Moments later, Joey and Dawson arrive hand-in-hand in front of the same restaurant. Joey protests that Entre Nous is too expensive. Dawson scoffs and says: "Joey, we have been together for a month. I want to take you to a meal in an establishment worthy of your beauty." Joey gives him a skeptical look, at which Dawson adds: "Okay, I do admit that was a prepared statement." Joey thought so. They kiss. Whatever.
As the Barenaked Ladies croon, "This is where it ends," the maitre d' studies the book. Dawson says he made reservations two weeks ago. The maitre d' says he didn't realize there were two Leery parties. Dawsons says, "Two?" and the maitre d' motions in the direction of the Flash, who interrupts his witty, urbane chatter to La Filmette upon seeing "Dawson!" "Dad. Great," Dawson replies. Ruh roh!
In her therapist's office, Andie is told that it's possible she may be experiencing symptoms of complicated grief, to which Andie would be susceptible, given her medical history, following the death of a loved one. Andie says, "This doesn't have anything to do with my brother." The therapist, who obviously doesn't pay very close attention to things Andie says, explains: "I'm talking about Abby Morgan. Her death seems to have upset you a great deal, which ultimately may have triggered unresolved issues with your brother's passing." She asks whether Andie has ever seen Abby again, since the episode she talked about "a month ago." Andie says she hasn't, and then laughs casually and says, "Now that I think about it, I may not have seen her at all." The therapist says it's okay if she did. Andie says, "No. I don't think it is." The therapist gives Andie her home phone number, and tells her to call her if she feels her anxiety increasing. She adds that she wants to see Andie "early next week" at which time they'll talk about whether Andie needs to go on any medication. Andie snaps to at this, and says, "But you said I wouldn't have to go back on --" The therapist tells her it's different now: "What's going on inside you, Andie, may not be healing itself properly. The sooner we confront this, the better." If that's true, why not put her on meds now, as Sars and Fox1013 observed? As Andie's entire body stiffens while she contemplates this, the Barenaked Ladies return to the soundtrack, chirping, "I have faith in medication / I believe in the Prozac Nation." Good choice, music supervisors. Not.
Andie walks out to her car and lets herself in. The guy from the hall at school is sitting in the passenger seat, and says, "I like your hair." She thanks him. He asks, "Did you tell her about me?" Andie says, "I couldn't." The guy says, "That's good. What we have is a secret." Andie's voice breaks as she says, "Not for long. They're going to find out, Brown, and then we're going to have to leave each other." Brown says, "I'm not going anywhere." Andie starts racing: "Promise me? Because I can't lose you. I don't have this with anyone else. I mean, no one listens like you do." Brown says, "I know," and starts stroking her hair. Andie starts crying in earnest and says, "I'm so scared." He says nothing. She turns away and starts pounding the steering wheel, yelling, "Why is this happening to me? WHY? WHY?" and then falls into his lap. Okay, I'm sorry, but if anyone hasn't figured out by now that the guy is her dead brother Tim, they haven't watched enough crappy TV and movies.
