Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 1, Episode 20 - The Race & the Relationship - full transcript

Lavon and I had an affair.

- And I cannot tell you how sorry I am.
- Don't. It's over.

George broke off the wedding.
What's going on?

- I cheated on George.
- Do you really think that about me?

- That I'm snobbish and shallow?
- Yeah, I do.

Lemon wasn't my destiny. It's my job
to go find out who that destiny is.

- What is that look on your face?
- Hope.

Now I know that George and I
would be-

That we could be great together.

- Uh, Zoe?
- Um.

George? One sec.



Come in.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Hi.
- Um, I'm sorry it's a little early.

I was just, uh...

I was kind of up all night,
wanting to talk to you. Here.

Thanks.

It's okay. I'm glad you're here.

How did it go last night with Lemon?

It was hard, um...

I yelled a lot. She cried a lot.

And, uh, I told her the wedding was off.

- You did?
- Heh, yeah.

I'm sorry. Um, are you okay?

I will be.



We're gonna tell the minister
in a couple of hours...

- ... and I think making it official will help.
- Definitely.

Possibly. I mean, I hope so.

I'm sorry, heh. I'm flustered.

Heh, that's okay.

So am I.

Look, uh, I can't stop thinking
about last night.

It was possibly the best night
of my life.

Me too.

But, uh, we kind of got a little swept away,
you know?

I know. We did. We so did.

Yeah. I'm just coming out
of a 15-year relationship.

So, you know, I was thinking that maybe
jumping right into another one...

- ... might not be fair for anyone.
- Right.

And, um, you know what they say.

You know, it's better to be fair
than not fair. I think they say that.

Yeah, and this is gonna sound
real clich?d, but I was just, um...

Maybe if it's okay with you, uh, for now,
uh, we just stay friends?

Just...

Friends? Yeah.

Absolutely.

You know, that is-
That is so the right thing.

- And I was going to suggest it even-
Great. Okay.

Oh, hey, Tucker.
Didn't expect to see you here so early.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Lavon, he injured his ankle
pretty badly, so...

- Yeah.
- Okay, I'll be right there.

I guess I'll see you around, pal.

- Thanks for...
Yeah.

- How on earth did you fall out of a tree?
- We were training...

- ... for the BlueBell Battle.
- Yeah. And there's $5000 at stake.

And we gotta be able to do anything.

Bull riding, building plantations
out of macaroni, eating bugs.

So, what's the verdict?
He gonna be okay?

What, you still ignoring me?

Ask her if you're gonna be okay
for the race.

Look, this is ridiculous.

- Zoe, can I be in the race? Please?
- Nope. No.

You have a bad sprain.

Keep it stable
until the swelling goes down.

This is great. Thank you.

You know,
everything bad happens to me.

I have an idea. How about
to distract you from your pain...

...we talk about what happened to me
this morning? George came over.

- Uh-huh.
- He and Lemon are calling off the wedding.

But he says that we just have
to stay friends for now.

- I'm sorry?
- I was upset at first...

...because I know he felt what I felt
in New Orleans.

But then I realized,
he said, "For now. "

Meaning, in the future,
after a respectable grieving period...

...George and I will finally be together.
Isn't that great?

Whenever I say anything about George,
you either don't listen or you get angry.

So from now on,
all I'm gonna say is, "No comment. "

Okay. That's fair.

But how long of a grieving period
do you think people need after 15 years?

- Couple weeks? A month?
- Oh, no.

Not two months, right, Lavon?

Well, hello, George, Lemon.

What brings you two lovebirds here
today?

Well, uh, Reverend Mayfair, um...

...Lemon and I have decided
to call off our wedding.

That's funny.

Oh, you're not- You're not kidding.

Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't understand, uh...

- What happened?
- Well, uh, it's a long story...

...and neither of us are looking
to point fingers right now.

We'd just like your advice
on how best to deal with this.

I will help in any way I can.
But let me ask you now...

...is this something that the both of you
are certain you want?

No. It's not what I want, reverend.

- It's not.
- Lemon.

Listen, George is angry.

He is furious,
and who can blame him?

