HART OF DIXIE: Take This Job and Shove It

I’m starting to think that Bluebell exists in a world where relationship drama and town drama are so overblown so that everyone else feels normal. Even when my life feels bad, it’s not nearly as worse as Bluebell.

Weird Medical Case of the Week: George gets his finger stuck in the zipper of Lynly’s dress after she tries to seduce him. It might go against Zoe’s Non Compete, but George can’t ask Brick to help out because Lavon might have come along to see.

Gossip: Cricket won’t get Lemon decide the flowers for the latest Bells function, which is only going to lead to Cricket being a tyrannical leader. Poor flower choices seem to have won so far. Lemon even starts a resistance movement to try and overthrow Cricket. Cricket finds out about this first resistance meeting and accuses Lemon of treason against the Bells. Lemon’s punishments are horrible, from graffiti clean-up to scraping off things from the gazebo. After all of Lemon’s work for the Bells, she decides that nothing is worth that labor and quits.

Filmore’s looking to get a minor league baseball team, much to Lavon’s distress. That might be a problem for Annabeth, but who knows. George, as town lawyer, gets roped in too, and has twenty-four hours to fix things.

Brick, it seems, has hired Frank, the town pharmacist and PI, to make sure she doesn’t try to open her own practice. It doesn’t work for a while until Zoe has to help George out. Even holding over her treatment of George, Zoe finds out that there’s no way out of her Non Compete, and even more sad that Brick never forgave her father for dying and leaving as he did. After all of the summer, Brick won’t take Zoe back as a partner, but as an associate who works for him.

Relationship Drama: Zoe can’t seem to quit the medical business, and Joel is taking the brunt of Zoe’s curiosity into examining odd medical conditions he doesn’t have. Zoe doesn’t want to go into her own practice, she just wants Brick’s, which is only going to be more problematic for everyone in Bluebell.

Joel and Brick have a disagreement in the Drug Store and Zoe’s potential plan to start her own practice might have be to more of a reality than she thought. But after George walks in on a discussion about Zoe thinking of doing such a thing, there’s the discovery that she has a Non Compete Clause to her contract. So much for that plan. Wade helps Joel keep Brick away from finding Zoe and by the end of his day as willing partner to schemes, he and Zoe are stronger than they were before.

Lynly wants to seduce George as he helps her to study for the LSAT. Brilliant plan, darling! It turns out poorly, as everything seems to do.
