Complete story — includes the ending
Civilization's new investors show up and Alex, a control freak, begins insulting and firing people; Pacey leads a coup d'etat against her, and both are fired. Dawson and Joey return to Capeside, and Audrey accompanies them to avoid her parents; she learns that Dawson and Oliver have been invited to summer in LA, where a famous director wishes to mentor them. Joey receives a surprise visit from Prof. Wilder, who included her story from the start of the year (about her kiss with Dawson from the Season 4 finale) in the Worthington Literary Review. At home, she decides to see her father for the first time since his latest incarceration, only to learn that he has been paroled and didn't tell his family. Jack and Jen decide to travel to Costa Rica for a summer adventure, with Jen declining an invitation from her parents to stay with them. Dawson admits he came to Florida during Spring Break to tell Joey he loves her, and finally pays a visit to his father's grave before heading out to his future.
