Complete story — includes the ending
Dawson and Gail invite everyone back to Capeside for Christmas; everyone from Boston attends, with the exception of Jack, who is in Europe with Andie and their father. Pacey arrives with expensive presents, leading Doug to suspect his job is not legit. Natasha attempts to seduce Dawson in his bedroom, but he asks about her flirtation with Max Winter, and her lie. She admits she slept with him. Joey invites Eddie, but when he arrives he is questioned by Mike Potter about his career. At the Christmas dinner, a drunk Todd and an even drunker Audrey begin airing the group's dirty laundry: Jen's pain that C.J. slept with Audrey not her; Pacey and Dawson's unresolved rivalry over Joey; Dawson and Joey's unresolved feelings over finally sleeping with one another. Audrey leaves and steals Pacey's new BMW, accidentally driving it into the Leerys' living room. Pacey begs Doug to blame the incident on him; Doug, despite misgivings over letting Audrey's drinking remain unchallenged, complies. Natasha realizes that Dawson is too serious and breaks up with him. Eddie also leaves believing he should have trusted his first instincts that sharing Christmas with Joey's family was too much too soon. Absent: Kerr Smith
