Just when it seems like things can't get worse, Nashville knows how to push those limits.

Chatter On Rayna's Love Life On 'Nashville'

Wednesday night's episode had one of the most jaw-dropping moments on the series so far. SPOILER ALERT The series killed off one of its recurring characters.

Juliette was standing on the edge of the balcony looking at her face in the billboard across the way, probably coming to the conclusion that she's never going to be the iconic country star she once was. With her personal life falling apart, she was intoxicated on the edge of the roof about to take her own life- until Jeff came by and tried to stop her.

Chatter On Scarlett's Heartbreaking Decision On 'Nashville'

As Juliette started to literally tip over the edge, Jeff rushed over and pulled her backwards not realizing that he was sacrificing himself for her. As Juliette fell safely on the balcony ground, Jeff went one step too far and plunged to his death.

So how is Juliette going to handle the fact that her manager died saving her life? Based on the promo for next week's episode, she's going to try to cover it up.

Reporters ask her how she feels about his death when she says that he killed himself. But not everyone is going to believe this since a witness saw her on the roof. Juliette says that she was in her room the entire night.

Fans will have to wait two more weeks to see how this goes down.

The promo can be seen below.
