At the restaurant, Henry comes out of the kitchen all in a tizzy to inform Jen that Shelly just offered him no-strings-attached sex. She asks what he told Shelly, and he says he told her that he had a girlfriend. She asks whether he finds Shelly attractive. He stammers that he doesn't. Jen rears herself up and spits, "You know what, Henry? Go have sex with her. Go off and make a million babies, because I don't care anymore. Don't you dare tell me that I'm jealous." She stomps off. I guess that makes two of us who "don't care anymore." Wait. Not two. TWO MILLION.
Andie finds Will sitting out on the porch. She tells him he's a mass of contradictions: "The well-read pool shark? The blue-collar academic?" The bored Canadian? Wait, that's not him, that's me. He asks whether the colour of his collar was "that obvious," and she says it was about as obvious as the fact that he's "pretty darn smart." So...it was rather subtle, then. She asks what makes him so unhappy, reminding him of what he said in the diner, and he says it's too many things for him to mention. She asks him to pick one, and he says his dad's a jerk; he's a "total townie" who works in the factory and "treats [Will's] mother like crap." She says she's sorry. Yeah, now he's happy. Plus, Meredith Monroe is practically a pensioner and he doesn't even look like he's old enough to shave. I'm just sayin'.
At the restaurant, the Flashes bicker some more about Dead Tom and their own even deader marriage.
Montage alert! Karaoke montage alert! Dawson stays on the couch, so I live on to write. BUT FOR HOW LONG? After Pacey attempts "Wild Thing," Aunt Gwen calls Dawson and Joey up "to perform their very own special number." Dawson must enjoy my recaps, because he insists, "I'm not gonna sing," and I guess Aunt Gwen hates my recaps because she drags him up bodily and forces a microphone into his hand. I also guess that the loss of her Richard is still too recent for her to have established any romantic life of her own in his absence, because if she had, she might not be PUSHING so HARD for Dawson and Joey to get back together, like, back off, Gwenta! The opening strains of The Monkees' "Daydream Believer" -- once a favourite song of mine -- tootle on the karaoke machine and then....
...Hey. Undramatic Non-Irony here. Wing Chun just leapt off the roof and impaled herself on some of that rusty trash in the back yard, so since Dramatic Irony seems to have fallen asleep on the floor in her office, I guess I'm safe to finish the recap. Anyway, as you may have guessed, Dawson starts singing "Daydream Believer" in a pretty wussy tenor, which Joey matches note for note -- who knew her voice was so deep? She's not bad, though. Pacey watches miserably (as do we all, though for a different reason), and then wanders outside. Joey's face falls as she watches him go.
