Having ruled out any physical source of the periodic faintness Dawson's been feeling, Dawson's doctor recommends a therapist specializing in grief who works in Boston. Dawson doesn't tell anyone he has an appointment to see her, which may be why he only makes it as far as her waiting room before bailing to try to put on a brave face with his friends -- including Jack, who takes him straight to a frat party for some drinking games. This gets Dawson just wasted enough to say some really hurtful things to Joey when he sees her later that night. By that point, Joey has already been listening to hurtful things all night: Audrey's mother Kay (Brenda Strong!) has come to town to re-up all the food and body issues Audrey may have allowed to go dormant in her absence. Elsewhere, Jen is still moping about having spotted Charlie kissing another girl, but when Pacey points out that she can always get even with him, Jen decides to run with it. Don't be anxious: our episode on "High Anxiety" is right here -- and Adam Grosswirth is sitting in for Sarah as our very special guest co-host!
