Trivia
- The kiss between Adam Kaufman (Ethan) and Kerr Smith (Jack) was the first ever kiss between two men in network TV history.[1][2][3]
- However, Ethan got back together with his ex-boyfriend Brad so the kiss leads nowhere but Jack's dad takes a big leap forward and consoles his son.
- Dawson lets Joey go to explore her feelings with Pacey.
- Joey finally admits that she is in love with Pacey and she asks to sail away with him.
- The scene where Dawson bursts into tears as Joey leaves became the Internet meme known as "Dawson's Crying Face".
