Complete story — includes the ending

In Los Angeles, Dawson visits Audrey at the rehab clinic where he spots big-time film producer Toni Stark ( Alicia Coppola ) and follows her into a therapy session in the hopes of networking, but the whole scheme backfires. Meanwhile, in Boston, Pacey throws a party at his place to celebrate his new success at his job; he also purchases a wide-screen TV. Emma invites a local stoner punk named Gus ( Esteban Powell ) and introduces him as her fiancé; she admits that she has dropped out of school due to the success of Hell's Belles, but now needs a marriage of convenience to retain her visa. Joey, still sulking over the departure of Eddie, lets loose by getting drunk and setting up a spontaneous game of spin the bottle. Joey is flirtatious with Pacey the whole night and they almost kiss during the game, but they are interrupted when Gus accidentally destroys the massive TV. Pacey carries a drunk Joey to his room so she can rest, and before leaving, he admits to her that he never got over her. Joey drunkenly leans over to kiss him. Jen catches the reformed alcoholic C.J. with a drink, which leads to them arguing; but they are commissioned to kiss during the Spin the Bottle game, and they end up having sex for the first time. Jack offers to marry Emma in Gus's stead; though grateful, she turns him down and decides to return to England for good.