He just found out
that I was having an affair.

- A what now?
It was a year ago...

...and it was a horrible mistake.

And I know that the wedding
is coming up in two weeks.

That may not be enough time
to forgive me...

...but I will do anything
for another chance.

Well, thank you for that, Lemon.
I know that wasn't easy.

George, what Lemon did
was an enormous transgression...

...one that I can't expect you
to take lightly.

But clearly, she still loves you.

Now, is there any hope that in time,
you will be able to forgive her?

This isn't about forgiveness.
This is about our relationship...

...and the foundation of our relationship
is broken.

And, ahem, I don't know
if I love her anymore.

Now, now, you don't know.

That's a key phrase.

George, you're in pain.

Pain, sometimes,
it can cloud the truth...

...which is why I cannot
in good conscience let you end this...

...without at least trying counseling.

- Yes.
Now, just to find some clarity.

Please, just a few sessions.

I wouldn't ask if I weren't desperate.

But, uh, what are your plans
for the BlueBell Battle?

I was gonna be one of those guys
who hands out orange slices.

I'm not good under pressure. I choke.

Ahem, hi, Wanda. Hi. Hello.

I like your sweater, Tom.

The puppies really bring out
your eyes.

That's why my mom got it for me.

I was wondering...

...would you be my partner
for the BlueBell Battle?

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

Great. I'll see you then.

Bye.
- Did you hear that?

- That's our first date.
- Yeah. I heard.

I'm never washing this sweater again.

I know how much you want
that prize money.

- I wish I could do the race with you.
- Me too.

That stupid rule
that says you gotta live in BlueBell.

We'll find you the perfect partner.

- Which, let's face it, wasn't Tom Long.
- Yeah.

What are you looking for
in a teammate?

Well, ahem, my assets are, uh,
A, I know this town like the back of my hand.

Mm-hm.
- B, mechanical.

- C, wily.
- Wily.

D, I can hold my breath
for three minutes. You know that?

- Oh.
- But I'm not traditionally book smart.

Especially when those books
have to do with math.

And ideally, I'd find a partner
who, uh, has good fine motor skills...

...because I can barely thread a needle.

You need Zoe Hart, heh.

She's a surgeon.
She can fit in small spaces.

You just have to make her
take off those heels.

Zoe Hart would never be my partner.

Why?
You're not still hung up on her, are you?

No, no, no, it's not that, uh...

She overheard me say some unkind...

...but true things about her recently.

And, uh, well, she's pissed at me.

Well, I can think of 5000 reasons
this is a good time to apologize.

Zoe.
- Hi.

- I have huge news.
- Hmm, what?

Well, ever since Magnolia broke up
with Frederick Dean...

...I've been dropping hints, hoping.
And yesterday, he finally asked me out.

Oh, woo-hoo! It was only a matter of time
before men pick the right girl.

I know, but there's just one problem.
Mom won't let me date until I'm 15.

- Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
- No, no, please.

You have to talk to her.
Tell her that there is no reason...

...that I have to wait
for my arbitrary birthday to live my life.

You're a doctor. Just tell her that
this can cause developmental issues.

Rose, no, I cannot interfere
with her parental decisions.

Please.
My stomach is in knots about this.

I can't even eat. You of all people know
how I feel about Frederick Dean.

I do know.

Yes, I know
that you have waited patiently...

...for him to finally break up
with his girlfriend...

...and you've dutifully been his friend
while he got over it.

And I know that now,
it is your time to be happy.

- So, yes, I will talk to your mother.
- Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hey, George.

Buddy.

- Uh, how'd it go with the minister?
- Well, not exactly as planned.

He, um, convinced us to do counseling.

Hey, well, that's cool.

I think it's ridiculous myself. But I guess
there might be some merit to it.

That- Yeah, I think that therapy
is a great idea.

Yeah, yeah.

You know, thank you
for understanding all this.

- I'm real lucky to have you in my life, Zoe.
- Oh.

Counseling never works, right?

It's a well-known fact.

Tony Soprano was in counseling
for, like, the entire series.

Did he stop killing people? No.

