Honestly I'm not that surprised that Rayna's signing Layla, especially after last week. At Edgehill I don't think her problem was ever specifically with Layla but more the label finding teenage reality show castoffs and aiming for the next cookie cutter big thing. So with Laylas turn towards wanting to be taken more seriously and write her own stuff (the constant changing of her character is a different issue) I can see why Rayna would give her a chance. Especially now that she sees her as a victim of Jeff and a big label that didn't care about her.
And eh, I don't find it hard to believe that H65 has enough money. Rayna's album was successful, she and Sadie were out on a big tour, she got her inheritance from Lamar. It may not be profitable yet but from the start Rayna's been putting her own money into it and it's still small enough that she can keep it going herself.

Right and basically Rayna is right. Jeff blew off Layla's career which is why she is totally dumb to have him represent her. He has been representing her for a year.
As for H65, Rayna has had money problems forever. Her and Teddy constantly mentioned being house poor. She used every penny she had to buy herself out of Edgehill and she has two artists. Juliette has been out of commission and was using her own money to do her tour. She voided her contract with Scarlett meaning all the money she put into her is gone. And she was just complaining about studio costs for Sadie. She has the office, that I assume she rented, employees, utilities, insurance, etc to pay. She needs to be looking at new talent on the regular and she almost never is. Juliette came to her and she only signed Sadie because Sadie mentioned looking at Edgehill.
