I'm setting up George and AnnaBeth. I saw a spark between them.
- It won't work. - You're trying to get
George and I together
so that you can run off with Lavon, guilt free?
I saw you and George at the Butter Stick
and you looked so cute.
AB figured it out.
- There's nothing holding us back. - No, AB was right.
I've been selfish my entire life.
And I will not put my feelings before hers.
If I saw you at the Butter Stick Bakery,
maybe I would come and join you.
- Well, maybe I'd let you. - Let's not tell anyone.
- Definitely not. - No.
Okay, here's your chance to see the 24-week fetus in 2-D.
All the organs, inside and out.
Don't worry, I'll talk you through everything.
Talking through everything is supposed to be my job.
Your job is to sit back and relax.
Explaining medical mumbo jumbo is how she relaxes.
He's right. That's true.
Then knock yourself out, Dr. Hart.
There's the heart.
All four ventricles pumping strong.
All right.
There's the spleen. Looks healthy. The small intestine.
And there's... There's the...
- What? There's the what? - The penis.
My baby girl has a penis?
What? No, it... It's a boy?
We were just positive that we were having a girl
on account of me being a girl.
Which, I can now see, wasn't a totally logical assumption.
Especially for a doctor.
Wait, is that his... Yeah!
That's his arm, Wade.
Oh.
- A boy. - A boy.
Ripped By mstoll
- Hello, AnnaBeth. - Hi, George.
- That is a nice dress. - Thank you. You too.
That doesn't make any sense.
- So, George, how have you been? - Truitt brothers managing.
Actually, Meatball demanded that I take him on as well.
So I guess I am now managing
all of the town musical goofballs.
Sounds fun.
- And you? - Started nursing classes.
Learning a ton and I'm loving it.
That is great. That is really great.
- I'm very happy to hear that. - Yeah.
- So... - Yes?
- I was... - Hey. George. AnnaBeth.
I was just gonna grab me some coffee.
Oh!
- Kind of blocking the door. - Right. Right, I should...
- It was good to see you, AB. - Yes. You too.
Both of you.
Small town.
Yay.
I have called this emergency meeting
of BlueBell Small Business Owners Council
because our bid
to host the state football championship
has been denied.
No offense, Dash, but we all knew this was coming.
Well, now, wait a minute. There's more.
I've been told on good authority
that our bid may still be in contention.
That is, on one condition.
That we co-host with Fillmore.
- What? Not Fillmore. - No way. Sorry.
Well, I know that,
but Fillmore has that new state-of-the-art football stadium
and with our famous football great mayor, Lavon Hayes,
to use as promotion,
our bid may just be moved instantly to the forefront.
That would be an unholy alliance.
Unholy, but fruitful.
- How fruitful exactly? - Melissa, darling.
- Well, I'll be... - That is a lot of money.
Now, I ask you again.
Who thinks we should co-host with Fillmore?
Okay, but you know Lavon is never gonna go for this.
The mayors have to present this to the commissioner together.
Lavon would have to reach out to Gainey.
One of us is gonna have to convince him to do so.
I motion for Lemon Breeland,
our council's most persuasive member to do the deed.
What? No. No, Lavon and I are not...
I'm just so busy.
Now that Fancie's is up and running and...
I second the motion.
- Hear! Hear! - Hear! Hear!
Our boy.
You know, I can't wait to teach him how to throw a spiral.
And tame alligators.
I'm gonna teach him about catching possums
and fishing and about V-8 engines.
Are you kidding me?
No, it's not sexist.
I was gonna teach our little girl about that too.
Possums? Engines? Alligators?
You know, perhaps our son would prefer shopping at Barney's,
and Katy Perry.
- I brought the room decor. - All right!
It was so romantic. We were sharing a bucket of popcorn
and both reached in at the same time.
Jaysene grabbed my hand and said...
Well, I'll be a possum's bottom.
But that's not what she said at all.
Here you go.
Isn't that Gloria Gainey, Fillmore's first lady?
Yeah, buying sweets in BlueBell.
- Gloria, how are you? - AnnaBeth.
Promise you won't breathe a word of this.
If Todd found out I bought the ladyfingers
for my birthday bash here in BlueBell...
Your secret's safe with me.
You are coming to my party tomorrow, aren't you, dear?
