| What Happens After Rayna Dies On Nashville |
The Aftermath: Deacon Lost and Found (Mostly Lost)
Deacon, our resident brooding musician with a heart of gold, is about as lost as a fiddle without a string. Raising Maddie and Daphne solo becomes his Everest, and let's be honest, Deacon's parenting skills are about as polished as a bar fly's reputation. There's fighting, tears, teenage angst galore – basically, a fun time for everyone involved.
Love? Don't even get us started. Deacon throws himself into a whirlwind of rebound relationships, each more disastrous than the last. Let's just say, finding a good woman in Nashville after Rayna is like finding a decent spray tan – not impossible, but highly improbable.

Juliette, Rayna's frenemy/rival/occasional duet partner, is all shook after Rayna's death. Her carefully constructed mean-girl facade starts to crumble, revealing a surprisingly vulnerable woman underneath. Will Juliette finally learn the true meaning of friendship? Will she use her newfound depth to create soul-crushing ballads that top the charts? Spoiler alert: kind of, but mostly not.
The Highway 65 Gang: How Do You Move on When Your Den Mom Dies?
The talented crew at Highway 65 Records is left reeling. Gunnar and Scarlett try (and fail) to navigate the awkward dance of will-they-won't-they. Avery Barkley, ever the charmer, attempts to woo Juliette with his brooding good looks and questionable songwriting skills. Let's just say, life at Highway 65 becomes a whole lot less glamorous without Rayna's steely leadership and killer outfits.
