While the residents of Bluebell prepare for their annual Planksgiving celebration, Zoe (Rachel Bilson) 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 thirty percent quota of patients by midnight or lose her share of the practice to Brick (Tim Matheson). Meanwhile, Lavon (Cress Williams) encourages Wade (Wilson Bethel) to be honest about his feelings for Zoe, and George's (Scott Porter) father (guest star Eric Pierpoint) offers him an opportunity to join his law firm in Montgomery, which isn't exactly music to Lemon's (Jaime King) ears.
