Speaking of Sadie, Rayna is going after her for the label. She drags her out for a girl's day to help seal the deal.

After spending the night with Pam, Deacon reiterates to her that he's in love with someone else. That doesn't stop the new backup singer from popping up wherever he goes.

It looks to be the start of many.
