Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

Pacey and Joey are going for dinner in notably nice restaurants and trying to kiss when he walks her back to her dorm room, so why haven’t they nailed down exactly what they currently are to each other? Unclear, but here’s what won’t help: Rinaldi firing Pacey’s new assistant because she’s in her forties and suggesting Pacey replace her with the much more nubile Joey. As any of our listeners could probably predict, Joey is incompetent yet entitled even before Pacey’s Mystery Girl from the Christmas party returns, now identified as Sadia Shaw, a financial reporter who’s VERY interested in Pacey’s rapid rise as a broker but who Joey can only see as competition for her maybe man. In Los Angeles, Dawson successfully pitches Heather yet another take on his own autobiography, but questions how much he actually wants to get it made if doing so requires reimagining it as a teen sex comedy with heart that revolves around a stripper. CJ and Jen return just to have an implausible all-day fight about how much or little they’re boning. We’re going upside your head (where your ears are) with our episode on “Sex And Violence”!

Whether or not Felicity wants to acknowledge it, sexual tension has been simmering between her and Noel since they met, so when Noel interrupts their titular game of Boggle to kiss her, it’s not a huge shock to anyone but her. However, Meghan spreading rumors that the two of them are doing far more than smooch have one huge deleterious effect: Elena gets suspicious that “sexual conspiracy” has tainted the dorm’s mini-fridge lottery. Felicity has to deal with the fallout from Meghan’s big mouth while keeping tabs on Ben’s tryout for the UNY track team — something she’s lucky he hasn’t noticed she’s currently obsessed with. Nothing could be simpler or more straightforward than your listening to our episode on “Boggled” right now!

Neither Joey nor Pacey has forgotten their Big K adventure, and the possibilities it opened for their reuniting as a couple. But Joey’s not as ready as Pacey to dive back in, so it’s a good thing they’ve got other business to occupy them. Pacey is called back to Capeside following his father’s medical emergency; Pacey’s new mode of throwing money at his problems rankles Doug, particularly after John treats Pacey like the future of the Witter family and Doug like an old shoe. Dawson is also back home, invited to speak to Mr. Gold’s current film class; a keen kid who wants Dawson’s notes on his short film sends Dawson further down into his career crisis. Joey, meanwhile, has been harassed into babysitting Harley, whose attention to her homework is challenged by the boy in her closet. Here’s something you can do right now: listen to our episode on “That Was Then”!

Noel is organizing a floor party, and Felicity’s expectations for her first college party are stratospheric: she can’t wait to invite Ben, and for him to come that night, and see her, and like the way she looks, and for HER to like the way HE looks, and for them to dance all night and then go back to her room to…talk. Although, as she tells Sally, she has dared to imagine what it might be like to do more than that with “a man” for the first time — something she is so mortified to put on tape that she orders Sally to erase it immediately! Outside of Felicity’s imagination, things are not going so great. The Inorganic Chemistry prof she’s idolized since she used his textbooks in high school is disgusted that she hasn’t been able to find the text for this class. Whenever Felicity mentions Ben to Julie, Felicity can see Julie tense up, despite Julie’s repeated insistence that she and Ben are JUST FRIENDS. Hangs are happening that Felicity isn’t being invited to. Nothing a trip to Bloomingdale’s for a new party dress won’t fix! Probably! Ben is having his own scholastic issues, getting shunted into a drama class where he’s being asked to be vulnerable. It would be very cool if you listened to our episode on “Hot Objects”!

When Pacey picks up a Sure Thing at a networking banquet for which he’s enlisted Joey to be his fake date, he has to stop on the way back to her dorm to get, what else, condoms. Their refusal to respect Kmart’s practices to keep customers from entering in the moments before the store closes leads to their getting locked inside. Since their predicament is a very low priority for the police, Joey and Pacey end up bickering about their relationship history before he calls a truce so that their night doesn’t get even worse. Big box store high jinks ensue: nacho cheese! A wall of TVs! A Gillette Mach 3 threatening Pacey’s precious goatee! And more! Put on some flannel PJs (whether you pay for them is none of our business) and listen to our episode on “Castaways”!
