Having decided to move back to Bluebell in the Season 3 premiere, Zoe has her work cut out as she has lots of skeletons in her closet, especially concerning her past relationships. Trying her best to draw out the allure of the quaint little town to her boyfriend, Zoe does her best to avoid Wade and enlists the help of Annabeth and Lavon to help make the transition from New York to Bluebell more likable. A party in honor of Joel is planned, but before the party’s initial start, things go a little awry in Bluebell during the day. Joel is not yet used to the simplicity that is Bluebell. He wakes up early in the morning to the heat, he constantly asks about the wifi connection, but being the creative type he is, he is without a doubt the most understanding of Zoe’s boyfriend thus far.
Also, relationships are getting more complicated in our small town of Bluebell as George realizes that the girl he had a one night stand with was Lavon’s younger cousin, Linley. Linley has a huge school girl’s crush on George and because he doesn’t want Lavon to know what happened between him and Linley, he reluctantly agrees to tutor Linley for the LSATs. Other than that, Wade and Lemon are forced to continue their fake relationship after Zoe decided to stay in town instead of returning to New York. The residents of Bluebell are caught off guard as they did not expect Lemon and Wade to ever get together. As the charade goes on, Lemon finds herself in a dilemma as a marriageable bachelor visits town, and she is now attached and unable to date him. Surprisingly this little act of Lemon and Wade do not last the night as Meatball publically announces at the party that Lemon has been having sex with him all summer, out of spite. The ships have truly sailed for Lemon and it’s quite clear that there was nothing going on between Wade and Lemon after all. The episode ends with Zoe visiting Wade and telling him that they must learn to coexist in their small town together. Wade easily gives in to the good doctor, but who knows how much he can endure before he tries to win her hear over again. In the meanwhile, Zoe is successful in converting Joel to the small town life as he is officially charmed.
