‘Nashville’ season 5, episode 10 preview: What’s left after Connie Britton’s exit?
How will ‘Nashville‘ season 5, episode 10 pick up where episode 9 left off? Let’s just say that for “I’ll Fly Away,” the stakes are higher than ever. They may very well be in a completely different stratosphere given that we just went through one of the biggest episodes in the entire history of the series. It was emotional from start to finish — warning, spoilers lie ahead!
Tonight’s episode brought the departure of Connie Britton to the series, something that she claims was her decision — but one that is not easy to digest. The series lost one of its biggest characters in Rayna James as she died following an automobile accident. This is something that happens, even to the biggest celebrities in the world. The reality here is that after the fact, the show goes on and we all need to sift through some of the wreckage. This seems to be the priority for the series now as it moves into the final two episodes of season 5A.
Synopsis – “A legal dispute threatens to break apart the family; Juliette demands to perform at the CMT Music Awards; Will and Zach are drawn closer together.”
The best way to move forward
The “legal dispute” here could be the aftermath of what happened to Rayna, which is probably only going to add to the depression. Remember for a minute that one of the last things you ever want to see after losing someone beloved is seeing petty fighting and bitterness overtake everyone. It’s just depressing, and we all want to think that we’re a part of a better world where people can come together and forget the legal hiccups.
As for the CMT Music Awards — hey, the network has to take advantage of having the show somehow. The fact that Juliette is DEMANDING to perform just shows how import the program is, right? The last thing the producers are going to do is come on here and put the show on blast. (Photo: CMT.)
