Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 3, Episode 19 - A Better Man - full transcript

I'm here to celebrate the good
news about my beloved nephew

dating AnnaBeth Nass.

I'm here to warn you.

You came to my house

to tell me my new boyfriend

is only with me
as part of a plot...

I'm trying to protect you.

You're being
a jealous ex-boyfriend.

The sex was amazing.

- With Lemon?!
- Shh! Shh!

Every time I look at her,
I am physically unable



to stop picturing it.

- What's he...?
- Charles slept on the couch.

He stayed here?
It wasn't a big deal.

- Okay.
- I should go.

Yeah. I'll call you later.

Oh, what the hell.

Hi! You've reached
Vivian Wilkes.

Leave a message.

Uh, hey, Viv. It's Wade calling.

Just thought
I'd give you a shout.

Been a few days...

I am gonna wring your little...!

Uh...

not you.



The... the raccoon.

Which-which... may...

May-Maybe that sounded weird,
but there was...

there was a raccoon.

Which you probably guessed.

And, uh, well, now it's gone.

So, uh...

look, I-I'd love to see you.

And there are no more raccoons
over here at Casa de Wade.

Call me.

Casa de Wade. What?

I can't get any lower.

I've sunk as low
as humanly possible.

Blew our chance
to host the county fair.

A.B. hates me, town hates me.

And, in worse news,

I am the subject
of the Owls' charity roast.

They won't even need
to write jokes.

Come on. I know times are rough,
but you're Lavon Hayes.

Two Super Bowls, four Pro Bowls.

Every time you get knocked down,
you get right back up. Come on.

Go.

- Oh.
- Geez.

I did get knocked down a lot.

See, it's a pattern.
No, that's not what I meant at all.

Oh.

Oh.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Where are you going?

I need to talk to you.

Not now. Owl meeting.

I got to face the
music, the pitchforks,

the rotten tomatoes in my face.

de, everything okay?

Just fine. Dandy.

Yeah? Well, that thinking crease
is making a rare appearance

in your forehead,
so, what's going on?

It's just Vivian.

All right?
Things are, oh,

weird between us.

She's distant, she
won't return my calls.

She's spending a lot
of time with Charles.

So, her and Charles are friends.

It's evolved.
It's great for Harley.

I wish my parents made
that kind of effort.

Trust me, he's not making
that effort for Harley.

Oh, Wade, come on.
Vivian is crazy about you!

And Charles--
he's Charles.

But you-- you're you.

You know?
He's not a threat.

Oh, come on.
No more thinking face.

Look, I'll tell you what.

I have plans with Vivian
to get our nails done later.

I'll do some digging.

You'd do that for me?
Yeah, well, I have to.

I am your doctor.

Besides, all this sudden

thinking could be very dangerous
for your unused brain.

Ha, ha.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

George.

George.

Have you seen this report?

What are we gonna do?

Uh...

George! You're
doing it again.

- You're zoning out.
- No. No. No, Lemon, I'm not.

I was... I was just...
I was just

really thinking
about what you were saying.

- Which was...?
- You know, the...

The health
inspection report.

- Yeah.
- We got an A-minus.

Which is great.
An A-minus, George.

An A-minus!

Mae Ellen Waterloo has never
given me less than an "A,"

not even for the Rammer Jammer.

A glowing and pristine
cleanliness is my signature.

Okay.

Well, then, maybe Mae,
you know, had a bad morning.

She got out of bed on
the wrong side, or someone peed

- in her coffee. Who knows?
- Well, not at Fancie's!

That might have happened
at the Rammer Jammer,

but nobody ever knew, so...

I wish I didn't know about it.

George, you're right.

Mae wasn't her usual
bubbly self. She wasn't

whistling or making any jokes.

Exactly. There you go.
Mystery solved.

Now you can just move on.

Or... I can fix her.

Thank you, George.

Good Owls, last week
I let my personal life--

you know, my breakup with A.B.,

my animosity
for all things Gainey--

get in the way
of BlueBell's best interest.

Which is why
I understand if you want

to cancel your annual
Mayoral Toast and Roast.

Better yet, let's
vote on a replacement.

I nominate me.