You could bring a date if you'd like.
- I don't... - I won't take no for an answer.
I am counting on you to be there.
And don't forget your 60's costume.
- Bye. - Bye.
- I'm not going. - Why not?
Well, Davis has met someone new
and they'll all feel sorry for me showing up alone.
Then take a date.
Jaysene has this cute cousin. He's a firefighter too.
Thanks, but I don't think so.
Well, who wouldn't want to go out with a fi...?
You have your eye on someone, AB.
No. No!
I mean, I had a moment where I thought I might, but I don't.
At least I don't think so. I don't... It's complicated!
Oh, for Pete's sake.
Just ask this mystery man to the Gainey party.
What have you got to lose?
Well, you know what? You're absolutely right.
- Tucker. - McGreevy.
I see you're really moving up in the world.
Until tonight, then.
We gonna take five, G.T.
Have I told you how much I hate Scooter McGreevy?
Well, please try to hate him less
because I think tonight is the night.
Scooter is insisting on taking me to dinner
before the party to some place in Mobile with cloth napkins.
And I think Dolly Parton is about to get a daddy!
No. No!
Tansy, you cannot marry that tool shed.
Don't judge. I love him.
All right, well, then, I'm happy for you, Tansy.
And now that you're over Lemon,
maybe it's time for you to find some happiness of your own.
Yeah, I don't know.
George Tucker. You like someone.
No! No. There was a minute there when I thought I might.
But now I don't. Probably.
Besides, it's complicated.
It is very, very co... It is so complicated.
So what? I mean, life is short. You deserve...
What would you tell me in this scenario, George?
Lemon.
What are you doing here?
I am here on behalf of the Small Business Owners Council.
Dash has heard on good authority that we have a good chance
of hosting the state championship
if we co-host.
Yeah. Sure.
I would consider co-hosting with Mobile,
Fairhope, Mussel Shoals...
No. No, no. No. No. No.
Okay, listen. You have every right to hate them.
And Mayor Gainey is as annoying as fire ants in your drawers.
But...
That's a lot of zeros.
You are looking at unprecedented revenue for local businesses.
It would make a world of difference to all of us.
All right.
For the town, I will go see Gainey tomorrow.
Thank you, Lavon.
Hold on. That's it? You just gonna walk away
and not say anything else?
What else is there to say?
Well, I can't wait around forever, Lemon.
Now if you won't have me, I will find someone else who will.
Good. Good for you.
Goodbye, Lavon.
George. Funny seeing you again.
Right here. In front of my house.
I know. I was actually looking for you.
- I was looking for you. - Really?
- Yeah. - Well...
Okay. This is gonna be weird.
I'm just gonna bite the bullet here.
AnnaBeth, would you like to go to dinner
with me tomorrow night?
Really?
No, I'm sorry. I can't.
Okay. I just did that. Unexpected.
I have asked you here today
because Lavon and George refused.
Also because you epitomize real Alabama men.
- I resent that implication. - I only epitomize with ladies.
No, no, no. She's calling us rugged and manly.
As it turns out, I am about to become the mother
of an Alabama boy.
So what I need right now is some down and dirty
Alabama boy immersion. Who's in?
- For free beer. - Let's do this thing.
- Sold! - And free goat treats.
Yeah!
That's right. Come on. Come on.
Why?
AB!
Please chew before you swallow that cruller whole
and me along with it. What happened?
Well, that guy asked me out.
Oh, no. Wait.
- Why isn't that excellent news? - Because I said no.
- Why on Earth did you do that? - I don't know!
Please tell me you are not still hung up on Lavon Hayes.
What? No! No, I just...
I'll always have feelings for Lavon, but I'm trying not to.
- Then what's the holdup? - I don't know.
I think I'm just afraid of getting hurt.
And this guy? He is a recipe for getting hurt.
I mean, the situation is downright...
...confusing. I just don't get it.
And she said no? Just no? No explanation at all?
It was probably for the best.
- Hi, George. - Hello, AnnaBeth.
- Okay. - Okay.
- Just have a nice day. - Thank you.
Like a couple of dancing flamingos.
All right. Just hold still.
Mm-hm.
My God. It's AnnaBeth?
- George Tucker? - I mean, AB is wonderful.
You are right to avoid that minefield.
