#501 "The Bostonians"

While Joey, Jen, and Jack explore their new collegiate life in Boston, Dawson experiences quite a different world at his L.A. internship. And everyone can't help but wonder where Pacey's residing. (Note from Karen: And somhow despite the fact she was dating Pacey for more than 8 months (and counting), all Joey can think about is THAT kiss with Dawson)

#502 "The Lost Weekend" (aka "Flight 62 To Los Angeles")
Joey is frustrated when Dawson's visit isn't quite what she expected it to be, while Jen pursues Charlie, and Pacey grudgingly seeks employment. (Note from Karen: And what of Jack? Joey's frustrated!?! We are to...with Joey!)

#503 "Capeside Revisited"
Dawson tells his parents he's decided not to return to USC. Jack pledges for the Sigma Ep fraternity. Joey finds out Pacey is in town and sets out to visit him. Mitch is involved in a fatal car crash. (Note from Karen: The beginning of ripping DJ apart take 12314564645163456464654.

#504 "The Long Goodbye"
Dawson deals with his father's death while Pacey, Jen and Joey search for ways to help Dawson through the toughest time of his life. (Note from Karen: Dawson was careful not to ask Pacey to watch out for Joey, we all know how that worked last time)

#505 "Four Scary Stories"
In a special, stand-alone episode, Joey, Jack and Pacey return home from watching a disappointing scary movie and wind up spending the evening swapping their own stories. (Note from Karen: Grams doesn't even get mentioned!! And "Whose creek is it anyway" take 1.) No Dawson, wonder what will leave first, this or Downtown Crossing.

#506 "Use Your Disillusion"
Joey's not sure how to act when Dawson visits her in Boston for the first time since Mitch's death. Tobey pays Jack a surprise visit. (Note from Karen: these things are very Joey orientated. Jack, Pacey and Jen also star)

#507 "High Anxiety"
In a drunken moment, Dawson blames Joey for Mitch's death. Jen sets out to get even with Charlie after she learns of another woman. (Note from Karen: Dawson may have had a point, but it's harsh and sad to think this was the last DJ kiss for another 14 eps).

#508 "Text, Lies & Videotape"
Joey is selected to work with Professor Wilder on a special assigment. Dawson goes to therapy. Pacey and Karen grow closer. (Note from Karen: Dawson's lucky that after going to therapy nothing major happened to him, Jen has therapy and years later dies. Andie has therapy and has to leave the show, Audrey has rehab which would have included therapy and gets written out of the show and loses a best friend. Lucky escape for D)

#509 "Hotel New Hampshire"
The couples change partners in this eventful episode as Jack invites Joey to his frat formal and Jen joins Dawson for a road trip to New Hampshire for a film festival. (Note from Karen: how exactly is this couples changing partners? Dawson is single, Jen is single, Jack is gay and single and Joey is single. Dawson loese his V card and I guess the writers even up the 'playing field'.)

#510 "Appetite For Destruction"
Pacey decides to throw a large dinner party at Gram's house to reunite all of his high school friends, but Joey is in for a suprise when she walks in on a kiss between Dawson and Jen. (Note from Karen: I love this episode, torture for Joey. Who i think has a little bit of a break-through saying she has no claim on Dawson or something.)

#511 "Something Wild"
Pacey encourages Joey to let loose, while Dawson and Jen face a curious Gale when they return to Capeside. [I](Note form Karen: The arrival of "other" joey, from planet Mars. )[/I]

#512 "Sleeping Arrangements"
Pacey faces a tough decision when he is offered an offshore opportunity. Jack moves into the frat house but it isn't what he expected. Jen and Dawson's relationship is stressed when Jen talks about their sex life on the radio. (Note from Karen: what happened to Joey? Is she an also staring? I'm speechless.)

#513 "Something Wilder"
Joey jumps back into the dating scene as she juggles her growing attraction to Professor Wilder and a newfound friendship with a classmate. Things get ugly between Jack and his frat brothers. Dawson heads back to school. (Note from Karen: I got my voice back, "The everybody loves Joey show" begins. note the potential love interests of the season run to 4 males, Dawson , Wilder, Elliott, Charlie. They all want Joey. Other potential program names include "There's something about Joey" and we have no clue what.)

