DC S04.E14: A Winter's Tale

That senior ski trip Joey debased herself for in the previous episode: it's here! Pacey's trying to be breezy about it, given the uncomfortable sex conversation he and Joey had about it last week, but Joey's making that difficult. Sharing a hotel room with a longtime boyfriend who loves you and wants to have undoubtedly very gentle sex with you? Joey, some people have real problems. Like, for instance, Jen, who can't stop slipping on ice and injuring herself, requiring herroommate Jack to look after her. The close quarters and liberated mini-bar lead them to some unexpected places. Back in Capeside, Mr. Brooks -- having ODed on his hoarded pills -- is in a coma. His doctor (Tony "Buster Bluth" Hale!) has to be the one to tell him the content of the "lawyer talk" on the paperwork Dawson signed in the last episode: Dawson is Mr. Brooks's health care proxy, so how long the hospital staff keeps Mr. Brooks technically alive is up to Dawson. He seeks counsel from everyone he knows, but it's one surprise visitor who proves the most instructive of all. Get cozy while we tell you all about "A Winter's Tale"!

DC S04.E13: Hopeless

Dawson is wrapping up his work on the A.I. Brooks documentary just as A.I. Brooks is wrapping up his affairs on earth, furtively hiding pills and getting Dawson to sign paperwork without giving him time to read it. Dawson might not have taken the time anyway, since he's focused on a big milestone with Gretchen: meeting her friends. Going out to a show with a couple of Gretchen's college friends throws their age difference into stark relief, as does Gretchen talking about him like he's less of a boyfriend and more of a boyfriend-shaped body pillow. Meanwhile, Joey is trying to barter a couple of precious weekend nights off work at the Yacht Club by making Drue's date with Anna, daughter to the Club board president, a double. Mrs. Valentine makes it clear she'll only grant the time off if Drue's date Anna has a great time, so both Joey and Pacey have to run interference to draw attention away from Drue's stank attitude. Tobey tries to take Jen's advice by being friends with Jack, suggesting that Jack join him tutoring middle school kids, which is extremely cute...at first. We hope you'll enjoy our episode on "Hopeless"!

DC S04.E12: The Te Of Pacey

Turning 18 puts a person through changes. For example, Pacey's decided HIS 18th birthday should be at a completely different time of year than his 16th. But never mind! He complains to Joey that his birthday is cursed, so all he wants to do this year is chill out at home with her, and she promises they will, and we all know that means she's implicated in his surprise party. The event -- to be held at the Witter family home -- coincides with what was to have been Gretchen and Dawson's first date, and Gretchen may be a little too eager to bag that plan in favor of her family obligation; she also makes it clear that although she's bringing him to the party, she doesn't want Joey or Pacey or anyone in her family to know she and Dawson are dating, if they even are, which Dawson obviously takes as a slight. While the birthday boy doesn't die of an accidental gunshot as happened at Scott Scanlon's birthday party, this one is...almost as bad. And Joey doesn't help by trying to ignore Pacey's dark mood and unhelpfully suggesting that he just try harder to get along with his awful parents. (By the way, playing his awful mother: Jane Lynch!) Elsewhere, Jen satisfies her last five community service hours giving safe rides to drunk teenagers, and you'll never guess what civic-minded homosexual also happens to volunteer with the organization: Tobey! Jen uses the occasion to talk up Jack, while Tobey tells her all about his hopelessly devoted James Dean-alike boyfriend Greg; calling him "perfect" not once but twice juuuuuuust might be a tell.

Special: The Southern Accent Showcase

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes chock full of drawl. AWAWT 226: Let's Watch James Van Der Beek And Ali Larter InΒ Varsity Blues! In a small Texas town, high school football is everything. But when a golden Florida State-bound quarterback (Paul Walker) suffers a career-ending injury, can his Vonnegut-reading understudy (James Van Der Beek) save the season?! Also features Ali Larter and an unorthodox use of whipped cream. AWAWT 230: Let’s Watch Luke Perry And Linden Ashby InΒ 8 Seconds! It seemed like every single interview with Luke Perry in the early ’90s talked about 8 Seconds, the bio-pic about rodeo star Lane Frost starring Perry and directed by Rocky helmer John G. Avildsen. But is all the ancillary intel around the movie more interesting than the movie itself? Shirtless Dylan, a lesser Baldwin, Shelley Tambo from Northern Exposure, Melroseβ€˜s boring-est leading man, and an almost famous β€œbuckle bunny” are all part of the conversation, so throw on some turquoise bracelets and join us!

