Ep 1. Who Says You Can't Go Home

After a whirlwind of a summer with the New York City boy of her dreams, Dr. Zoe Hart returns to Bluebell, Alabama, to pick up where she left off with the charming small town life she's grown to love. However, upon her arrival, Zoe discovers that a lot has changed in Bluebell during her absence.

Firstly, her best friend and ally in town, Lavon Hayes, has become the new mayor and is dealing with the pressure of the job. Secondly, George Tucker, the man Zoe has always harbored secret feelings for, has moved on and is now dating the bubbly and ditzy Lynly. Finally, Brick Breeland, Zoe's boss and father figure of sorts, has a new love interest in town, leading to unexpected tension between him and Zoe.

As Zoe navigates through these changes in her personal and professional life, she also takes on a challenging medical case involving a former flame of hers who has returned to Bluebell with a mysterious and potentially life-threatening condition. Along with this, Zoe grapples with the idea of settling down in Bluebell and potentially giving up her fast-paced city lifestyle for the slower-paced, southern charm of the town.

Meanwhile, Lavon is dealing with his own personal problems as mayor, including a feud with the neighboring town and a secret that threatens to bring down his credibility. George also faces his own challenges as he tries to balance his relationship with Lynly and his lingering feelings for Zoe.

With new romances, old flames, and hometown drama, Hart of Dixie's season 3 premiere sets the stage for an exciting and emotional journey for its beloved characters.
