Believe me, I know how you feel.
Oh, you do, huh?
Let me know how you feel when you're 17 months pregnant.
I have some news. George and I are going out tomorrow on a date.
I realize us dating each other's exes is stranger
than a three-legged dog in a horse race
but that's BlueBell, right?
AB gave me her blessing to be with you.
But right now everything that's going on with my family,
- I just... - Stop.
Lemon Breeland, I am all in. And I will wait.
Frank, a little help here.
Ripped By mstoll
Oh, Lemon. How are things going?
How's everything with Scarlett?
Great. She's adorable.
I've been really enjoying getting to know her
- this past month. - Well, that's nice to hear.
Actually, this is awkward because...
...this is mine.
- What is? - The diaper pail.
What? No, it's not. Because I'm buying it
for Tom and Wanda's new baby.
Actually, I am buying it for Tom and Wanda's new baby.
I reserved it two days ago.
- Didn't I, Frank? - Yes. Yes, you did.
"Reserved it"? Oh, come on.
I have a gift for forethought.
Well, what am I supposed to get Tom and Wanda?
You could always go to the Baby Barn in Mobile.
I don't have time to go to Mobile. You go to Mobile.
I actually don't need to go to Mobile
because I have my gift right here. So...
Frank, I'm seven months pregnant,
and I can't drive halfway across the state.
What if I go into labor all alone
on the side of the road?
Dr. Hart does have a point.
So what am I supposed to give Tom and Wanda?
I got this.
It has one eye.
Maybe you can find one with two eyes at Baby Barn.
Thank you.
So, you wanna get dinner tonight?
Yes, dinner. And then breakfast?
Sounds like a good idea.
I'm sorry, Rev. Mayfair.
Oh, don't mind me. I didn't hear a thing.
But if you are looking for a breakfast place,
I recommend Cora's Kitchen over in Fairhope.
No way.
Oh, my. That's amazing.
- Oh, well, go tell him. - Yeah. Yeah.
Meatball.
My favorite client. I have some news.
Wade bumped me again.
No. No, quite the opposite, actually.
Do you remember when I told you
I got a pal that works up at Big Machine Records?
Kind of. I don't always listen when you talk.
Okay. Well, listen now,
because we have a meeting with a record label.
George Tucker,
you're the greatest manager of all time.
Okay, okay. Yeah, you know what, we should go.
Now, we got to think of things to say,
we got to re-track some things on your demo.
Help me squeeze into my skinny jeans.
- Okay. - Good luck.
Thanks, baby.
- So you're good? - So good.
Having a baby is amazing.
Exhausting. Very exhausting. But amazing.
I haven't had time to check my e-mail,
or go through my DVR queue, or take a shower, or pee, or eat.
I haven't checked the barn since the rain last night.
I'm sure it didn't flood.
Dr. Hart, I'm so glad you're here.
I've got a million questions.
Is Froda's belly button healing? She has this rash thing.
- And is she eating enough? - How do we even know?
Well, why don't you let me take a look. Wade, here.
Me? Well, I'm...
You've never held a baby before?
You are gonna love it.
It's the most joyous, magical... But don't you dare drop my baby.
Okay.
- Easy. Easy, easy. - Okay.
- It's okay. Okay. - You got her.
All right. And blankie.
Look at that. I'm a natural.
- Hold her head. - Hold her head.
- Okay. - He's got it.
Okay. All right, Zoe's gonna look after you.
Hi, Lemon.
Hi, Lavon.
How are things going in there?
Oh, well, Tom and Wanda are a bit overwhelmed.
I'm gonna hold a town meeting,
see if we can all pitch in and help them out.
Oh, that's a lovely idea.
So, you good?
Things good?
Yeah. I'm good. Things are good.
Oh, there's AB. I have to go. Bye.
And, obviously, Lavon is waiting for you to make a move.
I know, AB. But what am I supposed to do?
Just walk up to the man and say,
"Hey, Lavon, so glad the rain has stopped.
I'm ready for a relationship."
- Yes. - Sounds good to me.
Think I'll run these inside.