No! Now, is there

anyone here
who has not crossed the line

when it comes
to matters of the heart?

Hmm? Why,
when I was

in the seventh grade,
I joined the choir

just so I could sit next
to Ella-Jean Swain.

It is possible

that I may have let

Cupid's arrow talk me out
of any number of tickets.

- Mm.
- I sent 150 postcards to Kerry Washington

and flowers on her birthday.

All returned.

Mm. Mayor Hayes,

we, the Owls, stand by you.

All those in favor
of moving forward

with the Mayoral
Toast and Roast,

let me hear you hoot.

Hooty, hoot, hoot, hoot!

Belles, I understand
there are some among you

that may take issue
with my new boyfriend.

It is true
that Davis Polk is a Gainey,

but he is also a wonderful

and honest man.

That said, if you feel
the need to censure me

or even ask for my resignation

as Belle co-leader,
I will not object.

Well, I will.

If AnnaBeth is happy,

then we should be happy

- for her.
- Agreed.

Seconded and thirded!

Especially after the way

you crapped out
in love this year.

Oops.
Send that to college, Crickett.

What I mean is,
shame on Mayor Hayes!

He wastes

some of
your most fertile months,

breaks up with you,
and then has the gall

to Gainey-shame you?!

Well, I'm not sure
I would go that far...

That's right, Elodie.

Lavon is the one who
should be censured.

I move that we pull out

of the Owls' Mayoral Toast
and Roast this year

in solidarity
for our beloved A.B.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, we've rehearsed,
and the costumes

are really great.

But, oh, y'all would do that
for me?

All in favor?

Yea!

Yay!

- Hey, George. How are you?
- Oh, hey.

- Good to see you.
- Oh, I'm good. I'm good. Thank you so much,

Reverend, for taking
the time to see me.

- It's much appreciated.
- Well,

of course, whenever one of my
flock asks for help, I help.

So, lay it on me, brother.

It's a little too much
vernacular sauce?

No, no, it's-it's...

- I'm sorry.
- Just a little...

Go ahead.

Uh, but, anyway,
the-the situation is...

You know, say that one
of your flock, uh,

had developed feelings for the

most spoiled, irritating
and annoying sheep in town,

and-and... he wants
to rid himself of said feelings.

George, it sounds
like you need something

to take your mind off
this particular sheep,

and I know
just what it should be.

Prayer.

A date with our visiting
Sunday school teacher.

Oh, yeah. No.

I mean, no offense, Reverend,

but that-that is so not
what I had in mind.

Well, I think it's a great idea.

And you know who also thinks so?

Big guy in the sky?

That's correct, George.
Big guy in the sky.

Yeah, I was afraid of that.

Yeah, and now that Harley has
gotten a hit in the actual game,

he's telling the coach
to call him Little Papi.

- That is so cute.
- I know.

How-How's, uh, everything
else going? How's work?

It's good. We're starting
our unit on geology,

which is my favorite
time of year.

That is awesome.

How is Wade? How are
things going there?

Why are you asking?

You don't usually.
Did he say something?

No! No.

Okay, well, he might
have mentioned

that you hadn't called him back.

Yeah.

I've sort of been avoiding him.

What? Why?

The other night, Wade told me

that he thought Charles
was trying to get me back.

So Wade was jealous.

You can't punish him for that.

But the thing is,
Wade was right.

Charles does want you back?

But what about you?
How do you feel?

Confused.

Charles and I had nearly
15 happy years together.

He's the father of my child.

But he left,
and now there's Wade, who...

He's amazing, and...

And he cares about you a lot.

I know.

Promise me you won't
tell him, okay?

Okay.

But you have to.

I will.

Just as soon as I decide
what to tell him.

Hey, Doc. Just doing a bit
of tree-trimming.

Sorry I scared you.

No, no, not scared.
See you later.

Uh, you know,
I stopped by last night.

You-you didn't answer.

Oh, I fell asleep early.

- At 8:30?
- Yeah, I was exhausted.

Or you're avoiding me.

What?! Why would I do that?

I don't know.

'Cause Vivian told you something
yesterday.

Something you're reluctant
to repeat.

Funny thing, I didn't even
see Vivian yesterday.

