Summary

It's the penultimate episode of the season on a high school show, so of course it's time for the big dance! Dawson dredges up some long-ago pact that if he and Joey were both single, they'd go together as friends, and she agrees to honor it even though she clearly knows friendship is the last thing on his mind. Andie pretends to be entertaining several invitations to save face with Pacey. After making a huge production about how retrograde the prom concept is, Jen invites Henry. And Jack is planning to bring Ethan, until the ticket-selling troll tells him it's not allowed. Andie and Joey are ready to boycott the event, but then Dawson gets the idea that they throw a competing dance for the two gay guys and everyone else who'd rather be on their side. When Pacey does finally invite Andie, the stage is set for Dawson to rub Pacey's face in Dawson's continuing ability to control Joey. Oh and also Gale and Mitch are fooling around again, but we're trying so, so hard not to acknowledge them at all. Even though most people have an anti-good time at the event, you should still listen to our episode on "The Anti-Prom"!