No. Me getting together with Lavon
has to be like the perfect movie moment,
with wine and twinkly lights,
with just the right song
coming on at just the right time,
and the perfect dress.
Okay. Well, go out and buy the gosh darn dress, Lemon,
and make your move.
I mean, it's time.
You deserve your happily ever after, too.
Well, skin's a little dry
but baby Froda is perfect, Wanda.
- This rocking chair's amazing. - Isn't it wonderful?
It was my Great Grandma Maggie's.
Every woman in my family has had it.
I was rocked in it, my mother was rocked in it.
And now it's my little girl's turn.
- That's beautiful. - I know.
Heads up.
Hormones get worse after the baby.
Oh, Brick, honey, there you are.
Do you think you could watch Ethel for a bit?
I've got to go pick up those new lamps
for the bedroom.
Oh, Magnolia and I would love to.
Ooh, sorry, Dad. Scarlett and I are getting our nails done. Bye.
Oh!
- Bye, honey. - Bye.
Bye, baby.
There is something fishy going on here, Ethel.
Nobody has mentioned my birthday all week.
What these girls have up their sleeves?
Oh, is that right? A big party?
Oh, a surprise party?
Atown meeting?
They're trying to throw me off the scent
by doing it a day early.
Amateurs.
Well, Ethel, shall you and I go get ready?
Oh, a surprise party. For me?
How was that? Pretty good, right?
So, now, in true BlueBell spirit,
we will all pitch in and help Tom and Wanda out.
I know money's tight
and, as you know, Tom is out of commission
from all of his many, many occupations.
So this will be a big endeavor
but together we'll be able to get them
through this joyous but difficult time.
You mean this really is a town meeting?
Of course it is. What'd you think it was?
So each of you will be assigned one of Tom's jobs.
Now, first up, driving the Blue-Ber.
That's Tom's car service.
Zach Drucker.
- I rise to the challenge. - All right.
His shift at the Dixie Stop, Magnolia Breeland.
His position as George's legal assistant
will be filled by...
...AnnaBeth Nass.
All right.
Isn't that cute?
Hey, you okay?
Yeah, it's just that rocking chair made me realize
that I have nothing to pass down to my child.
Can't you ask your mom for something?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Here, son, cuddle with these stock certificates
or this Birkin bag.
My mom says sentimentality is for the bridge and tunnel crowd.
And I didn't know Harley, so...
...our son's gonna have no sense of family or tradition.
Look, I can't promise anything
but I will go over to Earl's today
and I'll see if I can find something, all right?
Dash DeWitt, you will fill in as the school crossing guard.
Oh, how festive.
Brick Breeland, you will fill in for Tom
as the clown at Jimmy's birthday party tomorrow.
Oh, no, no, I can't. See, tomorrow...
Brick, it's not about you.
It's about helping Tom and Wanda out.
- Daddy. - And the smelliest job.
Now, Tom and Wanda's barn needs tending to,
so tonight's barn duty goes to...
...Zoe Hart.
I'd love to help
but I need a job where I can sit
away from animal feces.
Right. You can take Tom's shift at the library.
Okay, tonight's barn duty goes to...
...Lemon Breeland.
What? Seriously?
Stupid Zoe Hart.
What is going on in here?
And what is that smell?
Barn flooded last night during the rainstorm
so be careful.
It's slippery.
Okay, slow down, buddy. Slow down, slow down, slow down.
Whoa, whoa, careful.
C3PO doesn't have any teeth but she'll slobber all over you.
Yes, what's a little alpaca slobber at this point?
I'm a wreck.
You know, thanks for being a trouper.
And if it's any consolation,
you even make mud look good, Lemon Breeland.
But I should... Yeah, I should probably...
Wait.
Lavon,
I've been waiting for the perfect moment
and I certainly didn't think that it'd be a time
where I'm covered in alpaca droppings and mud
but I just cannot wait any longer because...
...I love you.
- After you. - Thank you.
Was there some kind of zombie apocalypse?
Oh, where are the pancakes and the pastries?
What happened here?
Maybe Lavon had some kind of, like, emergency mayor thing.
Don't worry sweets, all right?
Kick up your feet. I'm gonna make breakfast.
Cereal and fruit?
