Hart of Dixie (2011–2015): Season 4, Episode 9 - End of Days - full transcript
Wade and Zoe have different opinions on marriage; George gets a potentially life-changing offer.
I just can not wait any longer. I love you.
- Take it you two are an item now.
- Yes, we are.
Yay! That is so great!
What is this? Harley made that
for me when I was a little girl.
- I thought you might like it.
- Did you really mean what you
said about me and music managing?
Oh, yeah. I am so proud of you.
I'm kind of sort of falling
for you AnnaBeth Nass.
Hello?
Who's there?
AnnaBeth Nass.
God?
It is I, Cyrus Lavinius
Jeremiah Jones.
The founder of Bluebell is in my bedroom?
I come with a warning.
At midnight tomorrow,
life as you know it will end forever.
There will be five omens.
Oh. Five... Ow! Omens. Okay.
Pay attention!
Hey!
A flood will smite a foe.
A former couple will say "N.O."
A chicken will be sent to bed.
- A city street will run blood red.
- Oh no.
Darkness will replace the light.
Life as you know it ends... tonight.
Well, that's a nice poem,
but I don't really believe...
Believe, AnnaBeth!
Now, repeat after me.
A flood will smite a foe.
A flood will smite a foe.
Wow.
That is a very strange
and oddly specific dream.
- Mm.
- What do you think it means?
I think it means I should lay
off the spicy shrimp at Fancie's.
But... what if it really is a warning?
A warning? You need to stop watching
that Russell Crowe Bible
movie on demand, my friend.
Oh, I am late for brunch.
Are you sure you can't join?
Wait. You're really going to brunch
on our potential last day on Earth?
Have you met me? What better
way to spend it than brunch?
But, honey, it was just a dream.
I only told you 'cause
I thought it was funny.
- Right.
- Ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Ha.
- A toast.
To this monumental day.
- To us finally enjoying a meal together.
- To getting drunk before noon.
Amazing pancakes.
Who would have thunk it, huh?
Yeah, all of us in happy couples.
Yeah. You with his ex, you with his.
Me with her, you okay with it.
And no tension. No fighting.
Yes, it just seems like only yesterday
that Lemon was holding Zoe hostage
after Zoe ruined her wedding to George.
And now we're pals! Nearly pals.
And we have so many more
brunches ahead of us.
- Yeah.
- Hear! Hear! Yes!
All right, I can do that.
And dinners and picnics and football games
and birthday parties, and
our kids playing together
in the sandboxes. It's gonna be so awesome!
- Okay, take it easy there, Lemon.
- Okay, all right.
To the future.
To the future.
What a wonderful nursery.
Beautiful! Warm and loving.
Well, thank you. I renovated it myself.
Hey, I helped.
Watched. I watched you.
Yeah, there we go.
You are so adorable.
You know, I love my Joel,
but I always thought the two of you
- were meant to be.
- You could feel the sparks.
Yeah, burnt me in the eye a couple times.
Very funny.
So how is life in New York?
Wonderful! Every day's a new adventure.
- Museums...
- I can barely keep up with this one.
Marrying her was the
smartest thing I ever did.
Aw.
All right, get a room.
Aw.
- What about you?
- What about us?
Uh, when are you guys tying the knot?
Yeah, you're starting a family.
I'm sure the topic's come up.
Well, it came up, and this one
promptly fled the damn state.
Zoom! Like the Road Runner.
To be fair, my timing wasn't, uh, ideal.
W-But you're planning to get
married at some point, right?
- Yeah, of course, eventually.
- Nah, we don't believe in marriage.
You don't believe in marriage?!
Don't you think somehow
this is maybe something
you should have mentioned?
Well, I thought that we
were on the same page.
You know, the page that
agrees marriage is stupid.
Stupid?
You guys do realize
we're standing right here?
Yeah, well, I'm upset,
and I needed a snack.
Did you know this? She
doesn't believe in marriage?
Sure. It's one of her go-to rants.
But she has so many.
"There's a West Virginia, there
should be an East Virginia."
Marriage is paternalistic. It
is rooted in the dowry system.
You know, fathers selling off their
daughters in exchange for some...
- Some cows.
- Wha...?
This isn't familiar to you?
No! No, somehow in four years
of knowing this woman,
this particular quirk
has never been covered.
What else are you hiding from me?
You even a doctor?
You got married to Tansy
after three weeks, while drunk.
Okay? Since when do you
even care about this stuff?
Since I met you.
Aw.
Zoe, you have to admit,
that was pretty sweet.
If you don't marry him, I will.
All right, buddy, that's it.
George, I just don't get why
you can't come with me now.
I'm your most important client,
and I'm scared and needy.
I have a case that I got to wrap up, and
as soon as I'm done, I will come, okay?
Text me when you're on the road.
You're gonna be great, Meatball.
You're gonna be the best
act in that showcase.
- Mm.
- Hell, yeah, I am.
Those people are about to get Meatballed.
Hard... in the face!
- Huh.
- Ah.
Okay.
Okay. Oh! Be safe!
Ah. You sure you're
okay if I skip this one?
Of course, baby. You have been so
supportive of this entire process.
- Oh.
- And, well, I think it's time
that we let some other
people experience the, uh...
- Meatballing?
- Yeah, he has really got to stop
- saying that.
- Yes, he does.
You've been awfully quiet
today. What's going on?
Oh, it's silly.
AB had this dream prophesying
the end of the world.
- It's got me rattled.
- Come on.
You know dreams are just someone's
subconscious working stuff out.
Doesn't mean anything.
Of course. You're right. Thank
you for being the sensible one.
Oh, shoot.
There's a water main break in Fillmore.
All local fire departments
are being called in
to deal with it. I got to go.
- Oh.
- I'll text you later, okay, babe?
Okay. Bye.
Oh, Dash!
"Foe" means enemy, right?
Well, uh... well, yes. Why?
A flood will smite a foe!
Oh!
Uh-huh.
You know, I can't believe Wade
and Zoe never had a conversation
about something that important.
I know.
Lavon, just to be clear,
so we avoid similar
bickering down the line, I...
Now, Lemon Breeland,
it's not even a question.
Nothing would make me happier
than to marry you someday.
Okay, but there's no rush,
because we've only been
together a month, so...
Absolutely. We got all
the time in the world.
Yeah, well, I wouldn't be so sure.
Crickett, it was just
a dream, nothing more.
And you know that there's
no such things as omens.
Oh, so it was just a coincidence
that our foe happened to be flooded today?
Yeah, sure. Water mains
break all the time in Alabama.
So when did the last one break?
If you'll excuse me.
So, since it's our last day on Earth,
shall I grill up that
salmon tonight for dinner?
Welcome. Welcome, Brick!
Aah! Ooh!
Oh, easy, easy now. Oh.
What the hell?
Hang gliding injury. We
should have strapped him in.
You mean you went hang gliding
without a safety harness?
What the hell were you thinking?
Doc, we had a roof, a couple trash bags,
an aluminum arm chair,
bunch of duct tape and a dream.
And a whole lot of beers.
We're ticking things off our bucket list.
Oh, I know what this
tomfoolery is all about.
You-you knuckleheads heard
about AnnaBeth's silly
end-of-the-world dream, now, didn't you?
Hold the phone!
You're saying the world's ending?!
We had no idea that was happening!
Oh, we got to get through
that bucket list fast.
After the doc heals up Chicken,
we're gonna go confront that bear
- that's been giving us dirty looks.
- Yeah.
And I'm gonna learn how to read!
A chicken will be
sent to bed, a city
street will run blood red.
- Red?! You mean, red with blood?
- Like in The Shining?
Darkness will replace the light.
Life as you know it ends tonight.
- I haven't lived!
