Being a Breeland, it is very important for Magnolia to win this Bluebell pageant. Lemon and their mother both won their years. Lemon is doing all she can to make sure that works out for her sister. But when Zoe sees a very sad Rose, upset that her crush Frederick is dating Magnolia, Zoe decides the best way to cheer up her young BFF is to help her win the pageant and, in turn, Frederick’s heart.

As you may have noticed, Lemon and Zoe don’t like each other. Zoe finds Lemon ridiculous, and her crush on George doesn’t help. Lemon doesn’t like how Zoe doesn’t fit in, and you know, George’s apparent crush on Zoe. So they go full tilt with poor Magnolia and Rose. Magnolia needs tears during her Gone With the Wind monologue for the talent show! Rose has to sing, not clog like she wants to! When Zoe advises Suzy at the salon to stay home (she has bronchitis!) meaning the girls hair can’t properly be done up, Lemon loses it and the two fight it out in the street. The fight, of course, comes down to George. Lemon says Zoe is a shameless flirt who will just end up a spinster. Zoe says George flirts with her too because he sees something in Zoe he doesn’t see in Lemon. Ooooo. Harsh. But the two stop when they realize Magnolia and Rose left them in the street. Since week one I have mentioned I want to know what led these two to get together in the first place, so when we started having flashbacks this episode, I bet you all knew how excited I was! Pageant time brings up some unfortunate memories for Lemon. First – she remembers winning her pageant and how excited she was with her mother (Meredith Monroe, who depresses me by playing mom to Jamie King). Mom gave her a necklace and told her she needs to reach for her dreams and not be like her. As we know, not long after mom decided to leave and do just that, and never looked back.
