This Is Us put us through another emotional roller coaster with "The Trip" this week. Here's a look at what happened in the episode in our complete recap.
That episode’s epic cliffhanger reaches its conclusion in Episode 9 — and it’s so damn shocking that even many of those viewers who have stuck with Nashville for years can’t handle it. Episode 9 opens with shots of Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) being wheeled into a hospital on a gurney, conscious but obviously pretty banged up, following the cliffhanger car crash Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) almost causes 1. Maddie (Lennon Stella) — who is driving home with Clayton Carter (Joseph David- Jones) — to come to the hospital immediately. When they arrive, Deacon learns that Rayna has a shattered pelvis and hip, but (fortunately) no blood on her brain or other life- threatening injuries; she’s going to need surgery, but as soon as she sees Deacon, Rayna cracks a joke and lets viewers know that she’s going to be just fine in future episodes. Deacon tells Rayna that the police officer driving her home from the Highway 6.
Carl Hockney made it through the accident with little more than a scratch, which is really the first mention of the intense, deeply dramatic scenes of Carl holding a knife to Rayna’s throat that dominated Episode 8. Then, as she lies in her hospital bed doped up on morphine, Rayna tells Deacon that they have to write a final song to finish out the duet album they’ve been working on together — one that tells their “beautiful story” without focusing too much on the hurt and pain that the couple has experienced in the past. While all of this is going down, Scarlett O’Connor (Clare Bowen) is in bed with hunky director Damien George (Christian Coulson), the man whose affections pulled her away from bandmate Gunnar Scott (Sam Palladio). Gunnar tells Scarlett that Deacon needs her to pick up Daphne (Lennon Stella) from choir practice at school — where the younger Conrad daughter is making eyes at new beau Flynn — and it’s clear that the tension between the two of them hasn’t diminished since she dumped Gunnar to go sew some wild oats and figure out exactly who she is. The action then pans over to Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), who is experiencing a newfound pain in her healing legs. Like most would, Juliette is Googling all of the possible infections and illnesses that could be causing the pain (she’s decided it’s MRSA), while Avery Barkley (Jonathan Jackson) tries to talk her out of her hypochondria; still, Avery makes Juliette an appointment with a doctor.“I love you, but you’re crazy,” Avery tells Juliette, which is decidedly the best way to describe the topsy- turvy, up- and- down relationship that the two have experienced. Meanwhile, Maddie is beginning to have a pretty major revelation: When she arrives at the hospital, surrounded by paparazzi, she is visibly shaken by her mother’s condition.
She gets there just before Rayna is wheeled into the operating room, and has what looks like a panic attack. Scarlett goes to comfort her, but an emotional Maddie runs out of the hospital and into Clayton’s car, begging him to take her for a drive — and while they’re driving, Maddie starts to think that the accident was her fault (after all, it did happen after Rayna had to track Maddie down at Clayton’s club performance). Viewers learn that Rayna’s surgery has gone well, and that she’ll be out of the hospital in a few days; she’s got a long road ahead of her, complete with rehab and physical therapy, but the news is still assurance that the queen of country music is going to be just fine.
Rayna tells Deacon that she is starting to remember what happened on that fateful night, both with the car accident and the attack, and when her manager Bucky Dawes (David Alford) comes to visit, Rayna tells him that her upcoming planned performance at the CMT Music Awards probably isn’t going to happen. Still, Rayna’s dead- set on writing that song with Deacon from her hospital bed.
Scarlett goes to their home to pick up Deacon’s guitar — and for whatever reason, Gunnar is there, and he confronts her about how much she’s obsessed with Damien, but she completely deflects. While Scarlett hasn’t made up her mind just yet, it’s obvious that Gunnar isn’t ready to give up on their relationship. Hopped up on pain pills, Rayna is trying to write with Deacon, and the words aren’t coming as easy as she thought they would. After dragging up the pain of their past in the songs they’ve already written, Rayna wants to write “a promise of something more,” but she can’t figure out what to call it. Deacon comes up with “Coda,” the notation that tells musicians to bring a piece to an end; he starts to get a little teary- eyed, because he’s obviously terrified of losing Rayna. When Juliette visits Rayna at the hospital, she has to fight her way through a throng of paparazzi asking about her injuries, and then a nurse, who’s trying to give Rayna a little peace and quiet.
