Modern Romance After several weeks, Dawson's Creek returns. We see Dawson talking about Jen and how he
misses her, and then Joey brings up the question. How would Dawson react when Jen asks if
they can still be friends? When confronted with the question from Jen, Dawson says yes and
finds out that she has a date with Cliff. Dawson says he has a date, which he does not, and
makes a double date (Dawson, you idiot). Dawson quickly goes and finds a date, Mary Beth.

We then see Dawson and Pacey in Marine Biology. Pacey is the only student to fail, and with a
great grade of 32%. He has to do an extra credit project on snails with a sixth period student.
He agrees, and in walks the student, Joey. After a quick set of negative comments they start
their project. While trying to breed snails. Pacey gets creative and decides to put a male snail
with the two female snails(the guy's perfect fantasy) trying to breed. Unfortunately female snails
can reproduce by themselves, and the male eats both snails while being eaten. No more snails.

We now see Dawson and Mary Beth, and Jen and Cliff at the carnival. They start playing a
game of trying to knock down the milk bottles. Cliff wins first, and Dawson with his male ego
challenges him again. Dawson wins and when he goes to give the prize to his Date, he
accidentally starts to give it to Jen. Mary Beth runs off. Dawson goes and talks to her. Dawson
and Mary Beth talk and Dawson learns that she likes Cliff and Dawson tells her that he only
asked out her to make Jen jealous. They work out a plan....?!

Pacey and Joey go to catch snails in a local river. They row out and start catching them. When
they go to where the boat is tied up, there is no boat. Why, the boat is downstream of course.
They swim, in freezing water, back to the car. Pacey says that they have to strip, wrap
themselves in blankets, and get warm. They start to strip, and Pacey goes in the car to let Joey
undress. Pacey looks in the side mirror and watches Joey change; why Pacey, you devil!

Dawson and the dating gang are in line at the Ferris wheel. Dawson grabs Jen, and Mary Beth
grabs Cliff, saying they haven't talked that much yet. Dawson and Jen talk, and he tells her the
truth, and asks her why she dumped him. They get into a sort-of-a fight and Jen tells him she
doesn't know what's going on.

Dawson sees Pacey and Joey at the Carnival. Pacey goes to talk with Dawson, and asks him if
it's ok if he asks Joey out. He says yes, changes his mind in a daze, and changes it again back
to yes. When Pacey drops off Joey, he kisses her, but she does not kiss back. She says she
does not like him that way. They both understand that mixed signals were given and forget it
ever happened.

Dawson goes to the video store and tells Pacey that he changed his mind, and does not want
Pacey to kiss Joey. Pacey says it's to late, and gives Dawson a phony story, When Dawson
says he full of it, Pacey agrees. Then Pacey asks Dawson the question we have all been
waiting for. "So Dawson, which one, the Blonde or the Brunette?"
