"Nashville" - "You're No Angel Yourself" - Oct. 16, 2013

Tandy, Rayna, Maddie and Daphne visit the grave of Virginia Wyatt. Maddie rudely listens to Deacon's music on her iPod noting she never met her grandmother. Rayna says she hopes they can have a relationship with her anyway. She then tells them she's taking them to the Symphony gala and they can dress up and have fun. Daphne is thrilled, Maddie literally scowls and says "big whoop."

Juliette arrives home to see that Charlie Wentworth has sent her a car. She asks Glen about resuming the tour with Rayna. He notes there are rumors she can't sing. Juliette notes that's what Iip synching is for and tells him to get it going.

Rayna talks to her mom's gravestone about her struggle to talk to Maddie and what a hard year it's been. She says she's not quite sure who she is right now since she has lost her voice.

Peggy is in the bathroom looking at a negative test, having failed to get pregnant into tricking Teddy into believing she was. She comes out and he's buzzing that a congressional exploratory committee is interested in having him run for a soon-to-be vacant senate seat. He comes from a long line of senator's and although his dad besmirched the Conrad name, Teddy thinks he can turn it around. In a roundabout way he asks Peggy to marry him by handing him his grandmother's engagement ring. She asks if he's asking to avoid a scandal or so they can be a family. He wonders if it's bad if he says both. She hugs him. He asks her not to wear it until he can tell the girls.

Will, Scarlett and Layla have a photo shoot. Will and Layla do great but Scarlett is stiff, unsmiling, and apparently not interested in being photographed looking super hot. Brent tells Will the label wants him to record Gunnar's song. He says he needs to ask permission first.

Deacon goes to see his old lawyer comes to apologize for being rude and thank her her help. And pay her. She won't take his money and asks for a dinner date instead.

Tandy talks to a private detective. It turns out there's good circumstantial evidence that Lamar was in fact involved in his wife's death. A housekeeper claimed his alibi was fake and heard the couple talking, Virginia saying she was leaving. The housekeeper later recanted and died a short time later. Tandy is disappointed but doesn't seem surprised.

Rayna visits Juliette and says she has to cancel the tour. She says insurance will cover it. Juliette notes that insurance won't cover promoting her new album and she doesn't have a near death tragedy to boost record sales like Rayna. Rayna apologizes but says she has to be there for her family and that Juliette will figure it out.

Zoey stands in a church and sings. She is of course talented. Scarlett catches her and is impressed. They reminisce about singing in the church choir at Zoey's father's church. The number she was singing she will perform on Sunday. Scarlett says singing it starting to feel like work. Zoey says it is her work now and she should be grateful. Scarlett is grateful but says some of the things they're making her do are weird.

Will goes to Gunnar about cutting the song and notes it could be a single which would be good for them both. Gunnar doesn't like the idea but Will convinces him to think about it.

Avery is the new bar back at the Bluebird. Gunnar is not happy about this.

Rayna, Tandy and the girls show up at the Symhony gala and Maddie proceeds to pout and whine through the whole thing.

Juliette and Glen are at the rehearsal space and she talks about the tour, wanting to do all new songs and leave the teenybopper production behind and get a new stage. Glen says her fans want sparkle and flash and everything else she's been peddling the last few years. He notes if they do all new stuff she'll need to play secondary markets and smaller venues. She does not like this but he says she's got no chance of selling out arenas if she doesn't cater to the young fans who got her there. She appears to acquiesce.

Lamar speaks lovingly about his wife's love of music at the Symphony gala and has the crowd toast Virginia Wyatt.

Deacon and his lawyer have dinner and chat. She notices his problems with his hand and tries to draw him into another lawsuit against the city for the care he got in jail. He demurs and asks why a fancy lawyer would defend the like's of him.

The symphony gala continues with Maddie bitching at Rayna. Peggy arrives and Maddie notices her grandmother's ring about Peggy's neck, because she is, stupidly, wearing it as a necklace. Maddie freaks out says she hates both Teddy and Rayna and runs off. Teddy apologizes to Rayna for bringing Peggy and. tells her Peggy's pregnant.

