‘Hart of Dixie’ season 3, episode 2 preview: Zoe, Wade, Lemon, and mass confusion

During tonight’s “Hart of Dixie” premiere, you had what was quite possibly one of the stranger shockers out there: That Wade and Lemon are actually pretending to be in a relationship. It’s a little bit to cover up Lemon’s secret love affair with Meatball, but it’s also something that is going to drive some residents of Bluebell completely up the wall… namely Zoe Hart. We’re all about watching some of our favorite characters progressively go insane, so with that in mind, we’re all in.

But what happens now that Zoe is back permanently, and with her new man Joel in tow? We’re going to see a few developments in next week’s “Friends in Low Places,” though we imagine that one of them will not include Joel sending anyone a plastic hand in the mail. (Sorry, “Dexter” humor.) Take a look at the synopsis below:

“Trying to be hospitable to Joel (guest star Josh Cooke), who is visiting BlueBell, Lavon (Cress Williams) and AnnaBeth (Kaitlyn Black) invite him and Zoe (Rachel Bilson) over for a quiet dinner, but when Lemon (Jaime King) meets Alabama’s most eligible bachelor, Carter Covington (guest star Ryan McPartlin, “Chuck”), she invites herself along with Carter to the soiree. However, when some unexpected guests show up to the party, Lemon’s ruse with Wade (Wilson Bethel) risks being exposed. Meanwhile, George (Scott Porter) makes a bad decision involving Lynly (guest star Antoinette Robertson, “Zero Hour”), which could ultimately ruin his friendship with Lavon.”

So what sort of “bad decision” are we talking about here? After seeing her proposition to George at the bar during the last episode it’s easy to conclude that they may have shared a night of passion. Lavon is not going to be happy to say the least.
