Dawson's Creek: Season 6

Joey recaps the events of the summer: in Capeside she had a brief relationship with a cute guy; Pacey and Audrey enjoyed partying in Los Angeles; Jack, in Boston, enjoyed a summer of casual sex; Jen, in New York, was delighted to hear her parents are divorcing; and Dawson, in Los Angeles, was working hard as Todd's assistant. College starts and the group converges in Boston. Audrey and Pacey return from Los Angeles with Audrey's childhood friend Jack Osbourne. Joey has chosen a class for older s

After having sex the night before, Joey and Dawson share a sweet moment in the morning. Jen, who has discovered that Grams is in some of her classes, meets fellow student C.J. Braxton (Jensen Ackles), who recognizes her from her radio gig the prior year. He invites her to join a peer-counseling group he is part of, believing her perspective will be valuable. Pacey and Jack pursue Emma's apartment and after some cajoling (and a few good words on their behalf from Audrey), she lets them move in. P

Joey's worst nightmare comes true when she accidentally sends a very personal e-mail to, not Dawson, but the entire student body. The next morning, Professor Hetson decides to openly debate it with his students just to further embarrass Joey for no clear reason. Meanwhile, Jack makes an attempt to get to know a little better his cultural professor, Mark Freeman (Sebastian Spence), who pays no attention to Jack. Pacey, while struggling to survive the first days on his new job, closes a very impor

Dawson is commissioned to go to the airport and pick up lead actress Natasha Kelly (Bianca Kajlich); she treats Dawson dismissively, still apparently upset by the fact that he dumped her via phone. She demands that Todd fire him, and Todd -- despite genuine remorse -- does. Pacey, who is studying for his Series 7 exam, is forced to turn down Audrey, who wants to go out and party with Jack and Jen; he is then invited by Rich to go out on the town with company bigwigs, leading to an uncomfortable

Heather Tracy (Nicole Bilderback), a Hollywood producer, visits the Wicked Dead set: Todd is four days behind schedule and hasn't returned Heather's calls. (She's also still angry over him dumping her.) She identifies Natasha as the weak link and prepares to fire her; Todd is prepared to comply, prioritizing the needs of the many. As Joey presents on Lolita, Eddie defends her from Hetson's scathing critique, leading to some sort of showdown in which Eddie quits the class after being accused of u

Dawson assists Todd in throwing a massive blow-out Halloween party on the film sound stage, complete with a live band (Murderdolls); however, Todd tells him the soundstage is haunted by the ghost of actress Melanie Ray. Audrey and Pacey, attending it, are still stricken by their cooling relationship; Audrey has not confessed to her attempt at a one-night stand, and feels that Pacey should be prioritizing his girlfriend over his job -- which Pacey, who does not have rich parents to fall back on,

Joey is astonished to learn that Audrey dumped Pacey, and Audrey castigates her for being an absent friend. Performing with Hell's Belles, she gets drunk, despite Eddie's too-little-too-late refusal to serve her more alcohol, and, during an enthusiastic performance of "One Way or Another," trashes the bar. This is an embarrassment to not only Joey but Jen, who had invited C.J. out in an attempt to romance him. C.J., watching Audrey's antics, speculates a deeper depression, and admits that his ow

Courtesy of Todd, Dawson gives Jen ten tickets to a No Doubt concert in Worcester, reserving the last two, and the backstage passes, for himself and Natasha. Almost everyone brings a date: * Dawson discovers that his tickets and backstage passes are actually for the following night. He, Natasha and Natasha's cleavage attempt to charm their way in, but are ultimately arrested and must be bailed out by Todd. Despite this, Dawson admits to having enjoyed the evening. * Joey brings Eddie, but discov

Famed movie star Max Winter (Eddie Cahill) arrives on the set of Wicked Dead to shoot his scenes and Natasha eagerly sequesters herself to rehearse with him. But she lies to Max that she has no current romantic involvements -- which both Dawson and Todd overhear. Dawson plans to confront her about it -- especially after seeing Max leave her hotel room -- but ends up staying quiet. Meanwhile, Joey is trying to cram for Hetson's final at Hell's Kitchen (the library is packed and she can't face Aud

Dawson and Gail invite everyone back to Capeside for Christmas; everyone from Boston attends, with the exception of Jack who is in Europe with Andie and their father. Pacey arrives with expensive presents, leading Doug to suspect his job is not legit. Natasha attempts to seduce Dawson in his bedroom, but Dawson asks about her flirtation with Max Winter, and her lie. She admits she slept with him. Joey invites Eddie, but when he arrives he is questioned by Mike Potter about his career. At the Chr

On a Monday in January, Todd congratulates his cast and crew for completing principal photography on Wicked Dead. * Tuesday: Todd is confronted by the studio's demands for re-shoots and, despite Dawson's counsel of patience, refuses. Joey, who has not heard from Eddie since Christmas, finds Harley at Hell's Kitchen; she is now living with Hetson due to her mother's work priorities, and has cut classes. Pacey, lunching at a public aquarium near his work, runs into Emma. Jen begins training as a p

