Complete story — includes the ending

Jen helps Dawson go to the grief counselor ( Pauley Perrette ) he ran away from the week before. Dawson finds the idea of sharing his thoughts with a complete stranger uncomfortable, but he is surprised with how much he learns from it. Back in Capeside, Dawson and Gail run into problems handling Mitch's will: he never signed an updated version that includes Lily. Meanwhile, Joey helps Professor Wilder's hand-picked team sift through Rose Lazare's letters; they are frank and detailed, leading to the hypothesis that Lazar had a secret lesbian lover. Joey, with the help of Audrey's audition tape for a (fictional) season of The Real World set in Ibiza, realizes that the letters were Lazare's diary entries, writing to herself. Pacey confronts Karen about the risks she is taking by having an affair with Danny; his point is underlined when Danny's wife Emily shows up unannounced at a party hosted by the restaurant and Danny must abandon Karen to keep up appearances. Absent: Kerr Smith