DC S04.E11: The Tao Of Dawson

Dawson decides to be the change he wants to see in the world, telling Pacey directly that he like-likes Gretchen before anything really happens between them. Predictably, Pacey's not about it, which is why the timing is perfect for him to accompany her to her college town to pick up the car she left there: Pacey knows this will necessitate interaction between Gretchen and her ex-boyfriend Nick (Christian Kane, later of Angel and Leverage!), so Pacey can totally manipulate them into getting back together rather than have Gretchen get closer to Dawson! In theory! While Gretchen is out of his immediate vicinity, Dawson has awareness of other people -- specifically, Grams and Mr. Brooks, who have evidently gotten closer since Mr. Brooks's failed overtures at the Christmas party. What is Dawson's duty to Grams, knowing that Mr. Brooks is ill? Elsewhere in Capeside, Drue is very much not looking forward to a visit with his father, so it's just as well that he happens to shut them into a Yacht Club storage closet, then break off the knob.

DC S04.E10: Self Reliance

Everyone is abuzz about the big kiss at the party in the previous episode. What did it mean? Was it strictly mistletoe-related, or should everyone be monitoring Dawson and Gretchen for couple-iness? Joey is clearly preoccupied yet also unable to talk about it like an adult, biting Pacey's head off when he tries to bring it up and finally kicking him out because he's...being too nice and offering to take household responsibilities off her hands (like the care of Alexander while Bessie and Bodie are out of town). Joey's martyr complex has the worst possible consequence: she beefs an English test! OH NO!!!!! Meanwhile, when Dawson himself isn't dodging questions about the kiss and insisting that he and Gretchen are just friends, he's doing what everyone has been dying for: making another movie! He's excited to learn more about Mr. Brooks for his documentary project, but a little concerned that Mr. Brooks seems to be losing his grasp on movie trivia. Is Mr. Brooks...okay? In another silo, Jen gets an extremely reluctant Jack to join her for a trip to Provincetown for a Gay-Straight Alliance meetup. Jack instantly clashes with Toby (David Monahan), the seeming leader of the group, for daring to care about his and his friends' rights -- not that Toby helps himself by dismissing Jack as a straight-passing jock.

DC S04.E09: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

It's Christmastime, but don't get too excited for the merriment yet: college application stress looms over (nearly) everyone. Not Joey, of course, who's invited to a Yacht Club dinner for prospective students of Worthington University. She spends so much effort convincing Pacey to go that she completely forgets how much she clenches up any time she's near a cloth napkin or multi-fork table setting, and recedes into the background as Pacey charms the alumni rep. As for everyone else: Dawson watches Mr. Brooks's last movie, Turn Away, My Sweet and is blown away (my sweet) -- so much so, perhaps, that when he has to write his essay for his application to USC film school, he's only able to write around the prompt question of why he wants to be a filmmaker. Jack finishes all his applications and is concerned about the very vague answers Jen's giving about hers -- and about the silent treatment Grams is STILL giving her after the rave fiasco. Gretchen learns that the Leery Christmas parties she loved have a kid have been suspended in her absence the last few years due to...well, divorce; she convinces the Leerys to let her throw one at the house, which conveniently lets everyone use it to hash out their issues -- even Grams and Mr. Brooks!

DC S04.E08: The Unusual Suspects

When Principal Peskin (Harry Shearer!) sees at the same time as most of his students that his little sailboat AND dog have been relocated into the indoor pool at Capeside High, he has GOT to find out who's behind the prank. When he narrows the suspects down to our three opening-credits boys, he and Mitch tag-team their interrogation of what they were each doing the previous day. We hear all about Pacey's ride-along with Doug; Dawson's discovery that Mr. Brooks also spent high school dreaming of a career directing films; and Jack replacing Andie with Jen for soccer duty, just in time for some of the gay-tolerant dads who DIDN'T pull their kids off the team to reveal that their support is conditional on Jack doing what they want with player assignments. Lurking at various points in everyone's stories is...Drue? Well, that's curious! We suspect you'll enjoy our episode on "The Unusual Suspects"!

