This episode, with the four different perspectives of the day, is amazing. The acting is brilliant, the storylines fabulous, and the music, as always, perfect.
First, Joey and Pacey are struggling to tell Dawson about their blossoming relationship. They start in the boat shack making out and trying to find the right way to tell Dawson about their relationship. We then see poor Andie in the library telling Joey that something may be happening again between her and Pacey. Shoot to another scene where Jen accidentally lets it slip to Dawson that something's up. And finally, bring in Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Andie (with her date) in the most emotional scene of the episode. Joey and Pacey are arguing on Dawson's front lawn as neither of them can bring themselves to tell him what is going on. Enter Andie with her date, who also does not know that Pacey and Joey are "together." The looks of heartbreak on the faces of Dawson and Andie are absolutely priceless. Brilliant work by James Vanderbeek and Meredith Monroe.
A sad, pivotal episode in the brilliant series that is Dawson.

Joey and Pacey finally show us that this is more than a hormonal glitch. Their feelings for each other are very real. Possibly stronger than even they ever imagined. Now they have to tell Dawson about their newly developed relationship. However, Dawson finds out before they can tell him, when Jen spills the beans accidentally. Pacey goes to tell Dawson and is stopped abrubptly by Joey. He then catched them outside his bedroom window arguing about the future of their relationship. When confronted, Pacey tells Dawson about he and Joey. Only for Dawson to reveal he already knows. Enter Andi, who is on a date with Will. She too is crushed by the news of Pacey and Joey. Needless to say, this doesn't end well... for anyone.

This episode did something that the series had never done before, and had never done again, the four person perspective. Pacey, Joey, and Jenn's perspective of one day are all shown in one episode. It was very fitting with the Pacey/Joey relationship coming out of the dark and under the scrutiny of practucly everyone in Capeside.

This is definitely one of the best episodes of Dawson's Creek. It will make your heart hurt because even if you are rooting for Pacey/Joey relationship you have to admit that the way Dawson found out isn't right. In the beginning of the episode when Joey and Pacey are trying to decide who will tell Dawson about them the look on Pacey's face and the tone of his voice when he tells Joey he will be the one to tell Dawson is absolutely heartbreaking. You know from the look on his face and the tone of his voice that it will break his heart to tell Dawson and that he knows it will hurt Dawson and that he doesn't want to hurt his best friend but will do it so Joey won't have to. It's a wonderful "Pacey" moment.
