7. You Had Me at Goodbye

Complete story — includes the ending

While Andie is recovering from her near-fatal overdose at the party, Jack unfairly blames Jen for the whole incident and refuses to talk to her. Jen blames Drue for her life falling apart when he turns Grams and the whole town against her by telling everyone that he gave Jen the drugs, and they got from her to Andie. Drue goes even further by deliberately getting both himself and Jen arrested over the incident in a twisted ploy of his to further isolate Jen from her friends and bring her closer to him. After Andie comes home from the hospital, her father offers her the chance to spend the rest of the school year in Italy with a relative, telling her that she has more than enough credits to graduate. Andie decides to go and plans a goodbye dinner with the whole gang. She tells them how important life is and not to waste valuable time with useless bickering. Jack and Jen get things straight and Andie tricks Dawson and Pacey into playing nice with each other, resulting in the last photograph of the six main characters together as friends. The episode is dedicated to David Dukes, who had died of a sudden heart attack on October 9th of that year. It also marks the last appearance of Andie and Jack's father Mr. McPhee, whom Dukes played prior to his death.
