Nashville’s Return!

Nashville’s Return!

“Nashville” had its second season premier last night with a good episode, not a great one. It definitely set up a lot of drama for this season though. I felt in many ways this episode was supposed to introduce the show and all the storylines from season one to any newcomers. That’s why I didn’t think it was a “great” episode.

Following last season’s car accident, Rayna was in a medically induced coma for pretty much the entire show. Deacon meanwhile told the cops it was him who was driving, and he was in jail pending a trial. He basically felt guilt for the accident, and for a lot of things, so he decided he should be locked up and have the key thrown away. We saw segments of Deacon and Rayna’s past together, how he screwed things up the first time with his drinking, how Rayna’s sister pushed her to dump Deacon and marry Teddy who was stable and could provide for her and the baby.

Juliette meanwhile was all about herself still, though she had a few moments. Her album drops tomorrow, but because of “Saint Rayna in a Coma,” Rayna’s recent release “The Best of Rayna” is doing phenomenal and Juliette worries she’ll be outsold. There is no one to talk to about pushing the album back because the record label has been absorbed by another, and nobody has been put in charge yet. Juliette decided to make the best of the situation and stages a tribute to Rayna during the concert and then lead everyone to the hospital to pray. Her publicity stunt backfires though when Maddie sees her and pulls her into the hospital. Juliette was planning to sneak out the back and just leave!

Juliette’s two moments were actually being there for others. Maddie opened up to her about her dad thing, which was probably a huge mistake to give Juliette that ammo. Juliette gave Maddie her number to call her and talk anytime she wanted. Was she being genuine? I sure hope so! But I could see Juliette using this information to her advantage. Scarlet also asked Rayna for a loan to pay Deacon’s bail with. She initially said no, that addicts will always disappoint you and to get used to life without him. Later she seemed to have a change of heart and began arranging for his bail to be paid. However before that could even happen, Deacon’s court appointed lawyer figured out that it was Rayna who was driving. Rayna woke up by the end of the episode and cleared Deacon’s name.

Also going on is whatever the continuing drama between Gunnar, Scarlet and Avery is. Zzzzzzzzz! I’m so over these three to be honest. Scarlet said no to Gunnar’s proposal, and since then it seems they’ve been broken up. Gunnar is living with Will, who is still living in the closet and denying he’s gay. Both Avery and Gunnar aren’t over Scarlet though.

Peggy found out she miscarried the baby, if she was ever even pregnant. She claims three home pregnancy tests proved it, but her first ultrasound showed nothing. I think she just convinced her body she was pregnant when she never was. She then lied to Teddy about the baby to try and keep him from dumping her. He had initially agreed to give her financial support, but that was all he could or would do.

Finally Rayna’s sister is still being hounded by the feds. She refused to turn on her dad in spite of all that happened, and she felt if their info came from Teddy than it’s possibly bogus. They told her they have very good reason to believe that her mother’s death was no accident, and that Lamar was involved! Duh Duh Duh Duhhhhhhhhhh!

The previews showed both Rayna and Deacon struggling, both worry the accident cost them their careers. Deacon’s hand was badly injured, and Rayna fears she’s lost her voice. Juliette meanwhile has some new and up-n-coming adversary at the new label. Looks like Rayna isn’t her only competition anymore.
