Summary

People have a lot to celebrate at the top of this episode. Andie finds out she got into Harvard! Dawson's parents decide to be parents...some more! What great timing: there's a rave for everyone to go dance their faces off! After Drue's spamming finally convinces Jen to go, she digs her un-birthday ecstasy out of her dresser just in time for Andie to see her with it. Jen's description of the drug experience is a little too exuberant -- particularly given that Andie's already disappointed that her antidepressants have flattened her highs along with the lows so that her academic achievement doesn't feel like anything at all -- and before you know it, Andie has snuck one of Jen's tabs. Dawson tags along with Pacey, Joey, and Gretchen, and in the car ride over Joey can't help noticing how flirty they seem and asks Gretchen if Dawson might think things are going anywhere with her. Gretchen laughs off the idea, but can't help returning to it. Crank up the Burkittsville 3: it's our episode on "Great Xpectations"!
