Hart of Dixie is an American television comedy-drama created by Leila Gerstein for The CW, with executive producers Gerstein, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Jason Ensler, and Len Goldstein. The series first airs Monday nights at 9:00 p.m. as a lead-out to Gossip Girl. The series stars Rachel Bilson as Dr. Zoe Hart, who aspires to be like her father and become a cardio-thoracic surgeon. After four years of residency at New York Hospital, Zoe does not get a fellowship and takes up an offer to move south to work in a small medical practice. On April 26, 2013, The CW renewed Hart of Dixie for a third season.
During the first season of the series '&' was formatted into the episode titles with a play on words or alliteration. The only episodes not to feature this were "Pilot", "Hell's Belles", "Heart to Hart", and "The Big Day". Seasons 2 and 3 use country music songs as titles of the episodes, such as the season 3 episode 16 "Carrying Your Love with Me" by George Strait.
As Bluebell is hit by an intense heat wave, Zoe discovers that the hot weather makes everyone act differently, and with a lot less inhibition, it takes all of Zoe's strength to ignore her heat-induced attraction to Wade until it gets the best of her. Meanwhile, Lemon prepares for the arrival of George's family, determined to win them over, but her uptight emotions get the best of her when Lavon shows up to the same restaurant with his date, Didi.
