You say Wild Wild West, I say Cutthroat Island II. Call me crazy, but I agree with Daniel that the world has not exactly been clamouring for a western movie with a rap soundtrack.
Flashes. Porch. She: "Dawson will stay with you." He: "What you're saying is that your decision is based on what's best for you and not what is best for our son." She: "I'm leaving tomorrow." Soundtrack: "Don't call me. Don't write."
Over at the Icehouse, the kids are all gathered at a table studying in total silence. The Sheriff enters and addresses Pacey, asking what he's doing. Pacey answers that they're studying. The Sheriff asks Joey if her dad is in. At that moment, Mr. Pothead emerges and says hi to the Sheriff. The Sheriff says "hi" back and asks to speak to Mr. Pothead in private. Joey watches them go, looking alarmed. Joey quietly asks Pacey what's going on. Pacey says that his father's crusades are "his own deal." At least your father's crusades have some legal authority backing them up, unlike yours, which lately seem motivated by vanity and fairly unoriginal teen angst.
Anyway, in the back room the Sheriff presents Mr. Pothead with a picture of Pete and asks if Mr. Pothead has seen him. Mr. Pothead says he's an old friend. The Sheriff says, "Yeah, with an alleged history in narcotics." Mr. Pothead says, "I wouldn't know, John. We have a strictly social relationship. He stopped by for a visit, catch up, is all." Joey bounds into the room and brightly asks, "Find everything you need, Mr. Witter?" The Sheriff says he sure did. She turns to Mr. Pothead: "Need anymore help back here, Dad?" The Sheriff says they're done, and tells Mr. Pothead that the place looks great. Mr. Pothead grins moronically and tells the Sheriff to come back next week when they're open, and he'll give him a free dinner. Joey smiles her false front smile at the Sheriff's back as he goes, then squints suspiciously at her father and asks what's going on. Mr. Pothead says that the Sheriff was just giving him "an official welcome," and tells her to go back to her friends. Joey grouchily asks, "They're never going to leave us alone, are they?" Mr. Pothead says, "Not for a while." Joey shrugs and says, "Then we'll just have to ignore them!" Mr. Pothead smiles and walks away. Joey ruefully watches him go. Dawson walks in and asks if she's okay. Joey says, "Why is Pacey's dad doing this?" Dawson says, "Because that's his job." Joey says, "No, it's his job to serve and protect Capeside from criminals, not my dad! He doesn't belong in that category anymore." Dawson says, "Look, I know you're mad --" Joey pouts, "You should be mad too! You're part of the family now." Dawson coos, "Well, when you say it like that, I'm furious." Yeah, you go, Smoove B. They suck face. Ew.