Everyone knows she still has a thing for Lavon.
George Tucker changes his mind about who he's in love with
every two weeks!
You think his managing the Truitt brothers
doesn't have something to do with Tansy?
I know, dating AnnaBeth...
It was a crazy idea.
Don't get me wrong.
I could raise a New York boy, no problem.
Box seats at Yankee Stadium? Check.
Soccer games at Central Park? Check.
Learning how to avoid being mugged on the subway?
Chizzeck! I can handle a city boy.
But raising an Alabama boy? And a Kinsella one at that?
I don't even know what mud-dogging is.
Well, actually, it's a time-honored tradition...
And I don't want to know, okay?
That's why I'm going to be the worst
Alabama-boy mom ever.
Well, being a better listener might help.
But look, I raised two girls all alone now, didn't I?
And I managed just fine.
Hello, Daddy. Time to celebrate. I'm home for the weekend.
I can see that, Magpie.
And I'm just thrilled at the sight of you.
You too, Daddy. Also I need $200, pronto.
Two hundred dollars? For what?
You know, girl stuff. Thank you.
Also the little league coach from Daphne
is at reception with some kid.
You guys really need to get someone to fill-in out there.
Not me. Thank you.
Good to see you too, Magnolia.
Hey, Coach. Everything okay?
There was a collision in the outfield.
Ow! It really hurts!
Okay. We'll take care of that.
Now, the exam room is right in here.
I will be right in. Up you go.
- That's it. - You know what?
Why don't you go have lunch with Magnolia
and I'll take this?
Watch me bond the crap out of that Alabama boy.
Yeah, but, Dr. Hart...
- Hello. - Never mind.
Hi, I am Dr. Hart and I am going to fix you right up.
And while I do,
I was hoping that you could help me with a few things.
- Help you? - Yeah, see,
I'm about to have a little boy myself.
And I thought you could give me some advice.
First piece of advice...
avoid gender stereotyping.
- George. Hi. - I would just like to say
that I've thought about it and I take it back.
- Take what back? - Asking you out.
You can't take it back.
- Why not? - Because you already asked.
- But you said no. - That is not the point.
Well, I clearly was not in my right mind.
Because someone in their right mind wouldn't ask me out?
- Exactly. - Excuse me?
Because you are still not over Lavon.
What? Lavon is not why I said no to you.
Really? Because you have been flirting with me
for the last couple of weeks and if that is the...
- Me? Flirting with you? - Yeah.
No. You, sir, are the flirt. You are the flirt.
And the reason I said no to you
is because you are a serial boyfriend.
You jump from one bad relationship
to another bad relationship.
When the new ones don't work out,
you just recycle the old ones. Like Tansy.
That is not what is going...
- She has a boyfriend. - Maybe for now.
But she certainly has taken a great deal of interest
in the musical career of her brothers, all of a sudden.
- Because they are good! - Seriously?
What, do you have a LoJack on him or something?
- Everything okay? - Yeah. Just peachy.
Do not ask. I am just having a bad day.
Okay. Well, it's about to get worse.
Look, I need to go kiss Gainey's bottom
try to convince him to co-host this game with us.
And I just can't do it alone. I need your help.
Of course you do!
Today keeps getting better and better!
Hey, Magnolia? Daddy said you were home,
so I thought I'd come by and say hi.
My God! I don't have any money,
but we have a very valuable porcelain figurine collection!
- And you can just take it all! - Hey, you're out of bourbon.
Hey, Lemon. I see you've met Chet.
But... Chet?
Yeah, we met at the rodeo. God bless field trips.
- Where are his clothes? - Spilled beer on my pants.
That nice housekeeper of yours is washing them.
- He drove me in his car. - Souped up V8.
Added some torque and a dual exhaust, baby flies!
Well, that is very reassuring.
- So, Cherry. - Lemon.
Close enough. How about that bourbon?
- How'd it go with Mayor Gainey? - He was out.
So we had to talk to Scooter McGreevy.
- And? - He said we couldn't see Gainey.
And that we should shove it.
But the deadline for applying for the game
is midnight tonight.
Yeah. We know that, Frank.
Well, I need that money to buy a polygraph machine
for my detective agency.
Fashion like this doesn't grow on trees.
Okay, okay, I just need to figure out a way
to get to Gainey without having to go through Scooter.
