TEXT: [Scene: Outside Dawson's House. They are getting ready to load up the car for a trip. Joey and Dawson are there talking.] Joey: What are you so smiley about, Dawson? Dawson: Look at us, Jo. What have we become? Joey: Care to expound? Dawson: Spring break. Most kids our age go visit some exotic, sun-drenched locale, don skimpy bathing suits, and ingest mass quantities of liquor. What do we do? We go visit my aunt. Joey: It's a ritual. It was our ritual. I'm glad we're going. I love aunt Gwen. Dawson: And she loves you. Joey: I can't believe she's selling her house. Dawson: I know. It feels like the end of an era. Joey: Do you think we can rope jack and Andie into one of our famous late-night karaoke sessions? Dawson: Ok. I thought we had agreed to go on living the rest of our lives as if they never happened. Joey: Dawson leery, ashamed of his own roots. You love that karaoke machine, and you know it. [Pacey walks up to them with Will Krudski, both are carrying bags.] Pacey: Hey, guys. Look what I found. Joey: This can't be who I think it is. Will Krudski? Will: Hey. Joey: Last time I saw you was in third grade, kicking Pacey's butt around the playground. Will: What was I supposed to do? He was calling me "Will Kruddy." Pacey: It's a good thing you moved to new Raleigh, pal, 'cause without you to worry about, I became king of the playground. Dawson: So, uh, what brings you to Capeside, will? Will: Thought I'd surprise an old friend. Pacey: And, uh, in the spirit of friendship, I took the liberty of tellin' will here that maybe you guys would have room for two more on your little impromptu journey? Dawson: I don't have a problem with that. Will: I'm not
SUMMARY:

Andie and Will appear to have a connection, and Dawson tries to bond again with Joey, who is preoccupied by her feelings for Pacey. Encouraged by Dawson's aunt, the friends have a karaoke contest. Pacey kisses Joey again and informs her that she must make the next move. They are interrupted by Dawson's aunt but later Joey initiates a kiss with Pacey. Back in Capeside, Jen and Henry go through a bumpy time when she is consumed with jealously over his friendship with a waitress at Gail's restaurant.
