3. The Importance of Not Being Too Earnest

Complete story — includes the ending

Joey's worst nightmare comes true when she accidentally sends a very personal e-mail to, not Dawson, but the entire student body. The next morning, Professor Hetson decides to openly debate it with his students just to further embarrass Joey for no clear reason. Meanwhile, Jack makes an attempt to get to know a little better his cultural professor, Mark Freeman ( Sebastian Spence ), who pays no attention to him. Pacey, while struggling to survive the first days on his new job, closes a very important deal for the firm, which Rich takes full credit for. Eddie ( Oliver Hudson ), a student in Prof. Hetson's class who also works as the bartender at Hell's Kitchen, persuades Joey to confront any challenge that Hetson throws and not show any weakness, since Hetson thrives on it. The final scene depicts Dawson, the only person who didn't get Joey's e-mail, attempting to write his own version of it to her, before being called away by Todd to the set.
