When I saw the name of the episode, I thought I could predict the entire plot from all the other teen series I've seen, but darn, it was nothing that I had expected. I love how this show can be real at times and didn't show 'the dance' as something very magical and beautiful, it can be..uh, what would be a good word..cringe? I mean the part where Dawson tries to ask Jen for a dance while she was with her date, and I was not expecting that they would actually make Pacey try to hit on the teahcer..interesting but made me pretty uncomfortable. Overall shows that Dawson's Creek is 'not like other teen shows'