But because she’s Juliette Barnes, who doesn’t listen to anyone’s orders, she marches into Rayna’s room and brings her a sleep mask (something she found invaluable during her own time in the hospital). After they talk for a few moments, Rayna tells Juliette that she’s changed, that when she “fell out of the sky, something shook out; ” Juliette seems to believe her, that she really has made a transformation into a decent human being, and then Rayna begins to wonder what’s going to “shake out” of her after this set of horrific experiences. At her doctor’s visit, Juliette learns that there is an irregularity in her bones; it’s most likely nothing, maybe nerve endings repairing themselves after trauma, and maybe partly psychological, lending credence to Avery’s theory that his wife is at least a little nuts. The doctor tells Juliette that she’s probably just going to have put push through the pain, but orders an MRI nonetheless. In the hospital, Rayna hallucinates seeing her mother, who died when Rayna was a teenager; in the dream, Rayna’s mother tells her that maybe the song is finished.
Deacon walks in and sees Rayna talking to an empty chair; he’s obviously a little thrown off (or maybe “freaked out” is more accurate), but the doctor says that hallucinations could be a side effect of Rayna’s heavy pain medication doses. Despite Rayna’s drug- induced hallucinations, Scarlett goes to her for a little advice on how to handle Gunnar, who feels like he’s “kind of screwed” (he can’t tell Scarlett not to see Damien because it will scare her off, but if he pretends like he doesn’t care, Scarlett might run off with Damien). Gunnar’s in love with Scarlett and hurt by what she’s doing, but isn’t sure how he can win her trust back; he’ll do anything, but of course the ever- indecisive Scarlett doesn’t know what that would entail. Rayna seems to think that maybe this isn’t a match made in heaven after all. The drama picks up when Daphne, who originally planned to skip her choir concert in order to stay with Maddie, brings her fellow singers to the hospital to sing for Rayna — but Rayna’s vital signs begin to plummet, her kidneys begin to fail, and she’s taken into ICU.
Meanwhile, Maddie is stuck in game day traffic with Clayton, and gets out of the car to run to the hospital to be by her mother’s side. Unfortunately, Rayna isn’t able to be revived, and dies shortly after saying goodbye to her daughters and Deacon. For viewers who have fallen in love with Rayna Jaymes for her ferocity, her talent and her heart, the tears no doubt were flowing during Episode 9. And Rayna’s death leaves real doubt about whether or not Nashville will be able to continue beyond the final episodes of Season 5 — though, sure, in upcoming episodes, there will be plenty of ground to cover as Deacon, Maddie, Juliette and the rest of those who love Rayna process their grief and figure out how to move forward. Will former alcoholic Deacon crawl back into the bottle, or will he (as Rayna asked) stay strong and raise Maddie and Daphne? How will the girls move on without their mother?
Is there a future for Highway 6.
Westworld Episode 9 Recap: The Well- Tempered Clavier. Bernard runs diagnostics on Maeve, and she goes along with it as he tries to figure out how this “serious unscripted incident” happened. Bernard checks her code and is shocked to see the changes.
He tries to call Ford, but Maeve grabs him by the wrist. Bernard starts to panic and Maeve realizes he doesn’t know what they are. She freezes his motor functions and threatens to make him forget but won’t because “that is what they do to us.” Instead, she has Bernard clear her to return to the park. As he leaves, shaken, Maeve advises him that if he goes looking for the truth, be sure to get it all. She surprises him with a shotgun as he goes for a piss. She knows his past, and knows that he has no future. She tells him that his men will turn on one another over the contents of the safe, then he and Armistice will kill each other.
They return to camp when they hear gunfire, and find three men dead. Armistice raises her gun to Hector, but Maeve shoots her dead first. She unlocks the safe and Hector opens it. It is empty. Maeve uses this as a metaphor for how empty their lives, memories, and deaths are.
Maeve gives him two options: Hector can kill her and live the same life over and over again, or he could join her in breaking into hell and robbing the gods blind. Hector chooses door #2, and they adjourn to the tent where they have sex. Maeve knocks over a lantern and lets the fire consume them. Logan has William and Dolores as prisoners. William tries to convince his “friend” that Dolores is not like the others; she has her own thoughts and desires, and wants him to talk to his contacts about getting her out of the park.
Dolores speaks up. Logan reminds William of his betrothed, and agrees he shares some of the blame – he pushed William too hard. Logan dares Dolores to prove she isn’t a real live girl, then has one of his men hold her down while he sinks a knife into her abdomen.
She screams, and Logan goes deeper, past the layers of flesh and sinew, and reveals the wires and electronics that make up her body. Dolores takes a look at this and collapses. She grabs a knife and slits Logan’s cheek, then grabs a gun and shoots a couple of Confederados. William advises her to run, he will find her. So she runs. Out in the wild, Dolores collapses.
She hears someone say remember, then stands and finds she isn’t bloody, and her wound has healed. She runs. Back at the Confederados camp, Logan offers William some booze, a chance to make peace. William finally agrees that Logan is right, Dolores isn’t real.
