Rachel Bilson leads a stellar ensemble cast in this fish-out-of-water comedic drama about small-town living, big city attitudes and complicated love triangles. After three years, Dr. Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) is starting to feel at home in BlueBell, Alabama, and still continues to shake up life in this small town. Though they are no longer a couple, Zoe still finds herself drawn to bad boy Wade Kinsella (Wilson Bethel), and she and Wade continue to be friends with George Tucker (Scott Porter), who is still trying to figure his love life. Lemon Breeland (Jaime King) continues to pursue her dream of being a business owner, while always on the lookout for her true love. Zoe’s best friend and landlord, Mayor Lavon Hayes (Cress Williams), is determined to keep BlueBell the quaint town everyone has come to love, while AnnaBeth (Kaitlyn Black) has come into her own by co-running the local women’s social club, the Belles. After her difficult return to their shared medical practice, Zoe’s personal and professional relationship with Dr. Brick Breeland (Tim Matheson) seems to have gotten to a better place. Zoe’s love life is still a mess, and she’s not sure what the future holds in store for her, but we know it will be juicy and full of fun.

SECOND CHANCES — Zoe (Rachel Bilson) is excited that Wade (Wilson Bethel) has decided to stay in BlueBell. However, she is struggling with getting him to notice her attempts at romantic gestures.

Lisa was able to make out that the Wade and Zoe scene seems to be Zoe making breakfast. Wade asks where Lavon is. The words "An egg cracks in a pan. A whisk whisks. While bacon is on a grill.", "done with love. and because of her newly culinary abilities", and "Then there is A (can't make it out) and dumbass smile (can't make out the rest). Then "we pull back and see Wade entering." can be made out in the paragraph before the WZ interaction. Zoe's first dialogue appears to be, "Well hello there Wade. It's a beautiful day."

General Spoilers:

