I always found it sad that Dawson did the morally just thing by telling Joey about her dad's crimes yet he ended up paying the price for it. How did HE end up as the bad guy in this scenario? Mr Potter betrayed his daughters' trust in him. He had a family who loved him yet he turned his back on that.

I also hated how in Season 3, Pacey throws it in Dawson's face, making him out to be a bad guy. How can Dawson's best friend not see that how incredibly DIFFICULT it must have been for Dawson to tell his girlfriend the truth about her criminal father?

Also, the D/Jo romantic tragedy dialogue:

D: So, Joey Potter... Will you always love me, despite the circumstances?
J: It doesn't matter - we get the happy ending.
