About this episode
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 incensed, so it's a good thing Joey has an administrative task to handle: it's the last day she can drop Professor Wilder's Creative Writing class, so she's going to be standing in an hours-long line while Dawson has Audrey give him the campus tour and listen to his bitching about his lonely loser life in Los Angeles. (Which we already had a glimpse of with that nearly empty answering machine.) Pacey turns out not to be a lonely loser on the yacht: he's seeing a rich girl named Melanie (future House and Once Upon A Time star Jennifer Morrison!), this summer's boat babe, and this one will even sleep with him. Pacey has just blown off a job hookup Doug arranged for him with his chef friend when Melanie casually picks up their lunch check at a fine dining establishment, because Pacey is unemployed. But the Pacey who loves taking care of people can't let THAT stand. Maybe working for Doug's friend won't be so bad! After days of fruitless wandering, Jen chances back upon Charlie during his show at the campus radio station. Tiresome flirting over 80s music and feminist literature leads them straight into bed -- oldest story in the world. Don't go anywhere: you've found our episode on "The Lost Weekend"!
