No sooner has Dawson started at "Viz Arts" than Oliver is ruining his life.
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"!
