Again With This: Dawson's, Melrose, 90210

Dawson is back on set in Boston for the first day of shooting, and things aren’t going great. For one thing, Todd fired the PA who was supposed to pick up the leading lady at the airport, and someone who was already “a handful” to begin with doesn’t get any more mellow after being made to wait an hour. Back at Hell’s Kitchen, Eddie goes from a lecture about On The Road from Joey to a huge catering order. Could it be from– But no, it couldn’t. COULD IT?! (It is.) Pacey is very responsibly begging off a night with Audrey to study for his exam when Rinaldi orders him to come out clubbing with some of the big bosses. Audrey, Jen, and Jack are on their way to a house party when they round a corner just as some guy is bellowing about hitting up a strip club next. Could it…okay, yeah, it is. Lucky for Jack, this doesn’t change his plans, because what might be waiting for HIM at the party is destiny.

Remember in the weirdly rescheduled Halloween episode when Pacey promised to make dinner for everyone when Jen and Dawson came back from New Hampshire? It's time. On their way in, Dawson and Jen agree to keep things low-profile before proceeding to mack on the doorstep AND in the foyer, where their friends all immediately witness them doing. Cue the entrances and exits as Jack worries that Jen and Dawson are both too emotionally raw for what they're embarking on, everyone monitors Joey for signs of an imminent breakdown, and Pacey is alternately annoyed by and concerned about his diners failing to appreciate his food. We tell you where everyone leaves things, so we hope you brought an appetite for our episode on "Appetite For Destruction"!JOIN THE AWT CLUB🌴 Access to 'Again With Again With This' bonus episodes💬 Access to the AWT Discord🚫 Ad free episodes👯‍♀️ High rollers get access to 'Again With Them,' our monthly digest of Tori and Jennie's 9021OMG podcastNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids🍬 Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S11.E02: "Sugar" on Hulu🎧 Looking to get older episodes on your app?

On Dr. Weir's encouragement, Dawson decides he should go to the Hooksett, NH Film Festival and collect his prize for his documentary on Mr. Brooks. Since Jen is eager to get away from Charlie and Nora, Dawson suggests that she come...................as it were but NO SPOILERS. Jack invites Joey to be his date for the frat's winter formal, but when the call goes out at the house to hook unattached brothers up with girls who are goers, Jack admits that he might know one, and sets his brother Eric up with Audrey. What conflict ensues probably wouldn't if Eric were at all a decent conversationalist. Pacey decides to reframe the narrative with Karen by asking her out on a no-expectations, non-romantic date, but Pacey being Pacey, his best-laid plans...................okay, again, no spoilers.

Having ruled out any physical source of the periodic faintness Dawson's been feeling, Dawson's doctor recommends a therapist specializing in grief who works in Boston. Dawson doesn't tell anyone he has an appointment to see her, which may be why he only makes it as far as her waiting room before bailing to try to put on a brave face with his friends -- including Jack, who takes him straight to a frat party for some drinking games. This gets Dawson just wasted enough to say some really hurtful things to Joey when he sees her later that night. By that point, Joey has already been listening to hurtful things all night: Audrey's mother Kay (Brenda Strong!) has come to town to re-up all the food and body issues Audrey may have allowed to go dormant in her absence. Elsewhere, Jen is still moping about having spotted Charlie kissing another girl, but when Pacey points out that she can always get even with him, Jen decides to run with it.

Mitch is dead, and everyone's stopped their lives to deal with it. All the Boston students, plus Grams and Pacey, come back for the funeral. (Evidently all Pacey's relatives -- including Gretchen, who lives less than a half-day's drive away -- had better things to do.) Jen doesn't know how to help Dawson, and says so to him. Joey thinks she does, and gets rebuffed. Dawson himself is handling as much of the preparations as he can because Gale has fully broken down, though when he does open up, it's to tell Joey he blames himself entirely for Mitch's death. This is such a relentlessly grim one that we better get at least three kooky ones to balance it out, but for now, say hello to our episode on "The Long Goodbye"!JOIN THE AWT CLUB🌴 Access to 'Again With Again With This' bonus episodes💬 Access to the AWT Discord🚫 Ad free episodes👯‍♀️ High rollers get access to 'Again With Them,' our monthly digest of Tori and Jennie's 9021OMG podcastNOTES🗒 Full episode notes can be found on this episode's page on our site🖼️ Check out this episode's Visual Aids🛍️ Julie Bowen for Sears💉 Rachael Leigh Cook for the Partnership For A Drug-Free America🍳 Tony Hale for Pam⛳️ Mitchell Laurance for Cleveland Golf🚗 Jane Lynch for the Chevrolet Beretta🍬 Meredith Monroe for Mentos🤫 Meredith Monroe for Secret🥚 Lawrence Pressman for The Incredible Edible Egg💆🏻‍♂️ John Wesley Shipp for Head & Shoulders🤐 John Wesley Shipp for Secret🐄 Kerr Smith for Gateway Computers🎞️ Jenna Cavelle on IMDb🎧 Looking to get older episodes on your app?
