Dawson's Creek

The Story

Last season saw Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Jen and Jack leaving their small town cocoon and heading into the unknown. Each young adult struggled to find his or her place in a world where dreams don't always match up with reality. Still contemplating his last kiss with his lifelong friend and confidante Joey, Dawson followed his Hollywood dream and embarked on his USC program with an internship in the film industry. The unexpected death of his father changed Dawson's plans, and he found himself moving to Boston and producing a student film. Joey enrolled at Worthington College in Boston and tackled the challenges of living up to her own academic expectations, a new roommate and a life without her best friend.

This season, Joey and Dawson will take their relationship further than ever before, though they will soon be torn apart again and Joey will find an exciting new love interest. Dawson will pursue a career in the film industry, and begin to work on a low-budget film project with echoes of his life in Capeside. He will also find himself involved with a Hollywood starlet.

While his friends were all in college classes and co-ed dorms, Pacey found work as a chef in a Boston restaurant and contemplated his uncertain future. Eager to move on with his own love life, Pacey fell for a Joey's roommate, Audrey. With a newfound confidence that he actually might find something he's good at, Pacey will soon embark on a lucrative new career that comes as a surprise to everyone - including Pacey himself.
Jen and Jack also relocated to Boston last season, where they bunked with Jen's grandmother, Grams, who packed up her life in Capeside and moved to the big city. Grams and her weekly Sunday night dinners provide the stability of some semblance of home and family to the group. This season, Jen will need some stability as she deals with her parents' impending divorce, and Jack will face sexual harassment from a professor.
