I just rewatched 2x02...such a great ep. Everyone forgets Paceys birthday and he proclaims 'I'm tired of being Dawson Leary's sidekick. I'm going to get my own storyline." We have a nice moment between Pacey and Andie on the dock (a possible romance brewing) and an even nicer moment between Dawson and Pacey at the very end when they take the boat up to Maine. It's just about the only time Dawson actually shows he's a good friend to Pacey.
