Plot Synopsis
After she gets passed over for a fellowship and after her best friend steals her boyfriend, Dr. Zoe Hart moves from New York City to a small Southern town, where she becomes the resident doctor in the quirky BlueBell, Alabama, eventually inheriting the town's practice. When her big-city dreams fall apart and Zoe realizes she won't follow in her father's footsteps and become a cardio-thoracic surgeon, she accepts an offer from a stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, to work with him at his small practice in Bluebell. Zoe arrives in this small Gulf Coast town only to find that Harley has passed away and left his half of the medical practice to her in his will. The other doctor in town, Brick Breeland, is less than pleased to be sharing the practice with this young outsider. Zoe is attracted to George Tucker, a charming and gallant local attorney who is engaged to marry Brick's daughter, Lemon Breeland. Lemon is one of the elite Blue Belles, a group of southern debutante-types who keep the town history alive by performing in period dress. Wade Kinsella is a gorgeous flirty, bad-boy southern fisherman who is neighbors with Zoe, plays in a band and dedicates a song to her. Former football star Lavon Hayes is the mayor and one of Zoe's few allies. At the start of Season 2, Zoe was officially a general practitioner in tiny BlueBell, where she lived in Lavon's guesthouse. During the second season, Zoe struggled with her feelings for George and Wade, but she decided to go to New York for the summer to get some clarity in her life after Wade declared his love for her and after George left Bluebell to go on the road. Plus, Lemon took over the Rammer Jammer with Wade in an effort to get her life back on track after being left at the altar by George, and Lavon started a new relationship with AnnaBeth, the town's sweetest belle. HART OF DIXIE returned for its third season on Monday, October 7, 2013 at 8pm ET/PT on The CW. Season 3 opened with Zoe in NYC, working in a big city hospital, dating a successful New York novelist, and feeling like she had unfinished business in BlueBell. When Zoe heads south to make amends, she's got her work cut out for her, because the townsfolk aren't too happy with her decision to leave. In the Season 3 finale, Zoe tries to be a supportive friend to Wade, but when she makes a grand gesture, Wade is forced to make a tough decision about his future with the Rammer Jammer and BlueBell. Lavon and George (meet their hero Don Todd (guest star Reggie Hayes), who helps them see things in their life more clearly. Grandma Bettie (guest star Maree Cheatham) tries to convince Lemon that she has to take her search for a suitable husband more seriously. Meanwhile, AnnaBeth is trying to picture her future with Davis (guest star Barry Watson). Season 4 of HART OF DIXIE premiered on Monday, December 15, 2014 at 8pm ET/PT on the CW, four weeks earlier than previously announced. In the season opener, "Kablang," Zoe is excited that Wade has decided to stay in BlueBell. However, she is struggling with getting him to notice her attempts at romantic gestures. Brick is surprised when he gets a knock on his door from someone from his past. Meanwhile, George and Lavon are on the outs after realizing they both want the same thing: Lemon. After a brief hiatus, the series will return again in on January 9, 2015 in its regular timeslot -- Fridays at 9pm ET/PT -- for the rest of its 10 new episodes.
