04x03 - The Very Good Bagel

[bunniefuu]

Lemon's going on a Belles and Bachelors cruise for a month, claims she's coming back engaged.

Lemon! Lemon!

Lavon: George?

No.

Both: No, no, no, no, no!

We need to find out the truth about Henry Dalton.

Wait till we tell Lemon he's been having an affair for over a year!

How are we gonna tell her?

We can't just drop a b*mb like that.

We could just leak it to the Blawker.

Henry Dalton is no fraud.

No more than I am.

We were in this together from the start.

I needed the money for Fancie's, and there was no other way to get it.

Are you seeing someone?

There may be someone I may have feelings for.

We were in love once, and, Lord help me, I still think I am.

So, are you gonna tell me?

I don't know.

Think about how he's gonna react when I tell him his life is gonna be turned upside down.

Wade's a good guy. He might surprise you.

I'm sorry that I walked out of dinner, but you should know the reason why.

I'm having your baby.

I'm gonna do this on my own, and I don't expect anything from you.

Zoe!

Please open up!

Can-can we talk?

♪ ♪

Hello?

Have you, uh, seen Zoe? Is she all right?

She's upstairs sleeping, if you want to wait.

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

What are you up to today?

Well, after breakfast, thought I'd go by Lemon's place.

Wait, wait. Ho-Hold on.

Hold on, you were just gonna take a run by Lemon's place?

You weren't gonna share that information with me?

Well, I didn't know I had to.

Okay. Look, according to the Blawker, Henry Dalton left today.

So, I say, we come clean.

We just both go to Lemon, tell her how we feel.

Yeah, we tell her, we let her choose.

All right.

Zoe: Let who choose what?

Hey! Sit down! Good morning, Zoe!

And have some coffee! Wait, don't have coffee.

Coffee's bad.

I take it Wade spilled the beans.

What? No spilling.

No. No, he didn't.

Nobody spilled anything. I don't know what you talking...

So how you feeling?

I'm a capable person.

I can handle this.

Just like I handled childhood, college, medical school.

Exactly.

On my own.

On your own?

B-But what about...

Please, I do not want to talk ab... And of course.

Zoe, I-I was waiting at your...

(chuckles)

Where on earth have you been?

I slept here, not that it's any of your concern.

Listen, I... I've been thinking about it all night.

And I'm sorry... about the way that I reacted to-to what you told me.

It was just, uh... you know, it was a... a b*mb.

A baby.

That's gonna change my whole life.

Your whole life.

Well, th-that came out wrong.

W-What I'm saying is, um, I-I started imagining, like, yeah, the crying and, uh... screaming and diapers, and I realized... dang, I don't know anything about babies.

But then I realized that you're a doctor, and you probably know everything about babies. So...

We should go, right?

But it's like a car crash.

I can't look away.

So you're saying that you expect me to do all of the work.

No. No, no.

What I'm saying is that... that-that we can do this, because you know about babies, but I could teach it to, uh... you know, fish and... and fix cars.

A-And that's why this is gonna work.

I have to go.

No, Zoe, Zoe.

I'm saying... we should get back together, have a baby.

Really? 'Cause just yesterday, you said you wanted to take things slow.

Yeah, but that was before I knew.

Oh, my God.

Wade, yes, we are having a baby, okay?

And you can certainly teach it to fish and fix cars.

But you and I, we are not...

No!

Mm.

Uh, you had all night to come up with something.

That-That's what you came up with?

Yeah, fishing and fixing cars?

Dude, that did not go well.

Mm-mm.

(whistles)

(car horn honks)

(seagulls calling)

Dash DeWitt, you tell me this instant who leaked the story to the Blawker about Henry.

Lemon Breeland, you know a journalist never reveals his sources.

You are not a journalist; you blog about a town with roughly the population of Sesame Street.

Well, insulting me will not help your cause.

She didn't... she didn't mean to...

We have more people than Sesame Street, though fewer talking puppets.

A.B., let's leave him to his biscuit, and to his guilty conscience.

Oh, but I haven't got...

Oh, yep. Okay.

Lavon and Annabeth: Oh.

Oh, uh, uh...

Sorry, A.B.

Yeah, no harm, no foul.

And even if you had hurt me, I work at a doctor's office, so...

