"uncharted waters"> On a weekend fishing trip, Pacey is once again at odds with his hard-to-please father, while believing that his shipmates, Mitch and Dawson, have the perfect father-son relationship. But Dawson's dealing with problems with his own dad. And Jack, whom Andie talked Pacey into including on the male-bonding weekend, is a total fifth wheel, since his dad is nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, inviting Jen, Joey, Andie and Abby over to film a news piece on teenage girls, Gale initiates a female-bonding session.

"his leading lady"> Using the prize money from the Boston Film Festival, Dawson is ready to begin filming his second movie, and everyone in Capeside is involved. Despite Dawson's effort to deny it, he finally concedes that the highly autobiographical film is his way of hanging on to Joey, who is fighting emotions of her own. Andie decides she no longer has time for a relationship - but Pacey won't go away that easily. And, while shooting Dawson's film, Jen meets a cute guy named Ty, who takes her to a party - a bible study!

"be careful what you wish"> Dawson's sixteenth birthday sparks some unsettling self-reflection he's no more grown up than a year ago, and the only part of his life that is clear to him is his feelings for Joey. Crushed that she still wants to be alone, Dawson becomes determined to have a little fun on his miserable birthday. Andie joins Dawson's mission, after her therapist prescribes a night of imperfection, and to Pacey's horror, the two goody-goodies show up drunk at Dawson's surprise party, where the guest of honor unleashes all of his bitterness at his loved ones.

"psychic friends">After being told by a fortuneteller at the Capeside Winter Arts Fair that a tall and dark man will enter her life, Joey meets an artistic stranger named Colin, who asks if she'll pose for him. Just when Joey thinks Colin will kiss her, he expresses interest in someone else. In the end, the soothsayer hits her mark, as someone tall and dark from Joey's past makes an unexpected visit. Meanwhile, when Dawson's new film teacher, who has Hollywood experience, tears his movie to shreds, he considers abandoning his lifelong dream to be a filmmaker. And, Jen helps Grams realize that she still has a life to live when a former high school classmate asks her to dinner.

"perfect wedding"> Biting off more than they can chew, the Potters take a job catering a wedding, and Joey enlists her buddies to help out. While trying to keep the dinner on time, Joey is preoccupied and conflicted about her father's return to Capeside. Meanwhile, feeling alone, Jen patches things up with Abby, hoping to stir up some fun. The two rebels crash the wedding reception, steal a bottle of champagne and head to the docks, where their drunken night comes to a terrifyingly sober and tragic end.

"rest in peace"> Just as Abby Morgan would have wanted, Capeside is reeling from her unexpected death. Disgusted by the hypocrisy of everyone's false grief, Jen tries to cope with her survivor's guilt and the loss of her friend. Meanwhile, Abby's mother asks Andie to give a eulogy at the funeral, not knowing the two girls were sworn enemies. Gale is offered a high profile network news job in Philadelphia.

"reunited">Stirred up by the trauma of Abby's death, Andie's repressed grief over her lost brother brings her dangerously close to the breaking point. Concerned, Pacey and Jack are torn about the best way to handle her escalating breakdowns. Meanwhile, a farcical situation ensues when the romantic evening that Mitch plans for his new girlfriend is interrupted by Dawson and Joey, celebrating their one month anniversary, and by Gale and Jen, out to drown their sorrows at Capeside's hottest French bistro. Trying to set things right between the Leerys, the kids cook up a scheme to reunite Gale and Mitch.

"ch.. ch.. changes"> Desperate to help his sister, Jack calls on their absentee father, who decides that Andie and her mother need to be under constant medical supervision. Pacey vows to fight to keep Andie in Capeside. Looking for a subject for a film project, Dawson zeros in on Mr. Potter as a person who has heroically changed, and regrettably discovers something that could destroy Joey. And, Jen contemplates setting off on her own.

"parental dicretion advised"> After Dawson confronts Joey with the knowledge that her father is trafficking drugs again; Joey is determined to handle the situation by herself. However, Sheriff Witter's growing suspicion and near-fatal event forces Joey to come to terms with the painful truth threatening to destroy her reunited family. Meanwhile, desperately missing Andie, Pacey blows off his finals and has a heartbreaking confrontation with his father.