Lavon always makes the strawberries
into a smiley face.
Cereal and fruit is fine.
So...
...I stopped by Earl's yesterday.
Yeah?
The only heirlooms he's got are a neon beer sign
that he set up as the night light over my crib
and a blanket I didn't recognize
that smelled vaguely like armadillo.
Oh!
But don't worry, all right? I got this covered, Doc.
Operation heirloom will not be met with failure, all right?
There you are. And with the pastries.
What, did you go to the Butter Stick in your pajamas?
The pastries were outside the front door
where they get delivered every day.
Oh.
Well, we were worried about you.
Well, I just slept in.
- You never sleep in. - Well, I had a big night.
What do you mean, you had a big...
Try to contain your enthusiasm.
She's just excited.
Take it you two are an item now.
Yes. Yes, we are.
Yay, that is so great.
Oh, I always put my feet here.
You belong in the barn
and yet I had to cover your shift.
Really? You two are still doing that?
I thought we moved past this.
That's the beauty of our relationship, Lavon.
We never move past this. Right, Lemon?
Move.
Oh, no. No, not that one.
See, there's only one buttermilk muffin.
Yes. That is correct. And now it is mine.
Well, actually, it's for me,
because, as you can see, I'm eating for two.
Oh, no. You are not playing that card with me.
This is my boyfriend's house and these are his pastries so...
I'm her boyfriend.
Well, isn't this nice?
All of us, together, under one roof.
You're right. You know, this is Lavon's house,
he is your boyfriend.
- I am thrilled for you both. - You are?
- You animal! - Zoe.
- All's fair in love and pastry. - Seriously?
This is gonna be fun.
- Hello, baby. - Yeah.
- Hello, Bricky Brack. - Hi.
I'm sorry we can't all have breakfast together.
- Ethel and I have baby class. - Baby class?
Then I have to go do Wanda's baby's star chart.
I have to fill in at the Dixie Stop. Bye, Dad.
We left you a plate, hon. Oh, come here, baby.
Well, that's it? That's all you got to say to me?
Don't forget to get your clown costume
for Jimmy's birthday party.
They freaking forgot my birthday.
I have those briefs for you, Mr. Tucker.
Right under here.
Man, you are so much better at this job than Tom Long.
Oh, well, I certainly hope so.
- I'm so sorry. - Hi.
Hi, Harold, Clora.
- What's going on in here? - I can explain.
- You and AnnaBeth Nass? - Honestly.
After Lemon, and Tansy, and that crazy-eyed Lynly?
- Okay, Mom, Dad... - No need to explain, son.
We are so thrilled.
Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry.
All right.
- I know. Not my finest moment. - No, it was not.
Well, I don t know what to tell you. That woman drives me insane.
She's maddening.
True, but she's my best friend
- and she is not going... ...anywhere, all right?
Lavon seems to be serious about her,
and for all I know, that may well have been
the first breakfast of the rest of our lives.
We cannot sully the sanctity of breakfast.
Lavon loves breakfast, and you love Lavon,
and Lemon isn't that bad.
So, we'll figure out a way to get along?
- Well, you have no choice. - Fine. I'll try.
I will.
But I ask of you two things.
You will tell my father about us.
I do not want him reading about it on the Blawker.
You will kiss me.
Right now.
That little Jimmy is the devil.
Hey, hold that thought, Doc.
Oh, he and his hooligan friends they threw cookies at me
because I could only make two balloon animals.
Oh, your worm and your little snake,
"they're exactly the same." You ingrates.
Zach, I appreciate you're not texting
and driving at the same time
but if you do not mind, I am in kind of a hurry to get home.
Yeah, slight change of plans. We got to stop in Fairhope.
My bookie has a run on some ponies
and I need to get in on that action.
No, no, no. We aren't going to Fairhope.
Last I checked, I was the one in the driver's seat.
Never mind. I'll walk. I'll get out and walk.
Thank you for choosing Blue-Ber.
Lemon, hello. Don't you look nice.
Like Glinda, the good witch of the... Whatever.
As you. You look very nice.
That smock suits your...
...quirky sense of style.
