[Scene: The School Hallway. The swimming pool! Principal: Chester. Jack looks nervously down at the dog.] [SCENE_BREAK]
[Scene: The School Hallway. Your boat is fixed. Records indicate that you are the only senior who had access to that particular warehouse. Dawson: Well...Heh. Hold on. Principal: Mr. Witter, justice is blind. [Doug and a gentleman come out of the store to the squad car, and the gentleman gets into the front seat as Doug puts his groceries in the back seat with Pacey.] Pacey is finishing up his tales of the day before. Principal: At 10:30 yesterday, your son was in Harry's hardware store purchasing a canister of white paint identical to the kind that was used to scrawl the words "class of 2001" on the sail of my boat. [Scene: Jack's House. [Scene: Dawson's House. You guys put the boat in the pool. I then would have left the boat and car with Chester and the paint.
Plan: A: Principal Peskin's; Q: Whose sailboat turns up in the school swimming pool? A: white paint; Q: What did Jack buy to write the words 'Class of 2001' on the sail of Peskin's boat? A: Chester; Q: Who was Peskin's dog? A: the previous day; Q: When was Chester kidnapped? A: Dawson; Q: Who has keyholder access to the school through his father's job? A: Pacey; Q: Who is the only senior with access to the boatyard? A: prime suspects; Q: What are Dawson, Pacey and Jack considered to be in the prank? A: the boatyard; Q: Where was Peskin's boat stolen? A: a nervous Jack; Q: Who admits to buying white paint? A: attention; Q: What does Jack attract from Chester? A: their interrogations; Q: What reveals seemingly air-tight alibis? A: seemingly air-tight alibis; Q: What do the three suspects reveal when interrogated? Summary: Principal Peskin's sailboat turns up in the school swimming pool with the words 'Class of 2001' emblazoned on the sail in white paint. On board the boat is his dog, Chester, who was kidnapped the previous day. Dawson, Pacey and Jack are all prime suspects in the prank. Pacey is the only senior with access to the boatyard from where Peskin's boat was stolen, Dawson has keyholder access to the school through his father's job (and therefore would have the ability to get the boat into the pool after hours), and a nervous Jack attracts attention from Chester, as well as admitting to buying white paint. After their interrogations reveal seemingly air-tight alibis, another culprit surfaces and some poetic justice is dished out.