He can’t believe he got so caught up in it all. As Logan releases William’s binds, he assures him that he won’t tell his sister what her fiance was up to. The men hug and drink, and things seem brotherly between them. Morning comes, and Logan wakes up, severely hungover. He stumbles around and realizes the entire camps is dead.

Limbs have been severed, pistons and servos are exposed, and blood is pooled everywhere. In the middle of the massacre, William is waiting for him. Bernard looked at his own code. The most elegant parts were built by Arnold. Bernard suggests that Ford killed Arthur, and demands that Ford give him access to his entire history. Bernard pulls out a gun, then Clementine comes in.
Bernard still can’t betray his prime directive, but when Clementine was lobotomized, they didn’t reset her prime directives. She is capable of shooting Ford.
In addition, Bernard re- coded Clementine to only respond to his commands. Watch Subterranea Online Full Movie. Ford has no choice. He starts unlocking Bernard’s memories. At first, he only reveals recent memories; current “builds: ” his son’s death; speaking with his wife; sleeping with Theresa; killing Theresa. Then he gets a glimpse of himself killing Elsie, and he comes out of the reverie.
Bernard doesn’t care. He wants to continue. Teddy wakes and Angela pulls the arrow out of his shoulder. The Man in Black blames Teddy for a memory glitch that f*cked him out of finding the center of the maze. Teddy ignores this and wants to know where Wyatt is. Teddy thinks back to the shoot- out at Escalante. Wyatt came back with some “wild ideas” and needed Teddy.
He couldn’t resist, and they mutinied. Killed every soldier. Wyatt killed the general, then turned on Teddy. Teddy remembers being shot, and Angela asks if he is sure that is how it was. Teddy flashes back again, sees himself killing everyone in Escalante, Wyatt nowhere in sight. Angela says Teddy isn’t ready to fight Wyatt, but “maybe in your next life.” She stabs Teddy. The Man in Black realizes the maze has taken him full circle, and that he is looking for a “city swallowed by sand.” Angela informs him the maze isn’t for him, and knocks his head against a rock.
The Man in Black wakes in the morning, and finds a rope around his neck. The other end has been slung over a tree and tied to a horse. If the horse spooks, the Man in Black is a dead man. He tries to calm the horse while slowly, slowly moving towards Teddy’s body, the knife still stuck in his gut. A wolf howl spooks the horse just as the Man in Black grabs the knife, and as he is strung up, he cuts himself down.
Charlotte suddenly appears and tells him that Theresa is dead, an accident. The Man in Black is pissed that his game was interrupted, and she points out that he can no longer see beyond the game. She just wants his vote to push Ford out of the company. The Man in Black doesn’t care what happens; he isn’t interested in Ford’s stories.
He will vote to get rid of Ford, but he doesn’t want any more interruptions. He knows where he is going now. In the control room, Stubbs gets a call that Elsie’s device triggered the map because it was in an area that hadn’t seen any activity in a long while. He goes to check it out, but when he gets out to the general area, his phone call to the control room doesn’t go through – poor connection. The Ghost Nation appears, and he tries to freeze them, but the audio cues don’t work on them.
He draws his gun and tries again. One of the natives tackles him. Bernard is going through more memories, including seeing Maeve, bloody, on the floor in the lab, having destroyed herself over a memory that Ford removed. More memories, more glitches. Ford pauses and Bernard looks like he is going to break.
But he insists they keep going, and Ford tells Bernard that Arnold originally built a version in which hosts hear coding as internal monologue. As Bernard and Ford are going through his memories, Dolores is searching. She comes across a small, empty town and goes into the church. As she enters, she is back in her prairie dress. There are dozens of hosts inside, glitching, crying, talking to themselves.
This is an early build of the hosts, in one of those first few years where the park was still in alpha mode. She goes into the confessional, which is an elevator that takes her down into the lab. She is there in her “now” outfit, and there are dead everywhere. Switching back to her “then” outfit, the lab is vital, though an early version. Bernard asks why Ford would give him a child’s death in his backstory. It is a cornerstone, the thing his whole identity is based around. Arnold believed the tragic backstories worked best, and alludes to Arnold having a tragic story himself.
Bernard still wants to meet Arnold, is convinced he remembers him. Ford insists he built Bernard, but Bernard thinks he is lying. He demands to go back to the very first memory. He takes a detour in his memory of Charlie, but this time Bernard can command the child to “come back.” Looking into Charlie’s eyes, he realizes it was all a lie, and it is holding him back.
Charlie tells Bernard to open his eyes, but it is actually Ford telling him to open his eyes. This was Bernard’s “birth.” Ford greets him with “Hello, my old friend.” Ford hasn’t yet decided what to call him, it “wouldn’t be right to use his name.” Ford calls him the perfect instrument, partner, and together, they will do great things. Back in Dolores’ memory, back in her dress, she meets with Bernard.
