Complete story — includes the ending

Heather Tracy ( Nicole Bilderback ), a Hollywood producer, visits the Wicked Dead set: Todd is four days behind schedule and hasn't returned Heather's calls. (She's also still angry over him dumping her.) She identifies Natasha as the weak link and prepares to fire her; Todd is prepared to comply, prioritizing the needs of the many. As Joey presents on Lolita, Eddie defends her from Hetson's scathing critique, leading to some sort of showdown in which Eddie quits the class after being accused of utilizing a pseudonym and of being a person who doesn't exist. Emma clashes with Pacey over the fact that Audrey is constantly staying over, hogging the hot water and belting " California Dreamin' "; however, she realizes her all-girl punk band, Hell's Belles, needs a new singer. She invites Pacey to the performance, but Pacey, focused on work to the exclusion of all else, sleeps through the gig. Jack confronts Professor Freeman about a grade on a paper, feeling that Freeman's (apparently) closeted nature led him to grade unfairly; Freeman adjusts the grade, tacitly admitting Jack may have a point. Eddie, pressed by Joey, admits that he's not even a student, merely someone who sneaks into class and is allowed to audit. Dawson steps up in the editing booth, helping Todd save Natasha's job; Natasha thanks him, knowing he was behind it.
