All the excitement Dawson had about directing Oliver's movie has dissipated now that he's actually shooting it: Oliver is a terrible actor, the ending still doesn't work, and everyone has ideas that may or may not conflict with Dawson's vision. On top of that, learning lines is getting a little too Method for Audrey and Pacey, who's helping her; and Audrey's also getting caught up in the drama of her roommate Joey's entanglement with Wilder. Elsewhere, Jack is trying to get back into his frat brothers' good graces after the Civilization bar fight in the previous episode; Eric's overtures may not be something Jack can safely take at face value. Get ready to run and gun: Adam Grosswirth is back for our episode on "Guerrilla Filmmaking"!

The time has finally come for Dawson to quit screwing around and enroll at a school in Boston -- "Viz Arts," as he is apparently determined to call it. Oliver from the New Hampshire film festival spots him on campus almost immediately and wastes no time almost literally throwing his insanely long new script at Dawson and asking him to direct it. Possibly in part because Dawson can tell how much their classmates hate Oliver, Dawson demurs...but remains exactly polite enough to irritate Jen as Oliver keeps stealing time away from her and Dawson. But considering that Jen's producers at the radio station are so sick of how shmoopy she is on mic lately, a little rage may be just what her relationship with Dawson needs right now. Elliot works up the courage to ask Joey out for dinner and a movie, and she accepts. Yay! But then Prof. Wilder swoops in with a closing dinner for everyone who worked on the Rose Lazar archive, and it's the SAME NIGHT as her date. Boo! The way you can tell that, despite her denials, Joey IS hot for teacher is how shady she is breaking her date with Elliot in Prof. Wilder's favor. Jack is trying to be super-casual about the fact that he landed on academic probation precisely one semester into college, but no one else feels that way -- not even his frat brothers, who alternately stress out about how Jack's failure will reflect on the house and mock him for being stupid. Jack's got a lot to drink about! You might also want something alcoholic to pair with our episode on "Something Wilder"!

Jen and Dawson have now been housemates nearly as long as they've been dating, and Jen is getting itchy: she's grossed out when Dawson wants to use her toothbrush (which he only has to because she commandeered his for makeup purposes) and violated when he starts going through her stuff in the bathroom. Jen channels these feelings into advice for the female students who call in asking for relationship tips, which is fine until Dawson tunes in just as she's saying that although you can delay it with sex, all men leave. Jack is finding out this is true in a sense at the frat house: as he moves in to a capacious single, upperclassman Blossom is moving into a shared room with Eric. Turns out Jack is right to be suspicious about how THAT arrangement came about. On the heels of Pacey's big promotion at [eye-roll] Civilization, Melanie returns with a thrilling offer: her uncle bought a bigger boat and he's taking it out to sail around the Greek Islands...in three days. What will Pacey do? And will his increased contact with Audrey sway his decision? Professor Wilder's new course boasts both Joey and Elliot, the guy Joey literally bumped into in the season premiere. After Wilder (creepily) notices Elliot watching Joey during class and (even more creepily) forces him to talk to her, Joey has to determine whether it's worth getting involved with one of Audrey's exes...or is he? Don't sleep on our episode on "Sleeping Arrangements"!
