To serial womanizer Wade's surprise, for once only his relationship remains stable, George and Lavon are dumped and gloomy. Lemon confides only in him to pick her up firm jail, but takes forever to explain how nursing her impossibly demanding grandmother and sneakily dating both her Latino driver poet Enrique and perfect catch Carter Covington got her in trouble, which follows her to Bluebelle. To Joel's despair, Zoe enjoys finally being the center of attention of her bossy mother, who keeps criticizing him, when she takes Zoe in as PR client to demand her practice back from Brick, who won't roll over. George finds Magnolia an impossible client when asked as lawyer to talk to the dean, without the facts.