George: Lemon, we heard about Henry.

We did. W-We're so sorry.

You know who's gonna be sorry?

Whoever leaked the story to the Blawker about Henry's girlfriend and ruined my life.

Uh, you-you mean "saved," right?

You mean saved your life?

Get with the program, Lavon.

That chiseled do-gooder and I... we were in cahoots.

We were both after our grandmothers' money, and now we're both screwed six ways to Sunday!

Oh, apologies for her language.

She's very upset.

Grandma Bettie ripped up the Fancie's check.

Oh. Uh, we will keep our eyes and ears peeled for that leaker.

Well, we will let you know if we hear anything.

Anything.

I need to meditate.

(exhales)

Namaste.

Ooh, that's new.

(chuckles)

Dash?

You handsome man. Good morning.

(Dash and George chuckle)

Y'all want me to be quiet?

Y'all gonna have to do something for me.

"You're the doctor.

You know everything about babies."

Stupid.

Stupid. Stupid.

Hearing voices?

(Sighs)

Yeah, I've been there.

No voices. Just... thinking.

Thinking?

About what?

You can tell your old man. Come on.

Zoe's pregnant.

I'm gonna be a granddaddy?

Grandpa Earl, or Gramps, or...

Ah, but I take it things aren't too good between the two of you.

I've just... I messed up so many times, Dad.

I... I keep putting my damn foot in my mouth.

That is true.

I can't mess up again.

Okay, we got a baby on the way.

You know, I got to... I got to do something, show her I'm serious this time.

Hmm.

Well, I really wish I knew how to help you, son.

Yeah, I know, Dad.

No. Yup.

"You're a doctor. You know everything about babies."

Direct quote.

Well, I am here now.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Oh, you want to start talking about the birthing plan?

I just read an article about the health effects of eating the placenta.

(loud, metallic crashing)

I, uh, dropped the tongue depressors.

Hmm. I take it you just overheard the big news.

Thin walls.

But I could not be more excited.

My associate, town role model, having an out-of-wedlock child.

(chuckles) Congratulations.

But I-I would discourage you from eating the placenta.

Ew!

No, no. No!

I'll go clean up those tongue depressors.

Lavon.

Um, I, uh, have to get to lunch.

Nice to see you twice in one day there, Lavon.

Hi. Hi. I'm here to talk.

About what push gift to get me?

I don't know what that is.

We can talk about it.

But, also, we need to talk about Wade.

(sighs)

Lemon: If I don't get that money soon, I'm gonna lose Fancie's.

Crickett: My mother isn't speaking to me, I lost my favorite conditioner in the move, and Jaysene still hasn't called me about our date.

My contractors walked out on me this morning, and I still can't find the big mouth to blame it on.

I texted her, "Call me this weekend."

She sends me a Winky Face Emojii.

What does that even mean?!

I can't even go three hours without running into my ex-boyfriend.

Who would have guessed the three of us would be single, sad and alone at our age?

We were the queens of BlueBell High.

We were cheerleaders.

Oh, remember that time that we broke into George's parents' lake house, and we buried our wishes in the woods?

Oh. I figured they'd all be true by now.

That was an amazing weekend.

We had just lost Cheerleading finals to Chickasaw.

Ugh. Oh, we got so drunk.

So, so drunk.

We came back ready to take on the world!

And we did! I mean, we were kicking the world's ass there for a while.

Ladies, this is our answer.

We need to break back into that lake house again.

Yes. Right now.

I'm in.

(all whoop)

Okay, yes, Wade stepped in it.

I never witnessed anything like it, to be honest with you, but he's about to be the father of your child.

And he just wants a chance to... to make this work.

You love him, he loves you.

There has to be some way to figure things out.

Now, just-just don't close the door is all I'm saying.

(sighs)

I solved your solution.

Is that what I think that is?

It is if you think it's your mother's engagement ring.

You want me to propose?

Are you insane?

You need a game-changer. I brought you one.

I...

Show that pretty doctor you're all in.

Hi. Hey, Doc. Morning. Good to see you.

It's 7:00 a.m. What are you doing here?

Well, I'm just awake, excited to start a new day, new life.

How you feeling?

It's morning. I officially have morning sickness.

Right, which is... why I brought you these.

Wanda's been eating them around the clock, so...