And maybe he'll be in a good mood
and he'll come to his senses.
Word on the street has it that Gloria Gainey is having
a big birthday extravaganza tonight in Fillmore.
May be a good time to do some buttering up.
Exactly how am I supposed to get into Mrs. Gainey's party, Dash?
Other word on the street has it
that AnnaBeth Nass has been invited to said party.
Maybe you can convince her to make you her plus one, Lavon.
We'll find another way to get to Gainey.
- Yeah, what ideas you got? - None, right now.
But taking AnnaBeth to a party is not a good idea.
And not just because of the way she feels about you
- for many reasons. - What choice do I have?
I mean, this game would be huge for local business.
I owe my town.
- You, me, on a date? - I'd just be your plus one.
It's the only way to get to Gainey.
Well, I do love this town. And I do love football.
And George thinks it's a great idea.
Really?
Well, if George thinks it's a great idea, then I'm in.
Great. I'll pick you up at the Rammer Jammer at 8:00?
Mm-hm.
Yes, Alabama men have their problems.
But not all of them are carp-fishing,
car-fixing hillbillies.
Some of them are chauvinistic, conceited,
football-playing buffoons.
You should be worried about that too.
Excellent point.
Is my mom coming soon?
You know, I left a message,
but why don't I try her again, okay?
Baby, you poor thing.
- Are you in pain? - A little bit.
But I'm just glad you're here now.
- I'm Dr. Hart. - Hi.
Scarlett's left ulna is fractured,
but it's a simple break. I can set it in no time.
Well, thank you for taking care of my daughter, Dr. Hart,
but I think we should go to the hospital.
I am a surgeon.
I can set that arm just as well as anyone in Mobile.
Well, no offense. But I'd be more comfortable there.
- Mom! - Come on.
Well, obviously it's your decision,
but I am excellent at setting bones.
Even my boss, who generally begrudges
complimenting me, would agree.
Unfortunately, he's not here right now.
Please? Just let Dr. Hart just do this.
Well, all right.
Great. Because she's panicked about having a boy.
And I was just telling her she should be.
All Alabama boys are the worst. Besides Dad.
Well, that's my Scarlett.
Never been one to shy from the truth.
Well, we have that in common.
I bet he makes a mean tight end.
Promise me you'll let me be the one
to teach Lil Wade the drums.
- Of course, pal. - Yeah.
Okay, Wade, I need your help. And it's urgent.
Magnolia has taken up with a cretin of a rodeo clown.
And I need you to teach him one of your lessons in civility.
Look, Lemon, all guys are creeps at that age.
So? I don't want this creep anywhere near my sister.
How am I supposed to find him?
He will be coming here in an hour.
I told him you will give him free beer,
which you will, non-alcoholic.
And you will subtly convince him to leave town
while Magnolia and I have dinner with our father.
God, life was so much simpler before you and I became friends.
Thank you.
- Hello. - Hello.
You gonna explain the outfit or?
It's for the Gainey party. We ran into a wall
with Scooter McGreevy, but don't worry.
- All will be rectified soon. - Great.
AnnaBeth. You look adorable.
Thank you, Lemon.
Actually, you look beautiful.
You ready to go to a party?
Wait. Wait.
You two are going to the party together?
That's really none of your concern.
- Shall we? - Yes.
Gosh, look how cute they look.
I really hope they're getting back together.
- I'm gonna kill him! - Me too!
GT's here. He can help.
And bail us out when we go to jail.
Okay, hold on. What's going on?
Scooter took me to dinner, but he didn't propose.
Well, maybe he'll do it another time, Tans.
No, he won't live to get the chance.
Turns out he's seeing someone else,
someone from work.
Melissa Lynn. She's a paralegal.
He says he loves her.
That freaking weasel.
Next time I see him I'm gonna wring his neck.
I'm gonna wring his insides.
What kind of fool name is Scooter?
Yeah, good point, Chicken.
He's not good enough to be a Truitt.
I loved him, he just... He didn't love me back.
Because he's a moron.
A soon-to-be-sorry moron.
Hey, Tans, we're your brothers. We're gonna fix this.
- But first we need to get drunk. - Sounds like a good idea.
- Good idea. - That's why I love you guys.
- Then we'll steal Scooter's car. - Illegal.
