20140113-202119.jpg

Things are peachy in BlueBell, Wade and Viv are happy, the town is saved and Zoe and Joel are buying a home!

While we did lose Lynly and Shelby last episode there’s still plenty of more action to come from the townspeople. Recap last episode HERE!

Zoe is shaping the people up by doing some cardio and guess who’s engaged, a Belle and not AnnaBeth. Well that’s gonna be a downer for her and Lavon’s relationship. So as she is now on in the bridal party, she is trying not to get fired up. Now she’s in charge of throwing a Bachlorette party and it’s driving her insane.

Joel, trying to get some of his creative juices flowing decides to follow Wade around to write his character after his. Joel is enamored by every action and situation that Wade gets himself in. He calls him a cowboy and gets upset when it’s time for Wade to leave but Wade tells him if he wants to know how it feels like to be in Wade’s shoes, he might as well be in them. So Joel will bartend the Rammer Jammer for the night! But does Joel himself way in too deep when he tries and get himself in the middle of a fight? Looks like just a couple minutes into bartending he gets himself into a “showdown” with Little Zack.

Hart of Dixie Recap: “One More Last Chance”

20140113-202119.jpg

After last week’s musical episode can we get some normalcy in BlueBell. Joel and Zoe are on the look for a new place to stay and Wade is ready to meet Viviene’s son. The town is ready to win the hearts of everyone and continue to save BlueBell. Catch up with last week’s episode HERE!

Zoe is upset that Viviene lied to her about her Aunt Winifred and how she is an evil cranky aunt. She confronts her and it’s because Zoe is a New Yorker and she hates New Yorkers. But Zoe is in love with a property that Aunt Winifred has and hopes that she can get her to like her. So then Zoe is trusted with taking care of Viviene’s son Harley while she is on her date with Wade that night. Wade gets the chance to meet Viv’s son and it looks like things are going great until he asks for ice cream and when she is gone to grab some, he tells Wade that his salamander will kill him in his sleep if he doesn’t break up with his mom. Oh snap!

Tanzy and Lynly have been hanging out a bit much and George is all flustered by the idea. Now that Tanzy is broken up and single he keeps thinking it’s weird. Then on a girls day, Lynly accidentally burns off her hair and George thinks she did it on purpose.

Lieutenant Governor Bird is coming to town and everyone, especially Lavon, is freaking out trying to impress him. While AnnaBeth is putting up a picture of him in Brick’s offices, Shelby sees it and gets flustered. Hmm is there something we’re missing here.

Wade and Viviene are out on their date and Joel and Zoe are babysitting, which isn’t going so well as their place isn’t kid friendly and then Harley goes all Dr. Phil on them and forces them to argue about who’s afraid of commitment. As Wade and Viv are getting all steamy, the doorbell rings and there’s Joel and Zoe with her son. None very happy at all.  The next day Zoe and Joel discuss how they need to get out of that B&B and the only place they agree on is Aunt Winifred place so they make a plan to win her over. First step to this plan is to get Wade to talk Zoe up while Zoe talks up Wade to little Harley.

It’s “Action” time for BlueBell as they try to win over Lieutenant Governor’s approval. The town is at its best and nothing can go wrong. Well there’s one thing that could go wrong. Shelby calls AnnaBeth for an emergency and it’s just because she’s hungry and can’t go into town. Why is that? She’s avoiding someone, actually she’s avoiding the man she slept with 8 months ago…um could this mean that the Lieutenant could be Shelby’s baby daddy? AnnaBeth surprised by the news tells Shelby that she better tell him that he is the father.

Things aren’t going to well at Aunt Winifred’s, first intro and she already insults them and walks away while little Harley keeps telling Wade off. Wade finds the right words to convince Winifred to accept Zoe while Zoe finds the key word that wins over Harley for Wade. After Wade helps him build the perfect fort he helps him unload his backpack but accidentally tosses his beloved salamander with it. Oh no!

Looks like BlueBell and the Lieutenant are hitting it off, though a minor bump in the road occurs as George and Lynly start to have a small fight when they are supposed to kiss. Tanzy calls her crazy eyes and tells George to ask her why she said that when she was curling her hair it smelt like popcorn. George keeps thinking that Lynly might have done it on purpose and after they kiss when they are supposed to, she runs off crying. George goes to see her and they talk it out but turns out that Lynly has decided to leave town and go back home.

Right when the Lieutenant has agreed to sign the papers to save BlueBell Shelby comes in to give him the wonderful news! Um, wrong choice. Another wrong choice, Zoe taking the blame for Wade losing little Harley’s salamander. She makes up a story about looking through his backpack for lip balm and Aunt Winifred blames it on her New-York-ness and tells her she will not rent her the house. Wade, being the good guy goes to Harley and tells him the truth about losing Siezzle his Salamander. Then Viviene and Zoe show up with Siezzle, but he’s not fooled he knows that this one isn’t the same one and that Siezzle 2 hates Wade as well.

