The premiere episode opens with Zoe who wakes up beside Wade in bed. George calls her in the cel early in the morning, and a confused Zoe gets up. She ignores George's call, gets dressed and runs along to Lavon's house.
George comes in to Lavon's house in the hopes of talking to Zoe. He finds her in his kitchen having breakfast and was shocked to see him there. Wade walks in on them talking about his called-off wedding and appears to have no clue as he say he was "hands full" that night. Wade then tips George about being with Zoe. George gets the shock of his life after putting two and two together, learning that Zoe and Wade spent the night together. Zoe then explains that since she thought George is off to ride the sunset now with Lemon, she tries moving on with the help of our friendly hot neighbor, Wade. Having developed feelings now for both, she asks George for some time to think.
Zoe admits to Wade about George calling his wedding with Lemon to be with her. She also confesses that the night they were together, it was him who knocked on her door to profess his love for her. Zoe tells Wade that she felt a connection with him that night and she needs time to think, now that she's confused with her feelings. Wade, being an ass that he truly is, wouldn't admit his feelings, and tells Zoe that maybe it was just his A+ sex performance that's talking and insults Zoe as a B/B-.
Lemon wakes up becoming all Miss Independent and thinks of what to do next after getting dumped by George Tucker. Being Lemon, of course, she wouldn't wanna be seen as a pitiful damsel so she comes out to town appearing as if nothing happened. She then decides to move out of her father's home. Unfortunately, she have to get Brick to co-sign because she has no source of income. Her next step: getting a job.
Now that their local celebs George and Lemon called off their wedding, the town couldn't stop talking about it and making Zoe Hart the town's most famous home wrecker. Since she's besties with Lavon, his career too, in politics may be affected. At first, Lavon thinks that his 98.7% popularity at Bluebell, courtesy of his football career would make sure of his win for re-election. However, due to their "Zoe-Gate" scandal, his numbers may plummet.
At work, Zoe also feels the ramifications of the Zoe-Gate scandal. An old patient insists on not getting checked by Zoe, and would rather get medical attention from Brick. To his disappointment, Brick isn't at work yet. Zoe, though, finds a friend on her patient's granddaughter, Ruby. She gets to talk to her over coffee about her very public love life and gives her an advice. George comes in to talk to her in private.
Now that they're finally alone, George Tucker pours his heart out to Zoe. He owns up to the fact that he made her wait for quite some time, and that if she chooses Wade, it would totally be his fault. George assures her that he and Lemon are really over--forever. He tells Zoe that he's the girl of his dreams. He may have hurt Lemon and did things that he never imagined he could, but it's either that or regret living the rest of his life wondering what it would be without her.
Brick comes in unexpected and sees George and Zoe together. Furious, he blames Zoe for his daughter's called off wedding. George tries to defend her, but Brick doesn't wanna hear a word from him. Brick then leaves, advising Zoe she has a patient. Before George leaves, he assures her that she can get past this and choose him over Wade.
While the town cleans up after the storm, Lemon cozily sits down a bench checking for job ads. She sees Ruby and they talk about her wedding fiasco. Being a divorcee, she advices for her to focus on what she really want--a Plan B. Unfortunately for Lemon, she has no Plan B, nor a career to focuson, having no real job experience.
At the Rammer Jammer, Wade makes fun of her Zoe-Gate scandal. He jokes about cutting down on her fries so she can run faster when the people comes out to get her with their pitch forks and such. Zoe, irritated, asks him to stop being a jerk and just tell her how he feels. Wade, being himself (never tells what he really feels), just tells her that he thinks they'll just continue what they did last time. He tells her that he has no intention of being Zoe's boyfriend and gets back to work.
Lemon comes home to her dad who's too busy packing up all the wedding gifts they are to return to Lemon and George's guests. He asks Lemon if she's okay (duh?!). She blames her father about her having no Plan B. That he did not encourage her to become anything other than a wife. And now that she's 30 and realizes that she hasn't been independent since, she rethinks her life without no plan whatsoever after George.
Zoe prepares for dinner with her new girl friend, Ruby and boy, was Lavon surprised! Ruby comes in and he was so shocked, he spills wine onto Zoe. Turns out, Ruby and Lavon dated back in high school.
