Rayna has some financial problems with the label hitting some bumps in the road . She agrees to play at a private event in Silicon Valley hosted by an app developer named Zach Wells (who is a fanboy of hers) as a way to bring in money . Zach informs Rayna that he is on his way to Nashville . He wants to "hack her cloud" and wants to go into business with her . She and Deacon are unsure of the proposal, but she needs the money . In return, Zach wants 20% of Highway 65 . Luke has put Wheelin' Dealin' Records up for sale, and Zach wants Highway 65 to acquire it . Rayna gets inspired for her and Deacon to write their story for a concept album featuring the two of them . </P> <P> Rayna also has a stalker . One day when she walks into work, someone watches her as they listen to her music . A few days later Rayna discovers a mysterious package with no stamp at her door . It contains a letter and rose petals . More mysterious letters show up and she and Bucky try to figure out who is behind them . The man who wrote the letters, Wayne Hockney, shows up at Highway 65, which alarms her . Bucky escorts him out while she calls for security . She gets a restraining order against Hockney and increases security at her house . One day Hockney shows up at Daphne's school . He taunts the Jaymes / Claybourne household by going as far as he can while still obeying the restraining order . This drives them crazy, turning their lives upside down, and Deacon wants to confront him, but the police advise not to do that . They want him arrested but he hasn't done anything for which he can be arrested . He eventually violates the restraining order by surprising Rayna at work . He holes up in her office where they talk, and when she tries to get free he catches her and threatens her with a knife . After pleas from Rayna and the police he lets her go and is arrested . The police take her home, and as she is on the phone with Deacon to tell him what happened an oncoming car crashes into them, sending Rayna to the hospital . </P> <P> Due to the crash, Rayna has a shattered pelvis and hip, and is in surgery for four hours . Lying in her hospital bed, Rayna sees her dead mother and talks to her . This worries Deacon because he knows people can experience that when they are on the brink of death, but the doctor tells him not to worry . Daphne's choir comes to the hospital to support her . While they sing for Rayna she crashes and is sent to the ICU . Her organs are failing, her condition worsens and her outcome isn't too promising . She can't hold on any longer, and dies with her family by her side . Following her death, Bucky announced that the CMT Awards (where Rayna was scheduled to perform) had planned a musical tribute by Faith Hill . Juliette convinces the organizers that she knew Rayna best and should sing instead, however, when she comes to perform "Sanctuary", she leaves the stage and allows Maddie to sing instead . Maddie breaks down halfway through the song and is then joined by Daphne and Deacon, with the trio receiving a standing ovation from the crowd . </P> <P> Rayna's death causes tension within the family when Teddy and Tandy suggest that the girls should live with Teddy (as Daphne is biologically his and Deacon has proven to be an unstable parent). Tandy also states that Deacon is not fully equipped to run Highway 65 . Eventually, Teddy realizes that Rayna would have wanted Maddie and Daphne to stay with Deacon . At a Highway 65 meeting, Deacon is furious when Zach states that they should release Deacon and Rayna's duet album (as Rayna had completed the majority of her studio recordings before her death) although he later comes to see that the album is the perfect way to end Rayna's career . Deacon goes into their home studio where he finds Bucky, Gunnar, Scarlett, Will, Avery, Juliette, Maddie and Daphne all singing along with Rayna's recording of the track "You're Mine" and he joins them, seeing it as their final song together . </P>