- I always wanted to go to Vegas!
Oh, dear.
AnnaBeth, do you think this was a prophecy?
Are we gonna die?
'Cause if so, I got to
cancel my hair appointment.
A reaction to Fancie's spicy shrimp.
Yes.
- We use a lot of paprika.
- Mm-hmm.
Guess we-we just gonna have to
- wait and see. Yeah!
- We die, we know who to blame.
- Oh.
- You guys.
Okay.
Crickett, what were you thinking?!
Whipping the Pritchetts
all up into a lather?!
I was trying to give them
the chance to make amends
before, poof, we can't!
It is not the end of the world, Crickett.
Maybe not, but AB's
dream was a wake-up call.
It's time to make amends
before it's too late.
And you know who I can't
stop thinking about?
Who?
Smelly Marjorie.
Oh. Smelly Marjorie.
We were not nice to her
in high school, not at all.
Wait. Was she the one that we kicked
off the cheerleading squad for her...?
Peculiar odor, yes.
I've always felt guilty
about Smelly Marjorie.
I heard she works at the
Pensacola Philharmonic.
- Let's go.
- You know what?
I don't believe one iota of
this whole dream nonsense,
but we should apologize to Smelly Marjorie,
and why not today?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, we should probably
stop calling her that first.
I thought all women wanted to get married.
Thought they pranced around
their bedrooms with blankets
on their head, pretending
it was their wedding day.
Not your girl.
I'm having an out-of-body experience here.
Me, Wade Kinsella,
tore up 'cause some woman
doesn't want to marry me.
Maybe I have pregnancy hormones.
Wait. Is that possible?
'Cause I might have them, too.
You know, I've been getting real weepy
over dog food commercials lately.
- Hey, maybe I should get a dog.
- Lavon. Oh.
There is a serious situation
you need to take care of.
See, last night, AnnaBeth had
- a dream...
- A flood
will smite a foe!
A former couple will say...
N.O.!
I already heard about AnnaBeth's
big omen... dream, and I'm-I'm not worried.
The Pritchetts are like Henny
Penny and Chicken Little.
Well, I-I think Henny Penny is
Chicken Little. It's the same story.
Who's Henny Penny and Chicken Little?
Okay, look, the point is
that people in this town
are too sensible to fall for this nonsense.
And then we're all gonna die!
- That doesn't even make any sense.
- None of that could possibly happen.
Other people's dreams are
so boring.
Haven't you two got any common sense?
Mm-hmm.
Well, the Truitt brothers believe it.
They've been in my office five times.
Hang gliding, uh,
ice dancing inside the freezer,
drinking pop rocks and moonshine.
Look, everything's gonna be fine.
Just have a little faith in Bluebell.
I'll see you later.
Can I get you a final beer?
Stupid!
Hey!
Can I offer you a ride, sir?
Well, I have a strict policy
against strangers chopping
me up into a million pieces.
Oh, yeah? Well, if it helps,
I'm a doctor, not an ax murderer.
Wow.
- That was a long time ago, wasn't it?
- Yeah.
What are you doing all the way out here?
I had to pick up some new blood
pressure monitors in Biloxi. Get in.
Oh, no, no, no, no. I... You know what,
I was just gonna call Tom. I got
a long trip ahead of me, so...
Dude, all that's waiting for me in Bluebell
is the Truitts' bucket list
and a very angry boyfriend.
- I'll fill you in on the way.
- All right.
- But where we going?
- Uh, New Orleans, actually.
Oh, you are kidding.
- No.
- Okay.
But on the way,
you're gonna have to
help me figure out a way
to get Wade to not want to marry me.
Uh...
Oh, and also I'm gonna
want to stop for beignets.
And I have to pee a bunch.
Also, I have veto power
- over the radio.
- Wow.
I do not know why Wade would
want to actually marry you
right now... you are very demanding lately.
- Hi, Zoe.
- Hey, Wade. Still mad?
Mad? No. Frustrated? Yes.
Well, I'm gonna give you
some time to get over that
because I'm gonna drive
George to Meatball's show.
In New Orleans?
Yes, but I'll be back tonight
and we can talk then, okay?
You just need to tell Brick
he needs to cover for me.
Oh, she's not coming back today, is she?
Yeah. Brick and I will
be here, getting used to a
very different future
than the one we expected.
Look, tell Meatball I said "break a leg",
all right? And text me when
you're on your way back.
Love you.
I love you, too. Bye.
Oh, fudge sticks up a fudge tree!
Uh, o-ow. Ha. Uh, watch your language.
Well, I am sorry, but my...
fellow town doctor's just
leaving me alone all day
so she can skip off to New
Orleans with George Tucker.
Dr. Hart and George Tucker are
going to New Orleans together?
A former couple will say N.O.
No, no. I-I didn't mean...
Look, Zoe and George were never
actually a couple. Believe me.
I have firsthand
knowledge of the situation.
They are as much a couple
as any star-crossed pair.
Wait, that means the
second omen has landed.
We're gonna die!
I'm gonna lock up my
store in case of looting.
Citizens of Bluebell, our beloved founder,
Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones,
came to AnnaBeth Nass in a dream.
And I'm sure he chose her for a reason.
A good reason. And I'm not hurt
about it, not even a little. I...
Tom, focus. End of times.
Sorry. CLJ-squared foretold five omens
to signal the end at midnight tonight.
It's chaos. There's gonna
be chaos, I'm warning you.
The Truitts pierced their
belly button with fishing hooks.
Brick, look, it doesn't look so bad.
It's just a few of the usual eccentrics
trying to create a spectacle.
The end is nigh!
Woo! Yeah, it is! Which is why
I will now break-dance atop the gazebo
'cause I have always wanted to do that!
Chicken! No, no, no!
Chicken! No, no, no! No,
Chicken, I already told you,
you need to go home and rest!
Dr. Breeland, you just
sent a Chicken to bed!
No, no. Wanda, no. I said...
I said he needed to rest.
- Well, where is he gonna rest?! Bed!
- The couch!
The-the couch is fine.
It's the third omen!
- That's not what I...
- That's it!
It's decided then!
I'm learning to kiteboard!
I'm gonna watch TV with my mom!
I'm gonna legally change my
name from Little Zach to Tank!
No one ever called
someone named Tank little!
I'm getting that tattoo I always
wanted but thought might hurt too much
and be bad judgment!
I'm finally gonna get
to do my one-man version
of the Three Tenors. I
call it the One Tenor!
I'm gonna cheat on my husband!
I fear this apocalypse
rumor might be a problem.
Oh, you think?
Wanda, let's set the alpacas free.
They deserve to know the taste of freedom.
First, let's do it in the gazebo!
- Oh...
- Mayor Hayes, we don't do something soon,
we're gonna have another Alien
Panic of '95 on our hands.
That was a dark day. My
office was overflowing.
Look Lavon, maybe you
should impose a curfew.
No. No, no. There is no
need to resort to a curfew.
But...
Attention, Bluebell!
Today is not the last day on Earth.
As the mayor, I assure you of that.
But it is a-a great day
for us all to-to be together and have fun.
As, uh, as a town.
- Yeah!
- Huh? So what say
we all get together tonight
at the Rammer Jammer!
We-we can watch, uh,
Dash's one-man opera thingy.
- You know, whatever it is.
- Hate Opera.
All food and drinks on me.
Yeah!
Marjorie?
Oh, my God, Marjorie! Hi!
- Sorry, do I know you?
- It's Crickett... Crickett Watts,
that's AnnaBeth Nass, Lemon Breeland.
- It's so good to see you.
- You look fantastic.
I love what you've done
with your hair. So cute.
Oh, you must remember us. Bluebell High?
Sorry. Now, if you'll excuse me...
We were in cheerleading together. Sort of.
- Crickett, maybe we should just...
- We are here to make amends.
Well, there's no need, since
I have no memory of you.
How could you forget? We were awful to you.
We sang that song.

