Zoe is determined to win BlueBell's gumbo contest and prove to everyone that she is a part of the community...and hopefully land some patients. Lavon develops a crush on Brick and Zoe's new receptionist, Didi, but things get a little messy after Lemon catches wind of the news. Zoe and Brick find themselves having to work together to perform a life-saving surgery.

The interns take their first-year medical exams; the residents attend to three injured mountain-climbers; Callie's suspicions of George and Izzie grow; Cristina struggles to write her wedding vows.

While the residents of BlueBell prepare for their annual Planksgiving celebration, Zoe anxiously counts the days until her return home to New York for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, getting out of town may be a bit trickier than Zoe anticipated due to the fact that she has to meet her 30 percent quota of patients by midnight or lose her share of the practice to Brick. Meanwhile, Lavon encourages Wade to be honest about his feelings for Zoe, and George's father offers him an opportunity to join his law firm in Montgomery, which isn't exactly music to Lemon's ears.

After Bonnie's relapse, the women from her AA meeting rally around to help her through withdrawal from painkillers, but Christy wants no part of it.

The Clipping Book sends the team to a high-tech research facility, where the researchers have been turned into mindless monsters by some bizarre power source in the center's lab. When they disconnect the artifact, however, they find themselves stuck in a time loop.
