Is it really necessary to see not one but two promos for Ricky Martin's new album? Probably not, but I'm not complaining.
At Entre Nous, Mrs. Flash thanks the maitre d' for squeezing them in at the last minute. He pours her a glass of wine, "compliments of the house," since she is "officially Entre Nous's favourite anchorwoman." She thanks him, then rolls her eyes as soon as he walks away, saying, "Look at all those happy people. I never thought romance could be so disgusting." Okay, I'll cop to it: Hee hee! Jen also chuckles, and says, "Once a romantic, always a romantic." Mrs. Flash says, "Oh, you think so." Jen says she knows so, and bets that if the band played a song that struck a chord with Mrs. Flash, her eyes would well up. Well, but...isn't that the definition of "striking a chord," at least an emotional one? Mrs. Flash allows that there are certain songs that have extra meaning. Jen asks if she and "Mitch" have a song, and when Mrs. Flash regards her silently, casually adds, "Just out of curiosity." Mrs. Flash doesn't answer, and their appetizer arrives.
At the All Awkward, All The Time table, another bottle of wine is being delivered with the compliments of "another table who wishes to remain nameless [sic]." Before the maitre d' has finished delivering his line, La Filmette evidently resumes her pontification about the business: "I just feel that the quality in films these days, you know, it's...the story is lacking." The Flash gazes longingly at his Bride. La Filmette turns her big smile on Dawson and concludes, "Promise me when you're a big Hollywood bigwig, you won't spend your time trying to make big money pictures!" She laughs a phony, silvery laugh. Dawson smiles tightly. Joey says, "Well, you don't really mean that, Miss Kennedy." "Excuse me?" snorts La Filmette. Joey says, "Well, since you already made it perfectly clear that Dawson shouldn't have anything to do with film, it's a little persnickety of you to imply that he may someday be a Hollywood bigwig, isn't it?" No, it's a little disingenuous of La Filmette to make that implication, and, Joey, I know you know the word because you used it in episode 212. Anyway, Dawson looks confused at Joey's outburst. The Flash coughs. "'Persnickety'?" asks La Filmette, reaching for her drink. Joey shrugs innocently.
Back at Meds Mansion, Pacey is cleaning up the broken lamp. Jack comes in from work and asks what happens. Pacey says that he and Andie got in a fight. Jack sighs loudly. Pacey says that he thinks something is badly wrong. Jack says that last night he caught her talking to herself: "She said she wasn't, but I heard her." Pacey says he did too, and that he'd thought she was talking on the phone. Jack asks, "Talking to who?" Pacey says he didn't hear the whole conversation, but that it sounded like she was talking to someone named "Brown." Jack looks aghast. Pacey says, "You know who that is." Before Jack can answer, Andie appears on the stairs and says, "My name for Tim. When I was little I couldn't pronounce 'Timothy,' so I called him by my favourite colour, Brown." Jack and Pacey regard her silently, so she brokenly insists, "You think I'm crazy but I'm not." Jack goes to the foot of the stairs and says, "Nobody said that." Very distressed now, Andie says, "I know what you're thinking, and I'm not; I'm not crazy, I'm not like Mom. I see Tim, and he is here!" Pacey, who by now has joined Jack at the foot of the stairs, says, "We know, Andie." This freaks her out even more, so she runs (it must be said, pretty slowly) past them and locks herself in the bathroom before they can stop her, and then call to her to open the door. Joshua Jackson pounds on it a little too hard, demonstrating how easy it should be for either of those big strong dudes to bust it down. But that would destroy the tension of the scene, I guess.