There was a huge,
exhausting medical emergency,

which is why I
fell asleep early,

which explains everything. Bye.

Okay, uh, Lavon, you'll do
your mayoral champagne toast,

applause, applause, applause.

Then I will

introduce the Belles,

who will then sing
an original number.

Why are they late to rehearsal?

I don't stand for divas.

Crickett texted me.
They're on their way.

Update.

We have arrived!

- Where are the rest of 'em?
- Ladies,

might I remind y'all that
rehearsal is mandatory?

Oh. Oh, we're not here
to rehearse.

♪ You showed up drunk
on A.B.'s door ♪

♪ You basically called her
Gainey's whore ♪

♪ Well, you won't get away
with that no more ♪

♪ So there'll be no Belles

♪ At the Toast and Roast

♪ So suck it...

♪ Lavon

♪ Hayes.

O-Okay, uh,

d-don't worry about this.

Heh. I'll fix it.

That was just rude.

Mae?

Lemon.
What are you doing here?

Well... I was
worried about you, Mae.

When you came
to Fancie's earlier,

you weren't your usual self.

You were missing
your pep, your zest,

your joie de vivre,
so I brought pie.

Joie de vivre pie?

Is this about that A-minus?

It's not
the grade I care about.

It's the, uh... credibility

of the system.

What is that music?

That's the sound of
my broken dreams.

Not enough pie in the
world to fix 'em.

Oh, Mae, I knew
it must have been something.

Sweetie, tell me.

Well, I just spent
the last six months

rehearsing for a ballroom
dance competition tonight,

until my partner tore
his Achilles tendon.

I didn't want to win.

I just wanted to
compete, you know?

Like that character in that
movie who just wants to dance.

Black Swan?
The Company? Step Up?

Shall We Dance?
Step Up 2?

Dance With Me? Take the Lead?
Strictly Ballroom?

- Silver Linings Playbook?
- Third one, I think.

♪What if I told you

that I happen to know
an excellent ballroom dancer

who's available this evening?

I guess... I would
have to ask...

does he have good hygiene?

I mean, once a health inspector,
always a health inspector.

As a matter of fact,
he is a doctor.

I know this medication
is helping me,

but I think
it's making me crazy.

One second, I'm so happy.

I look at Tom,
I love him so much.

The next,

I see his eyebrows,
and they are so bushy.

I want to tear those eyebrows
out, like rip them off his face!

But moodiness is a common
side effect of Clomiphene.

Now the good news:

it is working!

You are officially ovulating.

So you and Tom need to start
trying to make

a baby tonight.

Bushy eyebrows or not.

Hey.

AnnaBeth, could you do me a small favor?
If Wade happens to ask,

can you say there was a medical
emergency yesterday afternoon?

You want me to lie to Wade?

Exactly. Also,
if he calls or drops by,

can you tell him that
I'm in with a patient?

Also a lie. Wanda's
the only patient

on the books, and she
is already in with Brick.

What? Brick needs a consult?
I'll be right in.

Oh, hey, Wade.

I hope you're not sick,
'cause sadly,

there's a situation
with a patient.

Brick and I are probably gonna
be in with her a-all morning.

A-All day.
Maybe into night.

Did you hear about that big
medical emergency yesterday?

Because, boy, it was very big,

very...

medical.

Hmm.

- Dr. Hart, what are...what are you?
- Oh, well,

Wanda's my patient, too,

and I also care about
her future offspring.

How is the Clomiphene going?

- It's making me crazy, but it's working.
- Yeah. - Hey,

that's great! Now, now, I'm
just gonna let Wanda go home

and get ready
for baby-making tonight.

Home? No.
We should talk first.

Have a nice long talk,

you know,
about positions and timing,

getting Tom to relax,
getting him in the mood.

What? You think I can't
get Tom in the mood?

Well, I most certainly can!

Why do you think I can't?
No. Nothing. No reason.

Good! 'Cause I can!

Thank you for your
input, Dr. Hart.

That was very helpful.

Yes, Sergeant Jeffries
was bitten by an anaconda.

- Hmm.
- But luckily, Dr. Hart

- was there to stitch him up.
- Oh.