Now! Get the hell out!
I...
Hey, there are a lot of people here.
Meatball must be pumped.
Oh, he's pretty much always pumped.
It's more about keeping
his enthusiasm at a level
that does not alarm people.
Did you order us
- Hurricanes?
- One virgin, one not.
I couldn't resist. I mean,
I haven't had one of these...
Since the last time we were here.
Feels like forever ago, doesn't it?
Yeah. It does.
You know, that night here with you,
that was the first time I ever imagined
an entirely different life for myself.
Pretty much changed my course forever.
Mine, too. You're welcome.
Thank you.
Also a big part of the reason I
called off my wedding to Lemon.
And I sought comfort with Wade.
It has been quite a journey, hasn't it?
It sure has, my friend.
And we both ended up exactly
where we were supposed to.
Absolutely.
Even if Wade stays annoyed with
me for the rest of our lives.
He'll get over it. He always does.

All right, ladies, here you are.

Hey, Wally, you're-you're a sensible guy.
You don't believe any
of this nonsense, right?
Nope, but it's the perfect
excuse to eat dessert first.
So keep the scoops coming.
Just the man we were looking for.
Hey, you two.
I thought you, uh, went back to Lillian.
We wanted to help you change Zoe's mind
about getting married.
I'll take all the advice I can get.
So we went to the library
and did some research
on contemporary attitudes
by reading ladies' magazines.
"Seven Ways to Get Him
to Put a Ring on It".
Number three was illuminating.
It was how Kim got Kanye to
make her his permanent bae.
Well, that is sweet. I just...
I can't take life advice
from the Kardashians.
Well, don't give up.
We certainly won't.
All right.

Well, thank you.
Maybe Meatball or the Truitts,
they really take off, you know?
This could be like a
whole new career for you.
Okay, okay, let's not get
ahead of ourselves here.

We had a verbal agreement.
Which, according to Hector
V. Sullivan, is binding
in the State of Louisiana.

Yeah, are you ready?!
Fine. Fine. He can go on. Three songs.
Five songs.
You're up next.
You are my hero. I love you.
If you ever need a kidney, you

Hi!
Remember me from the
Bluebell Bed & Breakfast?
Uh-huh. Sure I do!
Hi... you.
It's George, right?
Meatball's been gushing
about you for months,
and from what I just saw,
you are the real deal.
And I've got an idea.
You come work for me.
Work for you? I mean...
we just met, like, a second ago.
Doesn't matter. My gut's never wrong.
It's a magic gut.

Oh, Pamela. Ms. Bailey is my father.
Long story.
I am flattered, I really am,
but don't you want somebody
with a little more experience?
I mean, Meatball... well,
he's half my client list.
My last three managers had experience.
But you know what they didn't have?
Smarts, spark... passion.
I need someone who cares
more about making music
than the bottom line, and I got
a sense you know what I mean.
Uh... yeah.
So, can we stop talking,
and go pack our bags?
Um... well, I, uh...
George can't move to Nashville!
He's got a practice and friends
and an amazing girlfriend, and
brunches to have in Bluebell.
- Hey, Zoe, I can speak for myself.
- I'm sorry.
But everything she said
is... well, it's correct.
My whole life is in Bluebell.
And I've got Meatball,
and I've got the Truitts,
and I can't just abandon
them for someone else.
Okay, not to toot my own horn... but toot!
I'm a mega country star. I'm
offering you a whole new career.
Bluebell is... lovely, but

Whoo!

No. We must make amends tonight.
Haven't you gotten the Blawker alerts?
Three omens down.

