Hart of Dixie was all new last night and thank goodness for Joel, who’s slowly gaining our approval. Speaking of approval, last week’s episode made Zoe’s new boy toy’s numbers of ‘likes’ rise, while Wade was still not too convinced Joel is Mr. Right. Click HERE for a full recap!

This week AnnaBeth is up to something and Lavon is going to Vegas for a bachelor party. Lynly is being very “George Tucker will be mine” and I don’t know how I feel about that. Zoe Hart tries to connect with family and Lemon gets an offer that is too good to be true.

The best restaurant in the area has come calling for Lemon, Edward owner of Fancies is thinking of retiring and giving the business to miss Lemon. As the Rammer Jammer is hitting it’s all time high, Lemon is thinking about buying Fancies and making her dreams come true. As she thinks things through she decides to break ties with Wade and give Edward an offer. Sadly the offer was too low and Lemon ask Wade to take her back. Wade the good Samaritan, tells Lemon of course, but will this be enough for her?

Joel persuades Zoe to call up her relatives as they embark on their house hunting spree. Finally realizing that family is forever she decides to crash a relative’s birthday party. Overwhelmed by so many people, Zoe does her quirky thing she always does and upon arrival when she is asked if she is the entertainment she says yes, making Joel be the magician for the birthday party.

Zoe ends up loving everything about the Wilkes and decides that she is going to tell them who she is after she had lied to them about her identity as the magician’s manager and her name being Chloe. She finally opens up to her cousin who she was bonding so well with, unfortunately things turn sour when she says she is Zoe Hart and all her cousin has to say is, just because you’re in the blood line doesn’t mean you belong. Ouch!

Seem’s like AnneBeth’s parent’s are in town, thus we discover why she was so willing to let Lavon go out for a fun boys weekend. Worried that football rivalries might come between them, AB invites them over to have a happy family gathering then Lavon turns up and they try and make peace with her parents. Funny how they turn up the second time with Lavon’s team colors and jersey number. They love him! As they try and shmooze up to Lavon, we find out that they are really pushing marriage for their little BananaBeth!

As things get fired up with AnnaBeth’s parent’s nudging Lavon about weddings. AB stands up to them and tells them they are adults and will figure things out by themselves. As they depart for the night, Lavon makes AB upset when he tells her he is in no rush to marry. As AnnaBeth tells him that she needs more from Lavon, she needs to know that they are on the same Path.

Talking about Paths, Lynly is just pushing her luck with George as she tries making him jealous any second she gets. As Tucker falls for her tricks she demands that he kiss her and to let them be together. Poor broken hearted George says he can’t, but then he does. So we’ll see what’s to come for these two. The episode ends with Zoe talking to Joel about her family and how she didn’t realize how much she wanted them until she saw how happy they were. But as things are always up and down for Miss Hart we know Joel is there to take care of her.

Next week looks like Joel is kidnapped and Zoe and Wade go to his rescue! Here’s to hoping for a spicier and more adventurous episode!