- And she was a really good therapist.
- No comment.

- Whoa, can't barge in here. I'm with a patient.
- It's Lavon.

But you're right, I apologize.

- What do you want?
- I know you're angry at me.

So I'm sorry or whatever.

But I'm hoping we can put that
behind us...

...so you'll be my partner
in the race tomorrow.

I think we could be
a really good team.

Heh, that's funny. That was a good one.

- Oh, you're not joking.
Hmm.

What is with that guy?

I'm so glad that you both agreed
to be here.

It's a huge step.

And, uh, with the wedding
right around the corner...

...we have to try to do a lot
in a small amount of time.

Now, uh, you ready?

- Yes.
- Great. Let's begin.

George, I appreciate
what a kind heart you have.

I appreciate how selflessly you
give yourself to anyone who's in need.

I appreciate your sweet green eyes.

That's wonderful, Lemon.

George, your turn.

Lemon...

...I appreciate that you feel that way.

So use the paddles to express
your emotions right now.

Go ahead.

Yeah, you know what, reverend?

I think that there's got-

I-

I think that this is not possibly...

- ... the best way to-
- Let it out, George. Let it out.

- There's got to be- There's got to be-
- Go ahead.

There's just got to be a better way.
There's- Stop it!

Would you just-? Unh!

Apparently I'm very mad
at that thing.

Well, now, no one said
this was going to be easy...

...but I'd like you to try one last thing
before we give up.

- Anything. Anything. Anything.
- No. Come on.

You two are still signed up
for the BlueBell Battle.

I'd love for you to go through with it.

Oh, yes.

Why on earth would we do that?

It's a day of working together,
communicating...

...seeing what you can accomplish
as a team.

And, well, as metaphors go,
it's, uh- It's pretty darn solid.

- I think it's a great idea. Oh, yes.
- You know what? No, no, no.

Now, George- Now, I don't wanna have
to play the big G card on you here...

...but I am your minister...

...and I know that he would want you
to take one last shot...

...before you throw away 15 years
of history.

Yeah. Irma, out- Just out of curiosity,
as one who loves facts and figures...

...what is the final day
that I could cancel the catering...

...and, uh, still get my money back?

Oh, yeah, as in two days from now.
I see.

Oh, yeah, just keep taking those aspirin
every four hours. Yeah. Goodbye.

- Lemonade.
- Hi, Daddy.

- You are looking so much brighter.
- Therapy is working.

- He forgave you?
- Well, not yet.

But he agreed to do the BlueBell Battle
with me.

Oh, well, that is great.

- But the wedding...?
- Well, I mean, technically it's still off.

But all tomorrow,
we will be working in close quarters...

...under extreme conditions,
and we will connect again.

When we win, there's no way George will
be able to deny we still belong together.

That is just great. Great, sweetheart.
Does the wall have a murmur?

I was just listening
to a crazy termite...

...hatching a crazy plan
that absolutely will not work.

Okay.
Well, do you need to listen anymore?

- We're supposed to go talk to my mom.
- Right. I'm coming.

- Stupid Zoe Hart.
- It's her loss.

Because you're gonna win
that prize money. I'm sure.

- You always got my back, Tans.
- Heh.

You know how I'm gonna thank you?

I'm gonna take 30 bucks
out of that 5 K tomorrow...

...and I'm gonna take you out for dinner
after the race.

Why don't I cook dinner for you?
Just in case.

Well, all right, then.

- My place, it is.
- Heh.

- Hi, baby.
- Hi.

- Zoe, it's nice to see you.
- You too.

- Are you gonna be joining us for dinner?
- Oh, no, thanks.

- I just wanted to talk to you about Rose.
- No. She doesn't have one of those...

...teenage scary things
that I've seen on The View?

Um, texting thumb? Or tanorexia?

- No. No, I'm fine.
- She's fine.

It's just that this lovely young man
named Frederick Dean...

...has asked young Rose
out on a date.

I know she isn't allowed
until her birthday...

...but I thought maybe
you would consider reconsidering.

He seems like a nice boy,
but a rule is a rule.

