Dawson (James Van Der Beek) views some of Mr. Brooks's (special guest star Harve Presnell) old movies and lavishes the former filmmaker with praise, only to be rudely dismissed.

Elsewhere, Jack (Kerr Smith) suspects that Jen (Michelle Williams) has lost interest in filing her college applications.

Quotes[]
❝
- Gretchen – You sound like a guy who just broke up with this girl. And he's happy he broke up with her; at least he says he is. And he goes on and on about how much better off he is without her. But the thing is, he can't stop talking about her. Everything comes back to this girl. You love this girl, Dawson
- Dawson – And that, oddly enough, has not kept her from breaking my heart time and time again
❝
- Jo, this world, it is opening its doors to you. And when you step through, you are going to be such an amazing part of all this. And wherever you chose to go, you're doing them a favor. Not the other way around
- —Pacey
❝
- I just wanted these people to see you through my eyes for one night. To see this girl. This woman, who has more class and intelligence and beauty and grace than anyone else who's walking the face of the planet. Maybe things like this just come tumbling out of my mouth because I happen to be head over heels in love with you. But the really scary thing is, I think that they're true