#514 "Guerilla Filmmaking"
Dawson's back in the director's chair, but when he finds he needs a last minute replacement for his lead actor, he winds up with Charlie. Jen struggles to handle the close proximity to her ex. Audrey and Pacey share a kiss. (Note from Karen: Joey's an also starring again!?! wow, it won't last. I predict to make up for it we will have a joey on ep! Also, Joey discovers something could happen with Pacey and Audrey and doesn't bat an eyelid!! Dawson and jen kissing and Joey about dies)

#515 "Downtown Crossing"
Walking home by herself at night, Joey is robbed at gunpoint, and then is stunned as she watches the mugger get run down by a hit-and-run driver. Joey stays with him at hospital in hopes of finding out answers about her father. (Note from Karen: I don't have the energy and the time to formulate all the words in my head so to demonstrate what's all in my brain *throws brick and the writers for this drivel*)

#516 "In A Lonely Place"
Jen and Audrey are tempted to risk their new relationships with Dawson and Pacey after interviewing a couple of cute musicians. Pacey's caught by surprise when Jack takes him to a gay bar. (Note from Karen: someone forgot to mention that DJ go to the cinema)

#517 "Highway To Hell"
Joey can't resist Charlie's invitation to join his band on a singing gig. Dawson, Jen, and Jack head back to Capeside for Lily's 1st birthday. Dawson learns of a new man in Gale's life. (Note from Karen: First of all, there are a lot of things about this ep that irk me, actually, it's more just Joey. I find it hard to believe that Joey would miss Lily's bday. It doesn't sit well with me. And I don't care how much of an ego boost she needs, S1 joey wouldn't have gone anywhere near Charlie, she won't have touched him with a bargepole let alone breath the same air as him...and to go out with him...moronic. But I love Dawson remembering with the scetch book)

#518 "Cigarette Burns"
As Joey finds herself growing closer to Charlie, Dawson is intrigued by a sexy critic who attends a screening of his new film. Audrey and Pacey's new relationship is tested. Jen is suprised to learn that Grams is developing a new relationship herself. (Note from Karen: I enjoyed Dawson and Amy, pity Joey didn't find out about it. Or didn't see the kiss.)

#519 "100 Light Years From Home"
As spring break arrives, the group descends on a MTV party, complete with celebrity guests, and a late arrival from Dawson, on a mission to tell Joey how he really feels about her. (Note from Karen: I recall aspects of this ep I liked, the flashbacks, not the Joey and Charlie thing.)

#520 "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)"
While Pacey finds himself in an awkward position with a new boss at the resteraunt, Joey worries her "fling" with Charlie might be more serious than she anticipated. Dawson and Oliver meet with an agent regarding their film. (Note from Karen: all I recall is Joey pretending she's trying to steal Pacey off Audrey so Charlie will leave. Pathetic much?)

#521 "After Hours"
Pacey finds it harder and harder to resist the advances of his new boss leaving Audrey to question their relationship. Joey and Jack cram for finals. Dawson shares a romantic encounter with a film critic. (Note from Karen: A very good shirtless Dawson ep and well basically, Dawson is a creek God. Do you like his shoes?)

#522 "The Abby"
Pacey finds himself in a dangerous situation when he leads a revolt against Alex at Civilization. Dawson and Joey return to Capeside with Audrey. Dawson's visits Mitch's grave while Joey pays a visit to see her father in jail. (Note from Karen: DAwson tells Mitch he loves Joey, cue tears)

#523 "Swan Song"
Joey and Pacey lament their summer ahead in Capeside... but their plans change when they try to catch Dawson and Audrey at the airport before they head to Los Angeles for the summer.(..where DJ will not talk to one another for the full summer cuz they are so happy with where they are with one another, cuz that's what you do after you declare your love for someone!?! whatever)
