Hart of Dixie

I wanna share some news. : I'm pregnant.

Who's the lucky guy?

I am not the father. Shelby was artificially inseminated.

- What are you doing here? - Wade offered me a job.

- Hope it's not gonna be uncomfortable. - Why would it be? No, not at all.

Why didn't you want to meet us?

Family has never meant more to me than trouble.

- I wish we could start over. - Okay. Yeah.

- Vivian Wilkes. - I hear you bought the Rammer Jammer.

Yeah, you should come by some time.

- Joel can give you a ride home. - I have a ride.

You ready?

This has been the most amazing month. Getting to know you, guys.

I'm just glad we haven't burnt you out on Wilkes family activities.

No way! Sunrise tennis is awesome. I love our family traditions.

I'm not sure your boyfriend agrees.

Sorry. Catching a breath back here.

- Pathetic. Get in shape, buddy. - What?!

- There was one of me versus two of you. - Oh, brother.

Ladies, nobody told me it was tennis-skirt Tuesday.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Hey. Hey, I am so glad that you called. We should make this a regular thing.

Oh, I'm just thrilled to get out of the house

and converse with people that don't drink out of juice boxes.

- Life of a single mom. - Right...

Actually, I've started thinking about moving on, the next step, dating.

Wow.

Yeah.

Hey, you know, that's great. Get back on that horse.

- Why don't you let me set you up. - Really? You'd do that?

Yes. Just let me check and see if that guy I'm thinking of is still available.

Okay.

Hey, what's your take on Vivian?

Vivian, Zoe's cousin Vivian?

- Yeah. - She's great.

I got half a mind to ask her out.

You should listen to that half of your mind.

You guys would make a great couple.

And then we'd have a fourth for tennis. Now, I think we could totally take them.

It's true, I'm stronger on the forehand side, but I'm a monster at the net.

Easy there, Sparky. The more you talk about this, less appealing it seems.

All right.

Yeah. (Laughs)

- Yeah. See? - Mm.

I call it Frittata Lambada.

Oh, let me guess. 'Cause it's gonna make my taste buds dance.

- Correct. Also, because it rhymes. - Oh. Okay.

Good morning.

Hey. I didn't know y'all were coming by for breakfast.

No. Even though we should have, since it's been every day for a week.

- I don't know that it's been every day. No, A.B.'s right.

For whatever reason, George can't get enough of y'all's company.

You know what I mean.

Oh, George, uh, come on.

Uh, sure.

I'm gonna need you at this meeting this afternoon with Mayor Gainey and...

Uh, the state comptroller?

The one where he said he's pitching us on the merger?

I thought you said that was a waste of time.

And it is. I mean, Gainey will never agree to it, either.

There's one thing that Gainey and I agree upon,

is that'll be a cold day in hell before BlueBell and Fillmore merge.

Okay. So, what's the point?

Today's comptroller is tomorrow's governor.

He may force the issue, and Gainey's bringing his attorney, so I'm bringing you.

Oh, joy, an afternoon with Scooter McGreevy.

- How did I get so lucky? - Oh, and one more thing.

You want to tell Lavon Hayes why you're avoiding

the fine dining establishments of BlueBell?

What? I'm not avoiding...

Well, because a suspicious man might think

it's on account of the fact

that your ex-girlfriend's working at the Rammer Jammer,

which would imply you still have feelings...

Lavon, that is not the case.

That's all I need to hear.

- Okay. - All right.

Lynly, good news. George Tucker's taking you out to breakfast this morning.

You're welcome.

Yes, Lemon, I have been getting out of the house. I got a lunch date today.

No, it's not with Shelby. It's with Carolee, if you must know.

Well, I will text you proof during dessert.

That was a joke. I'm not gonna text you.

Okay, you go tend to your grandmother. All right. Bye.

Oh, Brick, Thank God. It's an emergency.

Is it the baby? Contractions?

No. Worse. It's time for my birthing class, and I don't have a partner.

Okay, not really an emergency, and that shouldn't come as a surprise.

When I signed up for the class, I thought I'd be fine

being a single mom in a sea full of couples,

but this morning I woke up in a full-blown panic.

Shelby, can I tell you the truth about childbirth?

They guy doesn't really do that much.

I'm gonna be self-conscious, and then internalize those feelings,

and that can't be good for the baby, right?