- Then we'll smash his windows. - Illegal.
Then we're gonna let the air out of McGreevy's tires.
- Possibly. - All right!
- Let's do it! - Cheers.
Good luck with the baby, Dr. Hart. You're gonna be a great mom.
Yes, children are life-changing.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
Dr. Hart, have you seen?
Brick, this is Scarlett and this is Mrs...
Kincaid. Nice to meet you.
Okay, baby, let's go.
Brick? Are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost.
- That's Alice. - Alice, as in...
Alice, my ex-wife.
Shut the front door!
- Here. - Thank you.
Well, that was a shock.
Clearly, Mrs. Kincaid hadn't let her new family know
about her old family.
I've imagined that moment so many times inside my head,
but instead of saying what I have been sitting on
all these years...
I just shook her hand. After 15 years.
She just seemed so normal.
I wish I would have known who she was.
I would have stabbed her with a measles vaccine.
I'm so sorry.
I'm okay. Thank you, Zoe.
I think it goes without saying we won't mention this
to Lemon and Magnolia.
No, of course not.
And Brick?
For what it's worth, it was her loss entirely.
Hell, yeah.
Okay, okay, let's review the plan.
Okay. Wait until Mayor Gainey is in a good mood-slash-drunk
and we amble over.
And butter him up with some small talk.
Casually segue the conversation over to football.
Yeah, then I'll say, "What a bummer it is
neither of us can host the State Championship game alone."
And then, casually, I suggest a merger.
- Let's do this. - All right.
- Okay, where is he? - I don't know.
Where is he? There he is.
Why does he look like he is not in a good mood or drunk?
Mayor Gainey, hello.
You look very handsome. Are those new boots?
Out of all the low-life things you've done,
this takes the cake. Security!
Whoa, wait, no, no. You don't understand.
I understand perfectly.
You're crashing my wife's birthday party
to get me to co-host some damn football game.
Yeah, Scooter already filled me in
on your cockamamie plan.
- Well... - Nonsense. I invited them.
AnnaBeth, I am so thrilled you could make it.
Todd, it is my birthday party and I wanted AnnaBeth here.
And if she wanted to bring her boyfriend, so be it.
Maybe it's time for you two to bury the hatchet.
Yeah, Mrs. Gainey is right. I'm here with my girlfriend.
So what say we try and bury the hatchet, Todd?
Mayor Gainey to you and I ain't making no promises.
- Come join us at our table. - Thank you.
- Give me the pen, stick the pen in. - I don't have a pen.
What, do I look like I'm made of pens?
No, but you should carry a pen at all times.
What if you need a pen in an emergency...
Look, there is Scooter and his new girlfriend.
That is not a flattering look on her.
You should have seen my costume for this thing. It was hot.
- Do you still have this costume? - It's in my trunk.
Okay. Well, let's get it
and let's make Scooter pay for this mistake.
We'll man the getaway car.
No worries. I'm designated driver.
Sir. Sir, sir. Sir, sir.
Twenty dollars for your costume.
- You look good! - Go, GT!
I can't believe you sent Chet out. I wanted him to meet Daddy.
- Really? - Yes.
Daddy is more reasonable than you think.
Okay, just because we convinced Daddy to try asparagus
does not mean he's going to allow his teenage daughter
to run off with a rodeo clown.
He is not a clown. He is a steer roper.
Hey.
Magnolia, you are so grown-up.
Just give me a big hug, all right?
Lemonade, you, too. Group hug, here.
I'm so glad to see my girls. My sweet girls.
Daddy, are you dying or something?
No. I am great. I'm just happy to see the two of you.
Now, Magnolia, tell me everything that's going on.
I wanna hear it all.
This party's swanky.
Look at that food spread. I'm hungry.
Quick snack, then we get Scooter.
That's a good idea.
Hello, there, Scott. How's your night?
- How did you get in here? - I was on the list.
Guess you forgot to have them scratch my name.
You remember my date, George Tucker?
I can't believe you watch it! Do you know I know him?
Come on, Lavon. You know Don Todd?
Very well, actually. Here, wait. Let me show you some texts.
Wait until you see this, Todd.
What the hell are George and Tansy doing here?
I don't know. Who cares?
All right, now, he's on a journey of self-discovery.
