Episodes

11: DC S06.E11: Day Out Of Days
We’re following the teens of Dawson’s Creek through each day of a particularly eventful week. Joey, back at school after the holidays, is leaving dozens of messages for Eddie that are going unreturned, and she’s not the only one looking for him: Harley’s back, too. Jen has finally been worn down on volunteering at The Stand, and she must really be committed if she’s letting CJ train her at this st

10: DC S06.E10: Merry Mayhem
It’s the holidays, but not the peace on earth/goodwill to men kind. Joey weirds Eddie out by inviting him back to Capeside, which he declines, opening the door for Joey to make the same invitation to Audrey after Audrey drunkenly misses her flight back to Los Angeles. Pacey can’t wait to drive his new Beemer up to the Witter house and rub his family’s collective nose in all his financial success.

9: DC S06.E09: Everything Put Together Falls Apart
Finals are almost over, but the universe is punishing Joey by scheduling Hetson’s after nearly everyone else is done, and she can’t find a quiet place to study. Eddie’s offer to borrow his apartment while he’s at work is both generous and maybe a little strategic, since they do end up fooling around in a naked way that’s so tiring Joey falls back to sleep and misses most of the exam. As we all kno

8: DC S06.E08: Spiderwebs
Before Todd got into the flop movie business, he was a very well regarded music video director, which is how he knows No Doubt; that they are keeping tabs on him enough to give him like a dozen comps is kind of a surprise, but sure, why the hell not. Dawson gives them to Jen to distribute. Joey and Eddie get a pair, Eddie discovering while Joey hard-sells him that she expects their first date to b

7: DC S06.E07: Ego Tripping At The Gates Of Hell
As we know, Audrey is not doing so great. But since she’s being louder and crazier than ever before instead of talking to anyone about it, no one can quite tell exactly what’s going on until she starts pounding shots ahead of her latest Hell’s Belles gig and getting nasty to Eddie while Joey stands by uselessly. Actually, one person can tell what’s going on: CJ, and this is the episode where we fi

6: DC S06.E06: Living Dead Girl
It’s Halloween, and what do you know: the stage where Todd’s shooting his movie has spooooooky lore. Never mind that this is clearly all taking place in a warehouse that was MAYBE built in the mid-70s: a flash of an old screen test in some of Todd’s dailies leads him and Natasha to tell Dawson the story of Melanie Ray, a 50s movie star whose co-star husband found out she was having an affair with

5: DC S06.E05: The Impostors
Two pairs of sparring partners are still trapped in emotional tar pits: Joey can’t stop being hostile to Eddie, while even the Series 7-obsessed Pacey can’t help noticing that Audrey seems preoccupied by something, though he’s got so much studying to do that when she says she doesn’t want to talk about it, he’s only too happy not to press the matter. Joey is shaken out of her assumptions about Edd

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes from the club vault.AWAWT 201: Let’s Watch Michelle Williams In The Station Agent!Peter Dinklage plays a train enthusiast recovering from potentially terminal loneliness.

3: DC S06.E04: Instant Karma!
Dawson is back on set in Boston for the first day of shooting, and things aren’t going great. For one thing, Todd fired the PA who was supposed to pick up the leading lady at the airport, and someone who was already “a handful” to begin with doesn’t get any more mellow after being made to wait an hour. Back at Hell’s Kitchen, Eddie goes from a lecture about On The Road from Joey to a huge catering

2: DC S06.E03: The Importance Of Not Being Too Earnest
Joey’s got a lot of big feelings about how she and Dawson left things at the end of the previous episode, and she decides the best way to get them to him is via email. Then she sends it without noticing she has sent it not to Dawson but to “Campus Wide,” as in the entire Worthington student AND employee email list, because she clicked “send” WITH HER EYES CLOSED. Aren’t students at Fake Harvard su

1: DC S06.E02: The Song Remains The Same
The hours following the long-delayed consummation of Dawson and Joey’s intermittently romantic relationship are spent intermittently trying to define what it all means before Joey ends up at the set of Todd’s movie and finds out…Dawson has turned it into his childhood home. Should Joey be alarmed that Dawson’s dragging them both into the past? Should Dawson read into the fact that she seems so int