Uh, but, you know, what if Frederick
and Rose did the race tomorrow?

It's not a date, and it is a fitness activity,
and it's completely in public.

Well, the race sounds pretty harmless.

- Fine. You win.
- Thanks, Mom.

Well, I'm gonna get us some menus.

I love this place, but the service
is never really more than a six.

A race? Really? That's not what
I had in mind for my first date.

This is gonna be better.
You know, I used to do this kind of stuff.

My mom would send me
to sleep-away camp, you know?

The stakes were high, it was fun,
but so intense.

You couldn't help but deeply connect
with your partner.

That's how a lot of camp love affairs
started.

I guess you're right.

I need to go take care of something.

- Ahem. Hi.
- What?

Did you still need a partner
for that race thing tomorrow?

I was thinking it actually
might be a good way for me...

...to drum up some patients.

- Uh, I don't know.
- You keep all the money.

- Done.
- Great.

Believe me, Wade Kinsella,
we are going to win everything we want.

George, thank you again
for doing this for me.

- Zoe, what are you doing here?
- I'm limbering up.

Don't wanna pull a hammy.

Why are you in this race?

Because I can't let Lemon just weasel
her way back into George's heart.

I need to show George
that I'm in this race too.

So that's why I am joining the race.

It's a huge gesture.
There's no way George could miss it.

No comment.

BRICK
Attention!

Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a great pleasure for me to welcome
everyone to our own BlueBell Battle.

A series of challenges that will test y'all
like you've never been tested before.

And to the last team standing...

...goes the coveted Golden Bell
and $5000. Whoo!

- Is everyone ready?
- Yeah.

Teams, on your mark.

And...

Go, go, go.

We have to assemble the wheelbarrow
and the next clue will be revealed.

Manual labor isn't really my thing.

Dang instructions,
how do you even unfold-?

Oh, this might be it- Yep, there it is.
I unfolded them.

Oh.

Heh, it's just a standard model.
Five and a half cubic feet load capacity.

Go with the three-quarter-inch
hex bolt and lock nut.

You're the girl in my dreams and the girl
I made on my computer rolled into one.

See? This isn't so bad.

Such a beautiful day.

It is just so nice when two people
can work together in quiet...

...without all those pesky words, heh.

What are you doing?

The instructions say to do that part later.
See? In diagram 8-H.

- I don't do instructions, all right, doc?
- Wade.

Just give me a sec, okay? Shoot.

I cannot believe you.

I was doing fine. Till you come in here
with all your buzzing...

...and your bossing in my ear.
And suddenly- Suddenly, I'm distracted.

We have to stop fighting.
It's not getting us anywhere.

Neither is this wheelbarrow.

- Hey, Tansy. Come on in.
- Oh, yeah.

I'm sorry to bother you.
I was gonna make Wade dinner tonight.

But his spice rack is basically
just takeout ketchup packets...

...and what hopefully were old raisins.

I was wondering
if I could borrow your kitchen for a bit.

- Oh, no problem.
- Okay.

Happy for the company.
I'm laid up here on injured reserve, so...

So you and, uh, Wade and dinner?
Does that mean...?

Oh, heh, he does really seem
to wanna change.

Let's just hope wanting
is the same as doing.

I hear that.

- What you making?
- Chicken and mashed potatoes.

But I wanna make a real fancy dessert
like a parfait or souffl?, cr?me brul?e.

I don't know. Something A.
I really wanna make it special.

Tansy, please don't take this
the wrong way...

...but, uh, have you cooked before?

I'm kind of a takeout ketchup
kind of girl myself.

- Would you care for some help?
- On the dessert.

- Okay.
- And the entr?e.

Okay.

Okay, welcome to challenge number
four. This is a multi-step event.

- Get cracking, you're in eighth place.
- All right, let's go.

- Doc, what are you doing? Hurry up.
- Okay.

Oh, Rose, Frederick. I hate to tell you
this but you're the last to arrive.

That means you're out.

After only three events?

- Darn it.
- Yeah, shoot.

Hey, wanna go to the Dixie Stop
to get a milkshake?

Okay.