Anacondas?

In BlueBell?

What kind of place is this
to raise a child?!

Hey,

Doc.

You know, AnnaBeth was actually

just telling me
about the big emergency.

See, I didn't realize

we've got anacondas
here in Alabama.

Uh, that's right, we don't.

It must have escaped
from the zoo.

That explains it!
Very likely story.

Thank you, AnnaBeth.

I can't tell you.

Zoe, please,
you've got to tell me.

LulaBelle, why
don't you tell George

about your summer working as a
counselor at Bible camp? Oh, wow.

Wow, Sunday school teacher all
year round, and Bible camp

in the summer--
that is so, uh...

"Devout" is the word
that you're looking for.

That is. That is the word

I was looking for.
George also

spent a summer working in
Bible camp. Didn't you?

I did. I did.

I also found it to be extremely

enlightening and,
uh, and-and whatnot.

Hey, here's an idea.
Why don't you two kids

go out for a nice dinner
and share war stories?

Yeah! You
talk it over.

The reverend is gonna help
me make another pot of tea.

No, sweetheart,
you don't need two people

to make a pot of...

Yes, you do need two people.

So...

Uh, so, about tonight...

Pick me up at 7:00.
Drop me off around the corner.

I'll tell the Mayfairs we
went for burgers and bowling.

No one'll be the wiser.

Are you blowing me off? No
offense, but anyone who thought

Bible camp was "enlightening"
just is not my type. - Well,

uh, I am sitting here,
having tea and crumpets

with the reverend and his wife.

What exactly
would you like me to say?

So you lied
to a man of the cloth

in his own home,
over his own tea and crumpets?

I am a little bit more
complicated than I seem.

We'll have to see about that.

I was gonna try this new club

in Montgomery tonight.
You want to join?

You know, I am looking
for a distraction,

so yes, why the hell not?

Vivian's my cousin,

Wade-- I promised.

But you want to tell me.

I can see that.

- Yes.
- So if you can't speak,

maybe you can... blink.

All right? Like, one blink
for no, two blinks for yes.

Why aren't you saying anything?
You in or out?

Well, I was blinking.
I just blinked twice.

Oh. Oh, oh, all right.

So... was I right?

Is Charles trying
to win Vivian back?

And is...
is she considering him?

You got something
in your eye, Doc?

Wade, where are you going?

Lavon.

Look, I-I get that
you're still mad at me

and it's probably
gonna take a while

for you to forgive me,
if ever. That's fair.

But considering how small
this town is, could you try

and resist turning the Belles
against me, too?

I'm sorry,
you think I did what now?

The Belles dropped out
of the Mayoral Toast and Roast.

You're the leader of the Belles.

Oh, my God.

You'd think a couple of days
could go by without you

blindly accusing me of
sabotaging the town of BlueBell?

I see.

So this is not you punishing me?

No. You did that
all on your own,

with your ridiculous
and childish

and very un-mayoral behavior.

Okay, you know what?

I came here to apologize, again.

Try and make peace.

Forget it.

Yeah, you know what?
The-the Mayoral

Toast and Roast will-will do
just fine without the Belles.

Yeah, we will sell
plenty of tickets

without your dumb song.

Oh! Well, that is
really good to hear,

because the Belles
are about to be

very busy preparing
for a new tradition.

The first ever annual

Head-of-the-Belles
Toast and Roast.

What?

But there is no...

Oh, you can't do that.

Oh, I just did.
Oh, and guess what.

It happens to be
on the same night.

- Oh!
- See you, Lavon.

Of course.

Zoe told you.

Yeah.

- Wade... I'm so sorry.
- No, let me

talk first, all right?
I got something to say.

I get what being

with Charles means, all right?

You got a son
and you got history.

But you and me, w-we got
something real right now.

And I'm not gonna stand by and
let him take you away from me.

I-I can't do that.

That is the most...

romantic thing I've ever heard.

Well, hello there, Doc.

You're up early.

It is a glorious day,

- is it not?
- Where have you been?

Well, a gentleman
doesn't kiss and tell.

- But because I am no gentleman...
- Hmm.

I was at Vivian's.

- Oh, really? So you talked?
- Mm-hmm.

