'Nashville' Season 3 News: Rayna Teams Up With Sadie on Episode 4 'I Feel Sorry for Me'
The "Nashville" first three episodes of its latest season has sent fans of the show reeling as Rayna (Connie Britton) chooses Luke (Will Chase) and is now busy planning her wedding. Meanwhile Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) is revealed to be pregnant, but the biggest question is: who's the father, is it Avery, or Jeff?
In episode 4 of the show titled "I Feel Sorry for Me," Rayna is knee-deep in wedding plans while simultaneously trying to promote her album and record label, and she finds an unlikely ally in newcomer Sadie Stone (Laura Benanti).
In an interview with TV Guide, Benanti spoke about her character and her relationship with Britton's Rayna.
"Rayna takes her under her wing," said Benanti, "She's a real authentic artist. She's a real songwriter … It's less about flash and glitter and more about the music."
The pair's friendship turns into a working relationship when they duet on a song, and Sadie will find herself in the middle of a dispute between Rayna and Jeff over whose record label she'll sign to.
Here is the synopsis of "Nashville" season 3, episode 4.
"Rayna goes after Sadie Stone as a new artist to sign to her record label Highway 65. In order to woo her, Rayna invites Sadie out for a girl's day on the town, which she thinks may help her to seal the deal," the synopsis reads. "Juliette continues to try her best at hiding her pregnancy but when she starts to have stomach pains and mood swings, she has to let down her wall. Later, an assertive and sultry backup singer takes a liking to Deacon but his down in the dumps attitude does nothing but shut her out. Then Zoey witnesses odd behavior between Scarlett and Gunnar and lets her inner jealousy get the best of her."
"She tries to mend things at the Bluebird but they end up backfiring terribly. Meanwhile, Avery continues to use alcohol to drown his sorrows, which only takes him to new lows, and Jeff has ulterior motives as he pursues Teddy and the girls," it continued.