So why is this prize money
so important to you?

You're gonna think it's stupid.
- No, I won't.

I wanna open my own bar.

I was gonna use the 5 K to start it up.
And, uh, you know, a little luck...

...maybe turn it into something.

Go ahead. Laugh.

Why would I laugh at that?

I think that's a really good idea, Wade.
Good for you.

See? Look at us. The minister was right.
We have what it takes. We're winning.

That just proves that we can do anything
if we try.

I'm motivated to have this race end
as quickly as possible.

But, George, I mean,
you can't deny that we're still- We're us.

- The us that you knew doesn't exist.
- I know that, but-

The fact that we make a good team
doesn't change that you had an affair.

- I know that-
- Or that I kissed Zoe in New Orleans.

I'm gonna get some more corn.

Hey, Wade, do, uh, Southern men
understand gestures?

Well, depends on the gesture, I guess.

Some of them we get real well.

Like this big BlueBell race.

I mean, it's not really my thing.
Yet, I did it. That's a big deal, right?

- So you didn't do this to get patients?
- No.

Look, uh, I think it's still
a little confusing.

Men don't do subtle, doc.

I think you really better spell it out
clearly for us.

You're right.

Thanks, Wade.

You're welcome.

Slice and bake cookies are genius.

You slice, you bake, bam.

I can handle that, heh.

And we got a lot of wine.

Because a lot of wine
will make any meal taste better.

- Wade. How's it going?
- Hey, we're coming on strong.

Uh, Tans, I gotta cancel the dinner plans
tonight.

I'm sorry, but, uh, there's, like, this
after-party thing for all the contestants...

...so I should be there as the winner.

- Uh, rain check?
- No biggie. Good luck.

All right, thanks.
I'll see you guys later. Bye.

Thank you, miss.

- Chopsticks, extra napkins.
- Hey.

Why'd you cancel on Tansy like that?

Lavon, something is happening
with Zoe.

I don't know exactly how to explain it,
but it's like finally we're clicking.

- You and Zoe?
- I know. I know.

It sounds crazy, but trust me, all right?
Wish me luck.

All right. All right.
I'll see you later. Bye.

Wish me luck!

Good luck.

Oh, doc, you sewed that fast.

- Fastest whip stitch.
- Don't slow down now.

- I gotta get more hay. I'll be right back.
- Okay.

Zoe, I need to talk to you.

I know you're trying to make
some big gesture to George...

- ... by competing in this race-
- I know what you're gonna say.

That was a crazy plan.

Yes, it was.

- I'm glad you see that, because-
- A gesture isn't gonna be enough.

George won't know how I feel
unless I spell it out for him.

The moment he's alone,
I'm gonna lay it all on the line.

Look, Zoe,
I know how you feel about George.

But you're in this contest with Wade.

- I don't wanna see him get hurt.
- Why would he get hurt?

We are working so well together.
We might win the money for his bar.

Zoe, I really don't get how you still
don't know this, but Wade likes you.

What?

No. Okay, maybe he did before,
but not anymore. Definitely not.

Just be careful. He's a good guy.

He has no clue that you're only working
with him to get to someone else.

You'll never believe it.
Ben and Babs Foster?

Done, Zoe. You and me? Third place.

And it's all thanks to your,
you know, quick surgeon sewing.

See y'all later.

All right.
- All right.

Hey, did you know
that astronauts can't belch?

Well, in space.

On land, they can.

You gonna drink that shake?

Okay.

It's a really nice night, isn't it?
Look how clear that sky is.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

- Know what this is a perfect night for?
- Taking a walk, gazing at the stars?

Night fishing.
We should go to Old Babcock pond.

- It'll be great.
- Night fishing?

Sure. Yeah, let's go-
Let's go catch some fish.

We have our rod.

All we have to do now is use this
to get the magnetic fish off the church...

...and we win this whole thing, Tom.
Five thousand dollars.

You did it. Oh, you did it all.

I'm so sorry.
I feel like I've hogged all the activities.

It's one downside to being the only girl
in a family of five boys.

So this one, you should do.

Me?

Me.

