Mysteries abound in this episode, starting with why on earth is it called “The Abbey” (Original airdate May 8th, 2002. Written by Diego Gutierrez and Jonathan Kasdan and directed by Michael Lange). Other enigmas include: why ISN’T this episode all about Abby Morgan? Where is Josephine’s daddy? Everything about Dawson’s career. And of course, the absolute entirety of the baffling Alex / Pacey storyline. Want us to entice you with even more riddles? Follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

NOTE: listener, its me, Zoe. Please enjoy the sensual ambiance of my wife making herself an egg sandwich in the background towards the end of the episode. I hope you feel as if you are whisked away to a greasy spoon diner where Gabrielle and I are spending a comfortable afternoon chatting with you across a clean Formica booth table. Wow I bet if you close your eyes, you can smell the coffee brewing even as you read these words....order up!!

Nothing good happens after 2am and that tracks with the chicanery we observed “After Hours” (Original airdate May 1st, 2002. Written by Jeffrey Stepakoff and directed by Mel Damski). Zoe is SABOTAGING our podcast, Gabby is simping for her, Pacey apparently DOES cheat and Jen is nowhere to be found. But we do have a welcome return to a Jack we recognize, a Dawson hook up we don’t hate, and a Joey used in moderation and for good. Want to interact with us with zero moderation?

Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (guess what) (this ep is) (not good) (Original airdate April 24th, 2002. Written by Nicole Ranadive and directed by Robert Duncan McNeill). Upsides: Are we finally free of Charlie? Fake slap fight. Dawson weirdly hot? Downsides: Not a Jackers or Jennifer in sight.

WELCOME to Dawson’s Creek episode 100! And it’s… this? Season five, episode nineteen “100 Light Years from Home” (Original airdate April 17th, 2002. Written by Rina Mimoun and directed by David Petrarca). We celebrate the emotional core of the little Capeside show that could by going to Florida, meeting some video DJs (youngs, ask an old), and reigniting the Joey/Dawson inferno. What a treat. Now trot along and treat yourselves to giving us a follow on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Whether you’re listening on a roof or in an inside tent, thanks for sticking with us through 100 episodes of this dang show!

Why do you look hot Creeps? Is it because you know we’re talking about season five, episode eighteen “Cigarette Burns” (Original airdate April 10th, 2002. Written by Jonathan Kasdan and Tom Kapinos and directed by Les Sheldon)? We’ll get you cooled off quick with our discussions of Joey’s continued CMM mistakes, Audrey being forced to feel weird about her body count, and Jen potentially being set up for a romance with Oliver in a development that Zoe REFUSES to engage with.

Our sanity is on a tugboat headed to the brink because this week we were made to watch season five, episode seventeen “Highway to Hell” (Original airdate April 3rd, 2002. Written by Anna Fricke and directed by Sanford Bookstaver). There are so many things to say about Dawson and Jen’s breakup or Pacey and Audrey (and Joey’s) budding romance but frankly it’s all drowned out by Josephine Potter squeak singing YET AGAIN. Let us croon something much more enjoyable to you via our instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

Have we mentioned that our podcast is NSFW? You should probably either listen to it on headphones or “In a Lonely Place” (Original airdate February 20th, 2002. Written by Gina Fattore and directed by Keith Samples). We’re having a ball in Boston’s most library-from-Clue-esque gay bar, cursing the day Wilder was born, and questioning every step in the casting process for a couple of “musicians” sent in to tempt our pals Audrey and Jen. Can we tempt you with the treat of following us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

Like every Dawson’s Creek podcast before us, we have finally found ourselves at “Downtown Crossing” (Original airdate February 13th, 2002. Written by Tom Kapinos and directed by David Petrarca). We wander through this fever dream of an episode in a state of shock but touch down on Zoe’s Boston Complaints Corner, daddy issues, and the why of it all.
