COMING UP NEXT | "The second half of the season will find Zoe and Wade attempting to embark on a real, grownup, boyfriend/girlfriend, monogamous relationship and everything that entails," showrunner Leila Gerstein tells TVLine giddily. "Which is obviously going to be difficult for both of them." That said, expect lots of couple-y moments for the two, including dates, fights and (even more) sexytimes. Tansy and George will also attempt to make a go of it, but it won't be easy with "the four of them trying to navigate living in the same small town." Unfortunately, things are looking "very grim" for Lemon and Lavon when Dixie returns -- "Worse than ever," Gerstein reveals. Oh, and did we mention there's a wedding on the way? Because there is! (proposal in 2x15, wedding in 2x16)
