Complete story — includes the ending
Charlie learns that the lead singer of his band has quit; he begs Joey to take over, as the band have a paying gig the next day. Pacey agrees to drive her and Audrey the six hours. Charlie, who overslept and missed his ride with the rest of the band, turns up needing a ride. Pacey dislikes Charlie as the latter has wronged Jen. The drive is fraught with arguments and sniping from Charlie. Meanwhile, Dawson, Jen, Jack and Grams return to Capeside for Lily's first birthday party, and Dawson is uncomfortable with his mother's friendship with Nathan (Scott Stevens), who also has a young child. Jen confesses to Jack that she wants to break up with Dawson, missing the freedom of getting to make her own choices and be spontaneous. Dawson and Jen argue. Having talked to his mother, Dawson accepts that she is interested in a man again after her husband died. Joey wows the crowd, though she requires some duet assistance from Charlie to do so. Audrey and Pacey's relationship is back on and Pacey doesn't want to drive home yet. The four of them take two rooms in a motel. Joey hands out by the pool and Charlie says he's going to bed and gives her a key to the room. Joey later goes to the room and lies down on the bed, fully clothed, with Charlie.
