Summary

Nearly all our teen leads happen to be taking the same Econ class, in which Mr. Maddock NOT ONLY demands that students pair up for a project on household finances, complete with character briefs and backstory; he's ALSO not letting them choose their own partners, which is how Andie ends up with Pacey, Jen with Dawson, Abby with a nerd named Kenny, and Joey on her own. You'd think Joey would go straight to the person she already knows as a solo head of household, but no, she rudely dismisses Bessie in favor of Laura (Tamara Taylor!), a successful local interior designer who seems all too ready to take on a protégée. Andie and Pacey predictably bicker over whether they need a comfortable house for their three children more than they need a Viper. Abby orders Jen to use her forced proximity to Dawson to try to get a leg over him (while also ordering Kenny to do the project without her and stick her name on it). Can Dawson resist the urge to touch Jen's boobs the first, third, or 47th time she finds an excuse to rest them on him? Speaking of boobs getting touched, or not: Mitch still doesn't want to fool around with Gale, and enacts Operation Open Marriage with a standing free pass Thursday nights. Make room in your life for our podcast on "Alternative Lifestyles"!

0:00.0	This project is just going to depress me.
0:02.9	I think it'll be fun.
0:12.7	Hello, everybody.
0:14.1	This is, again with this, Dawson's Creek.
0:17.5	Today's episode is Season 2, Episode 3, Alternative Lifestyles. And now here are your host.
0:24.4	Tara Aronio and Sarah D. Bunting.
0:33.7	Oh, hello, Tara and Dave. Hello. I thought that this was titled something else and that a later episode in this season, for reasons that will become apparent, was called alternative lifestyles instead.
0:46.8	Either way, it's a stinky title.
0:48.5	Yes.
0:49.5	Speaking of Stinky, again with again with this, episode 200.
0:54.6	Again with again with this is not stinky, but we'll be watching Brian Austin Green in That 90s show.
1:00.4	That drops July 19th, which is close to Green's birthday, which is why we are celebrating it in this fashion.
1:08.9	And coincidentally, the episode that he's in is called The Birthday Girl. It's season
1:12.8	one, episode seven of that 90s show, and it is on Netflix. We will link it in the show notes.

1:29.3	Let's get into this episode, starting with our B-plot. Mitch and Gail can no longer stand to
1:34.5	be in each other. Uh-huh. Mitch has just ordered a sassy Dawson to school after a debate
1:43.1	about new rules governing Dawson and Joey's
1:46.1	access to each other, which we'll get to in the A-plot, when Mitch complains that Dawson is
1:51.1	becoming a master of manipulation. Gail saltily says he probably learned from Mitch since they
1:57.2	both know how to rationalize their sexual impulses.
2:07.5	Mitch reminds us of what this fight is about and says he's not going to force Gail to accept an open marriage if she's against it.