DC S06.E01: The Kids Are Alright
After spending a summer in their various silos, the credits cast are reuniting in Boston. Jen’s happy her parents are getting divorced; she’s not so thrilled that Grams is looking to expand her horizons. Jack had an offscreen relationship with Eric, and is now sneaking multiple guys (one at a time) out of Grams Manor as part of his continuing offscreen sex life. Audrey’s convinced that after her f

DC S05.E23: Swan Song
The school year is over and everyone is TRYING to move on to their next adventures, but figures from their past are getting in the way. A delayed flight lets Jack reunite with Eric, who’s decided against spending the summer trying to come out to his parents and has returned to Boston to work on himself. Jen is eager to get to Costa Rica, but as soon as Dawson finds out about her parents’ invitatio

DC S05.E22: The Abby
Schoooooooool’s! Out! For! Summer! Joey clears out her dorm room, bringing Audrey home to see if Capeside is as thrilling in person as it has been in Joey’s undoubtedly stultifying stories. Dawson gives them a lift, and manages to wait until the next day to tell Audrey that his new agent has found a producer in L.A. who wants to mentor him and Oliver on possibly remaking their movie into something

DC S05.E21: After Hours
Season 5 is almost over, and so is the semester at Worthington AND Boston Bay Colleges. While Joey stays put trying to study for multiple exams, everyone else rolls through to include her in their business. Dawson giggles so much at This Is Spinal Tap that Joey kicks him out to a screening of sex, lies, and videotape, where he runs into Amy fleeing Storytelling, and the two decide to spend the nig

DC S05.E20: Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)
Aggressive Mediocrity has been offered the gig of a lifetime: a ten-city tour supporting a Go-Go’s tribute band! If Charlie had any family that cared about him even a little, they might be telling him he shouldn’t drop out of his college classes in the hopes that he’s going to make it big with his college-town cover band, but he doesn’t, which is why he’s not only planning to go, but thinks Joey s

DC S05.E19: 100 Light Years From Home
It’s Spring Break! And even though Joey is not sure she cares to present herself as prey for the goons who are going to be headed to Florida to try to get on MTV’s cameras, she lets Dawson talk her into going to spend the week in Audrey’s parents’ beach house, where no one’s really capable of having fun: Jack is keeping secrets, Jen is getting a cold, and both Pacey AND Audrey are keeping their gu

DC S05.E18: Cigarette Burns
Dawson having Frankensteined Oliver’s still-untitled movie into some kind of barely viewable but still misshapen format, Oliver gets a great idea: to schedule a public screening on campus and invite a real film critic to come see it! Dawson didn’t know that part, which is how he manages to offend her within seconds of meeting her. Nearly everyone else who gets dragged into attending this nightmare

DC S05.E17: Highway To Hell
Why would the singer quit Charlie's band RIGHT before a big-break upstate gig they're getting paid decent money for? To give Dawson's Creek a pretext for Katie Holmes to sing not one but THREE pop songs, of course! Sigh. Audrey goes along because she wants to, and Pacey is convinced to drive her and Joey because he wants to keep fooling around with Audrey, then regrets it as soon as Charlie shows

DC S05.E16: In A Lonely Place
We're back from Joey's departure episode, and everyone has tons of plot to get through! Allegedly Joey's friends are taking turns babysitting her, though the only one we see her with is Dawson, which is how he gets a front-row seat to Joey's awkwardness around Wilder when she spots him on a date mere hours after he rejected her. Dawson is only on this platonic outing with Joey because Jen excused

DC S05.E15: Downtown Crossing
Remember how triumphant Joey was when she pitched that very fake snowball at a T sign at the end of "Guerrilla Filmmaking"? Well, we hope she does, because her night gets a lot worse from there: she's accosted by a mugger, and losing all her liquid assets AND her coat is just the start of her ordeal. It's also just the start of OUR ordeal, because Joey can't just survive a violent assault by a st

