Morris appears in the penultimate episode of the drama&#8217;s first season, which aired Friday, May 15, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, with the episode streaming the following day on Paramount+.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-paragraph paragraph css-50tlrn\" data-og-block-area=\"article-blocks\" data-og-block-nth=\"2\" data-og-block-type=\"core\/paragraph\" data-rawhtml=\"1\">\n<p>Morris portrays Hazel, Skye Fraley&#8217;s (Amanda Arcuri) sponsor, arriving as a steadying presence after Skye relapses in the wake of her grandfather&#8217;s arrest and her mother, Mickey (Morena Baccarin), carrying out that arrest. The episode&#8217;s official synopsis notes that Sheriff Mickey Fox is simultaneously aiding a federal investigation into a high-stakes case involving alleged interstate crime and a web of local land deals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-paragraph paragraph css-50tlrn\" data-og-block-area=\"article-blocks\" data-og-block-nth=\"3\" data-og-block-type=\"core\/paragraph\" data-rawhtml=\"1\">\n<p>Morris also debuts an original song, &#8220;Parachute,&#8221; written specifically for the episode. The track centers on themes of renewal, self-forgiveness, and emotional rebirth. Produced by longtime collaborator Jimmy Robbins, it pairs lush, ethereal production with Morris&#8217;s soaring vocal performance, providing a powerful emotional backdrop for the episode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MuiBox-root css-f4ttfq\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maren Morris - Parachute (Official Lyric Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xWYG3SrK_7w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-paragraph paragraph css-50tlrn\" data-og-block-area=\"article-blocks\" data-og-block-nth=\"4\" data-og-block-type=\"core\/paragraph\" data-rawhtml=\"1\">\n<p>Morris reflected on the dual experience of writing the song and stepping in front of the camera for the first time. &#8220;Writing &#8216;Parachute&#8217; was a really cathartic experience for me,&#8221; <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/music\/news\/maren-morris-debuts-uplifting-new-single-parachute\/ar-AA23fWHw?ocid=BingNewsVerp#:~:text=Maren%20Morris%20shared%20a%20new,Trust%20or%20as%20a%20Gift%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Morris said in a statement<\/a>. &#8220;Tapping into the forgiveness of oneself is such an underrated emotion written about. The fact that it will soundtrack the episode I&#8217;m acting in is even more emotional. I had the best day on set and can&#8217;t wait to see this titular episode of a stellar first season of Sheriff Country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-paragraph paragraph css-50tlrn\" data-og-block-area=\"article-blocks\" data-og-block-nth=\"5\" data-og-block-type=\"core\/paragraph\" data-rawhtml=\"1\">\n<p>Morris also contributed a second track to the series, &#8220;Beat the Devil,&#8221; which became woven into the show&#8217;s world after CBS responded enthusiastically to an early version and incorporated it earlier in the season. Despite years of performing live, Morris acknowledged that acting presented a completely different kind of challenge \u2014 though she noted that memorizing someone else&#8217;s dialogue came more naturally than she expected.