Back at dinner the fancy lady lawyer explains that her husband was killed by a young driver. Over time she grew to stop hating and forgive him and that's why she takes court-appointed cases from time to time.

Zoey and Scarlett watch a movie and reminisce. Apparently, Scarlett's always been a good girl. And Zoey, a preacher's daughter did too, mostly, but now it's time to have some fun.

Tandy compliments Lamar's speech and quizzes him about the night of her mother's death.

Juliette practices for tour with a bunch of dancers singing one of her hooky old songs. She stops and notes that everything about it feels wrong. She says she doesn't want to do these overproduced numbers. Glen notes her audience wants them and notes she is only 24 years old. Juliette reinforces that and says that this is her time to move on.

Maddie is missing and Teddy, and Lamar bicker and Rayna leaves to find her daughter.

Glen reports to Juliette that Edgehil just signed country superstar Luke Wheeler an he recommends she open for him and that way she can transition to her new style. Juliette doesn't like the idea of going from headliner to opening act.

Gunna sings his song in the Bluebird alone. Avery overhears and notes that it needs steel and piano and notes that it's too bad that he's giving it away since it could be a hit.

Back at his place on the couch. fancy lady lawyer and Deacon talk about their flaws. She has very few. Rayna shows up at Deacon's worried about Maddie. interrupting his date.

Maddie meets up with Juliette and she brings her back to her house and outfits with her some PJs.

Zoey and Scarlett do shots and Scarette notices someone taking pictures. She approaches him and he says he saw her at the Ryman and is a fan and asks for her autograph She and Zoey sing "Come See About Me."

Juliette comforts Maddie who says she can't deal with family and wishes she could just play music. Juliette notes Rayna must be freaking and points out that Rayna quit the tour to be with her family and she has to cal her.

After Rayna leaves the lawyer connects the dots between him and Maddie. He admits the whole thing threw him for a loop. She says it was also hard for her when her husband died and she never again felt like the older version of herself. He notes he doesn't know the first thing about being a father.

Rayna shows up at Juliette's to collect Maddie who is now sleeping. Juliette notes that Rayna does need to be home with family after all. She lets Rayna know she knows about Deacon but says she won't say anything. She says Maddie clearly wants to talk about it and Rayna should too since at some point life is not about what you want anymore and you gotta do what you gotta do. Which clearly gives Juliette her own idea.

The next day Rayna talks to Maddie about her courtship with Deacon and seems to thaw the ice between them. They talk about a song he wrote for her. Says she knows it's hard but she's her your momma and here for her. She says they should not push each other away. They both say I love you. Rayna leaves the room to take care of Daphne and Deacon calls her. Maddie picks up and he says he was caling to see how she was doing. Other than grounded she says she's okay. He notes a lot of people were worried about her and asks her not to run off again. She says she won't and they hang up and she calls him "dad" out loud.

Tandy goes to see the US attorney and gives up Lamar, handing over a USB drive on it with proof of his various nefarious dealings. The attorney asks why and she says Lamar needs to be punished in whatever way he can be.

Will and Gunnar meet about the song and Gunnar turns him down but says he can have any other song of mine. Will protests that it will be a hit and Gunnar says that's why he has to keep it for himself. He knows he may never get half as far as Will but wants to try. Will says Gunnar is too short-sighted to see the truth which is that Gunnar is jealous.

Juliette compromises and asks Layla to open for her tour. Layla agrees. Juliette tells Glen to send the car back to Charles Wentworth.

Daphne comes into Maddie's room and asks Maddie why she left her. Maddie says that Teddy is starting a new family she won't be part of. Daphne notes that they are still sisters, no matter what. Maddie invites her to sing a song with her, it's one from Deacon. They harmonize and Rayna listens at door. She tries to sing along just to herself and can't..
