Billy and Jen spent the day together and Jen gives him a final good bye kiss. She leaves to go

Meanwhile, Dawson's parents have been having a hard time. Their doctor tells them to try
new things, so they try scuba diving. It doesn't work. Dawson talks with his Dad and his

gear, Mr. Leaey tells Mrs. Leery that they should get back to the old ways, not the new. And
they pop in a tape and dance.
