At the gala, some snobby people were rubbing it in that Gale was fired from her Phiully job. Dawson was surprised at the news. The entertainment, much to Miss Freckling's dismay, were female impersonators. Joey confronts Andie about what Rob had said. Andie brings Pacey a sailing cap for his new boat. Pacey said that it was over between them, and that when she slept with someone else, it was her heart's way of telling her that he was not the one for her.

Green assigns Pacey and Joey to be the donkey mascot at the game. Andie talks to the mirror in preparation for her confession to Green. Dawson feels bad about what is happening on the field and enters the dressing room during intermission. Dawson offers to obscure the jersey numbers and Jen applies mascara to each of the players.

Henry Parker was the one who bid $500 and was kissed by Jen. Green announces the Homecoming Queen as Jen --- another position she did not want. Pacey gets to show Joey what he wanted to show her in the first place. Pacey had bought a boat for $200, named it "True Love", and must whip it into shape.

Rob asks Joey for a date, and Joey turns him down. Eve and Dawson go out on the roof and Eve gives Dawson a "advance" copy of the PSAT test.

Dawson offers the package to the group, but they argue about who needs it the most. A fire drill occurs and Dawson is asked to leave his belongings behind. The test sits on a desk. Rob is especially mean and cancels a night off that Joey had requested to prepare for her PSAT. Jen is bandaging Jack's bruised ribs. Jack wants to quit but Jen changes his mind. Dawson went at night to look for the exam.

Dawson goes back to the group and says that it was one of them. Andie gives back to Pacey everything he had given her. Henry Parker, the QB, has wild thoughts about Jen, and tells Jack about them. Pacey goes to visit Joey in a drunken state. Eve tells Dawson that it was one of his friends, and the first name to come to mind is the one who stole it. Dawson figures that it was Pacey and he goes looking for Pacey. They have a punchup and gets bloodied.

Joey nurses a beaten up and drunk Pacey. Dawson feels bad about what Eve has done to his life and tells her, "Now that I know you, I don't really like you." Jack, with renewed determination, does well at practice. At the beginning of the PSAT exam, Dawson returns the paper and walks out. A minute later, Pacey does the same. They talked and said that it was a dumb thing to be fighting over.

Eve says she's a senior at Dawson's school. Jack's dad, who has moved his business closer to home, doesn't want Jack to come home. Pacey and Joey try to get Andie home from the psychiatric center a day earlier but was denied admission. Joey distracted the nurse while Pacey snuck in. Principal Green, whose football team was winless in 3 years, asks Dawson to reedit some footage for the pep rally. Eve offers Dawson sex and he acccepts, but Eve will tell Dawson about the time and place. Pacey gets to Andie's room, and he interrupts Andie and a guy (Marc) sitting on Andie's bed.

Jack joins in and keeps picking off passes at practice. Dawson is at the drugstore looking for condoms. Pacey becomes jealous, but Andie tells Pacey not to worry, but Andie's body language seems to suggest that she didn't really want to leave. Henry Parker, the freshman quarterback, keeps sending passes to Jack.

Pacey asks Andie to go to the movies, but Andie seems to be giving him the brushoff. Mitch, tired of the gang of sorry-asses on his team, asks Jack if he wants to play ball. Jack, initially reluctant due to the ridicule he would receive, finally accepted after Mitch pleaded with him. Jen gives Dawson some sex tips. At the pep rally, Henry Parker falls at the feet of Jen, the head cheerleader, and his eyes seems to bulge out (possible love connection here). Pacey pulls Andie away for a chat. Dawson's film is shown at the pep rally. Eve pulls Dawson away from the projection room. Andie confesses to Pacey that she had slept with Marc once. Pacey walks away in anger. Eve wants to do the deed behind the screen as the school was watching the film. Dawson's butt taps the "raise screen" button and the whole school sees Dawson and Eve partially disrobed. The school cheers and Dawson accepts the applause, until he caught the shocked face on Joey in the audience (best scene).

Dawson, concerned with Joey, tells Pacey to have a talk with Joey to see if she was OK. Dad tries to ask Jack to come home and Jack responds, "No", again, but Jack tells his dad to ask again someday. Upon Joey's urgings, Pacey sought out Andie to clear the air. Andie asks for forgiveness; Pacey said that he could forgive but he couldn't forget. Upon returning home, Dawson sees Joey waiting for him at the dock. Joey tells Dawson that she realizes that it was time to move on. Dawson then gives Joey his necklace.

Joey is working the docks with her new boss, Rob, who she hates. Dawson tells Pacey about the blonde on the bus. They go on to chat about Joey and Dawson says that he won't forgive her. Mitch is named the coach of the football team. Principal Green gives the opening day speech. Jen decides to try out for the cheerleading team, after being egged on by a nasty cheerleader, Belinda. Dawson and Pacey decide to go to a strip bar, after a Joey-sighting. The blonde (Eve) that Dawson met on the bus was working here as a stripper.

Eve appears at Dawson's house and surprises Dawson and Pacey by being there. Pacey tells Dawson to take Eve out on Mitch's powerboat, without Mitch's permission. At auditions, Jen tells Belinda to screw off in front of the whole school. Dawson and Eve kiss on the boat. With Dawson steering the boat, Eve attempts to perform oral sex on Dawson. As a result, Dawson crashes the boat into the dock. Joey comes to see who crashed, and Rob asked if she knew this moron. Joey responded, "I thought I did."

Rob assesses a $3000 bill for damages. Dawson gets mad at Eve for a second, but Eve tells him that he "should stop living from the neck up." Jen becomes head cheerleader and a folk hero after disgracing Belinda. Dawson rounds up his pennies and could only come up with $42.78. Eve shows up at Dawson's door and brings $400, collected from the girls at the bar. Dawson declined the money. Pacey suggests that they have a stripper party ($20/person) at Dawson's house to raise the money. Dawson just didn't feel right about the party and headed to his room to lie down. Joey was there in the dark. Joey tells Dawson that he was ashamed of what she did. That was why she didn't call Dawson. Joey takes off her shirt (to win Dawson back and feeling threatened by the presence of Eve) to offer her sexually to Dawson but Dawson said that he couldn't go through it again (i.e., the turmoil of last year). Joey leaves in tears.

The tally is in ... Dawson has raised $3162. Dawson tells Pacey that Joey still wants him. Dawson tells Pacey to look in on Joey to see if she was OK. Eve wants Dawson to go on another boat ride. Mitch comes home to the party and calls for Dawson. Dawson declines to go with Eve, and Eve tells Dawson off. Pacey finds Joey crying at the dock and comforts her with a hug.
