Synopsis[]
ZOE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE BLUEBELL HER HOME BUT IT DOESN'T GO AS SMOOTHLY AS SHE PLANNED - Hoping it might help the residents of BlueBell, Alabama accept her as one of their own, Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) agrees to join Mayor Lavon Hayes (Cress Williams) on his float during the Founder's Day Parade, but, unfortunately, accidentally crashing the float doesn't exactly help Zoe win over Lemon Breeland (Jaime King) and the residents of BlueBell. To make matters worse, the town's golden boy, George Tucker (Scott Porter), informs Zoe that contractually she needs to bring in thirty percent of the business or Dr. Brick Breeland (Tim Matheson) will have the option to buy out her half of the medical practice. Wilson Bethel also stars as Wade Kinsella, Zoe's new neighbor. Zoe deals with Lemon's visiting cousin, Betty, whom is showing signs of the early onset of multiple sclerosis, but wants to keep her medical a secret. To avoid having to perform at the parade, Zoe asks her to fake having glenoid labrum tear. But she ends up performing after Dr. Brick Breeland checks it. Jason Ensler directed the episode written by creator and executive producer Leila Gerstein.

Notes/Trivia[]
- The term "Rammer-Jammer" came from the title of a 1920s-era student newspaper, while the Yellowhammer is the state bird of Alabama.
- The reason why Zoe Hart crashes the parade is due Betty Breeland's accident on a parade float
Mistakes/Goofs[]
- Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Zoe calls her football uniform for the parade a "football costume", and Emmeline corrects her that it's a uniform not a costume. But when Zoe first met Lavon, she knew quite a bit about football and should know it's a uniform.
Episode Title[]
'Parades & Pariahs' is a fairly explicit title- referring to the Founder's Day Parade, while pariah, by it's very definition as 'someone who is rejected' refers to Zoe and her ostracism from the rest of Bluebell.

MS affects the ability of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord to communicate with each other effectively. In MS, the body's own immune system attacks and damages the myelin. When myelin is lost, the axons can no longer effectively conduct signals. The name multiple sclerosis refers to scars (scleroses—better known as plaques or lesions) particularly in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of myelin. Although much is known about the mechanisms involved in the disease process, the cause remains unknown.
