    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Someone mentions Emilio Estevez in The Breakfast Club (1985) and Pacey ('Joshua Jackson' ) says, "He was in those Duck movies. Those were classic! So funny!" Joshua Jackson was one of the main characters in the Mighty Ducks movies (The Mighty Ducks (1992).
    • Goofs
      When Dawson throws the basketball at Pacey, the ball first hits Pacey's face before bouncing onto the filming camera lens and then away again.
    • Quotes

      Dawson Leery: This is so Breakfast Club!

      Jen: Breakfast Club?

      Dawson Leery: You know, the John Hughes movie where five kids are stuck in detention all day?

      Joey Potter: Yeah, in the beginning they hate each other, and then by the end they're best friends.

      Jen: Oh yeah. God, that movie stunk! Whatever happened to those actors?

      Dawson Leery: Well, Anthony Michael Hall developed some weird thyroid condition, Molly Ringwald lost her gawky ingenue appeal, and the rest are languishing somewhere in TV hell.

      Pacey: No way! Emilio Estevez! He was in those Duck movies, remember? God, those were classics, so funny!

      [Jen, Dawson and Joey stare at him blankly]

      Pacey: What?

    One of the best episodes in the whole series..
    This was one of the best episodes in the whole series for me.. The delivery of very powerful emotions was done perfectly by the (then) young cast. I rewatched it today and still felt the same feelings that I felt the first time I watched this episode, many many years ago..