Well, it's not a smock
but I'll chalk that up to our cultural differences.
Anyhoo, I was wondering
if perhaps you would like to go on a girl date.
Funny. I was about to come and ask you the same thing.
Even so, I will let you pick the place.
Great. How about we go to the restaurant supply store?
- I need a colander. - Veto.
How about we go hear Dr. Warren, world famous urologist,
give a speech on kidney stones at Mobile Hospital?
Veto.
Want to try my new mobile spa?
- Spa day? - Why not?
Great. Meet you there in an hour.
Yeah, stay away from my sunflowers.
Birds can be cute but they're wild.
Listen, Aunt Win, I was hoping you could help me with something.
Sure, sugar. What do you need?
Zoe's got her heart set
on having something of Harley's for the baby.
I wish I could help you, hon,
but we didn't even know Harley had a kid.
When he passed, we just gave his things to charity.
So, everything's gone?
Actually, he had a couple
of those Norman Rockwell prints up in the office.
You know, the ones with the little boy,
you know, seeing the doctor.
I bet those'd look cute in a nursery, you know?
Yeah. Yeah, I seem to remember those.
Haven't seen them hanging around though recently.
I'm sure Brick's just got them stashed somewhere.
You should ask him.
Just make sure you butter him up first.
Don't you worry about me.
I know how to handle Brick. Come on, give me a shot.
Yeah. You want to pump it first? Okay?
I know. Come on, sucker.
Awful generous of everyone pitching in like this.
- Isn't it, Tom? - So, so generous.
I'm gonna put this one down for a nap.
Lavon, you are mayor, so you should know.
The people of your town are total booberheads.
Excuse my language.
What's going on, Tom?
Well, thanks to everyone's quote, unquote, "generosity"
my professional reputation is going to crap
in a crap basket.
Little Zach got me two one-star rides
and sank my Blue-Ber rating on Yelp.
While Magnolia Breeland was on duty,
someone shoplifted at the Dixie Stop.
And Brick, Brick made little Jimmy cry
by threatening to stick a snake and a worm up his nostrils
to turn him into a walrus.
Like Jimmy's parents, I, too, am confused and upset.
Well, hey, your alpacas are warm and safe.
They were nearly drowned
because I shirked my responsibilities.
They could have alpaca trauma.
They might have APTSD.
Now, my paternity leave ends now.
Tell Wanda I'll be back when I'm back.
I'm not letting some baby stop me
from providing for my family.
Those are my keys.
Yeah.
So, I took them to court and long story short...
You call this short?
...they gave Sgt. Jeffries his 500 bucks.
You should pitch John Grisham that story for his next novel.
- Harold, be nice. - Actually, George has had
some exciting new career opportunities.
- He's managing the... - Hardened criminals.
Yeah. There was a murder case, actually.
A murder? In BlueBell? I didn't read about that.
That's because it was... it was...
...a cat that was murdered by a dog.
You know, mortal enemies, those two species.
Oh, Harold, look, it's the McAlisters.
We should say hello.
- A cat murder? - Yeah, I know.
All right, listen, my parents already disapprove of me enough.
There's no way I'm gonna tell them
I'm managing Meatball and the Truitts.
Oh, speaking of which,
Meatball's meeting with a record label in a half hour.
- I got to go. - Oh, no, no, no.
You are not leaving me here alone with your parents.
- Who's ready for some lunch? - Actually...
You know what, Pops,
AnnaBeth has a really big nursing test
she's got to study for and I got to get back to the office
so we'll do dinner?
- Okay, great. - Bye.
So, what'll it be?
Hot stone massage? Brazilian?
- I'll just take a pedicure. - Okay, all right.
Could you just lean this way a little bit?
To evenly balance out Le Spa. It's a little tippy.
I'll be right back with your aromatherapy foot pack.
So, here we are.
- Are you ready? - Yes, I am.
Okay, great, because I brought what I feel
is an excellent icebreaker.
- Oh, as did I. - Cool.
Ah, ta-da!
What is that?
Each page is a veritable cornucopia of girl talk topics.
Kris Jenner pumps her own gas. They're just like us.
What's that?
My list of demands.
