Dawson, naturally, got into the USC summer program, so we join him on his last day in Capeside. It's hard! His father is being very bossy about what kind of laptop Dawson should get and with whom he should be spending his last dinner before college. His ex-girlfriends Jen and Joey keep bringing up stuff they talked about three seasons ago. His absent best friend Pacey is phoning from "paradise" to say how much their friendship means to him. Not that he knows it, but Jen is giving Joey the idea that if Joey just asked Dawson to stay, he would. And maybe she's right -- Dawson still hasn't even packed yet! It's also Grams and Jen's last day in Capeside, but no one seems to care about that nearly as much. Maybe the Led Zeppelin album Coda announced, "I Can't Quit You Baby," but we CAN quit Season 4 in our latest episode!

We’re off this week but we bring you two Again With Again With This episodes from the club vault.

AWAWT 217: Let's Watch Emma Caulfield Ford In A Thanksgiving Episode Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer!

When Joyce goes out of town for Thanksgiving, Buffy (the character) decides to put on a Thanksgiving dinner, and Buffy (the show) stays on theme not just by making the monster of the week the ghost of a Chumash warrior, but also by, thusly, biting off a lot more than it can chew.

AWAWT 223: Let's Watch Alyssa Milano And Cameron Bancroft In To Brave Alaska!

Cameron Bancroft and Alyssa Milano play would-be gold miners in Alaska's dangerously isolated Surprise Bay. Surprise! It doesn't go well for them.

What comes after the episode after the prom? Graduation, of course! Joey is stressed about the speech she'll have to give as winner of the Pinnacle Award; it's a good thing Bessie had a premortem letter from their poor dead mom to hand off and inspire her. Pacey is stressed about passing enough exams to graduate with his friends, and while he's not as big a monster about it as David Silver was whenever HE got stressed on Beverly Hills, 90210, he doesn't exactly cover himself in glory either; it's a good thing Mr. Kasdan is very patient and generous. Drue is stressed about his terrible parents; it's a good thing Jen and Grams love taking in strays. Principal Peskin is stressed that someone's going to prank the graduation ceremony. Tobey is stressed about asking Jack why he isn't calling Tobey his boyfriend. Jack is stressed about getting to the airport on time to pick up Andie. Lily is...probably stressed about when she's going to be old enough to see color? Don't stress: our episode on "The Graduate" is right here!

After the high emotion of "Promicide," couldn't we all use a little breather? (Also, let's be real: in a 23-episode season, you can't go straight from prom to commencement anyway.) Dawson is very slowly getting used to the idea of having lost Gretchen when Gale announces that she's leaving town, so he better try to get what closure he can in a hurry. Joey's moping around her Yacht Club shift when good old Mr. Kubelik from Worthington asks her to bring that charming boyfriend of hers to an imminent freshmen's mixer because Mr. Kubelik wants to introduce Pacey to the Dean of Admissions. Pacey, dying of shame, agrees to go, maybe even letting himself get as hopeful as Joey about what this invitation could mean. Jen comes home to a realtor showing Grams's house to prospective buyers, which is how she learns that Grams plans to use the proceeds to send Jen to college and live on what's left at an apparently not very nice retirement community. Jen immediately decides she's not going to go, so it falls to Jack to take a break from his very offscreen dates with Tobey to suggest there's another solution. Don't stress about losing us -- we're right here with a new episode on "Separation Anxiety"!

We've dealt with everyone hearing back from colleges, and you know what that means: it's time for prom! Joey's going with Pacey, even though he seems to have lost interest in kissing or looking at her. Jen and Jack are supposed to go as friends, but Jen is pretty determined to set Jack up with Tobey. And Dawson's going with Gretchen, who can't help remembering that...she's already done all this. Everyone politely goes through the motions in the lead-up to the big event, saving their biggest meltdowns for when all their classmates can turn off the stereo and watch. You just have to turn UP your headphones (to a safe level, of course) and LISTEN as we tell you all about "Promicide"!

