הארלי לא מוכנה לצאת מחדרה.. ג'ואי ופטריק מנסים לשכנע אותה: JOEY: I don't mean to do anything to you but give you some advice. Walk away right now. Don't ever mention me again. Go home and strum on your guitar or whatever it is you do and dream up some fantastic gesture to get this girl back and never think there's a day in your life when you have to stop doing that sort of thing. That's the worst thing that a guy can do. Give up the chase. And be realistic, Patrick. If I weren't such a nice girl I would have laughed in your face and called you Junior the second I met you. PATRICK: Why didn't you? JOEY: You remind me of someone. Now get out of here before I remember what it was that pissed me off so much about that guy when I was your age.
פטריק הולך וג'ואי נשארת עם הארלי לבד: On Patrick... HARLEY: I've seen how it goes with the other couples in school. They just want to be together for the sake of having someone. To grab onto someone for the slow songs. But Patrick, he makes me feel something. And even when we're fighting, I feel like he gets me. Like he cares what the outcome of the conversation is. And I don't think I'll meet anything else like that. Harley asks Joey about her relationships, and how they are when you're older. Later, during the conversation... HARLEY: Was it this hard for you in high school? JOEY: Of course, but everything's twenty-twenty in hindsight. Now, all the problems Pacey and I had seem so petty. And all the obstacles Dawson and I went through seemed unnecessary. Later... HARLEY: Well, how can I skip the middle part? What would you tell yourself back then, if you could? And it's a damn good question. JOEY: I've been wondering lately why things were different. Why I could talk to Eddie without being scared. When you're sixteen, so many of the choices you make are motivated by fear. Like one wrong move is the end of the world. And before Eddie, I was rotating in this high school circle. Adolescence kept repeating itself. But then I remembered, he didn't know me then, and there was something fearless about that. And suddenly I wasn't looking back. Maybe that's all it is. Taking a deep breath and forgiving yourself for yesterday's mistakes. You'll see Patrick tomorrow and want to punch his face in. But maybe he'll say something to change your mind. And you have to hear him, Harley. When I was your age, I let all the little things get in the way and I think there was a lot I didn't let myself hear. A lot that would have make things better. Don't be afraid to move forward. HARLEY: So if all this is because of Eddie, why didn't you follow him across the country? JOEY: It's not just about him, Harley. Not really. It's about me and what I'm ready for.
אחרי שפייסי מסיים את הביקור בבית החולים הוא נוסע לקייפסיד, לבית הישן של דוסון - דוסון גם שם אבל פייסי לא יודע את זה: PACEY: I was in town. I wanted to check in on your mom, see how the work on the house was going. DAWSON: Wow, that's ... thank you. הם מדברים על כמה שהם גדלו ועל אבותיהם ואז: DAWSON: Hey, Pacey? PACEY: Yeah? DAWSON: I just made some coffee. Do you maybe wanna come inside? Sit down for a while? It's been a long day. Pacey looks at him and realizes that it's been a hell of a long time since he went into that house just to talk. And it sounds nice. He stands up, takes the rest of the wood that Dawson left behind, and starts to follow him inside. PACEY: Yeah, I'd like that.
ג'ואי מחליטה להתקשר לפייסי, הוא לא עונה והיא משאירה לו את ההודעה הזאת: JOEY: Hey. It's me. (beat) I thought I would have an answer when I picked up the phone, but I didn't. And then I thought I would come up with something as I was talking. No such luck. I think the problem might be trying to figure this out alone. We should probably do this together... shouldn't we? (beat) You know how they say if you could do it all over again, what would you change? Well, I would probably change a lot of things... but I'm also pretty lucky that I have the chance. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not going to look at you and think of everything that happened, Pace. I'm just going to think of everything that could. (beat) Call me back. She hangs up the phone, a little nervous, a little excited. But not, for the first time in a long time, scared. סוף הפרק.
