Jen and Pacey walk though the arena. I'm beginning to suspect that Josh Jackson was arrested by the fashion police last week, as well as the regular police, because his hair looks like ass. Anyway, they're sort of chatting about their friends, and Jen tells him that she really thinks TGED is "going to stick." Pacey snorts that he was unaware that she had "the psychic power to see into the future of relationships." Jen sighs. "Yes, just not my own," she says. I really like Jen's purple coat and stripy scarf. The scarf is very Michael Kors. I want to wrap myself in it and just roll around. Anyway, Jen points in the general direction of their seats and tells Pacey that "there's going to be someone there who wants to talk to you." Pacey's smile fades in tune to The Wacky Twang Of Meddling Friends on the soundtrack. "Oh come on, you did not just do this to me," he groans. Jen admits that she did, but "out of love." Yeah, my mom said she took me to get my flu shots out of love, too, and they still hurt like a bitch. Jen promises Pacey that in a few years, he'll be glad he did the mature thing. Pacey sighs. "Come on, go," Jen tells him. "You know you want to." He walks off.
Audrey sits alone in their seats, nervously tapping her knee. Her skirt is cut up to her hoo. "Surprise," Pacey announces weakly when he gets to her. She makes some inarticulate noise in greeting as he sits beside her and says that he did call her. "I know. I just figured that I shouldn't talk to you until I hated you a little less," Audrey says. Pacey wonders how that's going. "It's going," Audrey says. "Only problem is now I kinda hate myself." I feel like that statement needs to be followed by one of those "The More You Know" graphics or something. Finally, Pacey takes Audrey's hand and asks if they can go for a walk, go somewhere more quiet and private to talk. "You really are an old man, aren't you?" Audrey asks. I hope she trips in her three-inch pumps and falls on her face. That moment of catty hatred was sponsored by Doritos. Doritos: For when a character you really used to like turns into an unpleasant bitch. Now, with more nacho cheese flavor!
Oliver and Joey are at the backstage door, where Oliver tells the security guard -- let's call him Raoul -- that he has to talk to someone who works there. "Is it me?" Raoul asks. "No," Oliver admits. So Raoul slams the door in Oliver and Joey's face. Oliver, for some reason, is dressed like Marty McFly, with a red puffy vest over a jean jacket. Which is fine with me. When I was eleven, there was no man I loved more in this world than Michael J. Fox. Joey turns to Oliver and tells him that they can stop this little game at any point. "But it's going so well," Oliver replies. Joey tells him that he doesn't have to try to impress her -- this whole thing's her fault anyway. "Believe me, if this works, you will not be impressed," Oliver says, then notices that more people are approaching the door. He claims that this is good, for some reason that we never learn because Joey sees that the people approaching are Dawson and Natasha and drags Oliver away to hide from them.
