TEXT: [Scene: The deck of Pacey's boat. Pacey's cleaning on the top of the deck when Melanie comes walking up to the boat behind him.] Melanie: hey, don't I know you from somewhere? Pacey: Well, I don't know. All of us male models tend to look the same. Melanie: I don't know... you vaguely resemble this boy I had the time of my life with last summer. Pacey: Come on up here. Melanie: [Laughs] Pacey: Melanie Shea Thompson. [Laughs] I always had this funny feeling that your and my paths were gonna cross again. What took you so long? Melanie: I, uh, got busy. Pacey: Got busy... kind of sounds like code for you started dating guys more appropriate to your station in life. Melanie: There was a guy. Didn't work out, though. So is this what you do all day? Boat stuff? Shouldn't you have a job, or something? Pacey: I do actually have a job. Melanie: Wait. My cute, slacker boyfriend went and got himself a job? Pacey: Yeah. You ever heard of civilization? Melanie: As in the hippest restaurant in town? You work there? Pacey: That's me. Melanie: Wow. Talk about shattering a girls faith in the natural order of the universe. Pacey: What did you expect? Your uncle was just gonna let me live on his boat free-of-charge for the rest of my life? I had to do something to pay the rent. Melanie: Well, actually, that, um... that leads me to why I'm here. I've got some bad news for you. My uncle sold the boat. Pacey: Well, that sucks. Melanie: Yeah. But I have good news, too. My uncle selling the boat is true, but what I failed to tell you is that he bought another boat... a bigger boat, an 8o-foot shipyard schooner, to be exact, and he sent me down her to ask you if you wanted to sail around the Greek islands with him. Well, I volunteered, actually.
SUMMARY:
Dawson and Jen see that living together is not as much fun as they hoped it would be. Between ruined toothbrushes and bathroom overcrowding, they get on each other's nerves. Jen faces a new challenge at work after she turns her regular show into an advice show. She mainly gives advice to other girls with problems, and makes statements on men that hurt Dawson's feelings. She comes home expecting a fight, but Dawson surprises her by saying he won't ever treat her badly. Meanwhile, Melanie (Pacey's ex) shows up offering Pacey a job working on her uncle's new boat in the Greek Islands. After a lot of thinking, Pacey decides not to go, since he has made a successful life in Boston. Jack, somewhat estranged from Jen, moves into the fraternity house and gets his own room, but has some problems staying there after he discovers he was supposed to be rooming with another guy who felt uncomfortable living with a gay guy.