I thought that this was a sit-down.
- A negotiation. - What is this, the mafia?
I understand if you're intimidated
by my negotiation skills,
as I am a very successful businesswoman.
What's on the list?
First off, I want breakfast, alone, with Lavon
- three days a week. - "Three days a week"?
No way. I eat breakfast with Lavon every day
with my smiley face fruit plate.
All right, lemongrass or lavender?
I want dinner twice a week. Sundays.
Oh, no, not Sundays.
We eat dinner with my family on Sundays.
The lavender's very relaxing.
On Sundays, we watch So You Think You Can Dance.
- We save it up all week. - Well, not anymore you don't.
Lemongrass it is.
I've always admired you, Brick.
See, most men go for their natural color
when they start covering up their gray.
Oh, Harold, just as hilarious as ever. Clora.
So this what the Bama fans are all wearing now, is it?
Maybe because your players are all such clowns?
Scotch, neat. Keep them coming.
There's a big tip for you
if you keep George Tucker's parents far, far away from me.
That's George Tucker's parents?
We got to go introduce ourselves.
They're gonna wanna know all about our next song.
Rudy, you got your harmonica?
Get ready to play "Were-Raccoon Two".
Reba's revenge.
Whatever are you doing down there, AnnaBeth?
Yeah...
...I dropped my flash cards.
Slippery little devils.
Hungry? Because I recommend the crullers.
We're not here for the crullers, dear.
We have just met the most interesting characters.
They call themselves the Truitt Brothers.
What do you have to say about that?
That's... I don't know.
Hey, Brick.
How's your day going?
I'm in a clown suit drinking my lunch.
How do you think?
Oh.
Well, hey, let's turn that around.
How about you and I go fishing?
Fishing with Brick. Well, I'm in, too.
I didn't invite...
That sounds like the most fun ever.
Look, I have known you both for years.
You never once asked me to go fishing.
Well, you know, I thought today of all days
would be a good day to start.
- "Today of all days." - Yeah.
Today of all day...
Well, since you put it that way, I would love to.
- All right. - All right.
Oh, no, Mondays are non-negotiable.
Wade closes the Rammer Jammer late,
and Lavon and I watch a movie.
I close Fancie's early on Monday,
which is why I am not budging.
You mind keeping your voices down?
You're disturbing the chi.
- You can have Tuesdays. - Everybody knows
that there is nothing going on in this town on a Tuesday.
- Why are you so infuriating? - You are the one that's infuriating!
This is a negotiation but you are not negotiating.
That's because I don't want anything to change.
Lavon is my best friend.
He is the closest thing that I have to family in BlueBell.
And I really need family right now.
I moved here for a sense of belonging
because my father started a practice here.
I never knew Harley,
and not a day goes by where
I don't think how he came to my graduation
and I just... I blew him off.
And now I'll never be able to tell my son what he was like
and I don't have a single thing of his to pass down.
I don't know why I'm telling you all this.
How much further is this "fishing hole" of yours?
- Oh, it's right up here. - Okay.
Why's he talking in air quotes?
Yeah, and why's he wearing a fishing vest
over a three-piece suit?
All right, boys, let's do this.
- Here we are. - Best fishing hole for miles.
You mean to say you brought me all this way...
...for fishing?
Yeah, that's what we meant when we asked you to go fishing.
- Are you okay? - I'm absolutely fine.
All right, all right, we're here to fish.
Well, why don't you two just shut up and fish?
What up, Tom?
You look a little deranged.
I hereby relieve you of your driving duties,
- Little Zach Drucker. - Wait, excuse me?
Blue-Ber is a serious enterprise.
We pride ourselves on being friendly
and courteous and efficient.
And making pit stops at your bookie is not efficient.
Or courteous.
Fine! All right, fine! You knock yourself out!
I got better things to do anyway!
Meatball here has a very clear vision
of who he wants to be as an artist.
Well, at Big Machine,
we give our artists complete creative control.
That way, your connection with your audience stays real.
Even when you're playing stadium shows.
Great, so what are the next steps here?
I have my meeting
with the president of the company on Friday.
Your demo will be the first thing I play him.
