Complete story — includes the ending
Senior Prom for Capeside High arrives which is held this year onboard a yacht, which causes every relationship to implode. Pacey has returned, but Joey is concerned about his lack of interest in anything remotely sexual (she did not tell him about the pregnancy scare). Jen lies to Tobey that Jack wants to ask him to prom but is too shy, leading Tobey to call Jack with a spontaneous Yes. Drue arrives to make the same speech to Jen. Pacey sets out to make Joey's prom special, but does poorly with arrangements. The four couples (Dawson and Gretchen, Joey and Pacey, Jen and Drue, Jack and Tobey) depart from the Leery home, Drue learns that Jen has numerous nips in her purse; it becomes clear that she is having trouble with the idea of returning to New York. Jack admits that his claims of platonic feelings towards Tobey were a lie, and the two kiss. Gretchen, who can legally buy alcohol, feels utterly out of place at a high-school prom, and breaks up with Dawson. Pacey confronts Joey about his failures; he admits that he needs her to be critical, needs her to expect more of him, and that he cannot continue to feel like a charity project. Jen becomes so drunk that she nearly falls off the yacht, but Drue, in a rare moment of compassion and heroism, saves her. The night ends with the four couples heading home. Absent: Meredith Monroe
