A reaction, please. At graduation. Audrey tries to get Joey to open up and let out what she is feeling...since she did just witness Dawson and Jen kissing.] Dawson: Joey, it hurts to be around you. How do you feel about that? It's a good try, but no, because there are many more courses to come, and although they may not be up to snuff for finicky sorts such as yourself, I put a lot of time and energy into them, so that has to be worth something, right? Jen: Is this about Charlie? Joey, come on. Joey: So, where are Jen and Dawson? Keep it up with the funny. Pacey: Now, there's an interesting idea, but what more could have happened? [Ackward silent staring between the two]
[Scene: Returns to Pacey at one end of the dining table and Audrey at the other end talking]
Pacey: Look, I'm just as happy living in denial as the next guy, but, really, is the food that bad? [Dawson closes the door.] [Everyone clangs their cups together]
Everyone: Cheers. [Jen lays across Dawson's legs]
Jen: I've had it with catharsis.

Jen and Dawson return early and decide to keep what happened between them, but they are caught by everyone kissing at the door. The dinner continues with a tense atmosphere, with Joey's reaction being at the forefront of everyone's minds. She reluctantly accepts Dawson's new status with Jen, but is wounded when Dawson tells her that because of their history, it hurts to be around her. Charlie also drops by, causing some tension between Dawson and Jen. Joey talks to Pacey about her real feelings about Dawson and Jen.
