Dawson's Darlings

Zazz has pretzels, Kim just remembered about allergies, and this episode... exists.

Season 4, Episode 15 - “Four Stories”

From HBO Max: As Pacey and Joey analyze their first sexual experience, Brooks’ death brings Dawson and Gretchen’s relationship into focus; a psychologist presses Jen about her past, while Dawson asks Joey if she’s had sex.

This episode’s got it all: guest stars, weak ankles, the fragility of life, and the Why Are Men?-ness of Why Are Men? (seriously. Why?)

Season 4, Episode 14: “A Winter’s Tale”

From HBO Max: As his friends wrestle with sex during a senior class ski trip, Dawson discovers that he’s been given the power over Mr. Brooks’ life.

Let's just get to the bottom of it... is Drue unredeemable?

Season 4, Episode 13: “Hopeless”

From HBO Max: Dawson is less than comfortable about meeting Gretchen’s friends; Joey and Pacey are enlisted to help Drue get through an important date.

A rough night for Pace, a confusing night for Gretchen and Dawson, and a bummer of some company for Jen. Plus! Zazz has thoughts on surprise parties, and Kim has proof that no one should ever invite her to parties (surprise or not). #SBP

Season 4, Episode 12: “The Te of Pacey”

From HBO Max: Joey’s surprise birthday party for Pacey amplifies long-simmering emotional tensions in the Witter family.

Zazz nails an impression of teenagers in the morning and how to pronounce La Croix; Kim does not nail The New Normal; Joey nails Drue’s cheek with her fist; and Dawson tells Pacey he’s trying to… politely and sweetly woo Gretchen.

Season 4, Episode 11: “The Tao of Dawson”

From HBO Max: Pacey tries to disrupt Dawson’s efforts to woo his sister; Dru’e mischief ends with him and Joey locked inside a storage closet.

Post-Gretchen kiss, Dawson’s playing it cool; Joey and Pacey are playing it house; and we’re all playing like we’re not annoyed to meet new character Toby. (Also, for real: “Self-Reliance” is accurate. “Self reliance” is not. Who made this choice?)

Season 4, Episode 10: “Self Reliance”

From HBO Max: As Mr. Brooks’ revelations about his past inspire Dawson, Pacey is encouraged to push his own relationship with Joey

Kim reacts to even the thought of the word “chicken,” Zazz isn’t ready for Christmas yet, Jen knits now, and apparently this entire episode is sponsored by Up and Up Brand Christmas Lights.

It’s senior prank time, baybee! And while Dawson and Pacey do their thing, Jack is in the middle of a fight for women athletes (and the Alex Morgan origin story)!

Season 4, Episode 8: The Unusual Suspects

From HBO Max: Dawson, Pacey and Jack are suspected of a senior class prank.

It’s an Andie-heavy episode (and also an Andie goodbye episode). But first, she’s typing up a few loose ends. Plus, Zazz is dropping some high school TEA and a quick convo about Rock the Vote (are you registered to vote?? You can do it at www.werethepeople.turbovote.org)

Season 4, Episode 7: You Had Me at Goodbye"

From HBO Max: An opportunity for time off before college prompts Andie to try bringing everyone together before she goes.

Are raves still a thing? What about maps? And newspapers? We answer all those questions and more in this week's episode!

Season 4, Episode 6: Great Expectations

From HBO Max: Andie’s effort to celebrate her admission to Harvard ends up endangering her life.
