Rehab of the Boring. Audrey walks Dawson out to his car, thanking him for coming to see her and telling him that she did some "hardcore healing" in their phony therapy session. She's had more fun with him than she has in months, she says. Dawson shrugs that, for his part, he's realized that his problems aren't that bad. Audrey looks at her feet and tells Dawson that she's scared of what's beyond the rehab gates. She didn't leave things on the best of terms, she reminds him. "It can be like it was. Minus the bad parts," Dawson assures her kindly. "I don't think it can," Audrey tells him. "But I'm kind of glad of that." At this, they hug, and he leaves.
Back at the party, TGED and Jack chat on the sofa. "You really used to go out with Joey, huh?" TGED asks. Jack's all, "You've been talking to Joey?" TGED shrugs. "Well, if you didn't keep ditching me to go make out with girls," he says. Oh, TGED. You have no idea. Jack wonders what Joey told him, exactly. "I'd like to see your work sometime," TGED answers. I just bet he would. Jack chuckles and apologizes for being so distracted. He's pretty worried about Emma, he says. "Crisis averted," TGED reminds him, nodding at the destroyed television. Jack muses that he had no idea she was in such a bad state. TGED reminds him that this isn't his problem to solve. "Unless you want to go marry her yourself," he says. Oh my God, TGED, don't go putting words in his mouth!
Blandy and Jen lie nekkid in Pacey's bed, covered in people's coats. Well, Jen is under the coats. I think Blandy is under the blankets, properly. Not that there's anything particularly proper about having sex in your friend's bed during a party, at least as far as actual etiquette is concerned. Especially when that bed is covered in other people's clothing. Eventually, Blandy pulls himself out of her arms and starts to get dressed. "I think some people want to get in here," he says. Jen tells him to let them wait. "Their coats aren't that nice, anyway," she says. Well, they certainly aren't now, all covered in…stuff. "You should know. You're the one wallowing around in them," Blandy tells her. Ew. Why would you have sex on these poor innocent people's overcoats? That's what the floor is for. Anyway, they start making out some more. "Sure beats arguing over whether or not I had a drink," Blandy whispers. Jen smiles that that was fun for a while too, then admits that she really needs to let him live his life. He shrugs and confesses that she wasn't entirely wrong. He was nervous when he saw Pacey, he says. "It reminded me of all the drama. I just wanted to make you happy. Try to be normal." Jen tells him that she was trying to do the same thing. "I don't care about any of that stuff anymore. I just want to do this. Can we do this?" she asks. "I think we just did," he smiles. "I think some coat owners aren't going to be too happy with the result." People! That's so uncalled for! Don't spooge on clothes that don't belong to you or your partner! It's cold in Boston! Those people are going to have to go home in juicy jackets! It's just wrong! It offends me! Both as a partygoer, and as someone who just really likes coats. Jen tells him that she's serious. He knows that, he says. "You tried faking me out before, remember? You're not very good at it." They smile at each other, and Blandy tries to convince her to come out from under the coats. "This is Joey's coat. She has enough coats," Jen says. Shout-out? Blandy grins, and kisses her. "Come on, let's go get wasted," he laughs.
Eventually, everyone leaves the party. Jack and Emma clean. Jack tells her that he's awfully sorry about her "failed marriage and everything." But he thinks it's better for her to go home to England than to find herself in a loveless marriage.
