Season 2, Episode 17 humbles, haunts, and lightly unhinges everyone—in the best way.

In this episode, we break down Dawson getting a serious reality check when his new film teacher, Nicole Kennedy, absolutely does not hold back about his latest movie. Let’s just say… confidence was high, and then it wasn’t. We talk about whether she was too harsh or exactly what he needed to hear.

Meanwhile, Joey heads to the Capeside Fair and gets her future read by a mysterious fortuneteller—because of course she does—and is told to stay open to new opportunities. Enter: a spontaneous, slightly chaotic encounter with a photographer that pulls Joey out of her comfort zone and into a completely different version of herself. On a rewatch, this storyline feels like a subtle but important shift for her character.

Elsewhere, Jen is busy playing matchmaker, trying to convince Grams to reconnect with someone from her past (which is exactly as entertaining as it sounds), and Pacey starts to feel a little unsure about where things stand with Andie—because nothing in Capeside can stay simple for long.

We talk about confidence, taking risks, unexpected advice, and why this episode feels like a mix of reality checks and new beginnings.
