha cries that she is scared she might not make it out of the country without getting busted. Teddy doesn’t want to hear it – he tells her to lay low and never call him again and then he hangs up on her.
Rayna arrives at the police station with her lawyer Michael Reese, while they are sneaking in the back entrance to avoid the press Rayna runs in to Luke.

At the police station Sadie’s statement is one being filed. The officer in charge warns Sadie that she is free to go, but she can’t leave town – Pete’s death is still being investigated as a homicide and she was in possession of an unregistered gun. Rayna argues that Sadie had a restraining order and it was just self-defense. They head back to Rayna’s house and she makes Sadie a cup of tea – she reassures her that she will be there for her through this. Sadie breaks down and tells her how scared she was of Pete, she needed the gun to make herself feel safer – she never meant to kill him.
Juliette is having a pregnant diva meltdown because no one is coming to her baby shower, she smashed the cake and kicks the stuffed animals across the floor.

Deacon and Teddy begin fighting, and then Deacon breaks down and confesses that he has cancer and they just told Maddie last night, that is why she is upset. Teddy heads upstairs to Maddie’s room to try and talk to her – she breaks down and cries and admits that every single time she looks at Deacon all that she can picture is him dying. She begs Teddy to promise her he won’t get sick and die on her until he is really old.
On the tour bus Gunnar asks Avery what he and Scarlett were talking about earlier – Avery admits that Scarlett wanted to know why Gunnar was acting strange towards her.

Rayna stops by Juliette’s and sees that she cancelled the shower and trashed all of the decorations.

Suddenly Juliette grabs her stomach and whispers that her water just broke.
Teddy leaves Deacon’s house and on his way to his car he runs in to Tasha. He demands to know how she found him and what she is doing there. She sobs that she isn’t going to be safe for much longer and she needs Teddy to get her the money so she can get out of the country.
Maddie finally comes out of the bedroom that she locked herself in all day and she cries to Deacon that she is just so angry. Deacon reassures her that he is just as angry as she is – but she can’t shut him out right now.
Avery learns that he is going to be a father and Juliette is in labor and he abandons Scarlett and Gunnar on tour – they are forced to go up on stage together and play the next concert as a duo, but they aren’t on speaking terms.