DC S05.E14: Guerrilla Filmmaking
All the excitement Dawson had about directing Oliver's movie has dissipated now that he's actually shooting it: Oliver is a terrible actor, the ending still doesn't work, and everyone has ideas that may or may not conflict with Dawson's vision. On top of that, learning lines is getting a little too Method for Audrey and Pacey, who's helping her; and Audrey's also getting caught up in the drama of

DC S05.E13: Something Wilder
The time has finally come for Dawson to quit screwing around and enroll at a school in Boston -- "Viz Arts," as he is apparently determined to call it. Oliver from the New Hampshire film festival spots him on campus almost immediately and wastes no time almost literally throwing his insanely long new script at Dawson and asking him to direct it. Possibly in part because Dawson can tell how much t

DC S05.E12: Sleeping Arrangements
Jen and Dawson have now been housemates nearly as long as they've been dating, and Jen is getting itchy: she's grossed out when Dawson wants to use her toothbrush (which he only has to because she commandeered his for makeup purposes) and violated when he starts going through her stuff in the bathroom. Jen channels these feelings into advice for the female students who call in asking for relation

DC S05.E11: Something Wild
Having said in the previous episode that she was relieved Jen was taking the responsibility of taking care of Dawson apparently doesn't preclude Joey from ALSO being jealous of them. And since the incredible grades she just got are worthy of celebration, she hits the club with Audrey and Pacey to take her mind off things. Running into Charlie should put her mind back ON Jen, but then he hits on h

DC S05.E10: Appetite For Destruction
Remember in the weirdly rescheduled Halloween episode when Pacey promised to make dinner for everyone when Jen and Dawson came back from New Hampshire? It's time. On their way in, Dawson and Jen agree to keep things low-profile before proceeding to mack on the doorstep AND in the foyer, where their friends all immediately witness them doing. Cue the entrances and exits as Jack worries that Jen an

DC S05.E09: Four Scary Stories
What better time to tell four scary stories than...right between Thanksgiving and Christmas? Here's the flimsy pretext: after coming home from a so-so horror movie, Joey, Jack, and Pacey make like a Treehouse Of Horror and tell their own stories. What happened to Joey in the library? Jack when he was alone in the frat house? Pacey on an improbable drive home with Karen? And what scarifying tale d

DC S05.E08: Hotel New Hampshire
On Dr. Weir's encouragement, Dawson decides he should go to the Hooksett, NH Film Festival and collect his prize for his documentary on Mr. Brooks. Since Jen is eager to get away from Charlie and Nora, Dawson suggests that she come...................as it were but NO SPOILERS. Jack invites Joey to be his date for the frat's winter formal, but when the call goes out at the house to hook unattached

DC S05.E07: Text, Lies And Videotape
With Jen's support, Dawson returns to Dr. Weir's office and finds out a lot: she thinks his panic attacks might be about more than just Mitch's death; he's entitled to be angry at Mitch even though he's dead; and, oh yeah, she's played by a pre-NCIS Pauley Perrette, looking just plain wrong as a blonde (yes, even with very dark roots). While Audrey gets a lovestruck film geek to help her with her

DC S05.E06: High Anxiety
Having ruled out any physical source of the periodic faintness Dawson's been feeling, Dawson's doctor recommends a therapist specializing in grief who works in Boston. Dawson doesn't tell anyone he has an appointment to see her, which may be why he only makes it as far as her waiting room before bailing to try to put on a brave face with his friends -- including Jack, who takes him straight to a

DC S05.E05: Use Your Disillusion
Having apparently exhausted his usefulness at home, Gale sends him to Worthington to hang out with Joey for a couple of days. Given Dawson's lack of interest in her when she was home for the funeral, she is nervous as hell about how the visit's going to go. Once he gets there, he doesn't seem especially psyched to watch a movie on her tiny TV even before they get to a scene that too closely mirror

DC S05.E04: The Long Goodbye
Mitch is dead, and everyone's stopped their lives to deal with it. All the Boston students, plus Grams and Pacey, come back for the funeral. (Evidently all Pacey's relatives -- including Gretchen, who lives less than a half-day's drive away -- had better things to do.) Jen doesn't know how to help Dawson, and says so to him. Joey thinks she does, and gets rebuffed. Dawson himself is handling as mu

