Dawson's Creek - #100: Emotions in Motion

This is the Review from the Official Web Page

"Emotions in Motion" #100

The series opens with Dawson Leery (James Van Der Beek), a good looking 15-year-old who aspires to be Steven Spielberg, and his lifelong friend, Josephine "Joey" Potter (Katie Holmes), ending one of their many summer nights spent together. Joey brings up the fact that they are growing up and shouldn't be spending the night in the same bed. Dawson states that their friendship is too good to let sexual tension make a difference. Joey agrees and stays over. Joey has lost her mother to cancer and her father to prison, so Dawson and her sister are all that Joey has in the world.

Jennifer Lindley (Michelle Williams), a beautiful girl from New York moves in next door to Dawson. He and his bud, Pacey Witter (Joshua Jackson) are both taken with her, but Dawson seems to have a keener interest in her, chatting with her later on the dock and showing her his "studio," a.k.a. his bedroom. Joey overhears the two innocently talking and is not at all happy about it.

While working at the local video store, Pacey waits on an attractive older woman who asks him if they have "The Graduate" while overtly flirting with him. Pacey is smitten and quickly becomes a man on a mission. He later finds out that she is one of his new teachers at Capeside High, but that does not deter him from pursuing her. He asks Dawson to come to the movies with him to "conveniently" run into her. Dawson is talked into it and asks Jen to come along. To make it less awkward, he talks an unwilling Joey into coming along.

Jen has moved to Capeside to help her grandmother care for her ailing grandfather. Something happened to Jen in her hometown of NY to make her reject God and organized religion, which infuriates her Bible thumping grandmother.

The night at the movies is a disaster for all involved. Joey makes several embarrassing remarks to Dawson and Jen, letting her envy get the better of her. Pacey seeks out Tamara, his teacher and video vixen. He ends up getting punched in an altercation with Tamara's date. He later runs into Tamara at the marina and accuses her of using him to prove her attractiveness despite her years. She kisses him passionately and runs off in embarrassment.

Dawson returns home and finds Joey in his closet. They both admit that they find one another attractive, but aren't attracted to each other. Joey is convinced that the time has come that they can't talk about everything and asks him how often he masturbates to prove her point. He bids her good night, but then shouts out to her that he takes care of business in the morning with thoughts of Katie Couric. Just as the show is about to end happily, Joey sees Dawson's mother kissing her co-anchor, confirming an affair that Dawson had suspected throughout the episode.