Put it all on the line. Told her I
wouldn't give up without a fight.

And then she
took me in her arms...

like in one of those
movies you like so much.

- Wade, that's amazing.
- Well,

the better man won.
Well, so when's

she gonna talk to Charles? I don't know.
I don't care.

But she did say she
was gonna talk to him?

Well, I mean, not in so many words.
But it was

strongly implied
by her lack of clothing.

- Hmm?
- Okay.

Look, we had
an incredible night last night.

And if you're saying

that... I mean, after we...

and...

th-th-that she
would choose him...

W... I'm not saying anything.

Look, I just hope that you're
not jumping to conclusions,

hearing things that
weren't actually said.

Look, I-I don't want to put you
in an awkward position,

but maybe you could, uh...
you can just talk to her.

All right?
Put in a good word for me.

- She trusts you.
- Okay.

Zoe Hart! All right!
Hey, you want to head over

to Lavon's? If he's
making waffles,

I'm buying.

All right, well,
let's do it. Come on.

I got your little mag here.

It's a newspaper! A newspaper, Wade.
Oh, yeah.

Without the Belles,
this Toast and Roast is toast.

If they're putting on
their own show,

who's gonna want to watch us?

I don't even know
what we're doing here.

I got 19 episodes
of Chicago Fire

burning up my DVR.

We all done crying in our soup?

Oh, come on, Lavon,
you got to admit,

things are looking mighty bleak.

No. No, I don't.

And you know why?

'Cause I'm talking
to the BlueBell Owls.

Okay, look, maybe

our legs won't look as good
in a cancan line

as the Belles.

But we got something else.

It's gonna be that kind of show?

Like a Full Monty typething?

What? No!

Look, I'm talking
about what we got right here.

I am sitting here

with the most talented
musical men of this generation.

Now, who's with me?

I don't know, Lavon.

Stanley.

I saw you channel Fred Astaire
in Shelby's cabaret.

Oh, yeah, he did, yeah. Huh?
At least from the knees down.

And, Frank, Bill, Wally,

y'all harmonize

like the best barbershop
quartet,

and there's only three of you.

- Yeah, that's true.
- Huh?

That's true.

And, Reverend,

well, if Jazz Hands ain't
your middle name,

it ought to be.

Aw, stop it. - Yeah.

Come on. Give me a hoot.

Hoot!

- Hoot!
- Hoot!

Yeah!

One, two, three, four.

And then Tom Long's

spotlight hits Lavon!

Whoa. Speaking of Tom Long,
there's no show without lights.

Shouldn't he be here?

There's no show without Tom.

He's got the only
lighting system in town!

He's the only one
who understands the light board!

We have to get Tom Long!
We have to find Tom Long!

Wait a minute. I disagree. I
think my life is very complete.

Oh, really?

Well, that's odd because
you spent the entire weekend

listening to Don Todd's
biography on tape,

after the previous weekend in
which you read it to yourself.

Well, it is a different story

when the man himself
reads it to you.

Look, the point is, this is

a questionable way to get
your restaurant reinspected.

You wasted no time in finding your dance
shoes, which were conveniently located

by your bedside
next to a CD player

full of rumba classics.

Mae! Come on in.

Daddy, just be nice.
Please. That's all I ask.

I know I'm early,

but I figure we only have
a few hours to rehearse.

Mae, this is my daddy, Brick.

Daddy, this is
Mae Ellen Waterloo,

your dance partner for this evening.
Wow.

That is a spectacular gown.

- And you are exactly the right height.
- Oh.

This is...

a dream come true.

How's your feather step?

Well, in a hyphenated word,

award-winning.

Oh. Good.

Oh, there she is,

the Edward Snowden
of family secrets.

I am so sorry.

Come in.

Zoe, I-I put you
in a terrible position.

I don't blame you at all.

What is going on?

As you may have heard,
Wade and I had the most

incredible night.
And he was...

romantic and strong...

I don't...
I don't need the details.

But that is great.
Yay, Wade! Right?

But this morning
Charles came by.

And he got a job offer

in Baton Rouge.

He wants to move.

Wow.

Wait, Charles is going
to Baton Rouge?