I forgive you for kissing Zoe Hart.

- You what?
- You were lashing out...

...because you were hurt
and you were angry...

...and it's understandable.

- You gotta be kidding me.
- What? Just talk to me.

I don't know. It's just, you know-

Ever since Zoe gets to town,
you have been worried.

And then I tell you that I kissed her...

- ... and you don't care?
- What?

- No, I didn't say I didn't care, George.
- Are you so obsessed...

...with this wedding, that you can't see
that we have problems?

I'm obsessed with the wedding
because I want to marry you, all right?

- I love you.
Yeah, all right, well, guess what?

Love?
It ain't gonna fix anything anymore...

...because our relationship is just-
It's...

...broken.

I don't want it to go to your head, but, uh,
I really appreciate you being out here.

I couldn't have made it this far
without you.

What, are you complimenting me?
Are you sick or dying or something?

Zoe, I think I need to spell something
out for you pretty clearly.

Uh, well, I tried to take you
to the airport once to tell you there.

I tried to tell you a few different times,
but...

I guess I'm just gonna come right out
and say it, um...

- Zoe, I need you.
- Rose, you're a little pale.

- Is everything okay?
No. Everything is not okay.

The date is going terribly.

Frederick Dean wants to go
to Old Babcock pond to catch fish.

I'm wearing a new dress.
Do I look like I wanna dig for worms?

- Ew, no.
- I know.

Um, hello? Ladies, seriously?

Old Babcock pond is, like,
a legendary make-out spot.

Frederick asked you to go there
so he could get all up in your tonsils.

Oh, my God. Wait, are you serious?

Zoe, I've never kissed anyone before.

No. I'm so nervous, I feel sick.
My stomach hurts so bad.

- I can't do this.
- Rose, those are just butterflies.

The question is, do you wanna kiss
Frederick Dean or not?

- Of course I do.
- Then go make it happen.

Okay. All right.

Okay. Okay.

Whoa, hey, hey, hey.

Tom Long is totally choking
over there.

- I know. I know.
- What if you-?

We have a chance to win this thing.

Uh, I need to go get
a Phillips head screwdriver.

I'll be right back, okay?

Hold on. I'll be right back.

George, where are you going?

To tell the judges we're out.

- Our rod's broken. We can't win now.
- Hey.

Don't you quit on me, George Tucker.

You may not love me now, but I have
enough love for the both of us.

Enough love to get us through this until
you can forgive me and love me again.

I am not finished with you, George...

...and I am willing to do anything
to win you back.

Now. Tell him now.

Crap.

George.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look, here's the thing.

I lied before.

I don't wanna be just friends.

I joined this race to fight for you.

- Zoe, I-
- I know, I know.

It's such bad timing.

But I want you to know
that I'll wait for you.

I'll wait, no matter how long it takes.

Just please don't get back
with Lemon.

Because, George...

Lemon.

What are you doing up there?
Come on down.

Lemon, get down.
You're gonna break your neck.

No. I'm not giving up on us, George.

I'm gonna get that fish
and we're gonna win this race.

Wade.
Fifty screws and bolts...

...all over the grass.
We're never gonna win now.

- Let me help you.
- Just stop, okay? Just stop.

Forget about it.
There's no point, okay? There's no point.

It's over and thank you for costing me
$5000. Thank you for that.

Wade, I'm so sorry.

I cannot believe...

...that I didn't see this
from the beginning.

You never wanted to help me.

The only thing you wanted
was what you always do. Him.

And you are so obsessed
with getting what you want...

...you don't care who you hurt
along the way.

Well, let me tell you something,
Zoe Hart.

George Tucker and Lemon Breeland
are getting married.

That is how this story ends.

Why does everyone in this town see that
but you?

Lemon, get down from there.
You're starting to give people a scare.

- Aah!
- Lemon! Lemon!

- George, I'm gonna fall.
- Lemon, listen, you're not gonna fall.

- I'm gonna fall.
- Just slide back towards the roof, okay?

Just one step at a time.
You can do this.

I can't move, George. I can't move.

Okay.

Stay right there, you hang on.
I'm coming. I'm coming.

