Antoinette Robertson

A night in the Primal Nightclub doesn't quite go as planned or expected. The club is jumping but Paper Boi isn't getting the love or respect he feels he deserves.

In the third season premiere, after spending the summer in New York City, Zoe is ready to make her move more permanent, but first she must return to BlueBell for one last thing. Upon her return, Zoe discovers that no one in town is very happy to see her, except for Lavon. Desperate for Brick to give her a good reference, she agrees to help him track down George and get him to resurrect the Founders Day parade that has been canceled. Needing to find George quickly, Zoe enlists Lemon's help, but accidentally discovers Lemon is hiding a dirty little secret. Meanwhile, Lemon devises a plan to help Wade save face in front of Zoe. Recurring guest star Josh Cooke (Dexter) appears as Joel.

Zoe beings to grow leery of how much time Joel (recurring guest star Josh Cooke) and Wade hang out, especially when it begins to interfere with Joel's writing. Ready to blame it all on Wade, Zoe does her best to entice Joel back into writing. Lavon is using the excuse of coaching his track team to avoid talking to AnnaBeth. Meanwhile, Lemon encourages Brick to start dating again, and George and Lynly (recurring guest star Antoinette Robertson) discuss whether they want to talk to Lavon about their feelings for each other.

Trying to be hospitable to Joel (recurring guest star Josh Cooke), who is visiting BlueBell, Lavon and AnnaBeth invite him and Zoe over for a quiet dinner, but when Lemon meets Alabama's most eligible bachelor, Carter Covington (guest star Ryan McPartlin – Chuck), she invites herself and Carter along to the soiree. When some unexpected guests show up to the party, however, Lemon's ruse with Wade risks being exposed. Meanwhile, George makes a bad decision involving Lynly (recurring guest star Antoinette Robertson – Zero Hour), which could ultimately ruin his friendship with Lavon.

Trying to avoid a confrontation with Brick, Zoe begins discreetly seeing patients in BlueBell again. But her plan goes awry when George informs her she has a non-compete clause in her contract that prevents her from practicing for a year in the town. Lavon is thrilled at the chance to bring a minor league baseball team to BlueBell, but needs Brick's help to woo the team's owner. Elsewhere, Lemon finds herself in hot water with the Belles after she tries to overthrow the current leader. Meanwhile, George finds himself needing medical attention during a tutoring session with Lynly (recurring guest star Antoinette Robertson), forcing him to call Zoe for help.
