An article comes out about Deacon’s fallout with the Revel Kings. It’s not a flattering piece. It makes it seem as though he’s fallen off the wagon.

Deacon is bitter about the fact that Rayna didn’t wait for him back when he was drinking. He thinks she lost faith in him. She assures him that wasn’t/isn’t the case.