- It's the right thing to do.
- Okay, well, you're going first,

- Mm-hmm.
Go.
Hi, Marjorie. Us again. I know you didn't
- remember us earlier...
- Of course
I remember you... how could I forget
the way you evil queen bees treated me?
Um, yes, I mean, once we were unkind...
Cruel. I mean, but we truly
feel terrible about that.
We've changed. We really have.
We are different people now.
You think I give a flying ferret's
patootie about how you've changed?
You sang that song in front
of the other cheerleaders.
In front of Peter Kemple, the boy I liked.
I had nightmares. I had to go to therapy.
And not only did you ruin my life,
but now you show up here at my house
and you ruin Top Chef night, too?!
Oh.
What kind of monsters are you!
Oh!
Oh, wait,
mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.
Well? Where is everybody?
I don't know.
They were supposed to be here an hour ago.
And it's not like the people of
Bluebell to pass up free food.
We've got a new plan.
- Oh, my...
- And it's a doozy.
We'll tell Zoe I'm dying and my
last wish is for her to get married.
- Well, a-are you okay?
- Yes!
I'm healthy as a horse.
A stallion.
Ew. Uh...
I appreciate it, guys, I really do,
but... I love Zoe,
and part of loving her is
dealing with her craziness.
So if she doesn't want to get married,
I just... I have to let that go.
But, uh, look, I appreciate all your
help. Could I get you a drink or something?
Oh, no. We can't stay.
A truck blew a tire, and a tub of red paint
fell out the back... which means...
A city street will run
blood red, of course.
Oh, it's more dark pink, but still...
Fourth omen.
We should get out there.
But you're my only...
I don't have a-a...
Oh...
that just made me feel so much worse.
So, so, so...
so much worse.
We're going to hell.
And sooner than later, because
the world is going to end
in a couple of hours.
- We are horrible, horrible people.
- No!
I mean, yes... we were horrible people,
but we are not those
mean cheerleaders anymore.
I mean, AnnaBeth, you are a
warm and generous, caring person.
You're gonna be a nurse, for Pete's sake.
Thank you.
And, Crickett, you are a
brave and generous woman.
I mean, you have turned the Belles
into a charitable and open institution.
Oh.
And, Lemon, you are...
definitely way less
scarier than you used to be.
Uh... thank you?
Oh!
I love you guys.
But if it is the end of the world,
I kind of want to be with Jaysene.
Fair enough. I'll drop you off.
We're talking the end of time here, people.
If ever there was a
time to YOLO, it is now.
Be sure to YOLO this evening.
Well, this ought to be
fun to clean up tomorrow.
Well, at least there's a silver lining
if the world does end.
I did it! And I only passed
out twice from the pain!
- No regrets!
- Hey!
Whoo!
What is going on here?
- Ha-ha!
- Brick?
What are you doing? I mean, you're supposed
to keep people calm,
not join in on the crazy.
I was, but these bozos came in
for their third, fifth and seventh
medical emergencies, respectively,
- and they kept talking about mud-dogging!
- Mud-dogging!
And it sounded like a lot of fun.
Whoo! It sure is!
Like our granny always said...
"Mud-dogging's more fun
when there's more people getting muddy!"
Mud-dogging!
I know this isn't the last
day, but... but it's a gift.
Shelby is with her mother in Tuscaloosa,
so I figured why not
have a little adventure?
- But you're gonna get yourself killed.
- No!
No, you know what, uh...
I'll keep him alive.
Zoe's still gone might as well join 'em.
Carpe the last diem!
Hey, you should do the same, my friend.
Go find Lemon.
Mud-dogging!
All right, let her rip, Brick!
Oh, baby!
Just to be clear,
you didn't say no to Pamela because of me?
- Because I shouldn't have butted in.
- Nah.
I mean, you were right, I, you
know? I, can't just up and leave;
I got obligations. You know, I
got real feelings for AnnaBeth.
And I could actually
see a future there, so...
You know, sometimes we just...
we do things for the
people that we care about.
Which is why... you should
be calling Wade right now.
I just tried, but he's still not answering.
So I don't believe in marriage.
You know, my parents... theirs was
a complete sham, so why would I?
- Because Wade does.
- But why?
We love each other. We're
having a baby together.
Why do we need some piece
of paper to prove it?
Because it's...
about more than just a piece of paper, Zoe.
I mean, we're... we're
talking about Wade Kinsella,
a renowned ladies' man that
we're talking about here.
And now he wants to stand up in
front of everyone he cares about
and vow that he will love you
and be faithful to you
for the rest of his life.
Forever. I mean, it's
like, it's the last stage
of his metamorphosis, you know? He
wants to... he wants to show us all
how, just how-how much he's changed.
And that's a pretty damn big deal.
Wow, that is so...
Why didn't he say all that?
Because even though he's
changed, he's... he's still Wade.
Look, and it's not just about Wade. I
mean, all of us would like to sit there
- and see y'all get hitched.
- Does sound kind of fun.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Meaningful, even.
Wade is probably not
gonna bring it up again.
No, no, he most definitely will not.
Ball is squarely in your court.
Yeah. My court.
If the Blawker is to be believed,
well, the world's probably
ending in a couple of hours.
Well, you better hurry up
and make up your mind then.
Uh...
- George?
- Hmm?
Step on it. I'm proposing to Wade tonight.
Yes, ma'am.
Well, at least Crickett is spending
her last night with Jaysene.
Four omens. I can't believe it.
I mean, whoever would've guessed
a rhyming Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones...
in the form of Lavon Hayes... would
actually know what he's talking about.
Wait. You never said
that he looked like Lavon.
How odd.
Well, you think it means something?
Well, I mean, it might. Maybe...
Maybe the end of the world is
about you letting go of Lavon.
I have already let him go.
Honey, you never truly let go of someone
that you used to love
until you love someone new.
Are you... are you saying
this is about George? That I...
Whoa.
What is going on here?
This is ridiculous.
Bunch of hooligans.
I've been wanting to do this for 40 years.
Oh.
Darkness will replace the light,
this'll be our final night!
The fifth omen!
OK, you go find George. I
will go find Lavon. All right?
Lavon?
Lemon, hey.
Where are you, honey?
I-I can't see anything.
Yeah, I know, I know. It's kind of crazy.
Look, m-m-meet me at my house.
Okay, okay.
And voilà.
_
Oh.
Uh, it's AnnaBeth. Oh,
I got to go find her.
Wait, y-you have to spell out "Wade."
I think he knows his own name.
Right. Ugh. Thank you. Go find AB.
Okay. Thanks. Oh, and, uh...
Congratulations.
Ooh. Wade. Hey.
All right.
What?
Brick tried to do what?
Okay, I-I'm on my way.
What happened? Is everything okay?
Brick hurt his ankle mud-dogging
with the Truitts and Wade.
Any chance you could just
make sure these don't blow out?
Seriously?
Zoe, there's-there's no wind out
here. The candles last for two hours.
Annabeth's waiting for me.
- Right, okay
- Okay.
Frank.
This is for the ticket you
bought me to Basic Instinct
- back in 92.
- Oh, thanks, Delma.
See you on the other side, hopefully.
Hey, AB, where's George?
Oh, on his way.
Oh, and he texted me that you
killed it tonight. Congratulations.
You're a lucky lady. I still
can't believe he turned Pammy down.
What Pammy? Turned her down for what?
Oh.
Nothing.
Just... sex.
You know, it's nice out
here in the moonlight.
Enchanting.
Like you.
You know what I realized while everyone was
running around doing
their bucket list thing?
Mm?
You are my bucket list.
My whole bucket list.
So sweet.
I love you.
And I want to spend as
much time with you as I can.
For the rest of my life.
Even if, uh... it's only 45 minutes.
_
Uh...
Yes! Oh, yes!
Yes?
Yes!
I always wondered what
mud-dogging was like.
Oh, that pain pill really helps.
Oh! Oh, I got to call Shelby.
Oh, no, I called her. She's on her way.
Brick, hope you feel better.
Call me if you need anything,
okay? Wade, let's go.
What's the big rush? I just
want to get home, you know?
Is that such a crime? Come on.
Zoe, W... Just hang on a minute, all right?
- Look, tonight was... it was a blast.
- Mm-hmm.
And I love you and I
want to marry you, even if
you frustrate the hell
out of me half the time.
- Quit while you're ahead.
- But, look, I don't want to fight, okay?
So whatever you want to do on the
wedding front is fine by me. I won't...
Just shut the hell up, Wade. I
have a surprise for you. Come on.
- But...
- Come on.
Oh, Shelby...
AnnaBeth.
- Oh, George, over here.
- Hey.
Sorry it took me so long.
I had to help Zoe out with a...
- a favor.
- Mm-hmm.
You okay?
