Accepted early to USC, Dawson finds his last night in Capeside has arrived much sooner than anticipated. While he looks forward to spending the evening with Joey, Jack and Jen, Mitch wants to spend the evening with his son.

Pacey, somewhere in the Caribbean, borrows a crewmate's feature phone to make one phone call home: to Dawson, the only person he wishes he'd given a proper goodbye. Dawson tells Pacey how proud he is of his best friend. Finally, Joey attempts to say goodbye to Dawson, but ends up telling him that she wants him to stay. The two of them share a goodbye kiss.
