Complete story — includes the ending

Capeside prepares for its annual boat racing regatta. Pacey has entered with Will as his crew and Leery's Fresh Fish, Mitch and Gail's new restaurant, as his sponsor. Dawson decides to compete as well, bringing in Jack and Mitch as his crew and with Potters' Bed and Breakfast as his sponsor. Both Joey and Pacey realize Dawson is trying to make Joey the prize, though Dawson himself is oblivious; during the race, he breaks the rules by cutting off True Love, and is disqualified despite being first across the finish line. Joey scolds him for it, and tells both boys that she is not worth fighting over. After many weeks of deliberating, Gail finally makes things happen with Mitch. Henry, attempting to make up for his insensitivity in the previous episode, begs Jen to forgive him, and they spend a romantic night together on the roof of the restaurant. Grams is disappointed at Jen's conduct until Jen reveals that the two did not have sex.