He calls it Don Todd's Love Safari.
You see, that's a picture of a girl he met in the Bahamas.
I hope it doesn't bother you seeing me here with George.
Certainly doesn't bother me seeing you with Melissa Lynn,
that back-stabbing jezebel.
You see the kangaroo in the background?
- I sure do. - I'm gonna go get a drink.
Now, this one's my favorite. Right there. See them snakes?
You know Don Todd.
So you work for the rodeo? That must be cool.
Ride the horses, meet the ladies.
- You know how it is. - Oh, I know how it is. Yeah.
But you got a girlfriend now. Maybe it's time you reform.
What girlfriend are you referring to exactly?
Magnolia Breeland.
I assure you, she's not my girlfriend.
- We're just having fun. - Does she know that?
I'm 17 years old. I look like this.
Gonna live the life I was meant to.
Yeah. Well, listen, Chet.
You're gonna live the life I let you live.
And that means staying far, far away from Magnolia.
What are you gonna do about it, old man?
"Old man"? "Old man"?
Listen, you arrogant, obnoxious little...
Why are you staring at me? That ain't cool.
I mean it. You're creeping me out.
Don't move.
- What's going on? - Zoe, I am freaking out.
- About what? - Well, I just met Chet,
Magnolia's little boyfriend,
this cocky, annoying little bastard
who thinks he's God's gift to women
because he rides bulls at the rodeo.
I have a feeling I know where you're going with this.
Zoe, he's me. He's younger me.
And we have to raise one of those.
And what with Crazy Earl
and your absent father, no offense.
- None taken. - We don't have any role models.
Zoe, don't you see? Our son's gonna be a grade-A butt yank.
Yes. Thank you for pointing out
what I already knew this morning.
- I have to go, okay? - Wait. I'm...
Dr. Hart.
Mrs. Kincaid, what are you doing here?
I was hoping to talk with Dr. Breeland.
What? Why?
- He told you who I am? - Yes. Yes, he did.
Look,
I had no choice but to come here today, you realize that.
I did a... terrible thing.
For 15 years, I've lived with that. With that guilt.
But seeing Brick just made me realize
that I need to explain myself.
For them.
Would you please just tell him I stopped by?
So things seem to be going pretty well
between Lavon and Mayor Gainey.
Seriously? Why are you even here, George?
- I'm here with Tansy. - Yeah, I noticed that.
Heard she and Scooter broke up.
Looks like you two had quite the adorable reunion.
No, I'm here with Tansy
because Scooter was cheating on her
and we're trying to make him jealous.
But you, you are the one that's over there
- holding hands with Mayor Hayes! - That is none of your business.
Lavon can't possibly be over Lemon.
You know it and I know it.
So, why would you be holding his hand?
Because we had to pretend to be a couple
in order to get to Gainey!
Well, Lavon shouldn't be doing that!
He knows how you feel about him,
and he should not be leading you on!
He's not leading me on.
I am completely over Lavon Hayes!
- Wait. What? You are? - Yes! And you know how I know?
Because the second you walked in the door with Tansy,
I couldn't stop wanting to murder you!
- So, you do like me? - Yes! You moron!
Look, it is no secret how I feel about you, McGreevy, but...
I do owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
Is that right?
Yeah, you breaking up with Tansy? That is a gift.
Tansy Truitt is a bona fide catch.
I mean, a girl like that doesn't come along all that often.
She's funny, she's sweet, she's clever as a whip.
The kind of girl that keeps you on your toes.
You shouldn't let a girl like that slip through your fingers.
I certainly won't again.
But you enjoy your new paramour.
She seems predictable.
Well, gentlemen,
I think it's time we all talk a little football.
The man knows Don Todd. I think we need to hear him out.
I agree! What's the point of anything,
if you can't walk around your own house nude?
Excuse me, one moment.
Gloria, I am so sorry I lied to you about being with Lavon.
He is here to talk Mayor Gainey
into co-hosting the state football game.
I do not appreciate being put in the middle of their feud,
again, on my birthday.
No, I know you're right,
and you have been such a great friend to me, Gloria.
I shouldn't have let you down like that.
Excuse me, I need to mingle.
- I hope I'm not interrupting. - Dr. Hart...
crashing yet another Breeland family event.
Or are you just here for the roast?
I am hungry.
