Rayna falls apart a bit this week, after Teddy’s announcing
that he wants a divorce. She is terrified of telling her daughters in the
knowledge that it’ll ruin their childhoods. Struggling to keep going with the
tour, it just so happens that Liam is staying in the same hotel, and during a
post-show party he turns up to he shows his concern for Rayna. He offers to
help her forget her troubles and so Rayna goes off to a bar with him to get drunk
and dance. A few shots down the line she spills all the things that are going
on in her life, and after being spotted by a couple of elderly fans they decide
to go back to the hotel. Liam kisses her outside his hotel room and even though
Rayna stops it and freaks out at her cheating, Liam persuades her it’s okay.
She follows him inside his room, clearly under the knowledge they’ll sleep
together and she appears very nervous at commiting adultery. Heading to the
bathroom, she ends up crying, and when Liam goes looking for her they sit down
and have a heart to heart. It doesn’t seem like they sleep together, but when
the next morning comes and Rayna is hungover, Deacon spots them in the hotel
lobby chatting and giggling together and, expecting the worst, he snaps at her
getting into the tour bus, clearly feeling betrayed after his kiss with Rayna
in the previous episode.
