Primetime 'Nashville': My Heart Would Know

April 11, 2013/by Sarah Skates

Watty reveals his affair with her mother to Rayna.

Rayna learns of Watty’s affair with her mother.


Episode 117: My Heart Would Know
Music featured on last night’s (April 10) episode of Nashville included Scarlett and cowboy Will dueting on “You Ain’t Dolly (and You Ain’t Porter),” which is on Ashley Monroe’s new album with guest Blake Shelton. The song was written by Monroe and her producer Vince Gill.
Also, The Hollywood Report says a Nashville cast concert tour is in the works.
The episode moved quickly thanks to a few key plot developments. Rayna cancelled her part of the New York City concert—though Juliette went on with the show—and flew to Nashville after her father Lamar’s heart attack. During this time of family crisis, Rayna learned that her mother had an affair with Watty (J.D. Souther), and that she was leaving Lamar the night she died in a car crash. Rayna’s close relationship with producer/musician Watty (whom she calls “uncle”) was always a thorn in Lamar’s side, and now she understands why. Her teary conversation with sleeping Lamar while he was in the hospital was one of the episode’s best scenes. Given Rayna and Watty’s musical kinship, it leads the viewer to wonder, could he be her biological father?
While Lamar was out of commission, his other daughter Tandy continued her CFO duties for the family business. She’s got something up her sleeve, but we aren’t sure what. At the end of the episode she revealed to Rayna’s ex Teddy that his new girlfriend, Peggy, was responsible for leaking news of his divorce to the tabloids.
Meanwhile, back in New York on the tour, Juliette’s more-than-friends relationship with Dante was exposed. He lost his gig as her mom’s sober companion and they shipped mom Jolene home to Nashville for help. Dante tried to fire Avery, who recently joined the tour as a roadie, for walking in on him and Juliette, but Deacon stepped in. Later, Deacon hopped a plane to Nashville to comfort Rayna and see his new girlfriend, the vet. At the concert, Juliette debuted “Hangin’ On A Lie,” penned by Sarah Zimmermann and Justin Davis of duo Striking Matches.

While Rayna was in Music City, she decided to meet her new label signee, Scarlett. The younger songwriter was out drinking and celebrating her record deal when she got the message about the meeting, so she called it a night. According to The Tennessean, Will, Scarlett and Gunnar were partying at Boondoxxx BBQ and Juke Joint.
A little hungover, she rallied for the big meeting the next day at EdgeHill Republic. Meanwhile, Gunnar bonded with Will by idiotically driving in front of a speeding train, but hey, at least it spurred his songwriting muse. As the show wrapped, Gunnar was writing a song called “Shine,” penned by Monroe and Trent Dabbs.
Extras are needed on set today (April 11). Details at www.nashvilleextras.com.
