YES, this is a new episode; the dance episode in S01 is just called "Dance," and yes, it was a terrible idea for two episodes of the same show to have nearly identical titles, but here we are. All our opening-credits cast nonconformists know, as Andie does, that the Homecoming Dance is coming up. Unlike Andie, they don't care, until she points out that dancing can be a form of foreplay and all their horny asses get on board. Seeing Jen in the hallway still hanging out with Abby, Joey gets concerned that Abby's a bad influence and suggests asking Jen to join them at the dance, since they're all going as friends. Dawson's not so sure until Andie asks to invite Jack, and over Pacey's strenuous urging for them not to try to set up two people who don't know each other at all and have nothing in common, it's on. Dawson could use the distraction of a dance, because his parents have told him that they're finally ready to quit their marriage, and Mitch is moving out. But if Dawson had hoped for some drama that could take his mind off his own problems...that's not the kind he gets. Get ready to cut loose, foot loose, with our episode on "The Dance"!
