1"Stop at Nothing" Jason Ensler Melissa London HilfersSeptember 11, 2022 (2022-09-11)MRC1014.03 [6]
Dottie Roman, the Queen of Country Music, and her husband Albie are interviewed in advance of receiving a CMA lifetime achievement award when a reporter (played by Josh Rhett Noble) asks her whether her reluctance to perform is due to a rumored cancer diagnosis. Dottie tries to brush it off but, when the reporter persists, Albie punches him and Dottie's diagnosis is made public. As news spreads, Nicky, their daughter and an aspiring artist struggling to escape from her family's shadow, and Luke, their son and CEO of Monarch Records, try to handle the fallout by promoting the planned family tour as a tribute to Dottie, though the promoter warns that, without Dottie performing, they are considering pulling their funding if an upcoming preview show is not successful. Nicky asks her sister Gigi to perform at the showcase with her but she refuses, stating that she is done fighting for the love of their parents, while Luke and Albie clash over the former's management of Monarch. Dottie convinces Gigi to perform by telling her to do it for her siblings and convinces Luke not to leave Monarch by pledging to leave her shares in the company to him when she dies. After the show, Albie confesses that he cheated on Dottie when they first got married and she reveals that she's always known and promises to love him forever. Nicky deduces that Dottie leaked the news of her diagnosis in an effort to go out on her own terms. Dottie asks Nicky to help her commit suicide and, though reluctant, she agrees. In her final moments, Dottie confesses to doing things that cannot be forgiven. Gigi arrives and catches Nicky holding a bottle of empty pills by their mother, who is unresponsive. In a flashforward, Albie buries a body.

Gigi agrees to keep Nicky's part in Dottie's death a secret to avoid fracturing of the family, but their relationship becomes strained. Luke becomes suspicious of his mother's sudden passing and begins to suspect that Albie was responsible after hearing that they had an argument, leading to a physical confrontation. Gigi is declared the "new Queen of country" and is encouraged by Nellie to step out of her sister's shadow. At the will reading, Luke, Nicky and Gigi argue over the Dottie's legacy and the future of the family. Aspiring artist Ana and her mother Catt have their meeting with Monarch cancelled following Dottie's death, leaving Ana dejected but Catt convinces her not to give up hope. During Dottie's funeral, Albie refuses to perform following a song dispute but, after a heart-to-heart with Ace, agrees to sing as long as Ace, who suffers from anxiety, performs as well. Kayla attempts to break off her affair with Luke, feeling guilty about hurting Gigi, but Luke convinces her that they must live in the present and they kiss, which is seen by Nicky. Luke becomes convinced that Nicky is hiding something after finding out that she forged goodbye letters from Dottie. In the flashforward, the Police arrive at the Romans' to interview Albie.
