Elsewhere, Pacey seems to have raced out to The Cake Top Warehouse and gotten a new one to replace the one Andie crushed. They put it on the cake, the bride gets choked up. The day is saved. Oh, how I wish I cared. But I don't.
On the boardwalk, Jen is walking up the stairs, and Abby is walking up to her fate. Both are pretty tipsy. Jen slurs, "Do you ever think that you'll get married?" Abby says, "Married? To some beer-swigging, football-watching bonehead?" Jen laughs, and continues the portrait: "Living in some cookie-cutter house with two snot-nosed little brats and driving car pool, baby!" Abby: "Grocery shopping!" Jen: "Climbing the walls, popping valium -- suburban nightmare." They've reached the top of the stairs by now and sit down. Abby says, "You know, I don't think I'll ever be happy. Wherever I am, I'll always wish I'm someplace else. Whatever I have, I'll always want something different." Jen says, "I hear you." Abby says, "I just don't want to be a cliché." "Or boring," Jen adds. Abby says, "I just wanna drink." "Amen," says Jen. Abby starts listing and smacks her head. Jen laughs. Abby whines, "Ow! That hurt, you bitch!" She starts to get up, then loses her footing and falls off the dock. Jen starts screaming Abby's name and then jumps in after her. I guess this wasn't dramatic enough, because then we cut...
...back to the wedding, where Pacey asks Andie to dance. She admits that weddings aren't so bad, and adds, "I think when we get married, we should do it in Venice, because it is the city of romance. What do you think?" Pacey diplomatically answers, "I think that by the time we're thirty, that city will have sunk into the sea."
Dawson asks a very forlorn-looking Mrs. Flash to dance. As they dance, he reminds her of the advice she'd given him about tenacity. She thanks him, choked up.
Jack tells Joey she did it, and that the wedding was a success. She says she's just glad it's over. He directs her attention to the kitchen door, where Mr. Pothead stands, having changed out of his chef gear and into a rather smart suit. He asks Joey to dance. Dawson and Mrs. Flash watch them, I believe, until Mr. Pothead sees Dawson and the two couples switch partners. Mrs. Flash welcomes him home and they dance off. Dawson and Joey exchange "heys" and then she thanks him for being her friend, and for understanding her better than anyone else. And then she says, "I love you," and he says, "I love you too," and I say, "I can't go through this again! My God!" Then they kiss quite soulfully while his mom and her dad look on proudly. Ew.