Thanks. I might actually be able to keep these down.

I-I just wanted to say sorry for the... the way I've been.

It's like my mouth and my mind just lost all contact.

I guess it was a lot to lay on you.

No, it's fine. I just, you know...

I-I would love a chance to say things right.

You know, to explain to you what I want for us.

Yes. Okay.

Go ahead.

Well, I mean, are you free later? 'Cause if so, I'll get... Please don't ask me to dinner.

Dinner.

Sorry, it's just that, uh, you know, dinner hasn't gone too well for us lately.

True. But, uh... it can only get better from here, right?

Come on. You already got the crackers, and I'll spring for some of Alabama's finest flat ginger ale.

Please?

Lavon: She'd love to.

Fine.

Dinner.

Nothing fancy.

Doesn't have to be crackers.

Rammer Jammer, 8:00.

All right.

See?

You'll eat, you'll talk.

No big deal.

Yeah.

No big deal.

(exhales)

I still don't understand.

Ladies love Jane Austen.

Which is why I promised these lovely visitors a full weekend of Pride and Prejudice reenactment.

Oh, dear Lord.

I promised them some hunky leading men, and they promised me a write-up of the Whippoorwill in their senior magazine.

Well, Dash, this seems like a lot of quid pro-quo, even for you.

Mr. Darcy, welcome to Longbourn.

Oh, no. No. No, there's no way.

I... I'm-I'm a football player.

A football-playing mayor. No, I have my dignity.

Come on, Lavon. I have seen you in tights plenty of times.

Well, yeah, that was for BlueBell, not to be some fancy escort for a bunch of little old ladies.

Well, now if we don't do what Dash wants us to, he's gonna tell Lemon what we did.

Okay? Then she's gonna blame us for losing the restaurant, and that does not bode well for either of us.

So true, so true.

(chuckles) Ladies?

Meet Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy!

(women giggling)

For the next 48 hours, you two will be the busiest bees in all of Hertfordshire.

(chuckles)

George, there you are. Oh.

What on God's green earth is going on here?

Uh, just to support local tourism.

Yeah, senior cultural endeavors. You know.

Lucky for you, I don't have time to dig into this, so, George, may I have a word with you?

Yes, of course. Uh, I can come, too.

Gladys: Oh, Mr. Darcy, come tell me what you think of my sister.

(chuckles)

That's you, Lavon. (chuckles)

(clears throat) What's up?

Um, George, by chance, does your family still have that house on Lake Eufaula?

Yeah, of course. Why?

Oh, you know, no reason. Just...

I was just thinking about maybe getting a lake house for myself.

You don't have any money.

A girl can plan for the future.

(chuckles) And, um, by chance, would that spare key be under the frog planter?

Yes, it is.

But if... you want to go up there this weekend, I can just give you my key.

No, George, I'm simply inquiring.

But is, uh, anyone gonna be up there this weekend?

No... but if someone were to go up there, they would definitely want to disable the alarm using the code 3-5-4-1.

That information is not useful to me at all.

Okay. Mm-hmm. All right.

Bye. Okay.

All right, Wanda, I need to start kicking people out at 5:00, all right? Tell them we're closed for dinner.

Why again?

Because I said so.

The, uh... the plates... these are the unchipped ones?

Yep. And I got the champagne flutes.

One of them is technically a Star Wars jelly jar, but...

And, uh, Shanetta's cooking up something special, right?

Etouffée, her mother's recipe.

Sal just delivered the shrimp.

Great. Great.

Wait, shrimp?

sh**t.

Uh, hold on a second.

So, a baby, huh?

Yep.

Well, that is... wonderful news. Good for you.

Uh, I'm sorry if I got caught off guard before.

I didn't realize that you and Wade had gotten back together.

We didn't.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

Uh, so you're gonna be a single parent.

Uh, well, I did it. It's not so bad.

I mean... Well, you know, maybe sometimes. Weekdays and... oh, and weekends. (groans)

(door opens, bell jingles)

Oh.

Hello, Wade.

You look good.

Real good.

Healthy.

I'm not staring at you for any reason at all.

What are you doing here?

Uh, well, I just wanted to ask if pregnan... presently you can eat shrimp.

What?

Oh, uh, yeah, shrimp is fine.

