It seems that if you don't use anti-bacterial Tide, your babies will die. So, FYI.
Okay, this Skeeve-searches-for-her-mom storyline is so stupid. Skeeve found that snapshot in the attic last year. She asked her parents, and they confessed that she was adopted. All she knows about her birth mother is that she lived around here somewhere, but she hasn't found her yet, so she's leaving Capeside. Dawson believes her this time. I'm sure that makes all the difference to Skeeve. He returns her picture. She says he's sweet and that she played with him, but he dug at her, and wanted to see inside "her screwed-up little soul." Well, he wanted to see inside something of hers. She preens and simpers on the bed for a while, and then takes her linebacker's shoulders and her mismatched breasts and climbs out the window. Glark tells her, "Try not to suck any dick on your way through the parking lot!"
Jen lies on the quilt in the park. Jack asks if he should fall on his sword now or wait until the battle's over. Jen says she doesn't care, because either way, he's a dead man. Jack says he did it for Jen, not Henry, because he wanted to show Jen that the things she wants are there for the taking, if she just believes she deserves them. Jen says that "this" (the park, presumably) was their place -- hers and Jack's -- and it hurt her when she found out that didn't mean anything to him. Jack says it does mean something to him, but he thought she should want more. She says, "I've had lovers, I've had boyfriends, but what I've never had is a boy who's first and last a friend, who wasn't secretly trying to get in my pants" or wouldn't leave when she said she wouldn't sleep with him, blah blah blah who liked her for her. She adds that she thinks his setting her up with Henry was more about Jack than about her. Jack scoffs that he doesn't have a secret crush on Henry Parker. Jen says she doesn't either, but that's not what she means: "I mean that maybe it's you who's lonely for the relationship." Jack says maybe he is, but this isn't New York, and that in Capeside the gay population is one. Jen tells him he's going to have a fantastic love life. Jack says that's easy for her to say. She agrees that it is, but that he has to have faith that sometimes things happen when you least expect it. Right on cue, the sprinklers come on. They gambol. Whatever.
On the dock, Andie perks along and runs into Joey, who says that Rob isn't there yet, and that Andie "must have kept him out pretty late last night." Andie protests that nothing happened, and that even though Joey doesn't deserve to know it, Rob walked Andie home after the movie and was a perfect gentleman. Joey says, "Yeah, he's a prince, all right -- Prince of Darkness," and runs right into Rob, who accuses her, jovially, of slacking off on the job again. Andie covers by saying they were just talking "girl talk." Rob alludes to their "threesome" of the night before and says that next time, he wants to be in the middle. Ew. He adds that Joey's presence was "an unexpected pleasure" since he thought she was working, since they usually stay open until 8 PM on Fridays. Joey dismissively mutters that no one comes in after 7 PM anyway, and that Rob knows that. Rob demands that she answer the question, so she admits that she left early. Rob spits, "You're fired." Joey yelps, "What?!" Andie comes to Joey's defense, saying that this must be a misunderstanding. Joey growls, "Don't bother," and walks off. Rob calls after her, "Nice working with you, Potter." This pulls her up short, and she squares her shoulders (for once), turns around, and strides back to say, "You know what, Rob? The day your out-of-whack libido lands you in so deep that not even Daddy can save your ass, don't call me as a character witness. Rot in hell." Andie looks distressed. Rob smirks. Go Old Joey, go Old Joey, go!