Now the Lieutenant is all worked up about the recent news Shelby gave him. He goes to talk to her and after Shelby is with Brick telling him the whole truth about the Lieutenant and the baby and how she is leaving BlueBell. Looks like there’s more than one goodbye in this episode. Lavon sadly tells the people at the Rammer Jammer that BlueBell is not saved but then the Lieutanent arrives and says he forgot t o sign the papers and declares BlueBell a historic landmark. Joel and Zoe decide to get a home, but Joel tells her that they will buy it. This is a new, huge step for this lovely couple. It also seems like things are good between Viviene and Wade and everyone is a happy couple.

We’ll see what Hart of Dixie brings us next week!

Hart of Dixie Recap: “Star of the Show”

20140113-202119.jpg

Welcome back to Hart of Dixie recap day! Refresh your BlueBell memory with last week’s recap HERE!

BlueBell is under merging problems and Lavon is still not into being out and about around town. To make him feel better AnnaBeth makes him an amazing breakfast but not good enough to make him go out.

lavon hayes, cress williams, annabeth nass, kaitlyn black

Oh heck no! Did George just say Tanzy in his sleep while he was next to Lynly. With a push off the bed George has to explain himself, but all’s well. Zoe on the other hand is being patronized by Joel on her creativity and decids he would edit a speech she was to make at a family gathering.

Shelby has now lost her creative director and the opening of her cabaret club is right around the corner. She is frantic and asks Brick to help and cancel all his appointments for the day. AnnaBeth and Brick are in dire need of Lemon whose scheming and plotting are all welcome at this time of need. So as Lemon is video chatted in she helps the Belles with the merger and Brick with the Shelby, creative director situation. Her advice, get the worst director to tank the opening and make Shelby disappear. Naturally Zoe walks in and volunteers herself! Well here we go!

Day one of Zoe and the “One Cellular Sensation” and she has high hopes for all the cast members. Joel does persist and asks if he is needed and would be of help but it’s a no for Z. She is so thrilled to be directing the show that she doesn’t see how Joel is trying to warn her about how maybe Brick plotted something with Lemon to get rid of Shelby. When he does flat out say it, Zoe says Brick would never do that.

Tanzy is down in the dumps with her beau but George comes to the rescue to tell her he is a jerk. But Tanzy won’t have it as she called Lynly a “crazy-eyed girl”, of course she creeps up behind them which makes for a quick exit for Tanzy. Cricket is out on the town trying to get Maryanne Matthews to stay in BlueBell. Now that her car is broken down Lavon steps in and tells her that the people of BlueBell are unique and they love their town. She spots the cabaret sign and asks for a front and center table as she is a fanatic of the showbiz. But oh boy is she in for a “cellular treat”.

Anyone else still annoyed by Wade and Vivian? Wade proposes a night out at a dive bar and Vivian agrees but Tanzy lets Wade know that she is a classy lady and he needs to step it up for her. Wade changes plans and Vivian has to change them so she won’t be able to go out with him. Though Wade is now over thinking about the hair flip Vivian does that Tanzy told him about. Hair flips equal uncomfortableness.

Lemon is on a good one this episode, via video chat that is. After contacting the Belles and her father, her next victim is Lavon who needs a pep in his step to do something about the merger. Then Lemon is on to George to give him a push towards Scooter and lawyering him out. As the four of them, George, Scooter, Tanzy and Lynly go on a hike things get heated when BlueBell and Fillmore merging talk comes up. George tells him about how they know about the shopping mall, Tanzy convinces George that Lynly might be a bit crazy and Scooter leaves frustrated by the fact that Tanzy spied on him.

While Brick confronts Shelby about driving him crazy and being unable to resist her, she faints and ends up at the doctors with low blood pressure. Now it’s bed rest for her and the cabaret is under Joel’s command per Zoe’s instructions. So it’s a revamp of the “Cellular Sensation” and back to the old 12 minutes of Shelby-inspired cabaret and to save the town!

With Mrs. Matthews front and center the show begins. With a slow start, the cabaret is well, a, um…disaster. But wait! Shelby to the rescue, baby bump and all! In a carriage or should I say hospital bed, and bedazzled red sparkling outfit, there’s no stopping her now, add a kick line and her performance is a hit! Mrs. Matthews absolutely adored the show and discovered that the BlueBell people really do love their town. Merger saved!

Back in Wade town he makes a stop at Vivian’s house to see how she is. Embarrassed to tell Wade what her real problem is he starts to worry. But not to fret, it’s just that she is a single mother, has a little boy and loves her job and just can’t hang like the kiddos do. In George land, with Lynly drunk and asleep, Tanzy and George share a conversation outside his boat. They both tell each other it was harder to see the other with another person and Tanzy says, “sometimes I think i should’ve never let you go.” As she puts her head on his shoulder, the shot pans out to reveal Lynly overhearing their conversation.

