MickeyG123---I'm with you on the Rayna too sanctimonious and self righteous, as an ex-country singer person who has seen all the dirty behind the seens BS of sex,drugs,and alchohol she can't be trusted. After 12 yrs she still has feelings for a complete asshole alcie who wants nothing from her but another piece. By the way her oldest daughter is his during one of their drunken sex thrills 12 yrs ago, wait till Teddy finds this out he doesn't know it but i'm sure he suspects.

Regarding Rayna and Teddy's marriage, he's trying, she's not. Rayna is really becoming my least favorite character on this show. In fact, I thought Juliette is starting to show more class than Rayna. I really like the scene between Juliette and her mother where the two somewhat reconciled. Love Scarlett and Gunnar. Hope they become a couple soon.

I do not like the character Rayna James. She is too sanctimonious and self righteous for my taste. She castigated Teddy for hugging his friend but she can flirt and rub all over Liam, on stage? She has had quiet intimate conversations with Deacon. she has had more to say to her ex- lover than her husband. She is constantly throwing in Teddy's face she is the bread winner, the money maker. But Teddy took on the role of stay at home Dad so she would have the freedom to keep on with her career. And then when Juliette's assistant mentioned Jolene's rehab stint and Rayna snickered, well if that doesn't show how self absorbed the Queen of Country is, I don't know what does. And Deacon? Seems most posters like the erstwhile bad boy that couldn't even keep a promise for a few hours to a fellow alcoholic. He has no committments, no true responsibilities Yet he's the one Rayna and most women or fawning over. Give me Steady Teddy any day of the week!!!!!!!

One of the things I really like about this show is the writing. Just when a character starts to do something predictable it's takes a clever turn. For instance, when another show might have Deacon's character just start drinking again, here he turns his inner angst into something proactive(with the help of an ever evolving Juliette).
The female characters are very well written and layered. No doubt due to Callie Khouri whom I have been a fan of since "Thelma & Louise". And if that "Consulting Producer" by the name of Nancy Miller is the same woman who created "Saving Grace", then I can understand why. Two of the best writers for women in the business.
Interesting juxtaposition of Rayna's getting a stronger hold on her professional life while losing the same in her personal life.
And let's hope Juliette continues to see she can be stronger and deeper than she's let herself be in the past.
Well done show. Enjoying the emotional backstories that are now coming into play.
This was a really good episode!
It is good that Rayna and Teddy talked about their marriage, however I really do not think they are in love anymore and I do not see them working it out, there is only so long they can carry on the way it is.
Juliette was back to her old ways again, that is until she went and talked to her mom and her mom told her how proud she was of her. Juliette also had a sweet moment with Deacon when she went to his house, after she walked in mad at him for not showing up for the party but as soon as she saw him she knew he was in a bad place.
Avery has always been way to egotistical and when he said that the sign should just read Avery Barker I had to snicker. He has not been famous long enough to pull that crap! I hope that his deal tanks and that his old band become a hit with Gunnar and Scarlet! That will be sweet karma!
I liked Liam, it is too bad he turned out to be a jerk though.

I like this show.
Last nights episode was probably one of the best ones.....
Kinda disappointed they are dragging out this thing with Rayna and Teddy.....I think now that Deacon is with Rayna this will finally come to a head.....
Scarlett is becoming less and less the shy little girl type and I'm glad.....but I'm afraid Gunnar is going to end up in trouble because of his brother..........at least he doesn't know where he's at.......only that he's been through Nashville.
Rayna (to Juliette): Honey that perfume you're wearing is 80 proof.