DC S04.E07: You Had Me At Goodbye

In the wake of Andie's supposedly nearly fatal drug interaction at the rave, the Capeside friend group is in tatters. Even though Andie has been very clear in stating that Jen is not to blame for what happened, neither Jack nor Pacey can forgive her. When Jen won't oblige Drue by forsaking hope of making up with them and running to him instead, he schemes to FORCE her to spend time with him by confessing to his part in the drug handoff and getting them both sentenced to community service together. Meanwhile, Joseph has a wild suggestion for Andie: since she's already earned enough credits to leave high school right now, maybe she just...should? And go live with an aunt in Florence until it's time for commencement? Andie doesn't feel great about leaving when everyone is in a big fight, and feels even worse when Jack gives her the guilts about it. Speaking of guilt: the last piece of Joey's application to Williams College is a peer recommendation from the person who knows her best. Naturally, this becomes a whole thing as she has to decide whether that person is the one who's been at every pivotal moment since she was barely out of diapers, or the one who got to know every pore on her body when they were living in extremely close quarters for three months and not, say, THE ONE WHO'S KNOWN JOEY HER WHOLE LIFE AND RAISED HER AFTER THEIR MOTHER DIED.

DC S04.E06: Great Xpectations

People have a lot to celebrate at the top of this episode. Andie finds out she got into Harvard! Dawson's parents decide to be parents...some more! What great timing: there's a rave for everyone to go dance their faces off! After Drue's spamming finally convinces Jen to go, she digs her un-birthday ecstasy out of her dresser just in time for Andie to see her with it. Jen's description of the drug experience is a little too exuberant -- particularly given that Andie's already disappointed that her antidepressants have flattened her highs along with the lows so that her academic achievement doesn't feel like anything at all -- and before you know it, Andie has snuck one of Jen's tabs. Dawson tags along with Pacey, Joey, and Gretchen, and in the car ride over Joey can't help noticing how flirty they seem and asks Gretchen if Dawson might think things are going anywhere with her. Gretchen laughs off the idea, but can't help returning to it. Crank up the Burkittsville 3: it's our episode on "Great Xpectations"!

DC S04.E05: A Family Way

Remember a couple of episodes ago when Mitch had a cold and Gale had a stomach bug? Well, he's all better but she just can't shake it...because it's not a stomach bug, actually. When the home test turns pink, Mitch is unreservedly excited about it, but Gale's not sure adding a baby to their mountain of new-restaurant debt and the college tuition they're about to have to pay for the crappy kid they already have -- and the fact that the crappy kid they already have is already moping around jealous of the baby that isn't even here yet probably doesn't help. Dawson seeks advice from Gretchen, who already had to nudge the Leery men toward the obvious conclusion with regard to Gale's symptoms, and gets a lot more than he expected. Joey has noticed that Pacey keeps cutting off their makeout sessions when she would be fine continuing, and confides in Jen that she thinks he's getting frustrated that she's still not ready for sex. Jen is a very good friend who gives her very good advice about being prepared for sex whether she's currently ready or not; maybe Jen also could have told her about hiding her take-home package from the clinic in a place where someone else might chance upon it while putting away Joey's socks. Andie's latest scheme to buff up Jack's college applications is for them both to volunteer as youth soccer coaches, but when one player's sister comes on to Jack WAY too hard, Jack blurts that he's gay and immediately wishes he hadn't.

DC S04.E04: Future Tense

Ms. Watson, the new guidance counselor, is meeting with all the seniors about, what else, their college plans. Andie, of course, has gone the early action route, so her schedule is clear to start harassing Jack about his plans -- which were already pretty vague even before he took a bad jump at football practice and dislocated his shoulder. Joey is confident about the prestigious schools she's looking at until Ms. Watson tells her that ranking fourth in her class is no guarantee of anything and a full scholarship anywhere is probably an impossible dream. Dawson is annoyed that everyone expects him to go to film school when there's so much more to him! Maybe! Pacey isn't even bothering to think about it. Jen is mainly focused on getting Drue to leave her alone, which isn't going to happen any time soon: he's told everyone it's her birthday and is throwing a rager in her honor. Yay, Drunk Joey's back!