George, I... just had a talk
with Meatball, and he told me
about the job offer in Nashville.
That was unnecessary. I...
I already turned it down.
For me?
Well, I mean, for a lot of reasons,
but, yes, you are at the top of the list.
George, this is an amazing opportunity.
I can't just let you give that up.
- AnnaBeth...
- For the first time
in my whole life, my future isn't all
laid out for me, and I kind of love that.
Nursing school is amazing, and who
knows where that's gonna take me?
And you love music managing.
You're right, but... what about us?
Nashville is only a two-hour flight.
And you are worth the trip.
It's not gonna be the same.
No. No, it won't. But we're gonna be okay.
'Cause you're gonna
slay 'em, George Tucker.
And you know what?
If this really is our last night on Earth,
then I want to know that we
spent every second of it...
chasing our dreams.
One minute till midnight!
Yeah!
Well, I got to admit,
this is pretty exciting.
Should we stick around? See what happens?
No, we have to go.
Okay. What the hell's the big surprise?
We're engaged!
Congratulations! How'd it happen?
Oh, my gosh, so Lavon picked
out the most romantic place
on the plantation and he spelled
out "marry me" in candles.
Isn't that so wonderful?
Oh.
Hey!
Can I talk to you?
At least somebody's
getting married around here.
You stole my proposal!
Wha... That was you?
You hate marriage. I thought it was Wade's.
Wait, is that relevant?
I'm sorry, Z. We came across the candles
and-and Lemon assumed,
and-and she was so happy,
and-and, you know, I got caught up,
and, well, I-I do want to
marry her, so I-I just let it
play out. But I-I will
tell the truth. Right now. I promise.
Isn't this the most exciting night ever?
Oh, forget it. Good grief.
Hey, so what was the big surprise?
Nothing.
Ten seconds!
Nine!
Eight!
Seven! Six!
Five! Four!
Three! Two!
One!
One!
Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones was wrong!
Bluebell is still here!
Now is the time. Everyone's here.
Um, excuse me, everybody!
Um...
I'm sorry, but can I have
your attention just for...
just for a minute.
I'm glad we're all still here.
Because to me, uh,
Bluebell's more than just a town.
It's a family.
And it's my home. And it always will be.
But as of tomorrow, I won't
be living here anymore.
I am, uh...
I'm moving to Nashville
to take a job up there.
I guess I just wanted to say
that I'm gonna miss y'all.
All of you.
George is leaving.
Cyrus was right.
This is the end of Bluebell as we know it.
Dr. Breeland.
- Take it you two are an item now.
- Yes, we are.
Yay! That is so great!
What is this? Harley made that
for me when I was a little girl.
- I thought you might like it.
- Did you really mean what you
said about me and music managing?
Oh, yeah. I am so proud of you.
I'm kind of sort of falling
for you AnnaBeth Nass.
Hello?
Who's there?
AnnaBeth Nass.
God?
It is I, Cyrus Lavinius
Jeremiah Jones.
The founder of Bluebell is in my bedroom?
I come with a warning.
At midnight tomorrow,
life as you know it will end forever.
There will be five omens.
Oh. Five... Ow! Omens. Okay.
Pay attention!
Hey!
A flood will smite a foe.
A former couple will say "N.O."
A chicken will be sent to bed.
- A city street will run blood red.
- Oh no.
Darkness will replace the light.
Life as you know it ends... tonight.
Well, that's a nice poem,
but I don't really believe...
Believe, AnnaBeth!
Now, repeat after me.
A flood will smite a foe.
A flood will smite a foe.
Wow.
That is a very strange
and oddly specific dream.
- Mm.
- What do you think it means?
I think it means I should lay
off the spicy shrimp at Fancie's.
But... what if it really is a warning?
A warning? You need to stop watching
that Russell Crowe Bible
movie on demand, my friend.
Oh, I am late for brunch.
Are you sure you can't join?
Wait. You're really going to brunch
on our potential last day on Earth?
Have you met me? What better
way to spend it than brunch?
But, honey, it was just a dream.
I only told you 'cause
I thought it was funny.
- Right.
- Ha.
Ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
- Ha.
- A toast.
To this monumental day.
- To us finally enjoying a meal together.
- To getting drunk before noon.
Amazing pancakes.
Who would have thunk it, huh?
Yeah, all of us in happy couples.
Yeah. You with his ex, you with his.
Me with her, you okay with it.
And no tension. No fighting.
Yes, it just seems like only yesterday
that Lemon was holding Zoe hostage
after Zoe ruined her wedding to George.
And now we're pals! Nearly pals.
And we have so many more
brunches ahead of us.
- Yeah.
- Hear! Hear! Yes!
All right, I can do that.
And dinners and picnics and football games
and birthday parties, and
our kids playing together
in the sandboxes. It's gonna be so awesome!
- Okay, take it easy there, Lemon.
- Okay, all right.
To the future.
To the future.
What a wonderful nursery.
Beautiful! Warm and loving.
Well, thank you. I renovated it myself.
Hey, I helped.
Watched. I watched you.
Yeah, there we go.
You are so adorable.
You know, I love my Joel,
but I always thought the two of you
- were meant to be.
- You could feel the sparks.
Yeah, burnt me in the eye a couple times.
Very funny.
So how is life in New York?
Wonderful! Every day's a new adventure.
- Museums...
- I can barely keep up with this one.
Marrying her was the
smartest thing I ever did.
Aw.
All right, get a room.
Aw.
- What about you?
- What about us?
Uh, when are you guys tying the knot?
Yeah, you're starting a family.
I'm sure the topic's come up.
Well, it came up, and this one
promptly fled the damn state.
Zoom! Like the Road Runner.
To be fair, my timing wasn't, uh, ideal.
W-But you're planning to get
married at some point, right?
- Yeah, of course, eventually.
- Nah, we don't believe in marriage.
You don't believe in marriage?!
Don't you think somehow
this is maybe something
you should have mentioned?
Well, I thought that we
were on the same page.
You know, the page that
agrees marriage is stupid.
Stupid?
You guys do realize
we're standing right here?
Yeah, well, I'm upset,
and I needed a snack.
Did you know this? She
doesn't believe in marriage?
Sure. It's one of her go-to rants.
But she has so many.
"There's a West Virginia, there
should be an East Virginia."
Marriage is paternalistic. It
is rooted in the dowry system.
You know, fathers selling off their
daughters in exchange for some...
- Some cows.
- Wha...?
This isn't familiar to you?
No! No, somehow in four years
of knowing this woman,
this particular quirk
has never been covered.
What else are you hiding from me?
You even a doctor?
You got married to Tansy
after three weeks, while drunk.
Okay? Since when do you
even care about this stuff?
Since I met you.
Aw.
Zoe, you have to admit,
that was pretty sweet.
If you don't marry him, I will.
All right, buddy, that's it.
George, I just don't get why
you can't come with me now.
I'm your most important client,
and I'm scared and needy.
I have a case that I got to wrap up, and
as soon as I'm done, I will come, okay?
Text me when you're on the road.
You're gonna be great, Meatball.
You're gonna be the best
act in that showcase.
- Mm.
- Hell, yeah, I am.
Those people are about to get Meatballed.
Hard... in the face!
- Huh.
- Ah.
Okay.
Okay. Oh! Be safe!
Ah. You sure you're
okay if I skip this one?
Of course, baby. You have been so
supportive of this entire process.
- Oh.
- And, well, I think it's time
that we let some other
people experience the, uh...
- Meatballing?
- Yeah, he has really got to stop
- saying that.
- Yes, he does.
You've been awfully quiet
today. What's going on?
Oh, it's silly.
AB had this dream prophesying
the end of the world.
- It's got me rattled.
- Come on.
You know dreams are just someone's
subconscious working stuff out.
Doesn't mean anything.
Of course. You're right. Thank
you for being the sensible one.
Oh, shoot.
There's a water main break in Fillmore.
All local fire departments
are being called in
to deal with it. I got to go.
- Oh.
- I'll text you later, okay, babe?
Okay. Bye.
Oh, Dash!
"Foe" means enemy, right?
Well, uh... well, yes. Why?
A flood will smite a foe!
Oh!
Uh-huh.
You know, I can't believe Wade
and Zoe never had a conversation
about something that important.
I know.
Lavon, just to be clear,
so we avoid similar
bickering down the line, I...
Now, Lemon Breeland,
it's not even a question.
Nothing would make me happier
than to marry you someday.
Okay, but there's no rush,
because we've only been
together a month, so...
Absolutely. We got all
the time in the world.
Yeah, well, I wouldn't be so sure.
Crickett, it was just
a dream, nothing more.
And you know that there's
no such things as omens.
Oh, so it was just a coincidence
that our foe happened to be flooded today?
