Capeside Revisited

A couple of Capeside boys return to Massachusetts and get very different receptions.

It turns out Danny’s restaurant is quite a hot spot, which is how a scenester like Joey (sarcasm) happens to be there on one of Pacey’s first nights working there. Jen readily confesses everything she knows about his time in Boston, including that THIS chance glimpse really did happen by chance, since Jen didn’t know he worked there. Once Joey has heard that Pacey asked Jen not to tell Joey he was in town, Joey starts spinning out that he must not want to see her. Fortunately, Audrey is there to convince her to get over herself. Dawson is also still hanging out in Boston, dragging his feet on telling his parents that he wants to drop out of USC and move to Boston. When he finally does, Mitch is stern and judgmental to Dawson while admitting to Gale that he really did miss Dawson and wasn’t upset to see him back. Neither parent thinks it’s a great idea for him to change his college plan to spend more time with a girl he’s not even dating, and they’ve obviously got a point. Jen starts overthinking her relationship with Charlie, forcing them both into a sex fast so that they can actually have conversations and learn about each other. And Jack finds out he has one specific attribute that made the Sigma Epsilon brothers want to pursue him as a pledge. Visit our visit to “Capeside Revisited”!