Special: Let's Watch Two First Daughterseses!

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes full of first daughters. AWAWT 190: Let's Watch Monica Keena And Doug Savant In First Daughter (1999)! 1999's TBS "action" movie First Daughter has a lot of hilariously fake stunts and log-like acting from Mariel Hemingway and Dominic Purcell (with hair!) -- but Monica Keena and Doug Savant bring more dimension and ease to their performances than we probably had the right to expect. Listen now for more on late-nineties tech and unrealistically outdoorsy teens! AWAWT 191: Let's Watch Katie Holmes And Melissa Rivers In First Daughter (2004)! Dawson's Creek girls STAY playing presidents' defiant daughters: just one week after we considered Monica Keena in the role in 1999's First Daughter, Katie Holmes and Buffy The Vampire Slayer star Marc Blucas bring us their romcom take on what it's like to be a teen girl with a father who's running the free world.

DC S04.E03: Two Gentlemen Of Capeside

The worst storm in 30 years is on its way to Capeside, and no one seems to know but Grams and the editors of the Farmer's Almanac. Drue's obnoxious behavior in English class having doomed himself, Joey, and Dawson to have a three-way Two Gentlemen Of Verona debate for class the next day, prep is underway during Joey's Yacht Club shift. (Why are the future debate adversaries preparing together? It's more convenient for the plot that way, of course!) Presumably Joey's only getting away with all this slacking because Mrs. Valentine is an alumna of one of Andie's safety schools, and is busy interviewing Andie as a prospective applicant; their conversation quickly becomes an investigation of Andie's mental health. Since Joey couldn't join him, Pacey is celebrating his first-ever A by going sailing with Jen, which is why they're on the water -- with a dead radio -- when the storm starts to kick up. Once it gets too dangerous for Pacey to try to return to shore, he decides to head for a cove so secret he doesn't even know its name, but trusts that Dawson does. But given Dawson's record as a seaman, surely there's no one left in town who would let him borrow his boat, which is why it's a good thing that crotchety old Mr. Brooks (Harve Presnell!) showed up in his for his weekly prime rib special at the club, and that Drue knows where to find his spare keys.

DC S04.E02: Failing Down

School is back in session for the gang's senior year. Joey is excited to get through this to what's next, and Pacey's just excited to be around her. That only lasts until the end of the first day, when new temporary guidance counselor Mitch -- apparently on leave from his job as general manager of the restaurant -- calls Pacey in to tell him that instead of on the True Love he should have been in town making up the three junior classes he failed in summer school. Mitch alerts Dawson that Pacey's in big trouble, and though Dawson is a bitch about it, he does hear it when Mitch suggests that he pass the news on to someone who does care if Pacey lives or dies. Speaking of whom: Joey needs a job, and Andie recommends that she apply to wait tables at the yacht club, which is full of cute rich boys and big tips...here at the end of the tourist season. Never mind: Joey takes Andie's advice and lies about connections to big wigs on the club board, getting her hired on the spot, and putting her in the path of "Owen Ross," scion of the family she claimed to know. Jen is starting to get antsy that she hasn't heard from Henry in a while, but no, his email account isn't offline: he gets in touch with Jack just fine, wussily asking HIM to tell Jen Henry wants to take a break.

After three months at sea, Joey and Pacey are finally returning to Capeside just in time for their senior year of high school, and a lot has changed in their absence. Dawson's taken up photography. Dawson and Jack have started a house painting business. Jen is trying a long-distance relationship with Henry, who got recruited from football camp to a fancy private school. Doug and Pacey's sister Gretchen (Sasha Alexander, the future Isles of Rizzoli & Isles!) has taken a year off from college, and taken Pacey's spot on Doug's couch. Bessie has made the B&B profitable, perhaps in part by renting out her sister's room. Here's what hasn't changed: Dawson still sucks. Pacey and Joey decide how best to strategize about their reunion with Dawson (and boy, THAT'S probably something they didn't miss doing all summer) with an assist from Jen, trying to salve her guilt over her part in how Dawson found out about Joey and Pacey in the first place by easing Joey and Dawson back into each other's proximity. Does Dawson deserve this kid-glove treatment? You already know the answer! Deep in the background, Andie meets and flirts with a couple of French guys, one of whom looks a LOT like that gay kid Danny from the then-most recent season of The Real World in New Orleans!

