To Green, With Love

Matt Caufield's awful father makes good on his awful son's threats against Principal Green.

When Principal Green expelled him in the last episode, Matt Caufield warned him that his father was going to come after Principal Green with everything he had, and he wasn’t lying: the episode opens with outraged parents screaming through an emergency meeting about this supposed attack on a boy who was just playing a prank. Also outraged: Gale, when she sees that her former intern Sherry, now a field reporter, is on the scene filing the first of several obviously biased pieces about the situation. Pacey suggests to a fired-up Joey that she should organize a protest — something she doesn’t quite hear until AJ tells her the same thing. When Gale complains to Dawson about Sherry’s uninformed reporting, Dawson convinces her that the two of them could put together their own one-camera shoot telling the true story. But not everyone is on the right side of history: a concerned citizen vaguely threatening Bessie’s business has her too stressed to join Joey’s revolution. Listen to our podcast on “To Green, With Love,” made cordially yours by the two of us.
