Complete story — includes the ending
When Jen's mother, Helen, unexpectedly arrives in Capeside to spend Thanksgiving with her mother and daughter, Dawson tells her what he knows about Eve. She asks him not to tell Jen, but a poignant speech at the dinner table forces Helen to think again, and she eventually tells Jen that she has a half-sister. Upset and confused by her mother's confession, Jen attempts to change her relationship with Pacey to the more physical, but finds comfort in another unexpected way. It also allows her to make peace with Helen, as she realizes that her mother's decision to bundle Jen off to Capeside was driven not by distaste for her daughter's conduct, but rather shame over her own poor mothering. Mitch and Gail reveal that their divorce has become final.
