Complete story — includes the ending
Joey, Audrey and Jen go out to dinner at Civilization, where Joey is perturbed to see Pacey working in the back; she is shocked to learn from Jen that he's been here for more than three weeks and has made no attempt to contact her. Jack is offered a bid by the Sigma Epsilon fraternity; he tells them that he is gay, but they say diversity is part of their mandate, so he accepts. Dawson heads home to Capeside, having made the decision to drop out of university and move to Boston. While Gail is understanding, Mitch is not. Jen, disturbed that her connection to Charlie is primarily sexual, spends the day trying to learn something about him. Dawson and his father have a heated argument about Dawson's future. Mitch thinks Dawson is making a mistake, but adds that he loves his son unconditionally. Joey visits Pacey, and they rekindle their friendship. After Dawson has left, Mitch runs out to the store to get milk for Lilly; he takes his eyes off the road and is killed in a crash.
