    Wade cheating on Zoe is just completely out of character.

    It was a good episode, but it bugged me the obvious easy way out was what they went with for the breakup....
    And seriously (and it has been bothering me in the last few episodes) why and how does Tansy actually HATE Zoe so much....

    That is what bothers me the most about it being the case.... I don't find it plausible.

    I didn't like it much. There were parts that were great. But Zoe and Wade breaking up, even though I knew it was coming. Bothered me more than I even though it would. Wade had evolved so much and for him to take such a step backward seems so out of character for him now. I just think it was a bad move on the writers part to do this so early on in their relationship. I think they could possibly lose some viewership. Hopefully that's not the case, but I'm honestly not looking forward to what's to come with them apart, not because of the love relationship, but their scenes together and chemistry were one of a kind on this show. It's going to be tough to watch. Hopefully it all works out by the season finale. Quite a bummer of an episode.

    What happened to Wade's accent? When he was talking to her in the beginning of the show, he sounded normal (not southern).

    I'm so frustrated by this... I know there was more to the episode than Wade and Zoe, but that's all I can take away at this point. It's like the writers panicked at the thought that they might not get a third season, so they had to break up Zoe and Wade in order to explore the possibility (I'm assuming) of Zoe and George... things were going so well. And excuse me, but Wade cheating on Zoe? I don't think so. I really don't think it's plausible at this point in his character.

    I wanted to get in here before someone brought it up but I was too late. Oh well. So, here's the thing. Wade didn't do anything out of character.

    If it's one thing Hart of Dixie clearly established from the beginning is that Wade Kinsella is a screw up with self-esteem issues. So, why did Wade cheat? Because he's still a screw up with self-esteem issues. It's unrealistic to expect anyone who has lived their entire adult life in a constant haze of hedonism, booze, and irresponsibility to turn into a mature, responsible, trustworthy individual in a year's time without some major setbacks along the way.


    Fans, and especially 'shippers, have idealized this get-together from the very beginning but the fact is that, emotionally speaking, these are two very flawed individuals. One of them was bound to mess things up in a big way and my money was always on Wade.

    I don't think what Wade did was out of character. He has cheated before. I just can't believe the writers had him do that to Zoe. He has had strong feelings for her since the beginning and I didn't think he could ever hurt her like that. I'm disappointed because they were actually building such a great relationship. I also don't think the breakup scene was done very well. I think this is also going to affect Wade's friendship with Lavon, big time.

    Love Wanda and Tom's wedding. They're super cute!

    I think Wade is two characters: one the screw-up idiot who is too insecure to make good life choices (like with the loan lady or to get a joke) and two the emotionally intuitive guy who needs a second chance and to believe that he deserves better (like with Crazy Earl or the boy scout kid). The problem is most of the time he's with Zoe, he reads her like a book and she acts like a crazy person and he works around it. There was a huge story starting with her saying he didn't have any ambition (true or not it was mean), to her thinking Wade needed Golden Boy's help to get his dream and the idea of her dismissing Wade and going George should have been an issue, as was her not actually being there to support him. But instead they focused on Wade reverting to bad habits and put it all on "Wade's a screw up with self-esteem issues." I mean he took all of her you can't do it on your own but flipped out at the sign and then she didn't show up? Wade flat out lying to Zoe's face that felt OOC to me. Even the trust issues with Tansy kinda felt out of left field with me. Wade and Tansy had such a joking carefree attitude towards each when we met them. He even thanked her for not holding him to the fidelity clause in their "marriage." Wade may be occasionally dumb, but he isn't cruel and if they'd had cheating problems that would have been cruel. And cheating on Zoe and lying to her face was cruel. And the way the show did it with George being mad at him felt strange. George has been totally hands off Wade for most of the season--including last episode, he could have tried to help him taken him home etc but nope told him to pull it together and then let him fail. After all the mistakes and holding back and generally crappy girlfriend Zoe has been, it felt like a slap in the face for them to make Wade cheat and then show up in her house like no big deal. I might be able to see him cheating and have the episode be look you didn't believe in me, you don't have anything in common with me, you went to George because you don't think I'm good enough, so yeah, I proved you right, lashing out. Maybe it was how they wrote it, maybe it was because they forced you to flip teams to feel bad for Zoe or whatever, maybe it was the butt out Golden Boy anger side, but I felt like I got whiplash from the episode and I didn't like it.

    I’m sorry, but last nights episode was a deal breaker for me. This season started SO good! I absolutely LOVED Zoe & Wade’s relationship! Yes, they had problems, but what relationship doesn’t? But they also have serious chemistry, they have the opposites attract, they’re fun, quirky and Wade really gets Zoe and I loved how he accepted her, crazy and all. People are saying his cheating isn’t out of character, he’s done it before, well, yes he has but he was never in love with those women like he is with Zoe. So for me, having Wade cheat as a way for the writers to break them up is just lazy and lacks creativity. And do they not realize the damage they have done to a great relationship AND character?! Even if they did get back together, I don’t know if it would ever be the same for me. I would always remember him as a cheater (which is unforgivable in my book). In my mind Zoe & Wade belong together, so I don’t care who they bring in, or who they have planned for her in the future, I will never buy into that relationship. Not when they ruined a perfectly good one for it. Maybe if Zoe & Wade had run it’s course and people lots interest, but the relationship was still hot! No “Moonlighting” curse there! I, for SURE, will not watch her get together with George! Unless they do some hard, fast backpeddling, I won’t be watching this show anymore. I think the writers made a serious mistake writing in this “cheating” scandel.