Great. All right. I'll see you later.

8:00. Rammer Jammer.

(chuckles)

Well, he seemed excited about current events.

Oh, my gosh.

You know I am not one to gossip, but did you see the bulge in Wade Kinsella's pants?

N-No, no, that is not really any of our business, now, is it, Elodie?

I have but one superpower.

Whatever are you talking about?

Jewelry detection.

And Wade Kinsella had a big old ring box in his pocket.

What? A what box?

Why don't you just go on into the, uh, exam room, Elodie, and I-I will just be right in.

Zoe: Oh, my God.

Y-You don't think that Wade's going to...

But-but that's wonderful.

He loves you, you love him.

I mean, isn't that what you serenaded Meatball all about?

But he is only proposing because I am pregnant.

I proposed to Alice because I found out she was pregnant with Lemon. Uh-huh.

And how did things work out for you and Alice?

We were very, very happy.

Once.

Then?

She left.

Because?

It's complicated.

I mean, Alice had dreams, and-and, you know, a sudden family and kids might have caused her to feel a little...

Trapped?

Yeah, but you and Wade are different.

Really? Name one couple who got married because they were having a baby where it actually worked out.

Uh...

Hmm?

I... Maybe you give me a little more time.

Ladies, ground rules.

This is going to be the best weekend ever.

So, no fighting, no complaining, no staring at cell phones, and I get the big bedroom.

What? Why?

'Cause it's one of the rules. I get to call it.

Okay! Everybody ready?

So ready!

(squeals)

(gasps)

It's exactly like I remembered.

Okay, ladies, here we go.

All right.

All right.

To the best weekend ever, part two.

Hey, can't you read, man?

Sign says "closed."

That doesn't include me, your best friend.

(ringtone playing)

Hey. You on your way?

Wade, I think that we need some time away from each other.

Far away.

To get some sanity back, because...

I think that some of us might be getting a little carried away?

And that makes some other of us a little freaked out.

Where are you?

Candace: I'm ordering from Chan Lu.

You want Szechuan chicken?

Is that your mom?

Are you in New York?

Well, when are you coming back?

I don't know. I'm sorry.

Honey, I know that this is a difficult time, but it is so important that you know, from the bottom of my heart, I will never, ever be called Grandma.

Lavon: Hey.

Nice ruffles.

Yeah, the things we do for love.

Yep! The things we do.

So how'd it go last night?

Well, it didn't.

Zoe went to New York to visit her mom.

What? Why?

Well, I don't know, but I have a hunch she figured out I was gonna pop the question.

What question, exactly?

Uh, the question you pop.

Man, you done all-out lost your marbles.

Why? I love her. We're having a baby.

That's what people do.

The two of you haven't been able to get it together to sit through dinner without one of you storming off, so why, why, oh, why would you think it was a good idea to propose?

Earl.

Oh. Oh, my God.

I am this close to people calling me Crazy Wade.

Okay, okay. So you had a little breakdown.

That's understandable under the circumstances.

What do I do now?

Dude, give her some space.

I mean, there's no rushing it.

She's not gonna be in New York forever.

Probably.

Mmm. Oh, my God.

This bagel is so good.

I forgot how good.

I can't get over this bagel. I want to marry this bagel.

Well, then at least my grandchild would have a father.

It does have a father. Wade.

I hope you don't have feelings for him anymore, because the fewer the complications in this sort of...

You do have feelings.

Big feelings?

I love the dummy. (sighs)

Well, then why are you up here and not with him?

'Cause he was going to propose.

How Southern.

Well, then you were right to leave.

Just because you're gonna have a child with someone is no reason to spend your lives together.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm terrified of raising a baby alone.

Well, then don't do it alone.

Move back to New York.

I will hire the best people to help.

That is very nice, Mom, but BlueBell is my home, no matter how complicated it gets.

Well, at least let me throw you a little party.

It'll cheer you up.

Fine. A small party.

♪ ♪

Oh! Oh, my God, we got to go find our wishes!

Oh! Let's go!

If I can... just do this.

Okay, okay... I'm just gonna hold on to you.

Hold on. I got it.

Okay, Crickett, first.

"My wish is that we make state next year and that I get that new car my dad promised me. Oh, and that when I grow up, I am a head Belle."

