Though his life has mostly sucked lately, Dawson gets some good news for a change: his horror movie won a special award at the extremely offscreen film festival in which he entered it, and the prize is a not insignificant amount of money to help him make his next movie. (Oof, the threat inherent in that phrase: Dawson's NEXT movie.) He's excited to reunite with Joey, his producer on the last film, but since they worked together she's developed her own interests and isn't going to have time to be a helpmeet on his. Dawson actually responds to this in a very selfless way, but then he sees Jack walking up to take Joey out on a not-quite-date and decides maturity is for chumps and he'd rather go to a "kegs and eggs" party with Jen and all the other degenerate local teens. Pacey and Andie are getting close enough for her to let him come study at her house and interact with her mother, which is how he happens to be in the right place at the right time to help Andie manage a crisis. We hope you don't feel reluctant about our episode on "The Reluctant Hero"!