DC S05.E03: Capeside Revisited
It turns out Danny's restaurant is quite a hot spot, which is how a scenester like Joey (sarcasm) happens to be there on one of Pacey's first nights working there. Jen readily confesses everything she knows about his time in Boston, including that THIS chance glimpse really did happen by chance, since Jen didn't know he worked there. Once Joey has heard that Pacey asked Jen not to tell Joey he was

DC S05.E02: The Lost Weekend
Dawson having shown up in Boston as none of us particularly wanted him to, he's had a delightful weekend (offscreen) with Joey. That all changes on his last day when he finally thinks to call his USC dorm room for the one and only message on his answering machine: the one Joey left, while drunk at a frat party, telling him that SHE. Is OVER. HIM. Or something like that. Suddenly, Dawson is incense

DC S05.E01: The Bostonians
Joey is working hard to deserve her spot at Worthington -- not just studying but grade-grubbing, particularly with her creative writing instructor Professor Wilder (Ken Marino!), and getting a reputation as an enemy of fun with her free-spirited roommate Audrey (Busy Philipps!). Over at Boston Bay College, Jack is trying to stay faithful in his long-distance relationship with Tobey while trying to

DC S04.E23: Coda
Dawson, naturally, got into the USC summer program, so we join him on his last day in Capeside. It's hard! His father is being very bossy about what kind of laptop Dawson should get and with whom he should be spending his last dinner before college. His ex-girlfriends Jen and Joey keep bringing up stuff they talked about three seasons ago. His absent best friend Pacey is phoning from "paradise" to

DC S04.E22: The Graduate
What comes after the episode after the prom? Graduation, of course! Joey is stressed about the speech she'll have to give as winner of the Pinnacle Award; it's a good thing Bessie had a premortem letter from their poor dead mom to hand off and inspire her. Pacey is stressed about passing enough exams to graduate with his friends, and while he's not as big a monster about it as David Silver was whe

DC S04.E21: Separation Anxiety
After the high emotion of "Promicide," couldn't we all use a little breather? (Also, let's be real: in a 23-episode season, you can't go straight from prom to commencement anyway.) Dawson is very slowly getting used to the idea of having lost Gretchen when Gale announces that she's leaving town, so he better try to get what closure he can in a hurry. Joey's moping around her Yacht Club shift when

DC S04.E20: Promicide
We've dealt with everyone hearing back from colleges, and you know what that means: it's time for prom! Joey's going with Pacey, even though he seems to have lost interest in kissing or looking at her. Jen and Jack are supposed to go as friends, but Jen is pretty determined to set Jack up with Tobey. And Dawson's going with Gretchen, who can't help remembering that...she's already done all this. E

DC S04.E19: Late
It's tough to be pregnant on TV! If your supposed loved ones aren't making snarky comments about how big you got to GROW A HUMAN PERSON INSIDE YOU, you're the butt of the "joke" of at least one and maybe several bouts of false labor. Ha ha ha? But not really. Poor Gale. Anyway: the Leery baby is two weeks overdue and it's an issue. When he's not hovering around Gale, however, Dawson has time to ho

DC S04.E18: Eastern Standard Time
It's Ditch Day for the seniors of Capeside High, but the ones we're watching are hardly enjoying carefree time off from school. Jen gets Joey to come with her for an interview with an admissions guy at the University of New York. Joey is excited to see all the sights on her list during her first-ever trip to the city, but she can tell Jen isn't doing so well and abandons her plans to look after he

DC S04.E17: Admissions
It's April, which means envelopes fat and thin are arriving in Capeside. Joey is jealous of the pile of acceptances Jack secured for himself and Jen, but doesn't need to be for long: she finds out she's been admitted to Worthington at the very same moment Dawson hears he's been rejected by NYU Film School. While Gretchen bucks Dawson up by reminding him that Mr. Brooks never went to film school, a

