Listen on Apple PodcastsFinals 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 know, academic desperation typically doesn’t bring out her best, but…just kidding, she’s terrible this time too. Todd’s movie has its own “Drew Barrymore in Scream “-type cameo artist: a movie star named Max Winter who is working with Spielberg next. Dawson gets way too jealous about it, possibly with just cause. Pacey’s boiler room is having a holiday party, so he invites Emma to come and even insists on buying her a new dress to wear for the occasion! There’s just one little thing about this particular party that he probably should have made sure to tell her before she showed up for it. Let’s all come together for our episode on “Everything Put Together Falls Apart”!

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 be a hang with all her friends, one of whom was kicking glass at him not very long ago. Jack and David get a pair, and David’s good old friend CJ also gets one after Jen literally runs into him in the record store and can’t sense the palpable tension between him and Audrey. And Pacey gets one because Jen thinks if he and Audrey just got back into proximity with each other, they’d work out all their issues. Some people forget their tickets; others misread them; shocking secrets are revealed…and we’re telling you all about it in our Hella Good new episode!

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 find out why. Freeman announces to the class that his new book has earned him a guest lecturer gig in Chicago, but before he goes, he has a bunch of things he’d like to not quite say to Jack. When Pacey and the rest of the aspiring stockbrokers pass their Series 7 exams, Rinaldi takes them all on a whirlwind trip to New Orleans to be disgusting in a whole other time zone.

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 her director and strangled her to death on camera. “That sucks,” says Dawson, and probably regrets his understatement when he starts seeing someone who looks a lot like Melanie flitting around the stage, eluding his attempts to chase her down. Is it just a costume party guest paying tribute to the late Melanie, or her actual ghost?! Speaking of the costume party: Pacey and Audrey also attend, dressed as Sid and Nancy, but the camaraderie of a couples costume can’t paper over the widening cracks in their relationship. Also present but almost entirely in their own silo are Jack and Jen, the former convincing the latter to invite CJ. When he shows up with a friend Jen immediately decides is not just gay but CJ’s boyfriend, Jack hatches a plan for them to split the two up and figure out their deal, but ends up wishing he hadn’t. Joey negotiates Eddie’s re-admission to Hetson’s class by agreeing to babysit his daughter that night, assuming she’s the 5-year-old in the photo on his desk. In fact, she’s a crabby teenager who’s not happy Hetson’s dumped her on a stranger so he can go on a date instead of honoring their Halloween tradition and taking her to a scary movie. Once she meets Eddie, she manipulates him into glomming on to their plans, but if you remember how similar plans went when Brandon Walsh and Emily Valentine weren’t quite a couple yet but still ended up looking after a kid on Halloween…well, things take a similar turn here.

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 Eddie when he defends her from another attack by Hetson, and Hetson turns his acid on Eddie instead, hinting at a secret Eddie probably doesn’t want everyone to know. Meanwhile, Audrey’s singing in Pacey’s shower convinces Emma that Audrey could front Emma’s punk band in its début performance. Todd is less concerned than Dawson that the slasher flick is already days behind schedule, though that changes when Heather the studio executive descends on the set to yell at him and threaten to fire Natasha. (Remember Heather? Played by Nicole Bilderback? S05 premiere?) Todd is apparently unable to defend his own choices, so it’s a good thing the 19-year-old CHILD he currently employs as his assistant is there to fix everything. Jack gets his first paper back in Freeman’s class, and wonders whether his unimpressive grade might have been a few notches higher if he’d positively responded to Freeman’s overture at the end of the last episode. We’re talking about all the false faces in our episode on “The Impostors”!

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. An adorable blonde library staffer helps him on his journey. AWAWT 246: Let’s Watch Michelle Williams In Dick ! In addition to a bunch of thinkpieces about the 25th anniversary of Richard Nixon’s resignation, 1999 also brought us Dick (lol) — in which teen BFFs played by Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst bumble innocently through a constitutional crisis, while wearing a series of excellent period outfits.

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 order. Could it be from– But no, it couldn’t. COULD IT?! (It is.) Pacey is very responsibly begging off a night with Audrey to study for his exam when Rinaldi orders him to come out clubbing with some of the big bosses. Audrey, Jen, and Jack are on their way to a house party when they round a corner just as some guy is bellowing about hitting up a strip club next. Could it…okay, yeah, it is. Lucky for Jack, this doesn’t change his plans, because what might be waiting for HIM at the party is destiny.

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 supposed to be smart? Shamefully embarrassing though this is, nothing is helped by Professor Hetson not just piling on but using class time to do it. The only saving grace is that her nemesis Eddie isn’t present to witness it, but don’t worry: Joey, the most important person in the city of Boston, tells him all about it — bitchily, of course. Pacey starts at Rinaldi’s stock brokerage, discovering that no one is going to hold his hand through the job and that sometimes people who work in finance are unethical; sorry if this episode description is how YOU found that out. Jack pursues every possible avenue to get face time with Professor Freeman, who either really doesn’t get why Jack is so interested in making himself known, or is just less reckless than Professor Wilder was.