Yeah, sure. Water mains
break all the time in Alabama.
So when did the last one break?
If you'll excuse me.
So, since it's our last day on Earth,
shall I grill up that
salmon tonight for dinner?
Welcome. Welcome, Brick!
Aah! Ooh!
Oh, easy, easy now. Oh.
What the hell?
Hang gliding injury. We
should have strapped him in.
You mean you went hang gliding
without a safety harness?
What the hell were you thinking?
Doc, we had a roof, a couple trash bags,
an aluminum arm chair,
bunch of duct tape and a dream.
And a whole lot of beers.
We're ticking things off our bucket list.
Oh, I know what this
tomfoolery is all about.
You-you knuckleheads heard
about AnnaBeth's silly
end-of-the-world dream, now, didn't you?
Hold the phone!
You're saying the world's ending?!
We had no idea that was happening!
Oh, we got to get through
that bucket list fast.
After the doc heals up Chicken,
we're gonna go confront that bear
- that's been giving us dirty looks.
- Yeah.
And I'm gonna learn how to read!
A chicken will be
sent to bed, a city
street will run blood red.
- Red?! You mean, red with blood?
- Like in The Shining?
Darkness will replace the light.
Life as you know it ends tonight.
- I haven't lived!
- I always wanted to go to Vegas!
Oh, dear.
AnnaBeth, do you think this was a prophecy?
Are we gonna die?
'Cause if so, I got to
cancel my hair appointment.
A reaction to Fancie's spicy shrimp.
Yes.
- We use a lot of paprika.
- Mm-hmm.
Guess we-we just gonna have to
- wait and see. Yeah!
- We die, we know who to blame.
- Oh.
- You guys.
Okay.
Crickett, what were you thinking?!
Whipping the Pritchetts
all up into a lather?!
I was trying to give them
the chance to make amends
before, poof, we can't!
It is not the end of the world, Crickett.
Maybe not, but AB's
dream was a wake-up call.
It's time to make amends
before it's too late.
And you know who I can't
stop thinking about?
Who?
Smelly Marjorie.
Oh. Smelly Marjorie.
We were not nice to her
in high school, not at all.
Wait. Was she the one that we kicked
off the cheerleading squad for her...?
Peculiar odor, yes.
I've always felt guilty
about Smelly Marjorie.
I heard she works at the
Pensacola Philharmonic.
- Let's go.
- You know what?
I don't believe one iota of
this whole dream nonsense,
but we should apologize to Smelly Marjorie,
and why not today?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, we should probably
stop calling her that first.
I thought all women wanted to get married.
Thought they pranced around
their bedrooms with blankets
on their head, pretending
it was their wedding day.
Not your girl.
I'm having an out-of-body experience here.
Me, Wade Kinsella,
tore up 'cause some woman
doesn't want to marry me.
Maybe I have pregnancy hormones.
Wait. Is that possible?
'Cause I might have them, too.
You know, I've been getting real weepy
over dog food commercials lately.
- Hey, maybe I should get a dog.
- Lavon. Oh.
There is a serious situation
you need to take care of.
See, last night, AnnaBeth had
- a dream...
- A flood
will smite a foe!
A former couple will say...
N.O.!
I already heard about AnnaBeth's
big omen... dream, and I'm-I'm not worried.
The Pritchetts are like Henny
Penny and Chicken Little.
Well, I-I think Henny Penny is
Chicken Little. It's the same story.
Who's Henny Penny and Chicken Little?
Okay, look, the point is
that people in this town
are too sensible to fall for this nonsense.
And then we're all gonna die!
- That doesn't even make any sense.
- None of that could possibly happen.
Other people's dreams are
so boring.
Haven't you two got any common sense?
Mm-hmm.
Well, the Truitt brothers believe it.
They've been in my office five times.
Hang gliding, uh,
ice dancing inside the freezer,
drinking pop rocks and moonshine.
Look, everything's gonna be fine.
Just have a little faith in Bluebell.
I'll see you later.
Can I get you a final beer?
Stupid!
Hey!
Can I offer you a ride, sir?
Well, I have a strict policy
against strangers chopping
me up into a million pieces.
Oh, yeah? Well, if it helps,
I'm a doctor, not an ax murderer.
Wow.
- That was a long time ago, wasn't it?
- Yeah.
What are you doing all the way out here?
I had to pick up some new blood
pressure monitors in Biloxi. Get in.
Oh, no, no, no, no. I... You know what,
I was just gonna call Tom. I got
a long trip ahead of me, so...
Dude, all that's waiting for me in Bluebell
is the Truitts' bucket list
and a very angry boyfriend.
- I'll fill you in on the way.
- All right.
- But where we going?
- Uh, New Orleans, actually.
Oh, you are kidding.
- No.
- Okay.
But on the way,
you're gonna have to
help me figure out a way
to get Wade to not want to marry me.
Uh...
Oh, and also I'm gonna
want to stop for beignets.
And I have to pee a bunch.
Also, I have veto power
- over the radio.
- Wow.
I do not know why Wade would
want to actually marry you
right now... you are very demanding lately.
- Hi, Zoe.
- Hey, Wade. Still mad?
Mad? No. Frustrated? Yes.
Well, I'm gonna give you
some time to get over that
because I'm gonna drive
George to Meatball's show.
In New Orleans?
Yes, but I'll be back tonight
and we can talk then, okay?
You just need to tell Brick
he needs to cover for me.
Oh, she's not coming back today, is she?
Yeah. Brick and I will
be here, getting used to a
very different future
than the one we expected.
Look, tell Meatball I said "break a leg",
all right? And text me when
you're on your way back.
Love you.
I love you, too. Bye.
Oh, fudge sticks up a fudge tree!
Uh, o-ow. Ha. Uh, watch your language.
Well, I am sorry, but my...
fellow town doctor's just
leaving me alone all day
so she can skip off to New
Orleans with George Tucker.
Dr. Hart and George Tucker are
going to New Orleans together?
A former couple will say N.O.
No, no. I-I didn't mean...
Look, Zoe and George were never
actually a couple. Believe me.
I have firsthand
knowledge of the situation.
They are as much a couple
as any star-crossed pair.
Wait, that means the
second omen has landed.
We're gonna die!
I'm gonna lock up my
store in case of looting.
Citizens of Bluebell, our beloved founder,
Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones,
came to AnnaBeth Nass in a dream.
And I'm sure he chose her for a reason.
A good reason. And I'm not hurt
about it, not even a little. I...
Tom, focus. End of times.
Sorry. CLJ-squared foretold five omens
to signal the end at midnight tonight.
It's chaos. There's gonna
be chaos, I'm warning you.
The Truitts pierced their
belly button with fishing hooks.
Brick, look, it doesn't look so bad.
It's just a few of the usual eccentrics
trying to create a spectacle.
The end is nigh!
Woo! Yeah, it is! Which is why
I will now break-dance atop the gazebo
'cause I have always wanted to do that!
Chicken! No, no, no!
Chicken! No, no, no! No,
Chicken, I already told you,
you need to go home and rest!
Dr. Breeland, you just
sent a Chicken to bed!
No, no. Wanda, no. I said...
I said he needed to rest.
- Well, where is he gonna rest?! Bed!
- The couch!
The-the couch is fine.
It's the third omen!
- That's not what I...
- That's it!
It's decided then!
I'm learning to kiteboard!
I'm gonna watch TV with my mom!
I'm gonna legally change my
name from Little Zach to Tank!
No one ever called
someone named Tank little!
I'm getting that tattoo I always
wanted but thought might hurt too much
and be bad judgment!
I'm finally gonna get
to do my one-man version
of the Three Tenors. I
call it the One Tenor!
I'm gonna cheat on my husband!
I fear this apocalypse
rumor might be a problem.
Oh, you think?
Wanda, let's set the alpacas free.
They deserve to know the taste of freedom.
First, let's do it in the gazebo!
- Oh...
- Mayor Hayes, we don't do something soon,
we're gonna have another Alien
Panic of '95 on our hands.
That was a dark day. My
office was overflowing.
Look Lavon, maybe you
should impose a curfew.
No. No, no. There is no
need to resort to a curfew.
But...
Attention, Bluebell!
Today is not the last day on Earth.
As the mayor, I assure you of that.
But it is a-a great day
for us all to-to be together and have fun.
As, uh, as a town.
- Yeah!
- Huh? So what say
we all get together tonight
at the Rammer Jammer!
We-we can watch, uh,
Dash's one-man opera thingy.
- You know, whatever it is.
- Hate Opera.
All food and drinks on me.
Yeah!
Marjorie?
Oh, my God, Marjorie! Hi!
- Sorry, do I know you?
- It's Crickett... Crickett Watts,
that's AnnaBeth Nass, Lemon Breeland.
- It's so good to see you.
- You look fantastic.
I love what you've done
with your hair. So cute.
Oh, you must remember us. Bluebell High?
Sorry. Now, if you'll excuse me...
We were in cheerleading together. Sort of.
- Crickett, maybe we should just...
- We are here to make amends.

