HART OF DIXIE - Season 1.9 - THE PIRATE AND THE PRACTICE

This episode makes you understand what the town of Bluebell is all about.  It's not just a town.  It's a tight-knit community that genuinely cares for one another.  They will circle the wagons at a drop of a hat to protect each other.  That's a great message.  Sure it might sound hokey but somehow this show with the small-town charm makes it play.

Sure, the conflict between Brick and Zoe should be dramatic instead of comic relief but that's what the series is all about.  Instead of building walls, it's mending fences.  Instead of pointing out differences, it makes you realize we're all one.

Tim Matheson does a good job.  He could easily be a one-dimensional character but Matheson is a pro and can shade the performance with a single glance.

Rachel Bilson continues to shine, carrying the show with comedic confidence.

It's not out to win awards, it's after our hearts instead.