And if he likes it?
Well, then you boys are looking at a record deal.
I'll be in touch.
Thank you very much. All right.
Have a great day.
- Record deal? - Record deal?
- Record deal! Record deal! - Record deal! Record deal!
Oh, hi, everybody.
He does look a bit like a meatball.
Everybody says that.
Thanks so much for the hand-me-downs, Shelby.
And, may I say, it's an honor to have you in our home.
Well, baby girl clothes are my Achilles' heel.
I spent a fortune on them.
And I know your Froda's gonna look as gorgeous
as my Ethel in that.
Now, let's talk star charts.
Knowing your baby's astrological position
will help you be a better parent.
I thought so.
Can you believe her?
She wants four nights a week with Lavon, alone.
Including Sundays and Mondays.
Well, they are rumored to be lovers.
She's completely monopolizing my best friend.
Well, it's natural she'd want some time alone with her lover.
Can you please stop saying "lover"? I'm trying to eat here.
Well, didn't you and Wade want some alone time
when you first started...
...liking one another while naked?
I'm gonna need more sprinkles.
Hey, Brick.
You know, you are a smart man.
Yeah, a wise man. A good man.
Yeah, I, too, aspire to be smart and wise and good.
Brick, you are all those things Lavon just said.
And I actually would like to name
a specialty cocktail after you at the Rammer Jammer.
You know, something whiskey-based, naturally.
- "The Brick Breeland." - Yeah.
It has a nice ring to it. I'd be honored.
He is really a nice fella.
Well, Brick brought me into this world,
it's the least I could do.
Speaking of our shared history,
you don't happen to know
what became of those Norman Rockwell prints
used to be hanging up in Harley's office, do you?
- Those were something, weren't they? - Oh, yeah.
Sold them in a charity auction few years ago.
- They went for a mint. - Yeah, that figures.
You know who else is charitable, is my old friend Lavon.
Yeah. He is a very, very good guy, don't you think?
Any lady would be lucky to have him.
Why, thank you, Wade.
You know, I do pride myself on being a decent person.
And one who doesn't enter into things lightly.
What in heaven's name is going on here?
Okay, look...
...I want you to hear it from me.
I have started dating your daughter.
And I love her, sir.
Which daughter?
Lemon. Of course, Lemon.
Oh, that's what this is all about, huh?
You want my blessing so you can date Lemon.
And you want some paintings, huh?
You nitwits, you drag me up here
so you could butter me up
because you want something from me.
You want something.
This is all about you, right?
Because today is just about everyone else.
Hey, Brick, what's going on?
Today happens to be my birthday, you horse puckies.
Now, Froda was born on the 10th, which makes her a Saturn rising.
Froda was born on the 11th.
You said she was born five days ago
- and today's the 15th. - Today's the 16th.
The 16th of... Why does that ring a bell?
Son of a biscuit.
Baby Ethel, you got your bib.
Yay.
Fudge sticks up a fudge tree. We forgot Daddy's birthday.
Oh, yeah, we are.
Tom! Wake up!
Stop! Tom!
- Hey! Wake up! - Wake up!
Somebody stop that car.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
My mobile spa is in shambles.
And I've only had two customers.
I got lemongrass oil in my eyes.
Lemon? Lemon? Lemon, are you in there?
- Zoe? Zoe? - Lemon.
Where's Zoe? Zoe. Oh, thank heavens.
- You're okay. - Oh, God. Thank God.
You were worried about me?
What? So? You were worried about me.
Dr. Hart, come quick. Come on.
Tom?
What happened?
Well, this music management business is a hobby?
It's more like a pastime. Like, baseball.
What do you make of this, AB?
- I think he's full of it. - AnnaBeth.
Oh, you are. I don't know why you would want to hide this.
What you are doing is damn impressive.
He has taken four country bumpkins
and turned them into musicians.
I mean, he is on the verge of getting Meatball
his own record deal.
I mean, he's amazing at this
and I have never seen him this passionate about anything.
Well, I mean, I am pretty passionate about you.
Well...
Why'd you keep this from us?
Because, Dad, you never forgave me
for giving up corporate law.
And this... I mean, come on.
