Country music superstar Rayna James finds her career starting to waver. In an attempt to help her reclaim some of her former glory, her label suggests she team up with rising star Juliette Barnes on tour, much to Rayna's disapproval.

Rayna and Teddy are sobered to learn that they are facing financial ruin, but Rayna won't consider borrowing money from her father or going on tour with Juliette.

Juliette tries to improve her tarnished image by giving an interview on national television, but her performance only makes matters worse. Meanwhile, the arrival of a woman from Teddy's past tests his marriage.

Rayna thinks about moving on when Deacon sets boundaries in their relationship. Meanwhile, Deacon is reminded of difficult moments in his past and tension between Gunnar and Avery puts pressure on Scarlet.

Rayna seeks the help of a music producer to change her sound. Meanwhile, Juliette goes on a date with a squeaky-clean NFL player to improve her image.