Oh, he's pretty much always pumped.
It's more about keeping
his enthusiasm at a level

Did you order us

- One virgin, one not.
I couldn't resist. I mean,
I haven't had one of these...
Since the last time we were here.
Feels like forever ago, doesn't it?
Yeah. It does.
You know, that night here with you,
that was the first time I ever imagined
an entirely different life for myself.
Pretty much changed my course forever.
Mine, too. You're welcome.
Thank you.
Also a big part of the reason I
called off my wedding to Lemon.
And I sought comfort with Wade.
It has been quite a journey, hasn't it?
It sure has, my friend.
And we both ended up exactly
where we were supposed to.
Absolutely.
Even if Wade stays annoyed with
me for the rest of our lives.
He'll get over it. He always does.

All right, ladies, here you are.

Not at all. Today calories don't count.

Nope, but it's the perfect

Just the man we were looking for.
Hey, you two.
I thought you, uh, went back to Lillian.
We wanted to help you change Zoe's mind
about getting married.
I'll take all the advice I can get.
So we went to the library
and did some research
on contemporary attitudes
by reading ladies' magazines.
"Seven Ways to Get Him
to Put a Ring on It".
Number three was illuminating.
It was how Kim got Kanye to
make her his permanent bae.

Well, thank you.
Maybe Meatball or the Truitts,

This could be like a
whole new career for you.
Okay, okay, let's not get

Long story.
I am flattered, I really am,
but don't you want somebody
with a little more experience?
I mean, Meatball... well,
he's half my client list.
My last three managers had experience.
But you know what they didn't have?
Smarts, spark... passion.
I need someone who cares
more about making music
than the bottom line, and I got
a sense you know what I mean.
Uh... yeah.
So, can we stop talking,
and go pack our bags?
Um... well, I, uh...
George can't move to Nashville!
He's got a practice and friends
and an amazing girlfriend, and
brunches to have in Bluebell.
- Hey, Zoe, I can speak for myself.
- I'm sorry.
But everything she said
is... well, it's correct.
My whole life is in Bluebell.
And I've got Meatball,
and I've got the Truitts,
and I can't just abandon
them for someone else.

Um, yes, I mean, once we were unkind...
Cruel. I mean, but we truly
feel terrible about that.
We've changed. We really have.
We are different people now.
You think I give a flying ferret's
patootie about how you've changed?
You sang that song in front
of the other cheerleaders.
In front of Peter Kemple, the boy I liked.
I had nightmares. I had to go to therapy.
And not only did you ruin my life,
but now you show up here at my house
and you ruin Top Chef night, too?!
Oh.