We Take Your Calls VI

After all the heightened emotion of Season 3, we thought we should take a breath...to take your calls! Get ready to hear us -- and your fellow listeners -- muse about such topics as what sorts of local violence might have been visited upon Dawson during his summer in Philadelphia, how best to support friends and loved ones who loved Dawson when the show was first on, what it was like to work at a Dawson's-affiliated retailer at the turn of the millennium, and much much more! (Don't think YOU'RE getting off the hook, Sugarman.) Climb onto the nearest sailboat and listen!

DC S03.E23: True Love

Since Gale and Mitch's second marriage is, let's face it, fake, they've thrown a ceremony together in a matter of days. They're also throwing Dawson and Joey together, because Gale -- (a) an adult woman who (b) works with one of Dawson's other very close friends -- has asked Joey to be her Maid Of Honor, meaning she and Best Man Dawson keep seeing each other on various nuptial errands. Even Dawson, however, is having an increasingly difficult time pretending that Joey wouldn't rather be elsewhere, particularly once she finds out about Pacey's plan to spend the summer sailing to Key West on the True Love. She's still so oppressed by her supposedly beautiful friendship with Dawson that she won't admit what she really wants. Will Pacey's choice to paint "ASK ME TO STAY" on the wall he rented for her change her mind? Jen is still pouting so much about Henry daring to go to football camp that Grams gets sick of it, throws Jen in the car with the McPhees, and hits the road to try to run down his bus so Jen can get over herself and kiss Henry before he goes to Ohio. It's a good start, but isn't Grams's other boarder Jack also carrying a torch for someone who might want a smooch from him...? It's no lie: we made all our sweethearts (you) a new episode about "True Love"!

DC S03.E22: The Anti-Prom

It's the penultimate episode of the season on a high school show, so of course it's time for the big dance! Dawson dredges up some long-ago pact that if he and Joey were both single, they'd go together as friends, and she agrees to honor it even though she clearly knows friendship is the last thing on his mind. Andie pretends to be entertaining several invitations to save face with Pacey. After making a huge production about how retrograde the prom concept is, Jen invites Henry. And Jack is planning to bring Ethan, until the ticket-selling troll tells him it's not allowed. Andie and Joey are ready to boycott the event, but then Dawson gets the idea that they throw a competing dance for the two gay guys and everyone else who'd rather be on their side. When Pacey does finally invite Andie, the stage is set for Dawson to rub Pacey's face in Dawson's continuing ability to control Joey. Oh and also Gale and Mitch are fooling around again, but we're trying so, so hard not to acknowledge them at all. Even though most people have an anti-good time at the event, you should still listen to our episode on "The Anti-Prom"!

DC S03.E21: Show Me Love

The summer tourist season is kicking off in Capeside with a regatta. This might have been a low-key race for new sailor Pacey and the True Love, the little boat that could, if it were happening a couple of weeks earlier. Unfortunately, we're in the post-discovery era, so Dawson has to Dawson all over it. Leery's Fresh Fish is sponsoring the True Love? Fine: Dawson will just enter Joseph McPhee's boat, the Carpe Diem; THEN ask the McPhee siblings if he may use it; THEN pay the sponsorship fee himself but sail on behalf of the Potter B&B. When will he have time to learn the rules of sailing? Great question: he won't, and that's going to be a problem. In the far background, Jen has been giving Henry the silent treatment ever since he tried to fool around with her when Grams wasn't home, so he's been holding a silent vigil everywhere she goes, holding up a sign asking her to forgive him. No one is sufficiently annoyed by this behavior, least of all Jen. Show US love by listening to our episode on "Show Me Love"!
