Okay, so then Pacey is ushering a blindfolded Andie into a rather sumptuously appointed suite, lit only with candles. I don't know how a 16-year-old would be able to rent a room at a Motel 6, much less a fancy bed and breakfast (for that is what it is), but whatever. So they enter the room, and Andie doesn't know where they are, and Pacey recaps their evening (dinner at a bistro, followed by a walk along the docks, which they apparently also did with Andie blindfolded -- bizarre!) and reminds her that there is only one place they could be right now. Andie tells him that if she finds herself in a bed and breakfast, he's dead. She gets all flustered regarding the bed and says she doesn't know whether to be touched or terrified. Pacey says this night wasn't meant to decide "the final verdict," and that he just wanted to give her her fantasy evening, and they don't necessarily have to do it: "It's a step-by-step process for me too." Andie gets yet more nervous and chokes up and says he's great but she can't do this. He hugs her and tells her it's okay and not to be upset with him, and that she makes him think there's hope for his pathetic existence, and he's lucky, and doesn't have to sleep with her to feel it. She says, "Witter, you make me want to do it," and they kiss. Cut to commercial.
Then Dawson's in his room working on his laptop listening to some total vagina music. He looks at a picture of Joey, and then highlights all the text on screen and deletes it and closes the computer without saving it or turning it off.
Back at the trailer, Jack has his clothes on and is vaguely apologizing, as Joey puts her art supplies away. By the way, he and Joey are wearing almost exactly the same outfit: carpenter jeans, a white t-shirt, and a plaid button-down shirt, only Jack's is blue and Joey's is orange. Is Joey supposed to be boyish? Is she Jack's Secret Sharer? Anyway, Jack says, "Listen, I'm really sorry." Joey says, "Listen, Jack, it's okay. Don't worry about it. Stuff happens. Although, not usually that kind of stuff, and usually not in the Potter living room." Jack says he didn't think it was such a big deal for him to pose for her, and asks if it will screw things up with them. Joey already looks stiff and uncomfortable around him, but plays it off. Jack says he didn't intend to bring sex into this evening, and that he only wanted to help her, and then trails off. Joey answers that it's okay, and that they both came into this evening with the noblest of intentions, but that there's something between them, and then she also trails off and continues to put stuff away. Joey says it was her fault, because she asked to hear about Jack's sex stuff, and Jack agrees that it was her fault, and they both laugh, and then Joey says, "Tonight was a big step in the life of little Joey Potter," in that she doesn't feel so little anymore and just bit off too much (hee!). Jack says it's okay, and that she was curious. Joey says she's wrestling with her hormones just like everyone else. Jack says, "Well, you know, if you ever want to explore your curiosity, I'm available." "First you're a model and now you're a tour guide?" she asks. Jack says, "I'm just a guy who finds it really hard not to want to [curious usage there -- what he's actually said is that not wanting to hold her is hard for him, so does he really not want to hold her at all, and the knowing is what's difficult?] hold you, and touch you, and I hadn't even really realized that until tonight, when it was completely forbidden." Joey moves toward him and points out that he has his clothes on now. He asks if that means it's not forbidden. She says that it's just not scary. He says that two scared people cancel each other out, meaning that "tonight was a night of firsts. And there's no reason that it has to stop." Is Jack's first that he's going to make out with a girl? I say yes. So they kiss.
