He says that it’s nice for someone to care about his life’s work and she says his life’s work is stupid and that you can get better medical advice online.
Mags stomps out and Rose comes back in. He says that Magnolia is being dramatic but Rose tells him his daughter has a point. Mags is only home for one night and instead of being home with her, he’s there showing her old x-rays. He takes this to heart.

Lavon and Gainey keep tying and they are at match point again. George tells Riley he feels like he’s been there a week. Gainey scores a point and the Comptroller says they have a winner.

Gainey asks what he’s implying and Lavon accuses him. George says they can pull the security footage. The Comptroller isn’t happy. Gainey says he just loves his town so much.

Davis asks AB what her answer is and she says they need to get out of there. They run out of Fancies.
Brick comes home and Mags tells him she’s sorry she’s not into medical things. He says she was right and he was enjoying hanging out with Rose and showing her his work stuff.

Wade says he’d like to do it but he won’t go to the wedding.
Wade says he has work. He says he got an offer to franchise the Rammer Jammer and Zoe tells him that’s amazing. He says he was going to tell her but then the whole Earl thing happened. He says he’s going to be in Atlanta opening up the next Rammer Jammer. Zoe asks how long he’ll be gone and he says he doesn’t know. She tells him she’s happy for him and congratulates him.
