Episode #101 - Dirty Dancing


original air date: 1/27/98

In the movie that Dawson is making, Joey's character is supposed to kiss Pacey's, but when she refuses Dawson decides to kill her off and create a character for Jen instead. When Jen is supposed to kiss Pacey, Dawson gets upset. Jen talks with Joey, and says something to the effect of "I'm planning on making it really hard for you not to like me." Pacey confronts Tamara on a number of occasions, and she keeps brushing him off. Later, they decide to keep their relationship teacher/student, but then kiss again. A teacher finally allows Dawson to sit in on his film class during his study halls, and Dawson is outraged to find that the film that they are making is about the experiences of Cliff, the school football star. Dawson gets even madder when he finds out that Jen is going to the dance with Cliff, when he himself had planned an evening with her that included their first kiss. He gets advice from his father, and Joey overhears that and then hears his mother talking with that other man again and confronts her. Dawson drags Joey to the dance, where he trys to split up Jen and Cliff and ends up making a fool out of himself. Jen is mad at first, but forgives him and then dances with him.