It's tough to be pregnant on TV! If your supposed loved ones aren't making snarky comments about how big you got to GROW A HUMAN PERSON INSIDE YOU, you're the butt of the "joke" of at least one and maybe several bouts of false labor. Ha ha ha? But not really. Poor Gale. Anyway: the Leery baby is two weeks overdue and it's an issue. When he's not hovering around Gale, however, Dawson has time to hover around Gretchen. Does she want to have sex...now? What about......now? And what does it mean that she's suddenly got an interview for a job in Boston when HE is about to go to college in CALIFORNIA?! Pacey, meanwhile, is out of town, which seems to be making Joey antsy. Is she so codependent or horny that she can't amuse herself for a couple of days while he goes fishing with Doug, or is there, perhaps, another reason she needs to get hold of him rather urgently? HMMM. Jack, it turns out, has hung in with the tutoring program, and in the time he and Tobey have been offscreen, they have apparently forged a comfortable, joshing friendship. But when Tobey suddenly drops off the grid, Jack wonders if it's really because he got mugged. Don't waste time: our episode on "Late" is here right on time!

It's Ditch Day for the seniors of Capeside High, but the ones we're watching are hardly enjoying carefree time off from school. Jen gets Joey to come with her for an interview with an admissions guy at the University of New York. Joey is excited to see all the sights on her list during her first-ever trip to the city, but she can tell Jen isn't doing so well and abandons her plans to look after her. Sure enough, the admissions meeting is just a cover story for Jen's long-delayed reckoning with her father. After Gretchen tells Dawson about the spontaneous road trip she took on HER Ditch Day, Dawson spontaneously decides to copy her, basically. If he'd thought about it just a little longer, he might have remembered that he no longer has a spare tire. Pacey still has junior classes to make up that he can't miss, but soon decides he can afford a Ditch Half-Day with Drue, who takes him to his favorite bar that doesn't card. If this seems like a bad idea for a kid whose dad is the local sheriff, you're way ahead of Pacey. Don't waste a minute before getting to our episode on "Eastern Standard Time"!

It's April, which means envelopes fat and thin are arriving in Capeside. Joey is jealous of the pile of acceptances Jack secured for himself and Jen, but doesn't need to be for long: she finds out she's been admitted to Worthington at the very same moment Dawson hears he's been rejected by NYU Film School. While Gretchen bucks Dawson up by reminding him that Mr. Brooks never went to film school, and that Dawson could be inspired by real life and use his inheritance to make movies, everyone else is celebrating the first Potter to get into college. That abruptly stops when Joey finds out her financial aid package will still require her or her family to kick in $15,000 a year, and in this world -- where a high school guidance counselor doesn't tell a student about APPEALING HER FINANCIAL AID, A THING YOU CAN DO -- that means Worthington is off the table completely. While Joey tries (not very hard) to keep this disappointment a secret, Jen is having a hard time articulating to Jack or Tom why she doesn't want to consider any colleges in New York, home of the terrible parents with whom she still has unresolved issues. You, however, should resolve to listen to our latest episode on "Admissions"!

We're firmly in the last third of the episodes set in our cast's senior year of high school, which means it's time to reveal the winners of the senior poll. Somehow, Drue has weaseled his way into a position of moderate authority on the yearbook staff, apparently just to rig it so that the Class Couple is Joey...and Dawson?! Joey then has to downshift from acting like she doesn't care but is worried that Dawson will be upset (he's not) to finding out that Pacey's asking Gretchen to give him the house for the whole night accidentally tipped her that he and Joey are now Doing Sex, meaning Joey has to make sure Gretchen's not going to blab to Dawson. Gretchen and Dawson COULD be having their own perfectly nice night maybe doing sex themselves in his parents' empty house, but instead he has to go on and on about how great he thinks it is that when he asked Joey if she and Pacey are boning, she said no, and Gretchen simply has no poker face and just has to flee into the night rather than break Pacey's confidence. Over in their own silo, Jen has kicked her therapy up to three sessions a week, the better to make her way too curious about Tom; Jack is the very good friend who lets her bully him into joining her as she stalks Tom around town AND all the way to Wellfleet. WE aren't playing mind games with you in our episode on "Mind Games"; you will know exactly where we stand on everything!

After the events of the last episode, someone evidently decided the viewer needed to zoom in on various small groups of characters for some very intimate time. When Drue tricks Mr. Kasdan into leaving Joey and Pacey at the lodge, they discuss their night together, but Pacey's compliment-fishing puts Joey off. After Mr. Brooks's poorly attended offscreen funeral, Gretchen and Grams have to tag-team their efforts to keep Dawson from falling into despondency over the likelihood that his end will be the same as his friend's. Ordered into therapy after getting caught on the ski trip with liquor bottles, Jen puts on her brattiest manner to meet Dr. Tom Frost (Rob Nagle). And a chance run-in outside a showing of His Girl Friday sets up what could be the next big crisis in Joey and Dawson's friendship. We've got many words to say about "Four Stories"!
