I didn't like Gwen cause after telling Joey to tell Dawson she also basically nudged him towards Joey again near the end when she gave him that painting and told him to imagine being with her or whatever. WTF?
I also agree Joey wasn't sending any mixed signals, she was over Dawson at this point. He's the one that was always fickle and confusing. Joey wanted Pacey. Reminds me in TLD when she said to Pacey she can't stop thinking about him, wanting to be near him and wanting to kiss him all the time. So cute BTW.
