Boisterous Billy Konrad convinces Dawson the best way to get over his break-up is to come, with Pacey, on a boys dating trip to the city, Providence, by ferry; on board 'boring' Dawson is tempted to prove he can be mischievous fun too, masterminding a rather mean prank involving a mooning by Pacey to a hot-tempered victim, whose car is chained down to its damage. Back home, studly jock Warren Goering uses his ladies man-reputation to make the whole school believe Joey Potter did it with him, but Jen finds out he's just as desperate a virgin and even worse given the reason, and their attitude is ruthlessly vindictive despite his accommodating, sporting reaction. In a pick-up bar in Providence, sensitive, timid Dawson sees trough Billy's plan to use him as bad boy preparing the chick, gets a girl to his taste charmed utterly willing but decides against being 'unfaithfull'.
