'Nashville' season 3 spoilers: Rayna travels to Natchez to help Deacon in episode 20 'Time Changes Things'

Nashville season 3 episode 20ABC

"Nashville" is nearing the end of its third season. Episode 20, "Time Changes Things," shows Rayna travelling all the way to Natchez, Mississippi to help Deacon. The episode explores how their past continues to affect Deacon's current life-and-death struggle. 

On the other side of the spectrum, Jade holds a party in her Malibu home and invites Jeff, Luke, and Layla. Unfortunately, it quickly devolves into an "all-night rager." Someone is going to get hurt as they all begin to argue and fight each other over the course of the episode. 

In Nashville, Kiley approaches Gunnar with shocking news and Juliette, now a mom after giving birth in episode 17, attempts to hop back to her career by throwing a last-minute concert on her rooftop. 

It appears that the episode will have a much lighter tone compared to what the previous episodes gave viewers, but according to the synopsis, it also appears to end with several cliff-hanging moments. Fans speculate what Kiley has to tell Gunnar and how Rayna may continue to affect the changes in Deacon's life. 

While the synopsis does not give a lot of information, ABC did manage to release several promotional photos to give fans an early look at what's in store. Fans know that Deacon's life hangs in the balance and may even be closer to death than expected, but this episode may be the turning point as Rayna and the girls come by to stay with him. 

It appears that "Time Changes Things" reconciles Rayna and Deacon, giving him some peace of mind before he dies in the season finale. 

Juliette also doesn't appear affected by her new life as a mom. According to the season's synopsis, she continues working on her album and it has been estimated that she will get it done and out before the season is over. 

"Nashville" season 3 episode 20, "Time Changes Things," will air on April 29.
