Complete story — includes the ending
Dawson, Audrey, Jack and Jen await flights at Logan International Airport. Grams is also awaiting a flight; she's taking a 'on the sly' weekend jaunt to Las Vegas with Clifton Smalls. Dawson runs into Todd Carr, the director who fired him at the beginning of the year; Carr invites Dawson to look him up in LA. Only Joey and Pacey plan to stay in Capeside; Joey to resume her hostess job at the Yacht Club; Pacey as security guard there. Pacey runs into Danny Brecher, who reaffirms his bond with Pacey: the food industry, he claims, fits them perfectly, because they never have to grow up. Pacey looks skeptical. Joey receives a letter from Dawson, and suggests Pacey come with her to the airport so the two of them can re-unite with their respective paramours. Pacey bribes the airport's public address system worker in order to beg Audrey to forgive him. She does and the two decide to roadtrip to California together. Meanwhile, Jen decides to summer with her parents after all, and Jack is distracted by Eric, who has returned to Boston after failing to come out of the closet to his parents. Joey catches Dawson as he boards, kisses him, tells him she loves him too, but sends him to LA, promising that their futures will include each other no matter what. Finally, Joey is alone at the airport, with her passport and the ticket she bought to Paris as an excuse to get to the departure gate... but the episode closes as a grin grows across her face, suggesting she might go to Paris.
