HART OF DIXIE - Season 1.8 - HOMECOMING & COMING HOME

They're trying to show more dimensions to Lemon with this episode.  We learn that she was once a hellraiser.  Of course, we had learned earlier that she had to grow up fast when her mother left them.  Still, there's not enough here.  Who would really like Lemon the way she is now?  Yet, the show has both George and Lavon hopelessly smitten.  Why?  What's there to like let alone love?

Zoe's friend comes from New York to help her plan the homecoming party.  Of course, a New York party differs greatly from what Bluebell expects and the party is a disaster.  It's here that Zoe learns how much she has changed.  Again, this is lazy writing.  It's so cliche.

However, the show isn't out to redefine a protagonist ala BREAKING BAD.  It's embraced the familiar and the cliched.  It's just trying to have a good time.