Audrey begs her friends for a second chance. She is given another shot at Hell's Belles, who have a major gig that week. Alas, she relapses, getting drunk before the show starts and eventually passing out on stage. Emma throws Audrey out of the band (again). Pacey is invited to a party hosted by Roger Stepavich (Ray Wise) the founder and owner of a pharmaceutical company called Stepatech Industries where Rich promotes Pacey to be 'in charge' of the brokerage's Stepatech accounts. However, Pacey

In Los Angeles, while directing re-shoots on "Wicked Dead", Dawson finds his authority questioned when Natasha refuses to do a nude scene and the cameraman challenges Dawson's choice of shots. As a result, Dawson adopts a take-no-prisoners attitude to take control of the situation. In Boston, Jen consoles a dumped Grams, and Jen and C.J. set Grams up with C.J.'s Uncle Bill (Geoffrey Lewis), who turns out to be rude but able to make Grams laugh. Eddie is accepted to the writers' workshop and is m

In Los Angeles, Dawson visits Audrey at the rehab clinic where he spots big-time film producer Toni Stark (Alicia Coppola) and follows her into a therapy session in the hopes of networking, but the whole scheme backfires. Meanwhile, in Boston, Pacey throws a party at his place to celebrate his new success at his job; he also purchases a wide-screen TV. Emma invites a local stoner punk named Gus (Esteban Powell) and introduces him as her fiancé; she admits that she has dropped out of school due t

After agreeing to go with Pacey to a business party and witnessing him flirt with another girl the whole night, Joey demands to be taken home. When Pacey stops at a local Kmart for condoms, they are accidentally locked inside the store overnight. The two are forced to discuss their past and current relationship: they feel uncomfortable talking about sex with each other, they never discuss their past and they never had closure. In an intimate moment, Joey shaves off his goatee beard; afterwards,

Professor Heston asks Joey to baby-sit for Harley to make sure she does her homework; but Joey ends up serving as relationship counselor when she finds Harley's boyfriend, Patrick (Taylor Handley), hiding in the house. Patrick starts to drool over Joey which makes Harley jealous. Meanwhile, Dawson pays a visit to his past when he's asked to speak to Mr. Gold's class at Capeside High about how it is to be working in L.A. One of the students, George (Lukas Behnken), asks Dawson to watch his film,

Joey, on spring break for the next two weeks, accepts Rich's offer to be Pacey's temporary secretary, but shows a complete lack of professionalism. This is exacerbated when a local newspaper reporter, named Sadia Shaw, arrives to interview Pacey, and he recognizes her as the attractive woman from the Stepatech party five episodes ago. Their mutual jealousy ends the only way it can: with a tryst in Pacey's office. Meanwhile, Dawson enlists Heather Tracy's help in pitching his next film to studio

Jen's seemingly happy world comes crashing down when she learns that Grams has breast cancer. Meanwhile, Joey's tumultuous love life continues when Eddie begs her to go back to California with him, and Pacey agrees to join Joey as she chaperones for Harley's school dance, but what should be a magical night doesn't feel right for Joey. Feeling too scared to jump back into a relationship with Pacey, she goes back to Eddie. Although he is at first reluctant, Pacey agrees to invest Dawson's life sav

Eddie confronts Joey over her unwillingness to have sex with him. David is hurt when Jack lets Fred (Matt Funke), who had earlier flirted with him before finding out the two were involved, sit in a seat which Jack had been reserving for David. Jen, feeling overwhelmed by the reality of Grams' cancer, dumps C.J. All of this is played out on stage as Boston Bay College hosts Loveline personalities Drew Pinsky and Adam Carolla (playing themselves), and all three relationships are placed under the r

Pacey learns he has lost all of his as well as Dawson's money in the stock market after unwisely investing all of it in the Stepatech bio-tech stock that just went bust after a public FDA rejection of Stepatech's "miracle flu" drug. Sadia Shaw then breaks up with Pacey after telling him that she and her former boyfriend have decided to get back together. After work, things turn from bad to worse for Pacey when he privately asks his boss Rich Rinaldi to borrow $18,000 to refund Dawson's money, bu

Joey returns to Capeside to find Dawson's script on her doorstep and is overwhelmed that he has written a story about three friends. She spends the day with Dawson rebuilding their friendship. Later that evening, Dawson's movie-making dreams are shattered when the broke and unemployed Pacey arrives and comes clean about losing all of Dawson's money. The ensuing verbal fight opens old wounds, and Dawson finally articulates why he has struggled to forgive Pacey all these years for the constant bad

Pacey and Jack move out of their Boston apartment and go their separate ways. Jack moves in with Jen and Grams, and Pacey moves back to Capeside and in with his brother Doug, who does not hide his contempt and disappointment in Pacey after he tells Doug the truth about losing his job and all of his money. Also in Capeside, when a depressed Dawson gives up his dream of making his film, his soulmate and first producer Joey refuses to accept it. Joey takes it on herself to rally a crew: Jack and Je