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 into it?! Pacey makes it to his big interview and lands a spot in the stockbroker training program run by Rich Rinaldi (Dana Ashbrook); whether he can survive working for a second former Twin Peaks cast member (Ashbrook played Bobby) remains to be seen, but it does give Pacey the confidence to take another crack at Emma’s apartment. And Jen has a meet-cute — facilitated by Grams — with her new potential love interest: C.J., played by a pre- Supernatural Jensen Ackles.

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 fun summer with Pacey in L.A., their breakup is imminent. And Joey and Dawson…didn’t talk over the summer literally at all, not even once?!

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’ invitation, he starts giving her the guilts about it. Joey and Pacey, back in Capeside, wonder if they should be so passive about Dawson and Audrey winging off to Los Angeles and away from them.

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 bigger. Jack and Jen, of course, don’t have to pack up their rooms, but they are planning to pack some bags and go on a vacation together. But as soon as they’ve decided that their destination should be Costa Rica, Grams give Jen some bad news: her terrible parents bought a house in Easthampton and want Jen to spend the summer with them there. Pacey’s work life hasn’t gotten any easier: Alex is putting on a luncheon for investors to convince them to open a second Civilization in Philadelphia, and since everything has to be perfect, you’d think she’d try a little harder not to alienate her ENTIRE staff in the hours and minutes before her guests are due to arrive.

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 night together instead. Audrey babbles about Pacey keeping secrets from her — which he is, on Jack’s advice, regarding Alex’s kiss at the end of the previous episode. And a frantic Jack, missing crucial course notes and completely desperate, begs her to tell him anything she knows about multivariable calculus. Pacey seems to think he can handle whatever energy Alex keeps directing at him, but he also seems determined to ignore every opportunity to keep their relationship professional.

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 should drop out and go with him, as his girlfriend. When she immediately declines, telling him HE should totally still go if he wants, he’s not trying to hear that, deciding at this pivot point in his life that he needs to stay in Boston and devote all the time he formerly spent performing with her. Out of absolutely nowhere, Civilization gets sold to a conglomerate with a lot of big plans. Audrey and Pacey are both worried that new manager Alex Pearl (Sherilyn Fenn!) won’t want to keep them around. Only one of them is right. Oliver and Dawson have rescheduled their meeting with the New York agent who might be interested in representing them; while Dawson is eager to practice how they’re going to approach it, Oliver believes being himself is the way to go, and if you’re not sure how that works out, you haven’t been paying attention.

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 guard up around each other rather than admit that they actually want to be boyfriend/girlfriend. They haven’t even really gotten close when suddenly a ghost appears from Audrey’s past: Chris, her high school boyfriend of two years; on top of being, as Audrey puts it, her “Dawson,” he’s also a movie star in the making AND still hung up on Audrey. Speaking of being hung up: Charlie, who ignores Joey’s flirtatious sort-of rejections to find his way to her and try to push past the barriers she’s put up against him. While this is all going on, Dawson — en route to New York to meet an agent who likes the (still untitled) movie — regales Oliver with the hours-long story of his relationship with Joey, in the process convincing himself of something HORRIBLE.

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 is at a high emotional pitch: Joey is letting herself dream about getting something going with Charlie; Grams suddenly has a boyfriend; Oliver’s ready to pursue his crush on the now-single Jen; and Pacey has opened the door to investigating how many people Audrey slept with before him, getting answers he really doesn’t like.

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 up, having overslept and missed the van with the rest of the guys. Cue posturing from both alpha males that can only be defused with Audrey's timely, uh, intervention. The gig does give Joey an excuse to miss a trip back to Capeside for Lilly's first birthday party, but Grams, Jack, and Jen are required to go with him, getting a front-row seat to Dawson's heartbreak when he finds out Gale has made a single dad "friend" named Nathan. This is terrible timing for Jen, who had already announced to Jack before they left Boston that she was planning to break up with Dawson, but now doesn't want to add to his pain.

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 him from going with her to see a band she then has to interview for the radio station; she takes Audrey as her plus-one instead, which is convenient since Audrey needs a reason to keep her loins away from Pacey. And speaking of Pacey: he spends his evening with Jack at a bar that doesn't card, but that's not the only feature that sets it apart from Boston's many other watering holes; we don't know if it's a place where everybody knows Jack's name, but they probably have a pretty good idea of what he's into.

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 stranger; she has to make him and his whole family fall in love with her, too. Adam Grosswirth is really going above and beyond sitting in for our episode of "Downtown Crossing"!