Meanwhile, George brings Wade a six-pack as peace offering. Being friends since childhood, he tells him that no matter who Zoe picks, George thinks that they still have to be solid no matter what. He also tells that he has strong feelings for Zoe and he's not backing down. All the bromance talk halted when Wade notices a crazy-looking Lemon Breeland walking towards Zoe's home, with a cake knife.
Lemon knocks on Zoe's with knife on hand and scares Zoe. Turns out, she's not meaning to kill Zoe. She just came to her because her chest hurts and she can't breathe. She thinks she's having a heart attack. However, she doesn't want her to call Brick because she feels she's been coddled for all her life and would rather spent her last moments on Earth with Zoe... Weird, I know!
While Zoe deals with Lemon, Lavon is stuck with Ruby, catching up on things. They recall their past and for not calling back after leaving for college. Lavon, getting uncomfortable says he'd check on Zoe, and Ruby leaves.
The guys tell Lavon that Zoe's at home with a knife-weilding Lemon Breeland. Little do they know, Lemon is having panic attacks and Zoe hands her Valium. She wouldn't accept it as she seems sure it was heart attack. Zoe explains to her that her vital signs are okay. She won't take it because if she does, she thinks she'll just prove everyone how much of a mess she is at the moment. Zoe convinces her to take the pill and promises she won't say a word to anyone.
Brick is finally trying to work on his love life after years of being a single man. He calls Emily, George's aunt and they go out on a date. Things took an insane turn when Tom approaches him after the sheriff informs them about Lemon taking Zoe hostage. And the whole of Bluebell rushes in to watch.
Outside Zoe's house at the plantation, the girls have no idea that everyone's going nuts about the "hostage taking". Wade and George tries to get in and save Zoe and ends up in a fight, for all Bluebell to see.
Inside, Lemon confides to Zoe about her life with George for 15 years and because of that, she has no Plan B in life. Unlike her, Zoe has a career. Something Lemon thinks she needs, now that she has nothing left after the wedding debacle. Zoe tells her that she may have a career, but that doesn't mean she's in no mess. The whole town thinks she's a home wrecker and she has only one friend. She also confesses about having sex with Wade, to Lemon's surprise. Zoe tells Lemon that her panic attack is just her body's way of saying that she has to take baby steps for change.
As they walk out, the girls find the whole town and the sheriff arrests Lemon. Zoe defends her that it was all a misunderstanding. She explains that she's not been taken hostage and is just hanging out with Lemon. She returns the cake knife to Sheila Whitaker.
Dash Dewitt, still curious about the Lemon-George break up, asks why then was the wedding called of at the last minute. George was about to own up to all the fiasco when Lemon steps in, telling everyone that it was no one's fault. At the end of the day, it was just not meant to be. Sheriff Bill asks Wade and George to make up, and Lemon thanks Zoe for saving her. Lemon admits that she still hates Zoe, and will hate her til her dying days, but she can freely date George if she wants. And that nothing that Zoe nor George can do that will break her.
Zoe meets George and apologizes to him. He thinks she may have picked Wade but Zoe tells him that she picked neither of them. She explains that it would be best to date other people first, since she has never been in a real relationship and George has never even dated. That if one day, the stars will aligned, and George is single and has finally healed of his heart ache, then maybe they can be together.
Lemon eats breakfast at the Rammer Jammer and meets Brick there. She didn't came home that night and tells her father she stayed with Annabeth at that time. She's determined to get a job and finally stand alone. Brick tries to talk her out of it but Lemon tells him no. She loves him but she has to get off under his wings or she'll suffocate. Wade then offers her a job at the Rammer Jammer. Lemon refuses to be a waitress, but Wade advises her that it would be a good way to show Bluebell that she's determined to start over. She takes the job.
Lavon and Ruby finally talks about their fizzled relationship from way back. He apologizes her for not properly breaking up with her. She accepts his apology and thanks him. Lavon learns that Ruby will be staying in Bluebell after all.
Zoe passes by Wade's on her way home and tells him that things aren't going to work out with him and George. Wade thinks that she chose him and an irritated Zoe tells him that she didn't pick anyone. Wade provokes her with his comment on her B- performance in bed. With all the tension, the two ended up in bed together... again.
