Bluebell’s newest
resident, Joel, is not coping so well with the southern way of life he cannot
deal with the humidity and he sits on fire ant rock. Also to add insult to
injury in this episode he finds out about Zoe and Wade and also notices some
tension between him and George Tucker. In this episode Zoe aims to show him the
charms of the town in order to make him fall in love with it like she has but
it does not go so well. In fact the only person in Bluebell that likes Joel
other than Zoe is Tom Long, he loves Joel’s writing.
The town is buzzing
about ‘Lemonade’ (Lemon and Wade) and within the episode we find out each of
the inhabitants of Bluebell’s reactions to it. Meatball finds out from the
belles and believes that he is ‘the other man’ Brick is not best pleased and
confronts Wade over the relationship.
After their one
night stand Lynley gets a little too attached to George after he makes her eggs
in the morning. They agree to not exchange names and avoid each other but this
is made hard after Lavon recruits George to help him locate this Mystery man.
Lemon suffers in
this episode as she is trying to keep up the pretence that her and Wade are
together to make Zoe Jealous, whilst also trying to find herself an eligible bachelor
to stop her from sleeping with Meatball. Naturally, one is in town Carter
Cuvington and he is interested and she asks Wade to dissolve their fake
relationship. After seeing Lemon and Carter at the Dixie stop, Zoe is convinced
that the relationship with Wade is fake and lets Wade know this. Joel and Zoe
weirdly bond over this as Joel states that the writer in him needs to know how
and why they are faking the relationship.
Anabeth and Lavon
are hosting a welcome to Bluebell dinner party for Joel, meant to be an
intimate affair, of course the whole town ends up inviting themselves. The
party does not go without a hitch, trying to get Lavon and Joel to bond is
difficult as Lavon hated Joel’s book and posted bad reviews about it on Amazon.
Joel is also taken ill after he has an allergic reaction. I'm missing the Lavon/Zoe time and I feel that Joel may put a wedge between them.
After being forced
together at the party George lets Lynley know that he doesn’t want a new
relationship. This appears not to sink in as she hatches a plan to spend more
time with him by getting George to tutor her. I don't like this storyline, I think that now they have Joel I see where George fits in. I think him and Zoe should just be good friends like at the start of season 1.
Lemon and Wade have
a heart to heart and he asks her to still continue the fake relationship as it
is working by making Zoe Jealous. As a good friend she lets everyone know at
the party that they are together apart from Carter who she tells the truth. However
at this moment Meatball arrives and announces to everyone that he is sleeping
with Lemon, everyone then figures out that ‘Lemonade’ is fake, Carter leaves
town. I like that Lemon is trying to be a better person, I hated her in season 1 but she is becoming more and more likeable by episode.
Lemon tries to
salvage a relationship with Carter. Meatball arrives at the Dinner Party and
announces to the party that he is sleeping with Lemon. Everyone is shocked but
figures out ‘Lemonade’ is fake. Carter clears off.
At the end Zoe tells
Wade she didn’t like seeing him with someone else. They decide to find a way to
coexist and even share a joke.
Final Thoughts:
I like that they
haven’t forgot the past i.e. Lemon/Lavon and make little references to them
Cricket’s husband is
definitely gay, I like meeting these very small characters though as it can get
boring Zoe/George/Wade
I want to see more
Anabeth/Zoe scenes, Anabeth is a bit boring at the moment and I think Zoe needs
a gal pal
In addition to this
I want to see Zoe living back at Lavon’s so there can be some awkward breakfast
run ins
