'Nashville' season 4 spoilers: Juliette's downward spiral continues in episode 2

Juliette's (Hayden Panettiere) carefully made-up façade crumbles in front of millions of fans in the upcoming episode of the ABC series "Nashville."

In ''Til the Pain Outwears the Shame," TV Guide reports that the country-singer-turned-movie-star will break down on camera during an appearance on "Live with Kelly and Michael." Weeks after leaving her husband Avery (Jonathan Jackson) and her baby and continuing her press tour for her Patsy Cline biopic, Juliette's depression is steadily mounting, until the moment it overflows on live TV. Prior to her guest appearance, she has been involved in binge drinking, while denying her own true feelings and alienating the few friends she had left.

When Avery sees the telecast, he will reportedly come and see her. Her husband is concerned about her emotional stability and that she may be heading towards a full-blown depression. But when he goes into her house, he will see that such is not the case. In the promo released for episode 2, he will arrive at her house while Juliette is having a party with her new friends.

This behavior will leave Avery with a struggle of his own. Seeing his wife in her drunken state and wild party behavior will obviously change his concern to something close to abhorrence. He may even think that she has no place around their daughter, and decide to file for sole custody. Will he do it? Or will he finally choose to file for divorce and end their marriage once and for all? In the teaser, Juliette is seen pleading her husband to stay.

Meanwhile, Rayna (Connie Britton) will reportedly be taking Juliette's insults about her label to heart. She will strive to showcase the validity of Highway 65 Records by taking on a big new artist. This is where huge rock singer Markus Keen (Riley Smith) comes into play. Rayna will devise a plan to sign the famous musician and show that her company should be taken seriously. Will she finally succeed?

"Nashville" season 4 airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. EST on ABC.
