That situation has always made me curious. Lamar knew that Deacon is Maddie's biological father but didn't know that Teddy knew.

I can't imagine that Lamar would have been someone Rayna would have chosen to let in on that secret. They hadn't been that close. He's manipulative and controlling and not above using that as blackmail material. And if she were to tell him I don't see why she wouldn't just tell him that Teddy already knew.

So was Lamar suspicious, knowing DR's history, and started poking around? Paid someone a lot of money to find out about and get a copy of the paternity test? Confronted Rayna with his suspicions? Got Tandy to tell him?

I actually always got the feeling that this

was the first time Rayna realized he knew.

And I also imagine that he dug around, solely due to the obsession he had surrounding Rayna's mother and her affair. He was much of their mother in Rayna, so he's crazy enough to jump to the worst conclusion and go to really ~soapy lengths to have that confirmed.

I think this is very plausible. I sometimes thought maybe Tandy had told him, but Lamar was a smart man and he would have figured out timelines and such. And I could see him holding on to this information until he had a good use for it. Like trying to get Rayna to stay in line and support Teddy running for mayor.

Also surprising, though, that she didn't go ahead then and tell him Teddy knew.

I felt like that was either the first time she realized that he knew... or just the first time he played that card to try to threaten her with

It was established that he was keeping tabs on her life, pulling the occasional string without her ever knowing. So I'm sure he did some digging. I can also see him just being suspicious, confronting Tandy like he already knew for sure and Tandy accidentally slipping something. And so Tandy tells Rayna that she accidentally slipped to Lamar, so Rayna knew that he knew but it wasn't something they ever openly acknowledged.

I think she was too shocked to even really register that. That scene was an immediate lash back. I loved it, one of the few times we have really seen Rayna unhinged.

But she had other opportunities to do that and she didn't. But yeah, I think that just proves that she didn't realize he'd known and it totally threw her off her game.

^It was good to see rayna put in that situation

Static Waves · 09-23-2014, 09:29 PM

that is what I call good characterization for Rayna as a guarded individual who's lets down her walls in rare situations

teddy was outstanding in the premiere - he was such a good dad and a good guy