  14. Marion Dubreuil27 February 2013 at 14:57

    I totally agree to that. I'm pretty sure this is the point, on the season final the girl will appear and say something like "Hey Wade or you in a better shape than last time ? Because last time you were just so drunk, speaking of how much you love that Zoe girl and fell asleep like a looser without even touching me" I'm reassuring myself with that !

  15. Marion Dubreuil27 February 2013 at 15:21

    The writers are playing with our minds and that kind of reaction is exactly what they are trying to do. You say that you won't watch, but you'll die to know what is going on.!

    No. When I say I'm done, I'm done. Greys ruined it for me and after watching from the beginning I haven't watched one ep this season. I will check back here maybe to see what comes of this cheating and if the writers can turn this around maybe I'll reconsider.

    Since the beginning of the relationship, Zoe has taken Wade for granted. She has been an horrible girlfriend in my opinion and I liked how the show was showing the flaws of this couple, specially when Zoe said that he didn't have a career. I always thought that Wade would sabotage his own relationship because of some low self-steem issues, but I didn't thought he was going to cheat. It would have been better if Wade broke up with her without explanation (the reason being that he thought she deserved better than him or some George-related issue) or because Wade got mad and tired of she taking him for granted. That way, Zoe would have time to miss him and realize what she did wrong.


    Now, with the cheating, Zoe will look at herself like the poor victim who gave him a chance and he screw it up because he is Wade and he can't be a better man. Now, George is again the perfect man, the perfect boyfriend and it will absolutely affect Lavon and Wade's friendship. I get that the writer want to give George/Zoe a chance (maybe they are scared they are going to get canceled) and I know George/Zoe has to happen but i am afraid they have damage Zoe/Wade pretty bad. I hope the next episodes is about Wade becoming a better person (opening his own bar, for example) so in the future we can have Zoe/Wade again without the shadow of the cheating between them.

    "Wade flat out lying to Zoe's face that felt OOC to me."

    This is far from the first time Wade has told lies on this show. Wade also has a track record of self-sabotage and he habitually refuses to address his own feelings and shortcomings in anything resembling a healthy way. He almost completely went off the deep end before he told Zoe anything close to how he really felt about her and when he did he backpedaled and played their relationship off as casual when he felt nothing close to casual about Zoe. At every step of this relationship, Wade put the burden onto Zoe whether it be to define or progress the relationship in any way. Why? Because Wade is too chicken to truly be emotionally honest and put himself out there. I like Wade but Wade is an emotional coward who will lie to himself and to others to protect his own feelings. Nothing Wade did in this episode was out of character to me. Wade has a real ugly side to him and always did. The difference is that before it was always told as anecdotes and/or played off as a joke. Well, it's not a joke this time.

    What do you want? Zoe did admit that she had her flaws and who doesn't have flaws? It's a trend of this show for Zoe to have her own quirks that might be challenging for her relationship with Wade, like wanting attention, or recognition, etc. but she did come around and apologize. I like how flawed the characters are. If you want Zoe to be a perfect angel with no mistakes and errors whatsoever, you're watching the wrong show dude.

  22. Feekk28 February 2013 at 13:56

    So, what you wanted to happen was that Wade cheated on Zoe and told her straight away? Not telling her straight away indicated that he's a cruel person? Did it ever occur to you that you might lie because he was scared? "Oh I did a very wrong thing and let's admit it on the microphone on the stage!!" Is that it? And you blamed George for it now? Did you notice that he was fired from the band just because he was speaking up? My God, you are no worse than Bieber fan who just can't find flaws in the character that you like.

    This episode is top-notch! I think this is the first time I saw the saddest Zoe Hart. She broke my heart. Both of Zoe and Wade's acting was really good. Wade apologizing out of heart and out of remorse was very genuine and real. Yeah writers, you made a couple audience mad by breaking them up, who cares, but let me tell you something, you did a good job. Keep it up!

  25. lsbloom28 February 2013 at 15:45

    I was totally on board until you got to the "real ugly side to him" I don't feel like hiding behind a cavalier attitude is ugly. Cowardly? Emotionally immature? For sure. It's not like Zoe is super emotionally mature, she's a basketcase and not a very nice one. But none of Wade avoiding his feelings or downplaying them was mean (that first date where she acted like he wasn't good enough to even have a conversation with? that was mean, but seeing that she was crushing on George and not wanting to fight for her wasn't), he is so afraid of letting people down that he doesn't try in the first place. I can understand underpromising and overdelivering. What you see if what you get.