That's gonna be hard on Harley.

Oh, no, no.
Zoe, you don't understand.

This is a huge job.

He wants all of us to move.

Charles thinks that this...

could be our clean slate,

a fresh start.

But, Vivian, you don't love
Charles anymore.

I mean, you've moved on.

But here's the thing.
Uh, the other night,

when he told me
that he still had feelings,

he...
kissed me.

And I kind of...

I kissed him back.

Oh, Vivian.
I know. But we were high school sweethearts

and he was my husband.

We have a child together.

Those feelings
just don't go away.

But what about Wade? You know?

He's a good guy. He deserves...

Excuse me.

Hey, Winifred, what's up?

Oh, my God.

No, no. Yeah,
I-I'll be right there.

Harley fell off the jungle gym.
He may have a broken arm.

I'll drive.

Psst, Tom.

Mayor Hayes?

I've been leaving you messages,
man.

I turned my phone off.
I have a big night ahead of me.

Wanda says cellular devices
transmit stress.

I am not to be stressed.
O-Okay,

but I need to talk to you
about doing the lights

for the Mayoral Toast and Roast.

Turns out, through a quirk
in the calendar,

the Belles' show is the exact
same night as the Owls'.

Oh, that's gonna put me
in an uncomfortable position.

You know how everybody loves
your lighting design.

We are willing to give you

above-the-title credits.

"Tom Long presents the Head
of the Belles Dinner."

They're talking about making you
an honorary Owl.

For life.
U-Unlimited babysitting

for baby goats or any humans
that come along.

You know, I-I'll be okay.

But the rest of the guys will be
very disappointed if you say no.

Very disappointed.

I don't want to upset anyone.
Well,

then you know what to do.
Because the Belles

would consider it the mother of all
slaps in the face. So what do you say?

I need an answer, Tom!

I-I need some time
I need some time

to think about it.
to think about it.

Dr. Kravitz, you have a visitor

in the main lobby.

Harley, sweetie,

are you okay, baby?

Mommy, I fell.

I feel horrible.
I looked away for one second.

It's not your fault.
Things happen.

Buddy, you okay?

Daddy, my arm hurts. My face

- is bleeding.
- Okay, big guy.

We're gonna sew up
that chin and take

some cool pictures of thinside

of your arm.
I know what an X ray is.

Good for you.

Mom, Dad, one of you want
to come be my assistant?

Big finish!

Oh, you just...

We're actually good.
It was like

riding a bicycle.

Oh, Mae, you know,
if-if I can survive the evening,

we may do some damage
at this contest.

My gosh.

Oh, I better get that.

Uh, don't forget to hydrate.

Okay.

Well? Someone has got

her sparkle back. Now, that
is the Mae I remember.

Y'all are gonna set
that dance floor on fire.

Yeah, well, hold that thought.
Oh, no.

Mae, I am so sorry
to do this to you. That was

a medical emergency, and I...
I have to attend to it.

But you... you do such
a beautiful box step.

I-I do wish I could god

'cause I think we could kick
some serious ballroom butt.

Unfortunately,

duty calls.

That stinks.

Don't despair, Mae.

I have an idea.

Tom?

Tom, I got your message.

Tom.

Where are you, man?

Oh, I don't believe this.

Let me guess.
Y-You got a text from Tom,

and it said he had come
to a decision

regarding the lights and...

We should rendezvous at the
gazebo? Yep. Same text.

I think someone's messing
with us.

Good guess, Sherlock.

Wanda?

Yep. Just Wanda.

Disappointing, huh?

How does it feel to show
up somewhere with such

high hopes only to find out

you're not gettin'
what you expected?

Wanda, what's going on?

Are you wearing fishnets? Yes, I am!
'Cause tonight's

a big night for me and Tom,

a big, big, big night,

which is why Tom was relaxing

until you two ding-dongs undid
all my doing.

And, hello,
now Tom's so stressed

about who he's supposed to help,
he can't... perform.

Well, guess what.

If he can't perform,

you don't perform.

- It was his fault!
- It's her fault!

Do I look like I care?

Shut up

and come fix my husband!

Oh...

Hey.

I spoke to the radiologist,

and Harley's arm isn't broken.

