Dawson's Darlings

The way these main storylines would have been better served if the characters were 10 years older than they are… (plus, high fives, heart events, and smoothies)

Season 6, Episode 16 - “That Was Then”

From Max: As Dawson returns to Capeside High to discuss his career, Pacey is drawn back home by his father’s heart attack.

Pacey and Joey are stuck in a K-Mart, while Zazz and Kim are stuck in production mode. Learn all about bottle episodes and product placement!

Season 6, Episode 15 - “Castaways”

From Max: In his rush to make a hastily arranged date with a beautiful stranger, Pacey ends up locked inside a store for the night with Joey.

Jack and Pacey have a new TV, so naturally… it’s time to throw a rager. Drunk Joey, rich Pacey, and a detailed lesson on IP library rights and why you should buy the media you love.

Season 6, Episode 14 - “Clean and Sober”

From Max: Pacey and Jack throw a party that is replete with surprises. A visit to see Audrey in rehab brings Dawson face to face with a moviemaking legend.

An episode about Dawson being a director and it being harder than he thought it would be? Oh buddy… sign us up!

Season 6, Episode 13 - “Rock Bottom”

From Max: Joey enlists Eddie for a cross-country trek to get Audrey into rehab. Dawson finds that directing in Hollywood is going to be harder than he thought.

Eddie’s back! Audrey’s back. And Jen’s hair is, um… it’s really something. 

Season 6, Episode 12 - “All the Right Moves”

From Max: As Audrey gets a second chance and Pacey is offered an unexpected promotion at work, Joey is reunited with Eddie.

This episode was recorded months ago, so listen in as Kim talks about learning about Travis Kelce and Fridays. Plus: Zazz’s prom dream, Dawson’s dreams come true on accident, Joey books a babysitting gig, Jen’s got a little bit of a storyline, and Pacey’s about to be very disappointed at the aquarium.

Season 6, Episode 11 - “Day Out of Days”

From the streamer: As completion of the film creates an unanticipated opportunity for Dawson, Joey lands back in Boston where she comes face to face with Professor Hetson’s unruly teenage daughter.

Enjoy a little post-Christmas mayhem as we discuss The Bear, the cat playing in a bag, Zazz’s fervent reading, and, when we have time, the Christmas episode of Dawson’s Creek. (Also some very outdated celeb news)

Season 6, Episode 10 - “Merry Mayhem”

From Max: An out-of-control Audrey brings Christmas dinner at the Leery’s literally crashing down.

Joey and Eddie take it medium, Dawson and Natasha are confusing, and Kerr Smith makes his directorial debut. Plus - Stevie Spiels’ middle name, Pacey’s terrible party, Zazz loves Jeter, Kim loves About Time, and… remember commercials?

Season 6, Episode 9 - “Everything Put Together Falls Apart”

From Max: Dawson is jealous when Natasha is attracted to a new actor. Joey jeopardizes her scholarship by missing a final exam.

The drama! The romance! The No Doubt! Quite the setting for a first date between Joey and Eddie.

Season 6, Episode 8 - “Spiderwebs”

From Max: Jen’s efforts to reunite Pacey and his girlfriend at a No Doubt concert backfire upon learning the truth about C.J. and Audrey.

For a podcast about Dawson’s Creek, we spend a fair amount of time imagining what season 5 of Hart of Dixie would have been like. (Spoiler alert: we would have loved it.)

Season 6, Episode 7 - “Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell”

From the streamer: Audrey’s drinking forces Joey to see how her roommate’s life is spinning out of control; news that Professor Freeman is moving to Chicago presents Jack with some decisions of his own.
