Complete story — includes the ending
Joey, on spring break for the next two weeks, accepts Rich's offer to be Pacey's temporary secretary, but shows a complete lack of professionalism. This is exacerbated when a local newspaper reporter, named Sadia Shaw, arrives to interview Pacey, and he recognizes her as the attractive woman from the Stepatech party five episodes ago. Their mutual jealousy ends the only way it can: with a tryst in Pacey's office. Meanwhile, Dawson enlists Heather Tracy's help in pitching his next film to studio head Larry Newman ( Paul Gleason ), who cares primarily about sex; Dawson's pitch, a chaste coming-of-age story loosely modeled on his romance with Eve, mutates into a sex comedy entitled " Sunset Stripped." Dawson consults with Todd for advice, and Todd suggests he stick to his guns; as a result, though Newman greenlights the movie, Dawson refuses the director's position. Pacey fires Joey on grounds of being too attracted to her, and the two agree to meet at Pacey's apartment... only for Eddie to walk in as the bar closes. Absent: Kerr Smith, Busy Philipps
