Nashville: Welcome Back Rayna!

Nashville: Welcome Back Rayna!

Posted by Dustin on 10.24.2013 at 2:15 pm

So it’s been a few weeks since I blogged about “Nashville.” After the premier there were some good episodes, and some snoozers. These are just my general thoughts on the major storylines.

I’ve really actually felt bad for Juliette lately. Her tour is falling apart, and the new guy at Edgehill is all about the new young artists and isn’t supporting her or her desire to get away from the tween market. I loved that when Maddy called her after the blow-out with her parents, that Juliette called Rayna and didn’t use Maddy or the Deacon secret to somehow hurt her. I really felt bad for her in this last episode when she overheard some guy talking to Rayna about how much it sucks that her big come-back had to happen on the same night they were forced to pander to that “flash in the pan” Juliette.

Deacon’s new relationship with his lawyer is boring the crap out of me. I do like that Scarlett is finally pushing him back into music. He can’t seem to play the guitar, but he can still write music. I’m sure he will undergo some radical operation to get his hand back to normal. Meanwhile Scarlett is finding life at the new Edgehill not what she was expecting or prepared for. I see her being dropped as some kind of punishment for Rayna given what Rayna did in the last episode.

Avery pushed Gunnar not to let closet case Will record his song for Edgehill, saying Gunnar should do it himself. This caused a rift between Will and Gunnar. Will is now dating Juliette’s “American Idol Winner” nemesis that Edgehill is promoting as the new Juliette Barnes. I suspect Will will be forced out of the closet pretty soon.

Avery recruited Scarlett’s childhood friend, who has moved to Nashville, and along with Gunnar they worked on music together. It looks like they are possibly going to become the next Lady Antebellum? Avery seems to have ulterior motives though. He could see Gunnar and the girl were into one another, and indeed they hooked up. I think he sees this as his ticket to getting Gunnar out of the way so he can get Scarlett back.

Rumors began to leak about Rayna’s voice and that she had lost it. She was working with a coach, but it seemed fear more than anything was keeping her from seeing if she still had a voice. At a Grand Ole Opry event where she was asked invite Juliette to join, Rayna was pushed into singing for the audience there and watching at home on TV. She found her voice though, and can sing.

Bolstered by her performance, and a talk with Lamar earlier, she told the new president of Edgehill that she was done with his label and will be buying out her contract. Lamar agreed to give her the money to start her own label.

Unfortunately Rayna opened her mouth too soon. After Tandy handed over evidence to the FBI to punish her father for what she believes was his part in her mom’s death, Lamar was arrested and all his assets frozen. She visited him in jail, apparently ready to tell him what she did. He however thinks it was Teddy! He vowed to crush Teddy. Hey, I can get on board with that plan. I do hope we get the truth about what happened to their mom though. Did Lamar really do something to cause her death?
