Complete story — includes the ending

Pacey and Jack move out of their Boston apartment and go their separate ways. Jack moves in with Jen and Grams, and Pacey moves back to Capeside and in with his brother Doug, who does not hide his contempt and disappointment in Pacey after he tells Doug the truth about losing his job and all of his money. Also in Capeside, when a depressed Dawson gives up his dream of making his film, his soulmate and first producer Joey refuses to accept it. She takes it on herself to rally a crew: Jack and Jen act as production assistants, Audrey agrees to take on the role inspired by Ms. Jacobs, and Joey herself acts as casting director, convincing Harley to play the Joey role, Patrick the Pacey role and George, Dawson's admirer from earlier in the season, to play Dawson; Todd also drops in to operate the Steadicam and act as director of photography, while Doug Witter shows up to provide security. Pacey begins to make amends to Dawson by begging the businesses of Capeside to invest in a budding young filmmaker. Jen, Jack and Grams say their goodbyes and leave for New York. Confident that she has gotten Dawson back on his feet and rejuvenated their friendship, Joey leaves Capeside for good to pursue her dream of traveling to Paris.
