And I am sorry, but Professor Flip-Flops is so completely Scary One Life To Live Todd to me, now and forever, that I half-expect him to knock her on the back of the head with something.
Pacey and Sadia sit by a large fountain -- yet another scenic location in Boston, North Carolina -- where she chatters about how nice it is to find that Pacey has a soul and is not just another heartless financial bastard. Pacey laments that he has inadvertently "screwed over" Dawson. He tells her that the rest of his clients knew what they were doing, but Dawson left his money in Stock-O-Doom at Pacey's recommendation alone, so he feels more responsible for it. Sadia assures him that this is "the life of being a broker." Pacey says he can't accept it, and needs to fix it. She hems and haws before saying she has a few questions to ask on the record, and he asks if they can do it another time. (Hee, "do it another time.") He says yes. She says she can't tonight, because she has plans. "Let me guess," Pacey says. "The boyfriend." "Fiancé, actually," she answers. Wow, nice. That's basically what Pacey says, laughing and looking amusedly horrified at what he has once again gotten his cute ass into. "The hits just keep on coming," he says. She tells him that it's a long-distance relationship, and it's boring, and so forth. "All right, well, so long as it's boring, that makes everything okay," Pacey says. They share an uncomfortable look, and Pacey says that "it was good while it lasted." She kisses him on the cheek in that "I love you, you disarmingly charming ruffian" way that Capeside women are always doing to him. "Call me if you want to talk," she says. Bitch. Don't tell him that! Man. He stares off miserably, then sits down to ponder his options, of which he has none.
At the helpline offices, Jack is sitting depressedly on a couch while Jen finishes up with a call. Hey, remember Jen? She's also on this show, at least occasionally. When she's done, she comes over to join Jack, and tells him that he's so glum that it must be either school problems or David problems. Jack says it's not the first one, and Jen cringes sympathetically. Jack asks Jen if she buys Little David's theory that he was just trying to prove something to himself. She doesn't know. "Who wants to be that thirty-five-year-old guy who's still living alone and going out to bars trying to find the right person?" HEY! Okay, I'm not a guy. Or thirty-five. But still, shut up, Jack. Jen tells him basically this, saying that she doesn't think you have to meet your great love in high school, at twenty-five, or at thirty-five (whew!). You just keep looking no matter what. Jack, surprisingly, yaps to her about how much he and David like her with CJ. He congratulates her on finding somebody who makes her happy. "Somebody who's not gay," he says with a smirk. Jen says that CJ is somewhat gay, at least in the seventh-grade sense. Heh. Jen agrees that he does make her happy. She says she'd share CJ with Jack if she could. Hey, I know a lot of people who would watch that episode. They might even buy the DVD.