Oh!
Oh, wait,

And it's not like the people of
Bluebell to pass up free food.
We've got a new plan.
- Oh, my...
- And it's a doozy.
We'll tell Zoe I'm dying and my
last wish is for her to get married.
- Well, a-are you okay?
- Yes!
I'm healthy as a horse.
A stallion.
Ew. Uh...
I appreciate it, guys, I really do,
but... I love Zoe,
and part of loving her is
dealing with her craziness.
So if she doesn't want to get married,
I just... I have to let that go.
But, uh, look, I appreciate all your
help. Could I get you a drink or something?
Oh, no. We can't stay.
A truck blew a tire, and a tub of red paint
fell out the back... which means...
A city street will run
blood red, of course.
Oh, it's more dark pink, but still...
Fourth omen.
We should get out there.
But you're my only...
I don't have a-a...
Oh...
that just made me feel so much worse.
So, so, so...
so much worse.
We're going to hell.
And sooner than later, because
the world is going to end
in a couple of hours.
- We are horrible, horrible people.
- No!
I mean, yes... we were horrible people,
but we are not those
mean cheerleaders anymore.
I mean, AnnaBeth, you are a
warm and generous, caring person.
You're gonna be a nurse, for Pete's sake.
Thank you.
And, Crickett, you are a
brave and generous woman.
I mean, you have turned the Belles
into a charitable and open institution.
Oh.
And, Lemon, you are...
definitely way less
scarier than you used to be.
Uh... thank you?
Oh!
I love you guys.
But if it is the end of the world,
I kind of want to be with Jaysene.
Fair enough. I'll drop you off.
We're talking the end of time here, people.
If ever there was a
time to YOLO, it is now.
Be sure to YOLO this evening.
Well, this ought to be
fun to clean up tomorrow.
Well, at least there's a silver lining
if the world does end.
I did it! And I only passed
out twice from the pain!
- No regrets!
- Hey!
Whoo!
What is going on here?
- Ha-ha!
- Brick?
What are you doing? I mean, you're supposed
to keep people calm,
not join in on the crazy.
I was, but these bozos came in
for their third, fifth and seventh
medical emergencies, respectively,
- and they kept talking about mud-dogging!
- Mud-dogging!
And it sounded like a lot of fun.
Whoo! It sure is!
Like our granny always said...
"Mud-dogging's more fun
when there's more people getting muddy!"
Mud-dogging!
I know this isn't the last
day, but... but it's a gift.
Shelby is with her mother in Tuscaloosa,
so I figured why not
have a little adventure?
- But you're gonna get yourself killed.
- No!
No, you know what, uh...
I'll keep him alive.
Zoe's still gone might as well join 'em.
Carpe the last diem!
Hey, you should do the same, my friend.
Go find Lemon.
Mud-dogging!
All right, let her rip, Brick!
Oh, baby!
Just to be clear,
you didn't say no to Pamela because of me?
- Because I shouldn't have butted in.
- Nah.
I mean, you were right, I, you
know? I, can't just up and leave;
I got obligations. You know, I
got real feelings for AnnaBeth.
And I could actually
see a future there, so...
You know, sometimes we just...
we do things for the
people that we care about.
Which is why... you should
be calling Wade right now.
I just tried, but he's still not answering.
So I don't believe in marriage.
You know, my parents... theirs was
a complete sham, so why would I?
- Because Wade does.
- But why?
We love each other. We're
having a baby together.
Why do we need some piece
of paper to prove it?
Because it's...
about more than just a piece of paper, Zoe.
I mean, we're... we're
talking about Wade Kinsella,
a renowned ladies' man that
we're talking about here.
And now he wants to stand up in
front of everyone he cares about
and vow that he will love you
and be faithful to you
for the rest of his life.
Forever. I mean, it's
like, it's the last stage
of his metamorphosis, you know? He
wants to... he wants to show us all
how, just how-how much he's changed.
And that's a pretty damn big deal.
Wow, that is so...
Why didn't he say all that?
Because even though he's
changed, he's... he's still Wade.
Look, and it's not just about Wade. I
mean, all of us would like to sit there
- and see y'all get hitched.
- Does sound kind of fun.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
- Meaningful, even.
Wade is probably not
gonna bring it up again.
No, no, he most definitely will not.
Ball is squarely in your court.
Yeah. My court.
If the Blawker is to be believed,
well, the world's probably
ending in a couple of hours.
Well, you better hurry up
and make up your mind then.
Uh...
- George?
- Hmm?
Step on it. I'm proposing to Wade tonight.
Yes, ma'am.
Well, at least Crickett is spending
her last night with Jaysene.
Four omens. I can't believe it.
I mean, whoever would've guessed
a rhyming Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones...
in the form of Lavon Hayes... would
actually know what he's talking about.
Wait. You never said
that he looked like Lavon.
How odd.
Well, you think it means something?
Well, I mean, it might. Maybe...
Maybe the end of the world is
about you letting go of Lavon.
I have already let him go.
Honey, you never truly let go of someone
that you used to love
until you love someone new.
Are you... are you saying
this is about George? That I...
Whoa.
What is going on here?
This is ridiculous.
Bunch of hooligans.
I've been wanting to do this for 40 years.
Oh.
Darkness will replace the light,
this'll be our final night!
The fifth omen!
OK, you go find George. I
will go find Lavon. All right?
Lavon?
Lemon, hey.
Where are you, honey?
I-I can't see anything.
Yeah, I know, I know. It's kind of crazy.
Look, m-m-meet me at my house.
Okay, okay.
And voilà.
_
Oh.
Uh, it's AnnaBeth. Oh,
I got to go find her.
Wait, y-you have to spell out "Wade."
I think he knows his own name.
Right. Ugh. Thank you. Go find AB.
Okay. Thanks. Oh, and, uh...
Congratulations.
Ooh. Wade. Hey.
All right.
What?
Brick tried to do what?
Okay, I-I'm on my way.
What happened? Is everything okay?
Brick hurt his ankle mud-dogging
with the Truitts and Wade.
Any chance you could just
make sure these don't blow out?
Seriously?
Zoe, there's-there's no wind out
here. The candles last for two hours.
Annabeth's waiting for me.
- Right, okay
- Okay.
Frank.
This is for the ticket you
bought me to Basic Instinct
- back in 92.
- Oh, thanks, Delma.
See you on the other side, hopefully.
Hey, AB, where's George?
Oh, on his way.
Oh, and he texted me that you
killed it tonight. Congratulations.
You're a lucky lady. I still
can't believe he turned Pammy down.
What Pammy? Turned her down for what?
Oh.
Nothing.
Just... sex.
You know, it's nice out
here in the moonlight.
Enchanting.
Like you.
You know what I realized while everyone was
running around doing
their bucket list thing?
Mm?
You are my bucket list.
My whole bucket list.
So sweet.
I love you.
And I want to spend as
much time with you as I can.
For the rest of my life.
Even if, uh... it's only 45 minutes.
_
Uh...
Yes! Oh, yes!
Yes?
Yes!
I always wondered what
mud-dogging was like.
Oh, that pain pill really helps.
Oh! Oh, I got to call Shelby.
Oh, no, I called her. She's on her way.
Brick, hope you feel better.
Call me if you need anything,
okay? Wade, let's go.
What's the big rush? I just
want to get home, you know?
Is that such a crime? Come on.
Zoe, W... Just hang on a minute, all right?
- Look, tonight was... it was a blast.
- Mm-hmm.
And I love you and I
want to marry you, even if
you frustrate the hell
out of me half the time.
- Quit while you're ahead.
- But, look, I don't want to fight, okay?
So whatever you want to do on the
wedding front is fine by me. I won't...
Just shut the hell up, Wade. I
have a surprise for you. Come on.
- But...
- Come on.
Oh, Shelby...
AnnaBeth.
- Oh, George, over here.
- Hey.
Sorry it took me so long.
I had to help Zoe out with a...
- a favor.
- Mm-hmm.
You okay?
George, I... just had a talk
with Meatball, and he told me
about the job offer in Nashville.
That was unnecessary. I...
I already turned it down.
For me?
Well, I mean, for a lot of reasons,
but, yes, you are at the top of the list.
George, this is an amazing opportunity.
I can't just let you give that up.
- AnnaBeth...
- For the first time
in my whole life, my future isn't all
laid out for me, and I kind of love that.
Nursing school is amazing, and who
knows where that's gonna take me?
And you love music managing.
You're right, but... what about us?
Nashville is only a two-hour flight.
And you are worth the trip.
It's not gonna be the same.
No. No, it won't. But we're gonna be okay.
'Cause you're gonna
slay 'em, George Tucker.
And you know what?
If this really is our last night on Earth,
then I want to know that we
spent every second of it...
chasing our dreams.
One minute till midnight!
Yeah!
Well, I got to admit,
this is pretty exciting.
Should we stick around? See what happens?
No, we have to go.
Okay. What the hell's the big surprise?
We're engaged!
Congratulations! How'd it happen?
Oh, my gosh, so Lavon picked
out the most romantic place
on the plantation and he spelled
out "marry me" in candles.
Isn't that so wonderful?
Oh.
Hey!
Can I talk to you?
At least somebody's
getting married around here.
You stole my proposal!
Wha... That was you?
You hate marriage. I thought it was Wade's.
Wait, is that relevant?
I'm sorry, Z. We came across the candles
and-and Lemon assumed,
and-and she was so happy,
and-and, you know, I got caught up,
and, well, I-I do want to
marry her, so I-I just let it
play out. But I-I will
tell the truth. Right now. I promise.
Isn't this the most exciting night ever?
Oh, forget it. Good grief.
Hey, so what was the big surprise?
Nothing.
Ten seconds!
Nine!
Eight!
Seven! Six!
Five! Four!
Three! Two!
One!
One!
Cyrus Lavinius Jeremiah Jones was wrong!
Bluebell is still here!
Now is the time. Everyone's here.
Um, excuse me, everybody!
Um...
I'm sorry, but can I have
your attention just for...
just for a minute.
I'm glad we're all still here.
Because to me, uh,
Bluebell's more than just a town.
It's a family.
And it's my home. And it always will be.
But as of tomorrow, I won't
be living here anymore.
I am, uh...
I'm moving to Nashville
to take a job up there.
I guess I just wanted to say
that I'm gonna miss y'all.