Hmm. Hmm.

At least that part came true.

It did.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

"My wish is to marry Jake." (groans) "And, if not, one of the Hanson brothers. And that we have three sons and they start a band, like the Hanson brothers."

Oh. I don't know what's sadder... my lack of ambition or that I would've been better off with one of the Hanson brothers.

(laughs)

(sighs)

"My wish is that in 15 years I am as happy as I am tonight."

Aw.

(Snickers)

That's only because you got it on with George that night.

You did! I forgot that.

Stop.

(laughs)

(piano playing jazz music)

Well, you look just the same.

I expected you'd be wearing overalls and chewing tobacco.

Uncle Dexter, would you excuse me?

Oh, darling.

Hmm?

Look who's here.

Daphne Clarke.

You did ballet together.

Right, yeah.

In, like, the third grade.

Mm-hmm.

Candace: Yup.

Well, I'll let you two catch up.

Uh, so, Daphne, what have you been up to for the past, like, 20-whatever years?

You know, living. Married, divorced.

Married again. I'm a realtor.

I didn't realize that you and my mother stayed in touch.

(chuckles): Oh. We didn't.

She read a profile of me in New York Magazine.

She called and said she had a client for me to meet.

A VIP relocating to New York from out of town.

Any idea who it could be?

No. No idea.

Mm.

Excuse me.

(humming a tune)

It's locked.

Who locked the door?

I did. I was worried about intruders.

Now I see my error in judgment.

(sighs)

Somebody better get over here and help me open up this window, or we're sleeping outside tonight.

Out here? In our bathing suits?

No, we're gonna die of exposure.

(phone chimes)

Ooh! Those shoes I liked at Pascal's went on sale!

Oh.

Oh. Ooh.

(dialing)

(classical music playing)

And, Mr. Darcy, how do you like Lady Elizabeth's fine eyes?

Oh, uh, they-they are fine.

They, uh... they shine like dimes.

Or whatever change they have in England.

The country is vast more pleasant than the city, is it not, Mr. Bingley?

Why, yes, it is lovely here in the... in the country.

(ringtone chiming)

I'm sorry, I have a phone call, if you'll just excuse me.

Uh, Crickett?

It's Lemon. Listen, we are... we're locked outside of your lake house, and it is freezing.

I'm so, so sorry, but can you please come up here?

Uh...

Mr. Bingley, do finish your business and come back to me.

(chuckles) Yeah, I'm on my way.

What's going on?

Well, Lemon's up at the lake house, needs me to bring her the key, so...

(chuckles) See ya. No, no, no, no.

You're not going to the lake house with... without me.

I can't complete my quadrille without you.

You owe me.

Sorry, Dash.

Ladies, we have to bid you farewell.

Chivalry calls. Yeah.

Ta-ta, yeah.

Your secret is out!

Out, out, out, I say!

Out!

Alexander: Zoe!

Remember me?

Alexander Blake.

Our mothers tried to set us up, like, 11 years ago.

Right. Alexander.

So what do you do?

Uh, I am dean of admissions at Tillington Prep.

It's a kindergarten preparatory school.

It's a preschool for achievement-oriented toddlers.

You're kidding, right?

(doorbell rings)

Uh, our wait-list is two years out.

If you're even thinking of having children, you should sign up soon.

I...

Have you seen my mother?

Wade.

Candace.

Zoe is not in a place to speak to you right now.

I'm afraid you wasted a trip.

Uh, actually...

I was hoping to speak to you first, anyway.

What the...?

Seriously?

We were planning on cleaning up.

We just need something to eat, and these two need to sober up.

Okay, well, nice to see you, ladies.

Have fun.

I have a cat!

What now?

I have a cat.

I thought it would make me a better lesbian.

Why would having a cat make you a better lesbian?

Crickett: I don't know, but a lot of those girls on The L Word have one, so I got one from the shelter.

Well, congratulations.

Y-You don't understand.

I didn't feed the cat.

And I have to feed the cat or it will die, and then I will be a cat k*ller.

And the worst lesbian ever.

Plus, I am hungry. We have to go.

We should... Yeah, we should eat. Let's go!

Oh, no, no. Hold on.

None of you ladies are in any shape to drive.

All right, look, Lavon, just... take them home, I'll stay and clean up.