    The coming to her house like no big deal, taking a shower then the calm, calculated lie was what got me. If he'd been angry or defensive or avoiding her then lied, I could see it coming from a place of self-hate and cowardliness. But there's an arrogance to a lie like that, and he did it really smoothly, which he's never been able to do in the past.


    I am also surprised that the writers would break them up in such an irrevocable way. Even Bethel said he was surprised with where they are taking Wade and what he is doing. Like I knew they were going to break up, this just felt like a really weird way to do it. Maybe they were trying to get people back to Zoe's side and felt like they'd sacrificed too much to the relationship that they couldn't keep her damaged and quirky with Wade anymore she was looking bad. But I never like sabotaging other characters to improve someone. When you have a character that they have grown and developed as much as Wade, reverting him back to the most unevolved state and then sinking him even lower feels OOC to some or at least a major step backward. My problem is it came so quickly and then they've given him a whole different set of coping mechanisms than we've seen in the past. It doesn't feel like Wade.

  27. Bruce_F28 February 2013 at 19:03

    To me, Wade's cool demeanor and emotional disconnect seemed like another defense/coping mechanism. He knew what was going to happen because of what he did and he was protecting himself emotionally from the fallout.

    I will agree with you in one significant way:
    "I am also surprised that the writers would break them up in such an irrevocable way."


    That seems like a no-win situation for everyone involved. It wouldn't be the first time that someone was given a second chance after cheating but the show dissolved the relationship in such a grim way and a dark tone that it did indeed seem irrevocable as you mentioned.

    "And cheating on Zoe and lying to her face was cruel"

    and

    "he could have tried to help him taken him home etc but nope told him to pull it together and then let him fail"

    I don't care that you blamed it on the writers, or the show, or that it's OCC and you might want to say after this that you took a drama class, or anything that might imply that you know better (which you did before), you still sound like a frustrated fangirl here. I can't take you seriously.

    That is what I was saying, that I liked how HoD was showing the flaws of both characters in their relationship. What I mean is that making Wade do something as extreme as cheating (even when, again, I knew that their break up should and would happen because of his self-steem issues) kind of neutralize her flaws in the relationship because now he is, without any doubt, the one who screwed up their relationship. I just would liked best to see them break up because a combination of their flaws and not because of one of them cheating. That's my opinion, anyway.

  30. Feekk2 March 2013 at 01:31

    OK, that's understandable. I was also really hoping that Wade didn't cheat and when he said that he didn't cheat in the beginning of the episode, I sighed in relief but then we found out that he lied. I'm a huge Zade shipper but then what to do. First relationship usually doesn't work out. It's a great episode anyway.

    I looked few comments below and I think that the writers did their job very well! Why? Becouse now everybody discussing the issue. For me, the way that Wade behave was his secound nature, that he was trying to cover for a long time, but another failure in his life and he forgat that there is Zoe out there. That just shows how strong their bond really was! Secound chance? maybe, but thirst he has to grow up!

    Maybe I wasn't clear.
    I didn't mean to say it was out of character. I meant that at this point in the story, the way his character has been developed I don't find it likely that, even though he has a tendency to be a cheater, he would cheat on Zoe. It is a HUGE character regression and with the way it was set up I find it hard to accept that he would regress so much under that situation.

  34. Folie-lex10 March 2013 at 01:16

    I don't think anyone is saying that it was out of character. I certainly wasn't. I believe he has it in him to cheat, even on Zoe. It was the set up and the point in which they were in their relationship where I'm finding it hard to believe it would happen. It felt rushed and out of nowhere. I needed more conflict beforehand.

    If, for example, he had been more torn up and insulted when she made the "work gratification" comment and he had a harder time forgiving her about it then maybe I'd buy more into this. As things were? Mmmm... not so much....


    It's part of why I think it was the easy out.

    "Oh Wade's a cheater. Let us having him cheat on Zoe. Forget trying to give it some good basis... He's a self sabotaging low self esteem cheater. It can pass no matter what!"
    The way their relationship and Wade's character have been developed, I needed more reasons than JUST that...

  35. Bruce_F10 March 2013 at 21:21

    I don't think it was an easy out by any means. Any actions taken that are true to the character aren't easy outs, they're just logical courses of action. However, I will not dispute that this plot was poorly executed from a writing standpoint.

  36. Leks11 March 2013 at 04:34

    Oh I completely agree with everything you said. Also typo on my part, I meant to say "The breakup scene *wasn't done very well". It just isn't very likely at this point and isn't really believable. I think the writers were just looking for a way to end their relationship so that they can bring up the George/Zoe storyline eventually. They just did it poorly. I think Zoe & Wade are end game! The writers are probably just creating a bump in the road for now. Personally I think George and Zoe are boring together. I enjoy their characters separately, I just don't think they should date.

  37. Folie-lex17 March 2013 at 08:15

    I guess this goes back to how differently we view the "cheating" route in terms of storytelling. Since you don't consider it contrived and cliche then I can see why it wouldn't bother you. But since I do I think writers opting for it is the easy out and lazy writing, for any TV show, I will not make an exception here.
