LAMON

An eagle-eyed Fug National pointed out that Lemon has a tendency to dress "like the Queen." This is accurate. On the other hand, I love Lavon for his closet of pastel pants. It takes a real man to go out in pastel pants.

Zoe

After such a lengthy hiatus, I applaud The Return of the Formal Shorts. I mean, not because I think they're so great, but merely because they feel like home.

Lemon and George

"Her Majesty brought you a snack!" In fairness, that coat might be kind of cute.

Gary Cole

"I'm going to need you to get over the fact that I abandoned you when I discovered you weren't really my daughter, mmm'kaay? That'd be great."

Meredith

Then we sat on our remotes and were transported to another reality, where watched three minutes of Grey's Anatomy starring Rachel Bilson.

Zoe and Gary Cole

I don't know about you, but nothing would make me feel more comfortable about going into major heart surgery than seeing my doctor prancing around the hospital in freaking hot pants. No, Legs McGee, you MAY NOT crack open my chest wall. PUT ON SOME PANTS.

Zoe and Addie

Both girls were wearing really cute dresses, of which I could not get a good picture, because neither one of them stood still. Like this is a Sorkin show. We don't need to Walk and Talk on the CW, you guys. The CW is more Talk and Model.

George

I thought you might want to see George's sweater and tie combo. Not to mention his obligatory "What Is Happening Here?" face. Don't worry, George. At least you're not paralyzed in this one. Other than perhaps with romantic indecision.

Lemon and some random girl

Lemon seriously wore her trench coat inside for like six hours. I have no idea why.

Cheers!

Lavon never looks less than snappy. Seriously. I also enjoy Wade's Preppy Cocktailing Sweater.

Tim Matheson

"Could I LOOK anymore like Chandler Bing in this sweater vest, Lemon?"

Lemon and Zoe

I am enamored of Zoe's dress here. I feel like Lemon's dress isn't intentionally 6 months behind trend, but let's salute her for not being, you know, SIXTY YEARS OFF. From the neck down anyway.

WHA

And then THIS happened at the Rammer Jammer. Did we all just fall into a time-travelling worm hole and end up at the Peach Pit After Dark?

Zoe

See? This is legitimately super cute. I kind of want it. And by "kind of," I mean "TOTALLY."

The Queen

And then Lemon decided to return to the year 1962. JUST IN TIME TO MACK ON LAVON.

NO!

Conveniently, George was BLINDED by headlights at the moment of the kiss, so it's unclear if he saw it...except for in the "Next On," where he said, "I saw Lemon and Lavon kissing." Listen, I'm just glad this moment didn't act as a prelude to him getting run down by a car and winding up paralyzed again.

Fug the Show: Hart of Dixie recap, episode 17

I admit to being pleased that this show is BACK. Here's what happened this week: Zoe Hart's father came to town to operate on George's Dad, because George's Dad had a heart attack whilst George was yelling at him for being a heartless capitalist bastard or something (on the actually well-meant urgings on Lemon). Because he's a smarmy bastard, he's played by Gary Cole. (The great tragedy is that Gary Cole and Tim Matheson didn't get to have a smarm-off, in my opinion.) ANYWAY: Gary Cole saves George's Dad's life, and after a lot of yadda yadda, he and Zoe reconcile despite the fact that he was a total ass when he found out he wasn't her biological father. Side-note: both Gary Cole and Rachel Bilson were excellent in their scenes together. In other news, Lemon decided the best way to keep Zoe from telling George that Lemon and Lavon used to be LOVERS is to become best friends with her. Zoe doesn't bite, but tells Lemon that (a) she doesn't want to be the person to break George's heart by telling him, EVEN IF SHE LOVES HIM (implied), and (b) she's not going to tell anyway because of how Lavon is ALREADY her best friend and she would never betray his confidence thusly. BUT! Lavon gets drunk at the Rammer Jammer because they're having a Cocktail Contest -- which inspires Hot Neighbor Wade to open his own bar (HNW didn't have much to do this week other than look cute and fix drinks, which is all I'm really looking for anyway) -- and he KISSES LEMON and she wasn't into it at all, but GEORGE SAW THIS and WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!?! Etc. Let's look at the outfits!
