On the ferry, Billy's "Deliverance twins" enjoy a couple of beers whilst, unbeknownst to them, Dawson fiddles with the undercarriage of their truck. Pacey and Billy try to watch, casually. Dawson attaches a chain from the edge of the boat to the bottom of the rednecks' truck. The ferry pulls in. Pacey moons the rednecks while Billy peels off the ferry. The guys in the truck floor it and the rear axle of the truck breaks off. Dawson hoots, seemingly unconcerned that his face is fully visible to the victims of his vandalism. Whatever.
In the bar, the boys play pool. Billy asks Dawson if he's picked out his "companion for the evening yet." Dawson says no. Billy tells him he has "to keep on top of these things," and remarks that Pacey probably hasn't let pool interfere with "business." Billy points out a couple of candidates he thinks are likely prospects for Dawson. These women are not visible to the viewer, so it's impossible to tell whether Billy has identified the ladies in the bar who are (a) deaf, and (b) blind.
At Capeside High, Mrs. Tingle is thanking a bunch of students for helping her set up the night's college fair, and says she'll see them all back in a couple of hours. As the students start to file out, Mrs. Tingle stops Joey and sits her down for "a word." Mrs. Tingle says that in a school this size, it's hard to keep secrets, and that girls Joey's age often make mistakes. Joey replies, "Yeah, well, boys have been known to make a few mistakes themselves." Mrs. Tingle agrees that's true, but says that the price boys pay for their mistakes seem to much less: "You're going to be going through some tough times ahead, and I want to be sure you're prepared." It seems that Mrs. Tingle wants Joey to enroll in the school's Family Living course. Joey says, "Wait. Isn't that the class where they make you carry around a sack of flour and pretend it's a baby?" Mrs. Tingle says that's only part of it, and that while what Joey's facing seems manageable now, child-rearing is filled with "trials and tribulations." Joey, evidently realizing that this game is not so much fun anymore, stops her and hurries out.
Cut to a locker, on which someone has affixed a bumper sticker that reads: "Anyone can make a BABY!. It takes a real man to be a FATHER!" Warren Garry walks up to the locker and disgustedly rips off the sticker. He opens the locker to find it contains a baby doll, a pair of baby boots, and a bottle. He looks distressed as he puts all three items in his bag. Heh.