DC S04.E16: Mind Games
We're firmly in the last third of the episodes set in our cast's senior year of high school, which means it's time to reveal the winners of the senior poll. Somehow, Drue has weaseled his way into a position of moderate authority on the yearbook staff, apparently just to rig it so that the Class Couple is Joey...and Dawson?! Joey then has to downshift from acting like she doesn't care but is worri

DC S04.E15: Four Stories
After the events of the last episode, someone evidently decided the viewer needed to zoom in on various small groups of characters for some very intimate time. When Drue tricks Mr. Kasdan into leaving Joey and Pacey at the lodge, they discuss their night together, but Pacey's compliment-fishing puts Joey off. After Mr. Brooks's poorly attended offscreen funeral, Gretchen and Grams have to tag-team

DC S04.E14: A Winter's Tale
That senior ski trip Joey debased herself for in the previous episode: it's here! Pacey's trying to be breezy about it, given the uncomfortable sex conversation he and Joey had about it last week, but Joey's making that difficult. Sharing a hotel room with a longtime boyfriend who loves you and wants to have undoubtedly very gentle sex with you? Joey, some people have real problems. Like, for inst

DC S04.E13: Hopeless
Dawson is wrapping up his work on the A.I. Brooks documentary just as A.I. Brooks is wrapping up his affairs on earth, furtively hiding pills and getting Dawson to sign paperwork without giving him time to read it. Dawson might not have taken the time anyway, since he's focused on a big milestone with Gretchen: meeting her friends. Going out to a show with a couple of Gretchen's college friends th

DC S04.E12: The Te Of Pacey
Turning 18 puts a person through changes. For example, Pacey's decided HIS 18th birthday should be at a completely different time of year than his 16th. But never mind! He complains to Joey that his birthday is cursed, so all he wants to do this year is chill out at home with her, and she promises they will, and we all know that means she's implicated in his surprise party. The event -- to be held

But when a golden Florida State-bound quarterback (Paul Walker) suffers a career-ending injury, can his Vonnegut-reading understudy (James Van Der Beek) save the season?!

DC S04.E11: The Tao Of Dawson
Dawson decides to be the change he wants to see in the world, telling Pacey directly that he like-likes Gretchen before anything really happens between them. Predictably, Pacey's not about it, which is why the timing is perfect for him to accompany her to her college town to pick up the car she left there: Pacey knows this will necessitate interaction between Gretchen and her ex-boyfriend Nick (Ch

DC S04.E10: Self Reliance
Everyone is abuzz about the big kiss at the party in the previous episode. What did it mean? Was it strictly mistletoe-related, or should everyone be monitoring Dawson and Gretchen for couple-iness? Joey is clearly preoccupied yet also unable to talk about it like an adult, biting Pacey's head off when he tries to bring it up and finally kicking him out because he's...being too nice and offering t

DC S04.E09: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
It's Christmastime, but don't get too excited for the merriment yet: college application stress looms over (nearly) everyone. Not Joey, of course, who's invited to a Yacht Club dinner for prospective students of Worthington University. She spends so much effort convincing Pacey to go that she completely forgets how much she clenches up any time she's near a cloth napkin or multi-fork table setting

DC S04.E08: The Unusual Suspects
When Principal Peskin (Harry Shearer!) sees at the same time as most of his students that his little sailboat AND dog have been relocated into the indoor pool at Capeside High, he has GOT to find out who's behind the prank. When he narrows the suspects down to our three opening-credits boys, he and Mitch tag-team their interrogation of what they were each doing the previous day. We hear all about

DC S04.E07: You Had Me At Goodbye
In the wake of Andie's supposedly nearly fatal drug interaction at the rave, the Capeside friend group is in tatters. Even though Andie has been very clear in stating that Jen is not to blame for what happened, neither Jack nor Pacey can forgive her. When Jen won't oblige Drue by forsaking hope of making up with them and running to him instead, he schemes to FORCE her to spend time with him by con

DC S04.E06: Great Xpectations
People have a lot to celebrate at the top of this episode. Andie finds out she got into Harvard! Dawson's parents decide to be parents...some more! What great timing: there's a rave for everyone to go dance their faces off! After Drue's spamming finally convinces Jen to go, she digs her un-birthday ecstasy out of her dresser just in time for Andie to see her with it. Jen's description of the drug

