TEXT: [Scene: Grams kitchen. Pacey, Joey, Jack, and Audrey are all gathered around helping Pacey prepare their meal] Jack: There you go. Joey: Thank you. Audrey: Do do do do Joey: ooh. Audrey: Mmm. Dee dee dee dee Joey: ooh, the rice is looking kinda gummy, pace. Pacey: Uh, no. It's risotto, Jo, and it's not gummy. It's just absorbing the stuff. Jack: Joey, please don't hinder the man's process, all right? I'm starving. Audrey: Yeah, me, too. What gives with the fancy rice? Pacey: It's risotto, and it can't just be cooked. It has to be built. Audrey: Well, that's awesome and everything, but if the plan is for us to bond, let's just order a pizza and give each other manicures. Joey: Audrey, aside from the fact that we said that we would have these weekly dinners and have obviously failed to do so, Pacey's cooking, on his night off, no less. I mean, we should at least welcome the break from dining hall fare. Audrey: Yeah, well, you promised me a Grams, and I see no Grams, so the evening is clearly ruined. I'm liking the decor, however. Hey, you guys ever go crazy and eat off the plates on the wall? Pacey: Hey, Audrey, you know that onion I asked you to chop? Audrey: Yes. Yes, I do. Pacey: Fork it over. Audrey: Oh, no. I'm sorry. I thought you were just trying to make me feel included by giving me a little task to do. I didn't... Joey: Hands Pacey the cut up onion] here, Pace. Joey: So, where are Jen and Dawson? I thought the festival ended yesterday. Jack: Yeah, Jen called grams, said they were stayin' an extra day. Something about, uh, soaking up the atmosphere. I don't know. [Sc
SUMMARY:
Pacey offers to cook for the gang at their weekly dinner (an event they always plan on doing but have so far failed to stick to). 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.