Zoe Hart isn’t all done with her “One Cellular Sensation” show. She gives Joel one last song and it’s bed time for them. OK maybe they’re cute together but they ain’t no Zade, or Woe…Wade and Zoe, you get the what I’m trying to say.

Come back next week for another Hart of Dixie Recap!

Hart of Dixie Recap: “Help Me Make It Through The Night”

hartofdi

It’s Halloween time in BlueBell and its citizen’s are just as thrilled about the town’s festivities.

Last week left us with Lemon quitting the Belle’s in Take This Job & Shove It.

Help Me Make it Through the Night, is the perfect title for last night’s episode as everyone is literally trying to make it through this, interesting night.

Wade’s in bed with a girl and it’s NOT Zoe Hart! Too bad we find out that his little one-night stand has a very threatening and buff BF who makes it his mission to track down Wade all through the night.

Lemon is blacklisted from the one party she desperately wants to attend and enlists some help to get her in. The Halloween Masquerade Ball is one of the most prestigious soirees and the only place that Lemon can find a suitable mate. This means serious business is in order as it’s time to call the one and only Grandpa Betty, her gracious and oh-so-charming self, *not the sarcasm, has arrived to help Lemon get into the Ball, much to Brick’s distaste. With a snap of her fingers Lemon is in and G-ma even got the righteous bachelor, Tanner Hughes as her date. You go grandma! Or so we think.

hart-of-dixie-270

Much to Zoe’s dislike, Joel and Wade spend some time together as he is on his quest to make new friends. They actually get along quite well on account that we all know Wade still loves Z.

As the night continues, having secured an invitation to the Ball and Tanner H., Lemon is less than thrilled with her pretentious date. One Tree Hill’s Robert Buckley makes a guest appearance as Peter, a news producer covering worldwide issues, who’s passing by town. What a cutie pie is he! Having been invited to the Masquerade we see that he’s quite smitten with Lemon. Being her escape to her tool-of-a-date at the Halloween Masquerade Ball, they make a dash for it and walk the streets of BlueBell and grab drinks as they get to know each other. Their night ends with a special kiss and an invitation into Peter’s B&B room.

Lovebirds, Levon and AnnaBeth’s anniversary is coming up and Lavon has a surprising night for AB that has her thinking she might get proposed to. AB runs to Zoe for a check up and to gossip about what Lavon might be up to, discovers a potential ovarian cyst that could lead to infertility. Scared that a future with Lavon would be ruined by this news,  AnnaBeth tries to distract him by having Zoe and Joel come over on their special night.

hartofdixie

Oh and that Wade Kinsella cannot get his hands off married and attached ladies as he continues to go after another one at the Masquerade Ball and continues to escape the refrigerator-sized bully coming after him. George disgusted by Wade’s actions asks him what is wrong with him and makes it known that Wade is only going after the ones he shouldn’t be with because he can’t get the one he truly wants.

At the end of the night Lemon, AB, and Wade make it through, as Lemon got a night to remember ;), we find out that AnnaBeth is healthy and ready  to have as many little football babies as she pleases but there was never a proposal in Lavon’s plans just a viewing of “The Night Of the Living Dead”, and Wade didn’t get killed by the crazy one-night stand’s boyfriend!

What are your thoughts on this week’s episode? Will Peter be Lemon’s one true love? Are we finally starting to maybe like Joel?

Comment below!

Hart of Dixie Recap: “Take This Job & Shove It”

hartZoe Hart lovers unite! Last week we left off with poor new bf Joel not situating so well in BlueBell. Lemon and Wade’s secret love plan back fired when Meatball arrivds at Lavon and AnnaBeth’s dinner party and news spread that he and Lemon were sleeping together.

*Spoiler alerts ahead

In this week’s episode of Hart of Dixie, Zoe is as zany as ever, unemployed and with so much free time that all she can do is get into some trouble. Trying to plot a way into getting back her old job, Brick is not having it as he sends out a spy to make sure she doesn’t treat any of his patients. When Joel springs the idea of Zoe starting her own practice, George Tucker is quick to shoot down the idea.

Speaking of George Tucker, he gets his hands messy with little Lynly only to be saved by none other than Hart herself. Cricket is feistier than ever as the new leader of the Belles and is quick to shoot down any of Lemon’s ideas. With rebellion in Lemon’s eyes the game is on!

Take This Job and Shove It

Lavon talks Brick into wooing an old friend in hopes to bring a minor league baseball team into BlueBell. Wade punches Joel to distract Brick from searching for Zoe as she is secretly treating a special patient and when it comes down to it, our girl Zoe gets exactly what she wanted!

While I do enjoy me some Hart of Dixie, I must say it has been a rather slow start for me. Can we just have Wade and Zoe be back together and be done with it? We’ll see what next week’s Halloween themed HoD brings us!

Until next time!
