Complete story — includes the ending
As graduation approaches, Joey has a tough time preparing her salutatorian speech, but is inspired by a surprise gift from her late mother. Pacey wonders if he's going to graduate at all, and studies hard for his last final. When his pencil breaks, the teacher makes a snide comment about his lack of preparedness, and Pacey talks back saying the teacher and school always focus on the honors students instead of the struggling under-achiever types like him. He then walks out. The teacher later goes to his home and invites him to take the final there. Meanwhile, Andie McPhee returns home for the cap and gown ceremony, and is surprised but happy to meet Jack's new boyfriend, Tobey. Drue, who is staying at Jen's after a fight with his mother, convinces Jen to help him pull one last senior prank by setting off the school lawn sprinklers during the commencement, but they get caught by Principal Peskin, who gives them detention for two hours by forcing them to hear his terrible cello playing skills. Pacey tells Andie he has decided to take Kubelik's job offer on the boat, and is last seen boarding a plane as he graduates in absentia.