DC S04.E05: A Family Way
Remember a couple of episodes ago when Mitch had a cold and Gale had a stomach bug? Well, he's all better but she just can't shake it...because it's not a stomach bug, actually. When the home test turns pink, Mitch is unreservedly excited about it, but Gale's not sure adding a baby to their mountain of new-restaurant debt and the college tuition they're about to have to pay for the crappy kid they

DC S04.E04: Future Tense
Ms. Watson, the new guidance counselor, is meeting with all the seniors about, what else, their college plans. Andie, of course, has gone the early action route, so her schedule is clear to start harassing Jack about his plans -- which were already pretty vague even before he took a bad jump at football practice and dislocated his shoulder. Joey is confident about the prestigious schools she's loo

The worst storm in 30 years is on its way to Capeside, and no one seems to know but Grams and the editors of the Farmer's Almanac. Drue's obnoxious behavior in English class having doomed himself, Joey, and Dawson to have a three-way Two Gentlemen Of Verona debate for class the next day, prep is underway during Joey's Yacht Club shift. (Why are the future debate adversaries preparing together? It'

DC S04.E02: Failing Down
School is back in session for the gang's senior year. Joey is excited to get through this to what's next, and Pacey's just excited to be around her. That only lasts until the end of the first day, when new temporary guidance counselor Mitch -- apparently on leave from his job as general manager of the restaurant -- calls Pacey in to tell him that instead of on the True Love he should have been in

DC S04.E01: Coming Home
After three months at sea, Joey and Pacey are finally returning to Capeside just in time for their senior year of high school, and a lot has changed in their absence. Dawson's taken up photography. Dawson and Jack have started a house painting business. Jen is trying a long-distance relationship with Henry, who got recruited from football camp to a fancy private school. Doug and Pacey's sister Gre

We Take Your Calls VI
After all the heightened emotion of Season 3, we thought we should take a breath...to take your calls! Get ready to hear us -- and your fellow listeners -- muse about such topics as what sorts of local violence might have been visited upon Dawson during his summer in Philadelphia, how best to support friends and loved ones who loved Dawson when the show was first on, what it was like to work at a

DC S03.E23: True Love
Since Gale and Mitch's second marriage is, let's face it, fake, they've thrown a ceremony together in a matter of days. They're also throwing Dawson and Joey together, because Gale -- (a) an adult woman who (b) works with one of Dawson's other very close friends -- has asked Joey to be her Maid Of Honor, meaning she and Best Man Dawson keep seeing each other on various nuptial errands. Even Dawson

DC S03.E22: The Anti-Prom
It's the penultimate episode of the season on a high school show, so of course it's time for the big dance! Dawson dredges up some long-ago pact that if he and Joey were both single, they'd go together as friends, and she agrees to honor it even though she clearly knows friendship is the last thing on his mind. Andie pretends to be entertaining several invitations to save face with Pacey. After ma

DC S03.E21: Show Me Love
The summer tourist season is kicking off in Capeside with a regatta. This might have been a low-key race for new sailor Pacey and the True Love, the little boat that could, if it were happening a couple of weeks earlier. Unfortunately, we're in the post-discovery era, so Dawson has to Dawson all over it. Leery's Fresh Fish is sponsoring the True Love? Fine: Dawson will just enter Joseph McPhee's b

DC S03.E20: The Longest Day (Corrected)
Production Note: This version fixed issues with Sarah's audio.It seems as though, once Joey broke the seal in the last episode and initiated a kiss with Pacey, they basically have not stopped kissing since. And that's a problem, because the longer they wait, the worse it's going to be when Dawson finds out. The plan is for Pacey to tell him. But then Joey stops him and says SHE should be the one

DC S03.E19: Stolen Kisses
It's spring break, but of course Capeside's biggest nerds aren't going to Fort Lauderdale: they're heading to Vermont for what is apparently their traditional visit with Dawson's Aunt Gwen (Julie Bowen!). Pacey wasn't going to come, but the kids' old and previously never-mentioned friend Will Krudski (Rodney Scott) made a surprise visit to pull a Jake Hanson-- er, tell us all his deal as a working

