Original Air date: Oct. 28, 2013
It’s Halloween in Bluebell.
Lemon finds herself blacklisted from the Halloween Masquerade Ball, the
top social event this week, in response to her anti-Belle antics last week. In order to secure herself an invitation she is
forced to call in Grandmother Betty Breeland “[she is] like the President but
with power.” Zoe disapproves of Joel’s
new found friendship with Wade and tries steer him towards Lavon instead. All while Wade is trying to hide
from a very large very angry mountain named Randall.
Annabeth goes in for her routine physical with Zoe. During the exam Zoe discovers a small growth on
one of her ovaries. It could be nothing,
but they need to get some tests done to make sure. Annabeth wants to have lots
of children in her future and she worries that this growth will mean
infertility. Lavon has organized a
special evening for the both of them with a surprise she’ll never forget. Annabeth doesn't feel like she can accept Lavon’s
suspected proposal knowing she may never have children.
Sidenote: This is where I hold my tongue on how much I hate this trope
in media. Anytime a man says “special
surprise” the woman always thinks it’s a proposal, no matter what. "We've only known each other for a week, but
he said special surprise. HE MUST BE ASKING ME TO MARRY ME!" And then when the
special surprised ends up being a doughnut the women throw their hands up in the
air and are like “MEN! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?” (By the way I’m being hyperbolic right here.) I just... can we please stop with the cliche that every woman thinks of marriage first and foremost. Just seriously can we stop this?
So Zoe drags Joel away from the one man Frankenstein show in
order to crash Annabeth and Lavon’s evening.
Which actually works to her advantage as she’s been trying to get Joel
and Lavon together for awhile. She’d
much rather Joel quit hanging out with Wade in favor for Lavon. Which in the end the three of them go on a
short roadtrip together. I like Joel by
the way. He’s so cute and as he slowly
adjusts to Bluebell and he gets so excited about the small things. Don’t you devastate him Zoe Hart! Do you hear me?!
Last week I talked about how much I love Lemon. I love how
much she’s grown and just who she is. This
week it seems that Lemon is just beginning to realize just how much she's changed She gets her invite to the Masquerade
and her date is a total tool. She finds
herself leaving early with the handsome ‘flat tire guy’. She’s not interested in the most eligible
bachelors anymore. They’re insufferable, they judge because of her bar or they're just boring. She realizes she’s not the same snob anymore. I hope we see ‘flat tire guy’ aka Peter
again. He was sweet, smart and he really
liked Lemon for who he was. Awwww.
Wade comes to terms with his lingering feelings for Zoe. He’s been spiraling out of control (again),
sleeping with unavailable women. Which I’m
not completely sure that we have seen the last of the repercussions of his
recent hook ups. He slept with the Judge's wife. That can't bode well for him.
Favorite bits from the episode?
- Joel being so excited to hang out with Wade. “He has a pickup truck! I've never been in a pickup truck!”
- Lavon and Joel bonding over Game of Thrones and Night of the Living Dead
- Everyone fending for themselves when Betty Breeland is involved. Just throwing one person after another under the bus at the Masquerade Ball.
- Wade and George having a bro-date. “Save a slow dance for me Tucker.”
In conclusion: Brick
is still hazing Zoe by making her count tongue depressors and cotton balls. Betty Breeland wields real power. George can’t say no to Wade. Joel is finding himself lots of friends in
Bluebell even if he wears that NYU shirt every day. Night of the Living Dead on a 20 foot screen
TOTALLY qualifies as a special surprise that you’d remember for the rest of
your life.