Hurry, George. George, hurry, please.

Hurry.

Most people don't know it,
but you catch better fish at night.

Particularly spotted bass.

- Spotted bass like to eat worms, which-
- Oh, my gosh, Frederick.

I thought we were on a date.

We are, right?

Then why are we talking
about fish and worms?

I thought you liked science.

And I wanted you to know
I respect you as a woman.

I didn't want you to think I just...

- ... wanted to take you here to kiss you.
- But we're on a date.

And I've been sitting here all night
waiting for you to kiss me.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- I'm here. I'm here, okay?
- George?

I'm right here. Come on.

- Can you feel my hand? Okay.
- Okay.

One step at a time, just slide this way.

- Oh, God. God.
Ugh.

Okay, right in here.
- Oh, God.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

George, the fish.

- He's gonna lean in for the fish.
- George?

He's going for the fish.

Come back.

Okay.

So I hear the race
was pretty interesting.

Yeah, heh.

Okay.

There might still be something
between us.

Maybe.

Look, George.

Lemon made a mistake.

And she's gonna continue to make them,
as will you.

So I ask you, now,
when you saw her up on that roof...

...what were you thinking?

I was just thinking, uh...

"Please, God,
do not let anything happen to her.

Because if something did, then, heh... "

I'm sorry I let you down.

I choked.

I'm a choking hazard.

You didn't let me down, Tom.

I didn't care about the race.

I just wanted to be with you.

- Really?
- Yes. Really.

I think you're wonderful, Tom Long.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I just wanted to thank you
for everything tonight.

And to say goodbye.

I'm not gonna be hanging out
in BlueBell anymore.

What? Really?

Come on, Lavon.
I know why Wade cancelled on me.

It's my fault.

I'm the one who suggested Wade
ask Zoe to be his partner.

I think I did it
to see how he felt about her.

And now I know.

Tans, I have suffered
the same ailment.

I wanted someone
who simply was not good for me.

- But I can help you, okay?
- What? How?

Make a list of every reason
you and Wade should not be together.

- All right?
- Okay.

"Emotionally unavailable,
rigid and icy...

- ... doesn't like to cuddle-"
- Oh, oh, heh.

Sorry, that's mine, heh.

Yeah, there.

- Go on, purge away.
- Okay.

- One, insensitive.
- Good.

Two, bad taste in movies.

That's a good one. You know,
I'm gonna add that one to my list.

Okay.

Three, immature.

Hey, Wade.

- You okay?
- Tansy, I am so sorry I cancelled on you.

- What are y'all writing?
- A list of your negative qualities.

Gonna help me get over you
once and for all.

- Twelve, your bathroom is disgusting.
Hmm.

Thirteen, your socks are everywhere.

That's because I have a hard time
finding the right match. Now, ho-

This is mean.

- Yeah, but it really works.
- Heh, yeah.

Give me a notebook.

All right.

Let's get this purging party started, heh.

Selfish.

Stupid shorts.

- Hey.
Hey.

- Can I...?
- Oh, sure.

- Zoe, look, I, uh-
- You don't have to say it.

I know. I saw.

You're getting back together
with Lemon.

Yeah.
And I know it probably seems insane.

George, it's fine.

You've made your choice.

It's just that, uh...

...Lemon...

...she's a part of me...

...and we owe it to each other
to try and make this thing work.

Because you love her?

That's the thing.

I do.

It's horrible, Lavon.

Oh, hey, Tansy.

- Wade, I am so sorry.
- Zoe, I'm sorry.

We're in the middle of something.

Now, I told you how he felt,
and I told you not to mess with him.

I couldn't have been more clear.

You can't be here right now.

Brick? Is everything okay?

Is she all right?

- Thanks. Hey.
- Hey.

She was in the woods with Frederick.

She complained of stomachache
and she collapsed.

- He carried her back here.
- Her appendix?

- Yeah, Zoe, it burst.
- Oh.

- Rose, Annie, I'm here.
- Oh, no, you are not coming with us.

I shouldn't have let her go on that date
with this boy.

You said she would be fine.
