The fallout from last week’s episode of Deacon joining the
tour as Juliette’s guitar player continues as the group land in Chicago for two
sold-out shows. After Deacon lets on to Juliette on a couple of occasions he’s overwhelmed
with the amount of entourage her tour comes with, Juliette starts to feel like
she doesn’t want to do her whole ‘brand’ thing anymore and she wants to get
more serious, despite the warnings of her manager. She writes a song with
Deacon called ‘Consider Me’ that is more in line with that musical ethos and
Deacon tells her that “there’s thinking about something, and there’s just doing
it”, which appears to be the running theme for this episode. Because of this,
Juliette decides to begin her second night’s set with the stripped down song as
a surprise, that not even Deacon knows about. Her manager is livid but the
performance appears to go really well. Back in the dressing room Juliette hears
of thousands of angry tweets slamming her performance, including an important
reviewer. She mulls over them until her assistant, who really enjoyed the song,
shows her the love on YouTube and everything is righted, making Juliette more
determined than ever to do what she wants.

Rayna is also having a difficult time, trying to adjust to
Deacon being on the tour after being knocked back by him again and again,
whilst facing the wrath of Teddy over the phone who’s convinced it was Rayna’s
idea. Deacon mostly refuses to speak to her, and there are several awkward
elevator scenes, until Juliette’s manager confronts Deacon after finding out
her convinced Juliette to perform ‘Consider Me’. He says that Deacon has no
business telling her the distinctions between thinking and doing, and that all
he had ever seen Deacon do is think. Straight after this, Deacon gets in the
same elevator as Rayna and BAM! He passionately kisses her (with her kissing
back) and every fan of the couple melted (including me).
