Juliette gets confirmation that she's pregnant. She and Avery were always very careful. The father is most likely Jeff Fordham. Juliette makes a decision. She goes to another audition for the Patsy Cline movie. Layla is also reading for the part. She's escorted there by Jeff, who tries to sign a new artist in Sadie Stone and later mocks Juliette when he sees her in the hall. As for Layla, her audition doesn't go well.

Deacon believes that the bright side to all this is that he won't be going out on tour. Actually, that's not true. Luke knows it is good business to have him on the road. They leave in a week. This is bad news for Maddie, who is upset because her mom is also going out on tour. She feels like everyone is leaving her.