• Question: Will Rachel Bilson’s pregnancy be written into the fourth season of Hart of Dixie? —Julianne
  Ausiello: Unlike the uncertainty surrounding Nashville’s Juliette, I hear Dixie producers have made a decision about whether or not to impregnate Zoe. Unfortunately, they’re not sharing it with anyone. A show source would only confirm that “Rachel will appear in all upcoming episodes.” [x]
• Can you give any spoilers on Hart of Dixie, please? –Carol
  When the show returns at midseason, expect to meet Dr. Henry Dalton, a gent in his late 30s/early 40s who is not only handsome and charming but also one of the richest, most connected men in the South. Dalton is described as “the man that women want and men want to be… a walking Superman.” (Mr. Welling is 37, just sayin’!) [x]
• It’s so exciting that Rachel Bilson is expecting! Will Hart of Dixie do the same thing they did with you and film until her last day?
  You’ll have to see! It’s going to be so good!
  Can you give us any hints as to what fans can expect for season 4 of Hart of Dixie?
  It’s going to be really amazing because it’s going to be a lot of the original love stories and that’s something that I’ve wanting for a really long time and the rest of the cast. It’s going to be awesome. [x]
• Leslie: Any Hart of Dixie info to share with us? It's just so adorable!
  Prepare to meet Bluebell's volunteer fire department, which will be headed up by Jaysene, the spunky and sarcastic new coach who must get the rag tag gang into firefighting shape. Hm…we wonder which dashing Bluebell leading man will be rocking the uniform. (Fingers crossed, all of them.) [x]
• @ScottPorter: “@DefectivesCB: @ScottPorter what can we expect for George on season 4 on a few words?” Him to finally find himself. [x]
• @missmircea: Tansy is coming back to @cwhartofdixie and I couldn't be happier. [x] She answered that she isn't sure of how many episodes.
• CW president, Pedowitz, confirmed that Leila Gerstain is planning a pregnancy for Zoe Hart eventually. [x] [x] [x]
• ShareTV: I read that you’ve just been tapped to appear in Hart of Dixie season 4 as Doctor Henry Dalton for a recurring role! Are there any other details you can share yet?
  IAD: I’ll be playing the boyfriend of one of the main characters on the show. I come in and cause a little trouble with this cast member, but it’s all in good fun. The nature of this show is so sweet and wholesome and charming, so the turmoil we get into is kind of along those lines. I just finished working on it and I had such a great time, it was a great cast, great crew, and I look forward to that coming out. It was the first time I played a character that was really lighthearted and had that Southern Charm thing going on. I had to do a Southern accent for the first time, it was a lot of fun. [x]
• @MalloryAMoye “@klbush10: Hey girl!!!! How goes season 4 so far? A few of us HOD top fans are ssssoooo curious, we're dying!!!!” It's sooo good!!! [x]
• @mareecheatham: Thrilled to be in the first two episodes of #HartofDixie new season! Grandma Bettie tells the Breelands a thing or 2! [x]
• Umgirl19: Do you have any scoop on Wade and Zoe? #HartofDixie #spoilerchat
  While we don't have anything specific on our favorite Hart of Dixie couple, we do have some extra juicy scoop on the upcoming season of the CW's sweet, southern charmer. Remember when the network president Mark Pedowitz told E! News, "[Creator] Leila Gerstein is planning to have a pregnancy eventually happen to the character of Zoe Hart" when asked about how Rachel Bilson's ridiculously adorable real-life pregnancy might affect the show? That may be happening sooner than you think, since the show is currently casting a female obstetrician in her 40s for episode six. She is described as "a complete professional." We're crossing our fingers for a Zade baby! [x]
• Musical guest: @KrisOrlowski: Just wrapped shooting a special appearance on @CWHartOfDixie! [x]
• ‏@DTAagent: CONGRATS! Matthew Harris for booking #HartOfDixie OPPOSITE RACHEL BILSON..GREAT JOB MATTHEW! catch him also recurring on #LOVETHATGIRL [x]
• @mareecheatham: So excited to have been asked play Bettie Breeland in another episode of #hartofdixie! Wicked dialogue = great fun! [x]
• The girl playing Scarlett was cast as a recurring guest star. [x]
• Any Hart of Dixie scoop? —Julianna
  Is BlueBell big enough for two Zoe Harts? The CW charmer is looking for a twentysomething actress to play “Zoe 2.0,” a very attractive, fashionable, quick-witted, New York attorney struggling to make sense of life in the quaint Alabama burg. The character’s actual name isn’t actually Zoe 2.0. That would be weird and confusing. It’s Olivia Green. [x]
• Actress who plays Nettie Hollis in 405 will recur. Tweet was posted when they were filming 409. [x]
• Michael Nardelli will recur as Dr. Halston in 409 and 410 [x]
• Question: Aus, do you have anything to share for Hart of Dixie? —Nicole
  Ausiello: A few weeks ago, Matt Mitovich regaled you with a little ditty about Dixie adding a character that sounded like the 2.0 version of Rachel Bilson’s Zoe. Well, allow me to welcome you to Dixie‘s upcoming O.C. reunion, bitch, because Autumn Reeser got the role! (The actress took advantage of the 60 seconds I had my guard down yesterday and broke the news herself.) ICYM MM’s Inside Line item on the character, Reeser will play Olivia, a very attractive, fashionable and quick-witted New York attorney struggling to make sense of life in BlueBell. She’s set to appear in the Season 4 finale. [x]
• Question: My dear dear TV guru, I saw a very ominous tweet from the lovely Scott Porter which has me worried that Hart of Dixie will end after its upcoming fourth season. Please tell me it isn’t so! —Tina
  Ausiello: No official decision has been made about a fifth season, but I’m told producers hedged their bets and wrote a Season 4 finale that could serve as a satisfying series finale, if need be. Probably a smart move considering Dixie barely survived to see a fourth season. [x]
• Wilson Bethel says "the show is left in a really good place... It's really satisfying." [x]
• "We've had a lot of love triangles on the show and something that fans can look forward to this year are a lot of those love triangles kind of becoming concluded as far as the storylines go," Scott Porter told us last month. "You'll see some clarity as far as who people are choosing and who people are going to end up with." [x]
• @leilargerstein #HartOfDixie first teaser. This season, Tom Long will start a ride share company called Blu-Ber. [x]
• Any scoop on Hart of Dixie?? — Mary Kate
  If you’re wondering how the Hart of Dixie producers are going to hide Rachel Bilson’s baby bump this season, they don’t. Instead, Dr. Zoe Hart seduces Wade in an attempt to win him back (because sex always leads to love, amirite?) and ends up with a bun in the oven. Oh, and even though Hawaii Five-0’s Ian Anthony Dale would add some welcome diversity to BlueBell, he’s not sticking around. He’s just another one of Lemon’s fake boyfriends in an effort to snatch grandma’s funds for Fancie’s. [x]

Pedowitz confirmed 10-episode season 4, but it necessarily isn't the final season. [x] [x] [x]
Wilson Bethel has joined the cast of ABC's The Astronaut Wives Club as Scott Carpenter, the husband of Rene Carpenter played by Yvonne Strahovski. Because Astronaut Wives Club is a 10-episode limited series, with Bethel expected to appear in eight, and Hart Of Dixie has a 10-episode order, Bethel can successfully juggle both regular roles, filming the ABC drama while the CW series is on hiatus.
A CW rep contacted TV.com in response to an article they wrote speculating on HoD's future and said, "no decision has been made regarding the future of Hart of Dixie, so any discussion or reporting of whether or not the show will continue beyond the upcoming season is premature."