George's truck has heat!

Let's go, ladies. Wait, sorry, um...

Uh, this was all my idea, so I-I'm gonna stay here and help George clean up.

Wait, what now?

I'll be back tonight. Or tomorrow.

(sighs)

Drive safe, Lavon.

Crickett: You heard the woman, Lavon!

Let's go!

Poor kitty.

Lavon: Poor kitty.

Wade: You know, the last time I saw you, you slapped me about as hard as I've ever been slapped.

Well, that sounds like you should stop doing stuff that gets you slapped.

I have made some mistakes.

And I don't regret any so much as the ones that hurt Zoe.

I was stupid, and I was scared.

Thought she could never be happy with a bartender from Alabama, and...

I suspect you thought the same.

I won't deny that.

Well, I'm not the same person I was then.

You know, I've grown more in the last three years than I ever thought possible.

More still in the last 48 hours.

I love Zoe.

And I'm going to fight for us.

I see.

Well, I came here to tell her that.

So, with all due respect, ma'am, I'd like to go speak to Zoe now.

Oh, you know what I always thought was a good name for a cat?

Roger.

That is the best name for a cat.

Yeah, yeah. Ooh!

We should go to Biscuit Basket!

Oh, yeah, that's where they have the biscuits in the basket.

So good.

Lavon, if you loved us, you would take us to Biscuit Basket.

(Both chanting): Biscuit Basket, Biscuit Basket, Biscuit Basket...

Why my parents' lake house, anyway?

It's silly.

We were, uh, trying to recreate the weekend where we snuck up here after Cheerleading finals.

Remember that?

I had the nerve to go to my own father's birthday party instead of your competition.

(laughs): How dare I?

And then you said to me,

"George Tucker, never darken my doorstep again."

Ugh. That is an exact quote.

So I brought the girls up here for a little revenge party.

But then, later on that night, you called me.

And you said, uh, "George,

"I made a terrible mistake.

Come up here so I can make it up to you."

(laughs)

And so, of course, I stole my father's brand...

New car.

I am not a rule breaker by nature, okay?

And then you said, "Relax, George.

"Let loose.

Just be in the moment."

And you took my advice.

Yup.

And you kissed me.

And you kissed me again.

And again.

That was our first time.

Yeah, it was.

What are you doing?

Going swimming.

Relax, George.

Let loose.

Be in the moment.

Uh... okay.

God, why am I in so many clothes?

When your mother first told me about the Alabama situation, I understood the novelt, I mean, inheriting your late father's practice.

But you've been there for years.

Aren't you bored?

With no opera? Or light opera?

Sharon: I think what Zoe did is great.

America needs more family doctors.

Sharon?

Hi. And please tell me that you are still a surgeon and not here to sell me on preschools or real estate.

Still a surgeon. Went into plastics.

I specialize in postpartum reconstructive surgery.

Do you?

Pregnancy can just destroy female body, so we tighten everything back up.

Everything.

(clapping)

Candace: Everybody? Everybody... uh, we have a special guest who traveled all the way from BlueBell, Alabama, to see our Zoe.

Wade Kinsella of, I assume, the BlueBell Kinsellas?

The moon looks so beautiful tonight.

(chuckles)

Yeah, well, so do you.

Oh.

You do. You look just like you did when you were 17.

(laughs): Oh, no, no, George.

Yeah.

Can I tell you something?

Uh... yeah, you can tell me anything.

(sighs)

I'm so cold.

I'm so, so, so, so cold.

(chuckles) Oh, okay. Yeah.

Let's go. Yeah, yeah, let's...

(laughs) Let's-let's go.

(chuckles)

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Can I help?

I have come home drunk before, Lavon.

But either the key has grown, or the lock has... shrank.

Shrunken. Shrunk! Final answer.

Yup. Uh, let me take a cr*ck at it.

Okay.

Ah. Ah. That did it. There you go.

Okay. But I... loosened it for you.

You did.

Take care, A.B.

Hey, this is fun.

And thanks for the food.

Oh, and I broke up with Davis 'cause I still love you.

Good night.

George, do you think what we had, that we'll... find it with other people?

No. No, I don't.

Me, either.

Because... you're my first love.

I mean, even though we've changed so much since we first came up here when we were kids, I know that I can always count on you.

