High drama is coming to "Nashville" as ABC's hit show is nearing its May 13 season finale.


On Episode 21, "Is the Better Part Over," there will be concern for Juliette. She's in the news once again, and those close to her worry she may be suffering from postpartum depression in the episode airing on May 6, according to Spoilers Guide.

In "Time Changes Things," Wednesday night's episode, the fictional country music star Rayna James travels to Mississippi to try to persuade Beverly O'Connor to be Deacon Claybourne' liver donor.

But O'Connor, interpreted by Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, is harboring some old grudges: She blames Jaymes (Connie Britton) for being the reason why she never became a singer and consequently turns down the request to help her brother (Charles Esten). And things get pretty heated between the two, Nashville Recap said.

"'You don't care about the music,' says Beverly in flashback, which is like the worst insult you can throw at a person on this show," the website noted.

Meanwhile, Jade St. John -- played by pop superstar Christina Aguilera -- invites Luke Wheeler (Will Chase), Jeff Fordham (Oliver Hudson) and Layla Grant (Aubrey Peeples) to a party at her Malibu mansion. "She's throwing your typical L.A.-style bash with bubble machines and giant statues of seahorses," Nashville Recap judged. "It's basically going to be the most baller Enchantment Under the Sea prom ever," the website quipped.

Kiley (Alexa PenaVega), finally, shows up at the home of Gunnar Scott (Sam Palladio) and tells her first love that she got pregnant with Micah after Jason raped her at a party while she was sleeping. And Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) tries to jump-start her career with a surprise rooftop concert.

"Nashville" fans who worry how all these storylines can be satisfactorily resolved in the remaining two episodes, meanwhile, can rest a little easier because the state of Tennessee last week quietly approved financial incentives for the production of a fourth season, the Tennessean reported.

Gov. Bill Haslam amended his budget and allocated a combined $16 million to the Department of Economic and Community Development's film and television incentive fund, of which $8 million have been earmarked for "Nashville."

Lobbyists for the show have also been in talks with Nashville Mayor Karl Dean to try to secure additional incentives, the newspaper noted.
