It’s the end of an era. The ABC-turned CMT drama series will return for its last batch of episodes and promises to end things with a bang.

With Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) attempting to escape a cult, Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) dealing with using steroids and the introduction of Deacon’s (Charles Esten) father amid his blossoming relationship with Jessie (Kaitlin Doubleday), it will surely be a bumpy ride to the finish.