Oh, thank God.

Uh, look,

I get how it must look to you.

Okay? I'm the dad
who left his family

and now I want back in.

Look, I don't know you.

But I care about Vivian
and I care about Wade.

And you can't keep just playing

- with people's feelings like this.
- No,

I'm not playing.

I've never been more serious
about anything.

Vivian, she's my true love.

All right? All I want to do
is make her remember

how good things were
and can be again.

And I know you and Wade
are close.

And he's a good guy.

But we're a family
and we deserve another chance.

Oh, hey.

That's right.
I bought a guilt gift.

And I bought doughnuts.

What's going on with you two?

Nothing.

No.

Come on. Let's sit.

Lemon?

I think I'm gonna go.

Tell your dad thanks for trying.

Wait!

That is so sweet.

I don't think
it'll work, though.

I mean, neither one of us
knows how to lead.

Oh, honey, speak for yourself.

Dr. Kravitz, you
have a visitor in the main lobby.

Daddy, I had stitches!

Oh. Come here,
my brave guy.

Oh!

Just glad you're all right.

I love you.

I love you, too.

My, don't forget about me.

Yeah. Let me
see. Lift up?

- Yeah.
- That hurt?

No, not anymore.

Oh, real tough guy.

- Huh?
- Very.

We got to get him
back out on the diamond.

- You should see him hit a ball...
- Maybe let's not...

Are you okay?

Oh, yeah.

Could you just...
tell them that I had to go?

Amazingness.

Kicked out of two
clubs in one night.

Yeah, see,
that's gonna happen when

you insist on calling a bouncer
"Tiny" repeatedly.

That's...

Bouncers-- you know, just
no appreciation for irony.

At all. None.

Tequila makes me hungry.

Where can a girl get a snack?

Well, miss, it is
your lucky night,

because I happen
to know a gentleman

who owns half a restaurant.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Come on.

I just don't know what to do.

I mean, it's right
there in the Bible.

"Let there be light." But it
doesn't say who gets the light.

Lavon, A.B.-- they're both
my friends, but I don't...

Tom. Tom, Tom,
you are babbling again.

Now, think about
the calming ocean

and waves lapping on the shore.

Can you hear that?

I do. I do.
Of course, now I have

- to pee.
- Oh.

Look at him!
Look at what y'all did!

- Wanda, yelling is counterproductive.
- Sorry.

It's not me. It's
my ovaries yelling.

- Hey, buddy.
- How we doing?

Work faster!

Okay, uh, listen to me, Tom.

I don't want you to worry
about the lights anymore, okay?

- Go and do the Belle Show.
- No, no, do the Owl show.

Another choice?

What if maybe...

We combine our shows

and-and we do 'em together?

Maybe we do them outside

during the day, and we won't

even need lights at all!

So, now you don't
want my lights?

- Okay.
- No, no, no.

We love... we love
your lights. Um, we just...

We don't want you
to be concerned.

Right. The only spotlight

you should be worried
about is the one

that you're gonna
use... to make a baby.

What?

Ew, Lavon.

No. That worked.

Okay, good enough for me.

I love y'all, but everybody out!

Oh.

Now!

You know I love you.

I do. I... Mm.

Mmm.

Out!

Ah!

Ah!

Seventh place!

It's a miracle.

I know.

Oh, Lemon,

I can't thank you enough.

Tonight has been

a dream come true.

I only hope one day
I can return the favor.

Well,

now that you mention it,
you could reinspect Fancie's.

Sure. Let's do it.

Really? But it's after midnight.

I'll never be in a happier mood.

Well... let's go.

Okay, come on.

Hey.

Hey, Doc. Where you been?

The hospital.

Harley fell off the jungle gym.

But he's okay.
He just needed some stitches.

Geez Louise, poor kid.

Uh, you know, I should...
I should call Viv.

You know what? They're...
They're probably exhausted.

Right. Yeah, yeah.

Hey, uh, did you...
did you have a chance

to put in a word for me?

- I didn't.
- Okay, well, uh,

no rush, I guess.

Actually, Wade, I don't think
there's much of a point.

What do you mean?

