Nashville: The End Of Edgehill?
I’ve been keeping up with, but keep forgetting to write about “Nashville.” So here are my thoughts on the latest episodes.
I wasn’t too sorry to see Peggy go after the winter finale. Her character had played itself out and dug herself so deep. Given what a shmuck Teddy has been, I really didn’t feel too bad for him either.
Deacon has himself a record deal and is fairly happy with his lawyer girlfriend, however she is now working with Teddy on a case to try and take down Lemar for the attempt on his life which killed Peggy. Based on the previews, I have a bad feeling Teddy will take up with her in order to stick it to Deacon in some perverted sense of payback/punishment because of what happened with Maddie.
Will is still struggling with his sexuality, and in spite of Gunnar telling him to be himself or he’ll never be happy, he keeps taking up with Layla. Layla seems to have no inspiration when trying to write a song with Gunnar, and is finding herself worried about Will’s dedication to her. My guess is she’ll soon find inspiration when she figures Will out, and will end up outing him in a new hit song.
I’ve hated seeing Juliette spiral downwards after being set up by some preacher who took her words out of context and has turned everyone against her. However rather than beg for forgiveness as Jeff demanded she do, she wrote a new song to spit in his and her turncoat fans’ faces. Wow! I loved that fire in her, and for once I find myself on her side and rooting for her.
Jeff however immediately dropped her, and later realized he had lost Rayna and Juliette in a matter of months. Ouch, he’s not off to a good start as the new president and Edgehill is now in big trouble. All he could do was try and buy up shelf space in stores to prevent Rayna’s album from getting much distribution space when it drops. Hello, has nobody heard of iTunes and digital distribution in this town? My guess is that eventually Rayna will sign Juliette to her new label, which probably will not make Juliette too happy. However no other label wants to touch her right now.
Rayna brought Liam in to help Scarlett with her album. While he has helped her find a stronger voice, it looks like he also has helped her get addicted to pills. He gave her some pep-up pills as she was exhausted after working 24 hours straight. Yup, it looks like she’s going to become a speed junkie. I think she also will end up falling for Liam.
Finally Tandy went into hiding, fearing when Lamar found out she and not Teddy sold him out, he’d have her killed like he tried with Teddy. The feds found her though, but with her lawyer she found a way out of the entire mess. Unfortunately it meant the entire case against Lamar was dropped, as she made her evidence inadmissible, so Lamar is now free! Tandy better hope he never finds out the truth, but I think he possibly already knows.
