True Love

Ohhhhh, the name of the boat was foreshadowing!

Since Gale and Mitch’s second marriage is, let’s face it, fake, they’ve thrown a ceremony together in a matter of days. They’re also throwing Dawson and Joey together, because Gale — (a) an adult woman who (b) works with one of Dawson’s other very close friends — has asked Joey to be her Maid Of Honor, meaning she and Best Man Dawson keep seeing each other on various nuptial errands. Even Dawson, however, is having an increasingly difficult time pretending that Joey wouldn’t rather be elsewhere, particularly once she finds out about Pacey’s plan to spend the summer sailing to Key West on the True Love. She’s still so oppressed by her supposedly beautiful friendship with Dawson that she won’t admit what she really wants. Will Pacey’s choice to paint “ASK ME TO STAY” on the wall he rented for her change her mind? Jen is still pouting so much about Henry daring to go to football camp that Grams gets sick of it, throws Jen in the car with the McPhees, and hits the road to try to run down his bus so Jen can get over herself and kiss Henry before he goes to Ohio. It’s a good start, but isn’t Grams’s other boarder Jack also carrying a torch for someone who might want a smooch from him…? It’s no lie: we made all our sweethearts (you) a new episode about “True Love”!
