Again With This

Dawson's Creek, Melrose Place & Beverly Hills, 90210

Dawson's Creek  \\  S02.E21

Ch… Ch… Ch… Changes

Some people come, some people go, and some people stay because their crappy parents don't want them back in New York.

Jack having resolved, at the end of the last episode, to call his dad for help with Andie since he couldn’t put it off a single second longer, Joseph arrives with a distinctly unhelpful announcement: he’s selling the house and bringing the kids back to Providence so that both Andie AND her extremely offscreen mother can get full-time medical care. This is, of course, bad news: Andie doesn’t want to say goodbye to the best boyfriend any teenaged girl ever had, and Jack doesn’t want to resume living with a parent who definitely hasn’t accepted Jack’s coming out (and barely accepted him before that anyway). The McPhees’ possible relocation has Jen wondering if it’s time for her to leave Capeside too, but a call home to HER extremely offscreen mother lets her know that at least one move she took for granted as an option may no longer be available. After his stressful dinner with Miss Kennedy in the last episode, Dawson is stressed out about his final film assignment, but his idea of interviewing the people around him to describe their “character arcs” over the past year results in him learning more about Joey’s dad than he wanted to. Turn and face the strange: our episode on “Ch… Ch… Ch… Changes”!
