Elsewhere a surprise visitor turns Pacey, Andie, and Jack’s world upside down, Jen looks to possibly embark on a hobo journey, and Joey’s Dad searches for some supplemental income.

216 Be Careful What You Wish For

After the dizzying highs of the Jack-Comes-Out two parter, the Dawson Dudes sit through the comedown that is Season 2, Episode 16: Be Careful What You Wish For.

214 To Be or Not to Be

The Dudes are now waist-deep into Season 2 and Episode 14 “To Be or Not To Be” is a real doozy. Well, half a real doozy (though what is a doozy and how much cheaper would a knock-off one be?) we also have here the first of a bonafide two-parter. Watch the different ways our Capeside friends react when something previously unthought of suddenly becomes the talk of the school. What indeed, what is up with our little doofus Jack?

With an epic English test bearing down on our crew, Andie comes up with the only solution: episode 207's titular "All Nighter!"