DC S03.E18: Neverland
Our joy at Pacey and Joey FINALLY having a good kiss is ruined by...well, Joey, acting like she didn't like it and isn't interested, so that Pacey, embarrassed, decides to pretend he didn't mean it. Bessie tells Joey to talk about it with a friend, since nothing Bessie is saying is what Joey seems to want to hear (okay advice); Doug tells Pacey to take Dawson somewhere nostalgic to remind him abou

DC S03.E17: Cinderella Story
AJ's about to be the youngest person in his department at Unnamed College to something something no one cares, and Joey's going back to Boston to be his date for a night of listening to him read his writing and then do some ballroom dancing. Pacey warns her not to get too caught up in the fantasy, tamping down her excitement before she's even gotten on the train. It's just as well, since AJ's so c

DC S03.E16: To Green, With Love
When Principal Green expelled him in the last episode, Matt Caufield warned him that his father was going to come after Principal Green with everything he had, and he wasn't lying: the episode opens with outraged parents screaming through an emergency meeting about this supposed attack on a boy who was just playing a prank. Also outraged: Gale, when she sees that her former intern Sherry, now a fi

DC S03.E15: Crime & Punishment
The school board and PTA have selected several student artists to create murals on the walls of Capeside High School, and Joey -- who recently remembered art was something she used to be into -- is one of them! Her concept involves a Chinese hanzi even though she's not Chinese herself, as far as we know; nevertheless, it is still sad when her work ends up getting vandalized. Pacey takes a break fr

DC S03.E14: Valentine's Day Massacre
Joey does NOT have Valentine's Day plans with "college boy," so what will the gang be doing for the Hallmarkiest of holidays? Attending an ANTI-Valentine's Day party thrown by Matt Caulfield, some rich jerk from school we've never heard of before -- and since the event is very secret and exclusive so it doesn't get raided by cops, finding it requires a little tradecraft. Everyone should be motivat

DC S03.E13: Northern Lights
It's time for the play! Andie's stressed as hell, and that's BEFORE Mr. Broderick has a medical emergency that requires her to take over for him entirely! Even though Joey's been helping Pacey run his lines, he still isn't off-book and NEEDS her to be there opening night! But...she can't, because she has a date with AJ to attend a northern lights party with a bunch of old nerds! The play is also J

DC S03.E12: A Weekend In The Country
Joey and Bessie's new bed & breakfast has finally opened, but since they spent every cent on the construction and left nothing for promotion, they don't actually have any guests. (They can't even ask their old friend Gale to do a puff piece on the opening, since she's been crapping out at every network she's applied to for a new job in journalism.) Pacey takes it upon himself to track down Fre

DC S03.E11: Barefoot At Capefest
Remember Ethan, the gay prep school kid Jack met on the train back from Boston? He's returned home again for Capefest, an ill-defined free music festival that seems to be mainly about camping on the beach. Though Jack is apparently not a fan of popular music, he is easily convinced to come hang out, making Jen come as backup. Also attending? Henry, a veggie burger-grilling, Bruce Springsteen-cover

DC S03.E10: First Encounters Of The Close Kind
Four Capesiders give Boston the old college try.

DC S03.E09: Four To Tango (Corrected)
Pacey's got problems all over his life. His FWB arrangement with Jen still hasn't led to any actual sex because they've never quite recaptured the magic of their one good kiss on Witch Island. He's failing most of his classes, so he needs Joey's help to get him through midterms, and the cost for the latter is partnering her in a ballroom class so that she can try to win the dance school's college

DC S03.E08: Guess Who's Coming To Dinner
It's Thanksgiving, and the plan is for everyone to gather at Grams's house -- even Pacey, since his family eats later, presumably because everyone hopes his dad gets drunk enough to sleep through it? Gale is living in the Leery guest room while she, and somehow not Mitch, looks for an apartment; Dawson is suspicious of how pleasantly they're getting along. Joey is missing her poor dead mom today m
