Synopsis

THERE'S A NEW KID IN TOWN – Dawson (James Van Der Beek) experiences an identity crisis when Principal Green's (Obba Babatundé) daughter Nikki (Bianca Lawson) emerges as another aspiring young director, and Joey (Katie Holmes) experiences her own crisis when Dawson won't open up to her about the pain of his parents' (Mary-Margaret Humes and John Wesley Shipp) divorce. Meanwhile, Jack's (Kerr Smith) first efforts to hit on another guy are rebuffed, Pacey (Joshua Jackson) and Andie (Meredith Monroe) uncomfortably find themselves sharing the same afterschool activity, and Jen (Michelle Williams) realizes that she may have passed up the chance at something special with Henry (guest star Michael Pitt).

Trivia

• Andie becomes assistant director of the school play to try and forget about Pacey but Pacey ends up the male lead in the play to get a C in English.
• Dawson is going through an identity crisis and takes down all of the posters in his room. He replaces it with a poster that Joey gives him which is a reference to Imagine by John Lennon and was from their childhood.
• Henry and Jen rekindle their friendship after not talking for a month after Jen broke his heart.
• Henry plays an acoustic cover of "No Surrender" by Bruce Springsteen. It seems to be a lip sync by the actor.