Okay, look,

I'm your friend,

so that's why I think
this should come from me.

I don't see this
turning out for you.

Charles and Vivian
are getting back together.

No.

No, I me...Viv-Viv and I--
we-we have... we have something.

We have something real.

No, I-I'm sure you do.

Just, Charles is moving away,

and eventually
Vivian's going to go with him.

You know, Wade, I saw them
all together tonight...

Wow. You know, uh,

on second thought, Zoe,

I... I don't think
I need your help anymore.

Excuse me.

Wade.

- It already looks great.
- Oh.

No condiments left on
the tables, unrefrigerated.

What was that?

Sounds like some kind of animal.

No, trust me, there are
no animals in this restaurant.

You're gonna get it now.

Stop it! Get away! Don't do it!

Oh, you are gonna get it now.

If you do it,
I'm gonna get you back then.

I'm gonna get you.
You are gonna get it.

You are gonna get it.
I am. Watch this.

- Are you kidding me?
- No, I'm not. Stop.

You are gonna get it.

I'm gonna get you.

I stand corrected.

Whipped cream, anyone?

Dr. Breeland, Wanda and
I just wanted to say

thank you for your
help last night.

Well, it's not
your typical house call,

but I am here to serve.

The visualizing
helped quite a bit.

This mind is a
very powerful tool.

Very powerful.

Dr. Breeland doesn't want

to hear about your tools
over breakfast.

Anyway, hope to be
seeing a lot more of you

in the next nine months.

Fingers crossed.

Hmm.

Uh, look, A.B., I know I
apologized about being a jackass

about your new boyfriend,
but I also know

that I wouldn't have
accepted my apology either.

I stepped over the line.

I wish I hadn't.

But I-I hope that we
can be friends again.

I guess we kind of have to,

if only for the sake
of the town, right?

LulaBelle tells me she had
a great time last night.

She also said y'all managed
to get in some Bible study.

Is that true?

She wouldn't lie
to a man of the cloth.

Would she? We-we had a...
a great time,

and I wanted to thank you
for the introduction. - Mm.

'Cause, as it turns out,
a-a little bit of, uh,

Bible study is-is
all I needed.

Well, that's a good thing,

'cause that sheep
you were talking about?

- She's...
- baaack!

Our new health inspection
report came in.

You want to guess what we got?

We got a "C," George!

A "C" for health, thanks

to you and your culinary
debauchery in the kitchen!

I had to sweet-talk
her out of an "F"!

Well, that's... I mean,
well, that's good news.

Silver linings.

Oh, you think
that this is funny?!

- No.
- Then why are you smiling?

Because I...

I am highly annoyed
with you right now.

That's all I am feeling

is a... is a very high level
of annoyance.

La-dee-dee-da and
happy day for you.

George, you own that "C""
That "C" is all your fault.

And you better start thinking

about how you're gonna
raise that grade.

Will do, Lemon. I got it.

George, where are you going?

I am not done with you yet.

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Didn't Vivian call you?

Yeah, she left a
message, said to call.

I figured I'd just
stop by in person.

Oh, God.

Hey, Viv?

Wade, Vivian--

she went away for the
weekend... with Charles.

They're looking for
houses in Baton Rouge,

and I'm watching Harley
while she's gone.

Went out of town with Charles?

No. No way. I don't believe you.

I'm so sorry.

You're sorry?

You could have stopped this.
She would have listened to you.

That is not fair, Wade.

What was I supposed to do?

One favor, Zoe.

I asked you one favor.

After everything
we've been through.

But I saw
what you were up against,

and it wouldn't have worked.

No, no, that wasn't
your call to make!

Shh.

Hey, Wade.

Hey.

Hey,

little buddy.

Uh... wow.

Look at those stitches.

I, uh... I got you something.

Whoa!

It's just like yours?

Yeah, remote control and
everything. Hope you like it.

Awesome. Thank you.

Hey,

did you hear?

We're moving to Baton Rouge.

Wow.

Yeah. Yeah,
you know, that's...

that's a great place.

I think you'll really like it.

Yeah.

Um... you know,

I should... I should...
I should get going.

So, uh,

I'll see you later, all right?

- All right.
- All right.

Yeah.