Son, your mom and I didn't come up here
just for a visit.
I got some news of my own.
I'm okay.
But I been let go from the firm.
- What? - Early retirement.
I spent 40 years working 80 hours a week
and what do I got to show for it?
I envy what you're doing. Following your heart.
We're proud of you, son.
Now, where's the good bourbon?
Your girlfriend and I got some Tide trash-talking to do.
You're fine.
You just need to go home and get a good night's sleep.
But the alpacas and Blue-Ber and Magnolia Breeland...
Listen, listen. Your only job right now is to rest.
This is BlueBell, and we will take care of everything else.
And I will personally make sure Magnolia Breeland
is not at the Dixie Stop.
And Wade will drive the Blue-Ber.
Will you make sure he gets home okay?
Of course, Dr. Hart. Come on.
I cede Mondays.
You and Lavon deserve alone time.
Thank you.
And for that, you can have breakfast.
Every day.
After all, who am I to deny a pregnant woman her pastries?
Thank you.
Oh, fudge sticks!
Well, apparently, we all forgot my daddy's birthday.
Man, I'm never getting a raise.
Brick. Brick. We are so sorry.
So very sorry. Look, we were idiots, especially him.
And you're not the only ones to forget my birthday.
If it's any consolation, the phone tree went off.
- Everybody remembers it now. - No, no, no. It's too late.
Okay, look, Brick, we shouldn't have taken you fishing
to curry favor with you but...
People do crazy things for love.
Right. Which is why you need
to head to Fancie's with us right now.
Oh, so I can pretend to be surprised
at some crappy last-minute party?
Well, pretty much.
I mean, otherwise, your girls are gonna feel worse.
Want to practice your surprised face?
Yeah, yeah, I do have a pretty good one.
Oh, yeah? Let's see it.
Oh! For me?
- Take it down a notch. - Yeah.
- Oh. For me? - That's good. All right.
I like that.
Surprise!
For me?
Honey, I am so, so sorry
for forgetting the celebration of the birth
of the man that we all love. It's unforgivable.
You must be furious.
I'd be steaming and demand a car.
Oh, come on, now.
You all have been so busy.
Shelby, you've been decorating our home
and watching after little baby Ethel.
Magnolia, you got a new little sister,
and helping with Tom and Wanda.
And, Lemon, she's got the best excuse of all.
She's been falling in love with a fantastic guy.
Scored the hot mayor. Nice.
Anyway, I get this lovely party.
And that cake.
How lucky can a guy be? I mean, unless you're Tony.
And also, for entertainment, Meatball has offered to play.
Meatball?
I love Meatball!
Boom. It shook the earth and the mobile spa went down.
And then I thought, what if Zoe's still in there?
What if she went back to pay Stanley?
Oh, man, I never did pay Stanley.
Then I thought, what if Lemon's in there?
And I was so worried, I dropped my ice cream.
Two scoops.
You owe me ice cream.
What?
Are you saying I'm not worth two scoops of ice cream?
If you were hurt, then totally, but you were fine.
What? Seriously?
Your parents are seriously into Meatball.
Hey, I've been meaning to ask you.
Did you really mean what you said about me
and music managing?
Hell yeah. I'm so proud of you.
You're amazing, you know that?
I'm kind of sort of falling for you, AnnaBeth Nass.
Well... right back at you, sir.
- Happy birthday, Brick. - Hey.
It is.
And the best gift is you and Lemon.
Couldn't ask for a better man for my girl to end up with.
Well, that means a lot.
But how on Earth did you two
end up an item out of nowhere like this?
Wait, seriously, you really don't know?
No, on second thought, I don't want to know.
No, no, I don't.
Here's the thing.
I knew Harley
and even though my daddy and Harley
didn't always get along,
I always thought that he was a real nice guy.
And so, if you ever...
...wanna talk about him, I'd be happy to.
Thank you. That's really sweet.
Don't get carried away.
Then there's this.
- What is this? - It's a duck.
I can see that.
Harley made that for me when I was a little girl.
And I, you know, I don't want it hanging around,
cluttering up my apartment so...
...I thought you might like it.
Thank you.