I know that I will always feel safe because I have you.

I can't believe you're in New York.

Yeah, well, I mean, they played Spider-Man on the airplane, so I kind of knew what to expect.

Oh.

Zoe, why... why'd you run away?

Because you were going to propose.

(laughs)

Me? Propose?

I... Yeah, I was gonna propose.

Chalk it up to temporary insanity?

Well, I'm sorry for running away.

Contagious temporary insanity?

But, you know, a lot has happened between us.

And finally, after all of it, we can't get back together just because I'm pregnant.

We can't.

Look, I mean... the truth is, I'm...

I am petrified about being a father.

And I'm...

I'm petrified about how having a baby is gonna change me.

Us.

Everything.

It is.

You know what? So what?

Life is full of uncertainties, Zoe.

But if you have one thing... just one thing that you know is true, you hold onto that.

And the one thing that I am sure of is that you are the love of my life, Zoe Hart.

And I know that together we can handle anything.

Even a baby.

So, will you please...

Please give us another chance?

Oh, my God, my head.

Oh!

Oh.

George?

Why aren't you blinking?

What's wrong?

Lemon...

I am not in love with you.

(groans softly)

I'm not in love with you, either.

Rude!

No, no, I'm...

It's not... Here, let me start over.

Lemon, I was the one who leaked the story about Henry and his girlfriend to the Blawker.

Ruder! Why on earth would you do that, George?!

Because I thought I was in love with you.

Wait. What?!

When?

Until about three hours ago.

Huh? No.

Yes. The night you left to go on the cruise, I went to the doc to tell you that.

But... being back here with you made me realize I'm not in love with you.

I am in love with our past.

A simpler time.

When we still had our whole lives ahead of us.

We were there for each other for over half our lives.

And after we broke up, Lemon, I-I went on a... miserable journey of self-discovery.

(both laugh)

Yeah, well, tell me about it.

And I think the reason that I keep on getting drawn back to you is... because... life made sense to me when we were together.

But I'm tired of looking back.

Now, I got to... look forward.

I got to push myself, get out of my comfort zone, you know?

Think about the future and...

And leave our love story in the past.

And our friendship in the present.

Yeah. Exactly.

(both sigh)

Whew. (laughs)

(laughs, sighs)

Although, there is one other thing I should tell you.

I, uh...

I wasn't the only person who went to the doc that night to tell you that they loved you.

Lavon was there, too.

(sighs) Oh, sorry.

Morning.

So, from the looks of things, I guess you and Zoe didn't...

No, no, we're, uh... we're okay.

Zoe: He's on the couch... because we thought it would be weird with you in the next room.

Wade: Just a little bit.

Mother, I want you to be the first to know that Wade and I are back together.

Surprisingly, that makes me want to celebrate.

I'm gonna go get us bagels.

From Paymer's? Will you get me two?

And a couple dozen for the road?

They're so good. I can't wait.

(chuckles)

So, we're doing this, huh?

Oh, yeah, we are really doing this.

Having a baby.

Things are about to get very weird, aren't they?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah.

(laughs)

Come here.

A.B.?

Oh.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Lemon, there you are. Thank God.

Um, I need help.

I must enter the witness protection program immediately.

What on earth happened?

Oh, nothing.

Except, in between drunkenly thanking Lavon for the Biscuit Basket dinner and saying good night, I... may have told him I'm still in love with him.

Are you?

Are you still in love with him?

Yes.

But, I mean, I'll... I'll get over it, right?

Can't feel this way forever, can I?

Come here.

Let's go get some breakfast, okay?

Okay.

♪ ♪

Okay, what exactly happened last night?

Well, I had a realization.

I am not in love with Lemon.

What? Seriously?

Because we have been fighting over her for, like, months now.

Timing's never been my strong suit, but, uh...

I told her about all of it.

About the Blawker, about the doc.

About all of it.

You told her about me?

Yes. And I'm so sorry.

I just... We-we started bonding, and...

Okay, well, what-what did she say?

Not much.

But... trust me, you... should go and talk to her.

This is your big chance.

Go and... go and make her happy.

Actually, you should hear about my night.

Annabeth: Oh. No eye contact.

Way too soon.

Get to a booth. Get to a booth.