Are you sure you can't come to just one class with me?

Well, I...

I guess.

Sure, I... I could do that for you. Why not?

Oh. Thank you, Brick Breeland.

- So, when is this class? - Lunchtime today. You're free, right?

By going out to breakfast, I thought you meant

one of those new-fangled places where you sit at the table

and people take your order.

No, no, no. The thing is, the Butter Stick Bakery...

They grind their own coffee. That's why all the cool kids come here.

- George. - Tansy, hey, what are you, uh...?

- Butter Stick's got the best coffee. Yeah.

Uh, Tansy, Lynly. Lynly, Tansy.

- Nice to meet you. - Great. Now everyone knows each other.

Well, I got to get to the Rammer Jammer. Shift's starting, so...

- How long you been working there? - Um, a week, ten days.

Y'all should come by for breakfast.

Huh. Yeah.

So, that's the Tansy who damaged your goods, Tansy?

- Yup, one in the same. - Should I be worried about this?

No. No, absolutely not. Tansy and I ended a while ago.

She moved on with Scooter McGreevy,

and I found you, which means I won.

But you're avoiding the Rammer Jammer.

Yes. Just because I don't feel like running into my ex

for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It makes it hard to digest. I get it, George. I've been there.

And that is why I am the luckiest guy in the world.

Yes, you are.

Percy Lewis composed a symphony. What college wouldn't want her?

Randy Foster got two photos in the National Geographic.

What has Rose Hattenbarger done? Nothing.

Rose, you're a great kid who's smart and funny with loads of potential.

That is not enough. I need to stand out.

- I need... - Internships.

That's how I got accepted to every college I applied to.

I did internships all over Manhattan.

Red Cross, CDC, Doctors Without Borders.

I got coffee for Dr. Ruth one summer.

Internships. Got it.

Why are there no other adults in my life I can rely on?

A.B., you're in the setting-people-up- on-dates business, right?

Not for money. That's illegal.

No. I told my cousin Vivian

that I had somebody great to set her up with, but I don't.

Okay, well, why would you tell her that?

Because I am trying to prevent certain disasters from happening.

Okay.

Hey, I know this might be weird, but what about Vivian and Wade?

I think they might have a little spark.

That is the disaster I'm trying to prevent from happening.

Zoe.

No. Oh, no, no. Not for the reasons that you think, okay?

It's just, Vivian's just getting back on that dating horse,

and I don't want to see her thrown off and trampled

before she has the chance to...

To canter?

Gallop?

I don't really know anything about horses.

It's just, I'm in a unique position

to keep my cousin from making the same mistakes that I did.

Please.

Well... a couple months ago, Crickett and I made a list

of all of the eligible bachelors for Lemon.

Let me see if it's stil floating around.

- Perfect! - Okay. You're welcome.

Sorry, everyone.

Uh, our comptroller was just outlining the virtues of a town merger.

Here you go. I know it's a tough sell,

but it gets me out of the office.

All right, speech is this.

Governor believes it would save our fine state millions of dollars

if we can get some of our less populated towns to merge... with their neighbors.

Well, I know I speak for Mayor Gainey

when I say, we both relish our towns' unique identities,

and can't envision a world in which they are merged into one.

Well, hold on now.

Don't go putting words in my mouth there, Mayor Hayes.

Tell your boss that the people of Fillmore would love

nothing better than to link arms and embrace our brethren to the west.

- I'm-I'm sorry. What now? - Fillmore supports the merger.

And the progressive thinking behind it.

Oh.

Okay. What is he doing? Is he... All right, I'm sorry. Is he serious?

Serious as a Liam Neeson movie.

Finally, I careport some good news to the Governor.

- He might put this on his Twitter. - A visionary alliance, Mayor Hayes.

Come here, give me a hug.

Uh...

Comptroller Riley, all due respect.

Please tell the Governor that BlueBell is not,

and will never be interested in merging with Fillmore.

- Uh, George? - Never. Ever.

Every, ever.

Ever.

Seems to me, if I was in charge of Bluebird...

That's BlueBell...

I would be thrilled to merge with the good people of Fillmore.

I intend to fast-track this merge with the Governor's Office.

You will be hearing from him.

Good day, gentlemen, and thank you

for making me one happy civil servant.

Tucker, this is gonna be great.

I think when the merger goes through, I might buy a boat.