But there's a problem with a patient.
And Brick, I really need to consult with you.
Sorry, but if there's any leftover roast,
I am eating for two.
- What is going on? - Alice came by.
What?
I don't think that she'll come to the house.
But I think she wants to make amends.
Not that she deserves forgiveness.
Because she doesn't. Here's her card.
Look, maybe I was worth leaving at the time.
But those girls?
No. You don't... You just... You stay.
Look, I have been there every day for those girls,
and doing what parents are supposed to do.
You know, just trying your best.
So the parade in BlueBell, the game right here in Fillmore.
Now, this endeavor could be extremely beneficial
for both our towns.
Personally, I'd rather swallow my own fist
than team with BlueBell.
But Mayor Gainey, obviously, the decision is yours.
Well, I always like to err on the side
that's gonna make me richer.
And I do own the hot dog franchise in the stadium,
so, let's do it.
There's something you need to know.
Yes, dear?
It's my birthday and I want to dance.
That ambrosia salad looks divine.
And those teeny, tiny marshmallows!
Tansy.
Seeing you with Tucker tonight,
I've realized I've made a terrible mistake.
I want to unbreak up. Please.
Are you serious? Come here, then.
Hey, Lavon, I want you to know
that this alliance is purely temporary.
I still hate you and always will.
Likewise.
Hey, thanks for tonight. We did it!
We got ourselves a football game. Yeah.
- And I had fun. - Me, too.
And it definitely cleared some stuff up for me, too.
Which is why I have to go.
Where is Chet?
I haven't heard from him in two hours.
- Maybe he's come to his senses. - What is that supposed to mean?
It means, I had Wade give him a little talking to.
You did what?
Daddy! Daddy, you are not going to believe...
- You're leaving? - Where are you going?
Well, I'm sorry, but I have a patient.
And I wouldn't leave if it wasn't important,
but this patient has issues and I have questions.
Long time questions
that I have to get the answers to.
So, I will see you when I get back.
I'm going to go find Chet.
Hi. It's Brick. I can meet now.
And I'll be at the office.
You should have seen this kid, Zoe.
He was arrogant and spoiled and...
You know, maybe they made a mistake.
Maybe there was, like, a freaky tail or something.
That would actually be kind of cool.
- No. - Then we are up Christmas Creek.
We might be.
But the good news is that we are in this together.
Now, all we can do is our best.
And if we just be there every day and do the work,
read, like, a zillion books,
and maybe ban crossbows from our house.
Then maybe we can avoid making our own little Truitt brothers.
- Or Chet. So bad. - So bad.
- You feel better now? - Yeah.
But there is one more thing I need to do
before I am all the way better.
Does it involve me taking off my clothes?
For once, good doctor, it does not.
AnnaBeth! Come in.
- I'm so glad to see you. - Look, Lemon.
You are not always easy and you are a giant meddler.
That is occasionally true.
Mm-hm.
And I was very irritated, I think is the right word,
when you used George and I as pawns to get what you want.
But you're my best friend, and I want you to be happy.
Lavon loves you, you love Lavon. It is plain as day.
- Then what are you saying? - Well, I'm saying...
No, I am demanding,
that you go and find him and tell him that.
Right now!
Go!
You see, riding bulls, it's all in the hips.
Hey, Elvis, time for a lesson in civility.
Whoa! We're just talking, bro.
Shut up, Chet. Just shut up, okay?
See, I get you. I get you deeply.
But Magnolia, she's a good girl,
and she is way better than all this.
Man, this is getting weird.
You obsessed with me or something?
Yeah, that's it. I'm obsessed with you. Come on.
Thanks, Wade, but I think I can take it from here.
You worthless worm.
You're not gonna be able to see or pee by the time
I'm through with you, so you better run! Run!
Give me my bat.
You know, come to think of it,
raising an Alabama girl looks pretty darn complicated, too.
True. Very true.
- AnnaBeth. Hi. - Hi.
I'm here because I think we should take a chance.
Well, if your offer still stands.
And, I'd really love to go on a date with you, George Tucker.
Well, I would really love that, too.
- Good. - Great.
- Okay. - I'll see you then.
- Yes, you will. Okay. - Okay.
- Evening, Maybelline. - Hi, Lemon.
Lovely night, isn't it?
