(Starlight Dance Studio - Joey is walking out with her coat when she notices Pacey sitting at a table. (They leave, laughing. Dawson just smiles at Pacey and Jen and follows Joey out.) Dawson: Scholarship? I'm working on a project with Pacey. If you look around, there are about six people who wear their teeth to bed, let alone go to high school with us. Is that Joey? It's him! It's him! Jack: Good night, Andie. Jack: These are E-mails from people who saw it. Pacey: God, I don't believe that guy! That's what happened to me when I took another guy to the prom last year and the story got picked up by the AP wire." The End.) The scene cuts back and forth between Joey and Jen and Pacey and Dawson.) They just did the whole prom thing as a... as a statement. Want to meet tonight. Would you go for it? You do realize how absolutely imperative it is that no one, and I mean no one, find out about our after school activities, because on the sliding scale of embarrassing and decidedly non-butch activities for a teenage male to be involved in, waltzing is right up there with painting your own pottery.

Crossed wires lead him to believe that Joey is the one apparently having sex with Pacey, but when the friends discover the truth, an excessive reaction from Joey leads to teasing from Pacey. After careful consideration, Pacey and Jen realise that things will never happen for them, and they go back to being just good friends. To win a scholarship for college, Joey enrolls at a local dance school with Pacey as her partner.
