Down on the stage? More singing.
Outside, Pacey and Emma hang in the parking lot. I guess they got kicked out of the concert for fighting. "She's not your girlfriend anymore, mate! Not that it would matter if she were," Emma yells at Pacey, when Pacey wonders if she doesn't think he had the right to punch Blandy. And good for Emma. Pacey counters that Blandy took unfair advantage of Audrey. Dude, Pacey, Audrey is a grown-up. It was consensual sex. Blandy didn't even know she had a boyfriend. If Pacey wants to deck someone, it ought to be Audrey. And even that's not fair, because Pacey and Audrey were broken up! And he was making out with a whore! So cool your jets, Witter. Emma basically tells him exactly this, leaving out the bit about the whore. "This is so not Audrey," Pacey yelps. Well, that doesn't make it Blandy's fault, dude. Emma yells back at him that he's hurt and he feels guilty, and "despite all [his] protestation to the contrary," Pacey "still wants to save this girl," and that's why he's got his knickers in a knot. Pacey thinks about this and finally admits that she's right.
Elsewhere, Jen ices Blandy's face. She tells him to quit squirming. "You're lucky I'm even talking to you right now," she says. Wait, they all got kicked out? How is that possible? That wouldn't happen. Blandy and Pacey and probably Audrey would get ejected, but it's not like security would take Pacey and Blandy's tickets and go to those seats and kick out all the people sitting around them. If anything, Jen and Emma and the rest of them could just claim not to know Blandy and Pacey. I guess they could have all left in solidarity with the Misters Fisticuffs, but I find it hard to believe that they would even have known they were ejected until much after it happened. Anyway, Blandy tells Jen that this entire situation must be bringing her a great deal of satisfaction. "No, actually it's not," she spits, throwing the ice pack at his chest and informing him that he and Audrey are both adults, and she's not going to apply "some ridiculous double standard to the situation" just because her own feelings got hurt. Blandy touches his eye gingerly and apologizes. "I wish that hadn't happened," he tells her. Jen says that she knows this, and that she's finally realizing that "it probably really sucks to be him," because if his fondest desire is to hang out with Audrey, then he clearly has more issues than Newsweek. "And you know what?" she finishes. "If I decided to start helping people, I would be a hell of a lot better at it than you are." With this, she stomps away. The way Jen's gloves are hanging out of her back pocket makes it look like she has three hands. That would be cool. "Next week, on a very special Dawson's Creek, the summer Jen spent working on the Capeside Nuclear Reactor comes back to haunt her." Jen's third hand is sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
