Okay, so for this being an episode I've been dying for, I'm not sure I loved it as much as I should have. I just wish we'd stayed with the Lemon/George stuff and cut out the bachelorette party and Zoe's date with Wade's brother. We had so much important stuff going on, I feel like those things detracted from it.
George is busy trying to figure out if he actually saw Lemon and Levon or if he imagined it. He's staging reenactments and asking Zoe if he could have PTSD related hallucinations from his dad. Zoe tells him he probably didn't see anything, but it's obvious she feels awful about it. As soon as George leaves, she calls Lavon to discuss with him.
However, he's going to the bachelor party with George, Wade, and some other guys. And they've got a strict no phone policy. When she can't get Lavon, Zoe heads over to Lemon's to tell her that George saw them the night prior. Lemon tells her it's okay since George is on a hunting trip, but Zoe tells him that Lavon went with them.
This forces BB to tell Zoe that she'll be coming on the bachelorette party bus (with Lemon 100% did not want) to take care of the issue. On the bus (which Magnolia planned, even though Lemon was very specific about what she wanted), Lemon tells them they have to make a quick stop to talk to George. When they get to the camp, they find out George and Lavon are getting firewood alone and the two girls go after them.
On the walk, George starts with the leading questions to Lavon about what he did last night and who he was with. His answers are different from what Zoe told him earlier. Eventually it seems like both men realize there is no longer a point in beating around the bush. This happens just as Zoe is trying to convince Lemon that everything will probably be fine. And then they hear to the two of them argue about kissing his fiance.
Lavon is trying to apologize and tells George that Lemon had nothing to do with this. He kissed her (and has a crush on her), but she didn't kiss back and pulled away immediately. But BB (to her credit) says that's not true. She totally played a part. In private she tells George the truth, that she and Lavon had an affair. While he was in NYC she didn't feel loved. And she's so so sorry. He tells her not to be since it's over now. Thinking he means her affair, she agrees. But it turns out, he means their relationship and breaks up with her.
Lemon and Magnolia are back on the party bus where Magnolia tells her Breeland women don't quit and don't give up. BB decides to continue the party. Magnolia tells her it's fine to not party about a wedding that's no longer going to happen, but she's sure it will. I have no idea if this is delusion on her part, or she really thinks that 'by not quitting' she can win him back.
Later, George is waiting for Zoe when she comes home. She apologizes for lying to him, but tells him she was put in the middle and she hated it. George comes to the conclusion that they were never friends and leaves. I get where he's coming from though. And Zoe, as well. She was put in the shittiest of situations. But, at the end of the day, she chose Lavon over George.
This sucks. Even though Lemon and George have finally broken up, there doesn't seem like there is a path for him and Zoe right now. I know, I know. Drama. But we finally made it to this point. To be fair though, I'm much more invested in Lemon and Lavon getting together. I hate her, but I love him and he seems to think she's what will make him happy.

I get that it's sad that her George broke up with her right before they were gonna be married and i do feel a tiny bit for her but at the same time Lemon brought all of this upon herslef becuase how are you gonna cheat on your partner and just straight up not plan on telling them until said secret is about to be revealed. I mean come on she was literally not planning on telling him at all (apart from the one time she almost told him a couple of episodes back before reverting back to not telling him) and even tried to convince herslef why it's moral not to tell him but he needed to find out becuase nobody deserves to be cheated on and lied to especially not someone as nice and amazing as George and what makes it worse is that the cheating wasn't just a one time deeply regretable encounter but a full blown affair. I'm happy that Lemon seems to be feelling some sort of guilt over it wich she should. I hope they don't get back togther becuase George deserves better. I hate that Lemon and Levon put Zoe in the middle of it and now George is mad at her too even though she was put in a impossible position and that's not really her fault. But also understand where George is coming from as he just found out about the secret affair and someone he thought was his friend lied to him and is just hurt but hopefully him and Zoe can mend things. I hope this moment becomes a character building moment for Lemon to eventually become a better person because now she's been put off her judgemental high horse maybe she will realise how she needs to do and be better and how your actions have consequences and how nothing is ever really kept secret for long not matter how much you want it to. I mean we have been seeing some tiny and slight changes in her personality the past couple of episodes where it seems like she may be on her way to becoming a nicer person before reverting back to her old self but hopefully those small glimpses of her being nice becomes permant and she truly does become a nicer person without any strings attached to it and intern become a more tollerable character.
