TEXT: [Scene: Joey's Dorm room. Joey is sitting in front of her laptop computer, trying to type an email to Dawson, and all she has managed to type so far is <unk>Dear Dawson<unk> and the title of the email <unk>The Incident<unk>. And from there she does not even know how to continue. She spends a long time trying to figure out how to start the email, but just can't figure out how to start. Audrey is just getting back to the room.] Joey: [Sighs] [Door opens] Audrey: Oh, my god! You're still there, like a vegetable. Joey: Writing a good e-mail is hard. Audrey: Yes, especially when it is a huge mistake. Joey: Shut up. Audrey: Joey, I am serious. E-mail expression is the scourge of the modern age. The internet has made it way too easy to express oneself. Ok, you have some fleeting thought. You send it. It lands with a thud in some unsuspecting person's mailbox. Said person then reads it, gets irked because you've recapped a conversation that you presumably already had. They fail to respond. You feel slighted. But if you must be one of these pathetic passive/aggressive e-mail types, far be it from me to stop you. What do you have so far? Joey: Well... I had "Dear Dawson," and then I erased it. Audrey: Why? I think that's a nice start. Joey: I seemed cold. Audrey: True. I mean, you did just nude-up with the guy. Oh, I'm sorry, or did you guys do it through a hole in a sheet because that's very Dawson and Joey to me. Joey: Again, shut up. Audrey: Sorry. Ok, so what do you want to say? Joey: I don't know. I mean, I don't like the way things ended, and I want him to know that I care, but I also want to hold on to my righteous indignation. Audrey: Obviously. Well, why don't
SUMMARY:
Joey's worst nightmare comes true when she accidentally sends a very personal e-mail she wrote for Dawson to the entire student body. The next morning, Joey's e-mail is the topic of virtually all campus discussions when Professor Hetson decides to debate it with his students. Meanwhile, Jack makes an attempt to get to know a little better his cultural professor, Mark Freeman, who pays no attention to Jack. Pacey, while struggling to survive the first days on his new job, closes a very important deal for the firm, which his wheeling-dealing mentor Rich Rinaldi takes full credit for. Eddie, a student in Joey's reading class, who also works as the bartender at Hell's Kitchen, persuades Joey to confront any challenge that Hetson throws and not show any weakness since Hetson thrives on it. James Van Der Beek only appears in the last scene of the episode, and doesn't have any lines.
