Charlie's band lands a deal for a tour and Charlie asks Joey to go with him, but she doesn't want to leave college in the middle of the semester. Charlie then decides to quit the band and stay with her, which freaks Joey, who thinks they're jumping too many steps. She breaks up with him so he can go with his band on tour. Meanwhile, Oliver and Dawson finally get to NY to meet with an agent, but Oliver ruins the meeting. Dawson threats to end their partnership and Oliver begs for another chance. Civilization is sold and Alex Pearl takes over as the new manager. She promotes Pacey as head chef and fires Audrey. Pacey tries to get Audrey her job back, but all he gets is an inadvertent kiss from Alex. Read full recap »

If not for anything alse Ilove this episode for the fake Joey Audrey fight . And ofcourse when Audrey called Pacey a fantastic male speciment I laughed so hard I think the whole building heard me ! For the rest of the episode Charley leaves town with his band but not before asking Joey to come with him , she ofcourse refuses . But before he went he sang her a song under her window witch was really cute and interesting . O, and I must say I do think Joshua is a fantastic male speciment ! :)
