26 Favorite Femslash Moments of 2014
17. Hart of Dixie – Crickett and JayseneAfter years of being married to a man the whole town suspected of being gay, Crickett surprised everyone by coming out herself in the middle of her vow renewal, unable to hide any longer. In this next episode, she’s still reeling in the aftermath, but determined to live true to herself, being more open with her friends about being a lesbian, watching The L Word for tips, and deciding to date. Unfortunately, she can’t find any other lesbians and really doesn’t even know how to begin to look.
Meanwhile, Jaysene has been brought in to train the town’s motley group of volunteer firefighters. She’s tough but competent, and is of course being fought over by two of the guys. She turns down any invitations for dates, though, saying she already likes someone.
This being a season premiere, there was so much going on, and I didn’t draw the logical conclusion I should have, but that just made this sudden scene that much better. It’s so simple, just someone asking someone else out to dinner, but how many times has it involved two women and happened with so little angst or hype or buildup? It’s just so cute, with Jaysene’s earlier forcefulness evaporating in the face of her nerves, Crickett just about keeling over in happy surprise and their twangy accents and that darned strummy guitar starting up, like it was just the start of any old romance.
